Vault 101. Overseer's office. Now.

"Wally Mack? How? More importantly, why?" Fyrus said as he blinked multiple times to see if he was imagining this.

This can't be right. I would expect Butch or someone else. Something's off. Fyrus thought mind-blown.

"Surprised?" Wally said with a nasty grin.

"Actually, now that I think about it, not really." Fyrus said to him.

Wally got up out of the chair and looked out to the Atrium area. Fyrus slung his rifle and walked into the room and stopped next to the Overseer's computer. He saw some crazy stuff out in the wastes, but this made killing the Enclave look like shooting a RadScorpion with a BB Gun. That didn't end well after he tried that 2 years ago near the Vault 101 Entrance. He almost died.

"I thought the Merc's would have gotten to you before this." Wally said.

"They did." Fyrus said as he took off his Power Helmet.

"I shouldn't be surprised. Now, if your wondering how this happened..." He said with a grin.

"Yes. start from the beginning." He said as he found a spot to sit. This would be quite the story to Fyrus if it's true.

Vault 101 Apartments. 2 months ago.

"Man, I'm just sick and tired of "Amata this and Amata that." Wally said as he sat down for some lunch.

"Got a problem with it?" Butch said after drinking a Nuka Cola from the fridge.

" Its been little over a year now and we should be out of the Vault now. I mean, it's like she's taunting us to leave!" Wally said impatiently.

"Not my problem." Butch told him.

"Really? Not your problem Butch? If you had killed Fyrus when you had the chance, we might not be this way!" Wally yelled at him.

"Yeah? So, what are you going to do about it?" Butch said as he got up and stood across from Wally.

"Now that you mention it..."

"What?" "

"Think about it. If we get Amata off the chair, then we get our tickets out of this dump." Wally said without even thinking.

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Butch told him.

"The only way this plant wouldn't work is that Fyrus comes back and sees this happening." Wally informed him.

"Look, Wally. Butch said. "We may be friends, but..."

"But what?" Wally said lifting one eyebrow up.

"I don't want any part of this." Butch told him and walked out the door and left.

"Fine. Feel free to walk away, Butch. My offer still stands!" He yelled at Butch as he left.

"So, that's how it happened." Fyrus said as he stood up and put his helmet on.

"Where were we? Oh yes. The part about Amata." He said as he turned around to face Fyrus.

"Where is she? So help me if you hurt her..." Fyrus said as he unslung his rifle and charged it. Then he point it at him and moved closer to Wally.

"She fine. But you won't get to see her again, Fyrus." Wally said as he brandished a Riot shotgun and cocked it.

"Look, Wally. It doesn't have to end like this." Fyrus said as he put his left hand up. The last thing he wanted was to have blood of a maniac on his hands.

"It's too late, I'm afraid." Wally said pointing it at Fyrus trying to get a good shot.

"So. That's how its gonna be, then?" Fyrus asked him.

Wally nodded.

"Fine by me."

Vault 101 Prison Chamber. 1 minute later.

Amata was worried. She was a young beautiful women with back hair and green eyes. She's the kind of person you meet once in a million years. By that I'm serious. She knew that Wally by hiring the Talon Company Fyrus would come back to the Vault. She knew it wasn't right to kick him out but she had good reason to do it at the time. She cared about Fyrus more then anything in the world. She knew when the saw each other again, it would be a tough argument. But she knew she deserved to be yelled at for that.

"Hey, Amata. Whats wrong?" Christene said to her as she saw her face from the corner of her eye.

"It's just...what of he doesn't come back?" She said as she stood up.

"Don't worry. He'll come back. I hope."

"I wish he'd come back and sort this this mess out. That way we could..."Freddie Gomez said right before he heard a 2 gunshots. It was dead silent after that noise...

Overseer's Office. Right now.

Wally fired the shotgun. As soon as he fired, Fyrus shot the gun out of his hands and caught it in his hand and pointed both of the weapons at Wally. He was lucky that he didn't hurt him at all. That would have made his dad Allen Mack real mad. Fyrus made the motion to hand him the key to the prison cell. Wally didn't object. He left the room and motioned for Sarah to cuff him.

"Why don't we just ice him and get them out, its not like you to keep a criminal living." Sarah asked him confused.

"He's not a threat to us anymore." Fyrus told her.

"Why? Don't you think I at least have a chance Fyrus?"

What Sarah said is true. Fyrus never let a criminal run free. But he felt like he owed pity to a person he'd known most of his life. Same as the Overseer. And Amata.

"Who do you think you are?" He said as they kept walking.

"Well, I happen to be a Regulator, Member of Reilly's Rangers, and Head Paladin of the Brotherhood Of Steel, Capital Wasteland branch." Fyrus told him Ice cold.

"Oh." Wally Mumbled to himself as they moved on.

"Head Paladin!" Kodiak yelled out. " We've secured the area and caught all the Vault guards. What do you want us to do with them?" He said as he and the rest of the pride walked up and put the guards down on the ground.

"I think the Overseer should have the choice this time, Kodiak. Not me." Fyrus told the group.

"So what are we waiting here for? Sarah said. Lets go find them and we can go home."

"Agreed." Fyrus said.

Vault 101 Prison Chamber. 5 minutes later.

"What's going on? Alphonse said. "Where are all the guards? Wasn't Officer Gomez supposed to watch us today?"

"How do you think we know?" Butch said to him. "Probably another staff meeting."

"That was scheduled for a different time." Fyrus said as he walked in the room.

"Fyrus! How did you get here? What's going on? Are you okay?" Amata said full of relief.

"Your little friend's hitmen found me and led me straight here. Isn't that right, Wally?" He said as he unlocked the door.

"Um..." Wally said nervously.

Amata got up and walked right next to Wally and socked him dead in the face. He fell to the side with a thud.

"Nice punch." Captain Colvin said.

You bastard! I should kill you for what you've done!" Amata shouted.

"Then whats stopping you?" Wally asked her.

"Because I have a better idea. Your going to stay in this cell and rot. Like you tried to do us."

"Wh-What?" Your just me put me there and let me die? Fyrus, please! Be reasonable!" He pleaded hopelessly as they put all the guards except Officer Gomez in the cell with him.

"Sorry Mack, It's her call. Take care now." Fyrus said as he and the others walked away.

Vault 101 Door.

"I never thought I would see it again. Thanks, Fyrus. I meant it." Amata said to him.

Fyrus told the group to wait at the door control. He looked at Amata.

"Care to do the honors?" He asked her.

"With pleasure." Amata said and closed the Vault. For good.

They all left and headed for the surface. It was a long time coming for them all.
