A/N: It's been a while since i updated, i've been busy lately and i won't really have alot of free time but i will get chapters uploaded as soon as i can.
Where To Now?
As me and Danielle were heading to the vault, I realized how critical food, ammo and a lot of other things are hard to find out here. I heard commotion in the scrap yard so I went in, I didn't have any ammo since those raiders from earlier took it, I only had 1 bullet in the chamber. I saw a group of raiders messing with a K9. I yelled which got their attention. They all pulled out bats and pool cues, I waited till they got closer than I pulled out my pistol. They dropped their weapons backing away saying don't kill me, I won't raid ever again. When they were out of sight I put my gun back on my belt. I got on my knees motioning for the dog to come here, once he was in front of me I saw his collar read Dogmeat. He was whimpering so I looked behind him and saw a dead guy, I looked at Dogmeat and said I'm sorry about your master but would you like to join me, he barked and jumped up licking my face. Come on boy I said to him and stood up and walked right beside me.
Danielle instead of going to the vault how about we go to the Jefferson Memorial, since there giving free water, alright she replied. While we were heading there we were stopped by a old shack that said recruiting station, Danielle went in while I waited outside, it was a Talon Mercenary thing, apparently they changed to only kill bad people and help the good. She came out with a form that she had to fill out. When she did she went back in she didn't come out for a few minutes. When she did she said that she would see me in three weeks, I asked why she replied that she was going to their base for basic training, Dogmeat was shaking his head at her, I agree with Dogmeat I said to her, listen she replied this is good for the both of us I get us ammo and weapons also caps, alright I hugged her goodbye, as I was turning around she grabbed my arm and pulled me back for a kiss, a Talon Mercenary said to Danielle to get on the helicopter. I watched as she flew away.
I looked back down to Dogmeat and said well it's just me and you buddy. We kept walking and finally got to the Jefferson Memorial. I went in a talked to somebody who can deliver water to my vault for 1000 caps, I told her I don't have 1000 caps, well she said there is another way, how I asked, if you join the Brotherhood I'll make sure the water gets delivered, now hold on just a second I said, I'm no brotherhood material, yes you are she shot back, when was the last time you looked at yourself in the mirror, your strong, athletic and from what I can tell from GNR you know how to talk your way out of things. Fine I'll join, great just sign here. There will be a helicopter to take you to The Citadel.
1 month later
I was laying in the barracks since me and Dogmeat reluctantly joined we have been in basic training, yes they train animals to, Dogmeat had a brotherhood of steel collar on, and I had my holo tags. Dogmeat was lying right beside me, someone tuned in on GNR on the radio and Three dogg was talking about how the two vault dwellers are now split up and how he is doing a new segment called The Vault Dweller and the Lone Wanderer, I'm the Lone Wanderer and Danielle is the Vault Dweller. Danielle I thought in my head, I pictured her, I wonder what she is doing now. As I closed my eyes and listened to the radio I heard two other soldiers talking about girls, then out of nowhere a loud explosion happened, the Major ran in and said GET OUT OF THOSE BEDS, MOVE IT YOU MAGGOTS MOVE IT. Some people where properly dressed some were running in their underwear while others missing some of their power armor. I was dressed in full power armor, since I went on patrol earlier today. I grabbed my Gauss Rifle which was now a standard soldier weapons since it is so powerful. And made my way to the hallway, I saw a soldier run straight into wires which were electrocuted. I ran and once I got to the door which led to the courtyard, I saw that they were blown open and a soldier got shot up. I ran out and saw that the Citadel was blown up, a soldier ran past me yelling "Their all over the place, their all over the place". I saw the Enclave soldiers shooting everyone in sight; I saw an opening in the wall only to be filled with falling debris. I started shooting enclave soldiers on the balcony, I got most of them when I saw a huge missile heading straight for the citadel, I yelled to Dogmeat to get out of here, there was a little hole that lead to the outside he could get into, he looked back at me and I yelled find Danielle, with that he took off running. I looked back at the missile and saw a huge explosion before everything went black.
I could hear muffled voices, I tried opening my eyes and saw that I couldn't see straight my vision was blurry, I looked down and saw my armor was covered in blackness from the explosion, I saw a pool of blood going from under my body going into the water nearby before blacking out. Daddy look it's the Lone Wanderer, I heard more voices, I opened my eyes and saw a little kid and his dad approaching me, the man walked up to me and said are you okay, I pointed down the where the blood was, oh my god, stay here, Peter the man said, go get your mom and tell her to start preparing for surgery, the kid ran off, the man took out a stimpak and med x, the stimpak took some of the pain off while the med x numbed me. The man picked me up and carried me over his shoulders, you're a lot less heavier than I thought, I lost almost if not all of my blood. And I'm sure I have a couple broken bones, I'm sure but your gonna live through this, my wife is the best doctor in Arefu she will help you, what's your name I asked him, Jim but people call me Mr. West. How long ago was the explosion I asked, 2 days ago he replied. I blacked out again. When I woke up I looked down and saw a bloody bandage, my power armor was clean in the corner along with my gauss rifle which Mr. West fixed. Easy don't sit up so fast Ms. West said, you've lost a lot of blood, so I had to use blood packs, your bones are fixed. How long was I out I asked, 2 weeks she said. Fuck I have to find Danielle, Danielle Ms. West said with surprise, yea we have to find this water chip, you mean the blonde haired blue eyed girl, yea I said, well she stopped here earlier, I didn't tell her we had you, why I asked, she came here looking for you and if you died I didn't want to be the one to tell her. You know you mean the world to that girl, I laughed yea she is something else I said. Get some sleep I'll have her stop by here tomorrow morning first thing, alright thank you Ms. West I said as I turned to go to sleep. The next day I felt much better, I sat up and heard a knocking at the door, Ms. West got up from making Coffee over an open fire, Danielle come in she said. When Danielle saw me she ran over and hugged me I heard her crying, Dogmeat then walked in and jumped up and licked my face.
I thought you were dead Danielle said looking at me. I thought so to but the West family here saved me. Their son Peter walked in the door and his eyes lit up like a fire cracker, wow he exclaimed the Lone Wanderer and the Vault Dweller in my house, I stood up and shook peter's hand, so did Danielle, can I have your autograph he asked, even better I said, I had two holo tags one was a replacement, I put the replacement holo tag around peters neck and Daniel gave peter a Talon Mercenary wristband with her name on it, since she had two she gave him one. Wow peter said, mommy, daddy look I got cool stuff from super heroes, I laughed at that. Mr. West told peter to go play and said to me and Danielle that Peter looks up to us and wants to be just like us one day, well if you want I can drop by here one day every two weeks and hang out with peter. I think he would like that very much Mr. West said, hey thanks again for helping me I said to the West's, no problem it was our pleasure and if your ever in Arefu pay us a visit. I will as we walked out I saw peter playing with the other kids showing them what we gave him. As we walked by Peter pointed to us saying that's them, I took off my helmet and let the kids circle around me, I sat there for a couple minutes telling them stories. When I finished telling them the stories I told them I would be back in two weeks, they got excited. As we were leaving Arefu I saw a huge pack of water caravaners, I went up to the leader and paid him 500 caps to take half of that water and transport it to Vault 111. When me, Danielle and Dogmeat got back to Megaton. I went into Craterside supply and told Moira what happened.
When I left I went into my house and saw Danielle eating dinner I sat down and joined her, when we finished Dogmeat climbed onto the couch and slept there. I went up stairs and saw Danielle shut the door behind me, I'll show you how much you mean to me she said with a seductive smirk. The next day I got a note on my door from the Talon Mercenary group saying that Danielle's next target was a man named Tyler Bradshaw, when she came back she had 500 caps. The next day a knock came from my door, it was a Brotherhood of steel eyebot, it scanned me and said Andrew Patterson I have a recording for you from the Citadel, as I listened to the recording I heard Elder Lyons talking about how to rebuild the Brotherhood since the Enclave bombed us and that I'm needed at the Citadel right away. Tell him I will be there as soon as I can, the eyebot made a beeping sound then said message received then flew away. I went back into the house and grabbed my things, Danielle asked what was happening I told her me and Dogmeat are needed at the Citadel, I'll be back soon and with that I left.
When I got there I saw a couple other brotherhood soldiers and Elder Lyons standing around in what was left of the Citadel. Good you're here Elder Lyons said motioning towards me, I need you to be our sniper, what why I asked, because we looked at the marksman percentage and you scored a 99% so give me your Gauss Rifle and I will replace it with a Sniper Rifle Version of it, it shoots farther and has a variable zoom. Now that we got that out of the way we need to recruit people, do you guys any idea where to start Elder Lyons said. A rifleman raised his hand, yes Jackson Elder Lyons said. Uh sir maybe we should look in the big areas like Megaton and Tenpenny Tower, that's a good start, Jackson you take that Vertibird to Megaton the rest of you since there is no other way of transportation you will have walk there, what will you do one of the soldiers asked, I will give each of you a headset that goes on the inside of your helmet's and talk to you guys while staying here and setting Protectron's and Securitron's, Ashley is in charge since she is a Captain and most of you are privates and sergeants, move out.
We got to the Super Duper Mart and of the soldiers was making jokes about how this is gonna be a long war and how we're gonna destroy the Enclave with one huge blast, and also making jokes about Ashley since she was leading the squad. I moved through the soldiers and was right behind Ashley. Captain I have a opinion on this war, go ahead and say it to the rest of the squad she said, Well I've got a god given talent for sniping and if you could line up the leader of the Enclave with nobody else around for a couple miles, pack your bags boys the wars over. You see guys this is how you brag the right way Ashley said to the squad.
A couple hours later
We finally just made it past Megaton and ran into a group of raiders; I let the machine gunners take them out since there were only 4 or 5. A few more hours down the road Tenpenny Tower was just a few miles away. We stopped and sat down for a moment to rest, one of the soldiers was complaining about all the walking and a sergeant told him to get back in formation, and the sergeant pulled out a gun and was pointing it at the private, the private said what you gonna shoot me because I don't get back in formation, the sergeant replied no I'm gonna shoot you because I don't like you. I stood up and walked over to Ashley and said what are you gonna do, do you see this, she got up and broke up the fight. We finally made it to Tenpenny Tower; Ashley told the squad the wait here, Patterson your with me, I got up and followed her into the Tower. We went straight to the top where Mr. Tenpenny was, Ashley opened the doors to the balcony and sat down in the chair beside Mr. Tenpenny. She asked him if he would help recruit people, he said he would but on one condition which was that she'd sleep with him, she reluctantly agreed, Andrew go back and tell the squad that we're staying here tonight, Alright. We're going to have fun tonight Ashley Mr. Tenpenny said with a grin.
Later that night we were all laying on the beds outside, Jack made a joke about Ashley and Tenpenny, one of the soldiers started climbing on the edges of the tower to hear what was going on, when he got to the top he yelled back down that they were moaning, I think he finished said the soldier as he climbed back down. Alright guys we should get some sleep I said to them. He's right Jack said, we should get some sleep. A few hours later I was woken up by Ashley and the rest of the group, I looked behind a saw a few new people, come on Ashley said let's get back to the Citadel.
Once we got back they said I could go home but they would send a eyebot when they need me. I stopped by the Jefferson Memorial and went into the purification room, I looked very closely at the machinery and saw two water chips, I did research and found out that it only needed one water chip, so I stopped it for a minute, got the water chip and started it back up. I ran all the way back to Megaton and into my house and hugged Danielle. What did you find she said, look I replied I showed her the water chip. We got to get back to vault 111.
One Day Later
Okay we finally made it after waking up early this morning and walking here let's fix this. When the vault door opened the Overseer stepped out with a .44 magnum holstered on his jumpsuit, do you have the chip, we've got it. Once he got it he pulled out his magnum and pointed it at Danielle and pulled the trigger, No I screamed as I went to pull out my gun he shot me to. When I woke up I was outside I looked over and saw Danielle laying there she had a lifeless look in her eyes. I carried her body to the Citadel and then to Rivet City to a guy named Horace Pinkerton, Horace I need you to revive her, the only way I can revive her is if I make her a android, then do it how much will this cost I asked, 3000 caps, alright fine I gave him the money I was saving up to go to New Vegas. I stayed at the Weatherly Hotel for a week for free due to the fact that the brotherhood helped out Rivet City.
When I went back down there Horace gave me a book of Commands for her other than she should be like her old self. I carried her back to Megaton and placed her on the bed. I was sitting on the couch down stairs when I heard her walk down the stairs, her eyes were red, Danielle I said, she looked at me and picked me up by my shirt and pinned me against the wall, Danielle it's me Andrew remember from vault 111, Subject does not recognize Andrew, prepare for extermination, before I knew it I was on the floor getting the shit kicked out of me, Danielle stop I said, she threw another punch I caught it, but I didn't catch the other one which sent me into a unconscious state. When I woke up Danielle was looking at me with those red eyes again, she picked me up and pinned me into a corner of the wall. I didn't have a choice so I started throwing punches I got a couple good ones before I realized that when Pinkerton made her android he also had placed metal through her entire body, I looked at my hand which was red all over. I grabbed Danielle and pinned her against the wall, she tripped me and we fell, she landed on top of me, her hands were on the floor. She kept looking at me, kept getting closer and closer to my face. Danielle I said, her eyes turned blue again. Andrew she said. You're alive I replied. How she asked, I went to rivet city and the doctors revived you miraculously. She hugged me and stood up. Code Green Andrew I said. Her eyes flickered, what did you say she asked, nothing just something I thought of. She went upstairs; I pulled out the command book and made sure that I said the code that makes her not attack me anymore. Yep I did, I closed the book and went to sleep.
The next day I got a message from Elder Lyons saying that if I find anybody who wants to join let them know, I said alright. I went back in the house and asked Danielle if she wanted to join and she agreed. A few hours later we can see the Citadel is just a few miles away, I tuned into GNR and heard Three Dogg say something I never wanted to here, so here you go kids apparently the Vault Dweller died and was taken Rivet City and became an android, what Danielle snapped and looked at me. It's not all that bad Danielle, bad she said, I don't want to be a robot, think about it Danielle being a robot makes you stronger and now you have a harder time bleeding out. She picked me up of my feet and slammed me against a rock, she cocked her fist back like she was about to punch me, she looked at her fist then to me, why can't I punch you she screamed, because I said a code that makes me non hostile towards you which means you can't hit me. She let me go and stormed off, wait I yelled to her. leave me alone she yelled back. Where are you going I shouted, home she shouted. Patterson Ashley said, I turned around and saw her and the rest of the squad, yes captain I said, you've been assigned under my group again, what are we doing now I asked, well we already have a team at raven rock fighting so we're going to assist them.
