Okay, here is chapter two of Fallout Warrior. It's doing better than I thought it would, and thanks to getting the Game Of The Year edition, I can further improve on my new chapters I'm writing.

…

I walked out into the sun. It was incredibly bright. I shielded my eyes with my right hand as they slowly adjusted. When I could see clearly I gasped. There was no sign of any kind of living plants, and there were destroyed buildings everywhere. I stepped out further and my Pipboy beeped. I looked at the screen as it picked up two separate radio signals. One was called Galaxy News Radio and one was the Enclave radio signal. I didn't know anything about either one so I tapped GNR and heard static with a few words. I tapped the Enclave signal and heard patriotic sounding music.

"At least I'm not alone out here." I said quietly. I looked back up and saw a large structure made of metal. It would take a while, but I figured I could get there. I looked back at the Pipboy to see that I had something called a 'perk' point ready. A perk would give someone a superhuman ability from the nanites in the Pipboy's systems. I tapped the button and saw that I could access several different ones, but I could only select one at present.

The list was short, and each time I earned a perk point I could learn more and more different perks. First was 'Intense training'. It would make me faster, stronger, more perceptive, and a little smarter.

Next was 'Black widow'. With this, I would emit pheromones that would make men and some women react more favorably toward me, and I would be able to manipulate anyone affected.

Third was 'Cyber nurse'. I would gain a knack for figuring out injuries and computers.

Then there was 'Gun nut'. I would become more skilled with small guns and how to fix them.

'Little Leaguer' was next. I'd gain a little insight into how to swing a bat or a weapon of similar size and shape. I'd also gain a better ability to throw round objects.

After this was 'Swift learner', a special perk that helped me solve problems faster. The nanites would learn to analyze even if I wasn't doing so actively and they would alert me to anything I didn't spot on my own.

Last for my current choices was 'Thief'. I'd become more dexterous and quiet. I'd become a little swifter and I would be able to pick people's pockets.

"Wow, I never knew about this part." I said. I scrolled up and selected Black Widow. I immediately noticed a faint smell coming from my body. I looked down at the small town and then to my right to see a path. I turned to it and walked down it. I listened to a man calling himself the president. John Henry Eden he called himself. I didn't know why, but I felt like I couldn't trust his voice. I shrugged and walked down a road. I saw a small floating robot coming toward me, and it was playing the same music. I stepped aside and if floated past me harmlessly. I turned and saw a blue mailbox. I knelt in front of it after scanning it. "How do I open this?" I moved a hatch out of the way and found several items inside. Two strange vials and a box with three grenades were inside. I put the vials away and looked at the grenades. I shook my head and put them away as well. "Only if I need these things will I dare use them." I spotted a magazine labeled 'Pugilism Illustrated'. I picked it up and decided to keep it. I turned and walked across the street and saw a couple of briefcases and a footlocker. I opened the first briefcase and there was a business suit tucked inside. I put it in the Pipboy with a smile. "Cool, a free suit." I opened the second and it was empty. I stepped over to the footlocker and scanned it. I opened it and smiled. Inside was a cute little spring dress. "Oh, I bet this will come in handy." I put it in the Pipboy and stood up. I turned to see the robot floating by the way it had come from. I spotted a vending machine and jogged over to it. "What have we here?" The lock on the side was broken so I opened it and saw three bottles of bubbling liquid. I grabbed one and looked at the label. "'Nuka Cola, the drink so good it might be radioactive'." I opened it and put the bottle cap in my pocket. I took a sip and smiled. I lowered the bottle and let out a tiny burp and a giggle. "This stuff isn't half bad." I grabbed the other two and put them away. I turned and saw a woman walking into a house across the street.

"This is your president, John Henry Eden, signing off." A voice said. The robot had hovered behind me and I smiled. I jogged across the street and knocked on the door the woman had gone into. The door flew open and she gave me a tired glare.

"What do you want?" She asked. She reeked of alcohol and cigarettes. "Did Moriarity send you?" I shook my head. She scowled and her right hand moved to a pistol on her hip. "Why don't I believe you?"

"I'm sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you've seen my father." I said. She looked at me oddly. "Please, I need to find him." She shook her head.

"I ain't seen nobody around here lately except you." She said. She moved her hand away. "Do you know when he would have been around here?" I nodded.

"He would have been around here a few hours ago." I said. She shook her head.

"Sorry kid, but I didn't see anybody but raiders." She said. "Tell you what; you look like a nice kid. Do you know how to get into that vault up the hill?" I gulped.

"I just came out of there." I replied. She looked at me for a moment. "My dad escaped first, and the man in charge figured I had something to do with it. I fought my way past the security and broke out." I looked away. "I killed seven men I had known my whole life." She chuckled and I looked at her.

"So there's no way back in?" She asked. I shook my head.

"You'd be shot on sight most likely." I said. "The Overseer is going to be furious." She chuckled again.

"You seem kind of down kid." She said. I nodded. "Come on in and I'll get you a drink." I looked at her and held up my Nuka cola. "Somethin' stronger kid; you need to do some forgetting." I nodded as she stepped back. I walked in as she opened a refrigerator and pulled out two bottles of an amber liquid. She opened them as I set my bottle on a stand. "So what's your name?" She handed me one bottle and sat at the table. I sat across from her as she sipped her drink.

"Relena." I said quietly.

"I'm Silver." She said. I sipped the drink and winced. It was warm and bitter and it burned at my throat. She chuckled as I looked at the bottle. "Is this your first beer?" I nodded and set it down. "So, what was life like in the Vault? Was it a paradise?" I shook my head.

"Not really." I said. "We'd have to work our whole lives, all the way up until we die of old age. We could never leave and nobody could ever come in." She nodded while she drank her beer. "At ten we'd get one of these." I held up my Pipboy. "It's called a Pipboy. It's a personal computer that does just about everything you want it to and more." I pulled out a stimpak and she stared at it. "Nanites shrink down anything you put in the left glove and put it in a microscopic compartment." She gave an impressed whistle. "At sixteen you take the Generalized Occupational Aptitude Test to figure out what job you do for the rest of your life. I was the weapons repair technician." She nodded.

"Sounds like a pain in the ass." She said. I chuckled and grabbed the bottle gently and took another sip. "So, what weapons did you fix?" I shrugged.

"Riot batons, pistols, and I even fixed the Overseers personal ten millimeter handgun." I said. I pulled out the pistol and set it on the table. "My best friend, his daughter, stole it and gave it to me before I left." I sipped the drink and grabbed the gun and put it back. "I have no idea what I'm going to do from here. I never thought I'd ever leave the Vault, let alone leave to find my dad after killing seven people who helped raise me."

"Well, you can always head up to Megaton." She suggested. I looked at her. "That big metal structure you saw when you left. No way could you have missed it if you came out of that tunnel." I nodded. She looked at me and set her drink down. "If you do go to town, you might meet a guy named Colin Moriarity. He might ask you about me." She looked around while I reached for my pistol. Something told me she might try to hurt me. "He'll call me a slut and he'll tell you I stole his caps."

"Caps?" I asked. "Like bottle caps?" She nodded.

"I don't know what money you used in that Vault, but out here we use caps." She said. "But he'll tell you I stole his money. He'll call me a junkie. I want you to tell him that you found me dead and you couldn't find any caps on me." I looked at her.

"Are you a junkie?" I asked. "And, uh, what is a junkie?" She chuckled.

"A junkie is someone who's addicted to chems." She said. "But I'm not addicted, I can quit any time I want." She moved her right hand down. "If you don't promise that you'll tell him, I'll kill you. So you promise to tell that bastard that I'm dead." She pulled her right hand up and I saw the gun. I pulled Amata's gun from the holster and pointed it at her from below the table as she pulled back the hammer. I pulled the trigger and the shot hit her, making her groan. She pointed the gun at me and I fired again, angling it up slightly. Some of her blood flew out behind her and she leaned back, the gun dropping to the table.

"Sorry Silver, but I draw the line at lying for a drug user." I whispered. I stood up and put the gun away. I walked over to her body and she was breathing shallowly. Her hand grabbed at the gun so I summoned the switchblade. "I'm sorry." I put the blade at her throat and sliced at her jugular. She choked for a moment and her hand went limp. I grabbed the gun and checked her pockets. I pulled out three speed loaders and a handful of thirty two caliber bullets. She had several of the vials I found earlier and I groaned. In her jacket was a small box filled with bottle caps. The HUD counted four hundred in all. "You won't need these." I appropriated the items and the pistol. It was a five shot thirty two caliber revolver. I walked to her fridge and found two bottles of purified water and a bag of chips. I put them away and walked into her back room. Three boxes of thirty two caliber bullets, about thirty, were sitting on the floor near a boarded up back door. I grabbed the bullets and put them in the Pipboy. I turned and spotted a carton and a pack of cigarettes. I grabbed the pack and put them in the chest pocket of the jacket. I put the carton in the Pipboy and grabbed a lighter. I never smoked before, but I figured I may as well not rule it out. "I'll probably get killed by a man with a gun before these do any damage." I walked back into the main room and saw a knife on a cutting board. I walked over and picked it up and looked it over. It was in bad shape so I set it back down. I walked up to the door and looked outside. I looked to my right and saw a medical kit. I opened it and saw three Stimpak inside along with a few bobby pins. I grabbed them all and put them away. I grabbed my Nuka cola and drank half of it to wash the taste of the beer out of my mouth. I walked out and spotted a cabinet in a building across the street. I looked around and jogged over. "I hope I find something useful." I stepped over rubble and grabbed the handle with my free hand. I pulled but the door was locked. I finished the Cola and shook my head. "Wow, this stuff is strong." I pulled out a bobby pin and the screwdriver and put the pin in the lock. I moved it about and pushed with the screwdriver and the lock turned. "I'm getting good at this. But I hope I don't have to get much better." The lock clicked and I retrieved my tools and put them away. I opened the cabinet and saw several bottles of different kinds of alcohol. I grabbed them in turn, putting them away.

"Hey, what's going on over here?" A female voice asked. I turned to see a woman with black hair and a cute face looking at me. "I heard gunshots from around here. What happened?" I shook my head.

"A woman named Silver threatened me so I was forced to kill her." I said quickly. She nodded.

"I see." She said. "Well, at least you weren't hurt. Silver's been getting crazier than usual lately." I nodded. "Who are you anyway?" I looked her over and the Pip-lenses detected no weapons.

"My name is Relena." I said. She nodded and looked around.

"You'd best get somewhere safe." She warned. "There've been a lot of raiders around here lately." I nodded. "Good luck out here Relena."
…

I walked up to the entrance of the giant steel structure as a robot greeted me.

"Welcome, to, Megaton." It said. "Do not worry, about the, warhead. It is harmless, we promise." I looked at it and saw a gold star painted on the right side of its chest. Under this were the words 'Deputy Weld'. I looked at him as he scanned the horizon. I looked up as the two steel plates screeched and opened.

'Damn, this is loud.' I thought loudly. I looked up as they stopped. I walked up to a metal door inside and opened it. I walked through and shut it.

"Well what do you know?" A male voice said. I turned to see a man with dark skin walking toward me. He wore a brown Stetson hat and a duster jacket. On his back was an assault rifle and a gold star was pinned to his jacket. "Another visitor." He walked up to me and extended his right hand. I took it and he shook my hand with a tight grip. "Howdy, name's Lucas Simms. I'm the sheriff of this town, and the mayor when the need arises." I smiled at his enthusiasm.

"I'm glad to make your acquaintance Sheriff." I said. "I'm Relena." He chuckled as he let go of my hand.

"Friendly and well mannered; I'm sure we're going to get along just fine." He said happily. "What brings you to Megaton Relena?"

"I'm looking for my father." I said. He gave me a sympathetic look. "Did he come through here?" He thought about it and shook his head.

"I'm usually too busy to greet everyone who passes through these days." He said. "I wish I could help you. But maybe you can ask around town." He turned and pointed to a building on a set of stilts. "Moira Brown at Craterside supply might know something." He pointed to another building. "And Colin Moriarity is usually in the know." I winced at the second name. I had the caps that were supposedly stolen from him. He turned as I spotted a bomb in a crater. "What is it?"

"Why is that bomb in the center of town?" I asked. He looked at it. "Aren't you worried it might go off?" He shrugged.

"Nobody in town has the skill to disarm it." He said. "If you want to take a crack at it you're welcome to do so. Just don't blow us up." I nodded. The Pipboy had a diagnostic that would tell me exactly how to disarm it. "If you do shut it down, there's a hundred caps in it for you." I shook my head.

"I couldn't sleep at night knowing that it could go off." I said. He chuckled.

"I'll tell you what; you shut that thing down and I'll give you a place to call home." He said. I smiled.

"Thanks Sheriff." I said.

"Well, I've got to do my rounds." He said. "If you disarm the bomb or find any trouble, you come find me." I nodded as he started walking away. "Have a good day Relena."

"You too Sheriff." I replied. I decided to trade in some of my stuff, and Craterside supply sounded like a good place to go. I walked along a dirt path and down a ramp. I looked at a sign and nodded. 'This looks like the place.' I opened the door and walked in. A man looked at me while a woman in a jumpsuit adjusted her collar. She stepped behind a counter as I walked up to it.

"Hi there, I'm Moira Brown." She said cheerily. "Welcome to Craterside supply." I nodded while she looked at my Pipboy. "Say, you wouldn't happen to be from Vault 101 would you?" I nodded again. "Wow, I haven't seen anyone from that Vault in ten, maybe twelve years."

"That can't be right." I said. "Nobody is allowed to leave the Vault." She shook her head.

"That's what a lot of people say, but we get strays from around there from time to time." She said. I looked behind her and saw a Vault suit. That was proof that she wasn't lying. "So, what can I get you?" She moved a piece of paper to me and I looked it over. I looked at my Pipboy and selected several items.

"Do you buy items as well as sell?" I asked. She nodded with a smile. "Okay, then I've got some things I want to give you." I pulled out the helmet and set it down on the counter, followed by the armor, which was folded. I pulled out the alcohol from earlier and set it down and she smiled.

"It's a good thing for you I buy just about everything." She said. I smiled and set down all the paper money, ten bills in all. "Oooh, pre-war money, I haven't seen any of this stuff in a while." I looked up at her to see her smiling. "I pay for those by the bill. Ten caps apiece." I nodded as she punched some numbers on an old cash register. I looked over the list and saw a personal suit of metal armor and a metal helmet for sixty caps. I saw a check box next to it so I pulled out a pen and checked them off. I also checked off thirty shotgun shells and a sawed off shotgun, what I saw as a bargain at one hundred caps for the lot. I also selected a sniper rifle and five clips, another hundred caps. I looked at the total on the register while Moira put her arms on the counter. "Will that be all?" I nodded and put the pen down. "Okay, the items you bought is two hundred and sixty caps, but the items you gave me are worth one hundred and sixty. So the total is one hundred caps." I nodded and pulled the caps from the Pipboy and set them on the counter in a small box. She picked it up and poured the caps into a barrel beside her. She walked away and pulled the items out of a large storage drawer. I walked over and she handed me the items one by one. I kept the shotgun and put it in my right coat pocket with the shells. She led me to a tall locker and opened it. "I can't carry this thing on my own." I nodded and put my Pip-glove on it and it pulled the armor and the helmet in. "Wow, I'd heard those things were cool."

"I've had it for nine years." I said. "It's the old A-series." She nodded. "Very dependable." She giggled and nodded again.

"Well, is there anything else I can get you?" She asked. I nodded.

"Have you seen another man from the Vault?" I asked. "He has a beard and he's a bit taller than me, in his fifties?" She thought about it and nodded.

"I do recall seeing somebody like that over at Moriarity's saloon." She said. "I don't know much more." She looked at the man and then at me. "Say, how long are you going to be in town?" I shrugged.

"Maybe a day or so." I said. "If my dad is here, I might be here longer." She nodded.

"If he isn't, could you come by later tonight?" She asked. "I feel like I can talk to you about something." I nodded.

"If my dad isn't here, I'll stop by later." I said. She nodded.

"Good, I hope you find your dad then." She said happily. I nodded and turned around. "I'll see you around."
…

I walked up to the saloon door as it opened. A man walked out and looked at me.

"Do I know you?" He asked. He had a strange accent. I shook my head. "No, I know you from somewhere." He looked at my face closely and I backed up with my right hand in my pocket, loosely grabbing the grip of the shotgun. A look of comprehension appeared on his face and he drew a deep breath. "You're that wee babe that came through here almost twenty years ago." I backed away further until I met the rail.

"Who are you?" I asked. He chuckled and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"I'm Colin Moriarity." He said. "It's no surprise you don't remember me, you were just a wee babe then." I shook my head.

"I was born in Vault 101." I said. He laughed for a moment before sighing.

"Is that what you're daddy told you?" He asked. I nodded. "No, you were just a few weeks old when you're daddy brought you to my saloon. He tried day after day to get into that Vault. I guess he finally got in." I looked away.

"I don't believe you." I said. He chuckled and I looked over at him as he pulled out a picture. He handed it to me and I gasped. It was my father shaking his hand. I scanned it and it was real. I staggered and grabbed the rail behind me. "This isn't possible." I lowered my hand as he shook his head.

"He kept goin' on about how he wanted a better life for you." He said. "You know, he came by earlier. He was askin' about some guy on the radio." I looked at him intently.

"You know where he went?" I asked. He nodded.

"Aye, I know where he went." He said. I saw the familiar look of greed and sighed.

"How much will it cost?" I asked tiredly. He nodded.

"You catch on fast." He said. He held out his right hand. "One hundred caps should be enough for this, and that price is because I like you." I pulled out the caps in a small box and handed it to him. He opened it and smiled. "You're dad went to the Galaxy News Radio station. Let me see that Pipboy." I held it up and switched to the map. He pressed the screen and zoomed in and placed a marker. A small compass appeared on my HUD and an arrow went around to the South. "There's a man calling himself 'Three Dog'. He's the loon that runs the whole show. You'll have to go through the subways to get there, but you might just catch up with your old man." He smiled. "I hope you find him kid. He's a good friend and I'd like to talk to him again." I nodded as he turned around. "I'll see you around kiddo."
…

I looked at the bomb and thought about why I'd volunteered to deactivate it. I opened the hatch while several people prayed to it out of my view. I scanned it and saw the main wire responsible for the detonation sequence. I pulled out a pair of wire cutters and moved them slowly to the wire. I steadied my hand and moved the wire between the blades and quickly cut it. Seconds passed as I moved the cutters away. I put them back and sighed. A quick scan of the bomb revealed it to be disabled. I pulled out the wires and put dropped them onto the ground beside me. I closed the hatch and stepped back. I looked up the hill behind me and saw Sheriff Simms at the top. I pulled down my cap and jogged up the hill. He looked down at me as I walked up to him.

"I've taken care of the bomb." I said. "I cut the wire that fed the detonation sequence." He chuckled and looked at it.

"That's good to know." He said. He pulled out a key and tossed it to me. "You're mighty helpful Relena. You've earned that house. Talk to Moira about furniture, but it already has a bed and other basics. It also comes with a robot butler." I saluted as he walked away.

"Thanks Sheriff." I said. "If you ever need anything else, let me know." I turned and saw a house on a hill. I was told by Simms' son that this was the house meant for my reward. I jumped over a pipe and walked up a set of wooden planks. I stepped onto a metal walkway and walked up to the door. I looked at the key and inserted it into the lock. A quick turn and I opened the door. I put the key in the Pipboy and walked in. It wasn't much but it was my new home away from home. "I could get used to this."

"Welcome madam, I am Wadsworth, your personal robotic butler." A metallic voice said. I turned to my right and saw a robot that looked like Andy. Three metal tentacles reaching from a spherical body that hovered on a cylindrical thruster module that ran on continually renewing compressed air. Three metal lights held small cameras that fed him data. A circular saw sat on one tentacle, while another had a flamethrower attachment, and a third with a pincer. "Is there anything I can get you mistress?" I shook my head.

"I'm fine for now Wadsworth." I said. "I just came in to check out my new house." He bowed his front sensor and hovered up the stairs to the upper floor. I walked over to a table and set down the pistol Amata gave me. Butch gave me his jacket and wanted me to remember where I came from, so I wanted to remember what I had left behind. I pulled out my repair kit and grabbed a small carving tool. I turned the pistol and gently carved a small 'A' onto the side. I etched in each letter of her name on one side, and then on the opposite. I used another tool to smooth out the excess metal and polished the entire pistol. "This is for you Amata. This pistol represents everything I was forced to leave behind." I put my kit back and picked up the weapon tenderly. "If I have to use this, I'll think of you." I put it back in the holster and stood up. I looked at the second pistol and pulled it out with my left hand. I put it away and pulled out the shotgun. I undid the catch and lowered the barrels. I pulled out two shells and loaded them carefully and shut the barrels. I put it in the left holster and sighed. "All for you Amata. I'll come back soon." I turned around and saw Wadsworth watching me. "I'm going out for a little while Wadsworth. I'll be back."

I walked out the front door and shut the door and locked it again, just for the sake of being safe.
…

I walked up to Craterside supply and looked around. I shrugged and knocked on the door. I had my Tunnel Snake outfit and my hair was tied up and under my hat. The door clicked and I heard someone moving away.

"Come in." Moira called. I opened the door and walked in. It was dark but my Pip-lenses adjusted. Moira was standing by the light switch. I shut the door and she turned on the light. "I'm glad you came. But that means you didn't find your dad doesn't it?" I nodded as she pulled up a chair and sat with her hands on her lap. "Pull up a chair." I nodded and grabbed a nearby chair and set it with its back to her. I sat down with my legs apart and my arms on the top of the back. "Would it be okay if I asked you a personal question?"

"Sure Moira." I said. "I figured you might want to talk." She nodded and looked at me intently.

"Did the Vault have any strict policies about love?" She asked. "Like could girls only be with boys or could anyone be with anyone?" I thought about it and shrugged.

"I don't know." I replied. "I've never known anyone like that, but I don't think there were any regulations against same sex relationships." She nodded.

"What do you think about that?" She asked. My lenses zoomed in to her face and I saw that she was sweating. I shrugged.

"Well, to be honest I've never felt anything for any boys in the Vault." I said. "The only ones I liked were just friends." She nodded and gulped.

"So you aren't interested in boys?" She asked. I shrugged again.

"Not really." I replied. "What about you?" She gulped.

"I've never been in any relationship." She said quietly. "I've always been afraid that I'd get hurt." She moved her hands slightly. "But there's something about you. I don't know what it is, but I just want to get to know you." She gulped. "Not like, personally, but, well." She blushed. "Would you have sex with me?" I gulped. She did have a pretty face, and her body was kind of nice.

"I don't know Moira." I said quietly. She was rubbing her thighs together slowly. "Are you sure about this?" I was smiling inwardly. My Black Widow perk was working well. If I worked my charm properly, I figured I could get her to give me something valuable. I thought against it as she nodded. "Well, do you know where to start?" She stood up and walked through a doorway. I stood up and followed her. I walked through the doorway and saw her sitting on her bed.

"Do you know what we do?" She asked. I nodded.

"I've never done it before." I said. "But I, well, I like to play with myself. I figure we could do that to each other." She blushed and nodded. I walked over to her and took off my cap and set it on her dresser. I sat down beside her and put my right hand on her left thigh. She looked at me and blushed deeper. I moved in and kissed her cheek. She looked down and put her left hand on my right knee while I moved my right hand up to her stomach. She nodded and I started undoing buttons on her jumpsuit while she undid the button on my jeans. "I'm a bit nervous Moira." She nodded. I moved my hand down her body and undid the buttons as she unzipped my pants. I reached the last button and she shrugged out of the top of the jumpsuit. Her skin was slightly pale, but it worked for her. I slipped out of my shoes and socks while she undid my belt. After she undid the belt enough I slid out of my pants and shrugged off my jacket. She ran her left hand across my right thigh and I sighed.

"Wow, you're skin is so soft." She said quietly. I smiled as she slipped out of her jumpsuit. I looked to see that she wore no pants under the suit. She blushed as I rubbed her left leg gently. "I'm so nervous about this."

"We can stop any time Moira." I said. She shook her head and moved her hands to her panties waistband. I smiled as she pulled them away with a blush. I unbuttoned my top slowly as she pulled hers over her head. She wore a small pink bra with little red hearts. I smiled as I set my shirt on the bed. She looked at me and blushed. I wore no bra or panties and she smiled.

"You don't wear underwear?" She asked. I smiled and giggled.

"I find them a little confining." I said. She blushed deeper and undid her bra. She slid it off and I smiled. Her breasts weren't big, but they were kind of cute. She set the bra down and looked at my body. "So, shall we?" She nodded and I pushed her gently onto her back.
