Hi, im back. Sorry for keeping those who readed this story waiting and thinking that i gave up on this. To tell you the truth, i kind of did, with the other stories i was working with and the number of reviews i got per chapter. I still appriciate those who keept on reviewing and hope they do in the near future.
On Veronica's and John's way back, they began to talk about what Benny told them. "All im saying is, that we give his idea a try. The Brotherhood might get a chance to live a little longer" Veronica pleaded, to make John consider the idea.
"I can see why you are concerned, but Mr House gave us shelter and a chance to make this place look like in its pre-war glory" John argued
"Do you know how it looked?" Veronica asked curiously
"While grewing up in the vault, we were showed films about some of the most noteable places their was in the U.S. This city was way bigger and more brightfull at night, but it had a diffrent name through" John told the scribe, knowing she found it interresting
"what was it then" She asked curiously again.
"Las Vegas" He answered
"mmmmmm, Las Vegas, New Vegas. i like Las better" Veronica said with her usually cheerful atitude.
John chuckle a little, forgetting what they started this conversation with. As they entered the elevator and rided up to the suite area, since Veronica was not allowed to meet Mr House. As the elevator open, they saw that the door for the main room had claw scratches on it. Veronica got into her room while John quickly got inside the main room and saw that Liz was more tense then a fiend on jet mixed with pshyco.
"Liz, what is the matter with you" John told her, trying to make some sense out of her.
Liz just got up to him and said angrily "I just got the urge to, to rip something to shreds with my bare hands" and suddenly eyed John
he notice this and quickly tried to reach the door, but it was to late. Liz jump on his back, making him fall face down on the floor.
Outside the room stood Veronica, in her scribe clothes and asked Viktor "Um do you know whats wrong with her?"
"Well arcording to the head huncho's information on the deathclaws, this is a sign of a deathclaw's first mating season" he answered
Veronica's eyes looked wide and surprised "but there is not much mating over it, its a ritural that the female goes a little nuttie" Viktor clearified
"So you are telling me, instead of mating, Liz is making sure that John was never born right?" she asked
"yep" Viktor asnwered simple
Veronica just sighed and said "well, looks like i dont get to have much sleept tonight" and walked into her room
Meanwhile, Ben had regroup with the others, and were making their way to Vault 19.
On their way there Jaden yet again tried to flirt with boone. "So Boone, other then killing legion, what eles you do for fun?" she asked
"cleaning my rifle" he said in his usually tone.
"Well, dont you do anything eles, like going out" she asked
he just looked at her and said "this conversation is over" and kept walking
after a few hours of walking, they found the location of the vault, but could not find the entrance.
"Ben you sure, your pip-boy works?" Reilly asked
"positive, maybe we should look for a secret entrance" he suggested
after doing some searching, Jaden, found a hole that lead to the Vault. "hey guys i found it" she yelled
As they all gather at the hole, Jaden climped down first, making sure no one was there. Reilly was next, and then Ben and Boone. They now stood infront of the giant steel door with the number 19 on it
"so how do we open it" Boone asked
Ben saw the terminal to the right of the door and began working on it "seems like the powder gangers manage to deleted the password system" he informed them
"they might have thought no one was gonna remember the password and hoped no one could find this entrance" Reilly added
Ben then pull a small leaver on the terminal, making the door open.
"ok people get ready, Ben and i infront, Jaden and Boone, you got our backs covered" Reilly orded them
the next morning, at the Lucky 38
Veronica jawned and stretch her arms, and began to walk into the dinning room. She stopped at the door to the main room, since her curiosity always got the better of her, she decided to see what have happen in there.
She open the door and saw that the room was intact except for some scratching on the walls. She saw that Liz was sleeping face down on the bed, and then saw a John, laying on the floor sideways, who had seen better days. His clothes was rip off and he had scratches on his torso and back.
Veronica just closed the door and went to get breakfeast.
meanwhile at the camp mccarran, Reilly's team choosed to spend the night their after their mission in vault 19 was complete. Ben and Reilly sleept in each of their tents, but Jaden manage to sleep in the same tent as Boone. When he woked up, he was not so pleased that this girl kept trying.
30 minutes later, Reilly informed colonel Hsu about their mission and gave them permission to take the monorail as trasport to the strip.
(sorry for jumping from place to place) Meanwhile in the Lucky 38, John woke up after the wild night with Liz. He got his merc cruiser outfit on since he did not want to use the green ranger armor anymore, and went to see the boss.
"i trust that your misson was a succes?" Mr house asked
John nodded and showed him the chip
"excellent, the dispose of Benny was of course a optional choice but seems like it worked" House said
John just got confused and said "wait, i let Benny live"
"hm seems like someone went after him after you got the chip from him. Well that is not importen now, what is importen is that i show you what this can do." Mr House said and began to show a video film of the demonstration of the upgraded securitrons
When the little film ended, Mr House was ready for the new orders "now only we need is to activate the other securitrons, which unfortunately is under the fortification hill." he said
"wait, thats Caeser's fort" John said
"yes, you have to sneak inside the fort and get inside the underground vault, of a building inside the fort. Getting there wont be easy" House said
"acturly, it is. After i left the tops, one of Caesers agents confronted me and gave me this mark" he holds up the mark "it grants me acces to get to the fort" John said
"then it is settle, get to the fort and head down to the underground vault, you will get furhter instruction their" House orded.
John then took the elevator down to the suite floor, to tell the girls about the next mission.
When he reached the floor, he saw that Liz was up. Instead of the green armor, she now wears a merc charmer outfit with a black leather cowboys hat on.
"Hey John whats up" she said like nothing happen
"um Liz, you do remember what happen last night right?" he asked a little uncertain
Liz thought for a moment and said "no. Why ya asking?"
Veronica then came in the picture "you just made him your own scratching toy" she said
"really?" Liz asked confused "cause if i did, i would remember it" she clearified
"well, arcording to Mr House's network, that it was mating season, for deathclaws, where the female ones kinda goes a little nuts on their men" Veronica said
Liz just looked over at John, who just nodded and showed her the cuts he got from her
"wow, im awesome then, going so crazy i dont even remember it" Liz said smiling
"good that you enjoying it. But i got our next mission from House, we are about to activate his securitron army, under the legion fort" he said
"Wait a minute. You want us to go over to a camp full of men who likes to treat women as slaves, punching bags and sex objects, just to turn on some robot toys for a computer?" Liz asked
John nodded and said "kinda, maybe you can prove that women can fight too." he said
"naa, i dont want to prove that to them, i just want to get in a fight with a legion soldier while his friends watches as he gets his ass kicked" Liz smiled evily
"Well, i think im gonna stay around Vegas for a moment" Veronica said
"ok then. But we dont have to go there right away" he said to Liz who nodded
"you bet, i wanna fight something. Been to long i killed anything" Liz complained
after that, Liz and John went outside and headed to outer vegas. Liz said that she went to something called the thorn. John said he meet up with her after he bought a new gun from the gun runners.
At the gun runners shop John saw on the shelves behind the vendertron and said "i take that rifle" and pointed at the trail combine "and i take 2 9mm pistols" he added. After he payed, he holstered his new rifle on his bag and his 2 pistols on his hips.
At the embassy
"good work, taking out those poweder gangers. they would made life for ncr citizens a living hell if they roamed out freely" Crokker told them.
"glad to help. Whats next?" Ben asked
"well colonel Moore got something for ya. She heard about your squard doings, so she want to put you guys to good use. She is in her office at hoover dam, if you dont know where Hoover dam is, then just go to boulder city and follow the signs that sais hoover dam on it" the ampassodor told them
They all nodded and walked outside of the office and Boone began to talk "If Moore wants us, then is something bigger then what we just did. Moore is known for not looking for an diplomatic solution. She rather send out a team of Veteran rangers to do he job" he said
"And let me guess, for doing this, we need to be completly commited to the NCR?" Jaden asked
Boone nodded
"is there a chance we get veteran ranger armor?" Ben asked
"maybe, depends on how well we do it and if it pleases her" Boone said
"ok then lets move" Reilly said
meanwhile somewhere near west side, John looked for the thorn and finally found it.
he climbed down the sewer hull and found his way to the arena. He did not see Liz anywhere is he decided to ask one of the people there
"hello, have you seen a girl here with a black leather hat and yellow eyes?" he asked an women with red hair and a hunting shotgun on her back
"you mean Liz? yes a excellent hunter, she is in the arena now" she said
John looked down to see that Liz was fighting off 1 deathclaw left out of 5. She played with it for some time to amuse the audience. When she was done with that, she took one small knife and throw it in the eye of the deathclaw, making it scream of pain. Then took out Jingwei's sword and stab it in the gut, and the between the 2 missing eyes.
As the deathclaw fall, she was bowing to the applause she got. She then spots John.
"hey their boss, wanna join" she asked
"whos the next creaturse she is gonna fight?" he asked the red headed women.
"cazadors, deadly critters with poison that can kill you if do not have any antidote" she said
"ya got any antidotes right?" he asked concerned
"yes but we give it to them after they win, no point and fun in giving it them while they fight" she said
after that, the gate opens and out comes 6 cazadors who quickly surrounds Liz.
"god dammit" John said and ran down to the entrance of the arena.
Liz swung her sword at those who came near her, since they saw the electric sword. As they all together fly against Liz with their stingers first, she dock and jumped to the side up near a wall, a good distance away from them. But in her haste, she saw that she drop her sword that was under the critters now. The bugs saw this and slowly flew towards her, and She could not do so much with just her small knifes and her anit materiel rifle. "and this, is not happening" she said to herself.
She then hears the gate open and out comes small arms fire out agains the cazadors. She crowled to see who it was and turned out to be John, wielding both of his 9 mm's and fired at the bugs wings
As he shot down all the bugs, Liz could take her sword and finish them off by stab them in the middle of theie bodys
after the fight, Liz decided it was enough for today. "a nice thank you would be in order" he told Liz
"a nice shut the fuck up would be in order too" Liz countered
After Liz got her money for the winning's, she followed John out
"so anywhere you wanna go now?" he asked her
"i wanna meet the khans, they are not far from here" she said
John have never heard of them before so he nodded and went with her.
Meanwhile, back at mccarran. Reilly's group made it back from hoover dam and got their new order's and got new armor as a sign of what they have done so far and for future mission. Their new order's was to go to red rock canyon and get rid of the great Khans. And their new armor was no other then the veteran rangers armor. Boone was a little disapointed that they already got it, but did not complain. They all got their own names on it and all.
