*3 hours later in Novac*
John and Liz, had succesfully got into Novac with no trouble, through they had an slave who wouldnt shut up or stand still in Liz's opinion. They drag her up the stairs and into their room they had bought a few days earlier, and let her go. She was about to punch them, but Liz quickly took out the detonator for her bomb collar which made their slave to stand still.
"Fine what do you Legion fucks want with me?" She asked in a demanding voice.
"Ok first of, we are not Legion" John said trying to calm her down.
"Like hell, Then why were you kissing his ass then?" She asked not beliving what he sais.
"I had to make him belive i was turned Legion, if i didnt then i would proberly be killed, Liz here would be surrounded by them, and you would have your head on a spike proberly after this Legate raped you" John explained to the angry redheaded woman.
"You really think that i would kneel infront of the coward cause Mr Undercover 'put me in my place'" Liz told her.
"I think that your his bitch" The slave said. Liz hold the slave's head in one hand and ready to slash her with her other.
"Liz, stop we are not going to kill her" John told her. Liz hesitated for a moment and let go of her.
"Fine, but if she sais im your bitch one more time, im going to carve my name on her ass" Liz said in anger of not getting to slice her. John went over to their slave and kneeled beside her and were disarming the collar.
"We do not hold slaves, so we are going to let you go, if you promise not to report us to the NCR" He told her, as he was finish disarming her collar. He took it off her and threw it on the floor for Liz to take out Lucky and shoot it to pieces.
"And if i report you?" The woman asked
"Then i hunt you down and set an example of you!" Liz threaten her.
"Ok if your not Legion, and are worried to be reported to the NCR, who are you guys then working for?" The woman asked confused. John and Liz looked at each other and nodded.
"Ok long story short, House hired us to do his work to take over Vegas" Liz explained while reloading.
"Wait, are you telling me you guys are working for the ghost of New Vegas? Thats bullshit how can you prove it?" She demanded
"What eles would we be doing under Caeser's fort drunkie?" Liz mocked her
"I dont know miss Deathclaw, care to explain" She said while looking at Liz.
"We activated House's army down there. They are going to ensure him power after the battle for Hoover dam" He explained
"And what do you guys get out of this?" She asked
"Every luxury the Lucky 38 can give us. Maybe i get my own securitron" Liz said with hope in her voice.
"So now that you know and are free to go, what will you do then?" John asked.
"Well, i was leaving the outpost since it got to dull, and embty of whiskey. But i did not know what to do until the Legion caught me." She said. Liz eyed the woman from top to bottom and asked
"Ya any good in a fight?"
"Im crackshot with a rifle, through i perfer handling a shotgun then a rifle. Im good with throwing dynamites" She told them. Liz looked at John with an approving look on her.
"Well you could join us" He suggested.
"Giving your options you got, i say its the best one you got" Liz supported it. The woman gave it some thought and said
"Alright im game, but i need a gun, and whiskey" She said. John then took out his shotgun and desert eagle and hand it over to her.
"You name miss?" He asked
"Rose of Sharon Cassidy a.k.a Whiskey Rose or better known and called as Cass. And what are you going to do when we run into trouble? Break your arms at them?" She asked
He took out That thing and showed it to her. She seemed amazed it could use machine gun bullets instead of regular pistol ammo.
"Aha. This is going to be interresting" Cass said
*Meanwhile at Hoover dam*
Ben and Reilly returned to Colonel Moore's office at night for reporting.
"Ma'am, Mr House is out of the picture" Reilly reported followed by Ben
"We found out that he has agents working for him. Should we do anything about it?" Ben asked.
"Well we cut off the head of the snake, so they shouldnt be a priority problem. But your welcome to end them" Moore told them. Reilly looked around and notice that Jaden and Boone wernt there.
"Where are Jaden and Boone?" She asked
"They asked if their were any way they could help, so i sent them to camp golf. Its there we send the most useless soldiers to be, along its also there one of our veteran rangers are. The reason i sent them there, is cause we got a group called 'the mitfits' are there. They are the most lazy and useless soldiers i ever heard of. Only one of them are doing an effort to be a soldier, but the rest of her squad are dragging her down" Moore told them.
"Should we head over and help?" Reilly asked, but the colonel just shook her head and said
"No, i think they got it covered. I got report over radio that they should return here by tomorrow, and thats when i give you, your next assignment" She told them and waved them off.
*At Camp Golf*
Jaden and Boone were helping them at shooting practice. They took explosive first since they figure that would be the easiest to start with. The Mistfits stood there and lined their shots as their instructors orded them around.
"Ok Point-Dexter, you try and hit the first target to your right" Jaden orded them. Boone wernt much for instructing so he opservered and whispered to Jaden what their faults are and how to improve. Point-Dexter just groaned and said
"Listen, is this really neccasary? we all know that the legion wont attack Camp Golf, so we might as well stop this waste of time" He complained. Jaden just looked at him with an frustrated look on her face.
"You think this is easy and not neccasary to learn do ya?" She asked him
"Yeah" He said in a matter of fact kind of attitude. Instead of going drill sargent on his ass (Sorry) she just smiled and said.
"Ok you seem like a smart guy, so lets make a deal. We get 3 shots at a target, if you hit it all 3 times, or hit more of them then me. Then you can sit on your ass and wait for the Legion to make you their bitch. But if i hit the target 3 times, or more then you. Then you are going to hold your rifle above your head with both hands while standing on one leg. Deal?" She offered the smartass.
"Dont do it Point-dexter, just continue the practice" Mags told him, through she love to see him get his ass handed.
"Deal then" He said and line up his shots. 1st shot missed misserable. The 2nd shot hit the dummy's gut, and the 3rd swift right pass the dummy's leg, but enough to make a riff on the side.
"2 out of 3 should be enough" He said
"Wait you only hit 1, and even that was a lousy shot since the enemy would likely use armor" Jaden told him.
"It still counts and so does the last one, i injured its leg" He pointed out. Jaden just clapped mockingly at him and said
"Oh Bravo, now we know who to call when the dummys are starting an revolution"
The rest of the mistfits chuckled by that statement, even Boone had a small grin on his face. Point-Dexter was the only one who did not find it funny at all.
"Laugh it all you want. Ok miss instructor, i see you do better. But remember its still 2 out of 3 i hit!" He said.
"Yeah yeah, just quit your bitching and see how a real marksman do things" She said and took his service rifle. She crouched and took aim and took her shots. 1st one hit the dummy's right eye. The next shot hit it in the dummy's right eye. She looked back at Point-Dexter who were sweating a bit.
"Im being nice today so i tell you this, we can stop now and pretend this never happen, or i could take my last shot. If i hit you know what happens, if i miss then you get your will" She offered.
"Lucky shots, take the last one" He said confident. She just sighed and took the last shot without even looking down her sight and hit it between its missing eyes. Point-Dexter just stood their in awe, as his team mates were laughing their ass off. Jaden took out the mag and put a fresh one in it and handed him the rifle.
"Our deal smartass" She said with a smile of a devil.
"Cant we just find a diffrent solution?" He asked almost begged.
"Nope, so if you dont stand as i requested you to do, then Boone here will take out his sidearm and have a little dance with you" Jaden warned the Private who looked at Boone.
"Your not serious" He said, until a shot from a 9 mm pistol was heard. It hit the ground right between his feets, making him jump in shock and put his rifle above his head with both hands and standing on one leg. He began to sweat more, cause he had Boone pointing at his feet.
After 1 hour of standing on one feet, he finally got to stand down. When they orded him to shoot a new dummy, he hit it once in the head and one of the left leg.
"Well its and improvenment" Boone said to Jaden
"Lets hope they are ready for the upcoming battle. We should head to Moore tomorrow for a new assignment" Jaden told him. He just nodded and went inside a available tent to rest.
*The day after, at Hoover dam*
All of the team members were gathered outside the colonel's office and checked if anyone was missing. After Reilly did a count, they entered.
"Ready for your new assignment?" Moore asked them, they all nodded.
"Good. As you know the BOS are one of our longest living enemies. Through we defeated them at Helios one, we got reports that they still are in this region, hiding somewhere. We have gone through every possible location and determinated that they are most likely holed up in some pre war military bunkers in the fenced area of hidden valley. Fighting them at Helios one with strength proved very challenging, so dont fight them head on, try and find a way to destroy their bunker from the outside" Moore informed them.
Reilly had secound thoughts and the colonel could see it.
"Is there a problem Reilly?" Moore asked
"Just that back in DC, they arnt as bad as people here think they are. Over there they kinda protect the entire region" Reilly told her CO.
"You saying that they have establish an goverment?" Moore asked
"Oh no, they just protect the region from the larger threat like the enclave and super mutants, plus they deliver clean free water to the settlements. They let outsiders to join them and they have grown stronger since their win over the enclave" Reilly explained. Moore looked trouble by the new info she just recived.
"Well seems like we got a new goal after Vegas. To show the people of the wasteland that we will bring back the old world values, then we must gain control over the capitol. Maybe use it as a main office for the president and use the pre war military building, the pentagon as a main of military operation" Moore told them.
"Wait how are you going to deal with the BOS station there?" Reilly asked
"Well they decide if they wanna leave peacefully, or end up as their buddies like at helios one" Moore told her. She then dismissed them. When they stepped outside they began to wonder if getting the NCR to power is a good idea.
"The people of the capitol wasteland, already like with how things have gone. If NCR decides to conquer that region, many people will die since they like their independence" Jaden said.
"We just gonna trust the NCR are going to make things better in the wasteland" Reilly said as they began to move out.
*Meanwhile 3 hours later*
John, Liz and Cass have made it to the lucky 38. They dropped Cass off on the suite floor, and proceded to the penthouse floor. When John and Liz arrived and stepped out of the elavator, they notice that Mr House's screen were completly black. Liz was the first one to see the room behind the wall next to the terminal. They saw an elavator entrance and entered it.
"Where you think it leads us?" John asked
"Better not be filled with idiots" Liz said
"I dont think anyone is down there" John told her
"Just shut up dumbass" She said. The elavator stopped and they exited it. They notice someone strapped to a board right ahead. They approach the figure and saw it was an fragile really old human, with tupes on him. Liz took out Lucky, and poked its head.
"Who ya think it is?" She asked John.
"Im... House!" The man weezed. Liz backed up a bit, little surprised and pointed her gun at him. John who also had That thing out in his hand, lowered Liz's arm.
"What happen?" John asked
"NCR... happen... infiltrated... in here" He said
"Wait a minute, NCR personal arnt allowed inside the casino" Liz pointed out
"It was... Ben... Victor dug him up... still thought... he was with me!" He said
"Wait was he the uninvited guest from yesterday?" Liz asked
"He wasnt alone... a red headed... was with him" He told them
"Reilly! That bitch!" Liz yelled and kicked the railling next to her
"You have... to do... 2 favors" He said
"And what is that?" John asked with a raised brow
"First of... Kill me... im dead by... years end...secound... you 2 have... to take over... my plans" He managed to tell them
"You mean us taking over Vegas?" Liz asked in awe
"Yes... fooled the Legion... now NCR... make sure... no Legion...no NCR... get New Vegas!" He told them. They both pointed their pistols at him and John said
"It will be done"
"Thank you" Was House's last words as Liz and John open fire at him, embtying their guns on him. After they shot him, John just reloaded his gun and walked over to the terminal to put House inside his pod, to serve as his grave. Liz still stood there, with her unloaded pistol in hand and were still in awe.
"His last wish, was us to take over Vegas!" She squealed and ran over to John to jump on him and land on him as he falled backwards on the metal floor.
"We are going to be the Queen and King of Vegas!" She said in joy.
"Now its we and not you" He said with a slight smile.
"Yeah, you make sure everything is running good" She said
"And you?" He asked
"Doing what a Queen can do best. Do whatever she wants and let her man do the work" She answered
"Figueres" He said
