A few days passed since she and locals made first contract, thankfully any sort of trouble was prevented. Because villagers were either amazed or feared from her, or both. she did not know or cared, as long as they did not get her way. So she mingled with villagers while being friendly but also being strict and dominating too. They had to learn their place after Think Tank occupies this place after all. She also had to earn their trust to bring those two psykers alive and safe to the Think Tank. Especially children were amazed with her vertibird and her companions. Rex seemed to enjoy the attention and their pettings even though he almost attacked the Cato because of his ridiculous hat. Well she couldn't blame him, Rex hated the hats, and Cato's ridiculous hat must have looked even more offending for him. After she explained Rex's hatred for hats, Cato and villagers took off their hats when Rex was around. ED-E too enjoyed the attention, as he beeped happily as that girl with blue hair(who was Courier learned that she was one of her targets) Lelei examined and petted him.

(WILD WASTELAND)DEADPOOL: AWW THAT'S CUTE!

Apparently there.. wait a minute, Deadpool!? what are you doing in here?

DEADPOOL: OH I JUST HEARD SOMEONE ELSE WAS WRITING ANOTHER GATE CROSSOVER FANFIC WHERE SADERANS GETTING XEELEESTOMPED I COULDN'T MISS THAT NOW WOULD I? DON'T YOU WORRY I'M GOING HOW! ENTERTAIN US WOULD YOU?

Umm okay thank you Deadpool, I will try, ehm let's return to the story... wher was I? oh yes...

Apparently there were already rumors spread about around the village about the battle of Alnus Hill, as she overheard some conversations of villagers with her enchanced senses. ''Lady of the Ghosts and Golems'', she heard a few of them rumoring about her. Their tones were almost worshipful. Well her advanced technology must have been like... magic to the natives of this world. Even her most basic tools. People of this world had no context or reference for the most basic technologies or even sciences a simple wastelander would know. So it made sense someone like her would be seem like ''God-like'' for these people. She definitely would be foolish to not use this to her advantage. Intimate them to be submissive and fearful, perfect and steady supply of farm of test subjects for the Think Tank.

So that what she would do, after she secured those two psykers, right now she was sitting with Lelei and having conversation. She was a curious girl that one, Lelei asked her about her weapons, vertibird, ED-E and Rex, She had to answer Lelei and her master carefully how nothing about courier's equipment or companions were ''magical'' but rather scientific, which meant they were made with by understanding of the laws of universe. This seemed to impressed them even more.(Of course Courier told this only to them to earn their trust by being friendly, rest of the villagers did not need to know that).

She in turn asked how their magic worked and wanted to demonstrate it, then much to her astonishment, Lelei summoned bunch of wind and threw Cato away when he attempted to make a stupid joke about her sister. Later on Cato literally levitaded a horse-cart and moved it around. Needless to say Courier was very interested with how all of this worked, and there was no doubt in her mind that Elijah and Think Tank would be VERY interested with it as well, so she asked more about it, and learned two very important things. One: Psyker warped reality to make ''magic'' instead of manipulating it like science, which was impressive Two: they were genetic, which meant you had to have specific genes to be a psyker, and because of this they were very rare.

But these people... they had no understanding of genetics, Think Tank, specifically Borous and Dala could manipulate DNA with genetic modification like playing mix and match. As they created lobotomites, cazador, nighstalkers, cazadorclaws and many more biologic terrors currently plagues mojave and Big Empty labs. Sure it was not effective as guns but it was still impressive and could be improved. If she could brought them and few more to Think Tank, they would crack it open their genes and provide this power to their creations, or themselves, and others... if they...

''So what did you said you were doing here again, just scouting right?'' Her line of thought was interrupted when Lelei asked her another question.

They were sitting around a table in their house, Cato was busy with examining a 45. pistol she has given him, it was a gift of Joshua and she definitely would take it back. While Rex and ED-E were playing with bunch of kids outside.

''Mostly yes but not just scouting, as you know I'm actually a courier , Saderan Empire foolishly attacked us, so I was one of the scouts to learn more about far away lands and it's people, we were hoping that people would join us against the tyranny of Saderans'' She perfectly lied to her, Lelei was definitely a smart girl. So she had to use her speech skills now.

Thankfully Lelei seemed to believe her since she nodded.

''Your lands must be very dangerous and advanced if you have to keep so many dangerous weapons, those 'guns' and 'energy weapons'' are very terrifying if not impressive'' Lelei admitted

Courier couldn't help but to smile, oh she was just so smart for a primitive land, she almost regretted that Lelei most likely was going to be lobotomized.

''Oh you have no idea... let's just say our former empire has fallen, and we are rebuilding it to avoid former mistakes that brought our former empire to it's knees'' Six told her as she drinked the tea, Lelei prepared for them.

This time Lelei didn't seemed to understand what Courier meant as she did not provide many details, but stood silent as she seemed to be thoughtful.

''So... Lelei'' Courier began ''As you know our lands don't have any magic, I already learned many things thanks to you in recent days, and thank you for providing a room for me and my companions, You wouldn't happen to know any other mages aren't you? More we know the better'' Courier said, she couldn't just ask them to come with her, it could be suspicious.

''Well, Elves and Apostles have unique magic, you really don't have them in your lands?'' Lelei asked with a surprised tone.

Apostle? She knew the Elves, she also knew what apostle meant from the absorbed knowledge of the mind of prisoners, each of them basically worshipped the apostles, they looked at them in awe and fear. if not in envy, but she just dismissed it as supersititon.

''No, as far as I know, which is why I asked you, thank you for your answer'' Courier told her with a smile, and she took another sip of the tea, she had to admit it was tasty.

Lelei seemed amazed that Courier's lands did not have any apostle or elves, from her surprise, Courier can tell these so-called apostles were not just supersititon, could it be perhaps these 'gods'' are actually just powerful psyker who pretends to be gods for these primitives, and their 'apostles' are their psyker enforcers who serves them for their benefit? it made sense for her. She too preferred to let natives think her as ''god-like'' to make them perfect test subject after all.

''Amazing, simply amazing'' Cato suddenly interrupted them with her pistol in his hands.

''This 'pistol' truly works by firing a sharp object called bullets so fast that it results in it penetrating any softer material, especially flesh. The energy is then dissipated along the wound channel formed by the passage of the bullet. I know you explanied the basics, but I wanted to learn it in detail, thank you for teaching me how to use it'' Cato told her, as he gave the pistol back to her, she took the pistol and put it back to the holster.

''Your empire is so advanced they can create such marvels, and to think this is considered simple by your standarts, you wouldn't one day bring us there wouldn't you? Cato asked in a hopeful tone. Completely unaware what she planned for him.

Courier had to use all of her willpower to prevent an evil smile appearing on her face.

She waited for a moment like this for a loooong time.

Tyuule secretly listened the Council Talk with her enchanced hearing... it seemed Empire suffered a great defeat at the hands of the ''necromancer heretics''

Tyuule was a warrior bunny,Before the War against the Warrior Bunnies, Tyuule was an honorable and brave warrior queen who geniuely cared deeply for her people. After the war and many years of torture and pain, she was now completely changed

She has given herself to Zorzal to spare her people, she had to endure all of the humiliation and rape, but believed that it worth it, her people was safe, it was worth it.

Only to learn later that Zorzal lied to her, Zorzal arranged for his forces to wipe out the Warrior Bunnies anyway, enslaving those who surrendered and killing those who did not. even worse, he also arranged the information as to make the Warrior Bunnies believe Tyuule sold them out to save herself. And now, her own people branded her a traitor and vowed to kill her in revenge.

She did not know if the Empire truly fought against heretics, but she really did not cared, even if the enemy were heretics against the gods, if they could provide her vengeance, she didn't give a damn. Did gods helped her or her people when they were wiped out? Did the gods helped her when that filth Zorzal lied, enslaved and raped her over and over again? No they didn't

So why she should give a damn about them? Even if that red cloud and undead she heard about covered the whole world, she was going to get her vengeance, from The Empire from the Zorzal. One way or another, she wanted to watch them burn. Even if that meant world had to burn with them as well.

You just wait a little more ''Master'' She thought to herself.

A dozen men sit around the fire in the night sky, they were the smart ones because they deserted the Saderan army after it was obvious that horrors beyond the Gate would kill them all. So all of them escaped and became bandits instead, and they had to admit it was very profitable, already they raided bunch of caravans and looted them for their riches. Sometimes they would end up ''lucky'' and find women too, needless to say those women did not lived long after they had their fun.

''Anyone know a target we can hit? You know the drill, lightly defended, with lots of riches and of course...'' he licked his lips ''with women'' Their leader asked to his men

''Koda Village is perfect for hit, especially since we gained more men after the absolute defeat of vassal armies, many men from reinforcements did the smart thing and joined us, with them it should be more than enough to take over it'' A man with an eyepatch told his leader.

''What about those two mages? We have enough men to kill them, but those mages can give us huge casulties, our men won't attack anywhere if there is too much risk'' Another of the bandits told his comrades.

''Which is why first we will first secretly steal a few clothes from the village, send few of our disguised men, kill those two, then rest of us will arrive to occupy the village'' A smart looking bandit with clean face explained his plan.

Other bandits seemed to agree with the idea, as their faces formed a cold grin.

''Perhaps we can even kill the local noble! take it over for ourselves!'' bandit with dirty beard shouted them in delight.

Their leader now grinned too ''From a bandit to a noble... I love the idea...''

Unbeknownst to them, Rory Mercury, Apostle of Emroy secretly listened their conversation with her apostle senses, she licked her lips, it seems she found her prey tonight.

She moved to spread judgement among them, but then stopped when she heard a familiar feeling in her mind. Her god, her master wanted to speak with her.

With some reluctance she retreated from the bandit camp, she would return again anyway.

She kneeled and psychically connected her mind, and there Emroy himself was here, in a realm consisted with blood and madness, fighting never stopped here, even warriors died in here, they would be resurrected by Emroy to fight for eternity, it was the highest honor one could achieve for Emroy.

RORY MERCURY!

Her god screamed in fury, she took a step back in fear, he looked furious, well more furious than usual. His avatar looked like a brute in crude armor made of crimson red, a huge axe in his hands was similiar to her weapon but glowed blood red

She kneeled, and bowed submissively

(WILD WASTELAND) ''What is thy bidding, my master?'' she asked respectfully

YOUR DEEDS HAVE BEEN GREAT IN MY NAME! I HAVE MOUNTAIN OF SKULLS THANKS TO YOU! He paused before speaking again YOU MUST PROVE YOURSELF TO ME ONCE MORE!

She bowed her head lower ''Anything, Anything for Emroy!'' she shouted in madness

GOOD! THEN GO TO THE KODA VILLAGE! AND FIND THIS MORTAL! a pale woman wearing a strange coat armor with crossbow like weapons appared in her mind AND GRANT ME HER SKULL!

(WILD WASTELAND) BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE! MILK FOR KHORNE FLAKES! RORY SCREAMED IN PURE DELIGHT! AND MADNESS!

She calmed down and found herself in the forest again, she looked at the location of the bandits, remembering their conversation.

It seems those bandits would serve a purpose after all...

It was unsurprisingly easy to convince the psykers to come with her after Cato basically offered himself. Even a smart girl like Lelei did not suspected anything since her master already did the job for the Courier.

Which is why they were carrying the books to her vertibird right now, Cato said he couldn't leave these books anywhere. She moved the vertibird inside the village to carry the books easier, much to the astonishment of the natives again. They were getting more and more submissive and friendly around her, just as she preferred. She made a mental note to send some securitrons and place few holograms to occupy this village later.

''Oh this is marvelous! I can't wait to see how this 'vertibird' works from inside! all of your empire's creations must be masterpiece! Half-metal dogs, golems, guns, I wonder what other marvels we will see beyond the gate?'' Cato asked eagerly, Oh if only he knew

''You don't have to point this out every five minutes master, since we are already going there, thanks to our outworlder friend'' Lelei pointed out smartly as always.

''I know but it's just so exciting my dear apprentice'' Cato said, as he moved the last books to the vertibird.

''Well that's it!'' Cato announced ''Now we can go, come on-''

''THERE IS A DRAGON APPROACHING HERE RIGHT NOW! A FIRE DRAGON!'' one of the villagers shouted in pure fear as she pointed her finger to the west.

Instantly Courier equipped her anti-material rifle, and sprinted to the west where villager pointed her finger and looked at the sky, she had no idea how strong a dragon's hide was, but she doubted it's hide could protect it from a cloud-poisoned explosive 50. Ammo. Not even a deathclaw could resist few shots from it. Even If that were to fail, she would just use Elijah's LAER.

She looked at the skies to find it... and there it was...

It was big... so big that it would easily put Rawr to shame, It was easily the biggest creature she had seen in her life. Suddenly she had a desire, even as the dragon flied to her location in frightening speed, a desire to cut this creatue open to see what made it tick.

She had to kill this creature! FOR SCIENCE!

She felt herself in bullet-time as she activated Implant GRX, She took aim with her rifle, to the creature's skulll and fired. Because of it's size taking aim was pretty easy.

Dragon was stunned, and roared in pain due to kinetic and red-cloud explosion, but didn't penetrated the hide completely, even though the cloud eagerly ate dragon's flesh alive, so she shot it again and again.

After her fifth shout, dragon screamed in pure pain and fell to the ground very near the village, shaking it, and digging the soil around it with it's weight as it drifted away. She put the rifle to her holster on her back and equipped the Elijah's LAER, if this weapon couldn't kill it nothing would.

Before the dragon even could recover, She sprinted to the dragon and fired her weapon, and activated the hologram guards of her hologram harness, two hologram bodyguards materialized near her and assisted her further with their lasers, her LAER destroyed the dragon's flesh by firing a electrical-blue-tinged laser of lightning-like energy that sheared apart the dragon's atomic bonds, literally stripping it's body apart atom by atom and molecule by molecule. Elijah designed some damn fine weapons.

Dragon could no longer handle so much lethal fire, combined with it's head injury and red cloud still consuming it's flesh, it finally dropped dead, his bones could be seen on the locations of LAER hits, in which blue ashes dropped to the ground.

After her bionic eyes analyzed the creature and confirmed it's death, she stopped firing, and looked at it in detail, her new specimen and trophy, Think Tank is going to have field day with this... too heavy to carry though... another reason to occupy this village

She then looked at her back, there villagers stood there, their faces in complete disbelief, as if like still not comprehending what in the blazes just happened. After a minute their brains finally realized what just happened. Their faces were now completely worshipful and devoted for her.
