Part.1 The long road to hell

The characters of Fallout: New Vegas are created and owned by someone else as this is just for fan fiction purposes only.

AN: Takes place after the events of Fallout: New Vegas

Location: New Vegas

Year: 2281

It is the cause of celebration throughout New Vegas as the NCR or New California Republic has pulled back from New Vegas as the people celebrated their newfound independence and Mr. House the esteemed overlord had been taken out as well. The Yes Man had taken his place and the Hoover Dam is now destroyed including Caesar although his forces remain somewhere else.

Two people are walking the main street of New Vegas in which the people have heard of their exploits, one of them is a female who goes by the name of courier Six or Six for that matter as she was shot in the head, but was nursed back to health and went on to explore the wastelands. She had found a kindred sprit a wanderer like much herself whom the people called the One-Free-man, his name Gordon Freeman a dimensional traveler.

There have been other traveling companions as well considering they had their issues but have been resolved as those people are going about their business without any problem at all, three kids are chasing a rat in the streets and other people are going about their business.

"Well six," said Gordon "Looks like this place is free from everybody,"

"Indeed," said six as she nodded "I have enough to worry about,"

"It was fun while it lasted," said Gordon

"Hah, it was a real blood bath," said six "I best to get back on the road I heard rumors of Big Mountain as I am going to check it out."

"Good luck with that," said Gordon "My suit did scan that pip-boy of yours awhile back and I just discovered some new signal,"

"Mine too," she said

"It's a distress call coming from a location," said Gordon "My suits scanners pinpoint it to a place called the Divide,"

"Nasty place, never been there," she said "Well looks like we are going our separate ways,"

"Yes of course," said Gordon

On the Road

Both of them nodded and went their separate ways as the Divide entrance is near Primm he had previously been there before and it is a long walk so he got started as he left New Vegas and used the highway as it is a long walk. He came across an occasional gang or some nut who is trying to kill him, but Gordon killed them instead and day turned into night as he kept on moving. There are a few creatures in this dimension that tried to pick a fight with Gordon like a rad-scorpion or rat or one of those Death claws as Gordon has his assortment of weapons and new weapons he used his suits scanners for to have them ready at a moments notice.

He passed by a brotherhood of steel patrol as the members saluted him and Gordon just nodded as he kept on moving as he passed by a few locations that is of interest and even pass by a few people going to New Vegas as the walking trip was rather quiet until he can see the outskirts of Primm as the Powder Gangers and the NCR was there as the sheriff is a 50's version of Robbie the Robot. It was the wee hours of the morning as Gordon arrived at Primm and across the bridge where an old drive-thru once stood.

He headed toward the path where he and the courier noticed it before, but decided to investigate it later, a few wolves got in his way, but Gordon managed to scare them off and he spotted the sign called the Divide in a junk pile as it was a bus entrance, opening the door he headed inside and once he got to the other side. The wind started to blow and he looked off at the distance the Divide was rather huge, so he followed the side path until he came upon two military style doors and used his Gravity gun to open the doors and headed inside.

Old Military base

The military base appeared to be in shambles as a large rockets can be seen that never been fired and he discovered a military general who looked like one of those ghouls he and the courier encountered before. It looked rather dead with a gun shot wound to the head and found a key on him as it can be used for the rest of the place as he had opened several doors and found an eye-bot that looked similar to the courier six. He checked it out and fixed it as it seems to be working, along with hovering around Gordon like some fly.

He chuckled at that and kept on moving, but not before checking out the old logs of this eye-bot some things of interest and noticed it needed some upgrades. Thinking nothing of it he kept on moving as he found an entrance to the outside that appears to overlook some sort of military base that is in shambles, and rather dead looking considering no one else has stepped here in years or at least decades, but the stench of death is all around until someone spoke into the eye-bot in a deep voice as the man thought Gordon is a courier six.

"I hate to break it to you," said Gordon "But I am not her and I have seen many old worlds."

"The old worlds of America," said the man "The divide was part of it and who are you then,"

"I am Gordon Freeman," said Gordon "And yes I have seen the old world of America as this dimension is messed up,"

"The one-free-man, hmmm!" said the Man "Stories of you have reached the divide with your exploits with courier six. I was going to offer her a challenge, however I will propose it to you in a form of who lives and who dies."

"No one has that power," said Gordon "It makes you just as bad as the Combine,"

"A name I am unfamiliar with," said the man "I am Ulysses, do you accent my challenge."

"Very well I accept," said Gordon "You and I are going to have a long talk when we meet,"

"If you survive the Divide," said Ulysses

"I survived odds you can never imagine," said Gordon "Until then I will be knocking at your door,"

The conversation ended as Gordon kept on moving as this eye-bot hovered near him as the military base looked rather dead and checked for anything he could use in several barracks in which one of them had NCR ghouls that attacked him with projectile weapons. His shields held and bounced off of his shields as Gordon cut them up to pieces by using the omni-tool blade. Not finding anything important as he kept on moving and there is a lot of damage until he came upon a town and it looked like it had raiders here in which one of them had a sniper rifle and the other had a bazooka.

His shields held and returned fire as the raiders dropped like flies, real sick people in this place as he kept on moving until finally on a small highway that leads into an underground tunnel. He decided to head inside and see where it leads to.

Walking onwards

It was dark, but not dark enough for him to see as his hazmat suit illuminated the area and found it to be a complete mess with vehicle and including dead bodies of NCR people. Seems the NCR wanted something here and guess someone is treading the bear in ways he cannot imagine and kept on moving as he sees something coming out of the ground like creatures he has never seen before and came charging at him, but stopping as the light from Gordon is making them withdraw as the creatures don't like the light that much and kept on moving as he sees a death claw being attacked by those creatures.

However the death claw made quick work of those creatures, until Gordon using his ninja training got behind the death claw and used the omni-blade to chop off it's head and then kept on moving as he sees a light at the end of the tunnel, however this tunnel is long and treacherous to navigate however Gordon made due with what he has and as time passed considering it was day time when he came to the divide now it is night time and walked from out of the long tunnel and then Ulysses spoke into the eye-bot again about this and that.

"You really need a hobby, perhaps a girl friend and I believe Captain America would have a conversation with you about the old world America," said Gordon

"The long road to hell is before you," said Ulysses "I do not know this Captain America, I take it he is the symbol of what America used to be," he paused "And sexual experiences do not interest me. In time we will meet,"

"That we will." said Gordon

The conversation ended as Gordon can see a long stretch of highway of where, he does not know at least not yet.
