After Marinette and Piper left Sanctuary Hills, Chloe went to the basement and the guards followed but she told them to guard up top instead and she walked down, and the guards stood around the house and stood guard.
Chloe walked over to the table and when she sat down, she started to cry, and the Kwami's came over
"What's wrong Kitten?" Plagg asked
"I'm worried about Marinette that she's going to get killed out there one of these days." Chloe cried into her arms
"Don't worry Chloe you guys can't die since you guys have the power immorality, my power." Blaze said
"Thanks Blaze I'm glad Marinette found you." Chloe said patting Blaze on her head, and she fluffed up her feathers making Chloe laugh.
With Marinette and Piper
Marinette and Piper made it to Drumlin Diner where they ate and rested
"Trudy has it been busy here?" Marinette asked
"Yes, it has, they stop here and sell at of their junk then Sanctuary Traders come, and they buy all the junk from me, and I get a lot of caps from them, and I do it all again the next day." Trudy said the Marinette saw someone missing
"Where is your son?" Marinette asked
"Since that settlement got built, he goes there a lot to talk to every girl that arrives." Trudy said then Marinette got up and she walked out but Trudy stopped her
"You're not going to stop my son are?" Trudy asked
"I'm not but if he does something terrible there then the guards will throw him out." Marinette said and they continued walking to Diamond City and when they made to the wreck of the USS Riptide Marinette saw a Raider in Power Armor, so she equipped her rifle and activated her V.A.T.S and she aided a little bit of her magic so it would hit its target and she aimed at the power core and she pulled the trigger and it hit it and core started to spark and it fell out and bounced alone the ground and the raider walked a few feet then he got out and ran to where the other Raiders were then the Fusion Core exploded
"Okay, note to self, protect my back when I wear Power Armor." Marinette said then the Raiders started to shoot where Marinette and Piper were, and they ducked down and they started to shoot back killing every Raider and they walked down and started searching and all they found were junk, weapons, ammo and health but Marinette did find couple of things that were interesting. Marinette walked into the ship's cabin and found a magazine
"Wasteland Survival Guide?" Marinette said confused then Piper came in
"What you got there Blue?" Piper asked and Marinette showed her the book
"What you got their blue is the Wasteland Survival Guide, and it seems like you got the Farming the Wastes book the first one." Piper said
"What does it do?" Marinette asked
"Fruits and Vegetables heal you 50% more." Piper said while Marinette looked in her confused
"Don't question it blue, it's the law of the wasteland it's always been that way for a long time since the bombs dropped." Piper said
Marinette continued looking around the ship and she found another mini-nuke and more ammo so she pocketed them for later and she looked where the power armor is and saw more containers so she walked over and searched the containers finding more health, ammo and weapons and after Marinette collected everything, they walked off the ship and continued walking to Diamond City and when they arrived, they walked inside.
"Alright Piper where is Nick Valentine?" Marinette asked
"Over there look for the red lights." Piper said pointing at the sign and Marinette saw it and they walked over
"Nuka Cola. Need Nuka Cola." Sheffield said and Marinette took out a Nuka Cola and gave it to him
"Thank you, thank you for the Nuka Cola." Sheffield said drinking the bottle and he walked off
"That was nice thing to do blue." Piper said and Marinette gave her a smile and they continued walking then Marinette saw something one the wall and she took it off
"Most Wanted. Help anyone with a gun please clear out Andrew Station the Raiders have been pestering travelers and traders on the road. Reward 6000 caps per Raider killed." Marinette said pocketing the wanted paper and they continued walked and followed the red lights and they walked past two people who were talking about the Railroad and the freedom trail then they walked away after they talked to them, and Marinette and Piper arrived at Nick Valentine's detective office, and they walked in and saw Ellie panicking and she came over
"I'm sorry we can't take any cases at the moment since Nick isn't here at the moment, he's gone missing since he took that case 4 days ago." Ellie cried
"4 days ago, what was the old coger investigating?" Piper asked
"Runaway daughter and it led him to Vault 114, so he went there, and he hasn't returned home." Ellie cried and Marinette came over and hugged where Ellie cried in Marinette's shoulder
"Don't worry we will rescue your boss and come back in one piece." Marinette said as she rubbed Ellie's back and Ellie removed herself from Marinette's embrace while Piper watched in jealously
"Thank you, you two." Ellie said as she walked out of the room and Marinette and Piper exited out
"Blue do you know where Vault 114 is?" Piper asked
"I remember it was being built next to a subway." Marinette said and they walked out of Diamond City and headed west
Marinette and Piper walked past a Police station, and they saw it was infested by Radroaches and a glowing one, so they quickly shot at them, and they walked inside to find anything, and Marinette found a holotape and she pressed play
Message to Rodrigo Palomar
Okay, my friend. I thought about it, and I've reached a decision on the Fallon's job. Your cut is exactly what you deserve. 0 dollars. Zilch. You heard me right. You get nothing. Yes, you cracked the safe, and yes, we got the diamonds. But you also tripped the alarm. Mackie got pinched, and that is entirely your fault. Now, when he gets out, Mackie's going to want your head on a platter. I'm going to give him your share instead. I'd say you're getting off easy.
Eddie Winter, signing off
"I remember this guy he's a notorious mob boss that would pull different Robberies all over Boston back before the war." Marinette said
"What happened to him, did they catch him?" Piper asked
"No, he just disappeared off the face of the earth and no one has seen him ever again after that, some say he died in turf war or he's on some island enjoying his freedom and his riches and there were other rumors being talked about around Boston." Marinette said then she saw a key on a dresser, and she picked it up
"Another key where I do not know where it belongs." Marinette said as she pocketed it, and they walked out and continued walking to Vault 114 and they walked past Boston Public Library.
"I would avoid that place blue it's Super Mutant central in there." Piper said
"Noted." Marinette said and they walked past, and they heard shooting coming from inside and they walked past Trinity Plaza
"I would avoid that place as well since Super Mutants occupy the place." Piper said
"Piper when will we fight these green skin monsters?" Marinette asked
"It's not the fighting I'm worried about it's what they will do to us if they out number us." Piper said with a horrified look on her face
"Piper, I know what they would do to us since we're both females, but we have to clear place out some time in the future." Marinette said
"Yeah, I know but there are powerful Super Mutants that have powerful weaponry." Piper said and that made Marinette interested
"Exactly how powerful?" Marinette asked with a hint of glee in her voice
Well, there are Super Mutant Suicider who runs at you with a Mini-nuke and tries to blow you up and itself as well." Piper said
(I hate these guys so much they run at you with that bomb ticking I don't know how many times I died due to that ticking since I hear it but I don't know where they are until it's too late.)
"So, if I kill them, I collect more Mini-nuke ammo for my Fatman weapon." Marinette said and Piper nodded
"Then there is Super Mutant Enforcers who use low wields energy weapons that are less powerful than their powerful counterparts, then there are Super Mutant Butchers who use heavy weapons like Mini-guns and heavy melee weapons, then there are Super Mutant Master who use Mini-guns and Rocket Launchers and they are dangerous from a distance, then is Super Mutant overlords who wield any heavy weapon, then there is the rare Super Mutant Primus they wield Sledgehammers, Assault Rifles, Rocket Launcher and sometimes Fat-Man, then there are Super Mutant Warlord and they carry heavy melee weapons and the most dangerous to really avoid are Super Mutant Behemoths they can smash their fire hydrant into the ground making the place got dusty making it hard to see and they can smash their prey into the ground or into the sky and they can throw boulders from a distance." Piper explained
"Fuck, okay I'll avoid them but we will have to deal with them soon." Marinette said and they continued walking until they made it to Hubris Comics
"This place is where I would go and read comic books in my downtime and if you want you can find comics about the heroes." Marinette said to Piper who looked excited
"Then what are we waiting for let's go inside." Piper said running to the door but Marinette grabbed hold of her
"Hold on Piper we need to be careful we don't know what's lurking inside." Marinette said equipping her Shotgun while Piper got her submachine gun out and they walked to the door slowly and a ghoul came out from under the trailer and Marinette shot it and it died and they walked to the door where they saw a dead scavenger and Marinette looted everything and they went inside.
When they made it inside, they saw ghouls walking around so they started to blast them but they heard growling and thumping upstairs so they waited and when the ghouls appeared they started to shoot and they dropped dead and after they were finished Marinette reloaded her shotgun and she got out her pistol and without looking she shot the monkey in the head as it started to bang it's drums together.
"Why did you do that?" Piper asked
"They creep me out and they explode." Marinette said then she saw a comic book and an axe that is locked up, so she picked up the book and she put it in her inventory, and she went over to the locked containment, and she used her elbow and smashed the glass and got the axe out
"Blue there are a lot of undamaged comic books here." Piper said and Marinette walked over and saw they were The Adventure of Ladybug and Miraculous heroes, and Piper took all of them off the shelves and she stored them so she can read them for later when she returns back to Sanctuary Hills.
Marinette went back over to the counter and she searched in the register and found a key and she saw a door so she picked the key and she unlocked it with the key and the door opened and she got out her shotgun to make sure no feral ghoul was inside and there was so she shot it dead and she walked around and saw a note on a box and after reading it she opened the box and saw couple of graphic T-shirts so she picked one up and saw Ladybug in a battle pose
"I wonder if Chloe would like these." Marinette said as she stored it and she saw a safe so went over and tried to open it but it was locked so she lockpicked it and she got open and she collected ammo and caps and she walked out and walked over to the toilets and saw another Scavenger so she looted everything from him and she saw Piper sitting down and reading the comics.
"Piper, you can read them when we are in a settlement but when we out we need to be alert." Marinette said after Piper got scared by Marinette talking to her so Piper put the comic away and they went up to the second floor Marinette walked around and saw another dead Scavenger and she read the note and she pocketed as she didn't understand what they were talking about and she walked into an office and she saw a photo of the Sliver Shroud so she picked it up for later and she saw a baseball bat so she picked it up and the ball as well so she left the Office and she walked into a breakroom and saw Nuka-Cola on the ground so she picked up
"Oh, sweet I got a Nuka-Cola Quantum." Marinette said then she left the breakroom then she saw another office and she saw on the door it was the mangers office and she walked in and saw a key on the desk so she picked it up and then she exited and walk up to the third floor where she saw more ghouls and she got her shotgun out and she started to shoot at them but after a couple of shots her gun jammed and she got dog piled by the remaining ghouls.
On the Bottom Floor
When Marinette was distracted by looting, she went back down and sat at her seat and read her comics then she heard shooting and growling then nothing so she put her comics away and got her gun out and she went to the third floor where she saw a pile of Ghouls so she shoots at them and she removed them and saw a bloody Marinette.
"What happened blue?" Piper asked as she help Marinette help
"My fucking gun jammed then the ghouls all dog piled me." Marinette said picking up her shotgun and she gave it a few pumps then the bullet came out and it hit the roof and they heard a body drop on the ground
"I think I just killed a ghoul." Marinette said then she saw a locked door, but she opened it with the key, and she entered and picked up the Sliver Shroud script and Grape Mentats and after she collected everything, they went to the fourth floor where they saw a dead ghoul at the top of the stairs, and they saw a green glow
"Fuck a glowing one." Marinette said
"But this one is normal, so we won't have trouble killing it." Piper said and they walked over, and the glowing ghoul stood up and Marinette and Piper shot at it, and it fell down dead.
"Blue are we in Sliver Shrouds lair." Piper said
"Yes, Piper we are this is where the Sliver Shroud hanged out." Marinette sarcastically said
"Are you being sarcastic at me?" Piper asked
"No Piper I am not." Marinette said
"I knew you were when I asked about the Sliver Shroud." Piper said
"Okay fine, this is where they filmed the TV show Sliver Shroud." Marinette said which shocked Piper
"I thought he was real just like the superheroes." Piper said
"Oh, the superheroes were real if we go to the news network of Boston's we can look if you like." Marinette said then Piper came over and hugged Marinette not caring if she got blooded but she liked the feeling of Marinette's breast on her own Breasts which were going hard then Marinette split apart
"Okay I know your happy now but let's search what we can loot here." Marinette said after she felt her breasts going hard as she felt Piper's also going hard.
Marinette searched the lockers and found costumes of her old Miraculous team and Grognak the Barbarian costume. So, she put them in her inventory and she searched the room where she saw a mannequin of Sliver Shrouds costume and hat so she collected it and she went behind the fake screen and the Sliver Shrouds machinegun so she picked and she saw a star on the toilet door and she walked over and it was so she lockpicked it and it opened and she found Astoundingly Awesome Tales and they both left the comic book store and continued walking to their destination.
Marinette and Piper arrived at an army van, and they saw writing on it and Marinette read it
"Who or What is Swan's Pond?" Marinette asked
"Swan is a Super Mutant Behemoth so we should avoid his pond for a while." Piper said and Marinette nodded so they walked around, and they arrived at Park Street station, and they entered inside, and they heard people talking so they snuck up to the wall and they saw Triggerman talking
"What are we going to do blue?" Piper asked
"Just watch." Marinette said and she got out a grenade and she pulled the pin out and rolled it along the ground until it hit a triggerman's foot.
"Huh." Triggerman said as he looked down and saw a grenade right by his foot
"GRENADE GET DOWN!" Triggerman said as he ran but he was too slow as the grenade exploded killing him and injuring the other triggerman so Marinette and Piper came out shot the remaining Triggerman as they were still dazed from the grenade and after they were all killed Marinette looted their bodies collecting more ammo and weapons and after she was done, they went down stairs where they saw lot more Triggerman so Marinette switched from shotgun to assault rifle and they docked down behind the wall.
"Are you ready Piper?" Marinette asked and Piper nodded so Marinette pulled the pin to her grenade and she threw hard and it bounced and landed at couple of triggerman's feet and it exploded as it landed killing them instantly and the other Triggerman went over to investigate while Marinette got another grenade ready and she threw where the Triggerman are and it one in the head and dropped in front of him and it exploded after it landed killing all of them.
"Damn they stupid why would they go over there to investigate and not search for who threw it." Marinette said to Piper who just shrugged her shoulders so they walked down and collected ammo and other stuff then they walked along the subway and they saw 3 triggermen outside
"Careful blue we have a legendary Triggerman over there." Piper whispered
"I wonder what legendary weapon or armor he's carrying?" Marinette wondered
"Let's find out shell we." Piper said
Marinette aimed at the legendary triggerman and when she made his health almost depleted, the triggerman got his second wind and they started to shoot where Marinette and Piper are hiding
"What the fuck he should be dead?" Marinette asked confused
"I forgot to tell you Legendary's activate their second wind meaning they would fight longer." Piper said
"Fuck this, I want that legendary object." Marinette said then she got out of her hiding place and she activated her V.A.T.S and she aimed at every Triggerman and she pulled the trigger and the bullets hit their target and they all fell down.
"Right let's see what I get." Marinette said as she walked up to the Legendary Triggerman and she saw he was carrying Never Ending Double Barrel Shotgun
"Fuck yes this is know my favorite weapon." Marinette said as she put two rounds in the barrel and loaded the gun up
"Come on Piper we got a detective to save." Marinette said as she walked up to the controls, and she connected her pip-boy and the door opened up.
"I see they didn't finish this vault in time before the bombs dropped, they were still building." Marinette said as she pressed the red button and the door opened making a loud screeching sound and she heard triggerman on the other side so she got her weapon out and looked where the Triggerman and she saw him walking out so she walked inside and she blasted the Triggerman and he went flying and crashed into shelves and it fell on top of him and Marinette winced thinking it alerted the other Triggermen but it didn't so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"How did that not alert anyone?" Marinette asked she opened the door and another Triggerman walked out with a baseball bat, so she shot him, and he went and crashed into the wall and slumped.
Marinette and Piper walked down the stairs and into a room where they heard two Triggerman talking so Marinette got out of her Rifle and when she made it to the door, she activated her V.A.T.S and she aimed at their heads, and she pulled the trigger and she killed both of them by head shots.
"What were they talking about something about a con?" Piper asked
"I don't know but we'll find out soon." Marinette said putting her rifle away and getting her shotgun out and they walked down the hallway and they came to the door where she open it and saw the walkway hasn't been built yet and she saw couple of Triggermen walking around so Marinette ran at them and when got near she blasted them and they went flying back and the two triggermen who walked out started to shoot at Marinette some of the bullets hit but she didn't fell it since she was wearing armor and when she made to the two she shot at them and they went flying and one fell down the hole while the other one slide into the shelves
Marinette heard something down below and she saw a Triggerman looking at the body, so she shot at him, and he fell backwards with no head, and she dropped down and she saw a corridor, so she walked through and found a door that would take her to vault 114
"Alright Piper the hard part is over with, now let's find Nick Valentine." Marinette said and they walked through the door entering Vault 114.
Marinette and Piper walked down the dark corridor and they come to the common room where they saw a Dino talking to someone through the overseer's window, so Marinette equipped her rifle, and she looked down the sights until she got Dino's head in sight and when she does she pulls the trigger and the bullet went flying and it hit Dino in the head killing him instantly
"Hey! Whoever killed this guy better free me quick before they come and find their muscle for brains aren't coming back." Nick said
Marinette and Piper quickly ran up and Marinette looted Dino's body and found a password to a computer and she got the door unlocked and she walked in and saw Nick Valentine the first time she was shocked to see what he is
"You one of those synth things people talk about." Marinette said pointing at Nick
"Actually, I'm one of the discarded prototypes second generation synth." Nick said
"What do you mean you a prototype synth?" Marinette asked
"I'll tell you more when we're out of this vault." Nick said as he ran to the door and as Marinette was about to leave, she saw couple of holo-tapes and a bobblehead, so she collected them and quickly left the room, and she made down to the ground floor where Nick was hiding
"Why are we hiding here?" Marinette said
"Because three of skinny Malone's men is coming and they want to know where Dino is." Nick said and Marinette got her shotgun out ready, and they saw three Triggerman walking in front of the window and the door opened and they called out to their friend who they don't is dead.
Marinette got a grenade out and she pulled the pin, and she threw it, and it bounced on the ground couple of times, and it rolled at one of the Triggerman's feet then it exploded killing all of them.
"Going the loud and noisy route are we, it's going to take forever to get the blood off these tiles whoever has to clean them." Nick said running through the door and they went down the corridor where Marinette went into every room and looted useful items and after looting anything that was useful, Marinette ran down the corridor where she saw Nick getting the door unstuck.
"How did you get locked up down here?" Marinette asked
"I was following up on a case of a runaway daughter and there were clues that lead me to this vault and when I arrived, I found out she didn't run away, but she joined up with Skinny Malone's crew and she was having sex with him as well." Nick said then he got the door opened and Marinette saw a Triggerman, so she got her shotgun and shot him dead, and she walked in, and she saw couple of rooms, and she entered and see if there are anything useful but she nothing of interest and she exited out and she heard shouting and shooting so she exited the room and she entered and saw a Triggerman running out of the room so she shot him dead and continued going through every room and she collected anything useful while killing Triggerman and after killing the last Triggerman and collected every useful items they came across another locked door
"Hang on let me get this." Nick said working on the door
This may take a wee while and be careful I hear Malone's footsteps so be ready for anything." Nick said and he got door opened and they walked through and saw Skinny Malone with three remining Triggerman and Darla.
"What the fuck, you come into my home and kill my men and make this place a mess that would be hard to clean out, you have ruined my operation and now I'm going to be a laughingstock with the other Triggerman and their leaders." Malone said then he saw Marinette and smiled
"There is a price on your head." Malone said
"Really from who?" Marinette asked
"Eager, Jared and Ack-Ack all put a reward for your head." Malone said then Marinette looked at Darla
"Darla why did you join up with Skinny Malone, you family have been missing you so much, you are a nice girl and not a murder." Marinette said persuading Darla to do the right thing and she saw Darla then she threw her bat down on the ground
"Your right I'm not a murder, I don't know why I joined up with you Malone, I'm heading home where belong all along." Darla said then she ran to the exit
"With out her around to feed that ego of yours, why not let us go alive." Nick said
"I don't know there is still a bounty on her head, and I want to collect it." Malone said pointing his gun at Marinette
"Malone think about this, if you let us leave alive you can keep this vault where you can continue whatever operation you were running, and we won't come back to this vault again, so what do you think." Marinette said giving Marlone a deal
"Alright you got a count to ten to get out of here and if you are not gone by the time, I make it to one then I'll have to kill you." Malone said then he started to count down from 10
"I think it's our time to leave, so let's get going." Nick said and they all ran to the exit, and they went up and saw it was raining
"It's great being out and feeling the rain again and not underground in a dusty vault where I have to stare at the same wall or corner every day." Nick said
"At least you are out of the vault now." Piper said
"You got that right so why did you free the old detective out of there?" Nick asked
"To find the person who kidnapped my son Shaun." Marinette said
"We can't talk here, so let's meet at my office in Diamond City, so do you want to walk with me and go to Diamond City together who shall we meet up later?" Nick asked
"We'll meet up later I got to drop this stuff off." Marinette said
"Alright I'll see you soon." Nick said as he walks off to Diamond City
"Come on Piper we are heading back to Sanctuary Hills to drop off this load." Marinette said as they walked out of the Alleyway, and they walked back to Sanctuary Hills.
2 hours later they have arrived, and they saw the sun was setting below the horizon and they heard Lightning going off in the distance.
"We're lucky we arrived home before the Radiation storm arrived and it seems like it's going to be a rough night tonight." Piper said
"We better get the Radiation protection up then so no one in the Settlement gets Radiation poisoning." Marinette said walking over to the guard headquarters that is right next to wall, and she pressed the cover button, and a glass dome went over the settlement and sealing it up from the radiation and Marinette went over to the General
"When that Radiation storm disappears, I want you or one of the guards to bring down the protection." Marinette said
"I'll do that boss." General Steve said saluting at Marinette who smiled, and she walked out and headed to her home but before she could the people worked at the storeroom ran over and they took everything Marinette collected except for the items that is the miscellaneous category and they ran back to where they sorted it all out and Marinette entered inside and saw Piper was about to come inside
"Piper you are free to do whatever you want to do." Marinette said
"Alright blue I'll see you tomorrow." Piper said as she headed to her house to read the comics she has collected
Marinette closed the door and she saw the guards walking around
"Where's Chloe?" Marinette asked
"Basement." One of the guards said pointing at the back of the house and Marinette walked to the back of the house and she entered the basement and walked down
Chloe who was sitting at the desk playing with the Kwamis heard the door open and she told the kwamis to hide but they didn't hide instead they went to the sound and when they saw it was Marinette, they all went over to her and hugged her with tears in their eyes
"Why are you guys crying I returned home safely." Marinette said as she collected them all and hugged them
"Now are you guys going to let me go so I can give Chloe something." Marinette said and they let her go but some of them sat on her shoulder or her head and Marinette walked to the table where Chloe was looking at her
"I got you something that you would like so much." Marinette said
"What are they?" Chloe asked
Marinette got out the box of graphic Miraculous T-shirts and she put them on the table and Chloe opened the box up and saw different Miraculous T-shirts
"Are these what I think they are." Chloe said and she picked up a t-shirt where Ladybug and Queen Bee were doing poses
"Yeah, and Piper collected every Miraculous comic book that was undamaged." Marinette said
"Of course, they wouldn't be damaged MDC made these comic books." Chloe said
"Do you want to wear one to bed." Marinette said and Chloe nodded.
"Sorry guys you have to stay down here don't want anyone to mistake you for an animal that has been heavily radiated." Marinette said and they all looked down then they gave Marinette teary puppy dog eyes and Marinette knew she can't say no to those eyes even after 200 years she's still not immune to them
"Alright you guys can sleep with us but when day breaks you going back to the basement." Marinette said and the nodded while smiling
"I see you still can't say no to those eyes of theirs." Chloe said smiling
"I can't say no when you do those eyes as well, but when you add in the sexy stare as well that's when I break." Marinette said as Chloe laughs and kiss her on the cheek as they walk out of the basement and into their bedroom where they took off their day clothes and put on their nightwear and as they got under the covers and every kwami came over and snuggled up with them and they fell asleep hearing the muffled sound of lightning and thunder behind the protection as radiation rain
