Chapter 5: Ain't it a Kick in the Head
…

May 21 2296

It was a bright clear morning as a lone gecko walked across the ancient and ruined road. The creature was not the mightiest of wasteland creatures but it was still just as deadly especially if they were in a pack. The creature soon stopped in the middle of the road as it sniffed at the air. It could smell another creature nearby. Was it a threat, or was it prey? The thought left the Gecko puzzled suddenly.

"BANG!"

The gecko suddenly jerked back and hit the ground hard. It's life suddenly over in the blink of an eye as the life faded from it. The scene then moves to the shooter and it's revealed to be Chloe crouched down holding a scoped hunting rifle next to her stood Courier Six, his riot helmet off and replaced with a black cowboy hat, and behind the both of them was Olga Discordia who was fanning herself with her own cowboy hat in an attempt to cool off.

"(Whistles) Damn first Shot. You're a natural at this Chloe." Six said as he looked down at Chloe giving her a smile of approval.

Chloe looked up and saw his smile and blushed a bit before returning the smile. "Well it's not that different from a crossbow, all though." She then proceeds to roll her shoulder in an attempt to relieve the soreness that was now present after she had fired the rifle. "A crossbow doesn't kick like an angered horse."

Six let out a chuckle then looked over to Olga who had stopped fanning herself and had returned her hat to her head.

"Hey Olga, you're next." Six said as he handed her a purified bottle of water.

Olga shot him a look before taking the water and proceeded to drink it. She was annoyed and for good reason to. She went from living in luxury and comfort to a homeless nomad having to rely on the kindness of a stranger to survive and that she also was annoyed that she found herself finding him quite handsome.

Flashback

May 19th 2296 9:45pm

Victor's Shack

Inside the shack Six was rummaging through some of the items he had stored there incase of emergencies. While he did that the two elven women occupied themselves by looking around the room. For the most part it was pretty bare bone with a few trinkets and books laying around. Chloe had taken an interest in a little model robot while Olga had chosen to pick-up a magazine she found lying on a desk.

The title read Wasteland Survival Guide. As she read, she came across an article about radiation poisoning and how to treat it. To her surprise she found the information the tomb had was very useful. Even though she had no idea what radiation was or how it worked. From what she could understand from reading radiation was some type of man made miasma that was caused when something called the Great War happened and left this radiation spread out across the land.

Her concentration was soon broken when Six dropped two sets of clothing on the table. "Alright ladies take your pick. We have a set of leather armor and a Merc Adventurer outfit for you to pick from."

Although she couldn't see his face she could sense the grin he was giving her behind his helmet. "You're enjoying this. Aren't you human?"

Six could only chuckle at her accusation. Although she wasn't wrong. What he found so amusing was that it was a new adventure for him. True, his plan to explore the East coast had been put on hold. But now he wanted to go back to the two elves' home and explore their world instead.

With a look of disgust on her face Olga picked the merc adventurers outfit while Chloe took the leather armor. However before they started to change they both quickly pushed Six out of the shack so they could change in peace.

"Tell me Chloe, what do you think of our human rescuers?" Olga asked as she stripped from her old clothes and began to put on her new outfit.

Chloe paused what she was doing and began to think about the question she was just asked. Though normally she would have threatened the human or chastised him the moment she would have laid eyes on him. Instead she found herself following his lead and obeying his orders and except for a few instances she wasn't really questioning his motives. From what she could tell he was just a kind but also strange and reckless hero who seems to just wing it when it comes to situations.

"Hmm I'd say he's reckless but he seems to have a good heart. But I don't believe I agree with most of his fighting methods." Chloe says as she finishes putting on her new outfit.

Olga could only sigh before she finished getting dressed.

Outside Six had removed his helmet and was smoking a cigarette while he waited for the two women to finish getting dressed. He then looked up at the stars in thought. The first thing he wondered about was the place he was teleported to during the experiment. In the three days he spent in the Dark Citadel he was able to familiarize himself with its layout. While he was exploring he noticed that it was full of secret passages that allowed him to move throughout the palace undetected.

During one of his explorations he came across what seemed to be a treasure room and boy was it a find. He saw all kinds of treasures from god and silver, weapons, ancient tombs and in the center of the room a staff with a purple crystal on its head. As he picked it up he heard a ping from his pip-boy. It read "Dark Queens Staff grants users +100 to magical attacks." Six eyes went wide at the description as he digitized it into his pip-boy along with a number of the ancient books, gold and weapons before taking his leave.

As six came back to reality he took a look at his inventory and the items he had taken from the citadel and began to think if he should at least return Olgas staff. Before he could come up with a clear decision the door to the shack opened and out stepped Olga and Chloe. To his surprise both Olga and Chloe somehow managed to make the otherwise dingy and worn out clothes look sexy. He soon realized that they were both staring at him. It was then he realized that he didn't show them what he looked like without the helmet.

Both Chloe and Olga couldn't help but stare at the Courier. For both of them had their expectations shattered as to what the courier looked like under his helmet. The face of their hero was not the look of some grizzled battle hardened adventurer but a man who looked like he hadn't even gotten out of his early to mid twenties. Olga felt her cheeks turning red, never not even in a hundred years did she think she would find a human attractive. Chloe on the other hand was more taken back by the fact that for a man who said he had been shot in the head twice he didn't look too much worse for wear.

Six could only snicker at their reactions as he turned and began to walk towards the saloon. "Come on you two let's go have that drink I promised."

Both women quickly snapped out of their stupor before both flushing and quickly followed after him.

End of Flashback

Back in the present the three companions continued their long trek to New Vegas. As they walked, Six would tell them everything he knew about the wasteland and both the people and creatures in it as well as some of his adventures.

"And that is how I helped a bunch of crazy Ghouls try and launch themselves into space." Six said.

"Okay human I could believe you traveled to a city of the dead, I could believe you met talking brains in jars and taking drugs and fought a flaming bear, but I refuse to believe that you met a group of talking corpses with a plan to leave the planet in flying machines and the utter madness." Olga argued.

"Suit yourself your "Majesty" but it's true. Trust me you'll see some strange things in this wasteland. Things that make one question their grip on sanity." Six said in an ominous tone.

"So do you think they made it to their new home?" Chloe asked.

Six let out a laugh before turning his head to face Chloe. "Hehe.. No no I don't think they did. Those rockets were not meant for long range space travel besides I found a few bright follower bodies while out exploring and I ran into a few in Novac after the battle at the dam."

Chloe frowned; she was disappointed with the answer she had received about the fate of Jason Bright and his followers. She found them relatable, especially due to her own experience. All they want is to find a home where they could live free of the bigatree that they had to suffer because of the way they look.

To try and change the topic six decided to switch on his pip-boys radio as a means to try and change the topic.

"This is Mr. New Vegas and do I have some news for you. Reports out of New Mexico and Arrizona as well as Texas report that Mexico has completely disappeared from the face of the planet. Many mourn the loss of authentic Mexican Tequila and pricing for the remaining supply is suspected to go up." Mr. New Vegas said over the radio. "This news report is brought to you by Gomorrah. Gomorrah. It'll be our secret. More music just ahead." The radio then started to play Mighty Mighty Man.

The three of them all froze in place and were all shocked from what the radio announcer had said. Olgas mind raced with the revelation that not only did she bring Six to her world but the fact that she had teleported an entire land mass as well. Chloe was looking back and forth between her mistress and Six both were staring at one another. But for herself she started to fear for her queen not knowing how six was going to react. Before either of them could say anything Six suddenly started laughing.

"HAHAHA" Six was suddenly caught in a fit of laughter that he couldn't control himself.

Olgas face turned beet red from embarrassment. "How dare he laugh at me, how dare he make fun of this travesty." She cried in thought. "WHAT'S SO FUNNY?" Olga cried out.

Chloe could only look befuddled at the two of them. Her mistress who was fuming with rage and the Courier who was laughing like a mad man. She didn't know how to react to the situation and could only continue to watch the performance taking place before her.

"Hehehe…. Re… relax Magic Lady." Six said as he managed to catch his breath. "I just find it funny because of how ridiculous it all sounds. I mean we got extremely lucky with my teleporter which means who knows what would have happened to us if you didn't manage to teleport the whole country to your world." Six said as he finally managed to catch his breath.

Chloe suddenly started to laugh as well and even started to cry from the realization. "Bye the God's he's right I almost had my body violated by those disgusting creatures." She soon collapsed to her knees as she continued to cry and process how close she came to a fate worse than death.

Olga quickly raced over to Chloe and knelt down next to her and embraced her in a motherly hug as she attempted to comfort her.

Six, realizing what he had caused, walked over to them before taking a knee and removing his hat. Both women looked him in the eyes and saw that they weren't like the eyes of the Humans of their home. They were the eyes of a man who had seen both wonders and horrors of his world and even if he couldn't remember them. He then stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Chloes shoulder before looking both her and Olga in the eyes.

Taking a deep breath. "Chloe, Olga. I promise you both that I will never allow something like that to ever happen again. You have my word." Six said.

Olga gave him a firm nod and a smile at his vow he had given them she could tell that he did truly care for them even if they had only really known each other for only two days.

Chloe felt her face begin to blush as she looked at six. Both her heart and mind were telling her that she would always be safe when around six. She even knew that he wouldn't break his promise to her or her queen.

….

After a few more hours of travel they decided to make camp near an old billboard for the night. Six managed to gather a decent amount of wood for a campfire while Chloe prepared the meat they had gotten from target practice. Well mostly hers and Sixs kills do to everytime Olga tried to fire a gun she would miss what she was aiming at and had almost come close to hitting both Six and Chloe by accident.

Olga in the meanwhile decided to lean against the billboard and watch as the two experienced warriors set up camp. As she watched she took in her surroundings she noticed the remains of the horseless carriages that Six had called Cars and what seemed to be the long collapsed remains of some kind of building.

"Sir Six!" Ogla said, gaining his attention as he looked up from what he was doing.

"Yeah?" He replied.

Olga let out a sigh before moving off of the billboard before walking over to the others.

"How did your world end up like this?" She asked as she gestured to the dilapidated remains of the old world.

Six looked at her for a second before sitting back. "Well! I guess it's only fair if I explain how my world became the irradiated hellscape you see before you." He said before digging out a cigarette and giving it a light.

Chloe had also taken a seat after she had finished placing their dinner next to the fire. Both her and Olga now sat next to one another staring at six ready to hear the tale of his world.

"Well I guess I'll start from the beginning." He says before flicking the remains of his cigarette away. "It might be hard to believe but over two hundred years ago this land used to be a part of one of the most powerful countries in the world as well as the most technologically advanced as well." Six paused and saw that both women were staring at him like kids in a candy store. He then continued. "This Country was called the United States of America and stretched all across this land. From the east coast to the west over ten thousand miles it truly had to be a magnificent sight. You see back then during what would become the resource wars which was fought against another super power country called China. They both laid claim to the last remaining source of a resource called oil."

"What's Oil?" Chloe asked as she raised her hand like a student.

"Yes I would like to know as well." Olga chimed in. Her curiosity had been peaked by this rare resource that two countries went to war for.

"Well from what I know it's a combustible black liquid that you pump out of the ground and can be refined into a product called gasoline which can be used to power cars, planes, heat homes and a number of other things. Hell, pretty much the entire world ran on it, so when it started to run dry, nations all over the globe started to turn on one another. Alliances were broken. All for the last drops of what remained."

Both Olga and Chloe looked amazed. To think that world could be thrown into such turmoil over a power source.

"Now with oil running out both China and America grew increasingly desperate and eventually they came to blows. You see up north where another country called Canada used to be was an American State called Alaska and it was one of the last places where one could still find oil and both the US and China laid claim to it. And for ten years they went at it. Neither one, willing to back down. Eventually it came to a head in 2077 with the new T-51b power armor in service in the American army the war soon shifted. The Chinese were soon pushed out of Alaska and with American troops pushing into China and the war all but over, people wanted things to go back to normal. But it seemed the Chinese weren't just going to lay down and die. No one really knows who shot first but by then it didn't even matter and so using a weapon called a Nuclear bomb a weapon so powerful that just one could wipe out an entire city.

Both girls were horrified by Six's story. Chloe had curled up into a ball and was shaking as she imagined just how horrible such a weapon could be. Olga herself was struggling to contemplate how any civilization even if it was human could wipe itself out and then she imagined herself back in Garan only this time she and the seven shields had these weapons and wondered if she could do it. Be the one to end the world.

Six looked at them and decided that he should wrap up the story. "And so on October 23rd 2077 the Great War began and in only two hours civilization was wiped out and the two superpowers with them." He finished as he dug a whiskey bottle out of his pocket and took a swing.

"And that sums up how the world went to hell in a handbasket because of greed and 200 hundred years later Humankind survived and we're still making the same mistakes." He finished.

After a few minutes both Chloe and Olga had relaxed enough for them to process everything they were told. In order to take everyone's mind off of the conversation, Six switched on his pip-boys radio once again while the three of them ate.

"You know there's something I don't understand Sir Six." Chloe said as she finished her meal.

"Hmm." Six replied.

"You were able to remember an entire history lecture of your world along with all the other knowledge you have. But you still can't remember your name." Chloe said in a slightly annoyed tone.

"Well what can I say the human mind is an enigma." Six said as he finished his meal.

Olga snickered at his answer before replying." Well I guess that just means that we Elves are superior." She claimed with a proud smile on her lips.

Six just rolled his eyes before replying. "And yet I'm the one whom you recall saved both of you and managed to get you to safety." A sly smirk appeared on his face.

Olgas face soured before she laid down on her bed role and faced away from the Courier.

Six just chuckled and laid down on his role while Chloe did the same on hers. "Well good night Chloe see you guys in the morning." Six said, flashing her a smile.

"Thanks… You as well Six." Chloe said as she quickly rolled away from six as her face once again began to blush.

Soon the sounds of night filled the air of the small camp, all except for Olga who had yet to fall asleep. As she looked out over the wasteland she noticed a strange figure on a far off hill. From what she could tell I had large bulky shoulders, long tube-like arms, and a torso balancing on a wheel. But what made her unsettled was the creature's glowing face and was it smiling.
