On paper, a new location sounds great. New adventures, new people, new shenanigans, new guns, new friends, and new enemies. Now? I woke up in a wasteland that was not teeming with any ounce of life like there was nothing. No sand, no green hills, nothing. Just the rocky plains without any life whatsoever in sight. I have just gotten up from getting my face properly acquainted with the hard granite ground.

As I got my bearings I quickly looked around. I only saw the empty desert rocky wasteland, the crimson skies, and the moon looking like it was shot into p- He had to look back at the moon twice and rub his eyes before realizing this was no dream. And a sizeable chunk of the moon was missing.

"What the fuck?"

Suddenly, so many theories were running through my head about why the moon was like that—ranging from superweapons to extraterrestrials. And either way, those have a lot of holes that it isn't even a theory to begin with. Such as there isn't enough TNT to turn the moon into that. But… I only have one theory that may make more sense. I may be in another world. I quickly checked my Pip-Boy to check the map but instead, I was greeted by a prompt that stated:

Can't connect to any RobCo Industries Satellites!

Initiating Protocol: NEW WORLD

Good luck Randall Vickers!

Well… This is new. Very new. A new protocol that Mr. House failed to mention before. It's obvious now that I'm stuck in a new world. Not only that but the only place nearby on this wasteland is a castle called the Evernight. I looked further but couldn't find any more because the moon is up so I doubt I can get enough sunlight for the pip-boy to get its mapping feature to work properly.

And my sister is not here as well. Damn. The worst-case scenario just happened. And our luck just happened to be shit as soon as V pulled the trigger. Fuck… Alright, at least things aren't so bad…

Oh, who am I kidding? I'm stuck in another wasteland with no life, crimson skies are watching over me, my sister isn't anywhere in sight, and scary black creatures are approaching me… I had to double-take on what I had thought and saw what seemed to be a Yao Guai mixed with the parts of a… wolf? I think that's a wolf's head or skull, with bones sticking out of him too. I digitized Lucky into my palms and aimed at the Yao Guai Wolf hybrid as it started charging toward me like an animal. But I have something that it doesn't have.

Brains, and the V.A.T.S. System! So I activated V.A.T.S. and the world went to a grinding halt as the Yao Wolf's limbs had been highlighted. Then I noticed the name. Beowolf. I wonder how the Pip-Boy managed to know the name of the creature… Hmmm… A question I'll ask Mr. House if I ever manage to get back home with my sister. I picked out both of the front legs of the Beowolf three times and saw that it was enough to kill it. I took the chance and as soon as time started moving again I quickly shot the forelegs of the Beowolf and saw that it exploded into a bloody black mist in front of me. I wiped the blood of the Beowolf off of my visor before I scoffed at the death of the thing.

"I killed coyotes tougher than you!"

As I walked over to the Beowolf it started disintegrating into nothing but specks of dust, which confused me even more about this world… That and curious too. As I stood there watching the Beowolf disintegrating I suddenly sensed a ton of movement just behind me. I turned around and saw that not only were there more creatures just like that beowolf. They also came in different animals that I hadn't seen in my entire life. And they seem to be mad… or hungry, which is way worse. I quickly looked at my map and marked the Evernight Castle to know where to go. It's either that or I die and I am not planning on dying as dinner. I grabbed my Ranger Sequoia and Mysterious Magnum and started runnin' and gunnin' toward the castle screaming.

"COME ON YOU CREATURES OF THE DAMNED! COME AND GET ME!"

As I started running 4 those monsters were heading straight towards me. Remember: deep breaths, steady hands, aim for the legs. I fired 4 shots, one to the closest and 3 shots next to the creature. I guess I got lucky with that shot. I continued running and shooting the 2 creatures left with 6 more shots and all of them, like the first creature he killed, exploded into a bloody mess before disintegrating into dust. As I didn't have time to reload my revolvers I quickly digitized them, took out Li'l Devil and A Light Shining In Darkness, and continued runnin' and gunnin' through the horde of the darkness. I did not survive the Mojave just to die in this shithole.

I noticed that Joshua's .45 Auto was taking out more black creatures than Li'l D over here with 2 or even 1 bullet, which is enough to kill them. It's probably because I loaded them with Hollow Points, or maybe something else… Either way, I have many questions regarding these creatures of the dark. I continued running and gunning until I felt a strong gust of wind behind me and as I quickly glanced at the source I saw this humongous bird flying towards me.

"Fuck me…"

I placed the two pistols into the holsters inside this armor before materializing Christine's rifle and jumped onto a creature's head and quickly turned around to try and hit the big bird with style but just noticed it too late that its talons were already in front of me and grabbed onto my body before it's flying away from the rest of the creatures. I managed to hold onto my rifle as I was being flown away from the dark creatures. I don't know whether to be glad or not, I digitized my rifle along with both of my pistols on my holsters as I checked my map to see where I'm going. With the direction the bird is going, it looks like it's headed straight to the castle itself.

Well, this is different, I used to shoot flying bugs and birds before but I haven't been caught by one. Well, at least the wind is nice, speaking of which I removed my helmet and digitized it before really taking in the wind. I checked my Pip-Boy and saw that this bird was still heading towards the castle which now that I think about it, it's quite weird that a giant bird is nesting inside a castle. The castle is probably abandoned.

As I was practically at the mercy of this big ass bird I looked down to see we were at approximately 1000 ft above the ground. Full of what seemed to be purple spikes that had pierced the ground all over the land. I quickly equipped my helmet just in case this bird let go of me. So after roughly 5 minutes or so I finally saw the castle in the distance. It's… unique I have to give whoever built this castle that. Suddenly the bird started flying faster and not long after we were already closer to the castle. The bird flew around the castle before it arrived at what seemed to be some sort of landing platform and this damn creature soared towards the platform and let me go as soon as we were close to the ground and that damn bastard started to fly away. THAT BASTARD WILL FUCKING DIE!

I digitized the AMR onto my hands and loaded Match rounds into the magazine before loading said magazine inside the gun. I cocked the rifle and aimed at the big palooka before I breathed deeply. My heartbeat slowed down and the environment surrounding me was non-existent as nothing mattered other than me and my target. I focus my aim on the big bird and…

BANG

Just like clockwork, the head of the bird was missing from its body as the Match rounds did its trick. I also forgot to mention I didn't bother to equip the suppressor on the AMR so my ears are ringing a bit. I massaged one of my ears hoping to suppress the ringing. As the ringing subsided I noticed a shadow getting larger, and the footsteps were louder. I digitized Lucky onto my right arm before quickly turning around and aiming at the first thing I saw. The first person is this cracked porcelain doll person who managed to get close to me, I was taken a step back due to 1. The cracked porcelain skin of hers. 2. Because she managed to sneak up so close to me without me hearing her footsteps all that much. And 3. Because her eyes are unique. Dark irises mixed in with red blood pupils.

"Please, put that firearm of yours away. I didn't bring you here just for me to hurt you, you know?"

Wait… What the fuck does she mean to bring me here?

"Bring me here? Forgive me but if you can't tell that huge ass bird brought me here M-"

"I know, I've seen it, including how you managed to dispose of it too. I have got to say, your weapon of choice is overkill, but your aim is quite impressive. And for why you are here?"

The woman started walking towards me slowly and by instinct, I went to aim my gun. Suddenly it was whipped out of my hand, and red rope-looking noodles from out of nowhere quickly bound my arms around me as I couldn't find the origin of that red noodler thing, the woman grabbed me by the neck, removed my helmet, and started dragging me to the edge of the platform.

"I will give you a chance. A chance to convince me why I should not drop you off this landing platform you wretched soul."

HOLY FUCKING SHIT! THAT IS SO HIGH! JESUS CHRIST WHY IS HER CASTLE SO HIGH?! I just gulped and looked down before looking at her. Trying to get a bead on her, reading her facial expressions and around our surroundings. Hmmm… Alright, I can smooth talk my way out of this.

"I just noticed that there's no one here but you. You must feel lonely huh? I know how that feels, that vacant empty feeling all by your lonesome… That silent white noise in your head, how painful it must feel to be on your own…"

The woman seemed to soften her grip on me and even her facial expressions softened. It's working! I sighed before looking at her with puppy dog eyes… That's the correct words, right?

"I know you don't want to feel alone anymore. I can see it in your eyes: the sadness, the emptiness. So I want to offer you my… friendship. I don't expect anything from you, I just… it feels nice to talk to someone. So, will you accept my offer, Miss?"

…

The woman turned around and gently placed me on the ground, the red noodles around me had been released and I saw this floating orb with those red noodles below it. Interesting…

"I accept your offer. And you will address me as your Queen so on and so forth. Now come with me, there is a test to make sure my servants are up to standards. So make sure you succeed where others have failed."

The wo- sorry I mean The Queen here, started walking back inside her castle and since I dug myself into this rabbit hole, I might as well dig deeper. I can't back out now if I want to live for more than 10 minutes in this world.

As we entered the castle it was empty. The long empty and surprisingly wide hallways were only illuminated by candles. Lots and lots of candles. I've seen places better lit and decorated than this depressing castle.

"May I ask a question, Your Majesty?"

The Queen glared back at me and I just stared back at her with a small smile. Trying to be respectful and also not afraid of her at the same time.

"What is it?"

"Well, I was wondering why you don't have any decorations around your castle. Most people with power always have decorations like paintings and plants somewhere. But your castle only has these crystal things and candles lit around."

"I simply don't see the appeal of decorations around the castle. Only the bare essentials are enough for me and my subordinates."

"I see… But my Queen. Most real queens and kings of the past decorate their castles as a way to show their status and wealth and to liven up the place. And this place is no better than that of a lowlife."

The Queen suddenly turned back to me and was visibly angry at me.

"What?"

I started sweating as soon as she turned around and looked at me. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK.

"Look, I just think that because you are a queen you should look and act like one. So you won't be traveling down these empty and depressing corridors anymore. And besides, I think it'll make the castle look nice."

I instinctively bowed just for her to grab my chin and force me to look at her. She's pretty scary and also beautiful in her unique way. I haven't met anyone like her and I have slept with a lot of women in the past whether I like to admit it or not. The Queen then turned around before looking back at me.

"I will take your suggestion into consideration. Now let us not waste any more time than we have to."

Minutes passed as we wandered the long empty halls without talking. It was awkward and the atmosphere was suffocating at best. A few more minutes pass as we walk down the halls and afterwards, we enter a small arena that is illuminated by candles. Lots, and lots of candles all placed on top of, and around, what seemed to be marble pillars? Me and The Queen walked inside the arena before she looked at me with those eyes that could probably pierce my skin.

"In this arena, you will fight against an onslaught of Grimm. Kill them all and you shall serve me as I see fit. I wish you the best mister."

She walked away from the arena and into the darkness as I was left here, alone. Okay, that went way too fast. Alright, to recap. That bitch controls these abominations called Grimm, which I still find hard to believe, and I am now here to prove myself to her. To become… her butler. This might be the worst thing I've ever gotten myself into. Well, I ain't gon' die in this depressing castle that's for certain.

I digitized my AMR back into the Pip-Boy and pulled out the All-American. A semi-automatic carbine used for close to medium-range fights. Considering that those Grimm fucks take a lot of bullets even from my high-powered guns so it's quantity over quality this time around. This means using pistols too and the Riot Shotgun as well… I need a better shotgun than the Riot, to be honest. I checked my holsters to see the Light Shining in Darkness and Li'l Devil inside. I materialized the Riot Shotgun and loaded it with a mix of Dragon's Breath and Flechette rounds. Or as I like to call it, Thermite Mix. I holstered the All-American on my back as I looked around while holding my shotgun.

Suddenly my instincts kicked in as I heard faint footsteps around me. I activated V.A.T.S and saw 1. 2… 5 Beowolves stalking me in the shadows. I selected the nearest Beowolf and targeted its head about 8 times. Just enough to kill him. I quickly finished targeting and let V.A.T.S do its thing as I unloaded shell after shell and for every second shot fire spewed out of the bore and landed onto the bony exterior of the bastard which was more than enough as its head was obliterated and started dissipating into fine black mist.

I quickly reloaded as two beowolves rushed out of the shadows trying to do a pincer attack. To be fair it is a good tactic. I quickly ran to the one on my right and as that beowolf was about to swipe that big claw of his at me I immediately slid down below it and fired more shells into its stomach and as I was now behind it aaaaand it was dead. Good. I continued firing onto the other Beowolf but only my flechettes seemed to be piercing through that thick skull of the bastard as my dragon's breath only ignited its fur on fire. More Beowolves joined the party, the more the merrier I suppose, I reloaded the Riot Shotgun and grabbed the All-American in my other free hand as I started firing in different directions. I ran towards a Beowolf and jumped on its head as I spun in the air and fired both guns mid-air like a madman. I rolled forward and looked around to see the remaining three beowolves were eliminated.

I reloaded my Riot with only Flechette rounds and AP rounds for the All-American before I looked up to see… Tiny Bark Radscorpions in black and white? I targeted one of them with V.A.T.S only to find out that the small bark radscorp's actual names are Baby Death Stalker. Really swung for the fences ain'tcha Pip-Boy? There are a lot of them so I holstered my All-American for now and fired twice at the Juvenile Stalkers with my riot shotgun as it finally made short work with these Grimm fuckers. Also, Grimm is a bit on the nose for a species ain't it?

I quickly ran around the Juvie Stalkers and kept my distance as I kept firing the riot, effectively clearing these smaller ones. This is getting pretty fun not gonna lie. As I finished killing off the remaining Juvenile Death Stalkers I looked around to see if there was more.

Certainly enough, there was more.

A mix of bigger Beowolves with more bone armor on them along with one giant Death Stalker and a dozen of… I don't fucking know they just have tusks on their mouth things. I activated V.A.T.S. and selected one of those tusk things to see their names.

Boarbatusks. I expected something better but fuck it, it's what the Pip-Boy says it's what I'll call them.

But fuck me that's a lot of them. And they're quickly circling on me. And wow that Death Stalker is big, hell the bastard's as big as the Queen Radscorpion! I quickly checked my Pip-Boy as the horde of the abyss rushed towards me with lethal intent. I looked up at the oncoming Grimm before activating the implant. The world started slowing down and I activated it 5 more times before I digitized the All-American pulled out the Grenade Launcher from the Pip-Boy as its replacement and immediately loaded it with incendiary ammo. I also pulled out the cosmic knife from my Pip-Boy and placed it on the back of my belt. I have about 15 seconds left—time to get to work.

I quickly ran to the Big Deathstalker before I mindlessly shot a single grenade behind me and pumped the GL before I placed it on my back. Swiftly avoiding the slow attacks of these dumbass Grimm and jumped on one's head before I jumped over another and another as I made my way to the Deathstalker and I got close enough that I managed to land on its body.

Afterwards, I continued onwards to the Stalker's many eyes and as I got close I immediately pulled out my cosmic knife, and pierced the thick… endoskeleton? Endoskeleton. Like a hot knife through butter, I stabbed it in the eyes before leaving it there as an impromptu handle. I turned around and aimed my riot at its stinger before I started shooting every shell this thing had before time began to return to its normal pace.

As soon as time returns to normal the stinger of the Deathstalker has been destroyed but the bastard is still not dead. I quickly placed the riot on my back before grabbing the grenade launcher and grabbed my knife as the stalker kept moving around. I saw the big beowolves trying to get on top of the huge ass deathstalker but because it was moving wobbly most of them tried to move away while an unlucky few died from the deathstalker's claws.

"HAHAHA! YOU DUMBASSES!"

I shot a couple of times at the beowolves and boarbatusks around me lighting the surroundings on fire. I love incendiary shells, thank you, Vera for teaching me how to make them. It's time to finish this. I digitized the grenade launcher back before I removed my cosmic knife from the eye socket of the deathstalker as I jumped onto the head of a beowolf and started hopping from head to head as I made it to the other side of the arena. Soon I was there I pulled out my favorite toy from the Divide. Red Glare. I loaded it with a normal rocket canister and aimed at the remaining Grimm.

And then I pulled the trigger.

"O SAY CAN YOU SEEEEEEEE-"

I held the trigger as a volley of rockets traveled out of the barrel and headed toward the Grimm. As I hear the tune of the Pre-war National Anthem playing from the Red Glare.

"BY THE DAWN'S EAAAAARLY LIIIIIGHT!"

Chunks and bones of the Grimm splattered around the arena as the volley had finished and smoke covered the area from the rockets. Oh, I LOVE YOU RED GLARE! The celebration was cut short as I saw the pincer of the deathstalker about to catch me so in what seemed to be an instant I ducked just barely dodging the pincer. I quickly ran around the arena and activated V.A.T.S once more and it automatically selected the Deathstalker. Which is almost dead. Time to end the fucker.

I selected the Deathstalker as much as I could before finishing it. I quickly forgot that it was empty so I had to reload it and as the dumbass tried to attack me from my spot before V.A.T.S helped me aim at the body of the big palooka and pulled the trigger.

"AND THE ROCKET'S REEEEED GLAAAARE! THE BOMBS BURSTING IN AAAAAAAAAIR!"

At some point, I couldn't even hear the Red Glare singing as the rockets gave me tinnitus temporarily. As the smoke cleared I saw the Grimm become dust as it flew away into nothingness. I checked around me just to see if there were more. And none are lurking in the dark thankfully enough.

As I heard clapping from behind me I turned around and by instinct aimed the Red Glare at my soon-to-be mistress and boss, The Queen. Not flinched at the fact that I was aiming an automatic rocket launcher at her. I digitized the Red Glare back into my Pip-Boy.

"Impressive. Tomorrow the training begins, I will make sure you have the necessary skills to serve me. But for now, you will rest. A subject of mine will escort you there." And that subject comes out of the shadows, that subject being the floating orb Grimm with the red spiky tentacles.

"But before I leave you with the Seer, I will need your name."

Considering that I'm not in New Vegas anymore I doubt anyone will know my name here.

"Randall. Randall Vickers."

"Greetings Randall, I know you will do fine serving me."
