Homecoming

Epilogue

A few weeks later...

Albert was on his way to The Republic of Dave to check in on them. Although, he didn't have any of his companions with him today. He was still called the LONE Wanderer after all.

He took a moment to sit down and rest for a few minutes. He pulled out a bottle of Aqua Pura and started drinking it while checking the map on his Pip-Boy. But then he noticed something odd, there were hostiles nearby according to his radar.

He shut off his Pip-Boy and looked in the reflection of the screen and saw that there were a group of people a few yards behind him. He could tell it was Mack and his coup.

'They're not gonna stop, are they?' Albert said in his head.

Albert pretended to act like he didn't know they were following him, and continued walking.

He was near Old Olney, and got an idea. While he, Fawkes, and Dogmeat had killed most of the Deathclaws there, they had missed a few. Plus, some new Deathclaws had hatched from the eggs they had missed. Albert was stealthy enough that he knew how to sneak past Deathclaws... but Allen and his goons didn't.

Albert went through Old Olney, and the coup followed him into it. Albert then left Old Olney and waited on top of a nearby hill for the carnage to start.

It was quiet for a few moments, and then he heard the Deathclaws roaring, and the screams of Mack and his coup.

After a minute, it was quiet again. Albert thought that they all were dead, but then he saw Wally running out of Old Olney, covered in blood and crying like a baby. He was also clutching his father's baseball cap.

Albert decided to go confront Wally. Wally was sitting on the ground, still crying. He looked up and saw Albert standing in front of him.

"You! You did this! You got them all killed! Those lizard things killed them all! Their blood and body parts were everywhere! My dad was ripped in half like a piece of paper right in front of me!" Wally cried.

"You all were trying to kill me first. This is just my revenge for all the shit you put me through" said Albert.

"This is all your fault! You ruined my life! I have no family, no home, nothing!" cried Wally.

"Well now you know what it's like. To be forced out of your own home, to watch your father die right in front of you, and to be all alone in a post apocalyptic wasteland" Albert said.

Wally reached for his baseball bat, which he had attached to his back, but Albert shot him in the shoulder with Ol' Painless.

"Don't even think about it" Albert said as he aimed his gun at Wally's face, and then spat in it.

"Please don't kill me! I don't wanna die!" Wally begged.

Albert thought about this for a moment.

"Nah. You're not worth it. It would be much more satisfying to leave you to suffer out here. I doubt you'll last long, anyway. But if I ever see you again... I will kill you slowly and painfully. So you better pray that we never cross paths again" said Albert.

"We won't! You'll never see me again! I swear!" Wally cried.

"Good. Now get the hell out of my sight" said Albert.

Wally got up and made a run for it. Albert had never seen him run so fast.

For those of you who wanted me to kill Wally, I let him live because I wanted this book to be lore-friendly. Wally is, sort of, still alive in the Fallout 4 Creation Club add-on I mentioned two chapters ago. He also has a chest in the add-on that contains many things, including a baseball cap and bat. I like to think that it was the baseball bat he had in Fallout 3 and this fanfiction, and the baseball cap was his father's that he kept to remember him by. Anyways, this is the final chapter of this book. It's been a fun ride and I enjoyed writing it. Thank you all for reading.
