The smell of Gunpowder (O.C. X Various Things)

And We're back!

I waa transported to some kind of Military based

???: Welcome to camp Navarro. So you're the new replacement? YOU'RE OUT OF UNIFORM PRIVATE WHERE IS YOUR POWER ARMOR?

Nathan: Uh what? {I look around} You talkin to me?

???: NO YOU BUMBLING MO-RON I'M TALKING TO THE GUY BEHIND YOU

I look behind me and there's a mirror there

Nathan: Hey!

???: ANSWER MY QUESTION MAGGOT. WHERE IS YOUR POWER ARMOR!

Nathan: I... Don't have any?

The man crouched so he could see me eye to eye

???: YOU EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE THAT MAGGOT? TRUTH IS YOU LOST AN EXPENSIVE PIECE OF ARMY ISSUED EQUIPMENT THAT SUIT IS GONNA COME OUT OF YOUR PAY AND YOU'LL REMAIN IN THIS MAN'S ARMY UNTIL YOU ARE {he takes a small breath} 510 YEARS OLD WHICH IS THE NUMBER OF YEARS IT WILL TAKE FOR YOU TO PAY FOR THE MARK II POWER COMBAT ARMOR YOU HAVE LOST. REPORT TO THE ARMORY AND HAVE A NEW SUIT ISSUED TO YOU, THEN REPORT BACK TO ME, PRIVATE! DISMISSED.

Nathan: {Salutes} YES, SERGEANT!

I turn around and start wandering around the base until eventually I use some kind of teleporter and appear in the underground of the base.

Nathan: [Mumbling] Not the weirdest thing I've done

I walk around the underground until eventually I'm in the armory

Armoror: Who're you? I haven't seen you around here before.

Nathan: I'm the new Recruit I was told to get a new suit of Power armor.

The Armoror looks me up and down taking notice of my armor

Armoror: Yeah with that piece of history on you I don't blame you. The armor's in there here's the key.

He hand me a key and I immediately go into the room Taking the power armor and a Gauss rifle before returning to Sergeant to see him speaking with a Vault Dweller.

Sergeant: WHAT? ARE YOU QUESTIONING ORDERS MAGGOT?! IF I TELL YOU TO JUMP, YOU JUMP. IF I TELL YOU TO CRAWL, YOU CRAWL. IF I TELL YOU TO FIGHT, YOU FIGHT. IF I TELL YOU TO DIE FOR THIS COUNTRY, YOU WILL MOST CERTAINLY DIE! HAVE I MADE MYSELF CLEAR?

Vault Dweller: yeah whatever Sarge.

Sergeant: IF I LIKE YOU, YOU CAN CALL ME SARGE! BUT GUESS WHAT? I DON'T LIKE YOU! DO YOU UNDERSTAND

I go up to Sergeant and stand beside the Vault Dweller causing him to notice me in power armor.

Sergeant: A CIVILIAN? HOW IN THE HELL DID A CIVILIAN GET ON THIS BASE? I'LL HAVE SOMEONE'S ASS FOR DINNER! GET THIS CIVILIAN OFF GIVERNMENT PROPERTY

The Vault Dweller is escorted off and Sergeant speaks to me

Sergeant: Excellent! You're in uniform now so I'm going to give you a rare opportunity. We are going to start over as if I never met your sorry ass. Would you like that soldier?

I nod vigorously

Nathan: Yes Sergeant!

Sergeant: Welcome to Camp Navarro. So you're the replacement. What's your name private?

I salute him
Nathan: I'm Nathan, sir!

Sergeant: I AM NOT A SIR, I WORK FOR A LIVING, YOU MO-RON. YOU WILL CALL ME SERGEANT OR SERGEANT DORNAN. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!

Nathan: Yes, Sergeant!

Sergeant: Outstanding. PROCEED ON THE DOUBLE TO THE HANGAR WHERE YOU WILL STAND GUARD DUTY. YOU WILL DO A FINE JOB. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

Nathan: Yes Sergeant!

I start to jog at an even pace to the Hangars where I take post.

30 minutes pass and A Brotherhood Scout is nearing the Hangar so I use my Gauss Rifle and kill him... Surely Sergeant wouldn't mind me just robbing a dead body right? I grab a cube I had in my pocket and approach the dead corpse. Using the cube I see the valuables on him one of which being a Map showing Brotherhood of Steel bunkers around America. I need to show this to Sergeant Dornan. Or I could go alone, Lord knows I could. But would that be fun? Hell no!

Nathan: Sergeant!

Dornan: WHY ARE YOU AWAY FROM YOUR POST SOLDIER? GO BACK TO YOUR POST.

Nathan: Sergeant Dornan! I found an Enemy map! I think we sh-

An explosion from a ways out shook Navarro and when I looked at it... It was a cloud.

Dornan: What the... THAT'S THE OIL RIG!

I grab hold of Dornan's arm and Rush out of Camp Navarro dragging him along until we reach an old building.

Dornan: YOU'RE A DANGER TO US ALL!

he reaches for his sidearm but I stop that by kicking him in his shin denting the Power armor. He goes for a punch from his Right fist and I dodge it before punching him in the chest once again denting the power armor and knocking him down near the Gauss rifle I approach him.

Nathan: I don't want to do this Dornan. But I will if you force my hand.

Dornan: DAMN YOU SPY

He presses the barrel of the gauss rifle into my chest before pulling the trigger and shooting me paralyzing me for a few seconds and sending me back a few feet allowing Dornan to stand over my body and start stomping on my chest doing damage but not enough. He stands with one foot on my chest and reloads the gauss rifle allowing me to use my fist and pull his leg causing him to stumble and allowing me to kick him in the chest knocking him back a little

Dornan: I COULD DO THIS ALL DAY!

I punch him in the face completely knocking him out.

Nathan: So can I.

I take notice of the now destroyed interior and scavenge a few boards to cover the entrance to the building as I lighted a fire in the fireplace shedding light upon the room. I replace the power armor with my Crusader armor and sit down on my power armor allowing me to stay awake the entire night watching over the little shack.

(Yes yes I realize I said I'd completely rewrite it and that this chapter is sub par but I'm trying to keep the writing style the same so it doesn't do a 180 from one chapter to the other. 1020 words)
