Fallout: NV Time to get a move along

Freeside Fun!

There it was, the place I had never been to, but the name was definitely something that sparked a cord in me. New Vegas. Something still wasn't clicking in my head though. What or who was here? "Come on," Sully said, leading us to a pathway away from the big, bright lights of New Vegas. I could see the giant tower that I had seen in the distance. It was enormous up close..or as close as we could get. We aren't actually inside New Vegas's gates, just outside at Gun Runner's Arsenal. "I'd like to take two.." Sully was getting new gadgets and technology for some projects he was working on. I'd forgotten about his knack for creation. Something just wasn't sitting right for me. We were so close to this place..as soon as we arrived here, the place lit up like a Christmas tree! Or so it seemed. I began to side step out of everyone's way sneakily. "Jasmine," Revi called under her breath, trying not to gain anyone's attention. "Where are you going?" I took a bigger side step until I was away from the group, turning and running toward the giant wall separating us from Vegas, putting an ear to it. I couldn't exactly hear anything in particular. I continued to ignore the girl even as she appeared by my side. "H-help me see over this wall!" I whispered loudly. She only stared, nodded weakly shrugging and doing her little wall trick to get up there. She used the broken pieces of fence and metal balancing her weight on the tips of her feet as she peeked over. "What do you see?" She frowned. "A kid eating a dead...rat?!" I scrunched my nose. She flew down. "Here." Then she laced her hands together "Put your foot hr and I'm gonna lift you up so you can at least see over there. She did exactly that, but I hadn't expected her to be so strong. What really happened was I was lifted up high enough over her head and I grabbed the fence pieces and metal pulling myself over. I fell onto the kid eating the dead rat. My eyes bugged out of my head. The kid wasn't moving. "JASMINE!!" Revi shouted, probably drawing the attention of everyone now. "What the hell is going on?!" Remy shouted. "Rev? Where is Jasmine?" Sully asked in confusion. "Over the wall!" I heard before I could hear shuffling and crunching and then Revi popped up over the wall next to me. "REVI" The next sister, Reilly flipped over to retrieve her and then followed by Remy and finally Sully. "Well. Good to know you didn't fall in the darkest recesses of hell," The little one said, about to help me up to take our leave. "NO! I know I need to be here..there's something I need to find." I stood up examining the land around me. Definitely not New Vegas. But we're damn sure close to it.

Wandering around the place just outside New Vegas was nothing but trouble. Around almost every corner was a fucking junkie needing a dick lick, a fix or just the 'sight of my own blood!' "What are you looking for?" Remy spoke up after the third junkie was put on his back. "I..Don't remember..but I know it's here!" I continued to look around the dark area lighting my Pip Boy's light. The light began to flicker for a few seconds and in another minute the brightness emitting from the device died. "Damn..." We stood in the dark, taking in the strong smell of the dead and the faint sound of music from somewhere nearby. "What is that?" Running toward the sounds blindly, around a corner the right of me was the flashiest building I'd seen in this 'Freeside' place. King's school of Impersonation it read. "What the he-" I was cut off. "Here! The king has chosen you to be taken under his-" The guy that had cut off my out burst was promptly cut off when Revi smashed a fist into his lip. "I don't give a fuck about any king!" That was some funny crap, a tear formed in the corner of my eye when I'd seen that shit. HA! Priceless!

We'd finally made it to the gates of Vegas from the shit smelling area of Freeside. "Halt! You shall not pass without proper ID. If no ID is present you may pay the entrance fee of 5000 caps!" The electronic voice was loud. "What?" I yelled in the robot's face...er screen. "What the hell? Where do we get an ID from? And who out here has fuckin' 5000 caps you bucket of bolts!?" Sully pulled me to the side in an instant. "Hey, I have an idea." He took the arm that had my Pip boy and started to tinker with it. "What are you-" "SHH!" He pulled me further into the dark so they couldn't see what he was up to. I guess. "There, I fixed your light, added a little something special and...hold on" He began to place something new onto it. Meanwhile a crazed junky made their way past the girls and past the gates robot guards..but not for long. In seconds he was fried like a piece of bacon that was emitted from one of the guard's many defenses. "Uuuh..S-sully. That robot just fried that guy, how do you expect us to get in?" He ignored me. "All you need to do is shoot at the sensor on the top of his head...um I meant screen whatever." "That's the thing that looks like a tiny satellite dish." I was truly confused. "What the hell is a satellite dish?"

"Dammnit it! A-a satellite dish is...JUST...aim for the tiny round thing on the top of his monitor. It usually spins around, I got the other two just get the main guard." I turned on my light to see what he had done. One of the most notable was the light's new intensity and the new pieces added. "That's the surprise, just press the button next to the light to fire and use the tiny dial to tune it's intensity." "Woah wait fire!? Fire what?" He shook his head and pushed me back out into the light. "DO IT!" He shouted urging me to hurry because he had already taken out the other two. Shakily I pressed the button he had informed me to pointing my bent arm at the robot's sensor. The first time I missed. "Causing trouble?" It said the next moment was the scariest shit I'd seen in a long time. The robot's hands and arms started to produce rockets and missiles. and promptly began to fire. STRAIGHT AT ME! "Move you idiot!" Al of the girls had jumped out of the way, including Sully, but Remy had been the one to save me before I was spread across the parking lot. The explosion of the rockets pushed us further down the dark pathway and a nearby car blew up making an even bigger mess. "Shoot!" They all shouted at me. I shot again, but avoided another missile headed for my legs and missed once again. Revi made her way around to the back of the predator. In two swings she did the job for me. She knocked the sensor off in one swing and damaged it's right firing arm in another moment. Reilly flew onto it next knocking it down before forcing her bandaged hand through it's screen and ripping it's wires out. That wild chapter was done.

Inside the gates we veered off to the side to assess everyone's status. "You good Reilly?" Sully asked "Yeah, you three good?" She asked in return, flexing her now bloodied and bandaged hand. "You're bl-" "Don't worry about me..This is just the tip of the ice berg." She hissed in pain, but managed to keep cool. "We need different clothes. We look obvious," Remy added and we all looked down. "These people have money, and we need to at least look as if we can afford to walk through those gates. For the most part we found our clothes from some guests that were visiting. "This shit is ugly!" Reilly said, pulling the stained business suit on. "It'll do ok." I say while pulling up the worn stockings up my fit legs. Out of the corner of my eye I'd sworn I'd seen a flash of the past. Hearing a sexy and smooth but familiar deep rumble of a voice. "Yeah! These broads can't handle the Ben-man Swank." I snapped my head to the side to glance out of the alleyway we were dressing in..and there he was. The fucker that shot me. "Yeah yeah Benny..we've heard this all before." Benny. It was him, he wore the same clean checkered coat that day too. "I'll kill him!"
