A Burning World (A Fallout Fanfic)

The Courier

(My Courier.)

"Uuuugggghhhh!" I'm so BORED!" Whined Six. "Why did we have to come so early?"

"I didn't say you had to come. You're the one who decided to follow me." Boone replied, not moving his eye from the scope.
"Why don't you take your gun and walk around the perimeter."

"Fiiiiine." Six groaned

As he's walking around he sees a pile of geckos. He walks a little bit closer and picks up a rock and throws it at one.

"Ha, they're already dead! This is great, now we can leave!" Six yelled in excitement.

As he turned to walk back he heard something. He turned around to find 4 geckos alive and pissed. Then 20 more came out of a hole behind them and they ran towards him.

"SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!" He yelled as he ran back to Boone.

Boone was still in the same position he was in when Six left. He was whistling Big Iron until he heard screams behind him. He turned to find Six running with a herd of geckos behind him.

Boone rolled his eyes as he began to shoot down the geckos.

As he shot the last one down, Six began running backwards to see if he could stop.

"Good jo-" Six tripped and fell, knocking himself unconscious.

Boone sighed. "Really?"

He hopped down from the rock, grab Six by the ankle and dragged him back to the Lucky 38.

~1 hour later~

The door opened to Six's hotel room, to find their other friends, Arcade and Raul.

Arcade turned around from his project. "Hey you're back! I was wondering when you'd... is he dead?"

Boone dropped Six's ankle and shut the door. "Sadly no. He tripped and hit his head. Rual, you mind helping me bring this idiot to his bed."

Raul nodded his head a placed his cup on the table and grabbed Six's shoulders.

~12 hours later~

Six groaned has he began to wake up. Placing his hand on the back of his head where he got hit. His vision was a little messed up but over all he was fine.

"Mornin' Mjo."

Sox jumped. "AAHHH- WOAH! WOAH! SSHHIIITTT!"

He fell backwards in between the bed and the wall. Raul shook his head and walked back to his hotel room.

"Ow! Uhh, hey Raul? You mind helping me out, bud? I'm kinda stuck....Raul? Rrraaauuull? RauL! Come back! Pleeeaaase!" Six cried.

~30 minutes~

"Alright let's head downstairs and get some drinks before we head out." Boone instructed.

"One of you are buying though." Six said pointing at Raul. "He left me while I was stuck. Also, I'm broke."

As they began to walk out of The Strip with drinks in hand, Six picked up a signal on his pip boy.

"Sweet it's a new signal. Hey let's follow it and see what's over there." Suggested Six.

"I guess, we really don't have anything better to do." Boone said taking a sip of his whiskey.

"Can you tell where it's coming from, Arcade?" Raul asked.

He scoffed. "Of course I can. Depending on how far it is, I won't be able to pin point the exact location."

"There's no need to be cocky about it." Six mumbled.

He yanked Six's left arm and began to work. Soon he was able to find out where the signal was coming from.

"It's coming from... Boston?" Arcade finally said.

"Boston?" Raul and Boone said at the same time in the same confused tone.

"Boston?" Six excitedly screamed.
He's being looking for something knew to do. He's been around the entire Mojve at least twice. "Lets go!"

"What?" The three of them asked.

"No, no, no, no. We are not walking all the way to Boston." Arcade protested.

"Why not? It's like what Boone said, we have anything better to do." Six whined

"1, we'll have to stock up on a ton of supplies. 2, we have no idea what kind of gangs are in the other states. And 3, it'll take a forever to get there." Arcade listed. He looked up.

"Where did you guys go?"

"We're over here!" Six waved at Arcade.

"Why?"

"Well you were talking and I got bored so I walked over here and this guy said he can take us if we pay extra." Six yelled.

Arcade sighed and made his way over to the rest of them.

~11 days later~

The wagon came to a stop and all them men got up and stretched.

"Hell ya! We're finally here!" Six said. He was the most excited out of all of them. He acted like a little kid going on vacation for the first time.

"Thank you, señor. Have a good day." Raul said while handing the man a bag of caps.

"You too. Stay safe. Here they have people that the locals call, The boogie men of the Commonwealth. They take people and no one sees them again"

"Really?"

"Yeah. They're some kind of robot that can easily pass off as a human. Well, I'll leave y'all to it." He cracked his whip, and left.

Raul stood there instantly regretting coming with.

"I think this was a bad idea." Raul said as he walked up to the guys.

"Why?" Six asked.

"Well he ju-" Raul was cut off by a loud sound from the sky.

A vertibird dropped off a group of Brotherhood soldiers.

"Oh shit. I didn't know they had the Brotherhood here." Six said while loading his gun.

"Brotherhood? You mean the Brotherhood of Steel. The faction that Veronica was apart of?" Arcade asked.

"The ones you killed?" Said Boone.

"Yep, that's them. They're a bunch of assholes in power armor with a technology fetish." Six said.

After the soldiers retreated, two people slowly walked out.

Then, the girl with black hair dropped her gun to her side and put her hands up.
