- Chapter 1
- The year
- The year is 2072 nuclear warfare has taken out most of D.C. and most of the world; it has created mutations of humans, animals and has gotten the interest of aliens due to intensely high radiation levels out. The world has had to adapt to the surroundings. Most of the world went in these utopias called vaults where everyone had everything they needed to have until all of the radiation had blown over but the ones who were not so lucky went to cities that hadn’t been destroyed and repaired them and that is how megaton (the city in which Ralf lives and is made from spare parts found off of buildings found from the nuclear warfare, its religious group consist of them worshipping the bomb in the center that had never exploded) was born. Ralf was never the center of attention but his girlfriend, Maggie, was the most popular person in megaton so it made him popular also he is 6’ 2’’ and is full of muscle and everyone thinks he is a good guy.
- Chapter 2
- The whole town of megaton is called to a town meeting,
- “I have called you all here to inform you of something vital.”, Said sheriff Ford seriously
- “you all know our caravan of brahmin was reported to have disappeared correct?”, the town nods
- “Well the cause of death has been reported “, there is a long pause
- “Super mutants”, the crowd explodes with cries and anger
- “calm down!”, shouts sheriff Ford. It doesn’t seem to have any affect. A gunshot booms throughout the town, the crowd goes quiet
- “thank you officer Jerico, any questions?”, most of the town raises their hand
- “We will never have enough time to answer all these questions Ford”, Jerico whispers into Ford’s ear
- “Alright if you have a question that is just important you your own family put your hand down”, says Ford half of the town puts their hands down
- “There is still almost 40 hands up sir.”, Jerico says into fords ear
- “This is what we are going to do. I will chose 5 people to ask their question so if you do not think your question is completely vital to this the put your hand down”, says ford and other 20 people put their hands down slowly “okay now this is a reasonable number, I will chose you, you, you, you, and you”, he says pointing at each person, Ralf being one. “Now come up on stage so you we can all hear you.”, They all come up in this order Steven, Alfred, Rex Ralf, and Tyrone.
- “How will we get water, we are almost out and we will half to resort on drinking radiated water.”, Says Steven nervously.
- Sheriff Ford responds” I do not have a planned for that Steven, Steven do you know the old pipes that run from here to the underground pools of water that have not been radiated?”,
- “Those have been abandoned years ago Ford”, someone random from the crowd says in despair.
- “yes I know, they need you have work done to fix them, Steven seeing that you are the towns plumber do you think you can fix them?”
- “Yes I will try”, says Steven awkwardly
- “Alright next question, Steven you can go sit now”
- “What about the super mutants do you think that they will attack the town?”, Asks Alfred
- “This has been confirmed by cornel Richards, the sheriff from tenpenny tower, he has reported that a group of 40 super mutants have been heading north east toward megaton” ,Responds Ford as the town goes silent. “Now if we intercept them we will be able to kill them and not have them touch the town”
- “But who would do that?!”, someone random from the crowd yells
- “Only the bravest, smartest, and toughest of all warriors could go up against a guild of 40 super mutants” says ford “Ant volunteers?”, 30 seconds roll by with no volunteers but then Ralf volunteers
- “No you can’t Ralf!”, yells Ralf’s mom from the crowd
- “But mom I must” responds Ralf
- “Let him do what he thinks is right”, whispers Ralf father in to his moms ear. Ford walks over to Ralf
- “Kid you really think you can do this yourself, then you must be full of it.”, Says ford “you have to bring someone so we are not completely screwed”, Alfred thinks deeply on his decision he has just made, his dad gives him eye-contact.
- “No dad, I cannot endanger the family any more than I already have”, says Ralf. He gives eye-contact to his closest friend and gives a slight nod. Jerico responds with a nod back. Ralf walks over to Jerico
- “Do you think you’re really up for this?”, asks Ralf
- “Hell yeah man, do you remember you and me killing off molerats in the sewers?”, responds Jerico
- “Yeah I do but upper mutants are nothing like molerats they are 7-8 feet tall all muscle and look like Shrek on steroids, to add to that they are heavily armored and weaponed and I have heard that there are behemoth versions of a super mutant that are 30 feet tall that rule guilds of super mutants.”,
- “Well you know what, we have to try.”
- “I’m bringing Jerico”, Ralf says to Ford
- “Meeting dismissed”, Ford yells
- “What about the rest of the questions?”, asks Tyrone
- “If your questions can be more important than what’s going on tonight then you can come to my office in ten minutes and ask them”,
- “Tonight?!”, asks Ralf and Jerico simultaneously
- “I probably should have addressed this at the meeting”, says Ford
- “C’mon Ralf let’s get to the armory”, Jerico says to Ralf. They both begin to walk toward the armory and Ralf begins to think to himself, what if I lose jerico? What if we can’t kill the super mutants? A wave of questions roll through Ralf head, he tries to reassure himself. Well, jerico is the toughest guy around and I have faith in us, we can do it.
- “Alright here’s the plan”, says jerico as he rolls out a map and clicks his pen.
- “here we are”, he circles megaton “now if we leave in an hour the super mutants should be here judging on the way that colonel Richards said the mutants were heading which was north east so if they were heading at a moderate rate we should intercept the min the meddle of tenpenny tower and Megaton”
- “What weapons are we going to bring”, asks Ralf
- “You know me; I’m taking a sniper rifle and some frag mines”
- “if you think that’s enough for 40 super mutants then okay but I’m bringing a minigun, and I will bring another mini gun for you just in case things get bad”
- “Well if you think that’s necessary bring TWO miniguns but I’m just bringing my sniper”
- Chapter 3
- “Alright mom I’m heading out wish me-”, says Ralf as his mom hugs him
- “Please come back”, says his mom
- “Mom your embarrassing me in front of my friend”
- “Do the right thing son”, his dad says as his mom releases her grip. Ralf and Jericho head over to Maggie’s house “Sweetie?”, Ralf yells. The room echoes in silence
- “Where is she?”
- “It can’t be”, says jerico
- “The mutants took her”
- “”how do you know for sure”, asks Ralf
- “It is rumored that the most popular person in a town is taken right before a slaughter”
- “By who?!”
- “The slaves of the super mutant behemoths”
- “Let’s go Jerico”, as they run out of megatons gate
- “Dude slow down”, says jerico another hour passes
- “What’s that?”, asks jerico
- “Looks like grass to me… that’s them!”, Yells Ralf
- “I’ll plant the frag mines!”
- “Alright when the mines go off we attack”
- BOOM! The mines explode and green body parts go everywhere
- “ATTACK!”, yells Ralf
- Ralf unleashes his minigun on full force while jerico is picking off the mutants with his sniper
- They are falling quickly. The bodies pile up.
- “That’s the last one”, yells Jerico as he explodes the mutants head with his high powered sniper
- “We did it”, yells Ralf and hugs Jerico
- “Dude behind you!”, says Ralf
- “Just embrace it”, says Jerico
- “Behind you!”, Ralf screams as Jerico turns around
- “Oh sh-”, screams Jerico as they both get whacked with a piece of pipe held by a super mutant behemoth. Jerico goes flying 50 feet while Ralf goes fling 25 feet and hits a rock and hears his ribs shatter. Ralf screams
- “Jerico!”, Ralf says in pain. He looks toward jerico and sees the behemoth coming toward him. He sees the two miniguns ahead of him 5 feet and crawls toward them. He picks them both up and screams in pain and fires both miniguns into the back of the behemoths head. As the behemoths falls to the ground he drops the miniguns and runs over to Jerico and grabs his canteen. He pours his water all over him. Jerico finally wakes up
- “What year is it?”, Jerico asks
- “You were wacked by that behemoth really hard weren’t you?”
- “What behemoth?”
- “Haha I’ll tell you on the way back”
- “Ralf!”, yells Maggie
- “Maggie?”, Ralf runs over to the dead behemoth and opens the make-shift cage on the back of the super mutant and grabs Maggie as 10 other prisoners run out screaming.
- Ralf, Maggie and Jerico begin to limp back to Megaton. As they get closer they hear almost, nothing. like the town of megaton was trying to hear them come or not. as they approach the entrance of Megaton the whole town run out of the town screaming in joy, they had accomplished their task.
- “You actually did it!”, screamed his mom over the crowd.
- “Good job guys”, yelled to Ford and Ralf as they get lifted up from the crowd.
