Courier checked his rifle as Chrysalis sharpened the blade of her sword with a weatstone as the waited as EDE flew around. A few minutes later a woman in a Ranger uniform and three squads of four men each came up to them. "Your Courier Six and Chrysalis?" She asked the two. Courier nodded to her. "I'm Ranger Ghost and those are Lima, Kain, and Oran squads." She tells the two.

Courier nods to them. "As you may had been told my friend and I had seen smoke coming from Nipton and as you can see it's still coming up from whatever's burning when most people would had put it out, so we think the Legion may had been behind it. While we could had gone around it wouldn't help for there is only one road to Novac without having to go around the mountains. So the three of us will help you out in clearing out any Legion that are still in town and rescue any survivors if possible." He explains to them. "Ranger Ghost you and Lima squad will take the hill above the town near the town hall give use fire support. The other two squads will go around both directions to catch them in a crossfire while the two of us will draw out any legion forces. We'll give you half a hour before heading into the town." He tells them the plan.

"Sir? Will the two of you be alright? Ya will be right in the middle of it." One of the squad leaders asks Courier.
"I meant it when I said I'm called Courier Six. I'm a Courier and part of the caravan code in the wastes out here says not to fuck with your mailman. I'll be showing you why." He says with a slightly bloodthirstily grin making the man gulp in fear. Courier had regain some of his memories along the way and during the night and while not what he would call memories he cares for it did so that he wasn't to be fucked with for he had killed a good number of things that still in the way of his jobs including a fucking Death claw that nearly did him in on the first job.

The group headed down the road taking the one that lead to Nipton. They ended up having to clear out an nest of Raiders in the ruins of a rest some midway but those unlucky bastards were killed getting caught off guard and shot. The squads departed from the three and soon after the half hour past they when toward the town. They saw a pair of banners flying showing an red Bull.

"Fuck, Legion. Chrysalis don't drop your trick. Those fucks will try and kill you without a thought." Courier tells her. "Stay close too. If they get their hands on you it'll better to be dead than alive. They use women as slaves and fuck toys." He warned her causing her to get closer to him.

They walked through the town seeing heads on pikes, bodies on crosses, burning piles of wood, dead, and tires, the sight of which caused Chrysalis to gag keeping herself from throwing up having never seen a sight like that before in her old world. They where soon nearing the town hall when a group of Legion came out of the building and the homes around them causing them to go back to back with EDE floating above the two's heads. There was 8 recruits and two primes each on the two's left and right with another 21 recruits and 11 primes in front of the town hall along with nine tamed mutts and eight decanus. The real trouble was a pair of frumentarii with a fucking vexillarius leading the group from the town hall. "Shit. Not good." Courier whispered.

The Vexillarius walked up a few feet to them before stopping. "Ah good. I was wondering if we were going to have someone come by before we left." He told them.

"What the hell do you want?" Courier asks him as he grabbed a grenade.
"I want you to spread the word of the great deed we had done here. Tell the NCR." Was the answer before the man rejoined the group. The Legionnaires joined the group when Courier acted.

He tossed the grenade into the middle of the group before using Vats while it was still airborne and shot it. It blew up over the heads of the Legionnaires killing nine and wounding many others as the three ran to the side of an house as EDE opened fire killing one. An "CRACK!" was heard as the Vexillarius's head became mist as the squads opened fire downing three more and five of the mutts.

Courier fired his rifle killing one as Chrysalis turned another into ash. The remaining Legion had split into some ducking into cover as the rest charged drawing blades or spears. Suddenly one of the mutts knocked Courier down as it tried to bite his throat out. Chrysalis kicked it off him as she shot it when one of the frumentarii grabbed her and tried to stab her only to get shot by Courier's 10mm in the head. He then aimed down the street as nine Legionnaires ran towards them causing him to roll out of the way of four thrown spears. Chrysalis ran forward to meet them drawing her own blade but not before shooting one in the head.

Courier shot one when he tried to attack her from behind as he got up and she gutted another. They killed the remaining seven by head shots from Courier, EDE burning holes into them, and Chrysalis's skill with the blade and looked around as the noticed the sounds of gun fire had stopped. They walked tot he steps of the town hall carefully for any of the Legionnaires playing dead or keeping their heads down. Soon they were met by the NCR soldiers. Two were missing.

"Their okay." Kain squad leader noticed their looks. "One got brained over the head by a Legionnaire and the other's checking him out." He explained.
"Still this is a damn good mission done." Ghost spoke up. "I saw the man you spoke he before I killed him. That was Vulpes Inculta, Leader of the frumentarii. With him dead the Legion will be weaken for a time till a new leader for them has taken over. Even so this will make things easier for us." She explained. "Still the Legion had never gotten this far west before." She said with a worried voice.

"True." Courier. "Once word of what happened he spreads it's going to cause some panic." He continued. The NCR soldiers nodded in agreement and went to other two joined up with them they left to return to the outpost. Courier turned to Chrysalis. "Let's take a look around and see if there's anything we can make use of here. Better in our hands that left for Raiders or Legion to come and make use of if they don't trash it for being too high tech for them." He tells her. She nods in agreement and the two started with the bodies of the Legionnaires. They didn't get much aside from antivenom, ammo for Courier's guns and a Ripper from Vulpes.

They entered the town hall seeing bodies of six townspeople and four Legionnaires. After checking bodies and Courier finding a key behind the desk and nearly losing a leg to a hidden frag mine they checked out the closed door finding it lead to the basement of the hall were they found some medical supplies, food, and weapon repair kits. The rest off the first floor was filled with bodies and had three Legion mutts they had to kill. The second floor was the same aside from some caps they picked up. The top floor in the major's office after Courier hacked into the computer they learned of the man's plans.

"The fool. There's no damn good reason for him to had thought this was a good idea. What I remember of this town tells me this was nothing but a way for the Legion to do what they had done." Courier said as he shook his head at what he read.
"How so?" Chrysalis asked him.
"The Legion had banned all use of old world Medical supplies and whoring. It was nothing but a way for them to do the maximum amount of damage to everyone they want dead and a statement of their views." He explained to her.
"Oh. I don't understand how the Legion had formed like this. Wouldn't had anyone stopped them?" She asked him.

"Out here in the Wastelands after the Old World vanished in nuclear fire law and order broke down. While it has returned here and there, it's more in the view of whoever had the most power in that time. The legion was formed 20 nearly or so years ago in a area that had many tribes that fought one another. When it started Caesar had the nearby tribes either destroyed or incorporated and due to that the Legion kept growing in power. Due to this they had taken over or destroyed a total of 63 tribes or so. The NCR was the first group they had encountered that could stop them dead cold three years ago when the Legion attacked the Dam." He told her of what knowledge he remembered as he worked on lock picking the door behind the desk. Chrysalis took in the info as she watched him. She thought of them and what she had done before coming to this world.

'What is with this world and the humans doing things like this. Why do they still fight over what remains when they should be doing that they can to recover what they lost and heal their world.' She thought to herself. While she admits to herself she would had done some things like the humans but what they had done to themselves and their world was too far for her to even consider and made her rethink of some of the things she had planned in the event of all out war, not that they could had been done now she here in this world.

"Got it" Courier said as the door opened. A look inside showed some ammo and a couple of guns. Courier looked over them and picked up the hunting rifle which had been turned into an true sniper rifle. After taking what they can carry they headed out. Courier did take note of an radio channel being broadcasted not far from the southern end of the ruined town planning to check it out later due to how it hadn't been there before.

The two stopped in one of the houses to rest in for the night after they had to kill and Mr. Handy upon entering the building. Courier used the workbenches to clear their guns and fix them up from the wear and tear of use while Chrysalis who dropped her disguise with no one else to see did the same for her sword. While they were working Chrysalis took a small look him at the before turning back to her blade as she thought about her travel partner. 'He's not most people I'll give him that, after all most wouldn't just fight in those odds that we did without reason even if we don't know why. Plus he's a great and skilled warrior. Wouldn't be a bad mate' She considered till she saw where her thoughts were taking her and blushed lightly hopping he wouldn't notice. 'What am I'm thinking? Besides I doubt he would like me the same way. I'm not human nor am I something to look at for him' She thought was she put her weapon away.

Courier noticed that. "You can have the bed I'll take the couch Chrysalis. Good night." He tells her. She nods to him and turned in for the night. 'She may not be human but damn she has fine looks.' He thought to himself before his line of thought caught up to him making him blush as he turned around. 'Why did I think of that?' He pondered to himself as he finished up his new weapon before turning in for the night.

Author's Note

Sorry for being so late updating. RL can be a bitch. Will try to update as able but will be slow for a while.

As how I show the Legion it's not unreasonable from what I know and the lore. Hell I never pick them when I play. Also ten or so men and ten mutts can't destroy a town like that.

And can anyone guess what's the broadcast? I know those who had played fallout would know.
