Journal Entry No. 1
By Gen. Atom Travis
Date unknown
I have decided to write a journal about what is happening in the wasteland. I am no longer alone. Five weeks ago, I managed to find a new friend, her name is Scarlet Rose or just Scarlet, we may have been traveling together for a short amount of time, but damn, I needed this. I was on my own for too long now, even if my new companion is a… zombie filly (I guess), but the company is greatly appreciated. Anyway, it is time for us to move out once again. I will write whenever I can, but until then, this is Gen. Atom Travis signing off.
Closing my notebook, I looked over to Scarlet. “Are you ready to move out?”
Scarlet looked over at the 22 pistol that I had given her a few weeks back. " Almost,” she responded, pulling her attention back to it. I just need to finish reassembling it, and… okay, I got it.”
“That's Good because something is coming,” I said, pulling out my Garand and pointing it in the direction the red bar was coming in. Looking at Scarlet in the corner of my eye, I saw that she was having issues with standing up on her hind legs. “Lay prone,” I suggested, doing the same. Looking down the iron sights of my rifle, I say a lone mutant bat thing. Taking a deep breath, I pulled the trigger, and with a single shot, it was put down for good.
Pushing myself off the ground, I looked over at Scarlet. She was brown, like my skin, with a deep maroon mane. And she was still lying prone. “You can get up now,” was all I told her, but she must have seen something. Did you see something?”
“I thought I did,” she responded. “Hey, Atom”
“Yes, Scarlet?” I responded, guessing what she was going to ask.
“Do you mind if you sing for a bit? I heard you a few days ago, and you sounded good, and I want to hear it again…” she said nervously, dragging her hoof against the dirt. I was caught off guard by her question because I expected her to ask about… earth, but no, she asked if I could sing. Shrugging, I pulled up my Pipbuck and selected one of my favorites

A warning to the people
The good and the evil
This is war
To the soldier, the civilian
The martyr, the victim
This is war
It's the moment of truth, and the moment to lie
The moment to live and the moment to die
The moment to fight, the moment to fight
To fight, to fight, to fight
To the right, to the left
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
From the last to the first
To the right, to the left
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world
A warning to the prophet
The liar, the honest
This is war
To the leader, the pariah
The victor, the messiah
This is war
It's the moment of truth, and the moment to lie
The moment to live and the moment to die
The moment to fight, the moment to fight
To fight, to fight, to fight
To the right, to the left
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
From the last to the first
To the right, to the left
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world
I do believe in the light
Raise your hands into the sky
The fight is done, the war is won
Lift your hands toward the sun
Toward the sun (It's the moment of truth and the moment to lie)
Toward the sun (It's the moment of truth and the moment to lie)
Toward the sun (It's the moment to fight, the moment to fight)
The war is won
To the right, to the left
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
From the last to the first
To the right, to the left
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world
A brave new world
The war is won
The war is won
A brave new world
This is war: Thirty Seconds to Mars
After I finished the song, Scarlet could only look in surprise at how well I had sung.
“Damn,” she muttered to herself, “um, Atom, do you think you could sing some more? I umm really enjoyed it,” she said, looking embarrassed. Shrugging once again, I jumped into another one that I liked.
On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light
In flames of death's eternal reign, we ride towards the fight
When the darkness has fallen down, and the times are tough all right
The sound of evil laughter falls around the world tonight
Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel, through the wastelands evermore
The scattered souls will feel the hell, bodies wasted on the shores
On the blackest plains in hell's domain, we watch them as they go
In fire and pain, now once again, we know
So now we fly ever free
We're free before the thunderstorm
On towards the wilderness, our quest carries on
Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls
So far away, we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames, we carry on
As the red day is dawning
And the lightning cracks the sky
They'll raise their hands to the heavens above
With resentment in their eyes
Running back through the mid-morning light
There's a burning in my heart
We're banished from a time in a fallen land
To a life beyond the stars
In your darkest dreams see to believe
Our destiny this time
And endlessly we'll all be free tonight
And on the wings of a dream, so far beyond reality
All alone in desperation, now the time has gone
Lost inside, you'll never find, lost within my own mind
Day after day this misery must go on
So far away, we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames, we carry on
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Now here we stand with their blood on our hands
We fought so hard, now can we understand?
I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can
For freedom of every man
So far away, we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames, we carry on
Through The Fire and Flames: Dragonforce
Scarlet just stared at me in shock, mostly because of A. the length of the song and B. how well I could sing. “Atom…”
“Yes?” I responded, thinking she would ask me to sing again, but hell, I was wrong.
“You have never told me much about your family or home… why?”
Getting a hallowed look in my eyes, I responded, “Some secrets are better left unsaid for the mental health of both you and myself… do you really want to know what happened to Earth?”
“Yes,” she said with finality.
Sighing, I responded, “Very well then. I just hope you can take the fall of not only my planet but my species. I will not hold anything back. So are you sure you want this?” As soon as I said that, Scarlet nodded, which made me nod in return, “Very well, then. I will tell you the story of the fall of Earth…”
