Madison Cole, Atomic Wrangler
"Well, I'll give you a blatant truth. I am not any of those identities I told those half wits downstairs. I am The Doctor"

"Your a Doctor, why are here?" asked Tim.

Madison wasn't sure what to say did he mean that his called the Doctor or did he mean he is a Doctor.

The Doctor

I looked at him

"I am not your average doctor. I bet you haven't heard of my past life's, so to speak. I cannot die. No, before you start running your brain up. I am not human, but, I am no mutant. I can tell you are quite confused on how I know this. It is hard to explain." I said "Now whats this Great War? One minute I was with John F Kennedy in the backseat of the Motorcade in Dallas, next minute I'm in Nipton."

Madison Cole, Atomic Wrangler
"You met JFK?" said Madison in disbelief.

Tim walked up to the Doctor.

"Over two hundred years ago there was a massive nuclear war that decimated the Earth, some people fled into Vaults others died or mutated" said Tim.

"Of course my brother isn't much of a history teacher" added Madison.

The Doctor

I smiled and pulled out my screwdriver

"Yes, I did meet JFK." I said, then, I turned to the man "Very educational. Now, that wasn't very hard to predict. Now, I assume you don't think 'The Doctor' is my real name. Well, it is. Also, I may look human, it is because the race I come from were the original humans."

I showed them the screwdriver

"So much on this, so much to know on this thing. And no chance I'll sell it to you."

Dark, Nipton

The Predator watched from a distance, the town was deserted everybody was dead. The Predator came into the town there were crosses with skeletons hanging on them. The Predator continued on its way.

Madison Cole, Atomic Wrangler

"Wow" said Madison as the Doctor showed them his screwdriver.

"So your saying you are an alien, what do you want with us? Why are you on Earth?" asked Tim.

The Doctor

"Why thank you young lady." I said, kissing her on the hand. I turned to the man

"No, technically, your on my planet. I am one of the so called protectors of Earth. Leave it to the-nevermind. I live here, Earth is my planet. Well, not all mine, but, you get the point." I said "Take this."

I threw him a old playing card

"Thats from the American Civil War. It was during the 1860s. I got it off of a Confederate Solider."

Madison Cole, Atomic Wrangler
Tim looked at the card it was old.

"But why are you here?" asked Madison "Is there something wrong"

The Doctor

"Well. I thought I was going to come to a place with flying cars. But, apparently, a nuclear war happened. So, Yes, theres something wrong. But, for you, its not, you think this is a average night. But its not. Look out of the corner of your eye. Where the place you never want to look. Look. See, right there. That painting. We've been in here and you haven't noticed it. Someone named "Aaron Kimball". Odd name.... Anyways, I feel something wrong, something wrong here. You don't sense it because its a average day. But, this isn't the strange sense that those idiots ignored the Lords, theres something under. The Beast Below." I said, turning to the people.

Matthew Fraser

We soon arrived near a dirt gully four miles away from Jean. The NCR correctional facility laid only another four miles away. Primm was another five. New Vegas, ten. Goodsprings, six.

"Get off that jeep!" screamed a MP as a rocket streamed from a small hut in the distance. I jumped out as the jeep was destroyed. The machine gun on the other jeep lit up, firing from a turn off in the road.

"FRASER!" I heard a scream. There lie my CO, he was firing off his M1-Garand over the trenchline "Go help the wounded."

I ran over to a bleeding man. He was shot by a blast from a shotgun

"We can't remove the-" A blast lit up the trenchline. A stick of dynamite landed in the north section. I ran over to my squad.

"Sir! We gotta stop em!" I screamed. Another squad was with us.

"CHARGE!" screamed our CO. We ran toward the Gangers front line.

Tim Cole, Atomic Wrangler
"Beast from below what's that?" asked Tim confused.

New Vegas Sewers
The time had come the hive mind spoke.

"The time to go to the surface is nigh" it said.

The creatures gathered and left the sewers.

Dark--On the road to Novac

The Predator made it's way up the road at night, sprinitng. It was silent in the night, the cloak kept it well hidden, under thr moons bright light. A group of NCR partollers made their rounds endlessly, tired from the suns harsh heat and the sudden drop in temperature.

The Predator moved slowly. . .slowly up behind a middle aged trooper, then dug his wrist blade into the soldier spine with a meaty crunch, black blood from the liver drained out from the deep wound; the startled looks on the troopers faces. The troopers held their rifles aimed at nothing, and screamed, "who's there?!"

The Predator aimed his plasma caster at the throat of a younger trooper, and fired; his head poppong like a ballon. The soldiers trembled with fear, sweat beaded down their foreheads into their eye. Three soldiers remained, spooked.

His wrist blade was covered with hot dripping blood, a small puddle stained the road where he stood. One soldier spotted the blood stain, pointed and open fired. The gunshots proved nothing as The Predator advanced, grabbing the trooper with his free hand, and stabbing him in the eye with his wrist blade. The second trooper was picked up from the ground by the neck before a sharp, throbbing pain came from his chin up.

The Predator scanned his eyes around for the last trooper - no where to be found. His thermal vision aided him; the foolish trooper ran away, as far as her legs took her. The Predator advanced after the woman, only to see that she was with child.

The Predator clicked and snarled, leaving the young woman to run.

Isenes Temes

Isenes stood on the dark road. Night was falling, as the drunks and prosttutes of the strip slowly made their way inside to the security of the casinos. Isenes's shift was about over, but then he heard the screams of a woman. It was an NCR trooper, frantically running towards him. As she approached, he quickly asked what was wrong. "Th...They killed my squad!" Isenes looked her over. "Who killed your squad?" he asked, his ghostly voice sending a chill down the womans spine. "I...I don't ...know. Nightstalkers....but we couldn't see them. We were patrolling the novac road..." and then the woman fell over. She was tired, her cheast rapidly heaving to try and get enough air. Several soldiers ran out when Isenes whistled. "Listen, I'm going to see what caused this. Tell them I'll be back soon." the men nodded, as they picked her up.

So Isenes left the strip, and walked along the desolate road to Novac. He had no idea what he was getting in to.

The Doctor

I walked up to the man

"I honestly don't know, but, I know theres something, something lurking, something in your darkest fears." I said "Well, I should get going. Rounds to make, getting a explanation to the Time Lords-I mean my boss."

OOC: I will be kind of away from all my RPS some till thursday...I might be able to use the labtop to post occasionaly each day but take control of my char if needed.

Isenes Temes

Isenes heard it before he saw it. The hissing and scratching of something. Rifle in hand, he scanned the area. He was on the long, beaten, and overgrown road on the way to Novac. The lights of New Vegas were still stabbing into his back; he was not far out of the bustling city. The noise was coming from the sewer grating to his left. Training his pistol on the slightly illuminated sheet of metal, Isenes slowly approached. Before he could open it up, a huge shadow lunged out of the hole. Isenes stumbled back. The thing was huge; its scally body basked in the little light that shone from his body.

It approached, slowly, but with the sure intent of killing Isenes. He reached for his pistol, his hands shaking. Never did his hands shake. Isenes was a man of steel, afraid of nothing. As the monstrosity looked the man over, Isenes finally brought up his pistol. Three fast, rapid shots emitted from the M9. The bullets were direct shots into the shadow, but the monster didn't even move. Suddenly, what appeared to be its tail appeared over his shoulder. The tip of the tail was vicious. The tip had a wicked curve, capable of skewering several men. Isenes looked at the creature. His eyes met the eerie glow of the monster.

A blinding light soared over Isenes's head, catching the creature straight in the chest. It stumbled back, screeching and hissing. A seemingly invisible "thing" lept over Isenes, colliding with the creature. The two shadows wrestling back and forth, screeching the whole time. Isenes stood up and ran. He ran as if he was on fire. Isenes had never ran from a battle. This was more than a battle.

He ran through the gate, not stopping to talk to the gaurds. As he entered the NCR embassy, several men gave him funny looks. When a sergeant asked him what was wrong, he replied "I need backup, one outside the east gate...I dont know what it is...but it's big." The man nodded. Three troopers arrived several minutes later. Fodder.... Thought Isenes. He needed rangers, but their numbers were spread thin and far. "Let's go, and don't slow down for anything!" he yelled as the four men quickly left the embassy.

Madison Cole, Atomic Wrangler
"I honestly don't know, but, I know there's something, something lurking, something in your darkest fears. Well, I should get going. Rounds to make, getting a explanation to the Time Lords-I mean my boss."

"Your going" said Madison looking at the doctor.

"I don't like this" said Tim walking over to a closet.

He opened it revealing two suits of Power Armour, a Gauss Rifle and a Laser Rifle.

"Here, put this on" said Tim.

Madison strapped into the armour and grabbed the laser rifle.

"So where are going?" Madison asked looking at the Doctor.

Dark, Outside of New Vegas
The Predator looked at New Vegas, the city was bright and loud. The Predator was focused on it, but it was distracted by gun shots. It looked down to see a male human on the ground shooting at a creature. The Predator changed its vision, the creature appeared under this new vision it had an elongated head and a long tail with a large point at the end of it.

The Predator clicked its mandibles together and jumped down landing on the ground. It roared and ran towards its target, it tackled the creature down. With his wrist-blades he stabbed it in the head, its blood splashed all over burning the ground. The Predator grabbed it by its throat the creature opened its mouth, its inner mouth came roaring out. The Predator grabbed its inner mouth ripping it out, the creature was dead.
The gates to the city opened, the Predator quickly ran off into the shadows. The serpents were here the time for the hunt had began.

The Doctor

I tapped my hands together.

"Since the high amount of radiation is concentrated...in the north. A nuclear bomb would have detonated...there." I pointed down toward a mountain "But with its probable path, it was headed to the Dam."

I peered out the window

"That mountain over there. Its green. We need to look at it." I said "Oh, and I don't need that armor, nor that weapon."

I ran out the door, then walked back

"You comin or what?"

Lupus decided not to get involved in the conversation, he was annoyed when "The Doctor" kissed Madison. When Madison and Tim got in Power Armor Lupus was shocked. They are Brotherhood I would of never guessed. Caesar is against the Brotherhood. But they have done nothing wrong to the Legion. Caesar is a fool. When The Doctor said he was an Alien Lupus started to chuckle, "An Alien... I always wondered if they were real. I do believe we should follow the alien Madison."

OOC: Double post?

The Doctor

I turned to the man

"You do realize this is MY planet. The...Time Lords were the original humans. But, alas, they are at a area I cannot disclose." I said, then, I suddenly remembered I hadn't asked his name

"I am, as you probably know, The Doctor, you are?" I asked him, with my hand out "Oh, and if I've shown any disrespect toward you, I apologize."

Madison Cole, Atomic Wrangler
"You coming or what?"

Madison looked at Tim and then to Mark.

"I think we can go" she said.

Madison, Tim and Mark followed after the Doctor.

OOC: Mind if I take a well, why thank you!

The Doctor

I led the small group of people out of the casino. I pulled out a old Luger Parabellum pistol. I opened the gate of the north Freeside and walked through. I turned to the woman

"So, whats your name?" I said, walking backwards into a crumbled wall. I stepped into it. I pulled out my screwdriver and shined the light on it over many of the walls

"This belonged to the Patterson family before this Great War. A rich family, by my counts. Figures, live near the Fremount area and get money." I mumbled. I turned to them and motioned for them to keep walking. I kept my screwdriver in hand as we passed through a camp of strange looking men. I sped up and walked toward the mountain. I turned back toward the woman.

"Whats up there?" I asked her, I then turned to the other man who had called me a Alien

"Oh, sir, I am not a alien, I am a human, just with more powers." I said.

Pinky. Outside Jacobstown.

"BASTARD?" The super mutant bellowed at the human who had caught up with him. He pulled his sledgehammer from his back and held it aloft so the man could see it. "YOU KEEP CALLING ME THINGS LIKE THAT, THEN I'LL JAM THE BUSINESS END OF THIS THING RIGHT UP YOUR ASS AND SWING YOU IN TO A TREE."

Pinky lumbered closer, until his nose was almost touching that of the human. He stared at the man for a few seconds, his face twisted into a scowl of pure rage. He couldn't keep it up though and his face contorted into a huge grin as he bellowed laughter into the tall human's face.

"How's it going Gunnar? Still can't talk right? Be glad for the company, it's nightkin we're looking for though, so keep you eyes peeled."

New Vegas, Alien - Westside

The creature snarled, saliva dripped from her mouth. The young man in front of her shook with fear, taking steps back. The creature lashed her tail at the man, impaling him through the chest; blood blossomed around his shirt. Warm, frothy, bright red blood from the lungs dripped from the corner of his mouth; the man gasped both from shock and pain. Life was being pulled away from him, he felt weaker. . .weaker. Darjness crept in the corners of his vision, the snarling creature growled. Blood coursed from his torso down to his leg and pooled at his feet.

Someone shreiked, "Dad!" Their voiced layered with fear, confusion and concern.

The man turned his head weakly towards the voice, "Run. . .run. . .I love you, Damon." he rasped.

The adolescent boy that was around 16 nodded, tears streaking down his cheeks, turned in the opposite direction and ran.

The creature, though had no eyes, seemed. . .angry. She let the man go, his body dropped like a sack of potatoes, he looked at his running son, the creature catching up to him. No! With the last of his strenght, the man pulled himself to his knees, trying to come after the creature. The man opened his mouth to scream, but all that came out was a gush of blood and gurgle.

***

Damn ran as fast as his legs would carry him, the building flew past as he sprinted.

"Help me!" He yelled, to no one in paticular, "please, just-" Out of the corner of his eye, she saw the horrid creature climbing along the wall, then jumped in front of the boy.Within a flash, two blades poked from the creature's neck, green blood ozed from the wound. The creature feel to the ground with a thump, and whoever - whatever that killed it was nowhere to be seen.

Isenes Temes

Isenes was seated on a bench outside the NCR embassy. An hour earlier the small group of soldiers had arrived on the spot were Isenes had seen the battle, but there were no bodies to be found. All he could make out were several indentions in the ground. Almost as if something had been dragged back into the sewer system. The troopers thought he was crazy. Isenes knew what he saw. The moment was to clear to him. He remembers the vicious tail the most. The way it slithered over the mutants shoulder, watching him with every breath he made.

Now his mind was racing. The broken down, dirty bench was not a place Isenes wanted to spend his time, but the thought of the two "things" couldn't escape his mind. Instead of pondering the thoughts for the rest of the night, Isenes sat up and decided to talk to his lieutenant. Isenes was restless to figure out what the thing was. He couldn't go without answers. Before he could make his way to Camp Mcarren, several rangers appeared out of nowhere. They wore their signature uniform, making them look as thought they had traveled forward in time from the era of the cowboys. "Isenes, another ranger reported mysterious sightings near a sewer grater not a mile outside new vegas. We're going under." he said. "Under?" asked Isenes. "Yes...the sewer system is long dryed up. Its not the most comfortable space but we all should be able to fit." Isenes nodded. He was ready.

As they made their way towards their designated entry point, Isenes asked a question. "What could these things be? Deathclaws?" The lead ranger turned his head towards Isenes, locking eyes with the seemingly bare mask. While Isenes was a dangerous man, this ranger was not afraid. He had been in dangerous situations before. "No idea...but we gotta kill it none the less. We probably won't though.... I doubt its nothing more than a super mutant playing games..." Isenes shook his head. If only they had seen what he had.

They were know at their entry point. It was on the very edge of freeside, where the thugs and druggies hung out. The lead ranger, whose name was Matthew, also known as Matt, opened the grating. He looked down. Pure darkness. "You sure we can't do this in the day?" asked on of the rangers. Matt laughed, then lept down the small opening. The other rangers reluctantly followed after taking their dosing of Rad-X. Matt had told him the sewer could have dangerous amounts of radiation. So Isenes lept down, falling into the dark abyss of the aliens.

Madison Cole, Outside Freeside

"So, whats your name?"

"My name is Madison, my brother is Tim and this is Mark" said Madison.

The group continued on they headed north, then the Doctor stopped again.

"Whats up there?"

"That's Mount Charleston, up there well there is a ranger station and oh yes Jacobstown" said Madison looking at the Doctor.

The Doctor

I looked at Madison, Tim, then Mark

"Whats Jacobstown?" I asked as we walked up a crumbled up road up to the peak of the mountain.

Matthew Fraser

I gripped my gun as I walked patrol by myself in the sandy areas around Goodsprings Cemetery. The place was about a mile away from Goodsprings. I heard a crunch from a bush

"Whos there?" I asked, almost seeming the air. "Come out with your hands up!"

No answer.

I repeated myself in vain.

"I will shoot!" I yelled. Finally, I shot into the bush. I heard cries of agony as I fired.

"Bastards!" I said, emptying a clip. I saw a figure run toward the cemetery as I reloaded. I reloaded and fired at the legs of the person. The person fell down, smacking the sand.

"Don't kill me! Please!" The person cried, it was a girl.

"What's your name? How old are you? Where you from?" I asked her

"My name is Mary! I'm 14! I am from Primm." She said

"Jesus, who were they?" I asked her

"Khans! They kidnapped me from my family when we were at the 188." She said.

"Damn it. Let me help you to the doc's house." I said to her, slinging my gun over my left shoulder and putting her arm around the back of my neck. She cried in pain as I lifted her up.

***

I took my helmet off and wiped sweat from my forehead. I got up and looked at the old doctor.

"She'll be alright." He said. I let out a sigh of relief "I went through that bag you gave me. I sent a man out when you left. He should be back any minute with the news of her kin."

I heard a creak from the door

"Mr. Mitchell" The boy in the door croaked.

"Yes?" The doc asked him

"I went and found the kin. They went on dead. Local NCR officials said they were killed when one of those trains transporting supplies and troops and all got derailed by Gangers, killed em both. Shame." The boy said.

"Any others?" The doc asked "Like, anyone besides the parents and siblings?"

"Nope, couldn't find them, anyways." The boy said, leaving. The doctor turned his head to me

"Looks like you'll be fostering the girl." He said, patting me on the shoulder. I gripped his hand and let go "I'm off to bed. She'll probably wake up in thirty minutes or less."

He walked down the hallway, letting out a yawn, then a door slammed shut. I sat down at a green chair and laid my gun along the wall. I store at the girl. I recited a poem my father once told me:

" Fly, envious Time, till thou run out thy race;
Call on the lazy leaden-stepping hours,
Whose speed is but the heavy plummet's pace;
And glut thyself with what thy womb devours,
Which is no more then what is false and vain,
And merely mortal dross;
So little is our loss,
So little is thy gain.
For when, as each thing bad thou hast entomb'd
And last of all thy greedy self consumed,
Then long Eternity shall greet our bliss,
With an individual kiss;
And Joy shall overtake us, as a flood,
When every thing that is sincerely good,
And perfectly divine,
With truth, and peace, and love, shall ever shine,
About the supreme throne
Of Him, to whose happy-making sight, alone,
When once our heavenly-guided soul shall climb,
Then all this earthly grossness quit,
Attired with stars, we shall for ever sit,
Triumphing over Death, and Chance, and thee, O Time!"

I slowly drifted to sleep.

***

I slowly woke up as I saw the sun creak through the windows. I looked at the girl. Her black hair, I slowly moved it back from her face. She almost snapped awake.

"You." She said, in a mix of bitter sweet. I nodded "You waited for me, didn't you?"

I nodded.

"You cared, didn't you?" she asked me.

"I'm not like most NCR troopers." I said. She grinned "I ought get going, before Lieutenant notices me gone."
