The Wasteland Fable

Post » Sun Nov 07, 2010 8:45 pm

Before I post the chapter I am going to explain what the FF is. It is basically the series ender to the whole Manhattan War Universe RP setting. It will take the last surviving members of Marshal and the Manhattan War series (ORIGINAL) and will show what happened to them. Now, this FF is not going to be that long, only ten chapters maybe. But here it is.

Chapter 1

October 1st, 2298, Megaton

The last eleven years of my life I have hunted these men and every time I get close they always get away, eleven years.

The door to Moriarty's Saloon opened slowly, it was opened by a man wearing a dirty stained Brown Hoodie, you could see little of his face, just his nose, the scar on his left cheek, and the man's beard. The man soon sat down on a stool right in front of the bartender, Gob.

"Hey Ghoul, go get me Moriarty." The man said.
"Fine, what's your name?" Gob replied.
"Mark."

Gob walked into the back room, a few seconds later both him and Moriarty walked out. Moriarty approached Mark. "What do you want?" Moriarty asked.
"Nothing, just wanted to say hi. Do you remember me?" Mark asked.
"No. Cannot say I do." Moriarty replied.

Moriarty was in his later fifties now, Mark was not surprised that he did not remember him. "Well, I am an old pal of yours, does the name Mark Never sound familiar to you?" Mark asked.
"Mark Never...Mark Never...Well I do not know a Mark Never, only a Mark Neverea." Moriarty stated.
"That is me Moriarty, I do not go by that last name anymore. Not since, well you know." Mark replied.
"Marcus Adam Neverea! I have not seen you, in twenty one years!" Moriarty said with excitement.
"Yeah, it has been a long time. But your busy so I will let you be." Mark said.
"Alright, it was good seeing you again Mark."
"You too buddy, you too."

Mark continued to sit at the stool, it was really all he could do, he had lost all track of Jonny Crusade and his buddies, he had lost track of the people he craved to kill. Mark spent most of his time walking around the wastes looking for them but for the last nine years he has been unable to find them. Mark turned around at the sound of the Saloon door opening, he saw a Ghoul enter, the Ghoul sat down on the stool beside Mark.

"Another Ghoul! I rarely see them here!" Gob said greeting the other Ghoul, "What's your name friend?" Gob then asked.
"Name is Josh, Josh Schultz." He replied.

Mark's head instantly turned to the ghoul after hearing that name, his eyes shot open and he slowly said "No."

Yes the ford boys will be taken care of Grand, and in a most violent fashion.

Chp 2
]Mark looked at his old enemy Joshawa Schultz, it had been eleven years since he had seen Josh, and eleven years ago Mark thought he had killed Josh but he was obviously mistaken. The only possible way that Josh could have survived was by the nuke turning him into a ghoul and that Is what It did. Thoughts of killing Josh right here rushed through Marks mind but he eventually convinced himself that maybe Josh could lead him to Jonny Crusade. Maybe just maybe Josh knew where Jonny was or could find Josh.

“I have to go.” Josh said after ordering his beer.

“Alight but be sure to come back here it is great seeing another ghoul in this dump!” Gob replied.

“Do not worry I will.” Josh replied, he stood up and left the bar, Mark got up and begun to follow him. Josh was leaving Megaton, Mark was trying not to make himself noticed because if Josh were to see him he would get suspicious and Mark would have to kill him. After about two and a half hours of walking they had arrived at Rivet City. Mark had looked here two months ago, could Jonny be here now? Thoughts filled Marks mind of him finally being able to get his revenge against Jonny. Josh had walked to the upper class; he knew that ghouls were not allowed to live in upper class in Rivet City, so that meant Jonny must have been here!

Josh had walked up to a door and did a strange knock in a sort of rhythm, the door opened and Josh saw his old enemy standing in the door way, Jonny Crusade. Mark ran to the door right as Josh walked in Mark jumped in before Jonny closed the door. Jonny pulled out a .44 Magnum and blatantly cursed, he proceeded to point the .44 at Mark, not realizing who it was. Mark grabbed his M1911 from his back pocket. Both Mark and Jonny had their guns pointed at the other; Mark began to laugh which confused Jonny.

“You do not remember who I am, do you Jonny?” Mark asked with a smile.

“I have never seen you before! So who the hell are you?” Jonny asked.

“Why don’t you take a look at your chest Jonny maybe that would bring back a memory?” Mark laughed. Jonny did not have to look, he knew what was there. Jonny dropped his .44 in shock, and Mark grabbed it immediately.

“How did you find me Mark?” Jonny asked.
“Thank your good pal Josh for that he did all the work!” Mark said.

“I never knew it was him, I never even knew he was following me!” Josh said “But now that he is here I can get my revenge!” Josh said, he jumped at Mark and grabbed the .44 from his hand and put it to his head. “You are dead Mark, you hear me DEAD!” Josh yelled, Josh pulled the trigger but the gun did not shoot. “What the hell Jonny! You do not keep this thing loaded?” Josh yelled. Mark then grabbed his M1911 and shot Josh in the stomach.

Violent and moderately suspenseful, that works. Would like the rest of the information on the Ford boys or just go creative license all up and down them. I like either way.

I have no idea what you mean explain it to me???

Chapter 3

Josh fell back after being shot in the stomach, Mark stood back up and pointed his M1911 at Jonny, it was the same as the many times before, every single time he had gotten to Jonny he had a chance to kill him but something always told him not to. And like all the other times Mark did not kill Jonny, Mark but his M1911 back in his pocket as Josh squirmed on the floor in pain. Mark grabbed Josh's hand and pulled him and put him in a chair, he then turned to Jonny.

"I am not going to kill you. This has gone on to long, if I really wanted you dead I would of had you dead by now. Now since you and me are not trying to kill each other anymore what happened to the others?" Mark asked.
"After you killed Ickis and the Marshal War ended everyone went back to the Capital Wasteland, me, Jak, Paul, Jack, and Rift. We all thought you had escaped with the last bit of Deathcolts, but I guess we were wrong, when we got back to the Wasteland things got better, Josh was still alive." Jonny said.
"What ever, I do not need to know this I just want to know where they all are!" Mark said in an angered tone.
"Why? You are not going to kill them! I will not let you!" Jonny said as he began to get angry.
"We all knew it would happen eventually Jonny now tell me where they are!" Mark yelled as he grabbed his M1911 and pointed it at Jonny. Jonny was getting nervous he was unarmed and Mark had a gun pointed at his head.

"[censored] you Mark, you are not killing them!" Jonny replied, Mark got mad and walked to wards Jonny he placed the barrel of the gun on Jonny's forehead, Jonny then kneed Mark in the ribs and grabbed his hand and pulled the M1911 out of it, he threw the gun and then tackled Mark into the wall. Mark grabbed a stool and threw it at Jonny's head, it dazed Jonny and Mark got up on his feet and ran at Jonny he punched him in the face and then smashed his head into the wall, Jonny tried to stop Mark from doing it again but failed. After Jonny's head was smashed in the head two successful times he slipped into an unconscious state. After this Mark turned his attention to Josh.

"You know where they are don't you!" Mark yelled.
Josh was still in pain and struggled to talk but he still managed to slip out a simple "[censored]...you."
Mark grabbed the M1911 from the ground and placed it on Jonny's head, "You tell me where they are Josh or I put a bullet in his head!"
Josh had no choice, Jonny was his best friend, he could not die. "The Ford brothers are in the lower deck here in Rivet City! Jak lives in Megaton and Rift disappeared after the war!" Josh replied.

"Good choice." Mark said, Josh got up despite his pain and threw himself to wards Mark, he knocked him to the ground and the two got into a battle over the gun, Mark won the battled and he beat Josh off of him, Mark stomped on Josh's back.
"I will [censored] kill you Mark! I will [censored] kill you!" Josh yelled.
"Face it Schultz! I have killed everyone you ever cared for! I killed Amy! I killed William! I killed your [censored] brother! I killed Tate! EVERYONE!" Mark yelled.

Tears began to come from Josh's eyes on the mention of the name Amy, Josh looked at Mark, "[censored] you!". Mark pulled the trigger on the M1911 the bullet entered Josh's head, this time he was dead, and with this Mark left the room and headed to the lower level.

Things were finally going Marks way, practically everybody he was after was right under his nose and he would finally kill them, one by one. The gunshot attracted Rivet City security but Mark was gone before they were even close there, he was already outside of the Ford’s door, he knocked and no response came so he knocked again the same way that Josh knocked to get Jonny to open the door. Once Mark did this, Michael opened the door.

“Who the hell are you?” Michael asked with wonder.
“What you do not remember me, I am sad now.” Mark replied.
“You better tell me who you are before I put a bullet in that head of yours!” Michael said as he reached for the .32 pistol that was on the table behind him.
“My name is Mark Never.” Mark told him. Michael turned his head at Mark, all he could say was [censored], Mark rushed at Michael as he reached for the .32 pistol but he was too late, Mark tackled him onto the table and it collapsed from the weight of both of them, Mark started to swing full force punches at Michaels head. While doing this Mark had thoughts of why, he was beginning to realize that both of these Ford brothers had done absolutely nothing to him, yet he was trying to kill them both, but before Mark could do anything about his thoughts, Ron came out of the bedroom with a baseball bat, he swung full force and hit Mark in the chest and knocked him off of Michael. Michael slowly got up after the beating from Mark. “What the hell was going on Michael?” Ron asked as he dropped the bat. “An old friend came to play.” He replied. “Some friend.” Ron said sarcastically. Michael chuckled but it soon came to an end as he heard the [censored] of a gun; he turned to see Mark pointing his M1911 at Michael, “[censored].”

BANG....BANG...

Mark shot both of the Ford brothers and they both dropped to the ground dead, and now all that was left was Jonny Crusade, Mark got up from the ground and ran out the door knowing the gunshots would attract more security.

Mark rushed by some Rivet City Security on his way back up to Jonny Crusades room, the Security was obviously heading to the lower level because of the gun shots from Mark, the Security seemed to ignore Mark more than likely thinking that he was just running from the gun shots like most of the others were. Within a few minutes Mark was at Jonny’s place again, Security was taking Josh’s body from the room and questioning Jonny who was had just regained consciousness. One of the Security Guards approached Mark, Mark watched the guard as he approached him, “What do you want sir? I do not think you want any involvement and what is going on here!” The Security Guard said. “My involvement in this situation is why you are here.” Mark said, he quickly grabbed the Ak-47 that the Security Guard had in his hands and turned it on him and shot, the Guard fell to the ground dead and Mark opened fire on the three guards questioning Jonny. Jonny after hearing the first shot got cover immediately and watched as the security guards died in front of him. Mark then went full auto and unloaded the whole clip into the wall that Jonny was hiding behind, “Come on Crusade! You knew this day would come!” Mark yelled as he grabbed clips from the other dead security guards.

Jonny was looking through an old chest of his and found an M4 and three extra magazines, he took the magazines and the gun and ran out of the room Mark saw Jonny coming and took cover behind a wall, and Jonny did the same on the opposite direction. The two started a gunfight in the middle of Rivet City, multiple bullets hit fire extinguishers on the wall and many electronic devices, and before they both knew it, and the hallway they were in was flaming. They both left the hallway to and continued their fight; they were slowly making their way to the highest level of the boat. Mark and Jonny both ran out of ammo. “[censored]!” Mark yelled, but soon found a pipe on the ground, Jonny found a broom. The two engaged a fight with junk from the ground, Mark swung the pipe and connected with a hit to Jonny’s temple, Jonny fell over in confusion. They were now on the Sky Deck, Mark walked up to Jonny’s body but Jonny was playing possum, he kicked Mark in the groin when he approached him and got up and sprinted his fastest and speared Mark and himself off of the Sky Deck, they both plunged into the water below. Mark slowly got back on land and so did Jonny, Mark ran to the bridge and Jonny followed.

“So this is where it all ends! This is where I finally kill Jonny Crusade!” Mark yelled.
“I will kill you Mark! For all that you have done!”
“Then come Jonny fight like a man, hand to hand no weapons!”
“It will make your death much better Mark!”

The two continued the battle, Mark swung first hitting Jonny in the temple, and Jonny swung back with a crushing blow to the chest, Mark gave Jonny a left hook and then a right Mark then kneed him in the stomach and grabbed his head and smashed it into one of the railings. Jonny elbowed Mark in the head causing Mark to let go of his head, Jonny then roundhouse kicked Mark in the chest almost causing him to fall over one of the railings. Jonny ran at Mark in effort to tackle him off the railing which would make Mark fall into the sharp rocks below but somehow Mark countered this and grabbed Jonny and pushed him into the railings and slightly over it, but not enough for Jonny to fall. Mark was just about to push Jonny over when a man in his sixties tackled Mark off of Jonny. The man was on top of Mark and got a good look at his face, excitement, joy, and happiness filled in the man’s face as he got off of Marks body, “Mark! It is you! I cannot believe it! Mark, my son I finally found you, I finally found you!” The man said. “Father? No, it cannot be!” Mark replied in a shocked and wondrous tone. “It is me Mark, you have to believe me I have been searching for you ever since the day you were taken from me, and I have finally found you!”.
“It is you, isn’t it?” Mark asked he was full of emotion; the last time this happened was when Cherry died in front of him.
“Yes Mark it is me!”
Jonny got up from the ground and ran to Mark’s father, “Please sir you must leave, this man is dangerous, he will kill you!” Jonny said as he grabbed the man by the arm. The man turned his attention to Jonny and looked at him, “No, it cannot be. Jonny, son!” The man said he shot up from the ground and hugged Jonny, “I thought you were killed!” He said as tears came from his eyes.

Mark and Jonny were both shocked and confused about what the man had said, if it was true that would mean that they would be brothers, brothers that have tried to kill each other on multiple ocasions. “How can I be your son? I was born and raised in Manhattan!” Jonny asked in wonder.
“Well, you must not remember. Well when you were about three years old Slavers attacked us and killed your mother, and kidnapped you and your sister, Amelia. Mark was the only child who was not taken by the slavers. These Slavers had a deal with some people in Manhattan and they obviously sold you to them and that is how you got to Manhattan.” He replied.
“You are kidding? No, it cannot be! You have no proof!” Jonny said defensivley.
“Under your shirt, on your left arm there is a scar there, that was from when you were two.” Ryan replied.
Jonny looked at his scar, and soon began to realize that this man was not lying, he infact was his father. Jonny had never known how he got the scar.
“No, how, how could Mark be my brother. My worst enemy.” Jonny said, he quickly leaned over the railing and threw up, it disgusted him that Mark was his brother espicaly for all that he did to him in the last eleven.
“You cannot be serious? Crusade is my brothere! No, John died! I am not believing this!” Mark said as he paced in a circle.
“Mark, you have to come to the realization that John Neverea is your brother!” Ryan told Mark.
“SHUT UP!” Mark yelled.
“Mark, please believe me. Why would I lie to you?” Ryan said.

Mark began to walk away, he was not dealing with this, he couldnt, for the first time in his life he was walking away.
