OOC: we thought wed lost you for a minuite thre DS

IC:

Atom was consumed with anger, one of his children a being he had given immense gifts to had spurned him for the impurity of the wastes. Atom sohuted across the wastes his mind hot with anger " KROSS I NAME YOU A TRAITOR!!!!! You stand alone among your race the deathclaw rises to lay waste to the land and you will be an example made to those who steal what is not thiers Sarah the grand matron of the deathclaws will deal with you personally.
for those who stand against us know this, there is know hope. I am the end you will suffer less if you embrace your death, if you fight you will suffer. And your messiah Tom can not save you from the monster HE created, thats right your leader is the father of Atom and i thank him for his gifts."

______________________________________________________________________

just a short one so as not to mess with DS' post

Kross heard Atom clearly in his mind. The only word in his mind that he was sure Atom saw, Good.He then broke off and returned to his two brothers that joined him. "Today, my brothers, we will destroy the evil that has transformed us. Go, find your brothers and sisters, that they may fight with us!" The two Deathclaws ran across the wastes in search of others.

OOC: Lol @ Francois Anyway can I control the Deathclaws?

She thought that it would either be Kross or one of Kross' agents, she slowly tracked him down to the old olney, he was trying to convince some of the other deathclaws to join in its fight, sarah took the form of a normal deathclaw and walked into the crowd, she listened to the howls of the deathclaw, and looked at the others, she started talking back to him.

"Tell Me, Servant of Kross, They kill our young, treat us bad, Why deathclaws Help oomans (humans) they not help Deathclaws"
"If we dont help oomans we die at hands of dead oomans"
"Oomans not help us, but Dead Oomans not give us pain, Why kill helpers"
"If we dont, then..." The deathclaw didnt know what to do, and the others started to nod at aproval of sarahs points
"Blood Ring!!" one of them roared

All of the deathclaws started chanting Blood Ring, Blood Ring, BLOOD RING. Their chants started to turn to screams and hollers they were working themselves into a frenzy, they encircled sarah and the other deathclaw, he looked around him, he was pretty scared, his transformation was more mental than physical, he knew he couldnt win in a fight, but the loser was sentenced to exile from the tribe, so he went along with the fight.

The fight was between claw and claw, no feet or head, it went on for hours, sarah didnt want to show her true form, she wanted to get these claws through the honourable way, even though she wasnt born a deathclaw, she felt herself becoming one, being drawn to their culture and ways of life they were majestic creatures forged in the powers of atom, all powerfull and amazing.

The battle continued for hours and hours, untill they were both nothing more than bleeding husks, sarah decided that she would end this, the sun slowly started to rise, as it did she rose her claw high abover her haid, and bought it crashing down on his neck, severing it from his torso, the large crowd that had gathered over the night scremed in joy as his head rolled around before slowly stopping, a pool slowly started to grow underneath it, and sarah sighed, although he was working for a traitor, the death of every deathclaw was something to be sad about, even those who wanted her death, she turned to the rest of the deathclaws. Transfoming into her Ultima Form (as it shall be known from now on) the other deathclaws shuddered in fear.

"This is a Momentous day!" she yelled
"From this day forth, You are no longer Deathclaws" she said raising her hands to the sky
"You are BLOODCLAWS" she said releaseing a wave of mutating radiation, making their spines grow and their claws turning red, their entire bodies changed, they became more fearsome a preadator, just like her other bloodclaws.

"Now go forth, Search the wastes for other deathclaws, and if any of you find Kross, or ANY of his followers, Kill them, let their blood fill the streets of our former world... EAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

Her screech filled the air, and all who were near shuddered in fear, soon death would come and fire would rain from the skies, sarah was slowly becoming stronger in the presence of her bretheren, although she was also feeling herself drift away to the primal urges of her bloodclaw brothers and sisters, she started running back to Atom, to tell him of her success.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please dont try to get deathclaws, ill let you have atleast 3 normal claws

(OOC: Excellent posts, theirs no way for me to write anything at the moment... Or is there?)

IC:

I looked around me, then I raised my voice again, "People's of the Wastes, I will return, all I ask is that you don't attack any Super Mutants unless they attack you first," I then dropped my voice very low, "Jon, lead the people towards the remains of Megaton, we'll make our stand there. I've communicated with as many ghouls as I can, they're heading towards Megaton, be quick my friend." I then turned and ran outside of the Citadel, into the ruins of D.C into the most secret of places, only known to Super Mutants.

Vault 102

I ran through the many destroyed buildings, following the directions and thoughts of the Mutants around me. We moved quickly and silently through the many buildings, past camps of Raiders and the few remaining Brotherhood patrols, soon enough I found the wooden door to the place that had changed so many people. I fled into the dark remains of the metal deathcage, towards the many mindless thralls that were once humans. I went into the deepest realms, to gather an army of Super Mutants.

OOC: Sounds good DS. Grad tonight

IC: Kross' ears perked up and he sniffed the air. "The Giant one is back...she has created more of her kin. I fear I will not have any of my race left. I have this one dear baby left, which I cannot mother." Kross turns to Jon and remarks "We are fighting a difficult battle my friend. Sarah as you call it is a machine of destruction. If you come across anyone too nice or too innocent, shoot first. I shall follow your lead, and hope for the best. All I can do is wait and hope." On their journey, one deathclaw resided on the side of the trail. Wounded, it was in great pain. Kross helped it to its feet and asked a field medic to help him. "You will live my brother..."

Atom was calm and lucid, his plans were knitting together well, Sarah his agent and sword in the wastes had cut the enclave from the fight with the swift efficience he had come to expect from her. This fill atom with both joy and cautious mistrust, she was becomeing powerfull, she did not know it herself but there was a reason he had given her control of the deathclaws specificly. Deathclaw venom that made a thin film on the edge of the claw could cut through his form like a shishkebab through mirelurk meat.

Tom had been clever, Atom had tried to divert his attention towards the citidel and away from the purest form of radiation in the wastes, If atom could detonate the megaton bomb and bask in its glorious rays then he would be all powerfull able do decide the life of millions with a thought. So be it tom shall witness the glory of Atom first hand in chains, he would be spared in gratetude for freeing Atom from the weakling that once inhabited the mind now filled with the glory of a god. Atom sighed he had one last loose end to tie up.

Across the wastes that day people observed a red flash in the sky as Atom made his way from dunwich to the secluded encampment known as Oasis, he dimmed his glow to almost nothing and wrapped a cloth around himself to hide the rather transparrent body he now posessed. A young woman was at the gate, Atom affected a limping stumble into his gait as he approached coughing and spluttering, the gaurd raised her gun. " Not a step closer. " her voice was filled with both pitty and a desire to protect the secret of her home. " It does not befit such a pretty young woman to be so rude to a sick old grandmother like me. " Atom masked his voice behind that of a doddering old crone. " Im sorry but i need to ask you what your buisness is these are dangerous times. " Atom knew he had the girl, the pitty in her voice was almost tangeable. " Yes my dear, i come because i here tell of a terrible demon come to destroy the land and i wish to see green before I, a young man i met once told me of this wonderous place and i wish to join you." Atom coughed profusely at the end of his act to sell it properly. " I suppose you wouldnt be able to do any harm to the great one, come inside."

The two figures shuffled through the now open gate, " Usualy i have to talk to the Tree Father before i take people to see him but i dont think you would last the ceremnoy the shape your in." Atoms plan had worked beyond even his expectations, he had at least expected to have to do the cults ritual. " Thank you deary. " Atom had to work doubley hard to keep the exitement out of his voice.

There he was, the tree with a face, he looked lonely and sad amongst the finery of the green around him. " Ill give you two some privacy. " THe gaurd turned and departed shutting the gate behind her. The immeadiatly spoke. " I....saw you comeing...... and i know who you are..... so you can take of that....silly....cloth " The voice was rasping and painfull, Atom took of his disguse but kept his glow dim so not to alert the others. " You know of my intentions. " Atom had dropped the old womans voice instead opting for three voices at once a ghoul a human and a deathclaw. " I....dont...know your plan im not.....a mind reader." The tree sounded tierd. " I Will rule this land and i want it to to be a land fit for the children of Atom. For this you must die but the tree must live. " Atoms tone was calous but reasoning. " Good.....Im bored o' talking to Herbert.....anyway." Atom walked over to the old ghoul and lay a hand on his head, almost instantly the eyes closed and the head dropped, but the roots shot out becomeing other trees on the surrounding area, gradualy fading for now Near. They woul soon grow into mighty forrests.

Atom tore through the gates and compund surrounding them, he killed all in his path with concerntrated bursts of radiation, but he spared a child seeing in her eyes none of the impurity of the rest of the wastes just profound innocense. Atom put the girl to sleep and lay her down under the tree, Atom left in her some small protective abilities to keep her alive until the end of the war to come.

OOC: Mercy from Atom or some deep buried Eli??? who knows, to be honest i cant bring my self to kill a kid as sweet as Yew.

(OOC: Yeah I know what you mean...)

IC:

I still had a strong connection with Atom, to try one last line of defense, I connected to his mind again, speaking aloud, "Atom, let yourself fade for a single moment, I wish to say one thing to Eli, then you may kill whatever remains of him in you if you wish," I then waited a split second, I perked up again, "Eli, I know that Atom would not have failed at this small request, I wish to tell you something. Atom may have taken over your body but not your soul, if you wish to give this up, tell me my old friend. Am I the only one that remembers those years we spent in Underworld together?"

I didn't wait for an answer, I forged on, "Eli, I know you'll be able to hear this even if Atom is blocking you, you must understand this. You cannot keep this up, if you go through with your plan this will be the end of you as well. How do I know this? Because, I'm sorry to say, I know of a way to kill you and that way is not through me living. My plan will kill us both, give this up, my old friend, please."

I then didn't hear an answer, I left him at that but did not sever our connection. I walked out of Vault 102, moving slowly, looking at the many Mutants. I chuckled, they were mere distractions, except for the Overlords and Behemoths, they were the REAL muscle. I kept my contact with Eli, I wanted to hear his voice at least once more, before I died for him.

" Tom, thank you but I have seen. I have seen what will be it has begun and can not be stopped neither can he. Even now when I am in control he wispers to me he maddens me, his voice is the voice of radiation its self every feral has heard and there minds were crushed by the whispering i was just strong enough to stay sane but weak enough to allow him a foot hold, Atom never dies Tom he is everytihng and nothing run while you can take the others away the wastes will be his playground for a while but soon his designs will turn upon the world. His world Tom it is beutifull, green and new but the trees are waterd with blood and all serve Atom and live only if he chooses. Do what you can to stop him but i cant help, my body is not my own and I am tierd." Atom permitted this one message from Eli before crushing the spark of iron will that had once threatend to start a ghould eutopia once and for all.

I nodded to myself, the last thing I did before severing my contact was this, "Eli, you may not be able to talk but I have to tell you one thing... Goodbye, for when we meet next, one of us will die. You were a good friend, I hope that if I die at least you won't have to live with terror," I then severed my last connection with Eli, I knew we would never talk again. I ran with all speed back to Megaton, I arrived at the entrance very quickly, I knew that Eli would be coming here.

I closed my eyes and focused, I didn't really know what I was focusing on but I did it anyway. I let myself flow, pouring into the souls of the Mutants around me. I took all the weaker one's strength, pouring it into myself. I let some of them keel over dead, they gave their lives willingly, I knew they would, which worried me. I felt my strength increase, I let it pour into me, I loved it.

Kross heard the mutants approach before anyone else had a chance to react. "Tom is back. And Atom is on his way." Kross looked around with his steely black gaze. He knew Sarah was going to try and kill him. The victor of the battle however, he did not know. Honestly, he was frightened, but furious. He had been beaten all his life, but with his new body, he could take on a bloodclaw as far as he knew. Kross swung his claws at the metal walls ot megaton and created and eyehole for Jon, Tom, and himself.

I stood where I was, but then I felt something break inside me, I don't know what it was, but I knew it did something. I openened my mouth, but instead of pain yelling out, I heard my voice, very loud, eminating across the Wastes, "I don't want to set the world, on, fire. I just want to start, a flame in your heart..." Then I felt my mouth close again, I realised something, I looked down at myself. Everyone was staring at me, I found something inside me as I deciphered my own little outburst.

I realised what it meant.

I realised what it was that could stop Atom.

But, I only had one chance and that chance would equal in my death either way, just like my old plan. I looked up at the stars, then I turned around, "All you people who have come here, Atom will be here soon. Whenever it may be, but he will still be here soon, within... A day I think, so you must prepare, if you wish to leave, then I have to tell you that it's pointless. If we fall here, then everyone in the remains of the Wasteland will fall anyway. So, prepare for the battle of your lives!"

I then turned around towards the Mutants, I stepped among them, just moving slowly, not disturbing them. I moved right into the middle of the group, I then released a massive amount of concentrated radiation, I watched them grow larger, into something else. The normal Mutants, seemed to turn into Brutes, the Brutes seemed to turn into Masters, the Masters turned into Overlords... And the Overlords turned into something else altogether, massive beasts full of muscle, they even looked intelligent.

I sighed, then stood up, I didn't feel any weaker, no, I felt stronger. I walked over to a rock and I sat upon it, I grumbled and looked at the sky above me, I hoped that by tomorrow the skies would still be untainted.

Kross started at Tom. Strange. An outburst like that must mean something... Kross stalked over to Tom and asked him. "Brother in arms, what did you mean with that outburst?" Kross wasn't sure what was going to happen, or what Tom was going to say. All he was sure of was that he sensed a large output of radiation drawing nearer and a Bloodclaw howl....

OOC: Guys PLEASE DON'T LET THIS RP DIE!!!!

dont worry i wont let that happen, im putting the final touches on a behemoth post, that will realy set stuff cooking

YAY! It better be good or I'll make Kross claw your eyes out XD

(OOC: Haha, indeed, or I'll just call up my good friend the Lone Wanderer... Wait, wait, where is HE!?)

IC:

I turned to Kross, I let my expressions looked devestated because inside of me they truly were, "Kross, my friend, I think I thought of a way to stop Atom," I heard gasps and people turned towards me. I shook my head, "I think I know exactly what to do, I think I found a way to use a song to kill him, not with words but what they MEAN." I took a breath, "If I can get inside him, that should make this it, I just need to..." I stopped, I felt pain rushing through my body.

I growled and I bowed my head, I felt my muscles ripping apart, like something inside of me was trying to rip me apart. I contained it, barely, but I knew something wanted to show itself, I pushed it deep into my psychic. I'd leave that moment for Atom, I knew that my plan had a great fault, for if Atom survived what I did to him, he would be stronger than ever before. He could already just kill a ghoul with radiation, he was already that powerful, I'd done what I could to change myself...

I stopped, I looked at Kross, then I looked at the Mutants, I looked at myself. I'd made Atom with radiation, could I kill him with it? I stopped and I felt my breath get taken away, of course it wouldn't work, was all I heard in my own head. I growled again, "Kross, get the people ready, Atom WILL be here soon and I don't want to die today." I then stood up and walked away from the Deathclaw, I needed time to recollect my thoughts, I then reached out for Atom's conciousness.

Atom, your plan is to kill everyone and everything in your own power, this is something that we all originally wanted but your pushing your own limits. I know that you won't listen to me and I don't expect you to even understand this, but you WILL fall this day. You WILL not survive, for I know how I can stop your already stopped heart. I dare you to attack us now, for it won't work, for you will not live, tell Eli I said goodbye. Because at least one of us will die.

Kross nodded and stood tall to address the crowd of ghouls, humans, mutants, and the two other Deathclaws.

"Brothers and sisters in arms, prepare for the battle of your lives. Atom is approaching, and Tom seems to have discovered a way to destroy him. But we will be fighting other things. We will be fighting Bloodclaws! They are very similar to myself, bulging muscles and and discipline, but what they lack is intelligence. They're only weakness to my knowledge, is the tendon behind the knee. We will not lose this war I assure you, but we must fight as one and bring the fight to them! My brothers and I will deal with the great one, and Jon will if he wishes. Any of you with custom rounds are welcome to fire on her, but check your fire for my brothers. The power of Atom draws near, but we must not be shunned from our own birthplace! Our own home! Our own family! This time, its not for yourself, of your children, or your best friend, no, today's war is about survival! Let us shred our enemies, and let them burn in hell!!"

As Kross finished, the crowd erupted in cheers, and raised their weapons. Tonight was going to be a blood bath...

*Bump*

(OOC: Come on Luke!... Or *Ahem* Is It Just Me? please hurry up with your behemoth post, we wait and wait...)

*Bump Again* Hurry up Is it just me? or I'll eat your children!! 0.o

(OOC: If anyone's having a lapse of thinking, I suggest listening to Breaking Benjiman, they're very inspirational. Oh and I don't know why but So Cold by them seems to... Remind me of this RP, that's one of the reasons I love it so much, cause I listen to So Cold so much!)

Breaking Benjamin is alright, but to me So Cold doesn't go along with this Rp really?? Maybe, The Diary of Jane?

(OOC: Well... Max, I'm not talking about the whole song, I'm talking about the chorus for So Cold. Go ahead and listen to it now, wait for the chorus, read some of the posts while doing it and... Well for me it went together pretty well, although I get what you mean, but for me... Something's getting in the way, something's just about to break... Kills the Fallout mood for me. Oh and if you don't post something from Jon's point of view I will find where you live!)

OOC: Alright Francois, even though it says where I am

IC

Jon stood, checking his M14 over one last time. He was getting anxious and wanted to get the fight over with. The crowd was amped with Kross' last speach which oddly included him. Jon just figured he would kill Sarah with his rifle, and what he had left of the rounds, he would either use on Eli or himself if the fight didn't go the way he wanted.

"Well, this is going to be interesting." Jon said, quickly going silent. He had little to say in a time that needed little to be said. Some ghouls and others laughed, not realizing Jon was being completely serious. He ignored them, and just continued checking his rifle over and over, waiting for the hour of judgment.

sorry guys moved house and just got my computer back, behemtoh post svcked so im starting again.

===================================================

Atom looked at the army he had amassed, it was an army that even without his divine might could crush the very bedrock of the wastes. Bloodclaws stood tall thier eyes and claws gleaming red in his wonderous glow. Atom adressed not just them but all the wastes his voice booming thrpugh the land for all to her " Bloodclaws you are strong, you are fierce you are true children of Atom this land will fall at your knees and beg for death before your claws, all who stand against me shall perish, none more so than the traitor to your glorious bloodline. He shall feel the true rage of the bloodclaw, his blood shall feed the trees of the wastes and his head shall rest at the feet of the glorious bloodclaw." This drew roared cheers from the assembled crowed. " Here me those of the wastes, none of you shall live. The Age of Atom is begun. " Atom and his force ran, they ran as fast as they could piericng the night sky with thier roars. Over the horizon loomed Megaton and with it five enourmos creatures, obviously Toms elite gaurds. Atom flew attacked the mind of the largest of the beings driving it to its knees, the beast would recover soon but it sent a message. Atom focused his mind on Tom " I will set the world on fire. "

==================================================================

the final battle has begun

I looked up and I growled, there, in the distance, was Atom. I raised my hand and I yelled, "People's of the Wastes, this is it, the end of all ends, the battle of the history of the Wastes! Today, you shall fall, or live, fight for your family's, your friends and if so, your love!" I quickly connected my mind with Atom, I only said one thing, You may wish to set the world on fire, but first, you'll have to deal with the fire in your heart, may you burn my old friend.

I looked at the massive army of Bloodclaws, then at the Mutant, writhing on the ground. He was growling and in pain, I quickly rushed over to him and put my hand on his head, he quickly stopped and rose again. I now had my five Mutant guard, I hoped that they'd stand off against Atom long enough for me to get close to him... The first 8 Bloodclaws that were ahead of Atom's army charged at our own army. I grimaced at the sizes of our force and theirs, they had so many more....

Then I stopped, they had more, but we had something even better. Out of all the Behemoth's I'd brought, only one had changed, I yelled at the top of my voice, "Everyone get the hell back!" I quickly rose my hand and pointed, out of the remains of Megaton jumped a humongous Super Mutant. He quickly ran to the front of our forces, with a shack from the town on a humongous pole, I grinned and looked directly into Atom's eyes. The first 8 bloodclaw's got swiped out of the way by the Super Behemoth, I laughed.

I watched Atom for his reaction, knowing him he'd just point at the Massive Beast and it would fall, I waited to see what evil thing he would do to it. It kept swinging in front of our forces, keeping the few Bloodclaw's that had rushed ahead, back.

(OOC: This is it aye? Nice to see your back my friend! I wish you and your forces, all the best.)
