Chapter 10: Distress
Sector 19: Durim’sClub 19:00
The black agents walked across the street and pushed open the door to the now quiet nightclub. A small green light came on behind the door as they kept walking, "I can't believe this place is deserted already," they walked through the empty club and into the VIP room.
"Looks like STAM ripped this place apart already too," 014 dragged her finger across the window sill to see it come back dustless.
Keiko sighed, "Looks like we won't find him here...any clues as to where he would go?"
"I don't-" Aku suddenly felt her hairs stand up straight, "DUCK!"
Without hesitating, Keiko dropped to the ground just in time as the wall behind her was busted open and Ryuichi flew through the hole. He had his fist pulled back and flew toward Aku. In only a second Aku grabbed Ryuichi by the arm and threw him through the wall behind her, "013, let's get out of here quick!"
Kei jumped to her feet and nodded but was quickly pushed back to the ground and pulled out of the hole in the wall.
"Look what I caught in my trap," the voice she was being pulled toward sneered.
Keiko looked over and saw Hiroto, shit.
Aku ran out after her, pulling her katana out through a shadow, and quickly cut through the string, "Come on, come on!" her voice was serious.
Keiko jumped to her feet and sent a huge gust of wind to Hiro who braced against the attack, "They've ambushed us. We can't get out of here Hiro has made a barrier!"
"What?!" Aku looked around and faintly saw the steel strings that blocked all route of escape, "Can you take him?"

Keiko nodded, "If you can take Ryuichi,"
Aku clenched her jaw, "We just need an opening,"
"I’m on it!" Keiko pushed off the ground with extra air and flew toward Hiro. If she could just get him to break the barrier, they could escape.
"Ryu!!! Take them out now!!" Hiro screamed as he began blocking the elemental’s attacks.
"Right!" Ryuichi punched his gloved fists together and sent sparks flying.
Aku looked at his gloves nervously, his anti-mutant weapon was a tricky one to battle against, and Keiko was fighting with her weakest element. It would be up to her battle with Ryuichi.
Ryu lunged forward first and bent down low to hit her in the ribs. She quickly moved to barely miss the attack and pushed her knee deep into the soft spot between his ribs. Ryu lurched at the impact and fell to the ground to catch his breath. Aku didn't waste anytime to continue her attack and jumped up to land a kick on his back as he coughed for air. Ryuichi quickly fell on his back and caught her ankle, burning it with his glove, and threw her across the field all the way into the barrier.
She turned to see Keiko's wrist get caught in one of Hiro's strings. Hiro send a current through it and she was jolted with a big burst of electricity but quickly knocked Hiro to the ground and freed herself from his grasp.
The two mutants quickly stood back to back and faced their opponents. Their breath was heavy and they both were determined to make it out as they were about to lunge for their enemies they felt the small bracelet around their wrist buzz. Keiko saw the message come up in her eyes thanks to the nerve connection from the omnibook and gasped at the message, "00- she's hit the distress button!" Without having time to react to the news, they were pushed back into battle, uncertain of what was going on.

Sector 6: The Factory District
Arisa stood, her nerves taking her as she stood in a darkened room. She took a deep and shaky breath as she stood face to face with someone she didn't expect, not that she wore her own face. Ping said that he didn't come directly! What have I done?
The tall man grinned wildly, a wooden sword draped over his shoulders, "So tell me Ping, how much did you bring for me this time?"
Arisa gulped hard in the face of the dealer, Kimaru....the dealer.

Fallout: Vault X
An original novel set in the Fallout universe, written to be accessible to all, featuring unique people and places. Vol.II. out now Fallout: Vault X tells the story of John. A vault dweller, who spent every day of his twenty five years underground. Like his father, and his father before him. Proud to live in the last remaining bastion of humanity, all that survived The Great War of the atomic age. Hidden deep below the surface of the earth, toiling under brutal conditions. Year after year, decade upon decade. All to expand into the natural cave system the Vault occupied, building for the future. However, John knew what his forefathers did not, that everything he’d been taught was a lie. After finishing school at the age of ten, John received his standard issue pipboy. An arm mounted personal computer, worn by everyone in the Vault. Used to coordinate the relentless pace of expansion, needed to work as an apprentice. To learn the craft that would be his life’s work. A noble calling to ensure a future for all that remained of the human race. A quirk of fate saw John equipped not with the crude, clunky, pipboy model his father wore. That almost everyone around him wore. His looked smaller, sleeker, finished in a jet black sheen. And capable of doing far more than its drab counterparts. The world above had been ravaged by atomic flames, yet life clung to its bones. The Red Valley fared better than most in the century since the bombs fell. The clean water and rich soil protected by rolling hills. All spared from direct strikes, for the most part. Life survived here. Trees spawned from charred ground, misshapen, green leaves turned red. Along with simple crops, grown wild at first, then cultivated by the survivors. The scavengers of the old world were inventive, hardy people. All determined to rebuild in the ruins of a world they never knew. In the decades that passed settlements emerged. They grew, spreading along the valley floor. Reclaiming the pre-war remnants of the once industrialised heartland. Salvaging the robotic wonders of a bygone age to build their walls and work their fields. To protect them in the dark of the wasteland. But such things are uncommon in this world, and the rarer something is, the greater its value. And the worth of pre-war technology had not gone unnoticed. The last, real, power in this world rested in the mechanised hands of The Brotherhood of Steel. Forged from the mortally wounded old world military. The Brotherhood used its access to the weapons made for a conflict no one won to strike out into the wastes. Men and women were equipped with advanced armour, aerial transportation, high grade weaponry. Accompanied by the training, strength, and will, to put them to use. They established chapters and set up outputs far and wide. All dedicated to a single purpose. To ensure the technology left abandoned by its long dead creators didn’t fall into the wrong hands. Namely, any hands that were not their own. This is the world John escaped into. A place of horrors brought forth from atomic fire. A place where survival meant battling against the darkness. Fighting a war each day to get to the next. And war...war never changes
