I can't see what you're imagining
-The Lucky 38-

Hammah and Musashi would find themselves in the penthouse of the Lucky 38, lead by a Securitron to a tall screen, where the image of House looked down at them.

“So you are my intruders? It seems Ms. Nomura hasn't been entirely honest with me,” House said idly, “And you...the blond. What is your name?”

“...My name is Hammah,” Hammah answered, staring up at the monitor. He focused, trying to trace back the signal...

“And you are a technopath? Remarkable, I thought the Enclave purged all of you, too afraid of what someone like you could do to their technology,” House added.

“I...what? No...I'm...” Hammah said, trying to lie.

“Don't bother lying. I can feel you in my system. How do you think I control all my Securitrons, all my data and information network by myself?” House asked. Hammah gasped, eyes widening.

“Yes, I am a technopath. I have been for centuries. I knew the Flare was coming, so I built my Lucky 38, I shielded my Securitrons, and worked to preserve Las Vegas as much as possible. Unfortunately I miscalculated, and the Flare came a day too early. I had to battle system failures, reroute transmissions, fix back up energy sources...But it worked...for the most part. I just needed the Platinum Chip, which the leader of the Rebellion took from me so many years ago, and Ms. Nomura brought to me.” House said. “And now I am on the cusp of attaining the victory I need to secure my position in New Vegas. My Securitrons are activating, and will overrun the Legion, and in turn force the NCR back.”

“But...the Enclave...” Hammah said quietly.

“Oh, you will get aid from me, what I can. Much of my Securitron army will have to stay here, of course, but I can provide funds, mercenaries, technology... It may take some time, but I am confident that with a regular supply chain, the Enclave can be taken down. They are already eating themselves up from the inside.”

“No! We have to stop them now!” Hammah yelled, “We can't just wait!”

“You are under the impression that I am giving you a choice. I only let you up here because you are a fellow technopath. You're friend, however...isn't...”

The Securitrons moved towards Musashi now...

“...No!” Hammah yelled, closing his eyes and focusing. The Securitrons froze, and House cried out.

“What are you doing?” House yelled, “What is...the Chip! You put some kind of back door in through it! No matter, I will close it soon enough...”

House's image vanished, and Hammah turned to Musashi.

“We don't have long! Find a console somewhere, it might lead us to where House really is! That's the only way to stop him!” Hammah yelled.

-Hoover Dam-

Peterson cursed again, “Damn. Hopefully the pilot will see the fighting and be able to pull back in time...In the meantime, keep them back! We need reenforcements, along the flanks!”



“Nanami, I don't mean to pry, but we could really use those Securitrons now,” Cess said to Nanami, “Are you sure Hammah and Musashi will be able to pull it off?”

-Camp McCarren-

Galv pulled Melanie down, away from the bullets. Samuel jumped in front of Kanna, the bullets bouncing off of him.

Ethan rushed forward, moving low and punching forward, hitting the Legionnaire dead in the chest with his fist, punching through it, his arm coming out through the other side.

He then spun, pulling his arm out and taking the rifle from the now dead Legionnaire, and unloaded the clip into the second one.

“Rookies,” Ethan spat.

-Safe House-

“You learn to cook in the Wastes,” Edda said with a shrug, heading Chloe the plate, “At least we're not actually in the Wastes, or you'd be eating a nutritious breakfast of cooked gecko and wild greens.”

He smirked a little, “How are you doing, anyways?”

[Lucky 38]

Musashi frowned as House immediately noticed what Hammah was. When the robots started coming, Musashi reached for his sword. He rushed at the nearest Securitron – but suddenly Hammah was able to freeze it with his own technopathic powers.

“Dude, that's awesome!” Musashi cried out. Then Hammah reminded him they needed to find a console, so he nodded and rushed, looking for one.

He looked around the room, a bit afraid that the robots would reactivate and try to kill him. Then his eyes fell on a computer console along the far wall, behind some curtains.

“Is that it? What do I do?”

Musashi was not a tech guy. He was a stabbing guy.

[Hoover Dam]

“They'll have to.” Nanami said. She was crouched down, messing with her bow. “Hammah can handle it, and Musashi isn't as dumb as he looks.”

She stood up. She had attached a lighter to the front of her bow, and rigged her arrows with an explosive compound on them. She looked down at a group of approaching Legionnaires and let fly one of the arrows – it struck the Legionnaire in the middle, instantly consuming him in flames – and a small explosion spread the flames to the others.

“Until they arrive, we just have to fight.” Nanami said.

[Camp McCarren]

Rica got a bullet in the chest, but by the time Ethan had killed the Legionnaires he was back on his feet, groaning and clutching the wound.

“Damn... we need to get someplace safe... this is no ordinary attack.” Rica groaned.

-Lucky 38-

“You got to...hold on...” Hammah said, closing his eyes for a moment, his face flushed. So much data, and House was fighting back. One of the Securitrons began to move, slowly.

He stumbled to the computer, focusing on it. The Securitrons were moving more earnestly now. The computer chimed, and a false wall was revealed, sliding back and leading them to an elevator.

Along with two fully active Securitrons, who fired at Hammah and Musashi!

-Hoover Dam-

“Gotcha. I'll be ghosting then,” Cess said. He vanished, only to reappear down the line, slashing with some daggers as he materialized, only to disappear again before the Legionnaires could target him, moving here and there and taking out various opponents.

-Camp McCarren-

“Right...” Samuel said, “Galv, Jason. You two get Melanie and Kanna to safety. Rica, Ethan, and I will hold back the Legion out here. Rica and I can last for a while, and Ethan knows how they fight.”

Galv frowned, but nodded, “Once Melanie is safe, I'll come back to help...”

“No, stay with her...protect her...” Samuel said, then looked to Rica and Ethan, “You two with me on this?”

“Sure,” Ethan smirked, “If I'm lucky the Legate is here, but I rather assume he's at Hoover Dam in some simultaneous attack.”

Camp McCarren

Jason nodded, grabbing Kanna's arm and leading her out of the room as the bullet rang out.

Melanie was about to leave as well but hesitated "You guys be careful" she called out, worriedly looking to Rica. She felt as if she and her father had been put in a lot more life threatening situations since they discovered that they were related. "Don't die, any of youQ"

She then went off with Galv and the others, hopefully heading to the center of the building...All the while she clutched his hand tightly, shuddering as she heard glass break around them from the gunshots.

Safe House

Chloe grimaced at Edda's joke, gaging slightly. "Oh gross, you guys actually ate stuff like that? Nasty"

This coming from a child of the Capitol, who actually ate quite well until she was thrown in the games. "I'm pretty sure my parents used to threaten to give me stuff like that if I was bad, you know, as a joke."

She then took the food, chewing slowly as Edda asked how she was. She gave a shrug. "Decent, got the first good sleep since those damn games started which is always nice. What about you?"

[...]

Sarai nodded, glad that they were together as well...She needed Connor and it seemed as if he needed her too. Both kids weren't very stable right now...

"C-Can I stay with you tonight?" she asked quietly, before realizing how it probably sounded "N-N-Not to do anything...I-I'm just not u-used to being alone. I'll stay by the door. I sleep better on t-t-the floor anyways."

Sarai sighed, pressing her hair behind her ears.

[Lucky 38]

“GRAH!”

Musashi screamed out as a bullet pierced his left arm. He groaned in pain and dropped his sword, but he quickly grabbed a plasma pistol from his belt and raised it, firing wildly at the two Securitrons behind the wall.

Thick globs of plasma shot at them, one sinking into the Securitron on the right and melting through its screen. He missed the one on the left, though.

“Hammah, we're in trouble here!” Musashi shouted.

[Hoover Dam]

Nanami nodded to Cess as he vanished. She knew he was capable of weaving in and out of their ranks with his ability, and she hoped he would be able to stay one step ahead of the blades. She remained stationary, firing her incendiary arrows into the crowd of Legionnaires, the flames spreading like napalm.

She paused. Her eyes narrowed as she watched the flames dancing, and suddenly to her amazement one of the smaller fires roared up under her glare and became much, much bigger – burning a large amount of Legionnaires where they stood.

“... F*ck.” Nanami muttered to herself. She should have been overjoyed to learn she had an ability she never knew before, but she knew the only reason she could do such a thing was because of him... her father.

[Camp McCarren]

Rica nodded as he inspected an assault rifle he had looted from a corpse.

“I'm fine with it...” He turned to look at Jason and Galv. “Just make sure you keep Melanie... and Kanna, safe.” He stated.

Outside, the fighting was getting louder and louder. Explosions, gunshots, screams....

[Safe House]

Connor blinked when Sarai asked if she could stay with him tonight. Although Connor has a much cleaner mind that most characters, he couldn't help but blush the instant she said it.

However, his mind quickly moved away from that and onto just how sad Sarai sounded when she said she would be happy to sleep on the floor. He walked over to her, shaking his head and wrapping his arms around her.

“You can stay with me every night.” Connor whispered. “... but, you should sleep on the bed. I-I don't mean anything dirty, I just want you to start living a good life again.”

Safe House

Sarai stiffened a bit when Connor moved against her, hugging her tightly. She didn't mean to sound like some crazy charity case, sleeping on the floor was what she was used to. She hadn't slept in a bed since she was twelve, and now it was slightly claustrophobic to be surrounded by masses of puffy pillows and blankets. She also wasn't used to sleeping alone, while Avox servant could not talk there was always at least a few people with colds or bad coughs, and sometimes there was the sounds of people crying-

OKAY. Enough of the dark depressing past thoughts! Sarai wanted to focus on the present! She was safe now and practically free! Sure, she was uncomfortable-

But she would suck it up for Connor.

"I'd l-like that" Sarai said softly, offering him a small smile.

[Safe House]

Connor, of course, had no idea why Sarai didn't like the idea of sleeping in a bed. He still didn't know all the horrible details about her time as an Avox, and if he had known, he likely never would have stopped hugging her. He just hoped that she would sleep better in his arms... and that Chloe and Edda wouldn't assume the worst of the two sharing a bed.

“I promise Sarai... things are going to get better.” Connor whispered. “We're going to get away from here, far away from all of this pain... and we can be together, and we won't have to worry about any of this stuff ever again...”

-Camp McCarren-

Samuel hurried outside, immediately running into one Legionnaire. Samuel produced a knife, stabbing the Legionnaire in the throat while ignoring the desperate gun shots of the man, then pushed him back.

Ethan moved forward as well, smashing through a couple other Legionnaires himself!



Galv took Melanie's hand as they headed away from the fighting. Erin followed as well, clutching the knife still.

From a corner came a figure, and a Legionnaire turned, spotting them.

“Halt! You will be taken as prisoners, for the glory of Caesar!” the Legionnaire yelled, holding up his hands.

He paused, then gulped, wavering and clawing at his throat, gasping for air.

Erin was glaring at the man, the Legionnaire collapsing after a few moments when Erin sucked the air from his lungs. Once he was down and out, Erin stepped forward, then stabbed the man in the throat.

“No one's capturing me again...” Erin muttered.

-Lucky 38-

Hammah spun, grabbing a grenade from his pocket.

“Get down...” Hammah said to Musashi, then activated it, throwing it at the other Securitron. It exploded, sending out a wave of electrical energy that shut down the Securitron!

“Pulse Grenade...” Hammah said, then hurried to the elevator, activating the computer by it. “Come on...in here...We'll...get to House...”

-Hoover Dam-

Cess stabbed another Legionnaire, ducking a super sledge attack, before sheathing his knives and producing two hand guns. He fired now, taking out the Legionnaire before running forwards, turning intangible and dashing through the dying man, before opening fire on a couple stunned Legionnaires...

-Safe House-

“It's not that bad,” Edda answered, shrugging slightly. Then Chloe asked how he was.

“Bed's more comfortable then I'm use to, but I'm not complaining. If I can sleep on a rock, I can sleep on a bed,” Edda answered, “I'm a survivalist, I take what I can get.”

He paused for a moment, then frowned, “Your parents...Didn't they sign you up for the Games? I mean...I can't imagine why anyone would do that. Heck, my parents taught me how to fight and handle myself because I needed to be able to out in the Wastes.”

Preparing your child for danger was one thing. Throwing them head first into it was quite another.

[Camp McCarren]

Suddenly, several NCR soldiers screamed out in pain as their bodies were consumed by flames. A figure came rushing into the Camp, tossing fireballs left and right. It was a figure who had been seen during the Hunger Games – Sire!

He was a tribute, but he had escaped during the confusion and returned to his previous master... Caesar. Now, he was leading the assault on McCarren!

… and he was heading right towards Galv, Melanie, Erin, Jason and Kanna...

[Lucky 38]

“Nice one,” Musashi called. He rushed after Hammah, clutching his bleeding arm and trying not to pass out from blood loss. His eyes scanned the room, and he spotted a large cylindrical tube in the back of the room, beyond a walkway.

“What the heck is that thing?”

[Hoover Dam]

The drums got louder and louder. Somewhere, Harold Saxon was crying. A huge group of Legionnaires were coming forward, and in the middle of them was a mountain of a man in heavy, concrete armor and wielding a massive sword.

It was The Legate, Lanius. Caesar's right hand, and the most dangerous man in the Legion.

Safe House

Sarai liked when Connor told her that everything would be alright...She wasn't sure if she believed him, but it gave her something to look forward to in life.

Sarai offered the boy another smile, moving to his side and taking a bite of the bacon on his plate....She raised a brow. It was very salty....But good...VERY good. She took another bite and sat down in front of Connor's plate, all of a sudden hungry. About halfway through the plate she looked up, face red. "S-Sorry, i'm eating all your food"

She pushed it back towards Connor. "Eat"

[...]

Your parents...Didn't they sign you up for the Games? I mean...I can't imagine why anyone would do that. Heck, my parents taught me how to fight and handle myself because I needed to be able to out in the Wastes.”

Chloe nodded, taking a few bites of food as she looked to Edda. "In the Capitol it's not require to send kids in the games, but there's some sense of strange honor in doing. If you look like you'll have good odds parents will take the risk. They train you early and then stick you in by bribing the gamemakers. It's pretty simple actually."

Chloe sighed, looking down at her meal.

"My parents were idiots....But they made me strong I guess...They got be trained and I guess thanks to them I survived the games."


Safe House

A soldier appeared....And Erin killed the CRAP OUT OF HIM. Jason was half terrified and half impressed.

Melanie couldn't bear to look at the bloody mess in front of them. She buried her face against Galv's shoulder for a moment, hiding it from sight.

"Erin calm down!" Jason exclaimed, finally deciding that he probably shouldn't be impressed at his girlfriend stabbing someone this much. He rushed over there, taking her arm. "Come on, we have to keep moving"

All the while Kanna was quiet, glaring at the girl...Judging.

And then Sire appeared. Oh snap.

"Sh*t!" Jason couldn't help but to curse, having seen the other boy on the television...He was ready to kill now for himself. His hands went bright and he threw several balls of energy at Sire!

[Camp McCarren]

Sire rushed forward, dodging past Jason's light balls. He was very well trained, being the Legate's apprentice, and had trained himself to dodge projectiles. He rushed closer to the group, and leaped at Jason, raising a steely knife in his hand and trying to stab the boy in the chest!

[Safe House]

Connor smiled to Sarai as he watched her eat. He wondered how long it had been since she had a good meal. When she realized she was eating most of his food and went red in the cheeks, Connor just laughed a little and shook his head.

“It's okay. I'm just glad we have food we can share.” Connor smiled, and he took a strip of bacon for himself. He was hungry after all that had happened.

-Lucky 38-

Hammah paused, then handed Musashi a Stimpack. He tended to carry some medical supplies on him, due to his mom.

“Here...for your arm...” Hammah said, then walked towards the tube, stopping at the computer by it.

“And it's House...” Hammah said quietly, “No matter how big of a technopath he is, he still has to have a body...”

Hammah's hands paused over the controls. He had been in the Games...forced to fight for his life, against people trying to kill him. But this was...this was different.

Hammah sighed, then typed in some commands. The tube hissed open, and a figure came out from it.

The real Mr. House sat in the tube, old and feeble, only clinging to life from the life support in the systems.

“No...Why! Everything...ruined...” House rasped at Hammah, black eyes unable to see anything anymore.

“I'm sorry...I'm so sorry...” Hammah said, “But you should have died a long time ago...You've lived so long, you can't see humanity for the humans anymore...”

“No! You fool! You naïve fool!” House rasped, weak arms flailing slightly. “You've ruined everything! Now no one can stop the Enclave!”

“We're not going to trade on dictator for another,” Hammah said, “I'll put you back in your tube.”

“I...will...die...” House rasped, “I have been exposed...I will last a year at most...”

“I know,” Hammah said, tapping at the computer, “There's a lot of processing power in this. I'm setting up a subroutine for you. It'll...help you pass, as peacefully as possible...”

Hammah frowned, as Mr. House let out a mournful wail, going back into the tube, his screams and the alarms turning off as it hissed.

Hammah shook a little, clenching his fists, summoning images of his family. His parents. His brother. His sister... This was for them.

“Alright...” Hammah said, then clutched the computer for support, focusing, “I'm taking control of the main frame now...”

-Hoover Dam-

Cess frowned, seeing the Legate now. He holstered his hand guns, moving backwards and turning himself invisible. He'd have to be careful. One false move, and...

Suddenly an explosion, large and violent, from somewhere behind the Legion.

Lasers, missiles, guns shooting. The Protectrons were activated, and coming from the other side...



Nanami's radio would crackle!

“Nanami...this is...Hammah. Securitrons are active. I set them to attack the Legion. If you need them to do anything else, let me know. They should also respond to your commands...” Hammah sounded very tired.

-Camp McCarren-

Erin stepped forward now, glaring at Sire. The wind picked up around her, then shot forward at Sire as he attacked Jason, attempting to throw him back with a powerful blast of wind!

-Safe House-

Edda frowned, “No. The reason you survived the Games is because the Rebellion showed up. You would have survived just as well if your parents hadn't put some stupid thing like honor in front of their kid's needs.”

Edda didn't care too much for honor. You paid your debts, and you didn't screw people over, but he didn't see the point in dying to no ends, or just for glory.

Safe House

Jason threw his hands up as Sire jumped at him, the boy's hands suddenly burning brightly. He then stumbled back, trying to distance himself from Sire and blind him at the same time.

"Jason!" Melanie exclaimed, rushing from Galv for a moment to help her brother. She didn't get too far though as Kanna grabbed her and pushed the girl back. "Go with Galv Melanie, we'll handle this!"

Safe House

Chloe grinned, picking up a piece of bacon. "No use in thinking about how crappy my parents are, I don't plan on going back to them once this is all said and done. Maybe i'll get my own place out of the Capitol...Maybe the countryside where I can toss around big rocks when I get pissed."

[...]

Sarai smiled, moving to eat more now that she was feeling comfortable enough to. "Maybe w-when this is a-all done I c-c-can cook a real m-meal for you" She then paused, pink in the cheeks "D-Don't worry it's s-s-something I l-like to do! It's n-not work for m-me"

[Lucky 38]

Musashi gazed upon House. The true Robert House. A man who had lived for centuries, hooked in a tube. He so feared death that he had gone to extremes to avoid it. Musashi shook her head.

“... Just be glad Nanami isn't with us. She'd kill you right now. Personally, I feel sorry for you...”

He turned away from the tube. He doubted House had even heard him.

“We need to go...”

[Hoover Dam]

The Protectrons were coming. The Legate turned towards them as he saw them coming. He just sneered beneath his helmet, and charged at them!

[…]

“Good work Hammah.” Nanami replied over the radio. “You sent more of them to McCarren, right?”

[Camp McCarren]

Sire was thrown back by the wind, but not very far. He crashed into the ground, but his heavy concrete armor made him very tough to hurl around with the wind.

“Oh girly, you just made a BIG mistake! We're gonna have some fun.” Sire said to Erin, and he charged at her!

[Safe House]

Connor nodded, with a big smile.

“I'd like that, Sarai. I just want us to have a happy time together... we deserve it after all of this.”

-Lucky 38-

Hammah paused, “McCarren? Errrr, no...Do you need...Never mind, you wouldn't ask if they weren't.”

Hammah focused, sending orders out, some of the Securitrons heading for McCarren now.

“They're on their way, but it'll take some time to get there...I can send some from The Strip and be there sooner, but I can't guarantee they'll be anything more then a distraction, depending on the amount of Legion there...” Hammah said, then turned his attention back to Musashi.

“I'll head back to that suite. I can better coordinate all the Securitrons from this building. I don't want to just leave them on automatic unless I have to,” Hammah told him.

-Camp McCarren-

Galv paused, then nodded to Jason, taking Melanie in his arms now, scooping the girl up and hurrying off, taking her to safety.

Meanwhile Erin glared at Sire, holding the knife tightly.

“I've handled worse! I survived a Games!” Erin yelled at Sire as he charged. She focused, sending a concentrated blast of air at Sire's head, holding her knife and ready to try and slash at any weak points in his concrete armor!

-Hoover Dam-

Cess frowned. Someone needed to focus on the Legate and take him down. Someone who was a skilled fighter. Someone who wouldn't be as irreplaceable if they fell while taking the Legate down.

And he knew, between him and Nanami, it was more important if Nanami lived to fight another die.

Now he just hoped he would too.

“Hey, meat head!” Cess yelled at the Legate, becoming visible about ten yards from him, “So your Caesar's dog? Do you fetch his slippers in the morning too?”

There was also the possibility that if he lived through this, Nanami would kill him for being an idiot.

-Safe House-

“You could come see the Wastes. Lots of rocks and things to hit, places to explore,” Edda mentioned with a shrug, “I'm not sure I'd want to stay in Panem once everything goes down...even if the Rebels win. Life will still get harder before it gets better, especially for those in the capitol...”

Edda frowned, “If things go bad...really bad...We should head south. Just keep heading south, until we hit...what's the old world country? Hmmm...Brazil? Some place like that. Should be nice, not many people, or any, probably...”
