-Todd's PoV-

"So. You're the one who killed my brother." The Moonblood said and looking at me.

"I had to... " I said with an angry stare, I didn't mentioned Corbin shooting him because I don't this psycho lady going after him or his sister. "He would've killed the rest of the Villagers!"

She looked at the warmbloods behind than back to me, then chuckle.

"How honorable of you, But honor is far beyond the warmbloods view. " She said, then readied her sword.

"You want honor." I put away my shotgun and brought out my katana in its sheath. She gasp on seeing my katana and so did the orange hair girl. "You'll get one."

"That's... No it can't be!"

"Oh, for fuck sake. Not this again."

"Where did you get that!? It-"

"Listen lady I bought this blade from Mick & Ralph's, So I don't know what the hell you talking about!" I said.

She charges at me, I quickly dodge and pull out my katana. When she turned around, looked at each other with our weapons ready then she said, " We shall see..."

After a brief moment of silence, The moonblood charged at me again but I held my ground this time and blocked her attack. I attacked back, but she blocked every slash I make and her purple markings started to glow. Didn't know why she's glowing until she threw her double bladed sword, then dodged it but came back. I quickly jumped over the sword which it hits a tree, then charged at the moonblood girl before she can summon her sword back at me. Manage to slash at her chest armor two times and was about pierce her center, but jumped over me to get away. She grabbed her sword and tries to strike me down, But I quickly dodged the attack. So I ran close to her with a hard hit and block again. With our weapon clashing each, we gave each other a stair in the eyes and push each other back. She attack at a fast speed, I manage block them. One of the attacks manage to get my hat, which is now on her blade. She immediately ripped it off, That was my favorite hat. She started glowing again, this time spins her weapon then throwing it at me. Like last time I quickly dodged it, and came back this time coming right for my head. I got to the ground quickly and the sword came back to her, when I got up from ground she landed behind me and slashed my back before I could turn making a huge cut, which caused me to drop my katana.

Everyone was shocked on what happened, seeing this cause the troopers to draw their rifles and aim at the moonblood. When they were about to shoot her, I turned around and hit the moonblood head with my katana sheath. Then I clenched my fist and Punch her straight in the face causing her upper left part of her mask to break, showing a violet color eye. Throw in a upper cut which cause her to fall to the ground. I walk close to her, but she got back up and stopped me.

"Enough!" She yelled.

"..."

"Your determination and fighting skills is very admirable. But that blade... Its Elysian."

I didn't know what she means by that. I was about to ask her some questions, but it looks like she is about to leave. She glows once more, then that one monster with her leaves.

"I'll spare the Warmbloods... For now. But beware... They'll come for you and Ginger." She said.

"What do you mean-"

"Farewell." She jumped away before the troopers could chase her.

My vision begin to blur, I touched my back to see some sort of purple substance on my hand. Then after a moment of silence, I fall to the ground and my vision begins to darken. I could hear footsteps coming towards me, voices came next to me but couldn't hear the sentence right.

"Six! Six Ple... get ..!"

"He's ...n pois... get him ... safe!"

"Todd!"

I completely blacked out.

...

-3rd PoV-

When the monsters retreated, The Rangers along the troopers who defended the gate gather dead bodies the of monsters and putting them in a pile. While Chief Hanlon was talking to the warmblood name Dust.

"So let me get this straight, You people here are a military called NCR, who came from another world by a hole in the sky?" Dust asked.

"It was like something out of a one of those pre-war children comic books, it took everyone who was at the Dam and all of Hoover Dam itself."

"Is this all the people who were sucked by that hole?" Dust asked again while looking at the camp then at every Personnel in sight.

"Frankly no, there were more than this including some follower doctors and BoS soldiers. We don't know this new world or how hostile it is. But meeting you say there's civilize folks here not just these monsters." Chief Hanlon said.

"Must been rough, for your people's first day here."

Before the Chief could say anything else, A ranger came to him with a surprise look on his face.

"What is it ranger?"

"A group of troopers arrived including The Courier along with some locals of this land. But he's badly injured." The Ranger said, then the three went to where the group of NCR personnel are and saw Todd being bandage up by a Veteran Ranger.

"What happened?" Dust asked.

"He fought some sort of lizard lady and was slashed his back by her sword, Then she ran away." A trooper replied. Dust looked at Todd, then heard some people trying to get in the crowd and saw the people from Aurora along with Fidget and Ginger. The two were shocked to see who's in front of them.

"...Dust?" Fidget said with tears in her eyes.

Dust looks at them then smile with tears coming down his face, then Fidget flew towards him and hug him on the head.

"It's good to see you again, Fidget."

Ginger walks up to Dust and slaps him in the face with both mad and sad expression, it also caused Fidget to let go of Dust's head.

"Don't... Ever do something stupid like that again!" Ginger shouted.

"Ginger, I-" Dust was cut off when she hugged him. Ginger begins to cry on his shoulder, he wrapped his arm around her and embraced the hug. Some of the troopers and rangers didn't know what's going on, as for the ones who do smile on the reunion including the misfits and the people from Aurora, Then two 1st recon troopers carry Todd to the medical area of the camp.

"Dust!"

"Corbin?" He said and Both Corbin and Colleen ran up to him, then gave him a hug while Ginger was still hugging him. Fidget came in to hug Dust's head.

"Uh...Guys? Your crushing me..."

"Just let it happen Dust." Fidget replied with a smirk.

...

Unknown Village Inside a House

One fox warmblood wearing a royal assassin uniform was chatting on a device with someone while two were guarding him, one male mouse warmblood with leather armor carrying a sword, and one rabbit female with metal armor carrying a hammer.

"I don't know your majesty, The monsters somehow stop their attacks on the village and others -"

While he was talking the two warmbloods talk to one another.

"So how do you think the monsters stopped? Can it be the moonbloods doing." The male warmblood asked.

"Maybe... Or it could of been someone took down their leader." The female warmblood replied.

"But who could of manage to stop those beast's leader?"

"That... I do not know."

"Yes your majesty, I'll wait for the soldiers arrival and handle the new arrivals of Falana, I won't fail you." He said and turn off the device. He turn to the two soldiers and tell them about the current order.

"There are soldiers from the royal lands coming to aid us for the new arrivals. But first we need to know what they're doing, find the moonbloods and their sympathizers." The assassin said.

"What would you have us do?" The male warmblood asked.

The assassin looks at the mouse and walk up to him in a serious manner.

"Hunt down any sympathizers you could find, show them what happen to traitors, Do what you think is necessary! Have your some of your Militia troops ready Kale. As for you Tabris."

"Hm?" She replied.

"It's about a blacksmith from Archers' Pass..."

...

-Todd PoV-

1 Day Later.

During my unconscious state, There was nothing until I was in a different village which was familiar to me somehow. At first it was all nice and normal, but then it was engulfed in flames like the other dream. Suddenly I smell something awfully, which smell like... Blood. I looked on the ground only to see corpses of dead people and blood, it was a bloodbath. I could tell that these were Warmbloods. I heard heavy footsteps behind me, I turned slowly only to see a warmblood. He wore this blue and purple armor, have long hair with a beard, a purple cape, and wielding a big sword. He was staring at me with hatred on his face.

"Who the hell are you!? Why did you kill these people!?" I asked.

He said nothing.

"Answer me damn it!"

He didn't, but charged at me in a fast speed. I had no weapon and try to run, but manage to get close to me and slash me.

...

I woke up breathing hard again, only to wake up somewhere different. There were injured NCR troopers and engineers, also see the 1st recon troopers being the medics.

"Huh... Wasn't expecting this. Guess this is where the distress call is from, but where are the warmbloods at?" I thought to myself.

"Oh, Your awake! Some of us thought you weren't gonna wake up." I turn to see Moska with Sarahi carrying medical supplies then resume what they're doing.

"You should of dodge more quick." After hearing that, I remember who voice that and turn around to see Boone standing behind me.

"Hey, Boone. Good to see you survived like most of the people here, did the others make it?" I asked him.

"I'm not sure about Veronica, Cass, Or Arcade. But ED-E..." He said, while stopping when he said ED-E's name. Then I saw something crawl to his right shoulder, it was some sort of bat thing.

"Six!" The bat said.

"Wait, ED-E?!" I was surprised to see ED-E being this instead of a beat up eyebot.

"Yeah, It's me. I'm a Nimbat!"

"A Nimbat?" I said, then another one flew in and it's a female with different colors.

"There you are, I was looking for you!" She said to ED-E.

"Who she?" I asked, then she looked at me.

"Me? I'm Fidget! Guardian of the sword of Ahrah!"

"...Um."

"What?"

"Don't mean to be rude, but aren't you small to be a guardian?" I asked

"That what I asked when I first met her." A warmblood with a cape and a hat, walked in. He then said to me his name, "I'm Dust"

"Hey, your that guy who helped Corbin. Oh, Todd by the way" I said.

"Corbin told me about you, Todd. You're a courier right? Didn't know a delivery person can fight so well." Dust said to me with a smile.

"When you live in a world that's been destroyed filled with mutants and psychopaths, You got to prepare yourself."

"Dust, We should get going." I have no Idea where that voice came from.

"Where are you guys going?" I asked, Also I notice the sword with him was glowing.

"I'm heading to Archers' pass, There's a blacksmith I know who can build some items for me. Then somewhere important."

When I heard blacksmith, I knew there's someone who can fix things. So I asked Dust if he could take a rifle of mine and let the blacksmith fix it.

"Hey Dust, If you don't mind could you bring my broken weapon to that blacksmith friend of yours?"

"I'll see if she can do it." He said, Then I handed him my broken Survivalist rifle and a schematic of the rifle which I made myself back in the Mojave.

When he was about to leave, Fidget flew to him.

"You want me to come along, like old times?" Fidget asked.

"Why wouldn't I Fidget. I'm used to you being with me." Said Dust.

As they leave, Fidget yell to ED-E "Don't worry, We'll continue when I get back!"

I look at ED-E who was waving goodbye to them. I guess ED-E doesn't know how to fly and Fidget is helping, that's was nice of her. I got up from the medical bed and was about to get my duster, shirt, and mask until I Boone stopped me for a second.

"Listen, We maybe in a another world. But there more to it than just these animal people or the monster." He said.

"I got a feeling we're brought to this world on purpose. Why though?" I asked.

ED-E jump on my right shoulder, then before Boone leave. He turn his head to me and said.

"I don't know, but while you're out there, you may find the answers about all of this. Also Todd."

"What, Boone?" I asked.

"I think you should get yourself clean up. Smell like you've been dead for awhile." He said then leave.

After that I thought to myself in a moment of silence Maybe Boone is right, Maybe there is an answer to vortex and the dreams I'm getting. That I just need to find some clues on what's going on and stop whatever causing all of this.

Then I smelled myself ... Boone was right. I do smell like a dead man.

"But where the hell do I wash myself?" I said.

"Oh I know where, It's a river south from here where Ginger is going. Why don't you just wash there?" Said ED-E.

I looked at ED-E with a confused expression, washing in a open area.

"...You got to be kidding me."

...

At a river

Well he wasn't kidding and it was in a forest which was fine, So I just go with it and went straight here. The water looks clean like the ones near Hoover Dam back at the Mojave, ED-E climb down my back, I was about unwrapped my bandage. I know I was recently cut by a double bladed sword, Thankfully I brought an extra bandage to wrap up my wound when I'm done. When my bandage was off, I touch my back and felt the wound been stitched up.

"Thank god those snipers know how to stitch up a wound."

I proceed to take my remaining clothes off except my boxers, then get in the water. It was cold that shivered for a moment, then started washing myself. ED-E is just minding his own business, sitting right next to my clothes and thinking about something.

During my bath, I thought I heard a small scream, but I just shrugged thought it was just in my head and continue. Until the scream became louder, me and ED-E looked at where the scream is coming from.

"That sounds like Ginger, She's in trouble!" Said ED-E.

"Stay here, ED-E. I got this."

"But-"

"You haven't mastered that body yet. So please stay safe here." I told ED-E, then follow the river to where Ginger is at.

...

-3rd PoV-

On the other part of the river

A group of seven armed male warmbloods surround Ginger while she was naked.

"Well... If it isn't the lizard sympathizing whore, Who was there when Gaius died along with some of the soldiers who fought with him." One of them Said.

"Soldiers who were some of our family member!" Another said who hold Ginger from behind. She struggle to get free, but the guy behind her hold her tightly. One came in front of Ginger looking straight into her eyes.

"Please don't-" Ginger was slapped in the face before she could finish.

"It's too late for that bitch! Time to pay... With your-"

Whistle

They looked to see Todd. They pointed their weapons at him, ready to charge at.

"You know what, I was about to use my sword to fight fair. But after seeing what's going on here. " He said then brought out his All American rifle and his face went into a pissed off look.

" Fuck it." Then open fire at the warmbloods killing them all with headshots except for the one holding Ginger. Pieces of skulls, brain tissue, eyeballs, headless bodies, and blood now cover the river area they're standing on.

"Stay back or I'll kill her!" He said with a knife at Ginger's throat.

"Really? Guns can kill things faster, and you want me to believe that you can kill her with that before I can kill you with this?" Said Todd.

"I mean it, one step close-" He stopped when something jumped on his face, which caused him let go of Ginger.

"Ah! What in the name of-!" He yelled. The thing was ED-E, Biting on his face. When the guy finally got ED-E off and threw him outside of the river, he was hit in the face by Todd's gun and fell into the water.

Ginger was scared stiffed upon the carnage Todd made. Todd holstered his rifle and looked back with a worried look. "You ok?"

"Yes..." She replied in a scared tone. Todd blushes then turn quickly and goes to where ED-E landed at. Ginger looked down and covered herself with an embarrassed look, then went to a cleaner spot of the river which is close by to wash all the blood off.

Todd picks up ED-E then said, "You alright ED-E?"

ED-E turned his head to Todd, opens his eye's gentle, and smiles.

"See. I'm ready."

"Hehe, one of these day's you'll be hit on something hard. Just try not to do something crazy like that again." Said Todd.

While the two talked to each other the warmblood who got hit by Todd's gun got out of the water and tries to run away. But Todd saw him before he run, Put's ED-E on his shoulder, and started shooting which he missed.

"Shit! Come back here, You sick Bastard!" Todd said then started chasing him to the forest while ED-E was hanging on.

"You're not getting away!" He said while firing a couple rounds at the Warmblood.

The Warmblood started to laugh and was about to taunt Todd until something grabbed him. Todd stopped and went to where the guy was grabbed only to find him with his throat slit. Todd was shocked on the site along with ED-E who made a small eep noise.

"What. the. hell." Is all Todd could say, then he had a feeling that someone was behind him. He turned slowly around to see a warmblood girl wearing some sort of hat similar to Dust's with a ninja like mask covering her lower part of her face, Kimono like clothing with some armor and the skirt is short, long purple ponytail hair, and wielding a katana similar to his katana design.

"Shit!" He said pointing his rifle at her. The two didn't do anything but stare at each other.

"Who are you?!" ED-E yelled in a shocked tone.

"..."

"Listen, We were just trying to get this guy for threatening our friend. We don't want any trouble with you." Said Todd, then holstered his All-American rifle.

After a moment of silence, She nodded and put away her Katana.

"There no harm, no foul. Just friendly-"

Todd stopped when the girl grabbed his head and looked at it. She had a observant and then a surprise look letting go of Todd, stepped back slowly before running away. That moment left the two very confused on what just happened.

"What the hell was that about?"

"I have no idea..." ED-E replied.

"ED-E! Todd!" Ginger called out to the both of them, They look and saw her walking fast toward them all dressed.

"Why did you two-?"

"We were chasing down the guy who grabbed you , but he was killed by a strange lady who just left!" ED-E replied.

"Yeah, what ED-E said."

"Oh...Um, Todd." She said with a weird out face pointing at his body.

Todd looks down forgot he was just wearing his boxers.

"Shit!" He said giving ED-E to Ginger then runs back to get his clothes.

"What a strange man."

Finally got chapter 4 done! Sorry for the delay for the past months, there are somethings that got me distracted from completing this like life and stuff. So I don't know when I'm gonna be posting chapter 5, but It won't be very long or early.
