Lonesome Roads

"A graveyard.""Stop it Aiden"Beatrice said angrily.

Suddenly a voice rose up out of the darkness "Stay still. Hands up."

"The hell.."everyone stopped.

A man dressed in combat fatigues and holding a machine gun walked out of the darkness saying "Alright you heard me hands where I can see them. Who are you people and how did you get here?"

Thw kids hid behind Martin .

Martin raised his hands as instructed "We come in peace. We're travellers." The man walked closer still holding the gun high toward them. "In the capital wasteland? You gotta be crazier than us."
"Us?"
"Alright just keep the hands high and walk that way. Zeds gonna wanna meet you guys." he said waving the gun toward one of the tunnels.

"Who is that?"Aiden asked Ethan who just shook his head.

They kept walking at gun point until they reached a large open area of the sewer. Like in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. There were a number of people around working on a different tasks. The man who had brought them in yelled out "Zed! We got visitors!"

PLEASE LET IT BE A RAT!!

Beatrice,Aiden and Ethan lookd around.The place was big and a lot cleaner than the others.

From a balcony like structure above a man (Sorry no rat) with a long grey beard and an eyepatch emerged and called back down "Send them up Howard." The other man nodded and began ushering the group to a stairway.

I"m pretty sure I heard those names before,where did you steal them?Not even four mutant ninja turtles?..

They all folowd Howard up the stairs.It was dark and it were those types of stairs the swirly one they are horrible stairs.

Beats me. They were just names in my head, don't recall anywhere specific they came from.

As they walked into the room at the top of the stairs a dog sized rat began to squeal at them. The man named Zed spoke out "Down Splint." and the rat complies. He reached out his hand to Martin and the others and said "Names Zed Harlow. Welcome to Underworld."

YOU BECAME ORIGINAL?!

Aiden lookd at the rat and said "Agresive much?"

"Ha ha, don't mind Splint there. He's just doing his job. You may not know it, but by luck you've just wandered into the safest little haven in the Capital Wasteland." Zed said bending down and patting the rat on the head. From the back of the room a voice said "Of course, out here safe is only a relative term isn't it?" a woman with short blonde hair and glasses walked out. Zed said "Ah everyone this is my wife Elena. Please introduce yourself, I know I can talk half a mile down the highway at times."

"I think I've seen her before.."Aiden said."I don't remeber seeing her"Ethan said "Me neither."Aiden kept staring blond hair,biggest cheast so far...

"It's not polite to stare little boy." Elena said with a wink. Martin stepped forward and said "My name is Martin Randalls, the boys are Ethan and Aiden, that girls Beatrice and this is Trucy." he said pointing to Trucy who had fainted on his back when Howard had held them up.

"Don't teach me what's polite and what's not."Aiden said angrily.Ethan sighd."I'm sorry for my brother."Beatrice said sadly.

"It's quite alright." Elena giggled and turned away, her large unrealistically proportioned chest swaying as she did.

"I know I saw here somwhere..."Aiden though."Well,ummm..."Beatrice is shy to ask what are they going to do now.

Martin was staring off the balconey down onto the people below. "I didn't think there was any kind of society here in the Capital Wasteland at all." he muttered. Zed heard this and said "Yep we're the last surviving remnants of society here. Well except maybe the Super Mutant Fort."

"S-super mutants?"Ethan sounded scared.

"You heard about them bastards?" Zed said sparking up a cigarette. He offered one to Martin but he declined. Zed continued "A sub-race of mutants who have somehow managed to keep their intelligence and see themselves as the true inheritors of the earth."

"Why would they be so cruel?"Beatrice asked.

Elena was in the corner flicking through a book and said "They kept their minds, but lost their humanity." Zed nodded and said "They kill any humans they find. Strangely enough regular mutants see them as some kind of god and damn near worship the things, they're completely under their control."

"HOW HORRIBLE!"Beatrice said covering her mouth.
