The Chosen Ones and the Epic of Hope!

Out from the already established CeRaUnion was created officially the new CeRaAlliance as a strange collection of fearful factions decided that they needed each other. Radgangers, radraiders, mercenaries, settlers, and others made wary agreements with the CeRaUnion Council through the new CeRaAlliance Council.

 

Supermutants, from TechVaul087DC, joined as three allied factions of the eight that existed in that great underground complex. They were not linked to the mutants serving one of the 13War13 Armies except that they were supermutants as were many of those that served the Mutantlord.

 

The SUDC became the NewRepublicDC thanks partly to those, from the old republic, who had survived its destruction without going into the Chosenzone. The old SUDC had not been tightly organised enough to deal with the new threats and also older problems that it had never really resolved. More settlements joined even as Quadtowertown became the capital of the NewRepublicDC. A sprinkling of settlements did not become part of the new nationstate but did become allied to it.

 

Led by the Omans avatars, the Reregulators sealed off the main exit-entrance of TechVault108DC where the Gary clones were coming from and then sought to do the same with all others except for one left open so they could ambush what ever came through it. That was how they soon came to the conclusion that there were too many exits for any such strategy to even begin to work.

 

It was then that the Jsisters avatars made a most amazing, and ironic, discovery about the location of the true MainVault101DC.

The true MainVault101DC was hidden inside the 'phase shadow' of the fake MainVault101DC. One of the missing displays, of three, was found to be both a phasegate, programmed to access there, and useful information to do with operating a phasegate.

 

The second display showed a rainbow-yellow-white cube of a lesser CeRaToy that was very powerful anyway. The CeRaBaby was very happy to reclaim it and promised much would come of it of a positive nature.

 

The third was a rather bizarre, but potent, Antimalignamass Weapon of deeply mysterious origin and tech. What was learned, there, was that it was created by a little known of faction known as the Cleansing Crusade. In the same source, of information, were hints of a vast war having taken place a vastly long time ago; the weapon had been one of those used to soundly defeat the Malignamass but failed to destroy it.

 

The Jsisters avatars travelled to the true MainVault101DC not knowing what they would encounter.

The JOmans avatars spoke with local radghoulins who kept giving them the same, strange, message in the same oddly vague fashion. The five Reregulators were with multiple others of their kind plus newly renamed ReAuxiliaries. They had been tracking down parties of mutated, former radhuman, cannibals known as radcannibals. Distorted, over muscular, with fangs and claws, they were dumber now but were enhanced of speed, endurance, strength, health regeneration and cunning. They did not like to eat radghouls, of any kind, but they did sometimes try to kill them anyway for the were aggressively insane just as radghoulers were.

 

They had expected to run into troubled radghoulins, of defensive aggression only, but the message had come as a complete surprise. Just how long had the message been spreading across the Wastelands perhaps from radghoulin to radghoulin? From where had it started and how?

 

JillOman spoke out even as he tended to the wounds of a radghoulin child. "We Chosen Ones are the true 13G13 or at least that is how it strikes me!"

 

JackOman nodded reassuringly to radghoulins that she was passing horrible emergency foodbars to that they loved to eat. "We attempted to deceive by pretending we were our own creations that are separate from our true selves; who-what were we try to deceive and why?"

 

JuneOman poured muttfruit juice into bioplastic, biodegradable, cups : "Perhaps the false 13G13 or some faction linked to them?"

 

JessOman passed out basic, useful, equipment and supplies to radghoulins. "Perhaps the Malignamass?"

 

JohnOman was doing the same as JessOman. "As always, it seems, we need more information."

 

The radghoulins would soon be going to the Chosenzone as led there by guides who would be arriving in a very few minutes time.

 

In the distance a Skyfaller army was on the march with its golden, silver, and copper soldiers and fighting workers. The enslaved conscripts were a mixture of mostly radhumans, radmans and radghoulmans. They wore metallic armour suits, helmets, boots and pouchbelts that was mostly copper as privates, less so silver as NCOs and golds were in even in smaller number as commissioned officers. Other gear was coloured grey be that guns, tools, backpacks and much else besides. They were supported by grey, tracked, robots and low flying robotic drones. They marched fairly quickly only as if being carefully paced.

 

There were marked ranks that the higher they were, the less numerous they were. Each, of the three main categories, had three sub-ranks of gold, silver and copper. So they went from gold-gold right down to copper-copper. There were only a handful of gold-golds while the copper-coppers were very numerous.

 

So far it was hard to know what the new Skyfaller military forces were up to.

The Gamerworld was there, in the sky, but not all the time. It showed up sometimes, in the day or night, at different amounts and sometimes concealed by clouds; it was of course the moon or Luna or Sol3a. Except that from other gameworlds it seemed different and was often just one of more than one moon, having other names granted to it.

 

The Gamerworld was an underworld and the moon surface was vacuous except for the domed craterlands and tube shaped tubeways that linked them. The craterlands, and tubeways, were cleverly concealed by cloaking fields and other means.

 

The new 13Gamer13, once the Gamergods, had come from extrapolations of the minds of the real 13G13 who had managed to escape to the first gameworld based largely on the Fallout Games. The same was true of the whole false 13G13 who were now splintering, growing, splintering again in numbers and in other ways.

 

The 13Enclaven13 controlled the Enclavens and their Enclaves with a large EagleEnclaven Army invading the GDC from the north. The 13War13 led their crazy armies invading into WashingtonDC from the south except that, secretly, Caesar was one of those warlords and his army was one of theirs; the same was true of the reavers, ravers, and others coming from the Atlantic to invade the GDC from the east.

 

Yes, it all seemed to fall into place even as it was changing and soon would only be part of the truth.

 

The 13Gamer13 reached out and made contact with the CeRaBaby and its celestial mentors. A pending agreement was finalized as the Reduxation Countdown began. Warnings blared through out Gamerworld, above and below! Skynet was contacted and halted its planned invasion, of the world below, before it could truly begin. The Deathstar failed to show up, along with its escort fleet of Imperial Destroyerships. The SFSS Enterprise shot past as it chased a pair of annoyed spacewhales. The Reduxation would not be the ending, but just a restart, of what had to happen! Hopefully enough had already been learned, gained, to make the restart a more positive experience for most if not for all.

 

There was always hope!

The start had been messy but now the cleansing was smoother if not altogether cleaner.

 

Matters rewound as lived history of a monolinear fashion.

 

Populations ended up in the Chosenzone or in one of three other, exotic, Safezones.

 

All Gamerworld forces were returned there!

 

The Five Domains ended up in a special area of the Chosenzone.

 

Why was all of this happening? To stop the new multiworld from destroying itself and taking the Gamerworld with it! Yet the story had to be played out as a fate path! While much would largely change, much would be largely the same while there would be some additions.

 

It was not going to be totally neat or easy or straight forward but much more so than before and that was more than enough.

They were now the 15CO15, as Chosen Ones, that had been the real 13G13.

 

Of the new 5JJ15 Jasmine1, Jessica1, Jillian1, Jocelyn1 and Juniper1 were always in the Chosenzone often as babysitters to various celestial babies and permababies that had popped up to be with them. There were, of course, plenty of others!

 

Jasmine2, Jessica2, Jillian2, Jocelyn2 and Juniper2 were in a simplified, but enlarged, TechVault101DC now linked to TechShelter101DC, TechCaves101DC and the TechNetwork101DC that linked all of those. There was, now, no FakeVault101DC but only the one MainVault101DC.

 

Jasmine3, Jessica3, Jillian3, Jocelyn3 and Juniper3 were with the CeRaBaby herself in the new, improved, CeRaCore.

 

Jasmine2 aimed her boltrifle, worked the bolt to breech a new cartridge, and fired. The target gained a new hole at dead center. Ammo, for real target practice, was limited so this was happening in a limited SVR zone where ammo was plentiful though, of course, not real.

 

LokeDJ fired off his shorter boltcarbine, using a shorter version of the slimlong cartridges as utilised by the bigger boltrifles. He was slightly off dead center but still close enough to kill one of the truly dangerous kinds of vermin; that is radroachers, radscalerats, radmolies, radspitspiders and such like. Typical radmoles, radrats, radroaches and such like were far easier to deal with especially by the JJ53 living in TechVault101DC01 but often visiting the rest of TechComplex101DC except for MainVault101DC that was forbidden to them as were the TechSemivaults101DC. They could go anywhere else including all other TechDemivaults101DC.

 

They were closest to where the one way Telegate101DC, teleport gate, allowed outsiders to enter the TechZone101DC that was more than just the TechComplex101DC; the one way teleportation was part of the Isolation Experiment 101DC, IE101DC, or so most believed or were at least quite sure of.

 

Jocelyn2 shot off her compound hunting shortbow and her arrow thunked dead center target. "Time to switch to more realistic targets."

 

Juniper2 spoke. "Another 11 arrived through Telegate101DC just a minute ago. All radhumans, of settler types, being mostly adults with some teenadults and children. Came with their own stuff plus some unexplained extras; so it was as usual. They will probably end up in the Caves101DC." Then she used a boltcarbine to shoot a deadly accurate shot. "They appear to have the right sort of skills, and experience, to live-work there successfully."

The Jsisters, there, knew vaguely of the changes that had taken place as they knew it was best to keep such matters vague so that their minds were not overwhelmed.

 

The scene shimmered and changed so now dangerous vermin were swarming towards them but only in small numbers. The size, numbers and threat level would all steadily increase. They all began to fire off their weapons shooting bullets, arrows and crossbolts, the last from three electric motorised crossbows or ecrossbows. They would swap over weapons, going to pistols, shotguns and even such as throwing knives when the foe got closer.

 

The training continued, every shot dead creature vanishing away but leaving behind, for a few seconds, a points score.

 

Shotguns blasted away as the false living targets got closer.

 

The team made a very good, if not excellent, score that session for some of their people were quite new to being trained as they were probationary Pestators101DC.
