Fallout 4 what a world

Chapter 3 revival of the forsaken

Welcome back so I just have a few things to say first I am sorry for the hiatus I took I was trying to finish fallout four for this story and ended up getting burned out then I came back and got it in my head to platinum in. but I am back now and ready to continue this story. Yes my character in this story has the sharingan but not the MS or EMS he might, MIGHT get it later but not for a while at least. Two this chapter will be more focused on rebuilding sanctuary and setting up for later chapters so it is filler although there is more character development.

Warnings: mentions of abuse and broken homes nothing to graphic, time skips to keep me from banging my head on the keyboard.

I don't own fallout only my oc's names in this story.

The group was making their way back to sanctuary when Alex's fusion core decided to run out.

"Damn it!" Alex growled out stopping. Everyone else stopped as well to see what he was doing. Alex hit the release button and hopped out of the power armor with an annoyed sigh. Shema walked up to him.

"What's wrong?" she asked him.

"The fusion core died on me and I don't have anymore." He said to her.

"I could just carry it for you." She said.

"Really? Thanks Shema you're a life saver." He said. She smiled softly at him and waved of his words.

"It's nothing really." She said. She grabbing the armor in a bridal carry and they continued on. Soon Preston walked up to him. Alex turned his head to Preston.

"What is it Preston?" he asked him even if he did not have the best first impression of the man he knew not to allow his feelings to get in the way and instead listened to his gut instincts.

"I just wanted to know your story and hers." he said. Alex gave a mirthless chuckle.

"Me? Well I was born in Boston. My dad was an abusive deadbeat junkie and my mom was a drunk. At eighteen I joined the army and fought in anchorage. After the war I settled down not for long mind you and then the war of seventy seven happened and I ran to the vault with my family there I was frozen for over two hundred years only to wake up once and see my wife get shot in the head and killed and our son get kidnapped. Finally I made it out only to see that happened sixty years ago. That's my story Preston." He finished his rant coldly. Preston and the rest of the people were staring at him in shock except for Shema who had already heard the story.

"y-your two hundred years old?! My god this must be so overwhelming for you I am so sorry I really did not mean to pry." Preston said. Alex just waved him off.

"No it's all right Preston and actually it's more like a hundred and ten but that's beside the point my only goal now is to create a new home for myself and to help rebuild a world worth living in." He said seriously. Preston stared at him in disbelief. However before he could say anything else Preston noticed they had arrived. Alex turned on his pip-boy and checked the time it was ten o'clock. He decided to take control of the rag tag group of people.

"So here is what I think we should do who here can cook." He asked only to see Codsworth come over.

"I will cook sir." Codsworth said giving Alex a salute. Alex nodded.

"Alright thanks Codsworth. Sturgis will take night watch with Mary. I and Shema will trade places with you two at five in the morning and after that we should all be up and about." Alex said. Everyone thought about it before nodding going about their business. Preston walked up to him.

"Wow I have not seen someone take control of a group of people that quickly before." Preston praised. Alex nodded in thanks before motioning Preston to fallow him.

"You wanted to talk to me about something what was it?" Alex asked Preston as the two walked. Preston nodded.

"Yes I wanted to talk to you about the minutemen and what we stand for or at least what we once stood for. The minutemen we originally created to help settlements at a moment's notice. However that all came crashing down one day. One of the settlements called for help from the minutemen and only a hand full of us showed up and it turned into a massacre. Almost every other minuteman was killed and the backstabbers that were once minutemen became the gunners. Hell I might be the last minuteman alive today." Preston said seriously. Alex thought about it for a moment before saying.

"I have a few questions first." Alex said receiving a nod he continued.

"First of all will I have to run around constantly and do everything by myself or are we actually rebuilding the minutemen into an army?" he asked. Preston looked at him in bewilderment before realization dawned on him and he shook his head.

"Well originally the minutemen just guarded towns there really wasn't any form of expansion." He said. Alex nodded before he asked.

"Well that was probably one of the problems of the minutemen you guys were one spread too thin and did not have any real territory other than the settlements which if I had to guess were just plantations?" Alex asked.

"That's true for the most part we just guarded the settlements but we did have a stable food supply." Preston defended. Alex nodded.

"While that might be true Preston you have to remember that if we want to retake the commonwealth we need to have as much space as we can get I won't lie to you things are looking grim and until we can gain some territory we can't develop an economy to buy things much less train new minutemen." Alex said. Preston grimaced at the realization that they had basically no money at all for anything.

"So than what should we do first?" Preston asked him Alex thought about it before saying.

"Right now we first need to focus on the here and now and not what's down the road." Alex said Preston nodded before saluting Alex. Alex and Preston went back and rejoined the group for dinner as people started to unwind a little before the work really began tomorrow.

Time skip next day

Alex Woke up and felt something comfortable on his side he looked over and snorted softly. Shema apparently decided to use him as a pillow last night. Alex gently shook her getting a whimper of displeasure making him chuckle softly. He gently leaned down next to her ear.

"Shema you need to wake up now." He said softly. Luckily it seemed to work and she woke up yawning before looking down at him. She froze before quickly standing up and rushing out of the room making Alex laugh his ass off at her reaction. After Alex got up he got his clothes on and headed out to join the others for breakfast. After breakfast he noticed Sturgis walking up to him.

"Alright boss everyone is ready what should we start with?" he asked. Alex raised his eyebrows.

"Boss?" Alex questioned Sturgis nodded his head.

"Ya as you're the one who set things up we all agreed that you should be the boss." Sturgis said.

"Alright then do you have a pen and a white board or something similar around here?" Alex asked him. Sturgis nodded and walked into the house with the power armor station and grabbed said items. Alex nodded in thanks before he turned and walked over to the table by the work bench. He quickly grabbed the pen and white board before he started writing.

1. Water pumps/purifiers

2. Food

3. Wall that surrounds sanctuary except for the bridge for entrance/ chock point.

4. Defense turrets

5. Recruitment beacon

Alex turned back to Sturgis and noticed that everyone else had gathered to see what they would be doing.

"I think that will be a good start for now." He said. Everyone quickly scanned the list and nodded their heads.

"Ya that will do for now boss." Sturgis agreed. Alex turned back to the others.

"Alright we have a few weeks' worth of food around here and if need be we can hunt for more as I noticed an abundance of wildlife coming into sanctuary so I think today we should focus on collecting anything we can use as building material to build water pumps." Alex said getting a nod everyone quickly headed out to start their new tasks.

One week later

It had been a week and things had gone well for the most part they had built the water pumps and now had almost quite a bit of clean drinking water however they knew they were going to need more later. They had also started a garden behind the house with the work bench luckily Alex managed to find some mutfruit behind one of the houses and thus had enough seeds to start a small farm. They had also started to build the wall around sanctuary and had about twenty five percent of it built up though they still needed to install turrets around the wall to keep people from knocking it down. Shema and Alex had had a few more humorous encounters over the days but no one else really noticed except for Sturgis because of how close he was working with the too Alex and Shema. All and all things were looking up for the rag tag group of people. However it did not come without its strife's as they had a few raider attack. However it took all of two seconds to destroy them thanks to Shema's speed and power and Alex's and Preston's training. But it highlighted another weakness they needed better weapons as they only had two laser musket (one for each Alex and Preston) one minigun that was useable but was so heavy you needed the power armor and a few pipe pistols which were more of a last ditch weapon and not that effective at range. Alex was quite happy with their progress though as they had managed much in such a short time and the fruits of their labors were showing both literally and metaphorically. Alex collected everyone outside of the work bench to organize them for the next day in their work.

"Alright everyone since we have food and water done today we will be working on the wall and building the turrets and if there's any time left after that then we will head up to the vault and retrieve the water purifier and any food left over and terminals." Alex said. Receiving nods Alex turned back to their impromptu planning board that they had built to design things.

"Mary you and Jun will work on the walls with Preston watching your backs. Sturgis and I will work on the turrets with Shema watching our backs and mama murphy… you just do whatever it is you do." Alex said. After everyone had broken into their groups Alex and Sturgis went and started the turrets. Sturgis turned to Alex.

"So what are we making boss?" Sturgis asked Alex who hummed for a moment before sweeping his eyes over all the components before answering.

"We have enough to make a few heavy machine gun turrets." Alex said.

"After that we just have to find out how many we need and where to put them." Alex said looking at Sturgis who nodded before he asked Alex.

"So what's the story with you and Shema are you two like together or something?" he asked Alex. Who shook his head no.

"No Sturgis we are just friends." Alex said. Truth be told he was somewhat conflicted by what he felt for Shema.

"Well if you ever do get together just remember to keep it quite wouldn't want to give the other deathclaws the idea that it was mating time." Sturgis said with a snicker until Alex wacked the back of his head. Once the two were done with their little conversation they got back to work and started putting together the turrets. Once they were done they realized it was dinner time already. Alex, Sturgis and Shema, who had been distracted when Sturgis asked his question earlier, walked to the campfire and sat down to enjoy a good hardy dinner. After eating Alex spoke up.

"So how's the wall today?" Alex asked Preston who looked up from his dinner.

"It's going good we should have it done in a day or two tops." Preston said happily to Alex who grinned.

"Good once we get that done Sturgis and I will install the turrets. Hopefully we will not have to deal with raiders soon and we can get back to rebuilding the minutemen." Alex said hopefully Preston smiled liking the idea of rebuilding the minutemen again.

Two days later

Finally they had done it the wall was built and they had installed the turrets although they had to go out and loot the old gas station for any supplies. Alex was sitting down to lunch with the group when Preston spoke up.

"So what are we doing now boss?" Alex thought about it before remembering something.

"Well now that we don't have to worry about raiders we can now start on the next phase of rebuilding the minutemen. Sturgis will build a recruitment beacon with Shema watching his back while Mary and Jun will continue to garden. Even if I think that this place is quite secure we should still be cautious. While that's going on you and me will head up to the vault and start to transfer all the food and junk we can." Alex said pointing up the hill.

"Why are we going up there again?" Preston asked.

"There are a lot of tools, food and I think I can build a large water purifier that we can use to start pumping water out of the pound next to us to sell as it can fetch a pretty penny." Alex said. Receiving a nod the groups headed out to complete there tasks. Alex led Preston back up to the place that had been his prison for so long. He walked into the control booth and hit the vault control button and walked back out and rejoined the Preston once they walked on the platform it started to lower its self-down.

"So what exactly are we looking for, general?" Preston asked him.

"We are looking for a room labeled supplies but I also think we can salvage up other things medicine. These vaults can be major resources dumps if you know where to look." Alex said. The two made their way into the vault killing any rad roaches Alex missed on his escape the two soon found the supply room and started to load their bags full of the food, tools and ammo, water bottles and medicine. Alex turned back to Preston and said.

"Alright now we just have to bring everything back to sanctuary and then we will come back later with a bigger group." He said. After receiving nod from Preston they soon left the vault and headed back down to sanctuary.

With Sturgis and Shema

Sturgis had just finished the radio beacon when he realized that it was far too heavy for him to lift. He turned and walked over to Shema who seemed to be distracted.

"You alright their Shema you seem a little out of it today." He said. Unlike the others in the group he was not as weary of Shema. He knew if she wanted to kill them she could have easily done so by now so he decided to just treat her like anyone else and hope for the best. Shema turned her head to Sturgis and gave a shack of her head.

"I am fine Sturgis just lost in thoughts is all." She said.

"Well do you think you can help me put up the recruitment beacon I can't lift it on my own." He asked her.

"Sure" she said happy to have something to do once the beacon was in place Sturgis sighed happily.

"Well that's one less thing we need to worry about though we still need power." He said cheerfully before finishing with a frown he turned back to Shema.

"Hey Shema can I ask you something?" He asked her.

"Well you already did but sure." She said with a chuckle. Sturgis tensed before relaxing praying that he would still have his head by the end of this conversation.

"I wanted to know about you and the boss most folks around here might have missed it on account of us having to stay focused on rebuilding Sanctuary but I could not help but notice you two seem to get in little situations from time to time." He said. Shema froze before turning her head and glaring at Sturgis who was now seating bullets.

"What makes you think that there is anything going on between us?" She said with a slight growl in her voice as she unknowingly flexed her claws making Sturgis quickly raise his hands in surrender.

"N-nothing! It's just at times it almost looks like you two are trying to send signals to each other. Look I don't know if I am wrong and I am sorry if I am but I think the general might like you." He said. Shema sighed before calming back down.

"All right Sturgis I understand what your trying to say it's just he just lost his wife a week ago well at least to him it was. I don't even know what he is thinking but maybe later I will talk to him and ask him about it." She said. Sturgis nodded before scratching the back of his head.

"Wow you took that talk better than the general did he smacked me over the head." He grumbled rubbing his still sore head causing Shema to giggle.

"Ya that sounds like Alex." She said causing them both to laugh.

Alex's and Preston

The two had just left the vault and were making their way down the hill back to town discussing what would happen next.

"Well that went rather well we should have everything back in sanctuary within a day at this rate." Alex said pleasantly.

"So what are we going to do after we get everything back home and set up?" Preston asked. Alex answered without looking back.

"I have a plan for sanctuary in the army we used things called FOB's or forward operating bases. Now I plan on turning sanctuary into a training ground/command center for the northern region. After we get it set up we will start to train the new minutemen army. I think we should call the new army dark phoenix as it represents the minutemen rising from the ashes. Also I will be assigning a commander to monitor the troops and ship them out to trouble spots but that is still an aways off. Once we have enough soldiers we will retake Concord and have that as our hub of trade as sanctuary will solely be a military base. I know it is a small thing but we need to start somewhere." He said.

"Are you sure you want to retake Concord? Last I heard a new band of raiders had moved in and was setting up shop. In fact I think it was them that have been attacking us lately." Preston said.

"All the more reason to retake it Preston we need to make some kind of buffer if we want to be able to regrow the minutemen without constant attacks by raiders even if we now have a wall and taking away a nearby place for the raiders to rest their heads will help." Alex explained. The group lapsed into silence now as they entered sanctuary to find Sturgis and Shema talking. Alex noticed the beacon was up and turned to Sturgis with a grin.

"So you finally managed to get that damn thing up huh?" Alex asked him.

"Ya thing was too heavy to lift myself thankfully Shema was able to lift it up." He said. Alex nodded before turning his pip boy on.

"Alright it's about noon now so we will probably be able to make one or two more trips before we will call it a day." Alex said.

Later that night

Alex was sitting alone looking at the moon. As a child he always watched it as it was the only constant in his life that he knew would always be there. Alex was drawn out of his thoughts when he heard someone sat down next to him. He did not even have to turn his head to know who it was.

"Hello Shema was there something you needed?" he asked. When he did not get in answer he turned his head to see her looking at the moon. After a minute of silence she spoke.

"I was just wondering what you are thinking about. I mean this is your first week in this new and quite frankly scary world." She said. Alex thought about it for a moment before answering.

"To be honest it's not nearly as bad as you make it out to be." He said honestly Shema snorted making him chuckle. "No I am serious when I was younger I watched people die because they could not get a job. Everything back then revolved around money and if you did not have any you were treated like an outcast. Here people make their own food they actually have a chance to make something great for them self's instead of being bound by others who say they will not achieve anything. The old world should be a reminder of what happens when people give into temptation." He said. Shema just could not imagen it.

"Was it really that bad? I mean you had cars, fresh water that came out of the tap. It almost sounds too easy." She said thoughtfully.

"It looked that way on the surface but look around you Shema what do you see? Because I see craters those were not caused after everything went to shit. They happened because we as a species became lazy, stagnant really. Our story should have ended their but humanity is like a rad roach no matter what situation presents its self we rise again and again. I don't know if I can make a world worth living in but I will damn well try to make sure if I do it will not repeat the mistakes of the past." Alex said to her making her smile before she nudged him.

"You certainly like speeches don't you." She said with a laugh while he pouted.

"A little yes old habits die hard I guess." Alex said before he stood up and the two headed back to the group.

One week later

Things were now progressing well for the group they had managed to transfer all of the supplies from the vault including the water purifier. They now had a decent stock of food and water now. Their main problem had been power as they did not really have anything that could make power until Sturgis suggested they build a small dam that would take water from the pond that drained into the small grotto beneath the bridge and generate power. Thankfully it worked and they now had enough power to operate the beacon as well as set up enough lights to light up the whole area around sanctuary. Alex looked around at the new recruits awaiting their first military drill.

"Ten-hut" Alex barked immediately the group of initiates stood at attention.

"Today marks the age of a new chapter in the history of the commonwealth, today we begin to rebuild what was lost all those years ago. Today we stand on the brink of a revolution that will change this world. It starts with each of you standing before me today." Alex said walking the line of the initiates before he continued. "Each and every one of you will be expected to lay your lives on the line to defend the citizens of the commonwealth. Make no mistake of grandeur for the road ahead of you will be long and hard. Now I turn you over to your training officer commander Preston who will oversee your training. Good luck and god speed." Alex said before nodding to Preston and walking off to rejoin the others around the war house as most settlers and soldiers called it now.

"So what's on the agenda for today boss?" Sturgis asked. Alex smirked before saying.

"A new world."

AN: and that concludes chapter 3 hope you guys enjoy this.
