*Freeside*

"We have arrived in Freeside, This place is home of Vagrants, Garret Twins, Mick and Ralph, Van Graff's, Followers and of course... The Kings. Freeside is the only place for people who didn't have enough caps to get into the Strip, they have to go to Atomic Wrangler, It's of course has anything you need.

Booze, Comedy, Blackjack, Slot Machines... Sex, And the place is owned by the Garret twins who use work in the Strip before House removed them in unknown reasons. They gotten the old casino place in Freeside and somehow fixed the slot machines and Blackjack tables, Soon enough many of their customers all around Freeside comes right to them to play their games or have sex.

Then you have the Van Graff's... One piece of a warning though, Never mess with the Van Graff family. They don't have that "Innocent" vibes in your guts so don't joined up with them because of their black armor with high-tech weapons, Unless if your really are some hotshot or killer, then these people will open you will open arms. One of their members stole caps from the Van Graff's leader Gloria, Who was in a relationship with that same member. He killed by her brother Jean-Baptiste Cutting, for cheating on his sister. Now one, not even lover can steal from the Van Graff's

Then you have Mick and Ralphs, Local vendors in the East Side of Freeside. Mick sells guns and armor for any people looking for some armed stuff, And like he says. "Like I always say, A polite society is an armed society" Now we have Ralph, He's a junk vendor pretty much. But he also has a side-deals with people he can trust or get in goods with the Kings, He perfect his craft on Passports to fool anyone even those highly skilled on detection. He'll sell it to you for 300 caps "Hey? it's a pretty good deal kid, And your missing out on the fun"

The Followers of the Apocalypse is a group of people who rose from the Boneyard, They help people in need even if it's a enemy, Their goal is to not let civilization to reduce to ash a second time but that could also be their downfall. See, The Followers help people right? Even if their enemies hurt or attack them they still help. They are neutral and want's no part in the NCR or Legion's war and only help those in Freeside from the Legion's Invasion when the time is right.

And last we have the Kings, The Kings were part of the original tribes before they united brought to power by Mr. House himself. They took up residence in the old Elvis impersonation school, They believed it to be a place of worship due to the posters and Holodisks all of one man, whose real name couldn't be found. But was named only as "The King" but that person before the war real name is "Elvis Presley" he fought in the war in Vietnam and survived and continue his lived of "Style" in Las Vegas, that was the name before "New Vegas" took the spot" Storyteller was telling them stories about Freeside

"Hey Storyteller, not want to ask you to stop. But can you keep your stories to yourself for the time being, I don't think any of our friends even listening anymore" Six calls out since most of them didn't even listen to him

"Oh? well... okay then" Storyteller mumbles

"So, This is the home of The Kings huh?" Jaune looked at the one building in front of him, Most of the members were dress in some old flashy looks. Their hair is comb upwards, and their outfits looks to be from the 80's "Jailhouse Rocker" They were talking about some stuff, and one of them wanted Fancy Lad Snack Cake right now

"Let's head in and meet the King, If any of their members is in this building then we'll find the King as well" Six opens the door for everyone before heading in himself

*Old Elvis Impersonation School*

When they first step into the building they heard a music, It sounds like it's coming from the place itself

(Elvis Presley - Jailhouse Rock)

The Warden threw a party in the country jail,

The prison band was there and they began to wail.

The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing.

You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing

"Let's rock~ everybody, let's rock.

Everybody in the whole cell block, was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone,

Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone.

The Drummer boy from lllinois went crash, boom, bang

the whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang.

Let's Rock~ everybody, let's rock.

Everybody in the whole cell block was dancin'

to the Jailhouse Rock~

The music continue to play and most of the group likes it, It's really catchy and unique on it's own. Before they were stopped by a man who also comb his hair wearing an open up black school jacket with some number on his left

"Look what the cat drag in, If you all want to see the Kings then you have to pay the fee." Pacer told them he wanted caps from them

(Speech 30)"We're new to Freeside, and we wanted to pay the King our respect on founding this wonderful Freeside he created" Six used his charm on Pacer to let them threw

(SUCCEES!) "You know what, I like you. To many squatters around bitchin' to pay our lovely King with respect these days, Word of a warning though. the Kings isn't a group you want to mess with. If any of you dare to attack any of our brothers here then you'll be seeing me with my ding-dong here... got it" Pace shows them his trusty 10mm SMG on his waist ready to be used

They nodded their heads understanding him, "Good, Alright I'll open up the door for you. Perhaps the King will be in a good mood or maybe not" Pacer opens the door for them into what looks like an old studio hall where chairs and tables full of Beers and Sex a bit

They then spotted what look like a Cybernetic Dog, But he looked better days since his brain cells is failing. He bark at the newcomers and the King turned around and saw some sort of group wanting to meet him

"Look Rexy, New people come to see us boy" He patted his dog with care before turning back to the group, "Poor boy, he hasn't been feeling too god since I found him somewhere of the road. Now, what do you all want with me?" The King said to them

"We're looking to get into the Strip, We were wondering if you could help us with that" Ren tells him

"Maybe so, Maybe so. But in order for me to get you all into the Strip, You have to do something for me first. Call it a favor for favor since I can't trust strangers coming to my home after all." The King said to them and they nodded

"If you all willing to work with me then I need something done, There's been some new locals dress better then all squatters around here. I want you all to find out why they are here or who they are working for, Before you all head out talk with Julie Farkas at the Old Norman Fort. She'll be able to help out if you need more information" The King has given them a job, If they do this then he'll get them into the strip

"Okay, so we got our first assignment. Let's split up and meet back here in the streets, I'll take Jaune, Ren and Weiss with me on East side. While Blake, Pyrrha and Nora go the West side. Storyteller and ED-NA will head to North side, Let's do this people then we can head to the Strip" Six took command to them and they nodded, Not thinking a plan... except Weiss of course but she hold it in for now

*Team BPNV*

So Blake scouted on the West side of Freeside and spotted two locals talking to themselves with makeshift campfire in the middle, They are better dress then most citizens in Freeside who wore rags and stuff. She told her two teammates to follower her and make sure Nora don't engage them with her hammer causes her to pout at her temporally leader

"Excuse me, Are you guys from around here?" Blake ask them, She was getting some weird vibes from these guys

"No madam, We just gotten here from ou-" One of them with a baseball hat with goggles on top was hit in the head by his friend, "Excuse him, He's doesn't know what he's talking about. But I also got a question on my own, Are you guys from around here?" 2nd guy ask them sizing them up if they were locals around here

"Shit! If they catch that if we aren't locals around here, Then our C.O is going to start questing us?!" 1st guy going threw his head on thoughts

"He's stuttering, It looks like they are hiding something from us. But I'll act stupid for now" Blake thought to herself since the 1st guy is rough around the edges a little on getting his cover blown

"No, We and the rest of our friends just gotten here ourselves. We know nothing about Freeside until today" Pyrrha caught on to the conversation quickly since it looks like Blake needed help on this

2nd guy looked at them again... "Okay, If you are new around here then I guess it's okay if I give this information free for you all. If you all looking for a meal but can't find it then head to the South side of Freeside behind the Atomic Wrangler and there's a door there with two guards, tell them the password "Hope" then your in" 2nd guy told them about some food and Blake and the rest left to get back to the others about the information

*Team JWR plus Six (Bonjour)*

Six and his team head to East side of Freeside to get information about these new locals taking up residence in Freeside without the Kings consent, But Six got a better ideal and brought his team to Mick and Ralph for information and stuff

"How's it hanging guys, If your looking for guns talk to Mick." Ralph greeted them again, They are Mick and his favorite customers after all

"We need information from you and Mick, Ralph. What's been going on around these new "Locals" here" Weiss already started questing to Ralph

"Those locals? Yeah me and Mick know about them, Usually you would have to pay me caps on the information... But I'll give answer these for free. Those Locals are from the NCR and I have no idea why they are here, Of course you can't tell it's them since they aren't their standard green uniforms. But you have to judge them hard and realized they have training and deadly skilled to be squatters, I have to take some test on some history and go myself lucky. It's basically NCR test and I gotten myself a password to their residence, More of them is holding up and I thought I was going to get jumped. But when I go in there they were selling food to the squatters and there was this one women who is ordering her men to bring food to the squatters" Ralph tells them his experience on the whole thing

"One last thing, If you all go to this place their password is "Hope" hope that helps you guys out" He said to them

They left the store and gotten the information they needed, These "Locals" were from the NCR and perhaps they are soldiers in disguise, They are selling food to the squatters for some reason and gotten the password to let them in. Weiss smirk and wondering if this is too easy but Six told her to not get overrated just because Ralph given them free information

*Storyteller and ED-NA*

"So when Tandi age finally come up to her ended her life, The NCR lost it's most favorable idol and the NCR have to appointed new President from soldiers who loved and kill for them. Now we have Kimball the President and so far... he's not doing so well" Storyteller tells his stories to a few NCR soldiers who was staring at him with weird looks, They ask on about their president and he goes as far telling Them a story about Tandi and former presidents before Kimball himself

"You awfully know a lot of the NCR more than ourselves, Are you some sort of historian or something. Since you also revealed a lot of secret information of the NCR history who wanted them to stay quiet" 1st guy ask him since he didn't know this guy in Power Armor with an Eyebot knows about the NCR history

"Well, in the back when time. History is important and it still is since it helps us discover what remained and knowledge of the old world before it reduce to this, Like those Gragnak comic books or how Caesar turned out like he is today for those books" Storyteller said to them

"True... If Caesar hasn't discover that book like what it is today, Then the NCR wouldn't be fighting them right now. We lost a lot of good folks during the 1st battle of Hoover Dam... including my older brothers, But enough talking about them. The password to our location is "Hope" just go tell the guards to let you in with that... now I need to be alone for a moment to reflect things in the past" 2nd guy moves over to a corner and his friend came up to him and patted his back and telling him that everything is okay

With that knowledge, Storyteller and ED-NA headed back to their friends at the streets and tell them what he gotten from the NCR soldiers.

"Did you record everything I said to them, ED-NA?" He ask his Eyebot friend

"Beep, Beep" (Yup! Just like you ask Storyteller) ED-NA responded with happy expression

"Good, hopefully the others will have better luck then we did. Although come to think of it... have you ever wonder if there are any other universes out there? Like any other realities of Team RWBY or JNPR traveling with the Courier right about now?"

*Meanwhile in another story dimension*

"Achoo!" Ruby sneeze from her nose, standing in front of her was Six, Who told her that he isn't a Legion spy and faked his amnesia existence

"You okay there Rubes? Have all the dust in the Divide gotten into your nose or something?" Six ask her

"No, It sounds like someone was talking about me" Ruby didn't know who is talking about her behind her back, Hopefully it's Weiss who will tell her that she will say sorry to Six on being a Legion Spy

"Huh? Kinda think about it, I sometime gotten a feeling that were being played at. Like we're just pawns for some sort creator for his amusement" Six getting a feeling he's being watch in some sort of 4th wall and someone behind it is making doing this and that for no reason at all

*With Wombag1786*

"Achoo!" Wombag sneeze himself while getting his flu shot, He's was feeling under the weather since he gotten sick and recently gotten his flu shot then came home to rest up. He then feel a little better before going back to his pet project on "A Rose over a shallow grave" and was half way done before sneezing to himself

"Huh? It feels that someone is talking about me, Perhaps it was either FEV Grim or maybe Gadget concerning my health. Well, I'll tell them that I'm okay when I finish ch53 chapter first and write down author notes for my fans about my flu shots, Better to keep writing for now before releasing it and come up with new songs and ideas for Six and Ruby in the Divide" Wombag went back to his laptop (Or computer) to continue his writing before releasing ch53 chapter for A Rose over a shallow grave about Six telling Ruby the reason why he lied about his amnesia

*Back with Storyteller and ED-NA*

"...maybe I'm just confuse, But alas let's head back to them shall we" He took lead with ED-NA following him, He'll explain the best of his abilities to the mighty Courier and his friends on the information he uncovered from the NCR

*Six and Company*

So they regroup back in the same street before they left, They all explains the details of their mission and how groups of NCR soldiers is selling food to locals. Storyteller told them about the NCR beating up people who wasn't a local or favorable of the NCR which leads mix thoughts about the NCR's methods, It turns out they all gotten the same password "Hope" and it's free for them to use it for some food from the NCR

Six then told them to head over to Julie Farkas for extra information about these NCR, Maybe she knows more about them then they are

It was easy enough, Six told Julie about the soldier boys and she responded she has recently gotten goods with one of the NCR and it was a women. Her name is Major Elizabeth Kieran, If she's to reluctant to give them information then tell them that they are a friend of Julie and she'll believe them

It also turns out that Major Kieran sent an envoy to discuss distributing supplies to the King, But came back beaten to death by the King's members. Then she only gives out to squatters instead the people of Freeside since the King is looking for war instead of discussing about supplies to them

"So what's going on? Found anything related to these "Locals" in Freeside?" King said to them

"The NCR sent off-duty troopers to Freeside to hand out food supplies to the squatters, And they only serving them and not the rest of your friends" Six told him about every detail he could think off saying

"So bunch of soldier boys is handing out food to the squatters, That explains why they turned away most of my friends away." King shakes his head in disgust on the thoughts of the NCR handed out supplies to squatters instead the people of Freeside

"They also sent an envoy to discuss supplies deals for you" Blake responded

"Wait a minute, you said what?" King was surprise, since he didn't even hear about this deal at all

"The envoy unit that major Kieran, sent was beaten to death by some of your members" Weiss puts her arms to her chests while saying that, She couldn't believed that some of these immature boys attack a simple envoy about the supplies

"Huh? it looks like we gotten some misunderstanding going o- What the hell?!" King's studio door was busted open by one of his member, He sprint towards to his boss before going in front of him

"King, We got a problem! Some soldier boys is hold up at the left side of town and Pacer is hiding ducks from the bullets" He said to his boss

"What is that fool doing?! I need you all to head over there and defuse this situation, Tell them that I'll cooperate on their demands" King said to the group before they head towards the trainyard

*Trainyard*

They see a dead King member and Pacer is hiding out like a pussy underneath an old bus stop, The groups then head towards the NCR soldiers and they told them to not draw a weapon or they'll shoot on site

"What are you all doing here, This isn't a good time" Major Kieran didn't have to deal with them

"The King wants to deal with the supplies with you" Six explains it to her

"Like how he did with our envoy, No thanks. If he wants war then we'll give him war" She doesn't like it when her men comes back beaten to death, She cares about them more than any of her C.O's

"That's not him! He didn't even know about the envoy that was sent to him by you in the first place" Velvet finally speaks since she was quiet during the whole thing

"Then he should watch his back, Our envoy was almost dead because of his gang. But if the King still wish to deal with us then maybe we can work something out" They are lucky she's a forgiving person, otherwise she'll head over to the King's court and busted them down with her gun before the ammo ran dry

They head back to the King about the situation and he was impress by them, "You done a huge favor for me, Tell you what. When you all first came to me about heading to the Strip but you have to do something for me first, We'll a favor for a favor. Tell my boy Ralph about you all being friends with me and he'll give you all passports into the Strip, To this day all of you all Kings... even Queens if you count your 4 of your lovely's there" King rewarded them with Kings outfits and 200 caps for getting the job done

"Let's go get Ruby, Yang and Coco before heading to Mick and Ralph's. Then we'll head to the Strip" Six said and once again they agree

"I have to say this journey with them is quite surprising so far, We just gotten goods with the Kings and whenever we are in Freeside. They'll protect us against dangerous types, But the fight between the NCR and Kings has stop for now... It won't be long until the Legion arise from that Dam head over here and will kill the Kings before heading the main location itself... New Vegas

Hope the glow to those people, Most of them are NCR citizens who came from California to waste their caps for fun. They don't know how to fight and will be easy pickings for the Legion, But the three families is to watch out for. White Glove Society, The Tops and Gomorrah is a big deal

But that's... a story for another day" Storyteller wrote down notes on his computer wrist before following his new friends to the Strip itself, It's time to head inside of Mr. House's turf and experience fun of the old world... or chaos around the rivers of Colorado
