ENDING 2.

From Chapter 22:

The computer screen changed, Yes Man had taken over the computer temporarily.

"Hi! Wow this is great, isn't it?" he beamed.

"Yeah, just peachy, day at the beach." Ella said snidely, knowing that Sarcasm wouldn't really rile the computer.

"Ok, so now, you can activate the Securitrons where they'll cause all kinds of chaos at the Fort, and then make their way over here when they've finished to help you mop up, or you can deactivate the plants power output." Yes Man offered his options to her.

"Activate the Securitrons." Ella said without hesitation.

"Ok, activating them now, boy I sure would love to see Caesar's face when he sees all those securitrons flooding out and killing his men ha-ha!" Yes Man's stupid grin beamed.

"You and me both buddy." Ella said grimly.

"There's one override switch that you need to activate so the process is complete." Yes Man advised her. "I'll mark the location on your Pip-Boy."

"Thanks," Ella said, "See you at the end of this, I hope." She turned to Boone, "Ready to get back out there?" she asked.

"As long as I can take out some Legionaries." He replied.

"As many as your heart desires." Ella promised.

"There's really only two that I want to kill myself, but I think you got dibs first."

"That's right." Ella said, remembering, "Yes-Man, can you send an order to the securitrons at the fort?" she asked.

Once her order had been placed and sent successfully, Ella and Boone ran out of the control room and headed towards the Eastern power plant's override switch, firing on any red clad soldiers they passed. Ella's SMGs ran out of ammo, and she switched to her Anti Materiel rifle, it was a bit more unwieldy in the closer quarters, but it would have to do.

They found the override switch on a service balcony overlooking one of the eastern power plants. Ella pushed hard on the switch; the power plant began to hum through the turbines as the water flowed through them.

Ella turned and headed to the nearby elevator. She and Boone exited into the bright sunshine just as the Boomers flew by in their bomber, dropping ordinance upon the tide of crimson soldiers as they tried to cross the dam. Boone took hold of Ella's shoulder and pointed to the Fort, fires blazed as the Securitron forces attacked Caesar's men.

"We'll have an accounting soon Caesar, you too Vulpes." Ella promised the leader of the Legion.

They pushed through the Legion forces, taking out as many as they could. They were joined by the Remnants of the Enclave, Arcade was standing beside them in his father's Power Armour.

"Fancy seeing you here!" he smiled.

Ella grinned back at him, "Make sure you don't stick around for the NCR after party, they'll arrest you for that getup as quick as if you were wearing a legion suit, get your ass back to the 38 when we finish here." Ella turned back to the fight

"Does that go for me too? I still haven't gotten my Brahmin burger or my shake, your room service really sucks by the way." Veronica said coming up beside Arcade, for anyone who knew the history between the Enclave and the Brotherhood of Steel, they would have thought it strange that these two enemies now stood side by side in their power armour, fighting for the same cause.

"I'll be sure to take that up with the butler when we get back, and yes, that goes for you too, unless you're heading back to your people, just don't hang around!" she had to shout as Daisy Whitman flew the Enclave's Vertibird away from the Dam, firing its on-board weapons at some of the enemy as she went. The rest of the Remnants came up behind Arcade, while the Brotherhood formed up behind Veronica.

They pushed the Legion back and off the dam, finally arriving at the Legate's camp. They entered and fought furiously, losing many of their NCR soldiers and a few of their Brotherhood allies.

Legate Lanius stood proud, watching the men sacrifice themselves for Caesar, he saw the one person that Caesar had sought all these weeks since she had escaped.

The Courier.

Lanius executed two captured NCR soldiers, and moved down the rough earth-hewn steps to meet the worthy adversary, one he had underestimated, they had all underestimated her, and now he had lost the Dam. Caesar, if he survived the attacks that were being reported at the Fort, would not be pleased.

"Surrender, Lanius! It's over!" Ella shouted. The armour and mask clad Legionary, more feared than even Caesar by his own men stood stoically upon the path.

"You dare to ask me to surrender? The Legion will wash over the Dam, over the NCR dogs behind you, Vegas and the West. We will pave our roads with your dead, our crops will be watered with your blood. I will lead the armies of the East through the NCR for the glory of Caesar." the giant rumbled.

"You know that would mean the loss of the East. The size of the NCR is it's weakness." Ella observed.

"You try to convince me by offering me knowledge of your weaknesses? You are a Fool, we will win." Lanius countered.

"You may yet, but it will come at great cost, would you lose the East just to gain the West? How long will it take you to regain your strength after this day? How many more tribes will you need to obliterate and merge into the Legion to regroup and recover?" Ella paused for him to think. "You will spread yourselves so thin that you will lose much of what you have gained in the past years."

"There is wisdom in your words. I should have insisted Caesar hand you over to me during our capture, perhaps then you wouldn't be here today, Caesar's vanity and desire for you were part of his downfall."

"I suffered much at his hands, and those of Vulpes." Ella revealed, "I will have an accounting with both, if they lived through the assault of my army."

"Your vengeance may wait, Vulpes, ever the clever fox has vanished from the camp before the 'army' of Robots attacked. As to Caesar's fate, if he is dead, I will be the new Caesar, and I will return East and regain my strength and return to claim what is rightfully the Legion's to claim, perhaps you as well."

"Don't count on it. I do not intend to be a Slave to Caesar, or any man for that matter. I am a free woman, I'm also free to kill you if I need to." She threatened.

She could not tell if the threat was successful, as his face was masked

"Hnh." Lanius humphed, "I will return to take the Dam, Vegas and the Mojave, and much else besides…" he paused, letting his own threat sink in, was there no man in the Mojave or the Legion that didn't want to bed her? "On that day, I will purchase that victory honestly, with blood."

"I'll be waiting, as will my army." Ella said as she let the infamous Legate go.

Boone came up beside her, "Why the hell did you let him go?" he asked her surprised.

"I could have killed him, yes, but I showed him that there is such a thing as mercy. Something his men might not show him when he returns as a failed commander. The legion will destroy itself with infighting, unless someone stronger than Lanius reveals himself, especially with Caesar out of the picture." She sighed. "I hope to hell it's not Vulpes."

She shouldered her weapon and turned back to the gates to the Legate's camp. General Lee Oliver was waiting for them.

"That was one hell of a fight there!" he laughed, I've never seen the legion piss their pants and run so fucking fast, I need a hundred of you, spread across the East." He smiled.

"That's great, General, but I don't think you're going to like what happens next." Ella said smoothly, noticing that Yes Man had transferred himself into a Securition and was waiting patiently with a large number of his compatriots.

General Oliver turned around. "Oh, uh, Hi there, smiley." He said, rather uncomfortably.

"General, I'm here to declare for New Vegas, It is, as of now, a free and independent state. The NCR has no claim over New Vegas of the Mojave, I am happy to negotiate terms with you for your withdrawal from New Vegas Territory, and you can certainly maintain your embassy here, we really don't mind, we do like to remain on good terms with our neighbours." She said sweetly.

"You fucking bitch, we have fought too long and too hard to back away now, how dare you push us away, you're not just shitting on me, you're shitting on the Bear. You're deluded if you think that we're going to lay down and take this." General Oliver snarled.

"General, I kinda outnumber you right now, I can order the Securitrons to remove you peacefully, or they can eradicate your forces quite easily, but considering the man I love used to be part of the NCR, and still has a heart in your cause, I'm inclined to allow you to leave peacefully." Ella said, staring down the General.

"Alright, you win, but we'll be back!"

"Yeah, and that day I'll be sorry, what you're going to make me your slave as well? Been there, done that, got no intentions of going back down that road at all." Ella snapped, "Get going or I'll ask 'Smiley' here to toss your sorry ass off the dam."

The General indicated for his troopers and rangers to leave,"We'll be back." He snarled again.

"Don't let the gate hit your ass on the way out!" Ella called cheerily. She watched as the NCR soldiers trooped out and off the Dam, escorted by Ella's Securitron army. Yes Man wheeled up to her,

"Everything is ready at the Fort, I have an escort of Securitrons waiting for you, This is going to be fun!" he beamed.

"We'll see." Ella said, a little shakily, Boone came up beside her,

"You're sure about this?" he asked her, gently placing a hand on her shoulder.

She nodded silently. "Yeah, I have to do this."

They walked up to the Fort, dead and dying Legionaries littering their path. Several piles of ash were spreading amongst the winds of the Mojave, and fires burned around them. Slaves cowered behind rubble, not understanding or realising that they were free yet. For some, freedom would be a strange and new thing, for others it would be a distant memory. The approached the group of tents that rose ominously above the Arena.

Ella took a deep breath and held a looted pistol in her hand, she went on guard immediately as she went through the door of the tent. four securitrons surrounded Caesar as he said upon his throne, the bodies of the Praetorian guard surrounding him.

"Come to get your revenge you ungrateful bitch?" the once 'great' Caesar snarled.

"Yeah, something like that." Ella said softly, she still feared him, and coming face to face with one of her tormentors was starting the shake her. Boone came up beside her and placed an arm on her shoulder.

"Oh, so you've found someone else to fuck, a pissant little NCR fucker." Caesar smirked. "Tell me, Soldier, does she scream when you fuck her? rake her nails down your back, or moan when you first slip it in?" he smirked, "You should know, that she loved it when I had her, every time she would beg me for more."

Ella took a deep breath and raised the pistol. She knew he was goading her. it shook in her hand

"You know," Caesar continued, "I was more than willing to let you live, Ella, you and I we could have had Vegas, you by my side as my concubine," He smiled softly, then scowled, "I'd make sure you were fucked by Vulpes every night after me.

Ella scowled, bearing her teeth, breathing harshly with the stress and anger she felt. She raised the pistol, shaking violently now and went to squeeze the trigger, but Boone beat her to it.

The shot rang out, taking Caesar in the forehead. His head snapped back, and his eyes rolled into the back of his head. He remained in his Throne as his heart beat its final beat and the Emperor of the Legion died at the hands of the Courier's Love.

"Thumbs down, you son-of-a-bitch." Boone intoned. He turned to Ella, who still held her pistol aimed at Caesar's corpse. Boone gently placed a hand on top of the gun and pushed her hand down. He took the weapon from her hand and held her while she trembled with shock.

"Ella, it's over." He soothed her, he turned her away from Caesar's corpse and they moved together out of the tents and away from the Fort.

They crossed over the Dam where the Brotherhood of Steel had arrived and were beginning to take over the administration of the facility along with the Securitron forces which would provide security, as part of an agreement that they had forged with Ella, they would look after the Dam, and the Helios One solar plant. They would also assist in the training of the New Vegas Military.

Vegas would soon become a jewel in the Mojave. NCR Sharecroppers were given the offer to remain and start a new life in Vegas, where they could produce as much food as they liked, with no quotas to worry about, there were soon great fields of food to feed the soon blossoming population of New Vegas.

The Followers of the Apocalypse had plenty to do, with the arrival of more settlers, they often found themselves overwhelmed, and Ella and Boone would arrive to help Arcade and Julie Farkas as much as they could with the needs of the new settlers. Many were looking for work, most were suitable for the new Vegas security forces, others were given work in rebuilding and reclaiming old buildings. Man damaged buildings were cleared with sledgehammers, the recycled brickwork reclaimed and reused in reclaimed buildings.

Months after their victory and the independence of New Vegas, Boone and Ella were married by the King, and soon, Ella was overjoyed to discover that she and Boone were expecting a child. Boone couldn't keep the smile from his face; he became very protective of Ella.

He had a second chance with a woman he loved, and a baby on the way, but he was also wary, they never found Vulpes, he didn't turn up in the piles of Legion bodies that they burned, nor did any searches provide proof that he lived. Ella still had a score to settle with the sly fox

Ella knew he was out there; the man was a master of disguise and spy craft. She would often look around suspiciously before she left the Lucky 38 for anyone who looked suspicious.

She walked the strip, well known and loved by the populace, her belly growing with their child, Boone often a constant companion by her side, and Rex walked with her on the other side. One man stood in the shadows and watched. Soon he would return to his new Lord, and soon that new Lord would suffer an 'accident', bringing him to the mantle of Lordship, Vulpes Inculta smiled softly, one day, he would have the Courier by his side, he'd had a taste of her, three times, and she was still intoxicating, even more so now she was with child.

He would succeed where Edward Sallow hadn't, he would be Caesar… and he would take the Dam, Vegas, the Mojave and have the Couri
