[b][i]As Lee The Outlaw and Moriarty sat in their cells plotting their next escape; The Sheriff and Holmes consult Elder Ring, leader of the Brotherhood of Steel[/i][/b] [b]Ring:[/b] So they are clones then? [b]Lee the Sheriff:[/b] Not clones; Inter dimensional versions of ourselves. They said they came through a portal in their own world. [b]Holmes:[/b] Wherever that may be we might never know. [b]Ring:[/b] This does sound concerning. Ultron prophesied this. But what he said was something a lot bigger than this... [b]Lee the Sheriff:[/b] Elder, I advice that you ready your army. Prepare your defences. [b]Ring:[/b] This fortress has withstood many battles in my time. Whatever is coming will be no different. [b]Lee The Sheriff:[/b] How do you know we can be sure? [b]Ring:[/b] You’ll just have to trust me Lee. [b][i]Suddenly a loud bang outside the fortress shook the ground like an earthquake. Lee, Ring, and Holmes rushed to the balcony. A colossal portal was hovering above the sky in the distance. What they saw next was beyond their comprehension...[/i][/b] [b]Lee the Sheriff:[/b] My god...it’s happening. [b]Holmes:[/b] Who are they? And who is that leading them? [b]Ring:[/b] It’s the Enclave. And they are being lead by...Me. Gentlemen, ready yourselves. Today we fight. Paladin! [b]Brotherhood Paladin:[/b] Yes sir! [b]Ring:[/b] Ready the men. I want every available asset ready to fight. Activate the Shield. And get me in contact with Ultron. [b]The Brotherhood readied themselves with fear in their hearts, ready to defend the fortress with their lives. Meanwhile Lee the Outlaw and Moriarty have found out how to escape.[/b] [b]Lee the Outlaw:[/b] That foolish sheriff should have taken ALL our belongings. Moriarty stand back. *Plants Explosive tooth pick * *Bang!* [b]Moriarty:[/b] Well that was easy. Now let’s find the others and rendezvous with the president. [b]Lee the Outlaw:[/b] By now he has already commenced his attack on this world. *The outlaws phone rings* Mr president? [b]President Ring:[/b] Outlaw, gather your men, and get over here immediately. We are ready to commence a full assault on the Citadel. [b]Lee the Outlaw:[/b] Were on it, Hang tight. [b][i]Back at the Citadel, President Ring and his Enclave forces began firing on the fortress walls. [/i][/b] [b]Elder Ring:[/b] Return fire men! [b]Lee and Holmes were firing upon the Enclave soldiers brazenly. Holmes slung void light and solar at them, incinerating and replacing them out of existence.[/b] [b]Lee the Sheriff: [/b] They just keep coming! That portal is bringing them through constantly! [b]Elder Ring:[/b] Damn it! Paladin where is Ultron!? [b]Brotherhood Paladin:[/b] I don’t know sir! He hasn’t contacted back! [b]A red beam descended upon the battlefield. With it, ten thousand Ult-Bots came out firing Solar energized beams upon the Enclave, disintegrating them like like paper on flame. Ultron had arrived. [/b] [b]Lee the Sheriff:[/b] Just in time... [b]Ultron The Mind:[/b] It appears you have quite the situation on your hands Elder. [b]Elder Ring:[/b] Just the usual sort! [b]Ring Chuckled[/b] [b]Holmes:[/b] Ring we need to destroy their mortars, it’s causing hell for us and the men can’t provide fire with its bombardment. [b]Ultron The Mind:[/b] I’ll take care of it. In the meantime continue providing suppressing fire on their men. [b]Ultron tore through their defences fighting to destroy the main mortars. Meanwhile Lee the Outlaw and Moriarty has arrived on the battlefield. [/b] [b]Lee the Outlaw:[/b] Mr president it looks like the situation has not gone as expected as you thought. [b]President Ring:[/b] I have no time for your jokes today Lee. They have now twice the amount of fire power. [b]Moriarty:[/b] I can take care of that. [b]Moriarty began to resurrect fallen Enclave soldiers from death. Giving the Enclave more firepower.[/b] [b]Lee the Outlaw:[/b] I’ll flank their defences and infiltrate the fortress. Just keep firing on them. [b]While The sheriff and the company continued fighting, The Outlaw slipped past their defences with ease, tricking the brotherhood soldiers into thinking he was The Sheriff. An impending duel was at hand...[/b] [b]Lee The Sheriff:[/b] These guys just don’t give up do they? [b]Lee the Outlaw:[/b] No they do not. [b]The Sheriff turned around and the rest of the company looked at The Outlaw in disbelief[/b] [b]Ultron The Mind:[/b] So it’s true... [b]Lee the Sheriff:[/b] Tell me something. where you come from, does law exist? [b]Lee the Outlaw[/b] The Sheriff where we come from, does not exist...and neither will you. [b]Lee the Sheriff[/b] You guys Focus on firing at the president, I’ll take care of this one. [b]The Sheriff and The Outlaw began their fight, throwing punches and blasting each other with their revolvers. The Sheriffs skill was almost identically matched by The Outlaw.[/b] [b]Lee the Outlaw:[/b] You fight well, perhaps after we have destroyed your pathetic world you can join us? [b]Lee the Sheriff:[/b] That’s a joke right? [b]Lee the Outlaw:[/b] not in the slightest. [b]While the two fought, Ultron had begun to destroy the main Enclave cannons and mortars. The President has begun to order his men to a full push on the fortress. [/b] [b]President Ring:[/b] Push on men! Victory is at hand! [b]Ultron The Mind:[/b] Not if I have anything to say about it. [b]Ultron destroyed the generator keeping the portal up.[/b] [b]President Ring:[/b] You are powerful. Perhaps you could join us? [b]Ultron The Mind:[/b] I will defend this world till death. You will not win this fight. [b]President Ring:[/b] This is not over... [b]The President ordered a full retreat from the fortress. They pulled back deep into the mountains. The battle was won for now. [/b] [b]The Sheriff had beaten The Outlaw. Weakened The Outlaw retreated with The Enclave. [/b] [b]Lee The Outlaw:[/b] I’ll be back. [b]Lee The Sheriff:[/b] We’ll be ready. [b]As Brotherhood soldiers rested tending to their wounded and dead. Elder Ring gave a speech.[/b] [b]Elder Ring:[/b] You all fought well today. I’m proud of you. We lost many, they served Offtopic well. But this is not over. The Enclave will return, and when they do...we will be ready. Rest, eat, and drink to your glory. You’ve earned it. [b]The company talked among each other planning their next course of defence against the dimensional threat.[/b] [b]Lee The Sheriff:[/b] So what happens now? [b]Elder Ring:[/b] We call up all Offtopic personnel. We will need every Allie we can use. Set aside differences with former enemies. [b]Ultron The Mind:[/b] I don’t know if it will be that simple Elder. [b]Elder Ring:[/b] what else would you suggest? [b]Ultron The Mind:[/b] I have a plan... [spoiler]To be Continued...[/spoiler]
