Got bored, and decided to rewrite the whole arriving in the theater thing. It was pretty cringey even for me. In this version, the ZZZ agents currently playable will be reacting to Issei's past before he gets to New Eridu. This will be a Mr. House run with some twists and turns lol. 

It was a beautiful day in New Eridu. 

The birds were singing,

The flowers were blooming

A bright light covered several locations in New Eridu in an instant. 

A random door opened and Issei found himself looking at the bodies of his customers and friends. 

"What are you guys doing here?" Issei asked, calmly looking at the downed forms of Belle and Wise. The twins were worse for wear... well, most of them. "Easy," he said, offering his hands to the twins. 

"Issei? Where are we?" Wise asked, looking around. Issei pulled out a canteen and opened it after helping them out. 

"No clue," he said with a shrug as he chugged the contents of the flask down his throat. "But, my guns are not here. My implants are still working," he said with a shrug. "But by the looks of it, we're in a pre-war institute," 

"Pre-war?"  Belle asked, looking around as Eous landed on the ground next to Wise while Ed-E floated beside Issei. Noticing a nearby terminal, Issei approached it and started to play with it. 

"AHHH!!!"

"Wheee...." 

"Guys!" 

Issei raised his arms and gently caught Nicole and Anby with his arms while balancing on a foot as he used his other leg to catch Billy. Gently lowering the Cunning hares on the ground, Issei blinked as he saw a heavily armored man. -

"Heads up!" 

Hearing a familiar voice, a small grin appeared on Issei's face before he gently tossed the cunning hares aside and raised his hands. 

"Just dropping in!" Came the youthful and playful voice of a young woman dressed in raggedy robes with a device on her right arm as she landed on Issei's arms. 

"Sheesh, did you get heavier?" Issei asked teasingly, leaning out of a punch from a power fist.

"It's rude to say that to a lady," the woman in his arms said with a grin before hopping out of his arms.

Slap!

The heavenly dap of steel echoed in the room as the young woman and Issei grinned at each other.

"You're a year older." She said with a grin.

"Yeah, there's a time difference between dimensions, " he said with a shrug before looking at the twins and the cunning Hares.

"Oh? Who's the cute blue-haired girl?" She asked, playfully digging her elbow on his side. "Is she your?" Her eyebrows wriggled playfully before...

"Pull your head out of the gutter, Ver," Issei said with a sigh.

"Oh, Ed-E! Issei is being mean again!" Ver said with a dramatic sigh, hugging the Eyebot who beeped a bit.

Rolling his eyes at the Brotherhood of Steel member, Issei looked at his friends and gently pulled out a flask before taking a long swig and tossing it to the young woman. 

"Thanks, 'Sei!" Veronica said with a smile, chugging the remaining contents of the flask down her throat. 

"I'm the only one here, well..." 

"Hey, Issei," The door nearby opened, revealing a beautiful young woman with surgical scars on her head and body. Seeing her, both the Scribe of the Brotherhood of Steel and the Courier of the Mojave wasteland looked at the woman. 

"CHRISTINE!/CHRISSY!" The companions rushed towards the door and tackled the young woman in a crushing embrace she returned. 

"I missed the both of you!" Christine said, smiling happily with tears in her eyes as she felt the warmth of the courier who saved her life and befriended her in her darkest moments and the woman she loved with all her heart. "But before that, we have some guests," She said as the members of the Sons of Calydon, Victoria Cleaning, etc. 

0-0-0-0-0-0

"You used to travel with Issei?" Belle asked, looking as Veronica smiled at her. 

"Yep! Issei and I met in 188 trading post," Veronica said with a smile, holding Christine's hand as those nearby listened to her. "He was already with Ed-E around that time and was looking for Benny," 

"Fucker shot me in the head and I will NOT let that slide," Issei chimed in as he arrived, carrying some trays of food followed by Lycaon and Elle. "Thanks for the help, Lycaon,"

"It's fine, Master Issei," Lycaon said, filing away the fact that Issei got shot in the head. 

"You got shot in the head?!" Belle asked, looking horrified as she stood up, grabbed Issei's chin, and pulled him a bit to see better. Seeing this, Ed-E floated and took one of the trays while Veronica caught the other. Noticing some thin lines from some surgeries, she gasped loudly as she saw a scar on his head, not one but two! 

"Shot by Maria, two 9 mm bullets in my head, took several hours for Doc Michell to save me," He said with a shrug, casually shrugging off such a thing." 

"How did Benny Boy even catch you off guard?" Christine asked, looking curiously at Issei, ignoring how Belle held her friend's face to check for the bullet scars on his head. "You're a Desert ranger and I saw what you can do in the Sierra Madre," 

"I was in a bad place," Issei said, gently pulling Belle's hand away as Lycaon and the other members of Victoria Cleaning lowered the trays and prepared the tables for lunch. "An old friend of mine died and I got drunk," He said with a shrug. "I only had a machete and a 9mm pistol, I ran out of bullets when Benny and the Khans ganged up on me,"

"Well, even a drunk Desert ranger is a match for," 

"Raiders," He said with a shrug. "Benny caught me off guard and scared my Caravan away. I'm fine Belle, that was last year," he said to the female twin, gently trying to calm her down.  

"What's a desert ranger?" Nicole asked, looking at Christine as Issei sat beside Veronica, 

"Desert Ranger?" Christine asked, searching for her words as she held Veronica's hands. "Desert rangers are a group of survivalists located in Nevada and Arizona, they are more or less cowboys and  cowgirls protecting and teaching wastelanders how to survive and thrive in post-war America," 

"I'm curious, why do you refer to your home as post or pre-war?" Zhu Yuan asked as the trio looked at her and at each other. 

"And why is it a wasteland?" Caesar asked. 

"Well, you see, their version of Earth went through an extinction event known as Nuclear war," Issei said with a shrug. "October 23, 2077, the day the bombs fell, a day earlier than what Mr. House predicted, and the world burned," Issei said with a frown. "Invisible fires littered the expanse of what was once the strongest countries of the world, turning it into an irradiated wasteland for years," 

Hearing this, the people of the new Eridu listened to Issei but Belle picked something up. 

"Wait, their version of Earth?" Belle asked, looking pointedly at Issei,

"Yeah, I arrived in their version of Earth on January 13th of the year 2075, almost 200 years since the bombs fell," he said with a shrug. "I got isekai'ed when my first date stabbed me with a knife in a park," 

"Wait... is that why you were so guarded with Sarah?" Veronica asked, looking at Issei. 

"Sarah?" Belle asked with a frown. 

"Sarah Weintraub, one of Issei's various flings in the Mojave wasteland," Veronica said with a nod. "Her, along with Red Lucy, a well-known hunter of the Thorn," 

"Okay, Sarah is pretty nice and I was a bit psyched out, okay!" Issei complained with a sigh. "And Lucy was more of a surprise. I needed the money," 

"She made us hunt Deathclaws in the Quarry junction!" Veronica said with a glare. "We also got abused by a Legion death squad!" 

"Okay, okay! It was my fault!" He said with a sigh as he looked at Veronica. "But yeah, Sarah and I were more or less lovers..." He said with a shrug. "But Lucy was more of a one-time thing," 

"I see," Belle said with a frown as she looked at Issei. 

"Besides, says the one flirting with other women in Vault 21!" 

"unlike you, I have rizz~," 

"Oh, Screw you!" 

"No thanks, not my type!" 

"Fuck! Walked into that one," 

"Children," Christine said with an annoyed sigh and a fond smile. "To continue on, there are two types of survivors of the Nuclear wastelands, the first group belongs to Veronica and I, descendants of people who survived the Nuclear war outside of Vaults. The second are those people who survived by hiding inside underground Vaults and fallout Shelters," 

"If I get trapped in one, trap me in Vault 69! Give me the chance to be a harem king!" 

"Ah, yes, me too!" Veronica said with a goofy smile as the travelling companions lost themselves in la-la-land. 

"Behave," "focus," Belle and Christine gently tapped Issei and Veronica at the same time, snapping them out of their Delulus. 

"Sorry, but yeah. We Desert Rangers have been around since.... technically before the great war, founding our roots to Texas rangers," Issei said with pride in his voice. "We use Riot gears we procured or modified for our use. But by the time I joined, the Desert Rangers were technically extinct due to the Ranger unification treaty after we found ourselves losing against Caesar's Legion in Arizona," 

"You were a soldier, Issei?" Yanagi asked, eating some red bean paste bun. 

"Desert Ranger, but yeah. I joined the Lyons Pride chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel on the East Coast for a while during the Enclave-Brotherhood war of 2277," He said with a smile. 

"You already were Brotherhood?!" Veronica asked, looking at Issei with shock. "Then..." 

"Pfft... hole in the ground," Issei repeated one of the things she said to him before. "How do you think I pulled off those things in Power Armor?" Issei asked, remembering when he used a T-45 power armor with a built-in Jetpack armed with a modified Laser Pistol and a ripper chainsaw sword against some feral Nightkin and Centurion that would make Space Marines proud. 

"I don't know?! Luck? Skill?! I saw you Melee a Deathclaw without armor!" Veronica added, remembering how Issei took down a deathclaw with only a combat knife and without taking any damage. 

"If I want to Melee someone, I'll wear power armor," Issei said with a grin. 

"Issei... I saw you cut down a Legion hit squad with only a Machete of yours... I do not want to see anyone fight you in a place you can easily hide in and no one can see you," Veronica added with a sigh. She loved Issei like a twin brother but there were times when Issei terrified her, especially in combat. 

"Issei... how many people did you kill?" Hearing this... the entire table stopped and looked at Issei as he turned towards the one that asked the question, Seth. 

"I don't know... I lost count after," Issei said with a shrug, "In the wasteland, it's either kill or be killed outside of settlements and trusting the wrong person will either be life or death," The young man said with a shrug. "Don't judge me! I never finished high school!" 

"You... what?" 

"I never finished high school. I went from a pervert to a soldier in less than a few months to a courier," Issei said with a shrug. 

"What year did you finish then?" Elle asked, looking at the enigmatic courier. 

"First..." Issei said, looking down. "I only officially finished my first year of High school education..." 

....

...

..

.

"WHAT?!" 

Yeah, in standard forest fashion I rewrote this, so why the fuck not?! 

I was not a fan of the first version since it will add the events of FO3, in this version, Only Veronica and Christine are here instead of all the companions. All the agents up till now are here and are currently in the theater. 

Issei, Veronica, and Christine are in the Wasteland Steel group.
