When atomic fire consumed the Earth, those who survived did so in great, underground bunkers, known as Vaults. When they opened, their inhabitants set out across the ruins and safe plains of the world to build new societies; establishing new areas, and forming tribes.
— Anthony S. Towson

Dustin and Pina sat down in the room to begin the talks of peace. The latter was shaking.

Not that she was cold. No, she was shaking in fear.

A GE Mr. Handy came in and prepared several cups of warm water for them. Pina then asked the man in front of her about the water, "Is this water... 'irradiated'?"

"No. I have had it sanitized and purified it. There's no need to poison you, yet." Dustin replied with honesty.

Pina wished he lied but spoke again, "Is the 'Third World War' so devastating to you. Are you really the last of your government?"

Dustin looked at her before replying, "Before the bombs fell, the American president, the Mexican president, and the Canadian Prime Minister are nowhere to be found. Rumors suggest that they retreated to an oil rig. I and the other tribes have sent scouts to look for this oil rig, but none has been successful. But I hope they're alive considering they are the last of the North American governments."

"The war must be devastating if you don't even know that your nations leaders are alive." Pina said with sympathy.

"It is." Dustin simply replied.

"Then how does a nation survive with no government? Wouldn't you go into chaos?" Pina asked.

"Well, we're a democracy. The citizens elect their representatives to make decisions." Dustin replied.

"But doesn't that make you a target to tyranny?" Pina asked.

"Our military is more than enough to suppress any uprisings. It's another reason why the 15 tribes were made. To maintain order and peace." Dustin replied.

Pina nods, understanding his answer.

"It's better than anarchy their the motivation to keep on going. Now let's not dwell in the past and start talks of peace." He said pulling out some papers and pens.

Pina was looking at one of the robots with a white star on it and Sergeant rank, "Sir Walker, what's that other metal floating octopus?"

Dustin glanced at the robot than replied, "That's Sargent Gusty. He was part of the US Army that shoot lasers, but now serves the Enclave, the Brotherhood of Steel, the Texas Rangers and the Illustrados. Very useful in dealing with crowds of enemies. We also have Sentry Bots that shoots heavy weapons at the enemy."

Pina nodded as she desperately wants peace as she could not imagine legions upon legions of Sargent Gusties and Sentry Bots assaulting the capital.

-With the others

"Hey have you heard of the rumors of MIT? According to the rumors when the bombs fell, the residents of MIT retreated underground to hide from the radiation." Keith said,

Vincent then slapped his shoulder, "Stop believing in those conspiracy theory bullshit. Enclave and other tribes sent us on a merry goose chase to look for an oil rig that houses the leaders of the United States, Canada, Mexico and other high ranking officials. In the end, we ain't found shit. Most likely they're dead."

Keith said nothing.

"Anyway, let's get back to work. We can't just laze around and do nothing." Vincent said.

"Where are we going?" Itami said

Keith spoke up, "We are taking all of you as close and safe distance to the Glowing Sea. So the press team can film it first hand to get international help. There will be more mutants there so keep your guns ready."

When they reached the outskirts of the Glowing Sea, the Geiger counters can be seen ticking wildly. "The radiation is still dangerous. We will not enter the sea itself. The radiation will kill us." Keith said, the group nodded in agreement. "Due to the radiation here, we don't post any human or demi-human troops here. Instead we use robots such as Sargent Gusty, Sentry Bots, Assaultrons, protectrons, and Deathclaws."

The visitors of the wasteland soon reach a base call Delta 1. To their surprise it's staffed with robots. When the team reached the base a robot name Sargent Gusty approached them. Mainly the 3RT. "Are these red Chinese and North Korean forces in the presence of the US military?!"

"Stand down Gusty, they are allies. The Japs." Vincent ordered.

Gusty back off and responded, "Hmmmm, let me give you the fact that 73% of Chinese infiltrators deny to be infiltrators. I got my eye on you, 'Japanese'."

As Gusty floated away, 3RT clutched their rapid beating hearts from the fear they had. Kuribayashi asked, "What is wrong with him?" As she was afraid of the robot. The 3RT said, "We are fine." They are not fine. They are traumatized by Sargent Gusty.

"Believe me," Keith started. "Sargent Gusties were sent to Asia during the War. Most had to get reprogrammed because of the number of friendly they killed." The 3RT gulped and had an even harder time trying to calm themselves down. 3RT has no idea how to respond to this. Their worst nightmare is a reality.

The Press team then began to film the Glowing Sea in all its glory. Trevor spoke in his mic, "As you can folks, this is the Glowing Sea according to sources. A large nuke hit a nuclear power plant reactors thus creating the Glowing Sea."

Comments section;

"Oh my god!"

"Chernobyl x1000."

"This is worse than the Chernobyl, Ukraine and Three Mile Island."

"The US government did not listen to their engineers who wanted to shut it down." A commenter replied.

"I can't imagine living in Fallout Earth." Another commenter replied.

"How are they going to restore their country?" A commenter asked, a reply said, "No clue."

"I live near a power plant. I'm moving!", a comment said.

A repay said, "Good call."

"Is it really true that they have robots shooting lasers from their faces? What is it called? I'm not a nerd." Another comment said, a reply said, "Assaultrons."

"I'm seeing my next door neighbor move. We live near a power plant. Planning on moving myself next week. Can't take it anymore." A commenter said.

"Wait, Fallout Earth has demi-humans? Does that mean real life catgirls and dog girls exist there too? I need to move to Fallout Earth!" A comment said.

A reply said, "Nope."

"I thought they were a fantasy thing." A reply said.

"If a nuke is dropped on Japan or South Korea now, the only people left will be the demi-humans. And I have a feeling that China or North Korea are going to do that." A reply said.

"They would not. The UN is going to intervene. Right?" A reply said.

"The UN ain't gonna do shit. I'm from Somalia and the UN does jack shit." A reply said.

"China and Russia would probably want the land for resources. And the other countries would want it for the same reason. It's the land of the future. I think they're going to invade." A reply said.

"North and South Korea, China, and Russia, you are so fucking dead. I am not afraid to admit that I love watching karmic retribution in action." A reply said.

"Wait, is that mutants running towards you?"

"Feral Deathclaws! Lots of them coming out of the Glowing Sea ready your weapons!" Keith shouted as he ready his weapon.

The Sentry Bots sprung up into action shooting is heavy weapons, Sargent Gusties shot it's plasma and flamethrower and shouted, "Ready to die for your country!" Due to the superior weapons carried by the robots killed the deathclaws with CNN recording the whole thing on camera.

Comments;

"Wow, that is so cool"

"Fallout America has robots in it's military. The saderan empire is so screwed."

"I want a Sargent Gusty."

"It's like a video game."

"Wonder what happened to Cuba?" A reply said. Another reply said, "Cuba, is gone. Nothing left but an island full of radioactive rubble." A reply said, "Damn."

"As you can see, the Feral deathclaws were killed by the robots of FNA. Please tune in to us after the break to get more on Fallout America. As always this is Trevor from CNN signing out, goodbye." The video feed cut off.

Rory and Lelei were shocked at the devastation of the war to see it from a video but to see it in real time is another thing entirely. Skies choked with radioactive ash, abominations roamed the remnants of a dead world.

"What desperation made this world go to such extremes to have a Third World War?" Rory said.

 Vincent answered, "Desperation. Desperation is the main reason why a person goes to extremes. For a third world war, I say a mix of desperation and the desire for power. I guess we can never learn from the past." He was thinking back on the letters from Anthony and his father fighting in the war. His unit fought with the best of the best and were considered legends. He had seen the best and the worst. But it seems he has yet to see the worst.

Lelei then asked, "Will the Earth recover from this?"

Vincent paused and looked at the ground as he said, "Honestly, I have no clue. But the people of FNA will rebuild their nation from the ashes of the old. They will become anew and grow from the ashes of the past." Vincent is very much determined that FNA will recover from the war and will not follow in the footsteps of the Saderan Empire.

Rory then asked, "Why didn't your nation share your tech?"

But Lelei responded, "Rory look at it like this. Your rival and most hated rival is dying and you discovered a way to ease your suffering so you just need to wait until your enemy is dead. You don't give technology to your enemy which allow them to get on your level."

Vincent nodded and said, "That's the gist of it. Welcome to politics." Rory was shocked and unable to speak.

"Well, let's go back to a safe zone. Don't want all of you to get cancer or something." Keith said. The rose knights were shocked beyond belief at what this world gone through.

War.

A war that sent the collapse of civilization all over the globe. Bozes and Hamilton were scared as they ask, "Will you drop a nuke on us?"

Keith said, "If the situation requires it. Then we'll drop it." Rory knew that the empire can be sometimes a damn prick. But she felt that the empire don't really deserve the power of a star unleashed over them.

-Back at the negotiation table

"Look, I know we just attacked your base with a million men. But it's not the empire's fault. My brother went behind my father's back to mobilize the army. I beg you please spare us, you have already killed so much of our men that the people of Sadera has began calling you the 15 Demon Tribes of the Underworld." Pina said.

Dustin sighs and replies, "Okay, but I would want to meet with your father. But if you plan anything funny like framing us for some murder. You will regret crossing not me. But all of the 15 tribes. Are we clear?" Pina nodded, she can only hope her brother doesn't try anything stupid.

It was agreed that the leaders of Japan and FNA will be going to Sadera to discuss the terms of peace. However, Pina knows her father would not trust them, so she plans on giving the leader a little 'surprise' when they reach the capital. She can only hope her plan will work.
