Chapter 3, Rebellion

---

As Slade and Fear entered Freeside, they spoke to eachother not as soldiers, but as friends, for the first time. Slade told Fear about his time with the Great Khans, and how brutal the initiation was, Slade joked that it probably didn't soudn that bad to Fear. Fear didn't really smile, more of a smirk. Slade offered to take Fear to the Ultra Luxe and buy her food, but she refused, she wasn't about to go on a date with the same guy that had taken her from the safety of Camp Golf. Slade walked past the King's HQ, and a couple of them came up to him. "Who's this girly here with ya, your wife soldier boy?" Slade shook his headm not speaking. THis only made the King's angrier "Ya know, you should avoid Freeside if you enjoy breathing" They scratched his helmet with a switchblade, and Slade pressed his Sequoia into their ribcage, suddenly, a thug came out from a nearby building, and shot the king dead,making it look as though Slade was a murderer. The King fell to the ground dead, and the others looked at Slade "KILL EM'!" Slade grabbed Fear, running into an alley, throing her behind a roadblock "Stay here, I'm gonna settle this!" Fear glared at Slade, letting out a growl, he looked at her. "I-I know, you can kick my ass later just stay here!" More Kings ran into the streets, cornering Slade and Fear in the alley, Slade didn't want to kill anyone, and started firing blanks at the crowd "The NCR does not want to go to war, allow the woman to go free and I'll turn myself over!" The Kings talked among themselves, and eventually, Caesar stepped in front of them all "Don't listen to this soldier boy, he doesn't care about Freeside, he only wants to save his own skin!" The Kings started chanting, they wanted Slade, they wanted to humiliate him, they wanted him dead "Take the helmet off!" One yelled, and threw a Molotov cocktail into the alley. Slade was able to dodge it, and ran out of blanks, he decided to try and get Fear out of the alley, grabbing her. As Slade got Fear into the open, Caesar pulled out a pistol, firing an armor piercing round at Fear, Slade grabbed Fear, pulling her away, taking the bullet, it pierced his armor, and a blood stain showed up on his trench coat, he twitched, and reached for his backup radio "R-Ranger is injured...I-I require backup" Just then, dozens of NCR MP's flowed through the Strip's gate, and fired bean bag rounds into the crowd, the King's fired back, and pushed the NCR back into the Strip. They had created a distraction, and that was enough. Fear helped Slade limp to the gate, and get through to the Strip. Eventually, they reached the Ultra Luxe, and Slade got a room, lying down. He treated his own wounds, and gave Fear the bed. Fear was grateful to Slade in fact...maybe she would take him up on the offer to eat in the Ultra Luxe while they were in town...
