Izuku The Survivor of Vault 111

Izuku took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the capsules containing his mother and Eri. He was still trembling from the fight, but he knew he couldn't afford to rest. He had to get them out of there. 

He approached his mother's capsule first. The console next to it displayed blinking lights and a series of commands he didn't fully understand. He pressed a button marked *"Manual De-freeze."* A buzzing sound resonated, and slowly, the capsule began to open. 

**Mother:** *(Coughing)* *What… what's happening?* 

**Izuku:** *(Helping her out)* *It's okay, mom. We're fine, but we need to move. Everything's gone wrong here.* 

She looked around, confused, but nodded when she saw the serious expression on her son's face. Izuku then moved to Eri's capsule. Her small hands were still curled up against her body, deeply asleep. 

**Izuku:** *(In a soft voice)* *I'm here, little one. Everything will be okay.* 

He repeated the process, and soon Eri was in his arms. Though she was still a bit drowsy, she opened her eyes enough to look at Izuku and smile weakly. 

**Eri:** *(Mumbling)* *Daddy… cold.* 

**Izuku:** *(With a reassuring smile)* *I know, my little one. But it's over now. Let's go home.* 

Just as he was ready to move, he heard footsteps behind him. He quickly turned, gripping the gun he had taken. It was **Piper**, who looked relieved to see him. 

**Piper:** *(Breathing heavily)* *Izuku! You're awake! I've been looking for you. Everything here is a mess.* 

**Izuku:** *Are you okay?* 

**Piper:** *More or less. I don't understand what's happening, but I've seen horrible things in other parts of the shelter. We need to get out of here before something worse happens.* 

**Izuku:** *Alright. Stay close. We're getting my family out of here.* 

Together, they moved through the shelter's corridors. The place was desolate, with debris scattered everywhere and flickering lights creating an eerie atmosphere. At certain points, they found empty or malfunctioning capsules, with their occupants frozen in irregular patterns. 

In a maintenance area, Izuku found something that caught his attention: a **Pip-Boy** sitting on a table, covered in dust. 

**Izuku:** *(Carefully picking it up)* *This could be useful.* 

He strapped the device to his left arm and turned it on. The screen lit up his face as he browsed through its functions. The Pip-Boy displayed a map of the shelter, an inventory system, and audio logs belonging to Vault-Tec personnel. 

**Piper:** *(Curious)* *What's that?* 

**Izuku:** *A device for managing information. It could help us get out of here.* 

The Pip-Boy also displayed a path to the shelter's exit, labeled *"Main Access."* Izuku led the group with renewed confidence, adjusting the gun in his hand. 

On their way, they encountered an obstacle: several **giant radioactive cockroaches** blocked a hallway. 

**Mother:** *(Frightened)* *What the hell are those things?* 

**Izuku:** *(Shielding Eri with his body)* *Stay back. I'll handle it.* 

The cockroaches charged toward them, but Izuku reacted with military precision. He pulled the trigger of the pistol, taking down one after another. Though the shots echoed through the corridors, the danger was quickly neutralized. 

**Piper:** *(Impressed)* *Wow… looks like your training is still intact.* 

**Izuku:** *(Wiping sweat from his brow)* *I had no choice. Let's keep moving.* 

Finally, they reached the shelter's main door. A huge circular gate blocked their exit, with a control panel on one side. Izuku connected the Pip-Boy to the panel, following the instructions that appeared on the screen. 

**Pip-Boy:** *"Proceeding with main door opening. Please stand clear of the mechanism."* 

The sound of giant gears turning filled the air as the gate slowly moved. The light from the sun began to filter through the opening, temporarily blinding them. 

**Mother:** *(With tears in her eyes)* *Is that… the outside?* 

**Izuku:** *(Holding Eri tightly)* *Yes. But we don't know what's waiting for us out there. Prepare for the worst.* 

When the door opened completely, the group stepped into the outside world. What they found left them speechless. 

A desolate landscape stretched before them. The ruins of what was once a thriving city were now covered in ashes. The sky had a dull gray hue, and the air was heavy with the smell of destruction. 

**Piper:** *(In shock)* *So… this is what's left.* 

Izuku looked at his family, his mother still trying to process what she was seeing, and Eri, who was sleeping in his arms, oblivious to the chaos. 

**Izuku:** *(With determination)* *No matter what happened here, we're going to find a way to survive. I won't let anything happen to you.* 

With the Pip-Boy as their guide, Izuku took the first step into this new and unknown world, determined to protect his loved ones at all costs.
