Chapter 690: Prototype Fight
Elsewhere :
Rose's eyelids flutter as she slowly awakens, the soft mattress bringing a small smile to her tired face, but the cold, almost sterile air making her pull her covers over her head.
She lies there for a couple seconds, but immediately sits upright as recent events settle in her mind. "M-Mamma!" she exclaims as her eyes shoot open, the girl becoming surprised at the strange place she'd found herself in...
*Flashback*
The last thing she remembered was some sort of green smoke falling from the sky... Her mother dropping to the floor moments after for no reason whatsoever... She remembered the first aid things she'd been taught by Auntie Usanagi, but quickly became distraught when she didn't feel any pulse from her mother.
She started performing CPR, doing so for a couple minutes, but achieving anything at all. "Mama! Please wake up! Mama!" she begs, clutching Josie's slowly cooling body.
From the thick green fog covering them a large shadow appears, kneeling down next to her as it coughs and wretches from the fog. "Child! It's me, Marcus!... We need to leave! Look!" he exclaims, pointing in the distance, where large blue lasers could vaguely be seen from the fog.
But Rose refused to leave Josie, forcing Marcus to pick up the child and start running down the road in an attempt to avoid what was coming.
Rose reacts instinctively, entangling Marcus in roots stifling his movement greatly... He's actually forced to knock the little girl unconscious so he could save them both... Indeed, he could feel the static on his skin, feel the attack that was about to be unleashed.
In response to being knocked out, Rose's hair shoots out roots with envelope Marcus, quickly tightening after and forming a sort of pseudo armour around him. He ignores the peculiar sensation and continues running however, just as a humungous explosion occurs behind him.
*Flashback end*
Rose begins tearing up, the realisation that her mother was dead finally hitting her. She sits in the peculiar room and silently sobs to herself, unable to sees the walls becoming transparent and revealing Mr House, Tamia, Ulysses, and many other people watching her with concern.
"Rosie." Tamia says through the intercom, causing the girl to still and rigidly turn around.
"*Sniff-Sniff*, A-auntie?"
Tamia nods and gives a small smile, "Yes, I'm here Rosie."
"Auntie!" she repeats, running to the window where Tamia was standing, but quickly becoming confused at the divide separating them.
"That's for your safety as well as ours, Rosie... That green smoke? It contained a deadly virus that kills almost everyone instantly. You are resistant to it, but the rest of us aren't... You can't come out of that room until we deem it safe." she explains, attempting to comfort the young girl.
Rose sniffs to herself, an inch away from breaking down again, but forces herself to stay strong... For now. "W-where is daddy?"
House interrupts at this moment, his robot body stepping forwards as a screen lowers nearby, "He brought you in, but needed to leave in order to fight the people who attacked us. We can see how he's doing, but, it might not be pretty... Are you sure you want to see this?"
Rose nods, determination scrunching up her face. "I want to!"
The other people present also turn towards the monitor as it flickers to life, displaying one of the many cameras that were keeping an eye on the city above. There, they see Afton swinging an alien spacecraft at another with one of his mutated arms, the attack utterly annihilating both flying saucers which smashed into one another.
Ooo's from the crowd can be heard, most having never witnessed Afton fighting... Indeed, most of Afton's close friends had never seen him fight like this before. He was usually more tame, and due to his massively increased stats, most assumed that he'd been holding back ever since they met him.
After all, even Psykers would struggle to pull off the feats he was casually displaying now... Throwing vehicles, punching flying saucers apart, leaping from the walls of buildings like a human-sized rubber ball.
They could see he was having some difficulties though, not daring to directly block a laser the aliens sent at him. Judging by the fact they disintegrated anything that got hit, it was probably for the best anyway.
This only made everyone more anxious for his safety though, not knowing if he'd dodge the next attack, or even be able to withstand a stray shot he might not see coming.
Soon enough, the Aliens learn their collective lesson and stay far, far away from Afton while shooting him.
House hums to himself with consternation, "Hmm, seems like I will have to intervene... As much as I hate having to show him this." he mutters, wirelessly accessing the city's systems.
Elsewhere :
Afton growls as the aircraft continue to fly out of his reach. He gives up all defence and makes a reckless leap into the sky for one of the closer ones, but doesn't manage to reach them. In response, the flying saucers blast him with many lasers, most of which he dodges, but...
*POW!*
*HIIK!*
He shields himself with a root shield, but is knocked clear across the city from the sheer force of the impact. His root shield almost entirely vaporizing and releasing a steam explosion as a result.
It's lucky he doesn't take any fall damage, otherwise he'd have been bruised all over, bouncing off of the rooftops and eventually tumbling into an alleyway.
He tears off the remnants of the root shield connected to his arm, "HOT!" he exclaims while tossing away the scorched material.
"Afton!"
Afton jumps at hearing his name, almost turning around and shredding the suddenly appearing terminal that'd popped out of the wall. "House?" he asks after spotting the man's face on the screen.

Chapter 691: Big Fucks Given
"House?"
"It seems you're having trouble with the enemy, Afton. Perhaps I could provide some assistance?"
...
"Assistance? You mean reactivating the defence systems you turned off for some reason?" he questions with a small frown.
"I didn't willingly do that. The Alien's proved immune to our weapons, and almost instantly destroyed the defences we had... I deactivated the remaining ones to retain at least some defensive measures." House explains.
Afton mentally chides House, but understands why the man had done it...The Alien shields were far too resistant for any mundane weapon to get through them. "What assistance can you provide then? I doubt you've got a BFG sitting around unattended."
House pauses, unsure what a 'BFG' was, but ignores it and continues anyway, "I had been designing a weapon that may, or may not be able to disable Liberty Prime's shields, should the need arise."
Afton crooks a brow, "But Bulwark controls Liberty-.... Hey! You were making countermeasures against us, weren't you!" he retorts exasperatedly.
House gives a sheepish cough and refuses to acknowledge his potentially traitorous actions, "*Ahem!* Anyway, regardless of the implications when designing it, you seem to be needing it at this moment... Head to the Lucky 38, it will be delivered to you at the front doors... Oh, and try not to get my tower destroyed please?" he requests.
Afton shrugs, "Oh? Well, even my kindest intentions may lead to your tower accidentally receiving a few stray shots." he trails off, "It's unavoidable really." he snarks before leaping away, flipping out of the alleyway and towards the Lucky 38 as the Alien spacecraft continue to try and pick him off from afar.
"ITS A PROTOTYPE BY THE WAY, IT MIGHT EXPLODE IN YOUR HANDS!" House shouts futilely as Afton abruptly leaves, hoping that the prototype weapon wouldn't end up killing Afton...
He dodges yet another of the many lasers, but is forced to protect himself as one smashes into his hastily made root shield... He's sent careening down the street again, this time going straight through a shop's window...
He groans as he gets back up, but notices a tall, thick mirror sitting next to him in the shop. Afton grins and picks it up, running out of the store into the oncoming laser fire and using the mirror as a bat, proceeding to swing it as if hitting a baseball.
*SHATTER!*
The mirror shatters as the first shot connects, but somehow manages to reflect it just as the glass turns into a superheated melting mess.
One of the flying saucers was unlucky enough to be caught off guard by this, allowing the laser to connect with it...
*BOOM!*
The ship almost instantly explodes, its shields imploding as the laser connects... The other aircrafts scatter and get some distance in response to one of their own being randomly destroyed like that. Allowing Afton to reach the Lucky 38 almost completely unmolested.
Once there, the ground opens up and pushes a strange-looking weapon towards him...
"I was only joking about the BFG... What the fuck." he mutters, as he hefts the large, futuristic-looking weapon that glows an eerie green... The ground also spits out a number of green canisters, presumably additional ammo.
Afton nods to himself and finds some cover behind the recently renovated, and currently ruined Omerta Casino.
After the shock of one of their comrades being randomly destroyed wears off, they quickly begin looking for Afton again. The flying saucers flying in formation over New Vegas.
Waits for an opportunity to strike, and jumps out of cover with the BFG-Pulse Gun with a vicious grin plastered across his face, "Say hello to my little friend!"
*ShhhhHHHK!*
...
Afton glances down in confusion as the still charging gun, tapping it a couple times as the flying saucers get closer and closer, arming their weapons.
"Just fucking shoo-"
*BEEEEEEEIIIIIIIING!!!!!*
A massive green energy globule leaves the barrel of the BFG, flying past the alien aircrafts as a wave of static green lightning follows it, enveloping the ships.
*JUKUKUKUKUUUK!*
The aircraft seem almost completely unharmed at first,. but quickly their systems begin to fail. First goes the shields, then the lights, then their flight systems stop, allowing them to fall from the sky.
All of them abruptly fall like rocks dropped in water, slamming into the ground and flipping due to their weirdly shaped ships.
Afton gives a kick to one bouncing towards him, splitting it, and its occupants in half from the sheer force of the exchange. He then starts tearing apart the other landed ships, using his plant arms as whips, blades, hammers... You name it.
The Aliens actually start getting out of their ships and start firing at him with smaller versions of the ship's lasers, but Afton easily dodges and blocks them. The aliens simply weren't able to keep up, and if Afton had to guess, they were actually weaker direct combatants than your average bandit.
Their bodies were slow and very frail, were it not for their advanced weaponry, they wouldn't last a second against any faction on earth... Which, means they were easy picking for Afton.
He easily kills all of them except one, he leaps at the alien, smashing its weapon out of its hands and grabbing it by its thin throat. He fingers penetrate the glass-dome-like helmet, allowing Afton to easily tear it off.
Afton gets face to face with the Alien, grinning maliciously, "You guys killed, my, wife." he states in its language with cold rage, waiting to see what the creatures would be. Its incredibly frail, and he kept having to hold himself back from crushing its bulbous green head, or tear it in half like a Kitkat.
He takes a great degree of satisfaction as its black eyes widen at understanding his words.
