Chapter 446: Unfair Clash...

[John Wick Style is in MASSIVE EFFECT!!!]

Afton sprints up the hill towards the charging Legionaries. He almost scoffs under his helmet at the fact they think simple machetes would be able to harm him! Once the groups clash Afton simple kicks one, sending him flying with his innards blasting out of his stomach due to the blades attached to the Power armour's feet.

He punches the next man, ignoring the machete that'd slammed ineffectively against his helmet. His punch instantly crushes their skull, sending brain matter and bone fragments blasting away. The next man's charge slows slightly at the sight of the carnage Afton had just wrought, but doesn't get a chance to retreat when Afton thrusts his Anti-Material Rifle's barrel into his chest and pulls the trigger, once it hits, blowing a huge hole in the man's chest.

*DAGAGAGAGAGAGAGA!*

*PINGPINGPINGPINGPING!*

Afton turns towards the group that was shooting him with assault rifles, all of their bullets easily bouncing off of his armour. To be honest, the only negative about his armour is the fact his Danger Sense almost never activates... If something can't harm him, it isn't considered a threat after all!

Regardless, he sprints towards the group, a few run away and those left are crushed underfoot. Afton reminisces on whether or not this is how Mario feels when he's crushing Gombas... He chases after the fleeing Legionaries, the first he catches up to is picked up by their arm and swung at the rest as a make-shift weapon.

"PLEASE NO!" the Legionary manages to get out before Afton starts swinging. The Legionary's limp body slams into his compatriots, knocking out a few while kill the rest. The man/weapon's bones were already all broken, his spine was ruined and he'd never walk again, not that Afton would give him the chance though...

Once Afton had gotten all the use out of the man he drops him on the floor and stamps on his head, covering the ground in brain matter. He glances around the entrance of the Fort for any more enemies and raises a brow when he spots none... "They must all still be inside..." he mutters while looking at the gate.

He looks behind him at his companions who were only now catching up to him... Karl wipes some sweat off of his forehead and smirks at him, "You are giving me a set of that armour when we get back, kid! You damn monster!" he laughs while nudging half a Legionaries corpse with his foot.

"THERE THEY ARE!" the group are interrupted from their reverie by a shout from atop the gate. A large group of Legionaries run up and rests their heavy rifles on the gate while aiming at Afton's group.

Afton and Veronica were already moving to get in front of the group. Boone and Karl were already shooting, the former using nailing two in the head with his Hunting Rifle while Karl sprays a couple down with his Light Machine Gun.

However the Legionaries reciprocate, the shots bouncing off Afton and Veronica's power armour like pebbles being thrown by children. Afton chuckles under his helmet and loads another Explosive round into his Anti-Material Rifle, immediately firing it at the top of the gate.

*BOOM!*

The Legionaries are thrown off of their position atop the gate, some to their deaths while others are just gravely injured. After the coast is clear Veronica and Afton charge at the gate and slams into it with their shoulders.

The explosion earlier must've weakened it, as the gate jolts slightly at their charge then falls down as if nothing was keeping it upright in the first place. The injured Legionaries are crushed under the gate, but that isn't what attracts the duo's attention... No, that'd be the sea of red all pointing guns at them...

"Fuck!" Afton exclaims as he pushes Veronica away and shields himself by crossing his arms in front of his face.

*BANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANG!!!!!!!!!*

The rain of bullets is so fierce that it actually pushes Afton back, leaving trails in the dirt as he slides backwards! If he had been wearing standard-issue Brotherhood of Steel Power armour he'd have definitely died at this point! Fortunately, he had world-class scientists working under him to develop such durable armour!

Afton gives a shout as he starts moving against the tide of bullets, the legionaries have to reload eventually though, the lull giving Afton a chance to charge at them. His Danger Sense flares up too late however as a punch to his face knocks his head to the side, he was quite frankly surprised by the force of it, but it isn't enough to do any 'meaningful' damage.

[Grit is in effect]

He grins under his helmet, still, a tiny amount of damage still counts a 'damage', enough so for his Perk to go into effect. A blocks the next swing of his attack with his arm, catching the wrist and now spotting the fact that he was wearing a Powerfist. "You're gonna regret that!" he says, his voice modulator making him sound like a literal demon to the Praetorian guard who'd punched him.

Afton tears the Powerfist from the man, breaking his hand in the process before he grabs his neck and uses him as a make-shift meatshield against the army of freshly reloaded Legionaries. "COME GET SOME!" he shouts as she sprints towards them.

Behind him the rest of his group were already hard at work, firing from defensive positions to try and quell some of the huge Legion numbers... Still, even if they took out a hundred people they'd still be drastically outnumbered.

"Bark!"

The group turn towards the sound and spot Dogmeat, seemingly trying to lead them somewhere. If this were any normal dog they'd ignore it, but since Dogmeat was literally hooked up to Glados, one of Afton's AI's, it shouldn't be leading them astray.

Veronica looks at them, "You guys go do what we came here for and try to find the others, me and Afton will try draw the Legion's attention towards us."

"You just wanna go punching shit!" Karl accuses semi-playfully.

Veronica firmly puts her tongue in her cheek as she responds, "Ah, you caught me." she giggles before running off, punching a Praetorian guard in the face and causing his head to splatter and decorate the surroundings.

Chapter 447: Warzone

Karl, Boone, and Anja all follow Dogmeat through the more residential area of the Legion's Fort. Slaves and noncombatants cower in their tents and around one another while the occasional soldier directs them to stay calm and obedient.

Of course, the sounds of utter mayhem at the front of the Fort wasn't helping their efforts along. Karl's eyes were like a Hawk's as he sifted through the cowering people for his daughter, yet he'd not spotted her yet. This would be disheartening to most, but Karl was sure his daughter was made of tougher stuff than that.

Dogmeat continued leading them until they spotted a relatively large group of Praetorian guards surrounding some people... Though, upon closer inspection it was actually Josie and Tamia, the latter of which was holding CAESAR GOD DAMN HOSTAGE!?

Karl holds Dogmeat back as the others of his group prepare to enter the fray, once Boone and Anja were ready they leap into action. Dogmeat runs up towards the group and immediately lets out a Sonic bark, knocking most of them off of their feet. Afterwards dashing forwards and tearing out a Praetorian guard's throat.

Karl and Anja were already moving as well, their automatic weapons spraying the unfortunate guard with bullets. They aren't able to properly defend themselves due to being disorientated by Dogmeat's attack, making them easy prey for the rest.

Boone himself was more interested in taking out higher priority targets, specifically the one's wielding heavy rifles instead of Power fists... If one of his group got killed by a Powerfist then they probably deserved it...

Most of the Praetorian guards are immediately killed in the sudden assault, but the few that survive to retaliate with lethal force. Karl and Anja get shot a couple times, but the bullets don't pierce through their Deathclaw leather dusters, instead just lodging themselves in the hide and bruising the flesh underneath.

The only real injury they sustain from the guards is on Anja and Karl who receive a couple of grazing shots that'll be hurting like a bitch tomorrow. Karl runs up and kicks the rifle out of a guard's hands while smashing him in the face with the butt of his rifle, afterwards shooting four shots into their chest and head for good measure...

With that, the battle ends, leaving the only enemy still in the area, Caesar. Not that it mattered, judging by how pale the tyrant looked, Tamia had him completely under control. Josie was using a crutch to walk and her leg was covered by bloody bandages, it seemed to be quite a severe injury...

"Tamia! How the fuck did this happen?!" Karl exclaims, utterly confused about how their relatively simple mission had changed into a kidnapping!

"Are you complaining?! I have the biggest scum of the earth at my mercy!" she states, tightening her hold around Caesar's neck.

"You will all regret this! I know your faces, I know your group... Your tribe is forfeit as well your traitorous whore-Ghuk!" his rant is interrupted as Karl slams his fist into the tyrant's face.

The older man shakes his sister off and brushes some ethereal dirt from his knuckles, "I'll make sure you won't live to try, bastard!... Now. WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER!" he shouts in his face, spittle wetting Caesar's cheeks.

"Daughter? I know nothing about your children, scum." Caesar calmly retorts, as if the saliva on his face is an everyday occurrence.

Karl growls and lightly drives the barrel of his weapon into Caesar's chest, knocking the wind out of him and causing him to splutter. "You will tell me anything you know, you rotten piece of shit!"

"G-guys, can we try and get on with the mission... I don't know about you but I'm feeling a little light-headed..." Josie says from the side, blood loss clearly starting to affect her.

Karl scowls and shakes his head, get him to lead you to the bunker, I'll be looking for my daughter." he states, giving a nod to Boone before walking away.

Tamia examines the group and is about to wonder where Afton and Veronica are... Though, it isn't difficult to guess judging by the sounds of absolute carnage happening not far from their position.

She turns her attention to Caesar who already looks to be scheming his escape... Not that it was likely in the current situation, the man didn't seem to be all that combat-capable, even Josie in her injured state could probably overpower him.

"Alright, 'Great and Mighty Caesar', let's go see how that underground bunker is doing, maybe after I'll consider letting you go with your manhood intact." she states ominously.

"Your here for that? You won't be able to open it, even a ton of TNT wouldn't blow that place open. You're wasting your time!" he scoffs.

Tamia snorts, "We'll have to wait and see then, won't we. Now, remember, if you lead us astray I'll cut you to pieces, started with little Caesar."

Elsewhere :

Afton slams into another crowd of Legionaries, continuing his charge even after impact until he's eventually stopped by a brick building that seems incredibly out of place in the Fort. Regardless, the unfortunate people who'd been caught between him and the brick wall during his charge were just red smears now.

He pulls himself out of the human-shaped indent he'd made and charges back towards the larger group of Legionaries who were still shooting at him.

Veronica was nearby, punching people to her heart's desire... Her unique weapon Two-Step Goodbye caused people to explode every few attacks, she still didn't understand how, but the fact it worked was all that mattered.

*brum-brum-brum-brum-brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!*

She ducks as she hears the sound, narrowly avoiding the chainsaw-wielding psycho before bringing her arms up to block the next attack. The Chainsaw blade is brought down on her armoured forearms, the metal teeth grinding against her Saturnite plating by achieving almost nothing.

The only 'harm' it does cause is the metal heating up slightly due to the friction. Sparks fly away from where they were pushing against one another, Veronica gets a huff and pushes the man away, her mechanically enhanced strength easily sending the man flying!

The chainsaw flies out of his hands and hit another Legionary in the neck, chewing his flesh up well and good, judging by how much he's bleeding he certainly wouldn't live through it!

"You guys are so damn stupid!" she huffs, beginning to feel tired but continuing her massacre regardless.
