Capítulo 211: Make the NCR great again!
With the NCR forces now joining the battle, the pressure on Afton and Karl's shoulders had lifted somewhat. Both had honestly been ready to die at any moment, at least now they had a good chance to win this fight.
"We need to back up, even with the NCR we are unlikely to win this... Go, get back to Boone." Afton says as he gets ready to start shooting at the Fiends again, this time without the LMG.
Karl crouches and moves as quickly as possible towards the NCR forces, bullets flying overhead as the Fiends tried their best to hit anything or anyone.
Fortunately for the former-ranger, most of their focus was still on Afton who'd already picked a couple people off with clean and decisive shots. Once Karl had gotten to safety Afton himself had started moving, mentally thanking the NCR troopers who had decided to apply suppressing fire to assist him.
Still, that didn't stop the Fiends from releasing their many mongrels. A small army of rabid-looking dogs had suddenly started sprinting towards him, snarling with foam, saliva, and blood pooling from their mouths. Clearly they had been injected with some chems to get them in fighting condition.
The NCR did their best to pick the dogs off, but a few were directly behind Afton, making it too dangerous to try and shoot them. Afton himself used VATS to check the situation behind him, grimacing slightly at how close a few of the dogs had gotten... He was faster than most humans that've ever existed, but he was still lacking when compared to creatures designed with speed in mind.
Stopping VATS and turning his head slightly as he ran, he shot a couple of the dogs that were chasing him, their flailing bodies were quickly trampled by the others though, making their numbers seem completely unaffected.
He tries to fire again but curses as he hears the familiar *click* indicating that it was out of ammo, holstering That Gun and drawing Lucky. Again, he unloads all of its ammunition at the dogs to prevent them from swarming him and tearing him apart, but their numbers just don't seem to decrease.
*Click!*
"Fuck!" he shouts as he holsters Lucky while continuing to run as fast as possible, that is, until some jaws lock around his ankle. He wrenches his foot forwards with his 10 Strength, snapping the dogs neck, but this action had slowed him enough to allow the slower ones to attack.
Not wasting any time, Afton draws his knife and strikes as hard and fast as his body would allow at the nearest dog leaping up at him to get its pound of flesh.
The other dogs didn't even seem to care when he literally beheaded the dog midair, in-fact, the smell of its blood seemed to excite the group more. Afton continues slashing away at the beasts trying to overrun him, his remaining arm looking like a blur as it acted like a lawnmower, killing anything that came close.
This continued until the Fiends eventually got bored of letting their dogs do the work, beginning to start firing on their own pets in an attempt to get Afton. This killed many more dogs than Afton had actually done, allowing him to start retreating again as the beasts were distracted by their allies gunfire.
Soon enough, he reached the NCR forces. He was slightly out of breath but more or less alright. The nearby soldiers gave him wary looks due to the blood covering him but he didn't let it bother him... Instead he made his way to Boone and Karl who were sitting next to each other behind a small makeshift wall made from scrap metal.
"Boone, you have no idea how happy I am to see you." he says with a huge grin.
Boone nods and tosses something at him, "Thought you two were dead, decided to reposition and wait to see if that was true... Knew you guys were some of the luckiest and unluckiest people I've ever met."
Afton looks down at the NCR radio Boone had just passed to him, he'd given it to the man before he and Karl had started sneaking into the Fiends base. So this was how he'd managed to acquire some NCR support. "Well, you know us. When it seems good it's bad, when it seems bad it's good. Sometimes I think the universe just hates us." he shrugs.
Karl slowly nods at that before scowling, "Boone, have you seen Nephi amongst the Fiend forces?" he asks, wanting to get some payback for those poor hostages that'd been obliterating on that man's orders.
Boone frowns slightly and takes another look into his scope, "I think he's down there... He knows that there are snipers around though, letting his own men take the damage while he attempts to control the battle."
Afton sends a smirk to Karl at this and takes a look at the Fiends, noticing that they were slowly advancing upon the position where he'd set his trap. A little longer and the could end this all in one go.
Honestly, he was thinking of asking Boone to set off his trap, but wondered if that would apply his Perks to it or not... Shaking his head, he'd just have to do it himself.
Afton struggles to get his Anti-Material rifle off of his back before sliding it atop the cover they were behind, using the makeshift wall as a stabiliser. He shifts its weight with his remaining hand and locks onto his trap, confirming that it was still there.
He disengages and looks around at the NCR forces for their captain, eventually finding a man wearing a green beret. "Excuse me, Captain-?" "Krajcik" "Captain Krajcik. I need you to have your men slowly retreat, I've set a trap for the Fiends but need them to advance closer to our position."
The man raises a brow, "What'd you think we were doing in the first place? There's no way we can fight off this many Fiends... What have you got planned Parker?" he says, clearly knowing who Afton was.
Afton smirks at him, "Oh, quite the light show, I assure you."
Captain Krajcik nods, "I'll trust you on this, let's hope whatever you've got doesn't doom us all." he says while ordering some of the front lines to start collapsing towards the backline, a tactic that would allow them to give suppressing fire for the units in the most danger.

Capítulo 212: New-clear resolution...
The Fiends quickly noticed the NCR's movements, streaming forwards like a wave of dirty molasses. Afton took aim at his trap as the Fiend forces were almost in position.
...
...
"Karl, tell the NCR to take cover, I have no idea how powerful this'll be..."
His companion nods and quickly starts shouting for the NCR to get down, and after waiting a few moments for the NCR to hear Karl he fires his Anti-material rifle... Directly at the Mini-Nuke he'd planted earlier.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!*
A light brighter than the sun washes over the area, no, the region. Shouts of panic erupted from behind Afton as he pulls out his sunglasses, not bothering to mention the large crack on the lenses that was slowly closing on its own.
After the light came the heat, as if a heatwave had just punched everyone present in the face, it makes everyone feel as if they'd just been put in an oven or a microwave. Bare skin burned slightly, and anyone who was trying to see what'd just happened had to quickly close their eyes or risk damaging them. Honestly, the heat made the regular Mojave weather look like a cold spell!
Next, After the heat came the shockwave. A few people's eardrums burst as the loudest sound he'd ever heard erupts, quickly followed by a wave of force that knocked anyone still standing off of their feet. Afton had to duck as stray shards of metal that'd been launched from the explosion like shrapnel passed by him... Perhaps planting the Mini-Nuke without a pile of scrap metal wasn't the greatest idea?
Uses VATS and surveying the situation behind him, he could spot that a few NCR soldiers had been injured. Though, none seemed to have been killed.. Yet.
Once he deactivated VATS he himself was almost blown away, the shockwave somehow increasing in intensity compared to the first blast. His eye's widened as a cloud of smoke and dust rushed to their position, quickly enveloping everyone.
Afton didn't waste any time and covered his mouth with many layers of fabric, he was sure they were out of the immediate radioactive zone, but perhaps the power boost acted differently with nuclear weaponry? The chain reaction caused by the radioactive material might not just simply be increased by 100% as his Perk had stated... He really needed to work out how it worked. Though, perhaps he should've tried that before he detonated a literal nuclear bomb!
After a couple minutes the dust obscuring everything finally settled, allowing everyone in the area to see the humungous mushroom cloud that'd formed overhead.
Gasps of shock, awe, and fear could be heard from the NCR troopers behind him. Though, Afton was more interested in the scorched ruins left behind by the explosion. Where once stood hundreds of Fiends ready to charge their position, now only held one huge crater.
He was amazed that- [Perk Acquired! : Nuclear Friendly]
[Nuclear Friendly] : Decreases friendly fire damage allies take from your Nuclear weapons by 30%.
...
Honestly he hadn't expected to get a Perk for this. Additionally, the Pekr he was given was essentially useless, even if you could avoid 30% of the damage a nuclear weapon could deal, the other 70% would more than certainly wipe you from existence.
Afton was shaken from his thoughts when a hand landed on his shoulder, glancing at whoever it was, he was greeted by the image of a shocked-looking Boone who's sunglasses were crooked on his face, as if he hadn't had time to readjust them yet.
"That... Was scary." he says simply, still clearly shaken by the utter destruction unleashed by the bomb. It was at that moment that Afton realised that despite the residents of the wasteland living in a post-nuclear world, none had every experienced the sheer power of a Nuclear weapon... Afton had seen videos and other depictions of it so he knew what to expect... But Boone and everyone else? Most probably thought it was just a larger than usual bomb... Not to mention he hadn't exactly warned them that this would happen...
Boone continues after taking a moment to compose himself, adjusting his sunglasses so he didn't look like a dope. "We need to find another one and plant it under Caesers chair." he states, causing Afton to start laughing.
His laughter seemed to bring most of the NCR soldiers out of their shock, some cheering at the fact they'd utterly annihilated their enemies. Captain Krajcik stumbled over to Afton and slumped against the wall next to him, "So, you weren't going to tell me that your 'trap' just so happened to contain a literal nuclear bomb?"
...
Afton shrugs, "Youknow, I once heard someone say that 'surprises were fun'... Well? Was it fun?" he asks, semi-sarcastically, completely avoiding his initial question.
...
"No. I doubt my injured men would say they had fun either... I should be mad but, some of my men would probably lose their lives trying to fight the Fiends. Atleast now I won't have to bring bad news to any of their families."
Afton nods, "Erm, as thanks for saving you all that trouble, would you mind vouching for me that Nephi had been killed? I don't think there'd be much left of him after that, let alone his head."
Captain Krajcik just shakes his head, "I don't think anyone will question that Nephi is dead... Afterall, you did drop a nuke on him. Besides, I doubt anyone in Camp McCarren could've missed that." he says, pointing at the mushroom cloud hovering above them.
Afton glances at his Geiger counter and notices that the radiation in the area had picked up slightly... Perhaps radioactive material was going to start falling upon them like unwanted snow? "Er, we should probably get back to camp, it'd be better to report what'd happened sooner than later. Plus getting the injured to safety is very important." he says, not even hinting at the fact he may have irradiated the whole area.
Captain Krajcik nods in agreement, looking grateful at his worry for the injured troopers...
