บท 206: Disaster
"EAT LEAD" Karl shouts as he pulls the trigger, making sure to aim at the Fiends and avoid the hostages that were on the left side of the room.
*DAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGA!*
[John Wick Style is in effect]
Quickly, panic overtook the room, Fiends trying to draw their weapons but being shot dead before they could get them out of their holsters. Some even using their allies as meat shields to protect themselves.
Their situation wasn't helped by the fact some Fiends weren't even dressed, having gotten completely naked for the orgy they were presumably going to have. Afton couldn't help but give a morbid chuckle as he began blasting both Lucky and That Gun at them, using VATS to slow down time and target Fiends that could be a threat to the duo.
This strategy clearly worked as the Fiends couldn't even get one shot off at the duo, simply being at their mercy as Karl mowed them down as if he had infinite ammo to use on their corpses. If the duo had any mercy for the Fiends beforehand, they'd lost it when seeing what they planned to do to their captives.
Screams of pain and terror continually came from the Fiends that'd somehow managed to survive, most having hidden under their friend's bodies. Afton could spot a few with his [Living Anatomy] Perk that were trying to play dead. A single bullet to their cranium laid his worries to 'rest' though.
Once they were done and blood was seeping through the floor, into the sand below the building the duo turn their attention towards the naked, and scared hostages.
Afton didn't really want to talk with them, learning of their experiences while trying to reassure them that neither was going to harm the would take a lot of mental effort on his part. Best just to leave it to Karl who was probably more experienced on that front. "I've got the door." he states, taking up a position where he was ready to destroy any intruders.
*Bang!*... *Bang!*
Afton's ears perked at the sound of Boone's hunting rifle firing off in the distance. The Fiends who were presumably about to storm into the building would have to find cover to stop getting sniped. He doubted any Fiend was a good enough marksman to one, locate Boone, and two, out-snipe him.
They'd either need to charge his position, leaving Karl and Afton a good opportunity to escape with the hostages. Or wait out the assault, the Fiends would probably try to send someone to get reinforcements to take out the sniper, but Boone wouldn't allow anyone to leave the Rock Crushing Plant, destroying those plans.
...
They'd been holed up in the building for around half an hour now, and Karl was slowly breaking through the barrier put up by the unfortunate people that'd been held here. Afton himself had tried to heal the woman who was being beaten earlier, only to find that she'd passed away.
The only thing harder than discovering that he was too late, was the fact that one of the young girls in the crowd was the daughter of this woman, sobbing over the corpse.
Afton glances over to Karl and spots that he's still speaking to some people. He sighs to himself before kneeling down next to the grieving girl, "Why're you crying?" he asks, feeling his Speech Skill kick in...
"M-my moms dead!" she says loudly in between sobs.
Afton nods, and gingerly pats her back, "Yeah, but she didn't die for nothing, right? She tried her best to save you, and gave me and my friend enough time to stop those evil men before they did something to you."
"It doesn't matter! I want my mom!"
...
"Look, I know how you're feeling right now, I lost my own mother when I was around your age. But this isn't the time to grieve, you need to be strong so we can escape. Once we're out you can cry for as long as you want, now though? Respect your mother's wishes and be strong." he says, not willing to tell the girl her mother was likely trying to escape without her...
The girl slowly nods, wiping her face and trying to stifle her crying. "Do you have anymore family here?"
She nods and points to a heavily injured teenage boy watching them from the larger group, "My big brother."
"Then go to him, he's probably struggling just as much as you are with the loss of your mother. At least you two still have each other, right?"
She nods and slowly walks to him, both hugging each other to find some comfort in this rather dire situation.
Karl finishes speaking with the group and walks over to Afton, "Some of 'em have been here a while, other's have just arrived... All of the will need some serious help after this, form what I heard about the men we killed, I don't feel anything for their deaths apart from satisfaction." he states.
Afton nods, "When do you think we can make our move? Killing Nephi is important, but getting these people to safety tops that."
Karl shrugs, "I don't know, but-"
*Thud, Thud!*
They both turn towards where the sound had come from and notice it had been something thrown against the wall the hostages were currently gathered at. Both their eyes widen at the possibilities, but just before they can yell for them to run, a huge explosion occurs.
Afton's eyes widen as he sees the young girl and her brother both get liquified by the explosion, their blood, guts, and bones all exploding in a red mist. Killing them instantly.
The other hostages don't fare any better as all who weren't instantly killed by the explosion are seriously injured, crippled, or unconscious.
That's not the worst of it, the two had managed to dodge the wooden shrapnel of the building, but out of the hole, they could spot many, many Fiends all aiming towards it, ready to fire at anyone who tries to escape.
*Creeaaaaaaaaaaak!*
The building beneath their feet begins rumbling, the foundations of it having been destroyed by the explosive. It starts lurching forwards, the Fiends running away as they hadn't expected to bring down the building. Afton scrambles towards the injured captives but is grabbed by Karl, "We don't have time!" he shouts as he pulls Afton towards the metal machinery that's used to crush rocks.
Both climb inside as the building starts collapsing in on itself, crushing the captives that weren't killed by the explosion. Afton and Karl were protected by the metal machinery, but that didn't stop them getting jostled around, their bodies getting painfully flung against the sharp walls.
"Fuuuuuuuuuck!!" both shout, not knowing if they'd survive this shit show.

บท 207: Send off of five fingers
Afton can feel the final lurch as the building completely begins to disintegrate. His body is thrown against the metal insides of the machinery and the world finally goes black.
*CRRAAAASSSHHHHH!*
...
...
...
Eventually, Afton's eyes begin to flutter, an intense pain shoots through his body. He groans in pain as he tries to activate his Pipboy, having to use his nose to press a button as his right arm was held down by something.
As he does, the claustrophobic area he and Karl were trapped within was revealed with amber light. The previously vertical metal machinery had fallen onto its side, he looks at his unconscious companion and notes that he doesn't seem all that injured...
After inspecting Karl, Afton begins looking over himself, once again feeling pain shoot through him as he tries to move his arm. Looking to his side at it, he spots that it's been completely crushed by something. The machinery the two were inside had partially collapsed, almost severing his right arm with the incredibly sharp shards. "Shit."
He didn't know if that was something he could heal, he couldn't even tell if his arm was completely intact as the rubble blocked him from being able to see the rest of it... Whatever its condition, the profuse amount of blood leaking from underneath the metal was worrying.
He wondered if his [Adamantium Skeleton] Perk had failed, but eventually realized that if he could survive tons of metal on a concentrated area then he would be basically unkillable. He gives his arm one last tug and almost faints due to the pain, sure enough, he wasn't moving from this position without a crane to lift the metal.
Fortunately, the metal acted as a make-shift Tourniquet so he wouldn't bleed out... He look down at Karl and gives the man a light kick to the face.
"OOF!" the man looks up at him spitefully, "What the fuck was that f-..." he looks around for a moment before paling, "Oh, we are so fucked."
"Karl, of the two of us, I'd say I got fucked the most in this situation." he momentarily thinks back to the hostages they'd failed to save and sighs, "No, nevermind... We need to get out of here."
Karl spots Afton's arm and shakes his head, "You're not going anywhere trapped like that... Even if we could somehow get out from under all this rubble, there's an army of Fiends waiting outside."
Afton slumps slightly, "So, we're fucked..."
Karl nods, "Yeah. I don't see a way outta this..."
...
...
"I know this isn't a good time to say this, but... Did it really have to be my wankin' hand?" Afton says, pointedly glaring at his crushed right arm.
Karl shrugs, "Must be karma, teaching you a lesson for beating your meat so viciously." he jokes, though, both could tell it was forced. Neither really knew how they were going to get out of this mess. Not to mention they didn't know how long they'd been unconscious for, hopefully Boone had gotten away before the Fiends turned their attention to him... He probably knew how to drive Dirt-Bird, right?
...
The two sit in silence for a couple minutes until Afton gets bored with their eventual impending doom and looks at his Pipboy. He wanted to see if it had anything that could get them out of here... Unfortunately, all it had were his quests, inventory, status that stated his right arm was 'crippled', no shit. And the map which clearly stated they were still in the Rock Crushing Plant.
*Creeeeaak*
The duo's ears perk as they look over to the side where the sound had come from, they hadn't expected anyone to actually come for them for a number of reasons. The first being this was Fiend territory, the second being that they weren't worth all that much, even if you add up the price of their weaponry, you'd get more for salvaging a building.
"Boss, do you really want these bodies so badly? We can just grab some more people off the highway if you want." a quiet voice makes its way through the rubble.
"It's not them I want! I want those two bounty hunters! Put their heads on pikes to show how strong I am!"
...
Karl and Afton look at one another as if trying to decide what to do with their eyes alone. The latter looked down at his right arm and gives it another tug, grimacing in pain as nothing happens. The limb was better attached to the metal crushing it than himself at this point.
He couldn't leave it like this though, their enemy was eventually going to find them, so if he was stuck here and unable to move he was super fucked... This whole situation reminded him of a movie in his old world. It was called '169 hours' or something? The protagonist was stuck and had to cut his arm off to escape...
Afton pales slightly as he looks down at his arm... Could he really do that? It wasn't as if that was the end of the world, cybernetics existed in this universe, and he was sure with maxed out science he could construct something usable... Right?
Still, just thinking about it made his stomach churn. He had never been a squeamish guy, and was fine with committing all kinds of brutal acts on others... But now that he was presented with the choice of death or mutilating his body, it was honestly difficult to say which he would prefer.
"Karl, pass me something to bite on." he states after coming to a decision. The sound of the Fiends digging through the rubble was getting closer and closer, he couldn't delay it any longer.
Karl seemed to know exactly what he was thinking, reaching into his bag and pulling out a clean-looking rag. "You sure about this kid?"
"No. But there's not another way." he says as he secures the rag in his mouth and pulls out his knife.

I know, I know. "How could you do something so horrible!" I can hear you saying, but listen. His masturbating hand had to go, perhaps he'll get a perk so he can use his left... Or maybe not.
I hope you bois liked the chap, if I missed anything please let me know. Thanks!
