บท 209: Rubble, Shotgun, Action!

*Creeaakk*

*CRACK-TUK!*

The pieces of wood blocking the exit to the machinery are unceremoniously torn away, allowing light to flood inside, almost blinding the duo momentarily. Seems like they'd been down here all night, or perhaps for longer...

"Aha! Got it open bois!" a Fiend shouts and sticks his head down to look inside the treasure trove he'd presumably found.

His dirty face immediately pales when he is presented with three barrels, one from Karl's LMG and two from Afton's Sawed-off Shotgun. *BANG!* He isn't even able to utter a scream as buckshot tears his face to pieces, the flesh being rendered away in a fraction of a second, metal pieces piercing their brain and killing them instantly.

[Blind Fire : Shoot the eye's of your enemies : 5/100]

The digging around them stops after Afton had fired his weapon, all presumably looking over to where it'd occurred.

"OI! Lenny! The fuck are you firing a shot off for!" one shouts from the side as Afton struggles to reload his gun... Without his right arm he's forced to hold it in his armpit and shove another buckshot into the empty barrel. Fortunately his [Rapid Reload] Perk still had him looking like a blur of movement, but it wasn't ideal. He'd need to get working on some kind of replacement for his arm eventually.

Once he'd reloaded it Afton pops his head out of the ditch they were in and uses VATS to take a look around without wasting any more time. Around him were piles upon piles of rubble, the large building that'd previously been there had entirely disintegrated, leaving nought by scraps of metal and wooden splinters.

There was also a veritable army of Fiends around them, all of which seemed to be lacking their primary armaments, they probably didn't expect anyone to survive it, let alone still be capable of combat. This was good though, it would allow the duo some breathing room before shit got too nasty too fast.

Taking a closer look around, he could see many piles of rubble that they Fiends had likely been tossing stuff onto, each could potentially make good enough cover for a proper shootout should it come to that. His initial plan of trying to sneak away had gone up in flames when that idiot stuck his head inside the machinery and forced his hand.

Not to mention it was around high-noon and sneaking around at this time in broad daylight would be impossible. He glances at the slumped over the body that was currently missing its head and sighs, well, at least he might be able to do something with this fool.

Deactivating VATS he ducks into the shadow of the small trench and shifts the corpse out, making sure it's headlessness was revealed to all before slipping back into the safety of the inside of the machinery Karl was still within.

It doesn't take long for someone to notice the state of their buddy, "H-HOLY SHIT! LENNY'S LOST HIS HEAD!"

"What!? He's crazy but not that-OH BABY JESUS!"

Quickly upon hearing the exclamations people start gathering around the body to inspect and see what'd happened. Even now the possibility of someone still being alive under all the rubble doesn't cross their minds. Instead, most think that one of the traps they'd set before the building imploded had been set off by him.

Of course, the Fiends that hadn't known about the booby traps that might still be active were rightfully angry about not being told, as they were literally risking their lives by digging.

As soon as the group had descended into arguments, Afton pulls something from his Deathclaw leather bag, a plasma grenade he'd previously repaired with his [Mechanicus] Perk. He smirks at Karl and bites onto the pin before tossing it out of the hole towards the group, retreating back into the makeshift metal bunker.

"Wha-"

*BOOOOM!*

The ground shakes and shudders as plasma spews forth from the explosive, liquifying those close to it and horribly burning everyone else. The few people who were lucky enough to not be caught in the blast were presented with the sight of their friend's bodies imploding in a spectacularly gory fashion.

Afton hadn't even known the explosion would be so powerful, he'd forgotten that his [Uncivilised Weapon] Perk affected ALL Energy weapons, doubling the damage the plasma grenade did!

With that Afton dashes from his hiding spot, his [Masterful Movement] Perk and 10 Agility making him look like a blur of movement as he gracefully flips out of it. Firing off both shots of his Sawed-off Shotgun at some nearby Fiends, the buckshot not killing them but wounding them enough to put them out of the fight for a while.

[John Wick Style is in effect]

Activating VATS he scans the area, grimacing at the glowing green residue left behind by the 'too powerful' grenade he had thrown, the only other colour being present in the blast zone being the crimson red of his enemies liquified bodies.

Shaking his head, his eyes lock onto a pile of rubble that was large enough to be used for cover, turning off VATS and heading towards it.

Karl follows somewhat closely behind the younger man, he wasn't agile enough to make the same movements as Afton, but he made up for it by spraying his LMG at anything that looked even vaguely humanoid.

*DAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAG!*

If the Fiends were unaware of their presence before, they certainly were now! The combination of the explosion and subsequent gunfire had attracted the attention of all those in the region within earshot. This was good and bad, good as if Boone was still around he'd know they were still alive, and bad because most of the people around aren't likely to be their allies.

Afton growls as he tucks the shotgun in his armpit again to reload, vowing to himself to rebuild an arm as soon as possible. Once loaded he puts the weapon back into its holster on his bandoleer, it's range was far too limited now so he'd be better off using his pistols...

Ya, all Energy Weaponsa are upgraded by [Uncivilised Weapons]... That would also include nuclear bombs... So, let's hope out boi doesn't discover any large ones.

Hope you bois liked the chap, if I missed anything please let me know.

บท 210: Reinforcements?

Truth be told, the reason he hadn't started the fight with his pistols was due to how difficult it would be to reload them without his right hand... Regardless, once he was out of shots for his ballistic weapons he'd swap to his backup plasma pistol.

*BANGBANGBANG!*

Dust is kicked up around them as Karl finally throws himself behind cover. "Fuck! That was close!"

Afton nods, "We need to take out as many as possible before we can disengage and retreat." he states, both already knowing it but Afton feeling the need to say it.

"Fine by me, think of it as revenge for those lost souls those bastards ended last night." Karl says while raising his weapon and firing over some rubble, sprays of red indicating that he had indeed hit something.

Afton had his focus elsewhere though, they may be somewhat protected behind this cover for now, but who's to say more Fiends wouldn't come from behind them.

His ears twitch as some rubble is shifted on the other side of their makeshift cover, a Fiend sprinting out while raising their weapon towards him and Karl. Afton had already locked onto them though, firing off one clean shot with That Gun and putting them out of commission with another eye-socket.

*Clink!*

Afton almost instantly activates VATS at the familiar sound and turns towards it, noticing a frag grenade in between him and Karl. His companion's eyes were almost comically wide as he stares down at it, looking as if he was about to reach for it and toss it back.

Afton liked the idea and stopped VATS while quickly grabbing the grenade, his sunlight enhanced strength allowing him to bowl it towards the group of Fiend currently shooting at them like a professional baseball player.

*BOOM!*

Both weren't aware if they'd managed to kill anyone with the grenade or not, but a severed arm flying by their position definitely gave a good case for it.

"HAHA! Have you got any more grenades for us to throw at you? You stupid bastards!" Afton mocks, snickering to himself as dust kicks up around them at a greater rate, clearly his taunt had an effect.

Karl pats his arm without looking at him, "Kid, we got a problem." he says, staring straight at a large group of Fiends off in the distance. The enemy could clearly see the duo as well as the direction they were coming from completely invalidated their cover.

"Fuck." Afton growls, turning to look for a better place to hide but not spotting anywhere all that good... There were a few boulders large enough to hide behind, but if they went there they'd be locked down and unable to move, sitting ducks at the Fiends mercy.

He uses VATS to stop time and thinks over a few plans, discarding most as being unviable or unlikely to succeed... Eventually his thoughts drift to what he currently has in his possession... Yes, that could work." A sadistic grin forms on his face as he turns off VATS.

He holsters his gun and thrusts his hand into some rubble, digging out a small crevice to hide something... He reaches into his bag and pulls out a small device... Karl pales upon seeing it and sends him a wary look.

"You sure about this?"

Afton nods, "If it fails then we'll go out in a flash of glory, you know, instead of being tortured to death by dirty chem addicts."

Karl shrugs, "Fine."

Afton quickly sets his trap and Karl hands him his LMG, Afton using his 10 Strength to fire it with one hand with some difficulty. He covers Karl as the man retreats to a boulder a good distance away, the reinforcing group of Fiends already firing at them both with bloodthirsty looks.

He continues to apply suppressing fire with the LMG until a *Click!* indicates that it was out of ammo. He'd be attempted to try fire his Anti-Material rifle with one hand if he didn't already know how much damage it'd cause to him... It wasn't an impossibility to lose his other arm from th sheer recoil of the thing.

With the LMG out of ammo he starts sprinting towards where Karl was currently hidden, shots kicking up dust around him as he does his best to apply evasive manoeuvres. Flips, ducking, and other parkour tricks allow him to weather most of it... Most of it.

He'd been shot a couple times in the back for his troubles, but his recon armour proves its value once again by protecting most of his vitals. Blood darkens the leather as he runs but he ignores it, the pain not even being a fraction of what cutting his arm had felt like... Not mentioning the fact that the pain killer he'd previously used were still running through his system.

With a groan his jumps high over the boulder Karl was hiding behind, slumping against it while blood trickled to the floor below him. He pushes the LMG back into his friend's hand with a grunt, "Go on, get firing... Fuck." he mutters, slowly receiving the pleasant feeling of the sunlight on his face, the rays slowly healing his wounds. Pushing bullets and other pieces of lead out of his body so other natural processes could take over.

Afton takes a glance over the boulder and grimaces at the sheer numbers the Fiends had gathered. There was at least two hundred of them streaming towards their position, mongrels that'd presumably been bred by Violet gnashing their teeth as their owners held onto them for now.

Suddenly, a red flare flies overhead from behind the. Afton spins around but sighs in relief as he spots some NCR soldiers taking up position nearby, the familiar figure of Boone taking up a high position, giving a small wave at him to show that he had indeed noticed him.

The only problem was, the NCR soldiers didn't even make up a fraction of the Fiends forces, so what their plan was is anyone's guess... If all else fails, Afton would gladly use the trap he'd set, he just didn't know what would happen once he did. Was there even a Geneva convention anymore?
