บท 615: Mojave meet up
Afton looks through the Vertibird door at the adjacent vehicle flying next to him. Miles was currently piloting the newly created 'Dirt-Wing' with his girlfriend Melissa, they were carrying Afton, Veronica, and Christine to their drop off point on the Dam while the rest of the army was making their way on foot.
The Vertibird across from them was piloted by the Enclave Remnants, Orion in particular. To be honest, Afton was very surprised to see people wearing 'their' emblem seeking to assist him in attacking the NCR. Needless to say, he'd easily accepted(After checking they weren't spies of anything of the sort).
Of course, Orion's piloting was a bit rusty, partly due to time, and partly due to the fact that piloting was given to Daisy, who of course was now resting in peace. There were three other people in their Vertibird waiting for the action to start.
One who went by the name 'Cannibal Johnson', who, as it turns out wasn't actually a cannibal. Another who Tamia apparently knew named Dr Henry. It was quite fortunate Tamia and him by association had helped out with Jacobstown. Afton got the feeling the man wouldn't be as willing to fight with them if he had no prior history.
Last but certainly not least was Arcade Gannon, that doctor Tamia had picked up and was now running Novac as the mayor... Once the man had spotted the three Remnants in their Vertibird and wearing Power armour, he'd jumped at the chance to retrieve his father's armour to join them.
And yes... Afton was almost drooling over the armour each wore... Arcade's in particular due to its rather flashy modifications, that made it far more effective when used in conjunction with energy weapons. But, he'd ask about analysing it after the battle was over.
There had been another member of the Remnants aside from Daisy of course, but the group hadn't found hide nor hair of the man. Considering the fact they'd managed to find Cannibal Johnson, a man who'd apparently been squatting in a cave waiting to die, Afton thought that it was likely their missing friend was dead.
To be honest, Afton wasn't really sure what to think of these elite, if frail, Enclave soldiers being dropped in his lap. Either someone really wanted the NCR to lose, or his [Protagonist] Perk was finally kicking in.
Soon enough Afton spots the Dam as the fly over a large hill. Thick plumes of black smoke were rising from various points, and he could see the tidal wave of red clashing with the green defenders... It seemed like the NCR wouldn't last much longer if left to their own devices... A route was imminent judging by how pale and scared the Troopers looked.
Afton had made sure to come to the battle late, just to make sure both forces had whittled themselves down sufficiently. He fully intended to force both factions off of the Dam in the end, so letting the two sides tire themselves out would help tremendously in that effort.
A shadow in the sky did draw the group's attention, however, that Bomber Tamia had assisted the Boomers in recovering had apparently been repaired enough for flight... Surprising, but not tremendously so... After all, he had a couple of his own Bombers being constructed, all of which were far more technologically advanced than the scrap-heap that was dropping bombs on the Legion right now.
"Miles, bring us to the floor, it seems like our other friends got here before us." Afton commands, gesturing down at the huge group of Securitrons slowly rolling towards the Dam. He could see Colonel Moore running to intercept them, but luckily no weapons had been discharged yet. "Melissa, man the turret. Do some flyby's to thin the Legion's numbers if it seems like they're about to overrun the place." he states as he hops out of the Vertibird... Which just so happened to still be a few hundred feet over the ground.
*CRAAASH!*
The ground rumbled as the armoured individual hit the ground, causing a couple NCR troopers to stumble or fall over. Colonel Moore held her ground with some assistance from a single salvaged Power armour wearing trooper that'd been assigned to her.
Obviously, she knew who this was, and she knew there'd be no point in trying to antagonize him... Especially since what seemed to be a heavily armed army of Securitrons were headed their way. Either she recruited Afton to the NCR's side, or the Dam would find a new owner...
Afton and the others hop out of their Vertibirds, Orion and Dr Henry staying in their own Vertibird to provide air support alongside Miles and Melissa.
Ignores Colonel Moore for now and instead strides towards the three people leading the Securitrons. "I remember you." he growls in a low tone while taking his helmet off, remembering all the Novac guards these fucking mercenaries had killed during their attack.
Drake spits on the floor in response, walking up to Afton and poking a finger at his breastplate. "And I remember you! You owe me a gun you fuckin' shit!"
Afton scowls, "I owe you a gun huh? Sure, how would you like it? Jammed down your throat, or shoved up your ass?"
"Ha! You think you're tough just because you're wearing that armour? Take it off and I'll show you how a real man fights... I bet that title 'Fastest shot in the Mojave' isn't just for your shooting. Look, there's two thing's you're good at! Disappointing in a fight, and disappointing in be-Guhk!" he's cut off as Afton grabs his throat and lifts him off of the ground with a single arm. He thrashes around for a couple seconds, attempting to dislodge himself, but obviously has no such success.
Madeleine and Hunter draw their weapons in response to the sudden aggression shown by Afton, Drake glances behind him at the Securitrons, hoping they'd help out as well... Only to see none try to intervene... Instead, one of them rolls forwards with its screen flashing to Mr House's face... Seems like the boss had something to say...

บท 616: Shown-Down
"House." Afton states as he observes the robot approach... Their 'face to face' meeting should have been far more amiable, were it not for the fact that he'd hired Bulwark enemies as mercenaries...
"Parker... You've been well I hope?" he politely replies.
...
The two just stare at one another for a couple seconds, all the while ignoring the still thrashing Drake in Afton's hand. The man even tries to reach for his revolver but finds himself restrained when Afton's plant arm sprouts thick vines that bind him.
...
"Er, guys? Don't we have a war to fight... Or something?" Veronica mutters from the side, not sure what was going on between the two.
Afton nods, "Yeah... But first, I want to know what you intend to do with this lot." he shakes Drake's body for emphasis.
"I intend to use them like the tools I paid for. It's hard to find water in the desert, the same applies to talent. Had someone not eaten up all the good seeds-" the robot turns slightly towards Aftons' group, "I wouldn't have had to resort to mercenaries. Alas, this was all that was available to me at the time, at least, all that had the skillset required... I'm sure once they prove their worth you could forgive any infractions they've made against you?"
Afton chuckles and shakes his head, "They killed many of my people, House. Not to mention their ties with 'Them'... I'd say I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them, but..." he takes a hard look at Drake, "I don't think that statement would hold any weight."
"Then what would you have me do? We're rather low on time, and I'd rather not miss our opportunity to rid the Mojave of those barbaric morons." House states, not 'lying' per se, but not exactly being forthcoming... Especially with Colonel Moore watching from the sideline.
Afton drops Drake and gestures towards the trio, "I want them to pay for their crimes... But, I understand executing people still in your employ wouldn't look good. So, I'll buy their contracts from you... How about that?"
"W-wait! You can't do tha-" Madeleine attempts to say but is cut off by House.
"Agreed." he states, the Securitron turning to them slightly, "If they wished to object, then they should have read the contract they signed beforehand."
Upon hearing this the trio all look panicked, Drake paling once he realises that Afton now owns him in a sense.
Afton gives them a toothy smile, "Don't worry guys, you'll be in 'safe' hands. I promise none of you will die until your contract ends in... When will it end?"
"Three months." House says.
"Three months." Afton conforms.
"Can someone explain what's happening now?" Colonel Moore approaches, turning her radio off as the sounds of bloodcurdling screams, begging for mercy, and death wails ring out through it.
Afton nods and puts his helmet back on, "It's your lucky day Colonel. We've come to rid the Legion from the Dam... Free of charge of course!" he happily says.
...
"Really?" she almost exclaims, remembering the various files stating every way the NCR had attacked Bulwark up until now... Only then remembering that House had been acting suspiciously as of late. She's about to continue questioning them when her radio bursts back to life...
"AAHHHHHHRGGHH! PLEASE STOP! I HAVE A WIFE AND-*SLASH!*"
"RETREAT! THEY'VE TAKEN THE EASTERN PART OF THE DAM! FALL BA-AARGH!"
...
"You'll get rid of those slaver bastards?" Colonel Moore asks once again, with Afton and the rest of his group nodding their heads. "Alright. Just don't try any funny business!" she says, giving them all a free pass.
Afton grins under his helmet and twirls around, pointing at Drake who can't help but flinch in response. "You three! Secure the interior of the Dam and set up an ambush for any Legionary who tries to get inside!"
"W-wait! I thought I said-"
*Ruuuummmbble!!*
The Dam shakes from a sudden explosion, the cause of which seemed to be below their feet inside the Dam itself. Afton just shrugs and ignores her, restating his orders and sending the mercenaries inside to install Mr House's virus.
"The rest of you! Follow my lead!" he commands the Securitrons, leaving his companions to sort themselves out as he begins marching towards the battlefield.
The NCR artillery was still peppering Legion forces that hadn't quite reached the Dam yet, and the two Vertibirds were already flying beside the Dam and firing their weapons at the Legionaries.
The Enclave Vertibird was only outfitted with the typical Minigun... Which made Afton slightly proud to say his tech now easily dwarfed whatever the Enclave had... At least, they did when compared to the Navarro base.
Dirt-Wing was actually outfitted with two turrets... One was a larger tesla rifle, similar to what protected Novac, while the other was an upgraded Gatling laser, which shot out green beams and was far more powerful than any other laser weapon the world had access to.
The Legionaries were confused and horrified when the green beams started assaulting the ranks, each direct hit turning a prominent portion of someone's body to ash. The fate was worse if they managed to survive it as well, as anything not directly hit essentially received horrific burns... Not enough to destroy their pain receptors, but enough to cause debilitating pain. Even nonlethal hits would undoubtedly render someone unconscious or unable to fight.
Afton notices a commotion starting to erupt in the nearby NCR soldiers, but this wasn't caused by him, his companions, and the army of Securitrons... The commotion was due to the fact his army had finally arrived... A couple thousand Ultimo-Bots were now visibly marching over the nearby mountain, following by a sea of Cyberdogs, as well as a few Deathclaws which were led by Gabe.
Needless to say, his army and the Securitrons combined could easily wipe out the Legion... But, he'd have them approach slowly so more of the NCR could be eliminated first... Wouldn't want to give them a chance after all.
