Mojave Hellhole

All of the soldiers around turned their attention away from Rob and to their fallen comrade, Rob took this to his advantage and drove a knife into the closest soldier's chest, and before his friends could react, another shot went off, a head exploding, coating Rob and everyone near him with blood, soon the whole militia was looking for cover, Rob upholstered his revolvers and began shooting his way to the main building.

He wondered who the hell had killed those soldiers, possibly Dom or Avery, he kicked open the front door of the building and opened fire, his first of twelve rounds hitting a militia member neck while he was making his way down the stairs, second round blowing the top off a man's head, third round striking a man in the chest, as Rob was about to fire his fourth, he felt a all too familiar pain. He had been shot.
 
After witnessing the recent battle, Lupo got down the balcony using the ladders and followed Rob into the base, he soon lost him though in the ensuing chaos and was suddenly attacked by a lone survivor who was bleeding out. Lupo looked down at the pathetic sight as the soldier grabbed onto Lupo's legs, hoping for forgiveness. Lupo felt no pity as he stared at the soldier through his red lens, and taking his desert eagle out; he gave the soldier a quick death and gave his respect: "Rest in peace". He then finally caught up with Rob and seen the fighter stumbling, all too well clutching his right shoulder from where he had been shot. Lupo ran over to Rob and saw the soldier who had shot him flee into the next room. Lupo didn't have time for cowardice, Rob was the first priority. Thoguh he hadn't much experience in first aid, he took a stimpak and injected it into Rob whilst giving some Med-x to nullify the pain. Pressuring the bullet out, he wrapped a bandage aroung Rob's shoulder and hoped this would help.
 
Luckily his shooting shoulder hadn't been hit, this seemed to be person who had sniping from a distance, Rob would have thanked him but now wasn't the time, he spotted his would-be killer go to the next room, the pair went in his new found ally in front, Rob saw his shooter rush quickly up the stairs though Rob's bullet was faster, the round struck him in the spine making him spasm violently before the corpse rolled down the stairs, one of the dead soldier's near the doorway had a a belt of grenades, it would come in handy for later.

They made their way up the main stair case killing militia members along the way, when they had reached the top they were met heavily armoured guards armed with high power weapons. This was going to get interesting.
 
Lupo had allied himself with the new allie known as Rob, though for what reasons he came here in the first place was for were unkown. Nevertheless, after entering the room with these deadly looking enemies, Lupo stayed calm and relaxed; focusing on his enemies. He had faced situations like this before, but this one seemed much more challenging. For a minute, there was only silence as these brutes stared at Rob and Lupo with disconcerning smirks. Then all of a sudden, Lupo whipped out his pistol and shot the closest one in the head. Another shot a grenade at Lupo but he shot it in midair blowing it's releaser into smithereens. There were three more left, Rob had ran to cover and fired upon the troopers when he witnessed a rocket blowing up behind Lupo. The shrapnel cut Lupo's legs and left him unbalanced, then he collapsed in pain.
 
Rob was about to run out to help his friend but stopped when Light machine gun went off where he would have been, Rob could hear the laughter of the brutes getting closer, but they didn't know about the grenades he had.

One of the guards named 'Fist' shouted at the attacker "Hey asshole, come out, we won't hurt ya!"

his friends roared with laughter, as Fist drew closer, the guy threw something at his head

"You fuckin' prick! I'll skin you ali-" Fist had noticed that it was a grenade

Rob was knocked over by blast of the grenade, the old wooden floor beneath the brutes was destroyed, all of them dead and alive fell, smashing though every floor of the building before finally hitting the hard concrete bottom. Rob then rushed to his friend's side, injecting Med-X into his wounds to numb the pain, after he had recovered they made their way to the main room.
 
Lupo, feeling better, was astounded at the blast, and smirked under his helmet. After reaching the main room, there were soldiers littering the place as they readied their guns towards these two threats. Making his way through the crowd, the one that looked like the leader approached and grinned with the fact that he had his enemies trapped. He walked forward to Lupo and punched him in the ribs 3 times. Something about the look the boss gave Lupo gave Rob the notion that these two had met before. The boss walked back as Lupo flipped him the finger. The boss simply gave a long cackle, and told his men to put down their weapons: "Don't worry boys, I've got 'em right where I want them. They're stuck in the gap to hell." Lupo gave a glance at Rob, and immediately saw that Rob had an idea. Possibly a good one.
 
This was one of the most strangest plans Rob had ever thought of, but when you're surrounded by a room of weapons pointed at you you have to try anything, He turned towards his friend and began punching him, one of the guards was about to break it up when Rob suddenly kicked him in the groin, took his rifle and smacked him in the jaw with it, Rob passed the rifle to his friend and got into cover, his companion had a look of confusion on his face, Rob began blind firing at the enemy, Lupo got back into action shooting the rifle, they began to move up, efficiently clearing the room, Rob targeted the leader, he pointed his revolver and shot. The leader was quick, he pulled one of his guards in front of him, six rounds went directly into the guards chest, Rob reloaded and began chasing the leader, Lupo followed behind.
 
Lupo quickly understood after a brief moment of confusion. He then followed his friend and chased after the leader. After chasing him to the roof, Lupo grabbed Rob back before he advanced and asked him a question.
" I need to tell you something, this guy: his name's Robert, and he was the one that murdered my mom in cold blood. And I know what his plan is right now, he may have us thinking we've got him but the truth is he'll have had the roof covered with mines in advance. He knew there would be a plan and he knew that we would chase him. As he said, he's got us in the gap of hell. We need to be cautious, and I don't care who kills him, as long as we live and justice is served."
 
His name's Robert, just like himself, ain't that funny Rob thought to himself, they got on to the roof careful to avoid mines, their only option was to get past them without setting them off, Rob went first thankfully he got past without incident, Rob told Lupo to stay and watch for any reinforcements, weapon in hand Rob rounded a corner of another roof entrance, he was hit straight in the face with a lead pipe and before Rob could get up there was another strike to his ribcage, Robert held Rob by the throat and dangled his feet of the ledge

"Why are you doing this?"

Robert chuckled to himself and began to loosen his grip. A extremely loud noise went off, Robert was hit by a 50. calibur round, his body flew off the edge and on to the street below.
 
Lupo walked over to Rob, with careful precision as he passed the mines. He looked down at the street and spat with disgust and said: "Rest in peace bastardo". He helped Rob up, and they carefully made their way back to the main room, whereas Lupo then asked Rob: "what was your mission here? Did you have a mission? I'm sure there were other guys who had accompanied you. Still, the atmosphere's become clearer now that justice has been paid. I'm not much of a talker, but today feels special. The wasteland's a bit safer at least." With that said, while waiting for an answer or two, Lupo paced a bit and traced his fingers over the badges on his shoulders. They weren't bears like the NCR, but rather they were wolves and eagles. Rob wondered what was up with that.
 
Rob looked at the dead body in the middle of the street, most of the bones had been shattered, Rob was somewhat fascinated by the badges on his shoulder, As Lupo was about to turn around Rob asked:

"You seemed to know him, had a history with him, do know why he attacked Vegas?"
 
Lupo hesitated before answering, but he had the feeling that Rob was one person he could trust.
"I certainly had a history. He murdered my mother when she enlisted me into the army. We were walking through the wastes to McCarran, when he was there with his goons. He shot her in the back, and she didn't move. He spared me and spat on my face, and the incident scarred me for life. The NCR were my only family after that..." These badges, they represent my name. It means wolf eagle, meant to represent strength, courage and intellect for some reason..."
 
"I need to why he attacked Vegas" Lupo didn't seem to know why, Rob left him while he stared at his mother's killer, Rob had made it out of Westside, he removed his looted leather armour and put on his kevlar vest and duster, in the distance there seemed to be NCR securing the area, Rob could still hear gunfire at the Strip, there would probably be some more militia members there.
 
Lupo stopped his mourning and walked over to Rob.
"I couldn't tell you why he attacked Vegas, but I can tell you that he would've loved domination. You could see it in his eyes. He was crazy for power. Now he's probably had the whole militia worked up with his death. He had a tracker on his body, they know he's dead, funnily enough; they don't know who killed him." Lupo started walking to Vegas, then stopped and turned his head to Rob.
"Oh, by the way: my mission was to protect you. My personal reasons? Finding the truth." Then he carried on walking towards Vegas. If help was available, then he'd accept it.
 
Rob was shocked that someone had hired Lupo to protect him

"Lupo, who hired you to protect me?"

Lupo just chuckled to himself and carried on walking, once they had made it to the Strip, it looked as if the NCR was clearing up the mess the Anti-NCR Movement had made, some NCR soldiers dragging away hand-cuffed militia members, tending to the wounded, and picking up sandbags. It was only 3:00 PM, Rob had plenty of time to learn about his friend Lupo, Rob invited him to a table in the Aces theatre at the Tops.
 
Though Lupo wasn't a keen gambler, he did have a nack for luck. And he was a sweetheart with the ladies. Rob was incredibly interested with Lupo and wanted to ask a lot of questions. Lupo lost a few bouts then glanced at Rob.
"Before you ask questions, the person who hired me? Well I could keep it all a secret, and keep you in tension. But I know a fair amount about you, though I would like to know more. It's a fair trade right? Info for info. First things first, my contact doesn't have a name that I know of. Or rather, he didn't tell me, I did,kt see his face either. He was hiding himself, a 'lil weird if you ask me, cuase he was hiding in a dumpster. He had guards as well. He only told me to protect 'you' so I've been following for quite a while, and decided to take action at the base. This moment was too perfect: the caps were large, Robert was killed and also, I found a new ally. So how about you? What are your plans then?" Lupo was hard to read, as all his emotions were covered by a helmet, which he never seemed to take off. Some people would've though him as a freak, but the truth was that the helmet hid his depression.
 
"Plans?"

Rob laughed to himself

"Usually, I just go where the wind takes me, I earn my share as a Bounty Hunter, I think I'll set off next month"

"Where?"

"I'll write North, South, East, and West on a piece of paper and spin a bottle on it and where ever it points, I shall go, though my past is more interesting than my present"
 
Lupo chuckled, then lost some more caps on the aces and gave up and decided get a drink.
"Want one?"
"Sure,"
"So what's your past like? My contact told me of the recent kill at the Gomorrah courtyard. Heard you met an assailant there."
Lupo popped the cap off his drink,then looked at it. He got a straw and sucked the beer right out of it. Gamblers gave him some weird looks but Lupo just ignored them as he drank through the vent of his helmet.
 
Pawnsy walked around the strip,every step looking like he was about to fall over. He continued walking to the Tops,it was the only other casino he could go to as the Lucky 38 was filled with NCR fucks and the Ultra-Luxe served Brahmin as a specialty. "Welcome to the tops baby-" Pawnsy knew the routine,he tossed his holster at the greeter and took a seat at the bar in the theater "Give me 50 drinks" He plopped a Legion Aureus onto the table,the bartender didn't lift a finger "Bit early to be drinking don't you think?" Pawnsy grunted "Give me them tonight then" He held his head up and grinned showing his few jagged teeth "Remember this face" he mumbled out still grinning "If you can't remember the face then remember I gave you the fucking gold coin,they don't make coins like that anymore,Legion were the last smart bastards to use them" Pawnsy walked over to a seat to rest his head,the shows didn't start until later tonight so the theater was empty save a few random people,Pawnsy himself just rested his head and started mumbling about Midas.
 
Lupo quickly glanced at the new arrival, an interesting person by all sorts. He then looked at Rob, he had fell asleep before answering any questions. Lupo decided to jolt him awake, but was thinking he should let the guy rest. He was certainly interested about the new guy; maybe Rob had met him before? Rob certainly seemed to attract all people. Nevertheless, Lupo walked over to the table where Pawnsy was sat at.
