New Vegas: Blood Ties

Pawnsy fired randomly into the growing mass of scorpions each shot leaving tiny holes in their carapaces where the pellets hit. He reloaded his next shot with slugs hoping it would hit them, let alone hurt them. He squeezed the trigger,as both shots rang out it hit one right in the eyes leaving 2 bloody slug sized holes where the eyes once were, Pawnsy kissed his shotgun and continued firing.
 
Jacob looked down the sights of his recharger rifle and let loose a barrage of lasers towards the scorpions. He managed to take down one of the smaller ones and reduce it to ash, which was quickly trampled over by the advancing scorpions. He kept firing and managed to cripple some of the legs on the left side of a scorpion, blowing one completely off.

Meanwhile, GU-DR was advancing towards the scorpions, shouting obscenities at them the whole time. Once several scorpions changed course for the robot it opened up it's flamer and proceeded to do everything in it's power to make this a barbeque. Once they got too close it would back off and let loose more fire.
 
Brad turned and saw a dog running away from a giant rapscorpion. And it wasn't just a dog, it was a pup. A pup just like the one he had at red rock. He'd always had a love for animals (perk) dogs especially. So he was devistated when it died on a black mountain raid, killed by a nightkin. In fact, that raid was the reason that he trained himself to notice stealthboy useage. He couldn't let it happen again.

He pulled out his pistol. He mustered some strength and held his rifle in one hand and his pistol in the other. He let loose a barrage of bullets on the scorpion's legs. The pup Had managed to make some distance, but Brad didn't care. He did a quick reload for both guns and continued fireing, this time aiming for the eyes. He ran toward the scorpion and continued firing until it stopped moving. He slumped down and reloaded. He'd used a considerable amount of ammo, but the pup was safe.

The scorpion had broken off from the pack to get the dog, so Brad was safe resting. A couple minutes later, the pup carefully approached Brad, looking scared.

"Come on little buddy, I won't bite. Or sting."

He picked it up and started walking back to the group. He smiled.

"I'll call you Sarge."
 
Yasmin, perched on top of a rock now to get a better view, watched in disbelief as Brad risked his life for a puppy. Another scorpion came charging at him and she fired at its legs and eyes, slowing it down and half blinding it.

"Brad, open your fucking eyes!" she roared at him as it kept on coming after him. She was too flurried to be able to pick a killing shot, so she kept disabling it more, hoping he'd realise they were still fighting for their lives long enough to save his own.
 
Brad came back to his senses. Looks like he fucked up again.

"Sorry about this."

He put Sarge in his bag and zipped it up. He shot the scorpion in the eyes a couple times, blinding it. It began to awkwardly stumble around.

"Sorry 'bout that Yas!"
 
Tom slid the bolt back again, and again, and again, Tom had missed going against a foe this large and fearsome, and had not seen anything of this concentration since Denver. By Tom's count he had killed two giant radscorpions and a few of the little ones. He laughed as a radscorpion he shot in the back exploded from the velocity of the bullet.
 
Scythe changed the clip in his assault rifle, continuing his barrage into the giant radscorpion. It lunged at him again so he jumped back. Not realizing how close to the edge he was, Scythe heels protruded over the ledge and he almost lost his balance, falling back to his death. The scorpion had cut him off, there was no room for him to run. Scythe weighed his options, then decided on a course of action.

"Fuck it."

Scythe then ran forward, head on towards the scorpion. Then at the last possible second he slid across the rocks, sliding underneath one of the scorpions claws. This allowed him to get behind it. Scythe quickly pulled up his assault rifle and unloaded full auto in the bug, emptying the entire clip. Each string of bullets forced the creature to stumble further and further back. Finally the rifle clicked dry, so Scythe tossed it behind him and charged forward. with a grunt, he kicked the scorpion square in the face with just enough force to send it tumbling over the side of the cliff.

"Heads up down there!" he yelled as the still alive beast fell to its inevitable death.
 
Nevest was just now entering the fray, carefully delivering beams to the various scorpions that were attacking his allies. Although not killing or significantly injuring any of the giants, the heat of the laser undoubtedly softened the radscorpions' shells for other to take advantage of. Other, smaller scorpions, collapsed of course, and Nevest had begun backpedaling and slashing at these smaller scorpion kin with his machete.
 
Tom had noticed one of the giant radscorpions that encircled Nevest squeal at the heat of the laser, bubbling it's hard carapace armour. Tom took the chance, delivering a round straight into the shell where it's brain should be. The giant radscorpion went down like a sack of potatoes, he called out to the steeler, "Oi, Nevest, how's about you heat up the shells' of the big 'uns, i'll finish 'em off".
 
Nevest complied with Tom's suggestion, stabbing his machete into the ground to plant it and taking a knee to steady his aim. He rapidly pulled the laser pistol's trigger three times while aiming at a giant radscorpion, shifting his direction to any others and firing off more, 3-shot bursts.
 
Jacob noticed how Tom and Nevest were taking down the scorpions, and decided to try it himself. He slung his rifle across his back and pulled out his plasma pistol and his 10mm sub-machine gun. A scorpion charged at him, and he started off with the pistol, shooting at it thrice before the carapace melted away enough, and then let loose a volley of bullets from his 10mm. The scorpion fell to his attack, though it left Jacob winded. For the time being no more scorpions were going after him, so he took aim at one of the giant ones and let loose on it with his pistol.

GU-DR charged back into the battle, and three smaller scorpions lay dead and burning behind it. It also observed the tactic of Nevest and Tom, and opened fire with it's plasma gun to try and weaken another scorpion for someone to take down.
 
The plan Nevest and Tom was utilising was flawless, both of them together had know taken out two giant radscorpions, the group of radscorpions was starting to weaken.
 
Carib crushed one weakened bark scorpion beneath his booted heel. The greenish cuts squished out. Looking at the still intact tail, he cut the gland out and put in a small pouch.

Carib looked at Brad go for the Puppy. It wasn't tactically sound, but the Ex-Ranger knew he had done dumber things. He smiled beneath the mask and went to his work to kill the rest of the straggling rad scorpions.
 
Brad pulled out his Combat Knife and stabbed at the holes the bullets left in the now blind scorpion's face. He kept stabbing until he hit brain. The scorpion made one last lunge and got Brad in the chest with a sting. The scorpion then fell over, dead. Brad was now feeling nauseous. He stumbled back to the group.

"Anybody got a spare antivenom?"
 
Tom heard Brad shout out, and had also noticed out of the corner of his eye the poison gland Carib had stowed away, he jogged over to Carib and addressed him, "I need that poison gland! Hopefully, that ghoul will have some Night Stalker blood, it's a shot in the dark with the ghoul, but I know how to make antivenom".

He shouted in the the air, "Hey Pawnsy, can I check you Brahmin for some night stalker blood, hoping you'll have some, dunno' why you would though", Tom chuckled to himself as the severity of the situation kicked in, Radscorpion venom could kill in hours if not properly treated.
 
Pawnsy pulled his knife from a scorpion's head and yelled to Tom "What the hell is a nightstalker and why do I need it's blood?, if someone's stung then give him this antivenom" He pulled it out of his satchel and tossed it towards Tom then continued fighting off the scorpions, there sure were a lot of them.
 
David pulled out his knife, and blocked a jab from a giant radscorpions stinger. David dodged another jab. He then jumped onto it and using his knife, stabbed the scorpion in between its armoured plates. The radscorpion writhed about in pain, and tried to stab David with its stinger. David jumped off, and the radscopion stabbed itself. David knew that Radscorpion wouldn't be affected by the poison, but the stinger had caused a considerable wound. David pulled out his pistol and shot at it until it was dead, the bullets hitting the exposed areas and the eyes.
 
Yasmin was picking off the small ones while keeping an eye on the guys fighting the bigger ones. She looked around quickly when she couldn't find any more moving except for one Pawnsy was fighting. She shot it in the face twice, the first bullet puncturing it already weakened shell, the second one dropping it.

''I think that's all of them.'' she yelled out to the men, taking Midas by the rope and leading him out into the battlefield over to the ghoul. ''Here's your stuff so you can patch Brad up. Make sure he lives? I want him in good health before I kill him for risking his life over a puppy.''
 
Pawsny smiled and took the rope "Mind if I have his puppy after you kill him? I have a nice dog recipe I've been wanting to try out" Pawnsy walked over to Brad a syringe of anti-venom in his hand and a bottle of it in the other. "choose your poison "tribal or syringe?, just a warning on the syringe it's a bit dirty." Wasteland medicine at it's finest.
 
Brad zipped open the bag. Sarge stuck his head up, finally able to breathe again.

"Syringe. And no, you can't have the dog. I didn't risk my life in another idiotic move to serve him to a ghoul. I'm gonna raise him. He'll be a real fighter."

He shot a quick grin.

"And let's stop referring yo him as "the dog." Call him Sarge."
