Ok hi guys, this part three. I tried to take some suggestions in but they'll be mostly appearing in Pt 4 as I had this half written when I read the suggestions. Thanks for replying people and I have tried to post his one as quick from posting the other as possible. As always comments are welcome. ENJOY
In front of them was a power-armoured figure. It wore no helmet but still looked advanced. It had some sort of a pistol in one had and had a minigun strapped to the other arm. It looked like a ferocious monster and all of the group felt like screaming. But still this "Monster" Had just saved their lives, they should at least be thankful to it for that
"Hah," It exclaimed "I see the look of fear in your eyes. It is with that fear that you were rescued." He declared. The group of course knew that this was true. "So you need another travelling companion?" He asked Jedziea.
"Ahm sure," She said surprised at herself
"Where we headed then?" he asked.
"San Fran," Replied the still scarred Jedziea.
The rest of the group was a bit calmer now as they realised their saviour was with the Brotherhood. The figure had a bloodthirsty look on his face. It suddenly faded and he looked normal despite the fact that he was wearing power armour. He moved over to the elevator. He gestured with his hand for them to approach him. As they did he triggered the elevator to move downwards. Then again without speaking he moved over to a door and opened this. He gestured them in and then opened a locker. He went through the rest of the group's gear handing it to them slowly. He then stealthily ran to the next storage room. The group then wondered how long this presence had been lurking here in observation of every move. They thought perhaps that he had been here even when Jedziea was north in New Reno. They were wrong however as he had entered when they were captured. It wasn't his first visit but he was aware he had visitors in what he had taken to be his home. Goris seemed easier with him emotionally than the rest although if he did have any emotions at all he rarely and barely showed them. He displayed no fear or hatred now but instead friendship as if he knew and admired the power-armoured man.
"So Goris still hung around then, loyal to this girl now are you?" He asked Goris.
"I am indeed Fang," Replied Goris. The two were now ahead and almost isolated from the rest.
"Still like this place then?" Fang continued to ask.
"Yes I do LIKE it here but it reminds me of what happened still."
"Ohh yeah, that reminds me." Fang said
"What?" Asked the deathclaw.
"I took that video clip of your leader dying." Fang began to tell
"AND?" Goris questioned
"And I studied it in my base." Fang continued.
"What did you find?" Asked Goris.
"Well when I ran an advanced scan I found your leader was still alive."
"What do you mean!" Shouted Goris
The rest of the group ran up to them.
"What is it Goris?" Jedziea asked.
"Do you really mean it?" Goris asked Fang
"Mean what?" Jedziea questioned "Do you know each other?"
"Yes we do indeed." Goris said to her "He is my friend, he used to live here. Or at least temporarily. He left a lot and went places but…"
"Goris this is important." Fang told him "he was dumped in the waste land, he lives in a cave. Some of the others were still alive too. They hid. The mother is still alive and they have a large and prosperous new tribe."
"You seem awfully positive on your theory, have you any evidence to back it up?"
"I've been there I've seen him." Fang told Goris.
"REALLY?" Goris asked
Fang nodded and continued to walk on. He came to where Vic and Cassidy's secret base was. He removed the tile from the wall and he took a key card from a pocket. He ran this through the reader and the door opened.
"How-how is this possible? " Vic asked, "It was completely safeguarded."
"Relax," Said Fang "It's a skeleton Card," He raised it displaying a picture of a human skeleton. "It opens any door locked like this."
Fang went through and proceeded to open the unlocked lockers. He handed Jedziea her gear which was in the locker. He also took out some of Vic's. Cassidy had his on him.
Jedziea left the Vault eager to get on to San Fran where the rest of her friends waited. They went on at a startling pace which only Fang could keep up with.
"So you like running?" She asked Fang.
A smile came across his face as he looked down at her. She was an average height but Fang was larger than she was.
"I guess you could say that." He replied
"Will you two please slow down." Asked Vic who was weakly panting along behind them. They could also see that Lenny has having trouble but he didn't want to complain.
"Unless you want some privacy, and even then you could hire a room or something. Or whatever the hell just quit running. Some of us aren't as fit as the two of you."
Jedziea slowed down, Fang remained at her side.
"Chosen, if I may ask a favour," said Goris.
"Yes go ahead." Jedziea replied
"Did you hear what Fang said?" He asked her
"About what.?" She asked.
"About the deathclaws."
"Ohh that," She replied "Yeah he started."
"Well I would like us to go and visit the new deathclaw tribe."
"Do you mean you want to leave us, if so it's been nice having you with us and we hope we can see you again."
"No that is not what I had in mind chosen." Goris said.
"Well what did you have in mind?"
"I would like our whole group to visit."
"Very…" She was cut short as a stream of blasts came up behind them
"I thought we destroyed all the raiders," Jedziea said to Fang
"This is the same clan just a different band," Fang replied "Probably seeking revenge."
The raiders approached with all their weapons blazing. Fang drew his Vindicator at let that release all its stream of powerful bullets on them. Fang stood next to Marcus and they let their burst of fire combine. Jedziea joined them with her weapon going also on burst. Goris decided he would stay out of this fight, as there was no room for close combat. The group soon lost their advantage over the raiders as their miniguns began to run out of ammo. Jedziea advanced with only a pistol in hand. She then realised that this was the same group of raiders that were in the vault, the same that had raped her. She was not sad at this just very very angry. She aimed her weapon at ones head. The raiders were launching gauss rifle bullets at her. But even this could not stop her anger. She shot at the leader. The single bullet hit his nose and almost instantly his face turned red with blood. From behind Fang shot with some sort of weapon. The device had a large circular and long barrel. A handle protruded from its side and a strap was attached to Fang's back so as to support the weapon. Fang had his other hand on another handle sticking out of the bottom. This handle apparently held the trigger, the other being used for weapon settings. He focused the weapon on one raider. He turned it on and a stream of blue and white fire leaked out. It was incredibly burning and Fang turned his head as the flame was launched. The raider's screams could be heard for miles as the weapon which apparently had the hottest flame I the world burnt through his skin and armour. He ran the fire was tailing him and he was burning still. The worst part of the weapon looked like it didn't make you die instantly and instead made you stand and suffer.
Jedziea looked at Fang and his weapon then across at the still burning raider. She motioned with a nod and Fang began to unstrap the weapon and through it to her.
"Ok Cala," He said "is it all right if I call you that?"
"Sure," She replied as she looked at the weapon settings. She was still being bombarded with some bullets but the raiders seemed to be running away. She made her advance with Fang'' weapon. She released the Flame and swivelled on the spot as she did so. She then walked forward the flame going with her. The previously launched flame dissipated in the air even though the first raider shot with it was still on fire and perfectly alive. She continued to get her revenge with the flame as her device. It shot forward and began to burn raiders. The air stunk of fried blood and ashes. Jedziea looked away as she couldn't bare even the heat of the flame she shot herself. She decided that she wanted her revenge. That nothing would stop her. She looked increasingly scary. She burnt all the raiders quickly and turned around and walked back. An evil smirk came over her face, The group looked at her. She had never looked so scary. It seemed to cast fear even into Fang the brotherhood agent. She no longer looked like that playful beautiful little e girl that used to travel around near Klamath shooting scorpions in a playful way. She meant business, She turned and then sat down.
"Let's set up camp here," She said the anger seeming to slip from her, it was replaced by a look of extreme sadness. Fang walked over to her and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Are you ok?" he whispered into her ear.
She looked back up at him, she began to slowly cry. She looked down at herself, Fang kissed her on the head and laid her down o the floor acting as if they were old loyal friends.
"I'll protect you," he whispered as he removed a tent from her pack.
He unrolled the tent and individually set it up "Who normally sleeps with Cala?" fang asked them
They all looked across at him strangely.
"I mean in her tent," He replied.
They all looked normal again. "I did for a while," Said Goris, "But I normally sleep in with Vic but he wasn't here when last arrangements were made."
Goris climbed into a tent he had rapidly put up, Vic followed him. Then Marcus climbed into a tent on his own and that left Lenny and Cassidy to the last tent. Marcus left no room for any one else as he was only using human sized tents.
"I guess I'll have to come in with you," he said to Jedziea
"What did you used to sleep on before then?" She asked
"Ohh, the floors ok for me, when I was in the vault I had a comfy bed though." He said. He smiled which was a rare thing among the first few days when he met the group. She seemed to change him over time as she had changed the rest of them. Her playfulness and her joy, She acted like a little girl. Always running dancing singing and trying on what clothes there were left in good condition in the wasteland. Even Marcus and Goris seemed to have developed at least some sort of limited sense of humour.
Jedziea layed back and sighed, she would be going through an emotional week now after being raped. This is no way to treat our new guardian though. She remembered when she had first meet most of the group, how friendly she and her limited amount of companions at the time had treated their new recruits. She thought that they probably would of left if she had treated them how she was acting and feeling now. However this seemed to draw Fang closer. He acted like a good friend to Jedziea, the group couldn't say why though. It was obvious why he treated Goris in a good friendly manner because they WERE old friends. But they honestly could not say.
Marcus was lying on his own as always looking up at the tent roof. He was thinking, he was considering how safe his mistress may be in the same tent as that power-armoured monster. He could kill her with one shot of that flame weapon and then be gone before any of them could get there to save her. But still if there was an attack she couldn't defend herself in this state but he could defend her better than anyone else in the group. Probably better than anyone for many miles around them.
Jedziea slept quite well despite the fact she thought she would have nightmares. She tried not to remember what happened in the vault before Fang came to save them. Nothing could clear it from her mind. Still she thought about how helpful Fang had been even though he was only new to the group. She wondered whether he was too good to be true, he had saved them from raiders and then he was still being nice to her. What had she done for him. She told herself he must be a hater of raiders which explained why he saved them and he was just being nice to his travelling companions when they were in need. She almost forgot WHY she was sad but not that she ACTUALLY was sad. She didn't get to sleep for about an hour, she remained awake looking at her companion. She could almost swear he was looking at her but this was hard to tell as Fang's head was concealed by his helmet which she was surprised he was wearing while asleep when he didn't earlier.
She then continued to think about the stranger. Did he have some hidden motive and Why did he keep looking at her.
The next morning she woke after a good night sleep. She looked at her pip boy, it was fairly early. She looked over to where Fang had been lying the night before, he was gone! She couldn't see him anywhere. Her sadness seemed to have disappeared. She was as happy and joyful as she always used to be. She decided that she needed to talk to Fang, she needed to ask what he wanted and why he was really here. But secretly she knew why he was here and what his motives were but she didn't want to admit it to herself. She suspected Fang was outside so she got up ad moved out of the tent. She looked round as she went out, she could swear that she heard a laugh from her tent. She knew she was imagining things so she resumed looking for Fang. She looked round but he was no where to be seen. She saw though that Goris was up. She went over to him. He was sitting away from the camp on a log looking out into nothingness. There was nothing, no caves no cliffs, just nothing. She heard him sigh, she knew he could sense that she was there. He did know that she was there and was coming towards him. She sat on the log next to him her face rested on her hands. She sighed as she looked into nothingness with her friend Goris.
"Have you seen him?" She asked not needing to say his name
"No," Replied Goris "I sensed he was gone when I woke up."
"Why does that make you sad?" She asked, "because you were old friends."
"No," Goris answered "It is because he knew where the deathclaw tribe is."
"Did you sense him leaving?" She asked
"No," Goris answered in a sad tone "I did not, he must have left early."
"The where is he and why did he say he wanted to join us only to leave the very next day?"
Jedziea asked in a puzzled way
That was the question. Why had he left and where was he.
