sorry this took so long, laptop that had the almost done ver died so i had to remake this. was also doing another story. this chapter might not be good, but deal with it for now its gonna get way better soon.
Damon ran to the front of the house, he then yelled, "Val baby you need to see this!" she knew this was not good at all when she came up to the window. Outside the skys were ablaze with smoke.
Started by the attackers. Who ever they were there must be a lot of them and they must have some powerful weapons. "
Holy shit...." She breathed, "I don't think these are our average every day raiders, we need back up." One thing she knew was that you never fight alone in this war unless it is absolutely necessary, and this was a time were the amount of people mattered. "I couldn't agree more, I just hope they can get here in time, or we are going to have to fight them off."
Damon said as they ran into the garage and began to fasten the weapons back on, Valiena was trying to reach the rest of the team.
"Dante, jack...can anyone here me...over.*Static*" Valiena was starting to get worried "God damit, the Radio is out I can't reach anyone." Damon was hyper-alert, ready to fight.
"I think that one of those explosions was the tower going down, someone doesn't want anyone making calls." Damon said in a serious tone, this wasn't like raiders, if they were that is, they leave the com-towers up so they can talk to each other, unless they had walkies. "We are on our own for now, let's just hope word got out." Suddenly there was the sounds of cars coming from the dirt road, Damon darted over to a large chest and pulled out a browning M1919 with a few canisters of ammo, and a M72-LAW. He gave the Browning to Valiena who greatly accepted the monstrously powerful gun, and carefully walked out the back door.
They spotted a small group of cars around 4 of them, armored, and armed. A 94 Taurus wagon, a Chevy s10, an AMC Eagle 4WD Wagon, and a rusty looking 78 Pontiac Grand LeMans. No way these are local boys he though, raising the M72 he looked down the iron sights, waiting for the right second to fire The m72 had a range that went up to 150 -170 meters.
He waited until they were in range of the RPG then fired; the rocket sped towards its target. The front car. But the driver saw it coming and swerved out of the way leaving the people be hind to catch it which took out two of them, leavening them to get cut down by the browning, its thirty ought six rounds tearing them apart.
The LeMans was no wthe only one left standing, it opened fire its bullets heading right for Valiena but they never meet there mark as they were blocked by the Black interceptor that stopped right in front of her. Damon leaned over to open the left side door of the car for Valiena.
She jumped in, he floored it heading straight for the LeMans, and both shooting at each other but the LeMans was getting the most damage it was lightly armored in the front.
They weren't raiders they were marauders, the worst kind of person to meet. The gap in between the car was closing fast, both playing a game of chicken, seeing which one would bail out first. It was the Pontiac it swerved to the right into a ditch where it blew up, killed by a mine that had been placed they a long while back.
The interceptor swerved onto the road heading into town to help out the locals who were fighting back, they had been attacked before and now were tired of standing by while the town and its people were slaughtered.
Damon slammed on the breaks just in time as a Peterbilt 281 with a tractor trailer plowed past crushing several Marauder cars in its path, the town was a warzone, fights every where!
Up ahead at a gun shop two cars peeled out, getting what they wanted but getting chased out by the gun shops owner a thirty-nine year old man that was holding a M249 Saw and unloading it onto one of the cars. The bullets cut through the thin armor as if it were paper killing the driver.
"Holy shit" Damon and Valiena said at the same time, these people are no push over's. Up ahead by the side of the road two marauders were attacking a couple that was trying to flee the city.
Valiena leaned out of the window, aiming the iron sights at one of the three marauders, and fired, the gun kicked slightly throwing off her aim by a few inches. But she was able to right it, and continued to unload at the enemies around while Damon drifted around a turn running over a marauder, crushing his chest and skull; it was a quick and painless death.
Three cars came out of no where and began to bump and push the Black interceptor off the road, not trying to wreck it but damaged it enough to where it couldn't move but could be repaired, they wanted it.
Damon rammed back, he wasn't going to let punks like these get away with attacking a town. Valiena was unloading the gun into the car on the left side of the car until....Click, click. "I'm out, that was the last canister."
Damon instantly said "lift up the bed I have some weapons down there, can you hand me the M65 grenades." He pressed the accelerator down a bit getting away from the car behind them, he press the Roadkill mine button.
The mine ejected out from the layer and clamped to the ground, the marauder drove over it, the car exploded into the air creating and a large pile of scrape metal. He chuckled inwardly how stupid can you be, one thing many people knew is that if you see a Roadkill mine layer on the back of a vehicle, never start to ram when you have a crappy car.
Valiena lifted up the bed to reveal a good size gap that was full of deadly weapons, many she didn't know the name of a few she did. Wow lots of choices she thought as she grabbed a HK-G3 and the M67's a satchel of eight. "Here." she said as she sat back into the seat.
Damon grabbed the satchel he took one grenade and put it in the pocket of his leather jacket, "Drive for me will you." he said, and then he started to get out of the car and onto the roof it. The car drifted off the road and into the enemy marauder on the left, the grind of the metal created a loud screech.
Valiena jumped into the seat and righted the car on the road. "Fuck you assholes!" She yelled, opening fire with the bruiser cannon, looking through screen installed on the dash being careful so she wouldn't shoot Damon or cause him to fall.
Damon grabbed a grenade out of the satchel, pulled the pin out and threw it at the car on the left, it hit the driver in the head, causing her to decelerate behind and explode.
The car shook violently as the last remaining Marauder side swiped the car, knocking Damon down making him dropped the grenade satchel, and he nearly fell off but grabbed the bruiser cannon to stop him.
"Fuck!" he yelled, only one way to do this now he thought. Picking him self up he readied himself to jump, taking a step back he waited until the car tried to ram again, then jumped.
Time seemed to slow down as he jumped he made it, landing on the front off the car, scaring the living shit out of the marauder. Damon whipped his Colt 1911 shooting the window, he kicked it in.
Valiena pulled close to the car knowing what he was going to do.
The driver of the car reached for his Browning High Power but got kicked the driver in the head breaking his nose and stunning him.
Damon reached into his pocket and pulled out the M67, pulled the pin, threw it in the car then jumped back to his car, sat down in the car and picked up the G3. The car exploded into a rolling fireball, crashing into a stoplight.
They turned down the road, Valiena slammed on the brakes, scared shitless at what they saw in front of them, the 281 was barreling down the road straight for them, and the driver didn't know they were friendly.
She flipped the car into reverse and stomped on the gas, the tires screeched and spit out smoke as the car hurtled backwards; all the while Damon was shooting the semi, aiming for the tires, not wanting to kill the driver. Valiena pressed the brake then did a 180, switching the gears and pressing the pedal to the floor.
The CB suddenly came to life, a familiar voice could be heard, it was Dante who said "Hey, guys we are on our way need help?"
Valiena grabbed the CB, "Yea no shit, we got a manic in a Peter after us, think you can get it off us?" Damon was still shooting at the rigs tires, missing on the count of the road was full of cars and they had to weave to avoid them or crash.
"Yea, no prob hold tight we are about a mile out, and are......fuck this is not good!" Dante said.
This made Damon stop shooting; he got back in the car and grabbed the CB. "What is it?" Damon asked; he didn't like the sound of this.
"This is real bad. The vigilantes are heading right for the town; Jack just got word of it over the Scanner." Dante said back, that was real bad.
"How many? If there is ten be careful if there is more we have to pull out, this city is too crazy we will get ripped apart." Damon said in a controlled tone.
"Uh...let me check with jack," Dante said in an unsure tone, "Oh...fuck...By what jack says all of them are heading this way, they are ten miles out and closing fast!"
"SHIT," Valiena yelled, "That is at least thirty people! We need to pulled out No way we can repel that in the state we are right now!" she yanked on the wheel taking heading for the road out of town that lead to Vegas.
Damon said as calmly as he could but fast "Ok, listen we are falling back, I repeat falling back, return to base. We will meet you there."
"Ok, but be careful we got attacked by some marauders there are more out there but we have to--"the transmission cutout right then and there, another voice took Dante's place, a voice that made Damon's blood go cold in fear and anger, it pissed Valiena right the fuck off but on the inside she was just as scared as him. It was convoy.
"Well, it looks like we finally found you." Convoy said in a happy tone, not a good happy tone one of those I'm happy I found you and I'm going to kill you crazy happy tones. "Now why are you attacking this town?"
"Go to hell you crazy fuck! Were not here to attack, we are here to help, your just to blind to see that!" Valiena yelled into the CB, Damon reached into the jumble of weapons from under the bed and pulled out an M202A1 and inside of it were 4 M74 incendiary rockets. It also could have a different type of round it, 66mm HEAT rounds; the incend rounds will kill convoy and a good amount of his team in seconds. provided it hit them right.
"I have had it will you, you paranoid ass, you try to kill me, and the road warriors, have we ever attacked you?" Damon said in the CB in a threatening voice. They were now at the outskirts of the town, the maniac in the peter had stopped and gone back to help the people in the town.
"I have been told by trustworthy people that you and your team are not good people. Attacking innocent people, ambushing supply trucks." Convoy said back in a clam tone, thinking he was right.
"Your wrong old man, we haven't done anything like that, those people you are getting your Intel from are dumb as shit. Valiena growled into the CB, a few miles up ahead at a dirt road that went off to the left side of the road a ton of vehicles drifted onto the main road heading right for them, it was the vigilantes.
This was not good, going one on thirty wasn't an option for them; they had to get them to follow, so they could get them out far enough to get away so they couldn't find them.
"Val, press the nitrous button we need to get out of here now, I don't have enough ammo or guns to fight back, and the guns on the car are almost empty now." Damon said in a serious tone, he wasn't kidding the guns had only enough ammo for ten minutes of fighting, far too low to fight. Valiena pressed the nitrous, and was thrown back into the seat, shifting gears along the way, the gap between the vehicles closing very fast.
"What in the hell are those two doing? Do they have a death wise?" John torque said into the CB, priming his special weapon incase they attacked. His special weapon was stereo with bass so powerful it can ripple the earth and send cars flying.
The interceptors speed was still increasing it reached two hundred; it screamed past the vigilantes some of the vigilantes fired, but missed.
"Holy, shit!" Convoy yelled as it passed by, he spun around and chased after, "You guys stay back and help the town john your with me." The interceptor now a small dot down the road, they had to slow down the temp gauge on the engine was hot, any longer on the nitro and the engine would start to break.
The roads were empty; word of the attack had gotten out.
"Stop at the Desert rock Airport it's been abandoned for a while now, mercury is a ghost town too; we need to hide for now. Hopefully they wont find us there the roads are not good so be careful, don't want break an axle or we are in some deep shit." Damon pointed out as he showed Valiena a map of the area. She nodded made a sharp left turn down the rough dirt road.
The car came to a stop in front of one of the many hangers there was a blue trap with junk around it, they hid in under it, and there was a door conveniently next to it.
"Ok I think we are safe for now." Valiena said as she set down a small bag that had some food,guns and ammo in it, "We are gonna have to stay here for a while."
Damon was looking out the door for any sign of the vigilantes, thankfully they were not near by, Convoy and john had given up for now. Damon walked over to Valiena and said "We cant use the CB to call out, see the Airport Com tower, all the tech is still there we can use it to tell the team what happened." He went over to the bag and pulled out the G3.
"How, you said this place is abandoned."
"Yes, but they didn't shutdown the power to this place or the town, they can't for some reason."
"Wait, they know we are on the run they are going to jam the signals so we can't tell them what happened." Valiena said back. "
They will be blocking the CB signals that are in their area, the tower's radio wont jam that easy, they cant jam it unless they know how to jam the twoers signal."
With that they ran over to the tower and found the door locked, but that was solved with a bullet to the lock. What they saw in the tower made them uneasy, some one was living there but they weren't home at the moment. There was a bed on the floor, a pile of clothes near it, some food, ammo and guns.
"We need to make this quick." Valiena muttered, they made their way up the stairs and into the Control room, it was stripped of most of the electronics but the Radio was still there. Valiena instantly started to get to work; she knew how to get it back online.
Damon stood watch and helped when he could. The Radio soon came to life, Valiena began to surf the channels until she found the channel that was meant for emegrency use only. "Hey......guys can you read me?" She asked.
"Yes, I can ready you, what's wrong?" It was Dante again, he sounded worried, he was right to. Valiena told him what happened. He didn't like what he was told. "What's your twenty?"
"Desert rock airport, listen we have to be careful the vigilantes are on our ass, we are ok at the moment," she replied. "How are things at sin city west (Vegas), any chatter about them around?"
"Every thing is fine, we had a little run in with a small party of marauders, just got scraped up a little bit. And no there isn't any, looks like they are heading back to Utah; they were out here to kill you. They found you I don't know how, but someone must have leaked Intel out on you two."
"Ok, well we see you later." Valiena said before she shutdown the radio. "Lets get moving." She said as she put a hand on Damon's shoulder, he lower his gun and walked down the stairs with her.
Half way down the stairs there was the sound of the door opening, they both stopped, crouched and walked down the stairs slowly, guns ready.
"Looks like the owner is home" Damon whispered to Valiena.
They made they way down the stairs, just as they turned the corner, they were both hit in the head by something hard, which knocked them down but not out.
The barrel of a M4 came into Damon's view; he put his hands up, as did Valiena. But if this person was a threat she could knock the person down with her tail. He looked up at the owner off the gun; his jaw hit the floor at who he saw it was. A man that was bald looked to be in his fifties to sixties. It was Mark.
"M-Markie?" Damon asked hoping he was right. The man seemed to be surprised for a second he only knew one person that ever called him that.
"Damon? Is that you?" The man asked, lowering the gun. Unsure if this was him or not, for all he knew he could have been a spy. "Yes." was all he said.
Mark put his gun down with a sigh of relief, "Geez, man what are you doing here? I could have blown your fucken head off!" He helped Valiena and him up.
It was Valiena who answered his question, "We were stopping some Marauders from attacking the town. Then the Vigilantes found us some how, they chased us but are back in Utah now."
Mark said in a unhappy voice "No, they haven't you were misinformed, they are tricking you, hoping to fooling you into going out and back you where ever your base is, so they can kill you all. I suggest you stay here for now, your friends will understand." Valiena gave him that look of how do you know that. "
How can you be so sure?" She asked, she got her answer in a heartbeat.
"It's a classic trick, make fake chatter of you going back to base but you don't. Hide out along one of the routes that the enemy takes, but don't let them see you until its too late for them or they follow behind. Then when the prey is at there destination or base, kill them." Mark said, walking around the room, making sure everything was still here.
Valiena was surprised, not once had she ever though of trying that, maybe because she liked to take the enemy down one by one or when they are on the road and easy to take down. "So, how long do we have to wait, hour, a day, two?"
"One day is how long we have to wait; we have a long day ahead of us, so I guess we just find something to do." Damon said as he looked out the small window, making sure again that they were safe.
Mark walked over to the door, shut it. "So, since we are all here why don't we talk about something, to pass the time?"
