The Lone Soldier

PART 5.5

Zer0 and Maya take rest very seriously they flat out refused to leave for 3 days so I have 3 days off and no Idea what to do in a town that hates me.

I walk around and end up at a garage called scooters and head inside.

Scooter: Hello welcome to Scooters, I'm Scooter Mechanic and connoisseur of girlfriend

I slowly nod my head confused.

Ryker: good to know

I walk over to the Terminal and materialise my bike.

Scooter: whoooweee that's a fine piece of metal you got there mind if I take a look?

Ryker: not at all

Scooter *whistles* nice... needs new hydraulics though

Ryker: OK will that cost me anything?

Scooter: only a trip

I raise my eyebrow as he continues.

Scooter: I lost some magazines down in the fridge and I really liked them and need them back would you mind?

I shake my head.

Ryker: no not at all but I gotta ask first why don't you hate me?

Scooter: got no reason to... do I?

Ryker:(thoughts) so he's just dumb? Good.

Ryker: nah not to my knowledge I'll be back soon.

I head to the building in the centre of sanctuary and use the fast travel station to go to the fridge and almost immediantly I hear I gunshot and see a group of rats surrounding me.

Ryker: didn't we kill you like a day ago?

The rats start shooting but I'm already gone, I've teleported behind them I empty both of my guns taking them out, while I reload I carefully sneak out to the old bridge where multiple scrap cars lay scattered about.

I can't see any rats nor do my bionic eyes register any life so I step out and ECHO Scooter.

Ryker: Hey Scooter where are they? Do you have an exact location?

Scooter: Nope but I'm sure they're on the bridge not to far in

Ryker: not very helpful Scooter

Scooter: try checking inside the cars and under the magical ammo boxes

Ryker: uh OK?

I start looking through the cars and on the 3rd car I spot a pile of magazines I rip off the crushed door and pull them out.

Ryker: ew they're sticky... hold up is that Moxxi? Oh wow she's... just wow

Scooter: you got some?

Ryker: yeah I didn't know Moxxi was a model

Scooter: yeah my mom has a great body

Ryker: nope!

I throw them on the ground and allow my bionic arm to set the mags alight.

Ryker: sorry Scooter they just went up in flames in my hand... it was so bizarre

Scooter: really?... dang it, well I could always get a diffrent magazine maybe one with Soldier Stella in

Ryker: yes you do that anything but Moxxis magazines

Scooter: why don't you come back we'll have a drink

Ryker: well you are currently my only friend other than Maya and Zer0 so sure I'll be up in 5 minutes

Scooter: see you soon
