Piper and I make our way past the Wall and out into the Commonwealth. Peace doesn't last very long, as we are immediately ambushed by a small group of what Piper likes to call raiders. I grab the Wasteland Devastator, which is my combat rifle, and immediately open fire, aiming for as many headshots as I can.
Shortly after the firefight ensues, a grenade comes bouncing along. With quick reflexes, I lob the grenade back, taking one of the raiders' legs off. I jump over the barrier and charge in, swapping out the Wasteland Devastator for the Sweeper. I fire into the building where the raiders are taking cover, managing to take a few out.
What started out as 12 to 13 raiders are now reduced to 5 or 6. I engage in close range combat using my shotgun, dropping another couple raiders. Piper is weaving in and out of the barriers, skillfully landing shots left and right. I regroup with her, swapping out for my combat rifle. Immediately, I notice one trying to flank us from the left.
"Piper, nine o'clock." I say, providing cover fire.
Piper immediately turns her attention to the flanker, and drops her like it was a piece of cake. I reload, while Piper provides cover fire for me.
"L, two o'clock, second floor." Piper says, getting behind cover. "Automatic weaponry, by the sounds of it, they're using a pipe rifle."
Taking the information into account, I toss a grenade over the bus hoping to flush the idiot towards me. And it works, the bastard runs right into my line of sight, long enough for me to get a couple shots off. He falls off the ledge to the ground below, and snaps his neck on impact. I check through the bus window, narrowly avoiding being shot.
"If my math is correct, there should be
at least two left." Piper says, reloading her pistol.
I nod and reload my rifle, listening for the raiders. I crouch down to get a view from under the bus, suddenly, a grenade rolls up underneath.
"Move!! Grenade!" I yelled, pulling Piper over one of the barriers.
The grenade explodes, sending the bus skyward, towards us. I throw Piper out the way, but unable to get myself out the way. Luckily for me, literally, the windows on the bus were long gone. I open my eyes to find that the only sustained injury, was my foot stuck under the bus.
After a few seconds of trying to free my foot, it comes out, armor and all. Well, I can thank my lucky stars later, I crawl out of the bus through one of the roof flaps and regroup with Piper. We use their tactics against them and lob a couple grenades. They land in a spot where the raiders weren't looking.
Boom! The grenades explode, sending one flying into the street, the other through a hole in the wall. We move in, finishing off the remaining raiders. Making sure, just in case they survived the explosions. We then take the time to loot their bodies, picking up any ammo and explosives we could find as well as any usable materials and weapons.
We double check our surroundings before heading out again. The last thing we need right now is another fire fight.
"Shall we continue?"I asked, checking my pip-boy.
"Ready, where is it we're going, exactly?" Piper responded.
"Sanctuary Hills." I reply. "I'm returning home."
