Getting back to the wall, I notice that something isn't right. What's usually bustling with security guards and traveling caravans, is now silent and desolate. I immediately crouch down and maneuver my way through the street. Just as I get to the signs that begin telling you which way to go to Diamond City, I spot something moving in the shadows. It wasn't small either, it was twice, almost three times bigger than myself. I sneak back to Piper and describe to her what I saw.
"Fang, what you just described to me, sounds like one of the meanest beasts I've ever known to walk the wasteland. You just described to me a bloody, fucking Deathclaw." Piper whispered, trying to keep her voice down. "Well that would explain the lack of people."
I didn't know what to make of this information, as i haven't had any prior knowledge to this new world. I quickly switch to my sniper rifle and make my way back to where I spotted the beast before. Piper follows closely behind me. I crouch down and sneak my way closer, watching where I step but also keeping an eye out for the beast.
"We need to find high ground, these things don't look smart enough to climb up these old worn down buildings." I whisper, keeping my voice low.
Piper and I make our way through a nearby apartment building, and up to the roof. I set up a vantage point, so Piper can be my spotter. I then set up a makeshift sniper's nest, using my dufflebag and anything else I could find in the building. We set up our rifles, as to take turns firing off. One spots while the other fires and vice versa when the sniper has to reload.
I take the first sniper rotation, and put Piper on spotter duty. Within seconds of setting up, Piper spots multiple targets, three deathclaws to be exact. I load a round into the chamber and take aim. I flip on my night vision scope, taking aim at the first Deathclaw.
BOOM!! My rifle breaks the silence, sending a .50 caliber round into the beast's skull. The thing lets out a bone chilling roar, seeing as the bullet caused damage, just not enough to kill it. I eject the round, feeding a new one into the chamber. BOOM!! The second shot rings out, this time, the beast drops to the ground.
The gunshots draw the other deathclaws' attention, thankfully were eight to nine floors off the ground. They come running to their now dead companion and begin looking around. They both let out another bone chilling roar. I eject the round again feeding the next one into the chamber.
Just then, I notice a glow that messes with my night vision scope. I flip the night vision off to see a couple red barrels.
"Piper, are those red barrels explosive?" I ask, taking aim at them.
"Yeah, highly explosive. Why?" Piper responds.
"Just curious, you might want to cover your ears Piper." I say, placing my finger on the trigger.
She covers her ears and I pull the trigger. The sound of the rifle is drowned out by the sound of the barrels exploding which, in response to, temporarily deafens me.
I look down to see the damage done, and to my surprise, Deathclaw guts, organs, limbs, everything is just splattered up against the buildings, one of the heads have even taken to using itself as a new door knocker.
