Chapter 8: The battle of Paradise Falls

18 men sat in the Atrium at the museum of Technology and listen to Elder Lyons the next morning. They were all pilots on the vertibirds that were going to be deployed to Paradise Falls. Two of them were pilots on the small ones that were gunships, while the rest were for the transport ships. Elder Lyons started talking. "Brotherhood of Steel, today is the day we once need to go too war. New intelligence suggest that the slavers at Paradise falls represents a immediate threat against The Mall. Therefore will we today perform a pre-emptive strike against them.

A map was behind them. It showed Paradise falls from a satellite perspective. It had some markers highlighted in red.. "Here is the place our intelligence says that the slaves are being held. Its imperative that this place will not be subject of our fire." Elder Lyons pointed to the eastern section of Paradise Falls.

"The attack will be in two strike. The two gunships will attack the front section and weaken their defence. After that the Transport ships will drop off troops here and create a spearhead. The transport needs to take three trips to transport all of our men. The gunship needs to watch them in the meantime. The operation will commence in two hours, and i need all you too stay here until that time. Any question?"

One hour later.

Infront of Lincoln memorial 200 men were gathered in full battle gear. TLW walked around them, if not just for the morale of seeing the Hero of Wasteland fighting with them, and he would fight indeed. Armed with the Assault Rifle and the specialised Power armor he was ready for another fight. He was though worried. The Power armor of the steels was of course helping them, but they were not invincible with them. The slavers had most likely both plasma and laser weapons. Those thing could paralyze a Power armor in one hit since it send a laser beam of many thousand degrees against almost pure steel.

" Finally some action" a voice behind him said.

" Reilly, you are coming with us?"

" Hell yeah, i am not leaving behind the men i myself have trained for this situation and i also would like too give some of them slavers a trip back too hell." She was dressed in her green combat armor and had plasma rifle in her hands.

" You would have to stand in line behind me" it came from Hannibal Hamlin. He had a shotgun with a patron belt around his shoulders. "For the first time i have a fighting chance against those demons, i would sure as hell not miss this opportunity." He choked his shotgun.

" Then welcome abroad." TLW said. He hoped he could take both Hamlin and Reilly back from Paradise Falls also. This was war and people would be killed. It worried him that there were not more than a night of planing this attack. But Lyons was afraid of the supposed spy that were lurking within the mall and developed his battle-plan only with some of his few trusted advisors, and even them were kept under heavy supervision the whole night.

"Okay listen up, A platoon of steels will take up first position and be the first one in action, but we will go down in the next to create support and push the final attack on Paradise Falls. The Vertibirds take six at time so stay together with the group. Remember your training and you will survive this. Paradise Falls is a hellhole, but thats the place we will send the filth too hell." It was Reilly who announced the battle plan standing on the third step of the Lincoln Memorial.

30 minutes later.

The two gunships took off from the citadel at 12.05. The transport started immediately filling up with the Steels who got the honor to be first and battle and followed quick behind. At the center of the Citadel where the Liberty Prime once was, sat Elder Lyons and watched the map while listening to the radio.
