(3nd)

Power ganger 1: "SHOT THAT BI-"

Krystal swiped her machete at the power ganger's bare neck with a powerful strike causing his head to go flying in the air. As the other gang member stepped back when the blood of his fellow power ganger covered his eyes causing him to blinded. Sadly when he opened them again he was meet with the two barrels of the courier's saw off shotgun.

(y/n): "Smile,"

Before he could say anything the gang member's head exploded into blood bits as grey matter and bone fragments went flying. As his body fell to the ground the last of the five power gangers that were waiting to ambush the guy who killed their fellow power gangers in Goodsprings where countered Ambushed by the very guy they were sent to kill, Along with furry chick who helped the courier quickly take down these gangers.

Krystal then rubbed her face with her hand to whip out the blood of the gang members blood from her fur.

Krystal: "What a bloody mess you made,"

Reloading his gun the courier smiled as he got down to the headless bodies of the two power gangers.

(y/n): "Sorry this thing has a short barrel so you have to go up close and personal,"

As the gun turned into green data the courier began to loot the bodies finding plenty of TNT sticks on them.

Krystal: "You weren't kidding about them having a shit ton of explosives,"

(y/n): "Yeah but lucky for us these will be most useful in our hands than theirs,"

Krystal nodded she sheathed her weapon as she got down picking up a 9mm pistol looking at it. (y/n) turned to her and held out his hand, she handed it over to him as he pulled back the slide before letting it go forward. With a nod he handed it back to her.

(y/n): "Not a bad weapon to start with check him for any spare ammo,"

The vixen looked down at her new weapon with a smile, she then took the holster off the power ganger's leg and strapped it to her side before taking the two loaded magazines of ammo. After looting the bodies of the five dead gang members they ended up with a switchblade and other small shiv like weapons on their bodies.

(y/n): "Hopefully their is a trader at primm to sell this junk,"

Krystal: "What makes you think they buy that stuff,"

The courier turned with a grin on his face.

(y/n): "From what Chet told me this: 'one man's trash is another's treasure,"

Getting up the courier waved for her to follow as she nodded and the two began to walk on the road once again. For krystal being in this world wasn't what she expected after (y/n)'s description of it. She expected...well she didn't know what to expect but not an endless sea of sand and a blistering heat wave.

Unlike her human companion she had fur which was terrible for the massive heat wave she was being hit by. She had to pant like a dog to keep cool and drink water but luckily (y/n) had enough water to last for a few extra days. But her armor wasn't helping at all though it did provide protection from the shivs that the power gangers had it also trapped heat. But she was in no position to complain she was lucky to have this armor for if wasn't for it that metal shiv would have entered her rips and get her lung. So she kept her mouth sh-

(Y/n): "Hey krystal there it is!"

She blinked before looking forward and saw it a ruin of town that was split in two by a bridge.

Krystal: "Is that Primm?"

The courier turned to her and gave a nod.

(y/n): "Yeah well that is what my pip-boy says this is the place,"

Looking at the two parts of the old world town they were met with a man, he wasn't hostile to them or anything. The guy wore a strange looking uniform of some kind, he wasn't power ganger but his suit held a military...esk fit to it. On his chest plate held the New california republic flag, he was an NCR trooper.

NCR grunt: "Hold. This area is off limits to civilians and...mutants,"

Krystal: "HEY!"

The grunt turned tot krystal who snarled at the trooper before pointing at him.

Krystal: "I. Am. Not. A. Mutant,"

NCR grunt: "Well...I...um...I have orders to tell you two I have orders to warn those who pass by that this area is currently under the control of escaped convicts,"

(y/n): "Power gangers?"

The grunt shook his head as he turned to the courier.

NCR grunt: "No we believe they aren't affiliated with the power gangers but their own group,"

(y/n): "So...can we pass?"

The NCR trooper sighed.

NCR grunt: "I was ordered to warn those about the convicts so if you die I am not entitled to what happens next,"

(y/n): "Well...thanks I guess come on krystal,"

Krystal: "Wait,"

The courier stops in his tracks as he turns to her.

(y/n): "What's wrong?"

Krystal turns to the grunt.

Krystal: "Do they have hostages?"

The NCR troop gave a nod.

NCR grunt: "We believe so and they are threatening them if we can advance currently we are at a stalemate right now,"

The vixen turned from the trooper to the courier.

Krystal: "We should help,"

(y/n) nodded.

(y/n): "I was thinking the same thing,"

NCR grunt: "Hey now I just told you guys they have hostages! I can't allow you guys go running in and starting up a fire fight!"

(y/n): "Not if they see us,"

/BREAK!/

Convict: "Hey dude,"

The other escaped convict sighed as he turned to the junkie

Convict 2: "Yeah,"

Convict: "Do you still have that j-j-jet left over,"

Convict 2 just rolled his eyes as he pulled out a jet inhaler before throwing it at the junkie.

Convict: "YES!"

Convit 2: "Now will you shut up god your more annoying than my cell mate,"

The junkie smiled as he inhaled the drug though his mouth before exhaling as the world began to slow down. As it did the junkie then watched as something snaked around the neck of the convict who gave him the drug. A blue sleeved arm wrapped around the guys neck before a steak knife was driven into the guy's head. With the world still in slow-mo as he pulled up his weapon but everything still moved like a crawl.

Then the pain shot through his body like a bag of Rad-away as something was pushed through his back and though his chest. Causing him to drop his varmint rifle as everything began to speed back up, as it did blood rushed to his mouth as the junkie's eyes rolled back into his skull.

The vixen behind him pulled out her weapon from his back as she watched him fall forward onto the burnt earth, dead. They hadn't been seen yet, (y/n) and Krystal had climbed the fence behind the two 'guards' before quickly and quietly ended their lives.

The courier pulled his knife from the head of the poor sap in his arm before letting him fall to the ground. Looking at the body the courier got down and began to check him for spare ammo, krystal then checked the body of her kill. She pulled off some 5.56 for her new rifle, she looked down the iron sights of the weapon before pulling back the bolt and letting one in the chamber.

For some odd reason she feel...comfortable in a strange way, and like before when she killed those power gangers she didn't feel sad or anything. It was like she did something like that a 1,000 times before, was she a killer in her past life or a soldier?

Maybe...maybe not, but that didn't matter right now all that did was those hostages.

(y/n): "*Whispers* good?"

She nods as she shouldered the weapon on her back as she readied her weapon. Giving a thumbs up the courier and her began to sneak across the gas station area and hugged the wall of the building behind the gas station. There a convict was snoring on the wall as he leaned on it not hearing the two behind him. With a swift motion the courier got up and pulled the escaped convict back slamming him down on the earth. But the convict didn't have time to react as the courier plunged his knife into the man's throat.

Another kill.

The courier the patted the guy down as Krystal watched for anyone who would spot them. As he looted the corpse (y/n) pulled the man back before peeking around the corner as he spotted two more looking at a body in front of a building called 'the Mojave express'.

(y/n) turned the corner back to Krystal who was waved to as she nodded as the two walked over as the courier pulled his knife. The two convicts where searching the body with their backs turned to the two that came up behind them. Quickly the attack hit the two criminals, their mouths covered as the blades entered their bodies. Blood poured down as they where brought down to earth.

After taking them down Krystal spoke to the courier.

Krystal: "I think that's the last of them,"

As the courier got up he looked at his pip-boy and gave a nod.

(y/n): "Yep my pip-boy tells me were in the clear but their are the building we got to clear them next but which one should we clear first?"

Krystal looked to the three buildings before pointing to the main building of Primm.

Krystal: "We should do the casino first,"
