Chapter 2…
~Unknown Bunker~
Somewhere out in the Wasteland is a long-abandoned underground military facility, alone Ghoul scientist walks into a room full of cages. Thunderous, violent rawrs as various experiments attempting to attack him from behind the cages. *ZAP!!* The creatures get pushed back by the electric fence. "Mindless imperfect beasts!"
Walking past the long pathway of cages into a room two massive steel doors. One is labeled CC-01 and another CC-02 respectively. *BANG! BANG!* Something on the other side of door number one violently pounds on it, creating huge fist-shaped dents. Then two large claws stab through solid steel a foot thick. Then a glowing green eye peaks through from a pitch black room. "Hello… father~!" A raspy voice says with a reptilian hiss, the scientist can feel the murderous hatred in its tone. "So kind of you to pay me a visit! Let give you a big hug… with my teeth."
"So I see you've been doing well Zero One." The scientist smirks, feeling safe behind the steel door. Only to panic when he sees the door to Zero Two cracked open. The magnetic seals on the door are completely fried, Sparks coming out. After opening the door he finds a crudely written note on a cut up paper on the ground.
"I'm gone, don't find me!
Love Claudia."
*BANG! BANG! BANG!* Zero One smashes the wall into the second room, showing himself to be more Deathclaw than human. His body is similar to a buff adult human male but covered in jet black scales, His head is completely Deathclaw, with a massive bomb collar around his neck. One dust rubble of his shoulder then picks the scientist by the arm. "Ready for your hug?"
The scientist pulls a remote out of his pocket, only to have his arm ripped off up to the shoulder by One. Blood splatters over the wall as the Scientist screams out in fear of his imminent demise. The struggle seems to excite the oversized killing machine, like a predator about to finish off its prey. "Alas, poor Dr. Moreau parting is such sweet sorrow!"
One lifts his victim over his head, slowly dropping him into his mouth. "NO, I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" Dr. Moreau screams before the top half of his body is eaten and his legs thrown aside. The ghoul's taste is not to One's liking, so he spits his gore out. "Rotten!" He finds the key to his collar stuck in his teeth.
Every other monster then howls from there cages, but none more than a Werewolf-like mutant. One walks past them all with a smile on his before pushing the button, setting his brethren free. All of the mutants now to their new overlord, the wolf howling again.
~Minutemen Castle~
General O'Reilly and the Jefferson Twins fly back to the castle, with Claudia the humanoid Deathclaw. Jimmy can't stop looking at her after seeing the uncanny resemblance to his late wife. Claudia herself is finding the attention uncomfortable, putting her hood back on, her scales turning pink in embarrassment.
Olivia smacks the general upside the head, annoyed at his behavior. "Jimmy I know she's cute for a Deathclaw, but you're kinda acting like a creep." The ghoulish beauty playfully chastised him, then noticed the picture of the family he lost two-hundred years ago. "Hay remember in Anchorage when I got shot by that Dragoon sniper?"
Jimmy can see that she is just trying to get his mind off of it, earning a relieved smile. "He somehow managed to miss anything vital but still knocked you on your rather nice ass." The guy jokes in a half-serious way, nudging her in the shoulder.
Olivia gives Jimmy a sassy grin at him complimenting her backside, blowing him a kiss. "Thanks for the compliment, I always aim to please!~" Her brother Johnny growns having to listen to this from the cockpit.
"It's Anchorage all over again, only without the potential infidelity this time." The disgruntled pilot utters sarcastically,
"After I woke up in the medical tent, I was told you carried me all the way back HQ yourself." Olivia laughs with a warm smile on her face, remembering how determined he was to keep her alive. "It was the kindest thing anyone has ever done for me." She then puts her hand over his, shows Jimmy rare vulnerability. "That made me feel special."
Then they both realized how close their faces are to each other, and quickly back away. "And our commanding officer nearly ripped me a new one for abandoning our post." The General quickly responds his face as red as a Tato. With the angle Olivia is leaning, he can see right down her shirt. "Come on Jimmy, you're a thirty-year-old man, not some clueless teenager."
Claudia turns around to look at them, completely clueless to what she sees. "I can smell your pheromones from here. Is it human mating season?" The Deathclaw hybrid asks innocently, causing Jimmy and Olivia to jump in shock.
Johnny, however, is laughing his ass off in the cockpit then coughing because of a two-hundred-year-old smoking habit. "No cutie, that's just those two being themselves."
The Vertibird lands with Heavy Commander Danse waiting for him, saluting. "Welcome back Sir!" As soon as he sees Claudia step out of the aircraft his old Brotherhood instincts kick in, aiming his laser rifle at her. Feeling threatened, Claudia extended her claws and turns a bright crimson. "I don't know what you are but you certainly look like a humanoid Deathclaw."
Jimmy stands in between the two before a bloodbath can begin. "Stand down Danse! She's with us!" He tells the power armored soldier, who immediately puts his gun away. Then Dense salutes the General, who returns the favor with one of his owns. "I get it, you can take the man out of the Brotherhood but you can't take the Brotherhood out of the man."
"Sir please forgive my insubordination!"
Jimmy playfully knocks on Dante's chest piece, tipping his triquarter hat. "You're just doing your job, but Claudia actually helped us fight off those raiders." Embarrassed Claudia's color turns a bright pink, pulling her hood over her face completely. She then hides behind the shorter Olivia, earning a chuckle from both Ghoul twins."She may be part Deathclaw but she can be downright adorable."
Danse approaches the Deathclaw, handing Jimmy his weapon."I apologize for my behavior, if the General approves of you then so do I." He offers his hand as a sign of comradery and acceptance."Welcome to the Minutemen, Miss Claudia."
Claudia sniffs his hand cautiously, then looks him in the eyes confused. "You look human but you don't smell like one." Everyone is taken aback by her statement before Jimmy pats her head with a nervous smile.
"That's because of Danse being in full Power Armor, You're probably smelling the oil." Then his stomach growls, alongside Claudia's own hunger. "Anyone else hungry?"
