" Ok question" Demi took a swig from the bottle of beer she found in the tavern, letting the glass bottle come to rest on the table as he looked over at Alex who drank from her own. It was dark out now, and Jessikah was still gone. While Demi wasn't complaining, she did wish she could hurry up. The beer tasted like raw arse, and there wasn't much left. "I tell ya the all points is brutal, what are we going to now?"
"Well," Alex took a drink of her own beer, sighing after she did. "You seem to enjoy it."
"Silver linin', right?" Demi's attention was drawn by bright, orange light behind him. The ganger turned to see Jessikah had returned, shaking her head as she walked right past them, and deeper into the propaganda center. "Oi, Jess, you got something for us or…?"
"Huh? Oh, right, I think i might have a way out for us. In the meantime we need to get a ride."
"And here I thought we'd be forced to run everywhere," Zelda commented, getting to her feet. "Just tell us where to go. Beats sitting around here all day."
"Amen to that, sister—"
"Don't call me sister you fuck." Demi just chuckled again. She was gonna enjoy messing with Zelda. Demi hopped to her feet and tossed her bottle away, collecting her sword and checking it.
"Sister Princess has a point," She grinned at her fuming expression. "Where do we go?"
"A Kharadon Overlords in Innsmouth is a good start."
"…well, let's get running. Sooner we do this, the sooner we get some a ride."
"Agreed, old man." Jessikah teased and got moving, followed by Zelda and Alex. She wasn't looking forward to the run.
Jessikah was…she wasn't sure how to feel. She and the others were standing outside the scrapyard in the ruins of the old Malfactories, watching someone dispatch a bandit in a messy, but amusing fashion…someone who was…well, being nice, big.
"Oh, hey, you folks are untamed beasts, right?" She had a rich, Southern drawl to her voice, the woman visibly quaking as she turned to look at them, smiling warmly. "I'm Ellie, good to meet'cha. Y'all here to get a ride, right? Or," Ellie looked over at Demi and flashed a sharp grin. "Y'all come here for something else?" Alex was finding utter delight also in the look of pure fear in Demi's eyes, though it was clear she wasn't gonna get far if she ran, courtesy of Jessikah's hand being clamped down on her shoulder.
"To get a ride, yes," Zelda spoke up. "But we were not informed that you would be so…ravishing."
…eh?
"Well thank you! Glad someone appreciates a girl with a lil' thickness, if ya catch m'drift."
Ellie was…well she was big alright, but she certainly wasn't thick.
Regardless, the large woman hobbled off, directing them to follow as Jessikah stepped forward.
Jessikah heard yet another explosion as she flew the small Kharadon gunner ship back to their base, looking over her shoulder to see Alex, still in the gunner seat, yelling loudly as she fired the rocket launcher again, turning enemies into nothing but spare parts and bits. Demi and the Zelda were unaccounted for, mainly because Demi had informed Jessikah she was going to get some weapons while they brought the vehicle back to the base. It wasn't a far flight, but Jessikah was taking all the detours she could, namely, to let Alex have her fun in blowing apart anything that dared to get within shooting distance, and considering the Alex's aim, that was far.
"WOO! Another dead fuck!" Jessikah found the Alex's laughter contagious, chuckly earnestly to herself as she finally brought the car where it needed to be, hearing Alex begrudgingly disembark from it as the vehicle.
"Looked like you were having a lot of fun out there, weren't you?" Jessikah asked.
"Yeah, sorta…sorta a bad habit from my days working with Nurgle and Tzeentch. With the sort of stuff they had us doing, it's good to find fun wherever you can so you don't lose your shit and go crazy."
"And you find amusement in blowing things apart?"
"Yep. Ain't healthy, but…y'know, is anything in this city healthy?"
"Awwww, are we interruptin' a bonding moment?" The Leader glanced over to see Demi pull her own Ride into the base, hopping out along with Zelda.
"No, just two girls having a pleasant talk, you fuck waffle." Alex spat. Demi just grinned once again.
"Ah, gotta try harder with your insults, Sister. Anyhow, Princess 'n I secured some info
"The next shipment is in 3 days."
Jessikah was going to fight them for that weapon. Fight them and win.
The Inheritors the set out to locate the Sun Smashers gang. The gang apparently found the Map, and had planned to offer it to the Cawdor's to gain entry into their "happy family".
Advancing with the others, Demi was surprised to find Innsmouth in…well ruins. Not like it was abandoned, but as if it were assailed and attacked.
This theory was proven when they could see some chaos daemons walking around.
"Shit, daemons got the town? Damn…get after them. Last thing we need is them." Zelda heard Jessikah's voice. Demi and the others were already rushing in, the Zelda doing the same, but at a belated pace, namely to take pot shots at the daemons, killing them swiftly as Zelda heard…yelling. Not frantic screaming, but like someone calling for help. The princess proceeding down a rocky path to…reach a most welcoming sight.
The Kharadon Overlords and their Arkanuat irongate ship.
"Oh, hey, can you give us a hand?"
"…and just who are you?" The dwarf guard asked. "Are you with those daemons?"
"Oh, no, me and my friends are trying to get out of the all points, we were told you could help us."
"Ok" the Dwarf captain stepped closer. "We have one condition ok?"
" Which are?" Jessi asked, she, Alex and Demi joining Zelda. " You have to help defend the ship during travel" the captain replied.
"What?." Alex's eyes widened.
" We can do that " Demi said, " Yes we can " Zelda agreed.
" Well then, Welcome aboard " the captain answered, a few hours later the Irongate ship took off into the sky along with some Gunner ships, Jessi, Alex, Demi and Zelda on board. The four stood on the deck, watching as the All Points slowly getting smaller as the ship flew higher into the sky.
