CHAPTER 7. HOME AND TRAPS.
As ed and double d arived at the base they stopped before intering, edward went to an old refregerator that was sitting by one of the intrances to the junk yard that was half barred in random pices of scrap metal, He open it was to see a cercet bord with lights on it. you see a year ago edd came up with the idea of putting lazer tripwires around the base that lead to this, just incase every one had to leave for what ever resin. Luck was on there side it seemed as none of the lights where on.
After double d put the lid back on he told ed to head on in as they had a lot of work ahead of them. The first thing they did was start digging some holes and line the bottom of them with pices of sharpin scrap metal. This took about three hours to do and in that time while edward was only able to dig one hole and repair the two that were already there, Ed was able to make five six by five and 7 foot deep holes.
At that they stop to eat lunch as it was 12PM, after that they started to fix the armor that was on the base as the numbers used a hand held plazma tourch to cut though the door the other night. So double d started to use a old welder that was in the back room, while ed held it in place using his mutated muciles and a pice of leather that rolf sold to them about four months ago. This took about another two hours as the metal was strong but not veary thick, as if it was that thick they would have needed some thing more than a small blow tourch to cut though it.
The next thing on the list was too barry the mines that double d had made three days ago, but never got around to setting up as he was to bezy making rad away for rolf. This was some thing he didn't trust ed with doing as one wrong more and the big could be killed... maybe, so while double d was doing that ed was tasked with gathering the mattereals to take back to the kancer sisters base so edward could start making more traps. This took up the rest of the day as it was a slow prosses setting up the mines.
As they where heading back to their timparary home they heard it, the flapping on the wind, the sound of certant death for any out side and away from light. Double d had to stop walking as he heard the cart raddleing be hind him. Looking back he seen ed shaking like a old drunk that was high and dry from their liqued medacen.
"ed it's alright, well be in doors long before it gets dark and long before the flying death start their hunt." ed long time friend said to try and comfert the behemoth of a man.
In truth it was understandable as to why the strong ed boy was acting like this. A month after they all got the out of a shit hole that was the vault, ed and another acupent of the vault that became a frind with him, went out looking for supplies. The usaual food, drink and medacine but this time ed and the guy was late so they ran back during the sunset. They both got to the junk yard before the hunger attacked, they took one of eds arms that thankfuly regrew back after his mutation, but the the other guy was stuck seven feet from the door being ripped apart by those fucking monsters.
Ed looked at double d and noded, they then got to the sisters home a little faster than usaual. The only thing edward hopped was that eddy was alright as he wasn't there by the time they got back.
-that night.-
the two have been back for about a houre now, ed was off helping the girls with well what ever they needed really. Double d had been working on some traps to set up around the base back home, he so far had made about five of them and this one would be the last one for to night.
He then heared a "so what is that suppose to be?" coming from above him as he was sitting on the ground. Looking up he seen the middle child of the three sisters and the one that use to chase him down when they were younger marie.
"this is basicaly a claymore mine but instead of using gunpowder and led balls, it uses a exstreamly high powered spring and small sharpen blades that I dent to look like jaxs." double d said showing her one of the amoa that was used in it.
Marie got the small pice of metal carfuly as it looked veary sharp, she then looked up to edd and ask. "so do you think eddy is alright out there with those demons flying around."
"eddy should be fine out there, he had spent night dooring these times before and came back no worse for where." double d answered and thought how funny it was with how people change.
after the war ed became more foucase and as such no longer actide like a fool, eddy stop trying to rip people off and he lose most of his ocd and gem ofobia. But one of the biggest changes was with who the sisters liked now. Marie use to go after him, but it was now eddy hoe had here attention, lee use to be after eddy but now it was ed and finaly may used to be in love with ed and now it was him self. It was really too bad from the test he ran on him self and ed, it turned out both of them was no longer able to have kids any more.
Before any thing else could be said they heared lee yell that suppor was ready. So they went to eat and bed after that, as more work was ahead of them.
-the junk yard the day after next.-
the next day both ed and edd was still working on the traps, this time ed was putting back up the ropped activated traps and double d was working on his newly made spring blades in a place ed had already finished.
Double d was tired very tired, as ed kelp him up most of the night. It turned out the unfinished vault was very good at echoing the sounds from outside, in other words they could hear the hunger most of the night. It was funny the most scariest sound weren't them eating other animal's as usally most wild life now ether mighgrated some where else or digged under ground, now there was a few animals that even the hunger didn't try and mess with. No the worse of it was from them eating each other.
A few months back double d was able to capture a few of them and what he found out was strange. Despite them coming from birds they gave live birth, it also turned out that they had to eat over twice their body waight every day or they would die. Something edwared hopped would kill them out eventualy.
As double d kelp on working he heared a yell of. "hay ed boys you home or what." he instantly reconised that voice, it belonged to non other than keven. With that he got up to go and see what he wanted and also make sure the guy didn't spring any traps.
As edd came around the front, keven came in to view. Keven had on some old work pans and a blue butten up t shirt, his shews was nothing special just some plain leather boots. He still had on his old basseball cap, that was now falling apart and was being wared forwards now. The most eye catching thing about him was the fact his right arm was missing thanks to one of the guards back at the vault.
"wow rolf wasn't lying about you and ed. I'm sorry to see that happen to you two." keven said.
It was true right after they got out of the vault keven along with a paralized naz and a burned up jimmy got as far away from the vault as possible, and after the insadent that turned them in to what they are now eddy was the only one that got to see them. He was glad both eddy and keven changed in a good way. As keven was a lot nicer now, it was probable because of all the crap he had to go though in the vault aling with watching over naz.
"well thanks I guess, so what brings you here with one of rolfs horses?..." double d ask as right beside keven was what use to be a horse but was now a 8" tall monster with poinsend hairs that could act like spikes and a 5" long tail that was more like a wip than a tail. Where it's hoofs use to be were now more like the claws of some like of bird.
"i'm here to unload some things on you as rolf, told me to. Some thing about a paying you and eddy back or some thing." keven replide.
With that double yelled for ed and after they unloaded it on eds cart keven went back too the farm to help rolf. A few hourse latter before they leaft to go by to the kancers vault they seen eddy walking up in power armor of all theing with the bigest shit easting grin they ever seen.
A/N. Little more boring than the last chapter but it needed to be made, Also another thing reviled about the vault. I'm thing about doing a flash back chapter next as I close in on this story having as many chapters as my other one...
any way I hope you liked it.
