She ran towards her house and saw the flying robot she knew as cosworth, "HEY COSWORTH IT'S ME DO YOU REMEMBER!? ITS ME AKIRA,COSWORTH". The robot turned around and saw one of it's masters and headed towards her which wasn't a lot because she really run fast so she got close to him. "As I live and breath... I haven't seen your beautiful face in such a long time that if i could cry i woul-" "Cosworth shut up and listen to me" she said rudely interrupting, " THEY KILLED NATE AND KIDNAPPED SHAUN!", "Oh my thats terrible news and who is they?", "I don't know, all I know is that somebody has Shaun right now and I have to find him,WHY WOULD THEY KIDNAPPED MY BABY?" , "Miss Nora Don't you think that Shaun might've passed away?". At that moment she wanted to break the machine right infront her to little pieces for saying such a thing to a mother. She would've broke him there if it wasn't for the fact that she was feeling a bit dizzy. She didn't really care for Cosworth, he was a robot and she was human, she always saw it like that and she thought it was weird of Nate to buy him but she let it pass. Most of the time Cosworth would say corny and bland jokes that Akira found very annoying but never told Nate."Umm Miss are you listining ?" "huh what?" trying to stay focus, "I ask how are you still around? The bombs were dropped over 200 years ago? Wouldn't all of you have passed away?". "What did you just say? 200 YEARS! NO THAT CAN'T BE! I saw them Take shaun away as a baby, but that would mean... No, Cosworth You're wrong, He's alive and somewhere and I'm gonna bring him back", "If you say so Miss, and I will Fully support you and I'll tag along if you want" said cheerfully the optimistic robot. "uh no Cosworth, stay here just tell me if there is people in Concord that might be able to help me?" asked Akira. "ummm Not that I know of, however I've been shot at multiple times by some raiders so I suggest be careful". "raiders?... whatever, thanks Cosworth, I'll be back" she said as she started to walk away. "be careful Mum" Cosworth said as he turned away and started doing his own things. Akira froze as soon as she heard those words and replied to Cosworth in an evil vibe and still looking straight forward, "Don't ever call me Mum again".
"I apologies Miss, I promise to carefully choose my words next time" a bit shook on how angry she got from that
She continued to walk towards her destination when she was feeling dizzy again and remembered the bite mark on her neck. Her ego got the best of her and decided not to go back to Cosworth and to tough it out. She is walking towards Concord and sees where she grew up is now empty and broken. The Red Rocket Truckstop is empty which is a sight she barely ever saw, any car she spotted was either broken or rust to the point where the orange color looks like it was sprayed on. She finally reaches Concord and was about to yell for anybody for help but then was stopped as soon as she heard bullets being fired. She quickly went looking for cover behind a building. She peeked her head out so she can see what was happening and saw a bunch of raiders shooting the top of the museum that use to be there. Screaming at somebody apparently.
"KEEP HIDING PUSSIES! NOT SO TOUGH WITHOUT YOUR PRECIOUS LITTLE MINUTEMEN, HUH?HAHAHAHA"
"HA, TELL THEM BOSS"
"YEAH BLOW THEIR FUCKING HEADS OFF"
Hearing all the raiders yelling made her panicked for a second but she decided to stay calm and take out her pistol and get ready if they would notice her. She heard a weird noise and saw a laser killing one of the raiders. Very surprised that weapons like this would still exist in the world. One by one she saw all the bodies being dropped, not wanting to end up like the rest of them she decided to put her gun away and ask if the person on the roof could help her.
"HEY I'M NOT TRYING TO HURT YOU I'M JUST TRYING TO LOOK FOR SOMEBODY"
With her hands in the air she was hoping that the person wasn't a psycho.
"GET THAT LASER MUSKET ON THE FLOOR AND GET IN HERE" was all the man said.
"well atleast I know it's a man" Akira told herself.
She picked up the crafty weapon from the floor and went on inside, when she opened the door she saw nobody but could hear some raiders screaming and shooting, she starts to sneakly make her way to the top floor. Most of the travel she saw that the floor was decorated with raider's bodies, Whoever they were trying to kill obviously had skill. So far she hasn't used her gun but when she makes it to the top floor she sees a raider trying to push down a door and she starts to aim at his back. Out of no where she starts to have a flashback of her past and sees a woman staring at her with dark pitched black eyes, the type of stuff you see in scary movies. she shakes her head tries to concentrate on the person infront of her and fires her gun, she misses and now the crazy man turn around and started shooting towards her. She quickly finds cover.
"I CAN SEE YOU HAHAHA, YOU'RE DEAD BITCH, YOU HEAR ME? DEA-"
before the man can finished his sentence his head explodes due to taking a laser shot to the back of his head.
"You can come out now, he won't be a problem just like I'm hoping for you as well"
Slowly standing up she sees the tall man in a funny uniform and just looking at him with a plank face
"umm thank you. Who are you?"
"My name is Preston Garvey and I'm a Minutemen, well at least probably the last one. Based by that blue outfit of yours I'm guessing you're a vault dweller"
All Akira could think was of the name Minutemen, the last time she heard that was when she was at school and for somebody to say that name hundreds of years later was astounding to her.
"What do you mean last one? Aren't there more of you? You out here by yourself?"
"It's a long story but yes I am the last one and I'm with some people but they're not fighters, they need protections and I'm here to lend a hand".
Akira was grateful that he saved her but she thought the act of helping some random people in a live or death situtation was stupid but she decided to keep this to herself.
"We can use your help" added Preston
"With what?"
"if you can hack the terminal downstairs and get the door open so we can get the fuison core that powers the Museum and put it on the power Armor we found upstairs."
She didn't really want to put he did save her live so the least she can do was this for them
"sure, I'll do it"
"Great, lets get to it" added Preston
She finds her way downstairs and was able to hacked easily and got the fuison core and started to head up stairs when again she starts to feel dizzy.
"Damn I have to ask him if he has any medicine like stimpaks or something"
She makes her way upstairs and finally sees everybody else, she doesn't bother to say hi to anybody other than one guy named sturgess who seems alright. She walks with him and Preston to the roof for the Power Armor and as soon she sees it she wonders what they saw in it. Sure it was Power Armor but it was really rusty and didn't like Power Armor, she thought it slows you down and you're not as flexable which was her way of fighting. But since she was the weakest one out of the trio she got in it for her own protection. They saw a bunch of raiders coming their way, angry that the other ones didn't come back with goods. preston started shooting and so did Sturgess.
"Quck jump down and take them out too", Preston demanded
"Are you crazy?! I'm not jumping down" Akira replied with a bit of anger in her voice
"You're wearing Power Armor, you won't get any type of damage,Trust me".
she stared at the street floor for a moment and then didn't know what got into her but she jumped and instantly regretted it but when she landed she felt almost zero pain other than a minor viberation and out of no where she got an adrenaline and started to run towards the raiders and punching them and started running them over like a bull. She felt Protected again and it made her happy, for a second she was getting amused by seeing her enemies getting hurt. She turned around to look up at Preston, waving at him when she heard some metal clank and turned around to see one of the most terrifying things she will ever come to see face to face. She didn't know what it was until preston screamed out "DEATHCLAW". she tried to run away from it but it was no use, the monsters claws grabbed her and tossed her in the air like a toy. She thought the Armor would protect her but it didn't, The Claws of this thing were razor sharp and cut through the rusted metal. The beast weas now on top of her and she She tried to throw desperate punches at it but it just angered the beast even more. Preston and Strugess tried to use the mini gun that was attached to the broken vertibird on the roof which was the original plan with the Power Armor but in the heat of the moment they forgot. Preston when running down the stairs to help fight the beast while Strugess tried to shoot the damn thing with the minigun but there wasn't an angle where he could fire without killing his new friend. Meanwhile Akira was getting destroyed, the beast broke the helmet and she turned her face to the sides so the beast doesnt blind her with its claws. Preston finally got outside and and started shooting the Deathclaw and the beast turn it's attentions towards him and gets off of Akira and that's when sturgess was able to fill the monster with all of the mini gun's ammunation and preston shooting it as well. It seems the beast was previously injured because it died after a few moments of non stop shots at it stomach. They saw Akira trying to speak to them.
"get... me.. to sanctuary" akira said with the voice of a person with their last words of their life
"Help me get her out of this Power Armor. We're gonna save her!"
"We're leaving the Armor?" Sturgess added
"YES NOW LETS GO" Preston saying it in a furious tone
Akira before passing out ,"Not now...Not when i just came back to life"
so now the crew is going to Sanctuary for their new home or for another person's burial site?
