Vee smirked and shifted her position on the table ready to watch the scene play out in front of her. "Oh this is gonna be good." She mumbled.
Jen came walking down the stairs with her arms folded and looking like nothing was wrong, but behind her Jinx was walking down with a large cut on his hand and his shirt and pants were ripped.
"What the hell happened to you?" Torn asked looking Jinx up and down. "And what the hell are you doing here?"
"Her damn leepa attacked me!" Jinx yelled showing off a few cuts and then pointing to Jen whose eyebrows were raised and she seemed to be looking everywhere but at the people in the room.
"Ain't my fault he hates you." Jen said looking away and playing with a strand of her hair.
"But why are you here?" Torn asked harshly.
"Look, I know the two of us ain't exactly been the best'a friends." Jinx said.
"Got that right," Torn mumbled.
"But, I hate the Baron just as much as you do! I want that bast'rd dead. Can't do it alone and I know that, that's why I came 'ere to help you guys out. And before ya say anythin' else I am sorry fer eveythin' I did to ya when we were kids. I mean come on, man, we were kids."
Torn glared at him for a second but then his expression softened ever so sightly. "Still got that stupid accent, huh?"
Jinx smirked and took a drag from his cigar. "Well ya still gargle with nails, huh?"
"Aw, now ain't that a sweet reunion." Vee said still sitting on the table now swinging her legs.
"Shut up." Jinx said. "I don't even know who you are do I?"
"No you do not, names Veronica." She said sticking her hand out.
Jinx accepted, "Names Jinx, nice t' meet 'cha."
"Well now that we got all that over with…" Vee said and turned to Jen who was still looking the other way. "Why is King here?"
"Oh come on, you know I can't leave him behind." Jen said smiling. "Besides he can help us, he's quick ya know."
"Ya bought a leeper into Haven City… Ain't that just sayin' hey we're wastelanders come kill us now?" Vee asked with a confused look on.
"Don't worry, he is perfectly well hidden. Nobody's gonna see him." Jen said brushing it off.
"Oh okay then," Vee said shrugging. "So, who's up for shots? It's on Torn!"
"Hey!" Torn yelled turning away from Jinx. "We can't go out drinking now, we have a war to fight here! You haven't been here for the past few years things have gone to hell, we can't afford to waste time like that."
"You haven't changed a bit," Jen said. "More tattoos… but still the same 'ol Torn."
Torn gave everyone sour looks as he walked over to the table and they all turned to face him as he moved, Vee was turning on the table and when she turned around fully she was sitting with her legs crossed. Torn was studying the maps on the table for a few seconds until he noticed everybody still staring at him. "Don't any of you have anything better to do then stare at me?"
"No." "Not really." "Can't say I do." They all answered in unison.
Torn sighed until his communicator went off and they heard a voice over it. "Torn! Get down here in Haven Forest we have a serious metal head problem!" It sounded like he was trying to say more but there was static then the communicator went dead.
"Well sounds like we all have something to do now." Torn said and he rushed out of the hideout already equipped with his weapons. The others fallowed quickly behind him they already had their guns on them as well.
The four hopped on their zoomers they came on and speed off to Haven Forest. It took a bit of time to get there as it wasn't the closest place to the hideout. But soon they arrived at the entrance the gates slide open and the group ran through and jumped in the warp gate. When they finally reached Haven Forest they saw metalheads running every which way, only about five men were their and they were struggling. Torn immediately began firing his gun along with the others.
Metalheads were ganging up on them, Torn eventually gave up on his gun because it jammed while firing. He was slashing and stabbing at the metalheads fiercely, it was a good thing he was good with a knife. The only downside to only using a knife was the fact it took longer to kill and guns were faster. He twisted the knife in a metalhead killing it but while killing that one he failed to notice the metalhead sneaking up behind him.
The metalhead jumped and tackled Torn to the ground, Torn let out a grunt as the claws dug into his back. Turning onto his back and flipping the metalhead off Torn dug the dagger into it's gut. He held it before ripping it out and having a dead metalhead practically falling on him. Torn stood up and looked around, he heard a large gun going off and looked over, he saw Vee with her favorite gun out, she loved excuses to use it. Torn rolled his eyes at the large smile on her face when she fired and blew things away, no doubt Tess fixed that up for her.
Torn heard another one come up from behind when he went after it, it ducked down and he slash it's back but due to it's armor it did nothing. It lunged for him again and when it hit him Torn dug the dagger in it's chest and the metalhead landed on him dead. He huffed and pushed the corpse off himself. Looking around he saw Jinx throwing small explosives at the metalheads, while he was throwing them one way he was completely open on his back. Torn saw a metalhead coming to him and pounce on his back. With his guns jammed he ran toward him, Jinx couldn't set a explosive off with the metalhead on top of him, he would blow himself up in the process. Torn ran over and pushed the metalhead to try and get to its underbelly, in the process he received a large scratch across the face. But eventually he managed to stab it directly in the heart.
He pushed the body away and brought a hand up to his face and winced at the long deep gashes. Jinx sat up as well breathing hard, half shirt was torn off in the front and he had large gashes covering his torso. "Thanks, man." He said holding his chest with one arm.
"I hate you." Torn said as he got up and walked away.
Jinx raised an eyebrow at him and got up as well, he looked around and saw a few other of the men that were there before took out the last of the metalheads and everybody was coming together by a stream where they were all cleaning out various injuries.
"Damn Torn…." Jen said looking at the number of injuries Torn had, he by far had the most.
"Shut up," he said and he began cleaning scratches off his chest first.
"Oh Torn…." Vee said as she walked over and stuck her arm in the cool water to clear out one long gash. "Oooo hope those gashes don't mess up your face." She said and looked at his face. "How can you keep your eye open, it practically ripped your eyelid in two." Torn looked up at her and she put one arm up in defense. "Sorry."
He moved onto his face and splashed the water over them and winced as the water made the gashes sting.
"Hey, Torn." He looked up and saw a man with possibly more injuries then himself, but he could tell they weren't to deep. "Almost thought you guys wouldn't show up, we were really gettin' wasted."
"I can tell." Torn said.
"So, uh, who's all these other people new members of what?" He said.
"'Ey, we 'ave names." Vee said before she went back to cleaning her arm.
"Guess you could say that, this is Veronica-" she shot him a look, "or Vee rather… over there that's Jen. Both of them old friends from guard training and that's Jinx, old enemy. Good thing they showed too, all my men are out, if they weren't there it would have only of been me coming and trying to get a hold of everyone else."
"Yeah, it is a good thing. But anyway, come on, we better get you back to the hideout before you pass out." He said and grabbed Torns arm to try and get him up.
"No, I'll be fine." Torn said as he pulled his arm away.
"He's right, man, ya look pretty bad, maybe ya should go back. Can't 'ave ya dyin' on us 'ere." Jinx said.
"I said I'll be fine."
Jinx shook his head and took a glance at the gashes on his back bleeding freely and the ones on his face still bleeding even though he washed them out.
Torn took a deep breath, he was getting light headed. Dammit, he could pass out just from a little blood loss. Maybe he should start heading back. Making up his mind he stood a little shakily but shook it off. "Come on, we're going back to the hideout. Try and figure out where these bastards came from."
"They came from their mommies." Jen said from the back being her usual smart ass self.
"Shut up!" Torn said and the group left Haven Forest.
They each picked up their zoomers outside , each getting strange looks from pedestrians due to their wounds. But they all ignored it. About half way back Torns zoomer started getting shaky, he blinked hard and tried to focus but he couldn't. He saw a little bit of red as the gash above his eyebrow began to bleed again and blood ran into his eye. He was taking deep breaths and eventually couldn't stay conscious any longer, without him controlling it his zoomer lost control and slammed head on into a wall blowing up on contact.
The rest of them nearly crashed their zoomers or did crash them trying to avoid the explosion. When the dust cleared the Underground members rushed over to see if their fallen leader and friend was okay and still living.
