Part 15:
The four Paladins marched inside to the Alrington Library,it was dark and poorly lit with sunlight shining through the gaps of the ceiling. Paladin Hawkin ordered her troops "Parker and Jones, take the front, Nikita, switch to your Chinese assault rifle and guard the rear with me." The soldiers obeyed the order and came in formation.
"Check the corners. Raiders are some sneaky little fuckers." Paladin Hawkins warned her subordinates as they walk deeper and deeper into the library lobby. No raiders can be seen within the parameter of the first floor. "ok, Paladins, spread out, Jones, stay at the lobby and report on any unusual activity. Nikita, Children's wing. Parker and I will check out the Media archive, remember not to damage any terminals or books within the library. Keep communication to a minimum level and regroup to the lobby at 0900. Is that understood?" said Paladin Hawkins. The paladins nodded their heads and began to spread out and scout the area.
Paladin Nikita was walking up the stairs in order to reach the Children's ring and she was very disgruntled towards the assignment that was given to her, she thought to herself "This mission is absolute horseshit, I should be out there fighting with my brothers and killing some Enclaves, not here to clean drug addicts off the building and make it safe enough for Scribes to look for their shits. Not to mention that I am cleaning up the children's ring, because, yes, scribes are looking for Cinderella and her seven dwarves and all the other bullshits that would help us win the war." Her thoughts were interrupted by a door being busted open right next to her, it was a raider, who was wearing a *** armor, and he shouted with excitement "Looky here guys! Fresh meat! AHAHAHAHA!"as he took out a combat knife and lunged at Paladin Nikita. Paladin took a side step to avoid the stabbing attack and repay the raider with a hard blow to the head with her left fist. The raider staggered and could no longer laugh as his jaw was broken from the punches. "You FACKAR!" he screamed as he attempted to cut the paladin with a side swing to the left. Paladin Nikita ducked backwards to avoid the attack and give the raider's torso a powerful frontal kick, knocking the raider to the wall and Paladin Nikita took up her Chinese assault rifle and filled the raider full of bullet holes. She then turned around and see three more raiders were coming to her way, one of the raider was holding a sledge hammer, the one in the middle wore a blast master armor and was holding a flame thrower and the one on the left was carrying a Chinese officer sword, the one with the Chinese officer sword swung the sword wildly, slashing everything in his path, Paladin Nikita saw an opening and hit the raider's chin with the butt of the gun and as soon as the raider fell, he took aim and shot at the raider who ran towards her with a sledge hammer. But the time Nikita took to take down the raiders, she was within the firing range of the flame thrower. With the sound of flame being exhaled from the flame thrower, Nikita ducked down and ran inside the room the first raider came in. However, it was too late, her legs were caught by the flames, she fell on the floor and held her rifle towards the door, preparing for any attack. Another raider rushed inside the room with a tire iron and lunged towards the paladin. Paladin Nikita shot 4 times at the raider before he laid dead on top of her. And then the same raider with the flame thrower marched in, and she took aim at Paladin Nikita…
