Candice turned to Kate, "Trust me, if he's real and standing there then shits about to go down."
"In a good way?"
"Maybe."
"I thought you said he definitely was real?"
"Yeah but some people may lie and exaggerate and most either believe that its multiple people under one name or that Its-"
Before Candice could finish a thundering gunshot sounded and a raider's head erupted into a pink-red mist of skull fragments and blood. All eyes in the market turned on the stranger, holding his smoking barrelled rifle pointing at where the raiders head had been. It took some raiders a double-take and others were just purely shocked that someone would do that within Nuka-World, and by the time any of them realized what they needed to do the stranger was already picking them off one by one. They also soon realized that all the weapons on the stall were gone and lasers, plasma and lead was flying out in all directions from the wooden stall. As these events were taking place, Kate and Candice moved around to the other side of the stall and were peeking their heads out to watch the chaos unfold.
After a few minutes of rapid shooting and shouting, it all suddenly stopped. The raiders waited, looking for any sign of life behind the bullet ridden stall. But there was none. The raiders came out from cover and slowly approached the stall. Kate and Candice lifted their heads out from behind the stall completely to see whether the stranger had been hit or killed. The atmosphere grew tense as the first raiders started inching their way around the sides of the stall. Then they did it, they jumped out around to the other side of the stand and started blindly firing into the back board. After 5 seconds of full auto fire they stopped. The sawdust and dirt cleared out the air to reveal... Nothing. Until they peered down.
Sat on the floor in front of them was a small detonable explosive devise, not a major issue on its own, but with plasma cartridges and rockets duct taped to the side it became a rather large issue. BOOM! The stand was gone, the raiders around it, also gone and bits of raiders and plasma goo were raining down from the sky. Kate felt a tap on the shoulder, she span around a swung a punch.
"You should really look before you swing." It was the stranger and Kate's fist had just smashed into the side of his cold, steel helmet.
"Fuck!" Kate squealed in agony to the feeling of punching metal and the surprise that the stranger was alive. He was crouching and in his hands he held a weird looking device.
"A stealth boy!" Candice exclaimed "That's so cool. I'm Candice by the way."
"Nice to meet you Candice. Yeah, I got the stealth boy a while back at rivet city and it's saved my ass on several occasions." The stranger replied, surprised at the technical knowledge of the slave girl. He turned to Kate who was clasping her right hand with her left. "What's your name?" He asked.
"Kate, and what about you because 'Redstar' can't be your real name. Can it?"
"It is well, at least back in the NCR they used to call me Redstar because when they found me as a baby all that I was left with was a red star bottle cap. But my friends used to call me Sam." Redstar explained.
"Ok Sam what's the plan?"
"What do you mean?"
"You have plan right?"
"No, I usually just make it up as I go and I wasn't exactly expecting to have to save a bunch of slaves."
"Seriously?"
"Yup, so grab your shit quick because I ain't waiting here forever."
"Yeah, we don't exactly have shit to grab." Candice interrupted.
Sam replied with a smirk "Look around you, this part of the world is briefly your oyster." After getting blank looks from both girls he quickly added "Grab whatever you want!" The girls then looked at each other briefly, then took off.
