This one will be a long fic with a lot of chapters, I already write the concepts. Since I don't play as Nora in Fallout 4 because Nate for me is the real protagonist the personalities and ideas are pretty fanbased from another fanfics I read
If you are very very very delighted with one fic and want a continuation I didn't write or post you can donate me at least $5 bucks, most of this fics have next chapters I don't finish because lack of motivation but hey a $5 is a $5, I see a few reviews and coments that fics that are abandoned months laters receive coments of wanting to know what happends next. Here it is, I finished my handling with you all, enjoy the fic
Nora didn't have a team officially, she didn't make her own unit but truth is that she always picked paladins, not that they were many but most of the times she went off for a brotherhood job she took at least one with her
The airport received a distress signal from a patrol squad and she decided to take 4 paladins in power armors because:
"Uhhh that's bad…that's a Deathclaw zone…we are lucky they still have the locator, lets go and help them inmediatly, Deathclaws are intelligent and they will find a way to corner them"
So she went away in a power armor with a team, right before Maxson could invite her for some breakfast together. The woman always sippled from his hands.
Truth is they were ambushed at arriving, not by the soldiers, not by humans but for fucking Deathclaws.
The ventibird that was letting the five on the ground was attacked while landing, a pair of Deathclaws jumped on top making it crash on the groud making the transport unusuable, at least it didn't explode
Nora of course did his best to save the pilot of the ventibird. Put him safe with the paladins and then make the ventibird explode to kill the Deathclaws on top of it, trowing some granades and shooting at their heads.
Well that's a great way to start the morning.
Now they were in the middle of a Deathclaw area, all by themselves and having to protect the pilot…they followed the signal, so they can all go home.
-We are trying to reach a team of five more…it's a great responsibility so I hope they have guns, gentlemen take our your miniguns…I need 3 on the back and 3 on the front…
The signal came from what they were seeing was the…inside of a cave…
-I do not encourage to continue this mission inside the power armors sentinel, too much weight and normally caves are all muddy and wet, we can cause damages on the surface we are standing.
Nora thought for a minute, he was right.
-Can at least two of us go with power armors? One on the front and one on the back, I believe we are going to be surrounded by a pack –she threw that information like a bomb, but they have the right to know what they were getting into –I been trapped in a tower not so far from here by a couple of Deathclaws…and before we were ambushed so I believe this family…this pack of Deathclaws have a plan for the humans that will come for the ones they trapped.
-That's ridiculous, why are we risking ourselves then? By now the patrol squad should be inside the beasts stomachs!
-Well the watches that locate them also monitor their heart beats and…the pulse changes…moves, do things, its different, its human, I believe is human, and they just send the signal this morning so it didn't pass much time…they are worth the risk at this point
Another paladin talk, not wanting to go against the sentinel.
-She believes that they are still alive, this is not a suicide mission just for bodies
Still, the paladin think this was crazy, no matter if they were well equipped and the best the Brotherhood can offer.
The six of them enter as a group divided on two, a sentinel in a power armor with fragmentation mines since her habilities with explosives were well know, and two paladins with miniguns at her side and in the back, facing the entrance of the cave, a paladin in power armor with a rocket launcher, the pilot with a laser rifle and another paladin with a laser rifle.
It was dark but not completely, there was mushrooms creating light all over the place and there was also the lights on the helmets and the suit, one of each of their teams were looking at the ground to see if the steps were affecting the ground or not, after all caves were not always 100% rock…most were really cristalized clay. The ceilings were…high, pretty high actually, much more than you can expect from the outsides, it was the tipical cave with spike formations but with really long spike shapes
Not so far from the entrance, both teams started to hear the actual distress signal from the patrol squad, the real device.
Incredibly, the six slurped saliva in expectation.
It didn't sound from far and they spected it wasn't cave down or that would be a problem.
-Prepare yourselfs Paladins, for a fight, pilot stay as a backup, never in frontline
-Yes sentinel –the pilot of the ventibird responded with the laser rifle
-Stay in silence, in total silence
She order, and as advancing a little further, not much steps…they found them, they fucking found them, none talked as the sentinel said, but for some reason, the team of five also didn't talk, didn't move, just looked at them, terrorized, hugging to each other in the same position sitting in the ground all together.
Nora stopped, and everyone also did.
She used the time to listen, to study the surroundings, and since both groups were too far from each other she decided to trow some fragmentation mines to the ground, secure a line in front of them, separating
And just when the first beep of the mines sounded, something heavy crushed on the groud in front of them and the line, something with horns and tremendous claws, something unnatural.
-I fucking knew it –Nora said and trow a grenade at the monster, starting the battle.
She cant imagine the fear of the paladins when that beast landed in front of them but she wished for the well being of everyone that they can respond quick so that cave wouldn't be their tumb.
The fragmentations mines exploded in the Deathclaw feet as part of the explosion of the grenade in the monster face, making it scream loudly. Everyone with a gun started to shoot at it, moving around, doing circles around the beast to stun it.
-Patrol squad! Move move move! –screamed the pilot –come here with us!
The leader of the squad encouraged them to move as fast as possible crawling, not around the soldiers but around the tail of the beast until sentinel Nora pulled out a Shishkebab and started beating the Deathclaw on the arms and legs, the skin was hard to penetrate with something that really didn't have a sharp but it was indeed hurting him and also giving light to the place, but the beast wont go back no matter how much damaged he received
-Becarefull at going out, get inside your power armors as soon you are out!
5 people without arms where a lot of responsibility but the two paladins and the pilot help them to run away but…
4 more Deathclaws were waiting for them at the entrance at the cave, all different sizes and colors, they were as sentinel Nora said, a pack, with a plan to attract more humans and ambush them to feed the entire family.
If it wasn't because the squad was actually alive and well, the paladins thought this was indeed a suicide mission.
The three of them started shooting with the miniguns scaring away the beasts but the ammunition wasn't infinite and they were barely getting shot as they runned and hide in the nature, close enough to attack in group if they wanted to come out but far enough to get hurt.
A mini rocket was launched, not much damage, the beast screamed but also shake his head like it was nothing
-We have to leave this one behind and go help! -said a paladin, still focused on blinding the beast.
-Go with them! Ill manage! –she said and both obeyed, if she wanted their human non protected bodies away was because she was going take out some powder…
And indeed, she started trowing every fucking thing in her pocket that could explode, gamma, pulse, the cryogenic ones that barely do anything…also the Molotov cocktails.
The beast eventually run away, but not because it was feeling his life in danger, it had other way to get out and that situation and it was going to get reunited with the ones on the gateway of the cave for sure. Nora run to meet up with the other soldiers and started trowing all the Molotov cocktails around to make a ring of fire, Deathclaws weren't afraid of fire exactly but she needed the distraction at least.
-Theres five of them sentinel!
-Im going out to distract them, I want you all paladins getting inside your power armors, the rest of you use the weapons to cover them
It was indeed, a suicide mission.
All obeyed, unable to think in a better idea than following her orders.
She was going to fall in the hands of the devil with a stick that make fire only to protect them.
-Ill fire rockets to the feets
-Alright! Ad Victoriam soldiers!
That would be a part of the record that Arthur will repass and repeat all over and over how she jumped practically to be eated for demons to give them a chance to get inside the power armors, if it wasn't talking about her he would thought it was something made up, like fantasy
Unveliable.
She run off the cave, and as soon the Deathclaws divised the other 4 soldiers coming out two went to attack, but Nora pushed them like she was playing rugby to a side, making the five of them scream angry at her.
Shit she was in so much trouble now
That hurt a lot, Deathclaws weight much more than her even in the power armor, it make her all woozy and it hurted to move all.
She started to run, run around the soldiers, the ones who had fire power and have to shoot at them unlike Nora who was being the bait.
Two Deathclaws were chaising her, trying to corner her, the other 3 were just screaming around looking at the show.
One of the patrol scribes hoped they weren't calling for more.
-We aren't doing them any shit –said one, trowing a ventibird sign away from the fight was taking place so the smoke wont bother –we need sky backup –they were so chill because no Deathclaw was receiving any real damage, that family was just playing with them.
The paladins in their power armors started to fight the Deathclaws, with that on mind Nora keep trowing explosives away and all around, most of them moved away but one loose a hand, screaming like crazy making the bodies of all the present resonate by the echoes of the howl.
At some point, a couple of young slim Deathclaws started to play with Nora, pushing her like a toy, passing it from one to another, the only thing that saved her from suffering internal damage from the intense blows and shoves was the power armor.
One of the scribes wanted to puke, it was horrible, she had never felt so tiny and defenseless.
A sentinel in a power armor was no more than a rag doll to some child beast, the agility of the power armor of course was compromised and it was difficult for her to stand up, specially being pushed and bounced like it...
One of the paladins could swear like he see a smirk and a laught from one of the…apparently fathers, like they really were intelligent.
In one moment, surprising everyone, including the beasts who shouted in group at them, Nora was able to stab one with the Shishkebab, the young Deathclaw wont suffer much damage and will grab Noras hand until she flipped the weapon inside him making a very big hole that will burn him from the insides in a perfect circle. Finishing him.
The dad Deathclaw went directly to jump over her and the 3 paladins with miniguns concentrate their fire power over his face, scaring him away to not touch the sentinel.
But that didn't stop the biggest one, the mother, neither the rocket launcher, who grabbed Noras by the feet and started pushing and trowing her to the groud like a doll, hitting her over and over and over.
If it wasn't for the power armor, she will be InstaMash on the groud for sure.
The metallic crushing sounds make the patrol squad bones tremble in fear and horror.
The mom gets distracted and throw away Nora to a side when a rocket hit her head, roaring at the paladin, and the four plus the ones in the back with laser rifles concentrate their fire power on her.
The secret that Nora held from everyone was that she was in such a drive of drugs, like, several dosis of med-x, buffout, x-cell, psyco, jet, everything she could get inside her system.
So the pain? Nah it wasn't really a problem, a sore muscle surely.
The internal bleeding? Must be her period on her lungs.
A pair of tooths missing? Oh…more than two? Six? Well she always wanted to actually redo her smile…
The only thing that would stop her now from getting up, was going to be broken legs, and the power armor could help with that need as it did with Proctor Ingram.
She went running and place a gamma mine in the moms back, making the beast paralyze and scream when she was running towards the paladins.
There was the dad, and the mom, a young sibling and…some other big one, the one that appeared in the cave.
The ones that ambush the ventibird and died in the explosion were small and slim too, must be the kids of this other father.
Nora sluddenly felt something pulling her leg again and moving her all around the dirt and floor but she took out her extended ripper and cut the skin of the dad Deathclaw, who left her and went to lick his new wound.
In the skys and all around the sound of an incoming ventibird alerted everyone, even the Deathclaws, everyone included Nora take cover from the minigun shoots from the sky that were approatching them.
While everyone was being distracted on the sunlight one of the young beast tried to ambush the team who hided insided the cave from the darks, but between 6 they were able to blind the beast eyes and tackle him, since he wasn't so tall and buckle, a couple of several laser shoots in his ass burned him from the insides and kill it for good. Giving them a small victory.
The oldest Deadclaw tried to climb a three to jump over the ventibird approaching and take it down, but Nora wont allow it, jumping as fast she could to cling on his tail and take it down by weight at least, the beast couldn't get enough of a grip on the branches and fell on top of her, that's when she used the chance to impale him with the Shishkebab and burn it. Finishing it.
The sound of pain and defeat of an adult Deathclaw by only one person was something all the presents will remember forever.
The mother and father screamed at Nora but before jumping over her the minigun of the ventibird was directly shooting at their faces, same with the paladins and the pilot with the rifle. The fireshoot was starting to get on their nerves and break their defenses just now.
Nora took the chance to take the Deathclaw body off or at least she gets off rolling aside, it was so difficult to move normally in this really heavy armor right now!
The Deathclaw dad was aware of her getting up and running, and tossed at the mother, who open her arms and shouted.
Oh nonono.
Before getting assaulted by a angry mother like this was a threather play in a primary school the sentinel quickly went off the power armor, letting her get smashed against the metal skeleton alone while running.
But as soon she was off the dad received her human body from the very first time, picking her with her other sane claw.
For a moment, Nora couldn't feel the lower part of her legs, unsure if it was sleepy for the pressure or pain.
Again, she crushed the extended ripper in his fist, the beast howled directly at her face and throw her away in the ground like a piece of trash
That's how the patrol guard realized the bad state she was, one went outside at the sunlight to pick up her foot and drag her inside the cave where the patrol squad was
Completely covered in blood, missing half of the mouth, head open in a very visible level and…leg bones crushed, easy at the sight. The scribe wasn't be sure if she would be able to walk again.
Nora quickly open his eyes and went up using her hands, at seeing at her eyes, the scribe can see she was doped.
-Oh shit –she said low, before this she hadn't noticed the broken legs because of the skeleton of the power armor holding it all together but now…now her brain was aware because she processed the information no drug could connect that pair of nerve cells right now that join her legs and the rest of her body –give me a laser pistol at least I know i…
-Sentinel you did enough! –said the scribe desesperatly taking off her sweater to tear it so It can be wrapped around her open head.
-You don't get it I need to do something or…–being quiet, still, on her place made her eyes finally relax since the shoot of adrenaline and the effects or the drugs went on too long for the need, if she wasn't going to be running or jumping around that wasn't needed and…her bodyparts could calm, her brain could stop working, her heart could finally stop for a moment.
-We are loosing her! –another scribe said, resting her on the ground while the other scribe holded her head to not get hit more.
-She needs rcp! –a knight volunteer to do so as everybody take care of her damaged body.
-Quick! steampacks! –someone said behind and one of the paladins offer his supply, nonononoono they cant let the sentinel die no matter how difficult the mission turned to be it would crush their carrers forever specially if the testimonys talked all about her bravery.
One of the scribes took the supply and used her arms to inject the medicine.
Eventually the paladins run out of bullets, a minigun was not only difficult to load but also very expensive, and they were on it for a long time, it was strange to have such a big load of bullets for just only mission…
But they see that the Deathclaws were tired and already injured so as the sentinel did, the three of them raised the miniguns and hit them on the heads hard, the dad one make a really loud crack sound when he received the impact on the nose and went back, crying, the mother went back to check on him wagging her big long tail, avoiding them to come any closer.
The paladins were amazed to hear a conversation between two intelligent beast, even in their own language of course, they really were chatting and having coherent behaviors.
In a flash, a really brief second, they both retired, raised their legs and went running up the cliff on top were they were standing.
The four paladins were amazed.
-Keep her breathing! –the screams from the squad behind them reminded them the situation despite such achievement to their reports.
-Land the ventibird! Just land the ventibird now! Take the patrol squad and sentinel Nora immediately to the Prydwen!
-What about you paladins!? –said the pilot of the new ventibird from the speakers as he landed a few meters away for them to get inside.
-Well go to the nearest minutemen settlement to use their communications, its going to be fine! –one of the paladins enter in the ventibird and move off a couple of crateboxes full of ammunitions –well need this and you need the space and the extra weight, there's 6 people getting inside but take the sentinel to medical urgencys inmediatly! No time to loose!
As they talked, the patrol squad went inside with the unconscious body of sentinel Nora in their arms, two do the best as possible to lay her and put a coat under her head, having specially care with the legs.
A scribe was seeing her pupils with the light of the pip-boy, it wasn't ideal since the green didn't help but she was controlling the most she can.
-Raise! Ill communicate with the Prydwen for them to prepare the surgeon emergency room! –the pilot nooded and do his job to fly back while the scribe took the control of the radio.
Arthur was in the command deck when a yellow light in the walls interrupted him, an alarm? Beneath him was the control room and he…can sometimes overhead the conversations because he had a really good hearing about everything that happens in his ship.
-Prepare the surgeon emergency room we have 5 injured soldiers and a sentinel in the edge of death, every second counts, take a gurney, defibrillator, and several blood bags into the flydeck, ill notify Knight Cade to be ready! Clean and sterilize the surgeon room now!
Arthurs heart flipped and stopped for a moment. What did just happened?
