I got a clean headshot at the first COV I saw, and then more showed up from small buildings or zip lines. I took cover behind a barrier wall, and I killed a couple more of the Children of Vault with sleepytime. I then got out of cover and killed the last COV that was in my way.

"Good job, recruit," said Claptrap, and then the magnet moved again. "Oh, no, not again."

Shiv called through the echo, "I'm gonna use craptrap as my new chamberpot. I need to go in a few minutes."

"Recruit." Claptrap shouted as the magnet moved to the next area of propaganda

I shot one guy running at me, and that was the last one for now. I walked toward the large door; a red car trunk that was near the door caught my eye. Opening it up, I saw two revolvers and a bunch of ammo. None of the two weren't any better than the guns I have.

Lilith came to my head, "What's happening?"

"Claptrap is stuck on a magnet, and I'm trying to save him…and I don't know why."

"Look I know Claptrap can be well himself but he's one of us and I'll be there right away."

"Got it."

Lilith left my head. Man, I have to get used to that. Then the door opened, and I entered a large area that looked like COV was making small camps and rest areas. I changed to my holorifle as more of these COVs came out. Man, these guys fight like fiends in Vault 3. I shot the last COV that had glowing pink x goggles.

I walked under Claptrap and asked, "Are you good?"

"Other then fear and funny feeling in my system yes. You need to find a shield if you're going to survive a showdown Shiv."

"What's a shield?"

"Really? Um a device that protects from bullets find it and get back here."

A device that blocks the bullets. Finally, that robot was speaking my language. I looked around and saw a large chest on top of shipping containers. Climbing up the containers, I opened the chest to see the shields Claptrap was talking about. Man, these would have been useful in the Mojave wasteland. I would've survived Benny's ambush and not gotten shot in the head. But I'm not that lucky.

I put the shield on and saw the shield power on top of my health on my echo. I went back to Claptrap.

"You got your shield?" said Claptrap

"Yeah."

"Good, now you can survive a showdown with Shiv." then the robot shouted, "Hey SHHHIIIIVVVV, all your dumbass friends are dead and my new recruit challenged you in a deathmatch ."

"Then come in heretic I haven't made my sacrifice quote for the day," said Shiv

"Thanks for that Claptrap," I said as I walked toward an opening of doors to the main building.

I pulled out the Ranger Sequoia and walked into an empty room with monitors that showed nothing and a sparking generator. Shiv jumped out from another room and landed a few feet away. He had the body of a super mutant, but his left arm was tiny. Shiv had a large machete and a bullseye board with tons of knives on it.

"I'm gonna sharpen my blade with your spin," said Shiv

"Oh, you're going to die."

I have to say, for a guy without a shield or body armor, he can take a lot of bullets to the head. He kept going at me, swinging his machete. I had to keep on my feet with him running at me, trying to cut my head off. I switched to my holorifle and aimed at the generator. I fired a shot, and Shiv's body got electrocuted. Man, I thought he would go down, but he was still standing.

He jumped in the air and slammed his machete into the ground, sending a fissure at me. I avoided it, and I pulled out Sleepytime, putting a whole magazine into his head, and he finally died, but his last words were.

"I failed you my goddess."

Whoever this goddess, probably the COV leader, must be some piece of work. Then, I spotted a shotgun near Shiv's body. Well, I think it's a shotgun. It looked futuristic, but the yellow paint job looked faded away.

Lilith came to my head, "Score one for the Crimson Raiders. You and Claptrap secure the area. I'm almost there."

"Understood."

"Hey recruit, if you're not dead, please can you take me down from here? The controls are on the second floor," said Claptrap.

I walked up the stairs to the second floor to see the controller. I don't know much about how to work with magnets. But pressing the red usually does something either good or bad. One press and the magnet turned off, and Claptrap fell to the ground. Crap, it would be bad if he died just right before Lilith came here.

Coming outside to see Claptrap was stuck on the ground. I got him out of the ground.

"Are you good?" I said

"Yeah, it's not the worst thing that happened to me," said Claptrap

"Okay, Lilith is coming."

"Great, she's going to reward me with single handily defeating the COVS."

"What are you talking about? I did most of the work, or that fall crack your circuits."

"Um, what I meant to say is we defeated these COVs. I'll give the signal."

I shook my head as I saw Clatrap making a signal by creating a beam in the sky. Then, a large flame came from the sky and crashed down to the ground, creating a fireball and shaking the ground. Out from the fire was Lilith with flame wings and a glowing tattoo; I have no idea how or what she did, but it got me curious.

Claptrap rolled up to Lilith, "Lilith, I can confidently say that Operation Trojan Horse has worked, and the propaganda center is our thanks to me."

I'm gonna throw that robot off the cliff.

"I'll bet." Lilith looked around the area, "The COV had destroyed every other Crimson Raider stronghold. So this has to do for now. What's your name, killer."

"Wyatt, but I usually go by the Courier. Glad to meet the person who has been talking to me in my head."

"Yeah, that's not the weirdest thing you see on Pandora."

"I'm no stranger to weird things."

"Good, thanks for answering the call. We might not have the numbers with a badass like you we've got fighting. Welcome to the Crimson Raiders."

I joined another group fighting for good; some things never changed.
