Thread: Surviving in Chaos. (Dies/Midnight)

Crow kept his gun pointed at the voice, he wasn't apt to believe her immediately, a raider would try a similar trick. The male didnt care if she was a woman, or even that she tried to tell him that they werent enemies, he was quite focused on defending himself, he couldnt see her expression after all. Crow seemed to relax when he heard the gun touch the floor, he had no idea that the woman was carrying two guns of course. The male moved his head down, tracking the sound and 'looking' to where she put it. Eden he questioned, she said she would take him to Eden, perhaps Fox would be there! Crow hesitated for a moment, but eventually decided that safety was far better than starving or being eaten in here. When the woman mentioned Reapers, he paled, Okay he agreed with a hurry. Crow heard the voice coming from her communicator, he knew what was happening, when she spoke to him he nodded grimly. I know how to shoot he assured. Don't leave! Crow bolted towards the stranger, his voice panicked despite his attempt to sound calm, nearly tripping again... He caught himself midstep... he didn't want to be left alone again, though the woman shortly asked him if he knew how to use the gun in his hand. The young male nodded and followed her footsteps as she set up the barricade. I hear them coming he quickly followed up, he didn't want to be left alone again, not again. The young man followed the woman out into the hallway and listened, he could hear the thundering footsteps of the men now entering the building, the shots of the womans sniper outside. Here they come The male readied his pistol, he could hear three pairs of boots storming in his direction, and more coming from behind them, promising an intense firefight. Crows palms began to sweat he could hear his own heartbeat pounding in his ears, feel his own pulse, he wasnt used to fighting, though Fox had taught him how to shoot at sounds, throwing rocks at a fencepost as an example, he had never shot at another human being until now. The first trader rounded the corner, spotting the pair and opening his mouth. Found 'em! The man smirked and raised his gun, but it was too late, Crow locked in on the noise, aimed his pistol, and squeezed the trigger. The man slumped to the ground the round had struck right above his right eye, instantly lethal. Crow was stunned for a second, the gunshot was loud, it hurt his ears. The two men behind the first jumped back, one of them shouted Fuck!!! just as the ringing ceased and Crow took aim, firing again, aiming at the sound, the round struck the corner of the wall between them and their makeshift barricade. The man screamed and a heavy thud could be heard, he wasnt dead yet, the boy had struck him in the leg, likely shattering the bones in his leg, he was out of the action for now. Three rounds down, six to go. Crow straightened when he heard another noise, the incredibly distinct sound of a shotgun being pumped by the sound of it it was a large one too. GET DOWN!!! Crow panicked and shouted to his current ally, spinning around and ducking covering his ears as the man with the shotgun rounded the corner. Crow himself ducked as the man, smirking, pulled the trigger of his weapon, the wall of shot peppering the desk, but not penetrating the wood, sending splinters of wood everywhere. This said something about the traders, they werent trying to kill, or they would have used heavier shot that would have ounched through the boys cover. The man moved to pump his shotgun again, making the mistake of doing so out in the open. Crow popped out and fired again, two shots again, the first one missed widely the second struck him in the chest right above the shotgun. The bandit fell to the ground without a sound, unable to pump his weapon again. Crow turned, he had his back to the woman, deciding that she wouldn't stab him when he wasn't looking and tried to tune out the noise of her own battle. Crow adjusted the tinted goggles over the bandages, they obviously had no use, but hid the obvious fact that he was blind. Once the noise died down he popped his head up, turning back and hoping dearly that the woman wasn't dead, he didn't hear a scream. Are you okay? he asked, groping around his coat and taking out a fresh magazine for his pistol, releasing the current into his hand and slapping the new one into the handgun with a round already in the chamber. Are they gone? We need to get out of here! Crow listened hard, he didn't hear anything, but he knew anything in the area would be attracted to the gunshots. Crow coughed, pressing his hand to his chest as he waited for a reply. I will leave the bandits you want to deal with to you.
