I waited till Tyrannis left the room.
" Good job, now we have to kill Roy, and get the hell outta here."
These were the words I said to Masters as he got up off the ground.
" Ok, but there could have been another way to convince him," came his reply.
" What's done is done, nothing more. Tyrannis can't see you though; otherwise he'll give me a speech about pretending and all that [censored]. Here's a stealth boy, don't get caught."
With these words, I holstered my magnum and ran out the door. Tyrannis was keeping watch and I froze for a minute but all he said was,
" No time to waste." I
could feel Masters behind me, glad Tyrannis didn't notice him. I followed him down the hall, and looking around corners, but Phillips was nowhere we checked. It was until we approached the tunnels to the Wasteland that we saw Phillips looking straight at us.
"You killed my friend and now I have no problem killing yours."
He swiftly pulled out his .32 and shot, twice. Tyrannis fell to the ground, shot in each leg.
" Goddamit Phillips, we could have sorted this out!"
" Don't give me [censored] boy. I let you stay here for 4 days and you kill one of my followers? I have every right."
He raised his arm; this time aiming at the head, and slowly moved his finger around the trigger. Too early, Masters had shot, right in Roy's shoulder, exploding the collarbone.
" Gahh, What the [censored], your alive?"
" Go to hell," said Masters, revealing himself. He shot again but Phillips rolled out of the way.
" If I die, then so do you!" he shouted.
He stood up and pulled out a grenade. As he was running towards Masters, I shot till I was out, hitting him twice in the arm, and three times in his torso. When he was close enough, Masters fired one last time at Phillips, and his leg crumpled beneath him. With one last breath, Roy shoved the grenade in Masters mouth. I turned my head and waited for the explosion. It came, and warm blood flew onto my face, along with a terrible scream. I refused to look back, and helped up Tyrannis.
" Wh wh wh why didn't you tell m m m me he was still alive," stuttered Tyrannis, struggling with his wounds.
I picked him up, and got out of the tunnel doors. The sun was hot and blinding, I hadn't seen light for a while. I didn't know what I'd do with Tyrannis, he was on the critical scale of dying. I looked to the east, and? yes! A Vertibird! I hobbled over as fast as I could, dragging Tyrannis along. I had just enough energy to make it to the plane.
" Help, help! Wounded." I cried with exasperation. I let the soldiers help me onto the plane,
" Make sure he gets out okay,"
" Sir, this happens to be a she, one of the generals of the Enclave," said one of the soldiers. " we have been looking for her since her entire squadron was killed by a Deathclaw."
My mind blowing to bits, I sat on the bench of the hold, and saw them roll Tyrannis on a gurney onto the plane. With her helmet, I finally knew who she was. She was even kind of pretty, a pretty general. I stared out in space with new knowledge, and The Search, The Sickness, and on Tyrannis.
" Next stop, Raven Rock," said the pilot.
The plane lifted into the air.
I was listening to Stacy's mom when I wrote this, and decided to make Tyrannis a chic. Anyone want to take a guess on her real name? HMMMM, you know you want too. By the way, this isn't the end of Chp 6 part 1. There seperate posts.
