-warlord Drake hammerfist
The next instalment of our short stories series.
5 generations after the war began and left the world in ruins the fractured remains of humankind continue the long war there ancestors started all reason and purpose forgotten as the brutal tribes savagely battle over the relics of the old world....
After a long time of staring Nick began to sit up, his rifle trained on her chest ready to take the shot if needed, Nick was amazed at her resolve she just stood there completely still not a sign of fear on her face even tho she was stood with nothing but a tattered brown top on.
As Nick walked closer he pulled down the skull bandana he wore to cover his mouth and noise, as he did the woman bent down and picked up one of the rifles that the one of the fireborn men had, it was an ugly looking weapon originally a assault rifle by the looks of it but the wooden stock has been scorched and a tube took into it that comes out just above the trigger and along the side of the barrel ending in a flame projector noise almost the complete opposite to nicks long rifle a long elegant rifle covers in wood with carvings all over wrapped in a brown cloth so it camouflages better,
she shouted in her thick flyboy (American) accent "one more step and I'll light you up like the 4th of July"
as she brought the barrel up to her shoulder. Nick stopped dead and lowered his barrel toward the ground and replied in his deep groof voice "Well that's a nice thanks for stopping them from doing whatever they want with you, now let's just lower the rifle just a bit like mine, I'm not telling you to drop it just lower it just a little so we can talk"
she lowered it so it was pointed at his stomach "this is as low as it's going until you tell me who the hell you are cos I'm not in the mood for seeing death today but your stood right in front of me and I know if I shoot you you'll shoot me back and then we'll both be meeting the real death won't we"
Nick chuckled slightly "well I'm the only death you'll be seeing today cos I think we can sort this out you seem reasonable enough, I'm Nick I'm a ranger and I just saved your life that enough"
she lowered her weapon immediately and exclaimed "why the hell didn't you say that Nancy and I'm one of the heroines of the flyboys, these brutes kidnapped me three weeks ago when my plane went down on a patrol on the edges of shadow from and engine malfunction"
Nick slung his rifle over his shoulder and walked forward slowly "not complaining about how you look or anything like that but are you gonna put your pants back on or at least something so your not low on clothes down below?"
She looked down at herself seemingly only just realising she had no pants "oh yeah that might be a good idea, I don't suppose you have any spares because I lost mine when these pricks attacked me"
Nick shook his head "unfortunately no I don't I just have what I have on"
she smiled slightly "thought so you kinda have that sorta smell about you, well looks like you'll just have to deal with seeing this till we find some new clothes"
she said in a amused tone as she turned round and tapped her bear backside as she walked over to one of the bodies and started removing an assault vest he had on "this is mine the bastardised took it off me"
Nick wondered around the camp looking for anything of any use, as he looked up from a small box containing weapons and ammo Nancy was stood completely naked on the other side of the fire.
