private Helping a stranger in need (FO:E)

She shrugged looking ahead of them as they walked to Mick and Ralph's. "I've been here for a few months. I spend most of my time around the clinic and the followers fort helping out. Though occasionally I do errands for the silver rush the kings and the NCR for caps and supplies."

[Ranger22 179]

Deserter of the desert rangers? I don't know if I should find that funny or be annoyed by it. Whoever he is he sounds like a bigger threat then this rogue escort stabber. Why would anyone desert what I believe to be an organized group just to do cheap jobs in a pisshole? "Sounds like the kind of guy I'd like to meet, alright guys I guess were done here." I stated as I walked out of the establishment with a new side mission on my belt.

[Nameless Knight 1,001]

Hazmat followed the Tin Can "I have always wanted to meet a Desert Ranger... but not with me on the wrong end of one of their rifles." He said and frowned. "So how do you think we should go through with this? Guns blazing? Talk and then kill? or try and take them out before they even notice they're under attack?"

[Ranger22 179]

Now that was the question everypony wanted the answer to, how do we go in? "I say if Girder is there slot the bastard from a building window turn his helmet in as proof to the NCR, and maybe get a reward for it. Keep the body armor if you can and I'll just pummel our target to death with my hooves. Seriosuly I could care less about the measly sum known as our bounty." I happily stated the facts then patiently waited for a response. I don't know what this Girder guy is packing but it won't matter if we get him by surprise.

[Yoshikupo 302]

"I say we approach them slowly then kill them when they don't expect it, I have done that quite a few times to other butt munches in the wasteland" Chain says to them "but every time Hazel had to hide because a heavy armored pony going to talk to someone nicely does not go together" he paused "or we could just go gun's and magic a blazing because restraining someone with magic it easy and burning them would be just as easy"   

[Ranger22 179]

"Nice suggestion but as easy as you say it is you can probably only constrain one of them before you get your head blown to bits by whatever piece there packing. The sneaking one works but your right about my armor making too much noise. I suggest one of us distracts them then the rest can finish them off. Remember we wanna make as much money as possible here so my armor salvaging thing still applies." I explained before I walked off to search for our intended target.

[Nameless Knight 1,001]

"I'm sure if we bring the Ranger's armor back to the Desert Rangers they may pay us pretty well if we bring it in good condition. That old world riot gear is rare so they may want it back, if It was common, I would probably traveled out to the divide to get my hooves on a set a long time ago. Also they probably have a bounty on the deserter's head. Killing two birds with one stone..." Hazmat said following him. "I will be the decoy... Just make sure you kill them without getting me killed."

"That's pretty nice of ya. Helping out others and such. I try to help when I can. But I usually try to get from day to day. Even when it means working with the great khans. But I'd rather sail to them then Caesar's Legion. I'd rather die then work with the Legion.  But the great khans ain't bad, they don't kill for no reason, they don't have salves. Sure they sail drugs but that's about it.  Plus I like their look, it's pretty tough and cool looking. The legion wear skirts and helmets with feathers. Witch make them look really lame." He chuckled.

Rose nodded a little bit shrugged her shoulders. " I goes so. Though o have never really given it much thought before. " she said and stopped walking. " here you are. Mick and Ralph's. " she went inside and day his stuff down by the counter. "Hello Mick. Hello Ralph." She greeted then stood out of the way so crowbar could speak with the brothers.

[Yoshikupo 302]

After a long time of waiting and searching for the targets they finally found them walking throw freeside in a hurry with no other ponies around "I wonder where there going? meh I don't care anymore lets just do this" he says to the others "hazel go in that building and I will go in this one" he pointed at two buildings at different sides of the area "its up to you now Haz" he smiled and walked away 

[Ranger22 179]

After a long while wandering through the dirty streets of freeside we have finally found our targets. One was a chipper looking fellow with a ten gallon hat on his forehead. Mr.Garret mentioned we'd be in trouble if this so called Girder showed up, and I suspect the pony in full black riot gear was him. The large trench coat he wore probably hid whatever gun he was packing, the cocky mother fucker. Chain decided it would be best if we ambushed from two different positions while Nuclear handled the distraction.

 

   I went into the run down building opposite of Chain's. Cracks were on every surface and shattered old glass littered the floor, this building was lucky just to still be standing. I cautiously made my way to the top floors, the floor groaned as my armored hooves dared the building to collapse. Making my way to a window I had a good view of both of my targets, however that meant they had a decent view of me if they looked up. I saw Chain sticking his head out of the building opposite of mine, we waited for Nuclear to make his move. Hopefully I wouldn't have to resort on using one of my missiles to take these guys out.

[Nameless Knight 1,001]

"Haz? did you just call me Haz?" He said before realizing they were already in position. "Here we go..." He said under his breath. He sighed and looked at the Desert Ranger looking at him. "Step aside" The ranger said. Nuclear shook his head and said "No..." He said, drawing his .44 revolver, "Step aside ranger, your friend is coming with me." The Ranger laughed and pulled a hunting revolver out of his duster. 'a hunting revolver...   that uses .45-70 government ammunition... that can punch through power armor when wielded by a skilled gunstallion.. ' Hazmat thought. "You think you and your buddies are clever, having one of you in each of the individual buildings to try and ambush me and my client, with you as the decoy. Now... Step aside" The ranger said. Hazmat took a step to the side and the ranger and his client walked by. Hazmat nodded to Chain and Hazel.

 

(Hazmat isn't know as Hazmat yet)

[Yoshikupo 302]

(I have a plan for why he said that ;D )

Chain noticed how they noticed him and Hazel then quickly powered up his magic it would take a second since two ponies and one in heavy armor would be hard to lift from this far away "lets get this over with" he yelled trying to pick up both at the same time. I was a bit rushed but I hope it still works Chain thought

[Ranger22 179]

After the desert ranger explained to nuclear he knew our plan I readied my weapons. Seriously these guys needed a different name, otherwise I'll get confused. Before I could act a magical field engulfed both of our targets, they flew a few feet from the ground and they were as confused as anypony would have been. I expected he would use his weapon not his magic, but what's done is done. My minigun took a second to churn before the loud buzzing noise of the minigun notified its target a constant wave of bullets would meet them. The floating ponies made easy targets for the minigun to grind into meat.

After they greeted each other, Crowbar asked if he could use the work bench. When they said he could he grabbed his tools and started fixing the guns he had with some spar parts he had. Making this cause more damage and last longer. He even fitted a few mods to make them worth even more.  He fixed each one very quickly and with very well attention to detail. Not skipping or missing a step. 

 

When he was done he started bartering with Mick. Who was in charge of sailing weapons. With a bit og a back and forth with the pricing, Crowbar was able to talk him into buying them at pretty good prices. So good in fact that he cleaned out Mick's caps register. Crowbar now had about a one thousand,one hundred caps. 

 

CRobar had a big smile on his face when he got the bag filled with his pay. 

[Cherry_Bloom 165]

Gypse smiled quietly as she waited for them to finish. She glanced out the dusty window noting the time. "I need to get some stimpacks from you if you have any Mick. I promised to deliver some to the followers. They have many sickly patients that need help." She said looking back at the sales stallion.

Crowbar overheard and walked over. He pulled out a hounded of his caps and lay them on the counter.  "And put it on me." Said before giving her a smile. "It's the least I can do faster ya helped me log my junk here." He reached into his bag and pulled out two more stimpacks and three med-x's. "I got enough to spare.  Plus It's been a while since I've needed any med-x. Got a medical book I've been saving as well. Trade it to ya for a kiss." He smirked.

[Nameless Knight 1,001]

Hazmat used his revolver and put a bullet in the head of the target and saw as the Desert Ranger was gun down by the steel ranger. "Didn't suspect that now did you..." He said before looking up at chain and saying "Alright drop 'em so I can get the ear and loot the armor."

[Yoshikupo 302]

Chain drops the dead ponies carefully on the ground "I thought my gun right up to there heads wouldn't work this time because of the circumstances, you know two ponies one in heavy armor so I levitated them up" a fizz sounded from Chains horn "aw crap looks like I have to use my normal power now"he says with a frown and meets up with the others how are looting the bodies "tell me when your done"

[Ranger22 179]

  It didn't take much to shred the desert ranger, no opponent can last long against a minigun not even me. I walked over the pile of bullet casings that were by my hooves as I made my way down. I saw both nuclear and Chain looking over the bodies, our main target had one large bullet hole in his cranium.The ranger armor was not as intact as I wanted it to be but it was still recognizable, and besides using a minigun kinda guaranteed that so I shouldn't be complaining.

 

    I looked over the bloody torn up mess that was once a desert ranger. "So how do you plan taking that armor off him, I think carrying the entire body would be easier." I jokingly stated. "Seriously the NCR really needs to use a different name then ranger, ya already got the applejack rangers why do ya need two types." I complained as I heaved the body of the ranger on my back. "Take care of the ear then we'll see to turning this fella over to the nearest camp."

[Nameless Knight 1,001]

"This is a Desert ranger, they an't part of the NCR. The NCR rangers don't wear riot gear. " Hazmat said He looked at the desert ranger "The Desert Rangers have been around in the Moohave longer then the Steel Rangers... The Steel Rangers created the Moohave chapter during my father's life time. The Desert Rangers were around in these parts since before the start of the NCR-Enclave war and the NCR-Steel Ranger War." He said before using the clever and chopping of the ear and looting the caps.

"Well if anypony had the gall to call themselves rangers it would have been gawd's boys, thanks for clearing that one part up for me. However I do have a problem with the they here before the rangers statement. Considering we were special forces for the ministry of wartime technology we would have been stationed in all of equestria. Considering that was around two hundred years ago I'm pretty sure we were here first. But that's a technicality so I don't really need to fret about, and I don't think the Rangers deserve the name anymore. Closest thing to those pre-war fellows is us the applejack rangers!" I claimed as I patiently waited for nuclear to finish with a dead body on my back.

Gypse looked on in shock. " oh! Crowbar... You didn't have to do that. Thank you so much! " she said smiling. When he smirked and said he would trade her for a kiss she blushed brightly. " well. You certainly aren't a shy stallion are you? " she smiled shyly and leaned closer to him but just a few inches from him she leaned past him and picked up her purchase. She giggled and kissed his cheek then trotted out of the shop.

[Yoshikupo 302]

Chain saw and heard everything when he noticed Hazmat looked like he was finished looting "so what do you think we should do? get to the nearest camp? turn in the guys ears? I personally want to find Crowbar and see what he's been doing maybe he got some caps" he paused "we could split up or something" he suggested   

[Nameless Knight 1,001]

"hmm... never thought about that, I guess technically the Steel Rangers were around first... Also... what are Applejack's rangers? I have only seen Desert Rangers, Steel Rangers, and NCR Rangers..." Hazmat said. 'why does there have to be so many types of rangers...' He thought before looking at Chain. "You and Tin Can can turn in the ear and caps to Mr. Garret, I will take the helmet of the dead ranger to the Desert Ranger outpost near Westside. they cant really use the armor anymore..." He said.
