John readied his sniper and looked down the scope… Night has fallen up on the Mojave now was the perfect time to strike. He watched behind an old pre war car, as the Legion soldiers moved up the steep road, they were perfect targets. The Legion soldiers had made the foolish decision to stick to the roads, and the roads out of Nipton were narrow covered by rocks both sides forcing them down a single path. He loaded new bullets into his sniper and put his finger on the trigger.
The bullet flew from his Sniper rifle and his one of the Legions soldiers in the face killing him swiftly. Before the rest of the soldiers could move into a better position, John pulled the trigger again. The bullet flew from the rifle and hit the Legion soldier straight though the heart. The other 3 soldiers then took cover behind a car. John grabbed his dual revolvers and fired back, suppressing the 3 soldiers with an array of bullets. John saw the 2 Powder Gangers tied up next the 3 soldiers he had to be careful not to shoot them.
John then ran out of ammo in both his Revolvers and reloaded them while he did so the 3 soldiers jumped from their cover firing their rifles as they and run towards John. But John was ready he quickly slid over the car bonnet as he slammed the new bullets into his guns and fired back catching the 2 soldiers by surprise and ending them swiftly. The last one threw his rifle to the ground and grabbed his machete from its holster; John could not act quickly enough! John was pinned back against the car bonnet by the Legion solider, as his Revolvers flew from his hands one landed on the car roof the other on the floor. John grabbed both the soldier’s hands and attempted to twist the knife back against its user.
The Legion solder then screamed in pain as he fell to the ground with a bullet hole though his back. John looked up at the soldier’s killer both of the once captured Powder gangers stood there with both their newly acquired rifles pointed directly at John.
