Chapter 198 - Go-Go Psycho

As Violet screams at the 'Psycho-tic' dog to let go of her arm the other dogs slowly awaken, and open seeing their master under attack all start barking themselves. The large dog Violet had been using as a pillow also gets up and dashes at the enemy dog, biting down viciously on its hind leg, causing it to squeal in pain, but not yet let go of Violet.

In fact, the pain of having its leg bitten only causes it to bite down harder, Violet screaming louder in return.​ ​

Afton knew the fight between the single dog and the army of them wasn't going to last long, so he had to quickly improvise. Using VATS he stops time to consider what he should do next, luckily it doesn't take long to come up with an idea.

Coming out of VATS he reaches into his bag and pulls out every Psycho he has, breaking their casing before throwing them high in the air and into the crowd of dogs. No one seemed to have noticed him doing that, but the dogs certainly recognised the scent of their favourite chem.

Violet isn't even aware of what is happening around her as another dog locks onto her leg, brutally biting into it and causing blood to quickly spew from the wound. She screams again, this time managing to turn slightly to notice the many dogs that were currently licking up the broken containing of Psycho on the floor.

Some dogs even bite into the containers themselves, accidentally piercing their mouths by biting the needles. The trace amounts of Psycho injected by the broken needles is enough for them not to stop though.

Afton would have been appalled by the sight before him if all the victims weren't his enemies. The dog had quickly started attacking everything around them, blood slowly collecting on the floor as dogs start tearing each other to pieces.

Most of the aggression was focussed on Violet though, the dogs clearly remembering the numerous beatings they'd received at her hand. The only dog that tried to defend her was the 'pillow-dog' who Violet referred to as Violetta. The dog was bigger than the others and more vicious as it defended its master.

Violet was left heavily injured while leaning against the back wall, Violetta standing next to her protectively as the other dogs tore each other to pieces.

All Afton had to do now was kill Violetta and cut Violet's head off... However, the only problem with that was the fact the Psycho dogs were still present. Quickly, he made his way to the roof again and tossed an empty can of beans at one of the dogs near the entrance, causing it to start barking at whoever had done that.

Apparently, this was all he needed as the front door of the building was pushed open, letting the Psycho dogs out. They started attacking everything that moved, and soon enough chaos erupted around the Trailer Fort. The other dogs had definitely been trained, but the thick smell of blood and ravenous barks from the others had somewhat affected them.

He wondered what it looked like to Boone and Karl, the entire place had been thrown into chaos as it became a dog-eat-dog world...

Afton walked back down the stairs, not bothering to hide himself as Violet glares at him from the floor.

"Y-you did this! My dogs! You killed my dogs!" she shouts almost manically. It was easy to see that she wasn't currently on any chems, the fury she was feeling was well and truly her own.

Afton just shakes his head and draws his knife, "Didn't you see? I didn't kill anything, your dogs killed each other... You should have trained them better, Violet."

Violet gnashes her teeth as him as she throws herself to the side, attempting to grab the gun she'd dropped earlier. Afton just kicks one of the dog corpses at it though, causing the weapon to slide across the room, a distance far too great for the heavily injured Violet to reach.

"I think you should sit and talk with me for a while, I know those chems probably weren't good for that head on your shoulders, but be calm... It won't matter after I cut it off." he states simply, knowing he's got plenty of time due to the sound of animals fighting each other outside.

"So you're one of them, fucking NCR scum!"

Afton shrugs, "I probably hate the NCR as much as you do, so no dice."

A look of confusion overtakes her, "B-but why!?"

"Didn't you know? Driver Nephi wanted you dead, said your dogs weren't worth the effort of breeding them." he states.

"He... That betrayer! AGAIN ALL OF THEM! AHHHHH!" she roars in a rage, banging her uninjured hand on the floor in an attempt to rid herself of her abrupt anger. Clearly the idea of Driver Nephi betraying her wasn't all that foreign.

He waits for her to calm down.. Well, not calm down perse as she was currently a sobbing mess, hugging Violetta while muttering gibberish. "You know, I will kill you, but that doesn't mean you can't get revenge... I'd be more than willing to kill Driver Nephi for you." he offers with a devilish grin.

She looks at him suspiciously before quickly nodding, "Yes! I want him dead! I WANT ALL OF THOSE BASTARDS TO PAY!"

"Then, all I need is information."

"Anything." she says, her previous loyalties to the Fiends quickly being forgotten as her desire for revenge takes over.

It's twenty minutes later that Violet had spewed all her and Driver Nephi's secrets. He'd even managed to infer some things about Cook-Cook and Motor-Runner as well, but now was the time for Violet to die. "Thank you for the information Violet. I will see to it that Nephi joins you in hell soon." he says, taking a step forward which causes Violetta to growl.

Violet just slumps against the wall silently, knowing her end was coming. She'd lost too much blood to fight back, and even if she hadn't, she wasn't all that much of a fighter... Without a firearm, she was just a woman without a weapon.

Violetta leaps at Afton, but he rams his knife into the dog's neck while back-handing it in the face with his free hand, sending it sprawling to the floor while bleeding out. Violet doesn't even have the energy to cry out for her dog as Afton closes in.

He honestly pitied the girl, but pity wasn't enough to get in the way of his 3000 caps. So she quickly stabs her in the throat and waits a couple second for her to lose consciousness. Afterwards slowly using the serrated part of his knife to cut through her neck.

It took around five minutes for Afton to finally saw from her flesh and in between her bone. He wipes the sweat from his face as he picks the head up, "Who knew cutting someone's head off would be so difficult?" he mutters to himself.
