Sudden Attack

A collection of things happen all at once. The sudden roar of a technical's engine behind you, Ellie's eyes widening in shock, anger and fear as she looks over your shoulder, and a sort of sixth sense that tells you exactly what this means. You respond to pure instinct, not one to duck and cover but to draw and fight. Instantly a Maliwan automatic pistol is in one hand and a Torgue shotgun in the other. Time seems to slow as you turn to see the bandit technical on its raised wheels launching over the fence around Ellie's property. It's practically above you which presents a rather convenient target. Your eyes focus on just the right spot as the corrosive bullets begin to spit from the Maliwan's muzzle, only to be followed by two hard blasts from the shotgun targeting the fuel line. That's all that's needed at that point to cause a chain reaction and result in the car exploding before it even hits the ground.

It's only then that you leap behind the racer you'd been driving in anticipation of the second vehicle. You're in real time now and it looks as if you might be in trouble until machine gun fire catches your attention. Ellie, moving with surprising speed and grace for a woman her size, has clambered into the seat of a machine gun turret and is chewing up the second technical to lead to another explosion. You straighten up with relief, but it's short lived.

"Incoming, cutie!" comes her voice both playful and urgent, "Two more of 'em!"

You nod and jump into the driver seat of the racer. It's not as much of a war vehicle as the technical, but you don't need it to be. All you need to do is keep the gunfire off of Ellie and let her perforate the coming technicals. Turns out you have another advantage given that once the two bandit vehicles have cleared the fence, they've got nowhere to go. Between you harassing them with speed and gunfire and Ellie doing the rest with the turret, they've got no chance. When the danger is over, you park again and hop out to see Ellie (breathless but uninjured) climbing back down.

"Well, that was fun," you comment, stepping to her side and taking one of her hands to help steady her, "I hope there's more of them to blow up."

"Oh there is," says Ellie with a snicker, "And thanks for bein' my hero just now."

Ellie's soft but strong hand is suddenly on the back of your head and you find yourself pulled into a hard and hungry kiss that just about sucks the breath out of you while your skinny body is practically buried by her mammary mass and enveloping belly. The adrenaline of the sudden danger was enough to kick the blood flow to your groin and but this has your "personal rifle" standing at full attention with its bulge prodding shamelessly against Ellie's softness. When your mouth is released, Ellie winks at you and takes a step back.

"Tell you what," she says, "you take care of this problem for me so I'll stay alive. Then we'll see what comes of that, too."

"I seem to be spoiled for incentives," you assure her with a wink of your own, "So, what's the first step."

"The bandits call themselves the Road Hogs," Ellie explains, "they got ahold of a hacked Catch-A-Ride station that lets them have as many cars as they want. That needs to be destroyed first. Scooter has already given his okay to that. Once we do that, they lose their main advantage, and we can wipe 'em out."

All that sounds reasonable, the question is, how to go about it.
