Author note: Attention everyone! I am happy to report that as of today I am officially posting the free chapters of my new Harry Potter story! If you are on Web novel the chapters will be available shortly and if you are on Scribble hub it might take a day or so for the story to go through, assuming it does.
Sincerely Loskro~

The part of the Salt flats that we could access easily weren't very large, maybe a bit smaller than the Dahl headlands we had access to. It also certainly didn't help that the base of the abandoned excavator in the middle of it was nearly as big as New Haven and much more vertical as well. Add on a rather good sized bandit camp around that beast of a machine and the actual area you could drive in wasn't very large. As if that wasn't bad enough despite talking all that good shit Flint's camp was locked up tighter than a virgin in a whorehouse.-
"I could jump the fence to open the way but I'm going to get shot the fuck up if I do." I said seriously after we had drove around the camp a couple of tis but saw no may in that wasn't sealed.
"No choice, do it." Roland said.
"Wish luck." I said with a grin as I got out of my badger and rushed the fence.
The bandits watching laughed at this thinking they were safe until I reached the base of the fence and transferred all my forward montum upwards as I leaped.-
I went up and over the rusted and crude ten foot fence and rolled as I hit the ground. Popping up to my feet I whipped out my gun and dod the slack jawed bandits staring at . That did it as the whole camp burst into action like a hornets nest having been disturbed. I ignored that however as I dashed towards the nearest entrance which was held shut by a thick chain winch. Taking aim with my gun I shot the chain causing it to snap sending the thick tal "gate" dropping heavily and opening the way for my friends.-
Ti to hunt.
The camp was mostly a collection of tents made with scrap and questionable origin leather. Flints status as the "bandit king" was also pretty clear as the camp had well over a hundred bandits in it and they were all after my ass. There was no waiting behind cover for back up as the psychos rushed from it and trying to fight them only exposed to their buddies bullets. I stripped off my jacket as I ran and stuffed it in my inventory before stopping to do sothing risky.-
I flared all of my elental body traits at full blast out of my entire torso. I lit up like a fucking firework as toxic green flas roared off of scorching my surroundings and arcs of electricity shot out zapping anything even remotely tallic. The psychos got the full brunt of this elental maelstrom straight to the fucking face as they lted all the while screaming in agony. Even the hail of bullets screaming through the air at burnt and lted mid flight before evaporating re inches from my shield.-
"Not to rush you guys or anything but I can't hold this light show for very long!" I said over the echo with gritted teeth as I felt the strain these traits were having on my body.
There was a damned good reason why I never used them like this. These traits took a serious toll on not only from the elents themselves causing damage that I had to resist but also because the way they worked ant I was practically burning my stamina to hold them at such intensity. Using the traits on rely a small area like my hands was not a huge strain but my full upper body like this? Like weight lifting to failure, repeatedly.-
Thankfully my friends were quite adept at causing death and destruction as they took off the pressure on when they burst onto the scene with a series of grenades. Kinda hard to focus on shooting a guy when you are blown to bits. That brief period of relief was all I needed to get behind a tal thing that while rusted was thick enough to stop most bullets. I stopped using my traits and breathed a sigh of relief as the strain stopped and my regeneration got to work fixing the damage.-
My flesh that had lted and burnt scabbed over and began pealing off under my bodysuit which was annoying as hell to deal with but I chose to ignore it for now. My friends anwhile kept up the pressure with Mordy sniping people and Roland using his turret to provide cover and return fire to the bandits. Lil popped up, shot a couple bandits and then vanished again on repeat making coordination impossible for them. Brick took advantage of this to charge into the thick of it and throw lightning fast punches each punctuated with a death upon impact.-
My regeneration finished it's work so I threw my coat back on and joined the fun. With our flawless teamwork we had the bandits dying left and right. I didn't even bother checking the corpses traits but went straight to ripping out the lifeforce as we fought causing my stores to grow dramatically the more we killed. A wide grin was holding it's place on my face as I felt alive as the adrenaline flooded my body and my powers sang from the feast of lifeforce. I didn't even notice when the energy wings of my powers manifested from my back as I gleefully tore through the terrified bandits.-
"It seems you've beaten a path to my door. Who am I to deny those so doggedly eager for death? Please, co into my humble abode." Flint sent over the echo once we killed the last of the bandits and I drew in their lifeforce.
For a brief mont my powers ravenous hunger turned it's gaze on my friends and I firmly smashed it down.
'Not happening.' I thought with a scoff as my wings faded.
"What's up with those wings?" Brick asked curiously as we grouped up again.
"Siren thing, when we push our powers to a certain point the wings pop out. Not sure if they let us fly though, a test for when I have more free ti that." I said frankly.
"So I could do that too?" Lil asked eagerly.
"Probably, should be easier than doing it due to how your powers work too." I said with a nod.
"Man you sirens are just all kinds of unfair." Mordy said with a chuckle.
"To be fair our powers were made to be weapons so yeah." I said with a shrug.
We walked around looting the piles of corpse dust for a few minutes before heading to the lift located under the main body of the excavator. As the lift rose up Flint sent us another echo that was obviously sarcastic in nature.
"Guests! Please, make yourselves at ho. My n will be with your shortly. Never let it be said that the great Baron Flint is short on hospitality!" he said before going silent again.
I noticed that the great machine seed to actually be in semi-functional condition as the gears were still turning just behind a grate we passed as the lift rose.
'Might claim this thing for myself later.' I thought seriously.
One of the biggest problems with Eridian ruins is having to dig the damned things up once found and this excavator would make that job super easy. Granted I'd probably also need to sink a rather sizeable chunk of change into it to fix it up first but the long term pay out was totes worth it. Soon enough though the lift reached the top of the excavator and we got our first look at Flint in person. He was sitting on a junk throne at the highest accessible point of the whole rig smoking what appeared to be a joint. -
He also had signs positioned around the throne pointing at it and when the lite up one flickered out he smacked it to turn it back on before sending us a lazy finger gun motion. Mordy raised his gun to snipe the guy but he simply moved out of view real fast. As the prick had said shutter doors opened up to reveal more bandits who wasted no ti trying to kill us. Most of them were psychos though so I went for lee rather than gunplay.-
There was sothing profoundly satisfying about punching the lights out of soone permanently. Honestly I totally got why Brick preferred his fists so much. My mood only improved further when so malford "badass" psychos showed up with buzz axes the size of a leg. They had one tiny arm and shriveled side of their body while the other was much larger than normal and covered in thick muscles. They were fun to play with. Still died like bitches but fun none the less.
