A General, her Dog and her Sword
.
I once heard rumors of a Minuteman General lady who once singlehandedly fought against an entire group of feral ghouls all by her lonesome. With just a single dog & a revolutionary blade. See longtime back a group of ferals was attacking a harmless settlement of tribals who were minding their business. That is until this feral ghoul as big as a car comes out of nowhere & was leading a whole pack of other ferals. Luckily for them one of the generals of the Minutemen came to their aid, along with her loyal canine. And told their chieftain that she would handle these ghouls for them. She asked for no payment and insisted she go alone with just her trusty dog.
.
I know sounds crazy right? Random bitch with a pooch comes out of the freaking blue, wearing blue Minutemen colors no less, taking on a whole pack. Yeah well...fuck you it happened anyway.
.
So here she is heading to a Bad Area full of these rotting bastards. And uses her trusty lazer musket to try and snipe the ferals' leader. What she didn't know was this unusual giant ghoul was way too clever for a feral. And somehow seen her coming a mile away. All pissed off, the big ghoul screeches it's pack to attack her and her dog, surrounding them both.
.
Unfortunately for them this woman came packing with other weapons. Because from what I was told...this bitch was from a land called Texas. So in a flash she pulls out a revolver plugging every single ghoul one-by-one. She almost got half the group, but one gun after another, she ran out of ammo. However this wasn't her end yet. She then pulls out a blade & starts hacking at them like a batshit out of hell, while her dog rips out their throats.
.
Hours go by till dawn & only her, her dog and the wounded giant ghoul are facing off. Her dog charged first, aiming for the bastard's leg. Trying to pull that huge fucker to the ground, just so his mistress can strike the final blow. It almost worked but he only pissed the thing off, only to have him smack the dog into a giant rock. She tried swinging her blade at his arms, but it hardly effected him, has he grabbed her and slams her into the ground. As he was about to strike her down with it's fist, the General's dog leaps off the rock, onto his back and bites the back of the giant ghoul's neck. Then the General grabs her sword and thrusts it deep into his rotting heart.
.
The rotting giant looks at his chest seeing the blade in it. Then it dies on top of her, as she tries pushing the huge corpse off her. Pulling her bloody sword out of the giant corpse, she calls her dog. And then they both limp off back to the settlement where she almost died that day. However she lived to tell the tribals and her men what has happened. And told them it was thanks to her dog and blade that she managed to survive.
.
To this day her blade is now a part of legend. A legend all ghouls fear by the sight or smell of their fellow ghouls' blood. It goes by many names, but to some they call it the Ghoul Slayer Blade. Or some lame-ass name like the Ghoul Stabber or some shit.
.
The guy who told me about it never said it's real name for original reasons and I think he said he's working on a name still. But he said so long as I gave it another cool nickname he was fine with in. So a big thank you to him for sharing his character's story and hope to make more good ones with him in the future.
