Brick had just rounded the final corner, separating him and the action, when a bellow rang out behind him, he turned just in time to dodge a shoulder tackle from a raider. Brick stepped back and scrabbled at his side for his holstered revolver.
"Kill.... Youuuu" The raider said, raising a knife.
Brick's hand found the grip, he pulled hard and brought the gun around.
"Sorry bud, rock beats scissors" he quipped as he fired, blowing a hole through the raider's left eye.
Gunshots rang out as two bullets whizzed by Brick's head, narrowly missing him. He spun his head in time to see another raider running him down while another provided cover fire. Brick dropped to a knee and returned fire. It took three precious shots to down the runner. Another two to put down the shooter. Brick stood up and dusted himself off to check for injuries. He was just about to get back on the move when he was blindsided by a punch to the head. He found himself pushed up against a wall with a large, unpleasant smelling raider screaming in his face.

"YOU FORGE?! YOU KILL HARDY?! SCUZZ KILL YOU!"

[i]'This must be his buddy. Knew that fucker was a raider'[/i] Brick thought. He still had some lateral movement. He had managed to keep ahold of his gun. Now he just had to nail the swing.

The raider named Scuzz scrambled back, holding his ear. Brick brought his gun up to fire and finish this fight.

"Shit" He didn't have time to reload or pull his shotgun. His eyes dropped to the ground in front of him. He had dropped the Tenderizer when the first raider had bum-rushed him, and there it was. He dropped to grab it, then glanced up to see Scuzz recovering, without any time to think, Brick followed his first instinct, he jabbed upward and bashed Scuzz in the face with the tip, then swung from where he crouched at the raider's ankles, knocking him off his feet.

"You see this? This was your buddy Hardy's. I should've told him to shove it up his ass, but what can I say? I'm tryin' to run a business here. So I crafted this masterpiece. Then he came for it, and I was reminded of the kind of scum I was dealing with. Hell, maybe my mind was made up long before he walked in, but regardless, to answer your question. Yeah. I am Forge, and I killed your buddy Hardy. I did it with this" he held up the Tenderizer "See the blood here? I cracked his jaw in half. You should've heard him squeal as he begged for his life. I felt merciful that day, so I swung again, and brained him in one. You roaches are all the same, you act tough, take what you want, but as soon as someone pushes back, you turn into frightened children. Look at you, cowering on the ground. Listen, I've got work to do, so I'm gonna cut this short. You're already dead, so stand up and take it like a man. UP!"

Scuzz slowly made his way to his feet, quietly whimpering as he struggling to stay balanced. Brick twirled the Tenderizer and brought it around, slamming into the large man's midsection. His armor bent inward and Brick definitely felt a couple of ribs crack, but Scuzz stayed standing. The large raider stepped forward, pulling a knife from his belt and swung wildly. Brick moved to defend himself, but the blade still scraped across his forearm, drawing blood. Brick gasped in pain, he swung the Tenderizer again, bashing Scuzz in the hip. He brought the bat up over his head gripped with both hands, blood flowing freely from his wound now. He crashed the weapon down and caved in Scuzz's head, then he swung again, and again, until the raider's head was an unrecognizable mess of broken skull, smeared blood, and smushed brain matter. Brick heard a throat clearing behind him and turned to see Joe standing there.
"Impressive he stayed up so long" the bodyguard noted, as he lazily tore a strip of cloth from his shirt to wrap Brick's wound.
"We gonna get to it or what?"
Brick reloaded his gun and nodded "Let's finish this. Cover me"

Brick ran out into the chaos, immediately he began to process the scene. Reese and a raider were fighting on the ground, with blood flying everywhere. A woman was mounted on the back of some massive beast, it seemed she was corralling it to use as a weapon. He spotted Chase and Aurora taking cover outside the shop, and made a beeline to join them.
"You ok?" he asked Aurora "My guys are clearing the lower end of town, they're working their way up here. So let's finish this"
He heard Reese cry out “Quickly, take him out, don't worry about me!” and he realized what was happening.
"I have a shot!" he called out, raising his revolver.
