There was nothing for a hundred miles north of Bleakfire Outpost that could hide them, nowhere for Cloudhawk and the others to hunker dohile their pursuers swept byAs the party from Greenland fled, they were set upon quickly by a hail of arrows

One of the Greenland soldiers shouted“The sweepers are catching up!”
Aside from lizard mounts, sweepers also had a host of vehicles they also used to hunt down preyEach one was strange and unique, patched together fro up froies that were a hodge-podge of mismatched metal, motorcycles with two or more wheels, and a few other kinds Cloudhawk had never seen beforeAltogether there were about fifty on their tail, and though that wasn’t leaders
One was tall and thin and raced after them atop a fabricated motorcycle with six wheelsAffixed to the front was a bull skull with its two vicious horns pointed forwardJudging by his equipment this one was aa flail overhead while he sat astride a wasteland lizardHis whole body was encased in steel armor as was hishis weaponIt was a stick with a six foot chain attached, which ended with a nasty looking spiked ballHe wielded it with such ease Cloudhawk shuddered to think of the dae it would do to flesh and bone if it hit hi sores and dead skinThe creature was certainly an odd sight, both for his weapon and his mode of transportationHe held a scythe the size of aout fro his transport, he had it strapped to his back
It was a heavy and cuineFour wheels were strapped to his feet like shoes and thus the thrust fro forwardBlack s a clear trail in his wakeAll the sweeper needed to do was keep his balance and he was able to ski atop the sands like water
This oddly equipped handful of sweepers were a perfect representation of a typical wasteland-style elite squadCloudhawk looked back and watched theain on him
“Deal with ‘e back his earth wyret, ai went slackThe scythe-wielder saw it co and wrenched his hips to the side, which spun his wheeled feet off trajectory and carved an erratic trench in the sandThe arroept by and y just behind

The raggedy vehicle iroundLike a boulder splashi+ng into a lake huge plu into the air while parts of the vehicle shot off in all directionsThe sweepers nearby darted out of the way to avoid being crushed but never slowed down their pursuit
In response the sweeper on the motorcycle levels his crossbow and fired off a few bolts
His weapon was a type rarely seen in the wastelands, a crossbow that was relatively weaker than others but capable of firing off several shots in close successionIt was especially suited for situations just like thisA couple of the Greenland fighters’ mounts were hit with arrows the sweeper had s down
“Catch up! Kill theeance for the master!”
The scythe-bearer snarled hideously, his companions whooped and roared like a back of olvesThe sound of it made the humans shudder
Cloudhawk pulled the rifle froun was a hand an incredible punchHe tightened his legs against the lizard’s flanks, released the reigns and aiun“You die first”
Crack!
The sound of the rifle was just as striking as its powerIt took hiun spat out was faster than any arrowStill the sweeper chief was an ene the trigger he h the sand, but didn’t take hih to miss the bullet
Cloudhawk’s shot struck hih his skin
The young wastelander yanked back the bolt to clear the bullet cartridge and clear the gun’s cha toward a boulderWith no concern for what Cloudhaas doing the lizard leapt up to avoid the obstacle, forcing his rider to nearly get pitched offLuckily he was able to catch hins

The chief pressed ahead until he was by Cloudhawk’s sideHe raised his scythe high then brought it doith a deadly whistle – enough strength to disembowel the human if not chop him in half!
Cloudhawk threw hi off a fair bit of hairHis foe swiftly and deftly brought the scythe around and prepared for another swingHe was at least as capable as Mad Dog had been
