The side characters
Prologue: 4NARCHY 4EVER!!!
It had been two months since Jack's death, Hyperion still roams Pandora, and the Bandits were slowly diminishing. The Vault hunters had won the battle, and they were sure as hell that they were going to win the war! The day of his death was the mark of Hyperion's downfall. That day was a great day, emphasize on 'Was'. You see, this story isn't about Pandora and its 'table turning' events, you see, this story is about Gaige... and Krieg... in a way.
"Gaaaaaaaaige!" Yelled out a certain Siren with blue hair.
"Not now Maya!" Yelled out a specific mechromancer.
"No, right now Gaige! You haven't done the dishes in two weeks, and now the house smells of skagpiles!"
"Yea, later, I'm doing my echocast!"
"That's what you said last time! If you don't get down here and do the dishes, I'll get up there and knock some sense into you! You hear me?"
Gaige ignored the smelly blue haired siren and went back to her echocast. "Sorry guys, just having a couple of problems here and there with the others. Anywho, and then Krieg got REALLY angry and he was all like, 'Hey, I'm gonna kill you' but Axton was like, 'Nooo" and then they both exploded. So yea, the moral of the story is don't eat any of Krieg's peanuts, he gets pissed. So, yea, I guess that's all I can ta- OH YEA, side note, project: Five high is going, AWWWWWESOME, just gotta fix his pinky finger cuz, it twitch's, and you know, it gets in the way of high fives; and it's ugly. Soooo, yea... BYE!" And with that Gaige quickly turned off her Echo recorder and threw it onto her desk.
Ever since Jack died, The Crimson Raiders were able to scavenge Hyperion tech, and well, considering Sanctuary was wrecked, they put two and two together, and improved the city. The buildings were fully repaired, new buildings were floating with the city, and as a little bonus, the small half destroyed room that was located on the second floor of the Crimson Raiders HQ is now a hallway. The hallway consisted of 3 doos, leading to ocupied rooms. Gaige of which lives in the room on the far right of the hallway. Mordicai left, saying something about 'taking care of fresh meat in the flock', while Brick left to take out remaining Hyperion personal by himself, like a badass. Lilith, stangely enough, decided that sleeping on the roof of the Crimsn Raiders HQs was a comfy spot to sleep on.
Gaige sighed in her chair, "Two months, heh, I can't believe it's been two months.." Gaige gazes off before a rude visitor comes in.
"Gaige! Get off your fat ass and do the fucking dishes!" bitched Maya.
"Oh fine! Calm yo tities, Biotch," Gaige got up from her chair "least dirty dishes isn't as dirty as humping Axton!"
Rage filled Maya's eyes, but the fire in her extinguished, "Gaige, I told you before, I don't do that, and to never bring up that topic, ever!" Said Maya in a calm tone.
"MEAT!" yelled Krieg who was taped up to Maya's door.
Gaige rolled her eyes "Whatever.."
Walking past Maya, the red haired teenager went down stairs past Zer0 and Salvador, who of which were having a conversation on a coach that they found in a Hyperion base.
"..So, as I grabbed that supid engineer, I shoved the barrel of my shotgun RIGHT down his eye sockets! And then, pfft ha, and then.." Salvador was laughing his ass off about some story.
"I'm very sorry / But I am not amused / So shut the hell up!" replied Zer0 in a Japanese tradition.
"Oh come on, you suck, just like Engineer!" groaned the gunzerker.
Salvador got up from the couch and left.
'He's probably going to kill some badass skags, then devour their corpse's' thought gaige as she drops the dishs into the hot water; Maya didn't say that she needed to do them properly!
Maya, who of which was behind Gaige, checked that she was doing the dishes, and left the HQ, "Better smell nice when I come back" yelled Maya.
Zer0 sat on the couch with its newspaper reading an article, her/his visor turned to Gaige. "What is the matter? / Is there something going on? / Or am I a fool?"
Zer0 was always one to turn to when Gaige wanted to be honest about something, she keeps secrets, unlike the rest of the crew.
"Well one, you should so lay off the Haikus man. That's like, 15th century. Go for Anarchy, cause it's awesome!"
Zer0 sat there in silence, a small chuckle could be heard inside of Zer0's mask.
"I stay in the past / Anarchy is just foolish / What is your problem?" replied Zer0, obviously he wanted to know what Gaige's problem was.
Gaige takes in a deep breath "I know I complain a lot, but, Maya has been REALLY getting up my ass lately, seriously, I have done the dishes yesterday! And she is all like 'Oh hey Gaige, just to be a bitch I'm going to put food, ALLL over the plates just so you can clean them up!' she won't ever go away, and all she cares about is humping Axton!" bitched the redhead who just threw the plates and cups in the drainer out of pure anger.
Zer0 nodded and laid back "Gaige, let me tell you something that a wise man once told me, well actually a psycho that I plunged my blade into said this, but: 'Take your problems by the horns of a horned skag!'"
Gaige stood there in silence, considering what he said "Yeaa, I'd rather get eaten alive by a badass bullymong.."
Zer0 facepalmed, or, well, for this matter, helmet palmed.
Axton entered the room, before he asked, Gaige pointed out the door, "She left a minute ago, if you're fast enough you can catch up to her."
A smile grew on Axtons face "Oh, uh, cool!" within a matter of seconds Axton ran out the door, with speeds rivalling those of a badass shock skag.
Zer0 sighed "When the time comes..." with that he turned a page in the newspaper (The Pandora we know) and started reading another article.
Gaige groaned and marched back upstairs, Death-Trap's third arm needed attending to (If you know what I mea- *Boom! Headshot Fatality!*).
2 hours later
Krieg sat in one corner of Gaige's room while she installed Death-Traps third arm onto his back. Why Krieg was in the room? Because he is insane, and you don't piss off insane guys like him because he'll BURN THE PLACE DOWN!
"I have a [Super bad] feeling about this, you will have a [94.2%] chance of failing this experiment." Stated Death-Trap.
A few weeks after Jack's defeat, as a side project for the third arm, Gaige made a voice modulator that made it so that Death-Trap has his own voice. It was based very much around the voice modulator of Jacks voice on Jack's body double.
"Oh come on, it can't be that bad, I mean, I'm just installing a third arm!"
"Which is exactly why we should stop, placing the arm on my back is a stupid idea."
"Oh don't be like that, I promised that third arm for a while, I should at least keep my promise."
There was a quick struggle before Gaige turned off Death-Trap's movement privilege, Death-Trap sighed.
"Like I had a choice, I had no voice then." whined the Metallic beast
"Oh yea? what would you say if you had a voice modulator back then?"
"Oh, I'd say 'Hello sexy cheeks, let me protect your hot ass' is that what you want?"
Gaige felt her cheeks go the same color as her hair, "I er, uh, no!"
In truth, she would, but she is too embarrassed to do it out loud.
"Okay, for now on, I'll say that" chuckled Death-Trap.
"What? nononono!! Don't!"
"Well take off this third arm"
"I'll take off your voice modulator!"
"Valid point"
Gaige installed the Nerve A.I. into the arm, now Death-Trap could move the arm freely, once Gaige turned his movement privileges on. Installed a few more cords and the Hands A.I. system was able to transport into Death-Traps A.I. core. Now she had to put the plating over the cords and such.
Wasn't too long until the silence was killed.
"WHERE DO BABIES AND SHINY THINGS COME FROM?" bellowed Krieg.
Gaige groaned, "Seriously? we told you before, babies come from wombs, and 'shiny' things come from factories, get that in your head!"
Krieg sat in silence "I already have baby in my head, well, kind of, after I squashed a midget thing through my ears to make the voice in my head be quiet, or was it john? I NEED SHINY.. do you have shiny?"
"Krieg I was referring to the metaphor, 'Get it in your head' means 'to remember the information'" groaned Gaige as she bolts in the plating over the wires and cords.
"I NEED SHINEEEY!"
Gaige groaned, she reached into her tool box and threw a random bolt at Krieg "Now shut up, I'm working on the casing, if I screw this up I may have to restart everything!"
"It's not shiny enough!"
"Dammit Krieg shut up!"
"He does have a point, it's dirty" stated Death-Trap.
"Don't make me tear out your voice modulator!"
"Yes Mom!"
"Good!"
After a few minutes of drilling, welding and careful hammer time, The third arm was successfully installed onto Death-Trap's back. The arm was fully functional by the looks of it, and it wasn't getting in the way of anything. As soon as Gaige turned on DT's movement privileges, his third arm came to life, Gaige's eyes widened with joy.
"Okay, now lets give this a test ru-"
"GOD DAMN IT GAIGE, I"M COMING UP THERE AND YOU ARE GOING TO FUCKING GET IT!"
"Ohhh, crap, quick, lets give this a test run!"
"But I think we should move to a safer environment instead of your ro-"
"I don't care, not enough time! Lets give this baby a go before that bitch comes in!"
Death-Trap sighed "Okay.."
"MEAT!" Krieg pulled out a bag of shattered glass from nowhere and started munching on it through his mask.
In a few dramatic seconds, Gaige threw her hand in the air, while Death-Trap threw his third arm into the air as well. The door to Gaiges room slamed open, Maya was very pissed. Just as Gaige and Death-Trap collided hands Gaige yelled out her last words before she was phaselocked.
"ANARCHY!!!"
Gaige and Death-Trap disappeared, while krieg got sucked into the phaselock.
"NIPPLE SALAAAAAAAAAAD!!!" Were Kriegs last words before he got sucked in the void.
Gaige, Death-Trap and Krieg disappeared.
Maya stood there in utter silence as she recalled what had just happened. It only took her a couple of seconds to realise what she had just done.
"Well shit..."
