Pre-Sequel - 5

~You

I finally arrived to where the coordinates were to see Nisha standing by a wrecked car waiting for me.

Nisha: "About time, I was getting bored."

Arix: "Sorry, got busy with--"

Nisha: "Don't care, we're looking for this poet's wife or whatever who decided to drive out of Concordia, found this wreck not long ago."

Arix: "Alright, you find anything?"

Nisha: "Nope, did my part finding the damn thing, your turn to find something."

Sighing I walk over to the crashed buggy and looked out seeing a neatly placed Echo log near the driver seat, strange, I take it out and showed Nisha who just gestured me to play.

Echo: "Myron, my love, I'm trapped in the wreckage of our car and surrounded by evil bandits! If you get this message, forget me, live free! Goodbyeee!"

We look at each other not buying the bull we just heard but hoping for an easy job Nisha called in to this Myron guy who gave her the mission.

Nisha: "Mhm... Maybe... Okay, sure, my pleasure. Okay so we're going to a bandit settlement nearby."

Arix: "What?"

Nisha: "Says he believes she might still be alive so we're going there to see if she is or not, c'mon, I'm driving."

Arix: "But that's my buggy--"

Nisha: "I said I'm driving."

She gets in the driver seat and while I wanted to say something I couldn't bring myself to do it. I just felt like I'd get shot the minute I open my mouth so I just listened getting in the gunner seat. As soon as she stepped on the petal the buggy started zooming across the moon at high speeds with Nisha yelling out in excitement.

Arix: "Nisha! Slow down!"

Nisha: "No way! We're almost there, just keep your pants on."

Arix: "Nisha please!"

Nisha: "I already said no so just shut it!"

My heart was racing as I held on to the gun so I wouldn't fly off. I tried telling her to slow down but I don't think she could hear me. Either that or choosing to ignore me. We were heading towards a large hill and while she did try to turn she seemed to have some difficulty.

Nisha: "Okay, good news and bad news!"

Arix: "I don't like the sound of that..."

Nisha: "Good news, we're at our location. Bad news, we're gonna crash so we have to jump out!"

Arix: "W-What?!"

Without another word she jumps out the moving vehicle. I begin to panic and look ahead seeing the rock wall approach fast. I pulled myself out of the gunner seat and threw myself off in time to see my buggy crash and blow up into the steep hill.

Arix: "My buggy..."

Nisha: "Relax, we can digistruct another, now get up we need to scope this place out."

She kept walking leaving me to dust myself off and follow her. We got to a vantage point watching over the entire scav camp. They were throwing their latest goods in some boxes, fixing their vehicles, or just beating the crap out of each other til they pass out... Or more accurately die. Nisha took her Jakobs sniper and looked around the camp finding a normal looking woman staring out a window.

Nisha: "Huh, what do you know, she is alive."

Arix: "Cool, they look to be busy, maybe we can be quick and get her out... Nisha?"

I look over to her to see no one and look down the hill watching her slide down with her revolvers choosing to shoot first and ask questions later. I face palm and get my shotgun out following her lead just to get a face full of moon dust but I lifted myself up to help Nisha in the fight throwing fire from my hand and blasting heads off with my shotgun. After the final wave of crazies went down I decided to check out the storage room to find a large red chest. Opening it up was a few different manufactured pistols, ammo, and a grenade mod. I saw a nice Tediore pistol I thought might come in handy but before I had the chance to pick it up Nisha grabbed it from the chest.

Arix: "Hey, I was gonna get that."

Nisha: "But you didn't, sorry not sorry, try to be quicker."

She walked away as I opened my mouth only to fumble with my words and stay quiet hitting myself in the head. I got out to see the woman meet us outside a little angry.

Deirdre: "Woah! What's the big idea killing my men?"

Arix: "Your men? We were told to rescue you by some dude named Myron?"

Deirdre: "Ah bugger, listen he seems sweet but the guy's super crazy! I mean I woke up in the middle of the night he was staring at me and when I go to see my friends he follows me. When he wanted our anniversary to be a suicide pact I KNEW I had to escape so I cooked up a dramatic death."

Arix: "And you didn't think to kill him why?"

Deirdre: "He's got too big a family that would come after me, but I do have a plan, can you help?"

Arix: "Sure,  if he's as crazy as you say I wouldn't mind."

Nisha: "You better pay double."

Deirdre: "Thank you, now listen up..."

And like that we took a buggy from her camp to search for her evil sister to kill. I knew Pandora was a nutty place but I didn't think its moon would be the same. I eyed the Tediore Nisha took and grumbled to myself trying to speak up but was no use. I still let her drive when she said she wanted to.

Nisha: "I'm surprised you're still kicking." I look over to her puzzled, "I gave you an hour to fall over dead but you've surprised me."

Arix: "That your best attempt to a compliment?"

Nisha: "C'mon handsome, I'm just trying to make small talk." I look away seeing some scavs fighting some giant squid thing in the distance, "Fine, be that way, you'll probably be dead sooner than later anyway."

The rest of the drive was silent as we rolled up to some garage door on a mountain. Nisha decided to stay in the car while I got out to knock on it.

Arix: "Hello? Anyone in there?"

Mavreen: "Who's there! What do you want."

Arix: "Oh uh, your sister wanted us to check on you, mind letting us in?"

Mavreen: "Deirdre, yes I know, sure come on in but first I'd like you to meet a couple friends I'd like you to meet." A grenade was thrown in the passenger seat of the buggy catching NIsha's eye. She jumped out the buggy losing her second vehicle in less than an hour as scavs jumped out at us, "I bugged my sister's new base! I know what you're here to do! Get them!"

I hid behind a non-elemental barrel as Nisha took cover behind the destroyed buggy taking shots at the scavs. Seeing how I had less cover and more scavs were coming out I needed to get to her.

Arix: "Nisha, cover me, I'm running to you!"

Nisha: "Sounds good!"

I wait for a good time for them to reload before I took off sprinting as fast as you could on the moon but as I did I saw Nisha try to shoot her Tediore but nothing came out as I had to jump behind cover to avoid getting shot.

Arix: "What happened to cover me!?"

Nisha: "I don't know how to reload this!"

Arix: "Are you kidding me? Just throw it!"

Nisha: "What? No way!"

Arix: "No not throw it away-- Just give it to me!"

Nisha: "Yeah right, just tell me how to reload, I just need practice. I specialize in Jakobs not this."

A scav jumps over us but luckily to the low atmosphere he just made himself an easy target to my shotgun. I facepalm trying to get her to give it to me or throw it but just gets mad trying to do it herself. I look over to see the scavs get closer unloading round after round at us. My blood is boiling as I look to Nisha.

Arix: "Nisha, please give me the gun!"

Nisha: "Piss off."

Arix: "Grrr..... I'LL PISS ON YOUR GRAVE NOW GIVE IT TO ME!"

I take it out of her hands and tossed it into the group of Scavs creating a small explosion taking one out as Nisha looked shocked as a new pistol digistructed in my hand.

Arix: "Start shooting heads off."

Nisha: "Hey, don't tell me what--"

Arix: "I'll say whatever the Hell I have to for you to listen! Now shoot!"

SHe glared but took her revolvers out shooting at I shot one bullet and threw the pistol again making a bigger explosion and jumping over the buggy getting into the fight. Nisha focused beginning her showdown getting nothing with headshots as I kept throwing the pistol. The garage door opened as Mavreen drove out of it.

Arix: "Nisha, she's making a run for it!"

Nisha holstered her revolvers taking her sniper out and quickly taking her back tires out. Mavreen spun out while I calculated and with a full clip in the pistol threw it causing a large explosion.

~Claptrap

Claptrap: "Wub wub wub, drop!"

Everyone: "Shut up!"

BBOOOOOOMM!!

We all look at the horizon seeing a small mushroom cloud. I look at the other four and worry.

Claptrap: "Should we be worried about that?"

Wilhelm: "Nah."

Claptrap: "Oh, okay!"

~You

Mavreen's body landed next to us lifeless as we beat down the last Scavs in the area. I grabbed their faces through their Oz helmets and using the oxygen to burn their faces as Nisha used the butt of her sniper to bash the brains of a poor soul who probably died from the first couple bashes. After the last of the scavs dropped dead Nisha and I stared at each other glaring. I was expecting a yelling, shootout, anything violent but before I knew it our lips were connected. With our adrenaline kicking I guess needed some release, why we decided in the middle of a battlefield while we were somewhat covered in blood and surrounded by dead bodies I don't know but something told me Nisha didn't care, in fact it probably excited her more. After we finished let out that extra energy and getting redressed I took a picture of Mavreen's body sending it to Myron saying it was his wife and luckily he bought it... Then decided to kill himself in order for them to be together... Oh well, he was insane. We told Deride the good news and after thanking sent us the money she promised.

Arix: "Mission complete."

Nisha: "You can say that again~"

She hugged me from behind feeling my chest as I just roll my eyes and sigh.

Arix: "I think we should get back with the others now."

Nisha: "What's the hurry?"

We look up at Helios as it shot a purple beam into the moon causing everything to shake uncontrollably.

Arix: "That." She complains but gets off me as we find a spare buggy in the garage. I get into the driver seat without a second thought, "I'm never letting you drive again."

Nisha: "Shut up, you had fun."

Arix: "Didn't say I didn't."

I smile as I start it up and drive. Nisha looked off to the distance. I don't know if its respect or whatever she showed me back there but at least she'll take me a little more seriously.

Nisha: "Hey, Arix, you can keep the pistol."

Arix: I already have it but--"

Nisha: As long as your gun belongs to just me~"

Arix: "My gun?"

She points down at my crotch with a wink as my face turned into a tomato making her laugh. I prefer her like this, she might be a bit psycho herself at times but that just means I won't have to worry for her, its her enemies that deserve that worry, because if they're just shot in the head its a mercy anything else... I'd rather not think about.

Nisha: "Kraggon."

Arix: "What--Woah!"

I run over a kraggon making me spin out and crash on a boulder.

Nisha: "Not so easy, is it?"

I roll my eyes starting the car back up getting a kiss on the cheek from Nisha lifting my spirits up again for the time being. But right now we're on a mission, next stop, the military AI.
