Ever since they had gotten back form the outpost the raided to steal a component they needed to use the codes given to them by the Hyperion soldier they tortured. They riiged it up to their computer, but nothing happen when the used the codes. After the raid, Lilith sent the Vault hunters out on a different lead from before, but there was nothing to be found there. After awhile they discovered a lot of deactivated loaders all around sanctuary. It's been four days and still nothing, so Lilth gave them time off to do whatever until they can solve the problem. The Vault Hunters had nothing else to do but take in what Sanctuary offered, which wasn't a lot other than smelly bar with a slutty milf running it. So they decided to just drink until something comes up. They sat in their normal booth located in the far back of Moxxi's. Not everyone was there, Zero was up in his meditating spot on the roof and Krieg was watching the sun on top of the 'Crimson Raider's HQ'. As they were all soaking in the free time, Lilith was trying to figure out why Hyperion went silent, but was getting nowhere and hasn't slept since their silence. Brick walked into the command room to talk to Lilith. "You need to sleep, Lil'. I know it's suspicious that they've gone quiet all of the sudden, but damn it! You're not pulling this again. Not ehilr I'm around" Brick said as he put his hand on her shoulder.

"Pulling what again, Brick?" She asked lazily.

"After Roland died you where up for another week and a half. I had to knock you out." Brick chuckled.

"Yeah, you dislodged my eye ball you jack-ass." Lilith looked up at him a smiled.

Brick smiled back, but seen that she was half conscious and looked like she would fall over if the slightest breeze were to come by. "You should get some sleep Lil', please don't make me hit you again." Brick said. Lilith nodded, she yawned and sat up with her arms stretched out. Lilith stumbled to her room and Brick watched until he was one hundred percent sure that she was sleeping. He quietly tip-toed behind her as she closed her door. Brick put his ear against the door and listened carefully. He heard something bang against the wall, but he figured she threw her boots in the corner. He listen more and he heard the shriek of the springs in her bed. He stepped away from her room and made what thought was a bird noise to signal someone. Mordecai came rushing in with a six pack of Rakk Ale and popcorn and grabbed a seat in front of the table in the middle of the room. Mordecai sniffed the freshly made popcorn. The hot butter's sweet scent pinched his nose. Mordecai reached for something for his back pocket and pulled out a portable device and linked it to the table and a hologram appeared from the table. Brick turned out the lights leaving the right hologram to illuminate the room. Brick quickly sat down beside him and Mordecai handed him a beer. As they're were getting comfortable, a voice came out of the speakers saying, 'Opportunity Productions presents, The Tales from Jacobs Cove!'.

"Man, I hated that place! Fucking zombies creep me out, bro." Mordecai said as he stuffed his face with popcorn.

"I hear you, that place gave a couple of these scars." Brick said as he showed Mordecai his right arm with a bunch of bites arm.

"Yeah, that sucked man, literally. This old lady zombie had no teeth and she tried to bite me. It was hilarious." Mordecai took a drink of his beer. They both liked this show and they loved to watch it, but the problem was that they don't get opportunity frequency's, so they needed to bootleg it or occasionally hack the channel to run in there room. They liked to do this every time they Lilith went to sleep, they watched the show. They both knew Lilith was a heavy sleeper since they've all been friends for years. The watched their show laughing as gory, graphic images of zombies ripping people apart.

Meanwhile, The Vault Hunters were in Moxxi's bar trying to keep themselves occupied.

"So do you guys want to get hammered?" Axton asked, but the others looked at each other exchanging looks.

"What?" Axton asked nervously.

"Look, we're not drinking with you anymore. We're still recovering from last night. Have you noticed that we're drinking water. I can't say the same for Salvador, but we did talk about you and you're alcoholism." Maya stated.

"Maya and I aren't exactly heavy drinkers and Salvador likes to drink, but not as much as you do." Gaige said.

"Like you're one to talk, you were naked and dancing on the table last night." Axton laughed as he took a sip of his drink.

"That was you." Gaige said with a withering look.

"Oh, but he drinks more than me." Axton took a drink of his beer and looked at Salvador, but Salvador shook his head.

"I don't go complete fucking ape shit like you do buddy." Salvador explained.

"Fine, I'll just drink alone." Axton got and left to sit at the front with some others.

"I don't know about you two, but I'm going to work on Deathtrap. I'll see you later, Maya." Gaige got up and left.

"I'm going to go kill something." Salvador finished his water and left as well, leaving Maya in the dust. She looked at her water and thought of something else to do. She knew everyone and thought they were all nice, but the only one she would like to hang out with would be Gaige, but she likes to work on Deathtrap constantly. Axton is more likely to hit on her or try something and she didn't want any of that. Salvador is weird, Zero is a boring ninja, and Krieg would possibly kill her. But she remembered what they both did together. She thought of the time they were to scout a Hyperion base and they sent Krieg with her to make sure she was safe. She was warming up to him before Roland died, and she was strongly charmed by him when they first met. She had forgotten about him with killing Jack, Oasis, and a lot of other things. She liked him enough to hangout with, but he was crazy and unpredictable. She thought she would give him another chance, she had recently read a book about the ancient arts or sirens and a lot of other forgotten things from then. Maya got up and left the bar.

Krieg was in his usual spot, on top of the Crimson Raider's HQ. He enjoyed the spot, because it was secluded from the others in Sanctuary. He was watching the sun set and playing with his buzz-axe.

"You're going to burn your eyes out you dumb-ass." Krieg's inner voice said to himself.

"I'LL SQUEEZE THE SWEET JUICES FROM MY OWN RIPS!" Krieg shouted.

Krieg's inner voice stopped and sighed. He was tired of Krieg torturing himself and everyone just watched like he was some animal in a zoo, but unfortunately Krieg was an animal. He hated the way people looked at him. It's been years since the incident with the both of them. He also thought of driving him completely insane to point where Krieg while ultimately kill himself so he won't be the laughed at or feared anymore. This is why Krieg stays away from everyone in the town and likes the silence around him so he can focus on all crazy shit inside his head. Krieg was alone as much as he was crazy, but he didn't acknowledge any of it because he has no brain to digest anything going on around him other than killing what's in front of him. His inner voice was really just his Brain. He is Krieg's former self and just a sad reminder. Krieg gets the body and his sanity gets the brain. Krieg is a psychotic, bloodthirsty idiot, and that isn't a good combination. He is so disconnected from Krieg that he doesn't even know his name. All he knew is that he used to be Krieg, but he was separated from his body and watches all of the horror that Krieg causes. He knew what Krieg really was. He was just a child.

Maya climbed up onto to the roof where Krieg was sitting. She was nervous and felt very uneven. She hasn't talked to him for months and this would just be awkward, but Maya realized that Krieg wasn't exactly all there and that he probably didn't even knew or remembered who she was. Maya felt bad at how much she didn't remember anything about him. She was quickly trying to remember why she was up there. Maya, this is happening. You need to talk to him. Maya said to herself.

"Krieg, it's the girl." His inner voice told him.

Krieg didn't understand much of what his inner voice told him, but he knew who she was. She was the pretty lady that saved his life.

"Hey, how's it going?" Maya asked nervously

Krieg just smiled under his mask and muttered something she didn't understand.

"I'm sorry I haven't talked to you in a long time, but I'm here now." Maya said.

"She's saying sorry Krieg." He said to himself.

"MY RIPS FEEL THE SWEET HATRED." Krieg shouted.

"That's not how you say thank you, goddamn it." His inner voice angrily said to himself.

"Uh, okay. You're welcome." Maya smiled. Maya assumed that he was thankful. She wishes she can understand him.

"Krieg, I'm going to try something." Maya was raising her hand towards Krieg's forehead, but Krieg stopped her. He grabbed her hand and she felt his grip.

"Don't hurt her." His voice said to himself. But Krieg wasn't trying anything, but he was scared. She didn't know what she was doing and hasn't had any experience with any other woman than her. And she only talked to him or made eye contact with.

"Calm down, I won't hurt you. Hey, it's me I'm not doing anything." Maya smiled and remembered all the crazy adventures they had. She thought of him as friend, but now more of a confused little brother. She thought of the time they killed Vermivorous while the others were dealing with Blue. She liked him for his little quotes and crazy outbursts.

"Listen to her, even if you can't understand anything we're saying, she is trying to be nice. It's the same girl we met at the train station." He tried to talk some sense into this child, but he was convinced that he would leave her and go to sleep. But he didn't.

Krieg let go of her hand and calmed down. Maya put her hand over Krieg's forehead and blue aurora developed around her hand.

"Hello?" Maya spoke blankly into his mind.

"How are you doing this?" Krieg's inner voice said.

"Who are you? Is this Krieg?" Maya asked.

"I don't know, but I'm not Krieg. It's a long story that I don't feel like explaining. I forgot you were a siren, you been gone for a long time, even if your room is next to ours, but I don't need an apology. I understand." He said.

"Okay, but I'm back. And you don't need to worry about me leaving. I forgot what you were like." Maya Said.

"I'm not Krieg, and he doesn't understand you or me that well so you should just talk to me whenever.'" Krieg's inner voice said to Maya.

"Alright then, but what can I call you?" Maya asked.

"I don't know, he calls me a load of different things. He often refers to me has 'The Voices', but I suppose you can call me Brain." Brain explained.

"Okay, but how are you so disconnected with him? I thought he was just lost his mind at one point and had voices telling him what to do." Maya asked.

"Krieg's mind wasn't his to lose or it wasn't even his in the first place. He's tired so I'll explain tomorrow." Brain told Maya.

"QUIET THE VOICES! MAKE THEM STOP OR I'LL ON YOUR SOUL!" Krieg was getting annoyed by the voices in his head, so he jumped up and climbed down off of the roof and began to run to his quarters inside the Crimson Raiders HQ. Maya was startled by his outburst, but Brain calmed her down, "Don't worry about him, just come see him tomorrow."

"Sure." Maya replied.

She watched as Krieg ran inside. She was confused with what happened and wondered if that actually happened. She was glad to talk him again, but she felt concerned for Krieg and the voice in his head. Maya knew that is was good to go back to him, but felt unwelcome or uncomfortable around him. Maya just shrugged the feeling off and told herself that she need sleep. She sat up and started slowly climbing down from Krieg's nest.

Meanwhile...

Dear, Director. I'm happy to accept the offer to take over the position of Jack and delighted you consulted me with the offer first. I can guarantee that I won't send this companies funds into the ground like Jack did. And the threats of Pandora won't a problem, because I'll take them out all out once. Pandora will be nothing but a rock with our people and our rules. I will succeed in my mission to bring success to this company and have this small issue out of the way as soon as possible. You have made a wise choice in putting me in charge, sir. I will not let you down.

Sincerely - Mr. Blake

Blake finished his letter and set his pen aside. He looked around his new office and smiled. He looked back at his letter and gasped. He picked his pen up to finish his letter.

"Smiley face..." Blake put his letter in the envelope and called his assistant.

"Felicia, darling, I've a letter I want to you send to the Director." Mr. Blake yelled form across the room.

"Yes, sir." She sat up and walked over to his desk and retrieved the letter from him.

She walked out of the office to bring it to the mail room. Mr. Blake smiled and sat up from his seat and stalked over to his window view of Pandora. He watched it as it slowly spun. He chuckled lightly.

"Time to make some changes."

Author's Note: I'm back I hoped you enjoyed as much as I did writing it. It may be a little short, but I needed this out there.
