Darkness and Light, Into the Chaos!

Michel was ignoring Claptrap for the most part. Seriously, the thing could prattle on forever. Instead he was looking over Sinon. The poor rifle was in need of repairs, but he had no supplies to fix his custom gun, any of them really. He had lost Belladonna in the snow and had no illusions about finding the SMG. His pistol, Volcario was still securely strapped to his leg but the mechanism that lit the bullets on fire was completely fried. He would need some Hyperion weaponry later to fix that, but he had access to none.

Turning his attention to his attention from his precious weapons to Claptrap, who seemed to be yelling at Jack for discontinuing his product line, the enigma began to notice this particular robot looked rather familiar. Wait, was this thing That CL4P-TP? He would have to look over the robot's wiring later. "And now that there are no more CL4P-TP units being built, I have to scavenge for parts from all the busted units you dump here where I have to do everything I can to keep the bullymogs out!"

As if his words had conjured the beast, a giant bullymog, Knuckle Dragger if Michel remembered right, came through the roof and stole the annoying robot's eye before disappearing into the snow. The six Vault Hunters, earlier scavenging for Health Now! vials looked over toward the commotion. "Guns in the locker, right?" Maya asked, looking over to the cabinet.

"Th-that's right." a very injured Claptrap replied. The locker opened to reveal not only a pistol, but an SMG, assault rifle, and shotgun that were given to Axton, Salvador, Gaige, and Maya respectively. Zero drew his sword and Kreig his ax before they stacked up at the door. "Let me just get the door open, minions." the robot called, pressing a few buttons before the dorr opened. "Forward! And please let me know if I'm gonna run into anything." Claptrap requested. No one bothered to tell him about the block of ice which he assumed no one noticed. "Alright, let's get my eye back! If I know Knuckle Dragger, he took it to Frostbite Crevasse."

The Vault Hunters, Michel, and Jack followed close behind, the latter two hanging back. "Jack, does Claptrap look kinda familiar to you?" the blonde man asked his boss.

"Yeah, that's probably the CL4P-TP I redesigned, but I turned off all his Vault Hunter programing." Jack replied. "Why? Thinking of turning it back on?"

"Something like that." Michel replied, sighing as he readjusted his backpack and followed the rest.

...

"I am all that is Man!" Sal called, pulling a Dahl pistol and firing it along with his assault rifle. He began unloading on any bullymog near the group as Gaige and Michel were digging Claptrap out of the snow. Zer0 and Krieg swung their melee weapons as the moglets came closer.

"THERE'S NO FENCE ON THIS FENCE!" the psycho declared, cutting a Brat Bullymog with his ax. Another tried to sneak up on him, but was soon found in a phaselock from Maya before being decapitated.

"I love my powers!" Maya chuckled. "Hey big guy, think you can keep going?"

"NEVER STOP THE KILLING! NEVER!" Krieg replied, cutting another bullymog in half.

The group soon finished off the bullymogs and Claptrap was moving again. That was when everyone's ECHOs came to life. "Hello everyone, Jeffery Blake here, and I must say I'm disappointed by the results of my train attempts. If you could please off yourselves, I would very much appreciate it."

"You wanna say it or should I?" Jack asked. Receiving a shrug from Michel, Jack turned to his ECHO and replied, "Screw you Johnny! When the Vault Hunters and I get to Sanctuary, we're gonna be taking back my company! Then I think I'll call Wilhelm in to play with you. I promise you this, it's gonna be painful."

Michel smirked at his boss's declaration before his ECHO played static and displayed Angel's avatar. "Hey, so please tell me you're heading to Sanctuary with that funny robot." she said.

"Don't worry, Angel. The Vault Hunters, your dad, and I are going to get his eye back and head to Sanctuary right after. It would be fun if my guns weren't busted and Belladonna didn't vanish into the snow."

"Belladonna's missing? I'm sorry to hear that. I know how much it meant to you." the siren sighed. "I think there are some parts to fix Sinon and Volcario in the barge on the way to Liars Berg, but you'll have to be patient."

"Thanks Angel. I appreciate that." Michel admitted with a smile. Angel's avatar faded and the blonde moved up with the rest. "What's the score?" he asked.

"My eye just came back online!" Claptrap replied. "I see a hansom robot, seven tough looking minions, and a product-killing douche-bag." Only Jack didn't have to resist the urge to chuckle at the robot's description of him. "Which means that whoever has my eye..." the robot realized. Everyone with a functioning weapon drew it. "Is really close!"

A loud bellow filled the area as the giant bullymog with the robot's eye around it's neck appeared over the top of the supply crate.

Knuckle Dragger

This is gonna hurt

"Exterminate!" Gaige called, summoning Deathtrap. Sal pulled out his double guns and started firing. Axton threw out his turret while Kreig and Zero rushed the creature.

It was only a few seconds before Knuckle Dragger retreated and more bullymogs bellowed. "Oh god! They're coming out of the wall sphincters!" Claptrap gasped, running for cover. Michel was cursing his luck, not having a functioning weapon and being useless in the fight.

It wasn't too long for the fight to finish though. It was seven on one and Knuckle Dragger didn't really stand a chance. "Check the loot, I'll grab the eye." Jack called. The Vault Hunters started picking up the cash and inspecting the guns that had been dropped.

"Holy shit, this is the Twin Hornet!" Axton gasped, picking up the pistol. "Double bullet burst fire with corrosive rounds. Now this is a Dahl gun." he declared.

"Not a single Hyperion firearm!" Michel snarled, throwing the pistols every which way. "Dahl, Jackobs, even a freaking Atlas, but no Hyperion! I can't use this stuff!"

"Do you guys have my eye?" Claptrap asked, oblivious to Michel's discontent and Axton's happiness. "Great! Now we just need to find someone to put it in me. Much as I'm sure you guys would love to put your fists into my skull, this procedure is best left to the professionals! My buddy Hammerlock can fix me up no problem!"

"Umm.. or I could install it. You are a Hyperion robot after all." Jack informed.

"Oh no! You'll just shut me off and leave me here to rot! No way am I trusting you with this!" Claptrap snapped, wheeling away.

...

The door locked itself and Michel sighed. "Jack, shall we?" he asked.

"Let me get that for you." Angel's voice cut in. Her avatar appeared on the lock console and Michel smiled as he watched the "AI" work. "Executing Phase Shift." The door opened and the group stepped in. "Take whatever you need, it's a long road to Sanctuary." Michel whooped as he saw the parts he needed to get his weapons functional again while the rest of the Vault Hunters began searching the barge for better weaponry.

Michel was oblivious to the world as he set to work on Sinon.

And done! Seems Angel and Michel are in close contact, and the latter is about to fix his guns. Fun fact, during my new game with Sal, I actually got the Twin Hornet. Not ditching that anytime soon! Now, to avoid any confusion about his behavior, let me give you a small bit of the Enigma abilities.

Action Skill: Double Trouble- The Enigma pulls a second firearm from his selection and target critical points on hostiles. Basically it's a fusion of Sal's Gunzerking and Nisha's Showdown

Active secondary Skills: Tinkering- By dropping three Hyperion weapons, the Enigma has a 10% times skill level to combine them into a higher rairity gun. Current Skill level: 1

With that out of the way, leave a review of what you thought and I guess I'll see you in Liars Berg next time!
