Author's Note: you don't need to know anything about the last story, it was more of a prologue to what I was getting to, but I didn't like it and a lot others said that the story was there, but it was poorly edited and I didn't feel like continuing it or fixing because it was technically the game in word form.


Maya climbed down from the roof carefully, she wasn't a fan of heights. As she was gingerly climbing down, she was thinking of something they can do tomorrow with Krieg. She remembered Krieg didn't like people unless they were on the other end of his gun. She thought they could go to Terramorphous Peak to catch up a with each other. Maya didn't like that she shut him out and completely forgot about him. But she figured that they all had revenge on their minds that night of Roland's death, she thought that Krieg was angry about his death too. She told herself that to make her feel better because she remembered that he went on killing spree, even if Roland didn't die, Krieg still would've done so. Maya was relieved to be on the ground at last. She dusted off any dirt scuffs on herself and walked to her apartment.


"What a bitch, she thinks she can come back to us thinking we would accept her apology." Brain told Krieg.

"I like the feelings she gives me." Krieg said calmly but sharply.

Krieg sat on the Crimson Raiders lounge couch and set his axe beside him and laid back. Krieg doesn't sleep much and the longest time he slept was three hours without nightmares. Krieg usually stayed up until he had no choice but fall over asleep. Brick walked into the lounge and leaned against the door frame. Krieg stared at him with confusion, but Brick stared back. Brick cleared his throat to say something.

"So, Slab. We've all been wondering if you're going to get your own place, because you've been sleeping here since you joined the Crimson Raiders. And that's even if you are actually sleeping, I found you in my room looking at my pictures of Dusty. I know she was a cute puppy but those photos are private, Craig." Brick said as Krieg just stared back at him with Brain speaking to him, "That jackass doesn't know your name. This just goes to show that you need to talk more and learn to introduce yourself more."

"I'll remove your ribs with my fingers." Krieg said out loud in response to Brain's comment. Brick's eyes flashed with fear and he immediately walked up to Krieg and handed him the key to Krieg's new apartment that he paid for him.

"He thinks you're talking to him you idiot. Take the fucking key!" Brian yelled inside Krieg's head. Krieg closed his eye tightly and shook his head. He stood up and took the key from Brick.

"Room thirty-six on the third floor at Claptrap's Place, and you don't need to pay me back, Claptrap needed business even though Sanctuary is becoming overpopulated, but they decided to live on the street rather than Claptrap's." Brick explained as he slowly backed away. Krieg looked at the key in his palm and brushed his thumb against the worn brass '36' engraved into the key. Brick stared at him with frightened eyes, even though Brick was larger than Krieg, Krieg is a lot scarier than Brick. Krieg reached in his pocket and pulled out twelve crumbled thousand dollar bills and handed them to Brick. He looked at the money in Krieg's hand and thought that he was crazy to carry that much money in his pockets, but then he remembered that Krieg was in fact completely insane. Brick accepted Krieg's money and left the room to return to Mordecai in the command room. Krieg stuffed his new apartment key in his pocket and grabbed his axe lying beside the couch and left.

Brick and Mordecai watched Krieg from behind the wall until he left the building. They calmly sat down and picked up a beer. They both feared Krieg heavily as good as a soldier he is, but to Brick, Krieg is just another psycho in his Slab army, just a lot more crazy than all of them combined and tripled. They continued to watch their favorite TV show.

"That man terrifies me." Brick sipped on his drink.

"You're not the only one, amigo." Mordecai gulped his drink down so he can forget about the entire thing.


Krieg was walking out of his old home where he lived for seven months. Krieg was pretty upset, but he couldn't fully digest the emotions of abandoning his home to live somewhere else away from others.

"You should be happy. You're going to live alone away from people." Brain said.

Krieg stared at his axe and raised it to strike himself, but he stopped when he seen Maya walking into the Claptrap's as well. He watched as she opened the door and walked inside. Krieg stalked up to the door and listened to Claptrap greeting her. Their voices were muffled but loud enough to make out what they're saying. "Minion!" Claptrap said with excitement.

"Oh shit." Maya sighed.

"How are you doing today?" Claptrap asked delightfully.

"Same as yesterday, Claptrap." Maya responded lazily.

"Okay, I was going to ask if..." Maya interrupted Claptrap.

"I don't care right now, I'm going to sleep."

Maya walked left the lobby, leaving Claptrap and the eavesdropping Krieg. Claptrap watched as Maya walked up the staircase. "Fuck my life." Claptrap sighed.

Krieg opened the door and walked in. Claptrap was startled by Krieg and stared at him in fear. Krieg stared back at Claptrap, but Krieg didn't want to stay longer than he needed to and left Claptrap to avoid his annoying voice and quickly walked away.

"I wish I had friends." Claptrap sobbed.

Krieg walked up the stairs as quietly as he could. He had gotten to the third floor. He was insane, but he wasn't completely stupid, he understood most of what people said, just as long as they used simple words. Krieg looked around in the hallway to see if anyone was there. He seen no one and took this opportunity to get to his new room. As Krieg started to quietly dash to his room, he turned around the corner and ran into Maya unintentionally. Krieg tried to stop, but he slipped on the carpet and was sent flying into Maya. Maya shrieked as Krieg trampled her. Krieg and Maya were both sent into to the hardwood floor. Maya groaned in pain as Krieg helped her up. As Krieg was helping Maya, the other vault hunters poured into the hallway. They all had their weapons with them.

"What happened?" Axton came out with only his boxers.

"Nothing, I just ran into Krieg." Maya groaned as she held the side of head.

"Okay, but makes sure you put a sock on the door." Axton said as he shut the door behind him.

"What? No, nothing's going on." Maya explained.

"Don't worry, as long as you two don't make any noise." Gaige teased. Maya rolled her eyes, but also made her blush at bit. Zero sighed and left beck to his room, and Salvador looked at Gaige and opened his mouth to say something, "Like you're talk, I can't sleep with you and your stupid electric noises!"

"I don't hear Axton or Zero complaining, plus I burn myself a lot." Gaige frowned.

"My room is right beside yours, I hear everything you do in there, VaultHunter39542." Salvador said raising his voice.

"You leave my Echo-ID out of this." Gaige shouted.

"Shut the hell up, both of you go to bed." Maya said.

Gaige and Salvador looked at Maya, she was giving them a withering. Krieg slowly helped Maya up to her feet. Gaige and Salvador looked at each other and slowly backed into their rooms and apologized simultaneously, "Sorry.", and the both of them left Krieg and Maya in the hallway. Maya groaned and lifted her hand off of her forehead. Maya looked at Krieg and saw that he was worried that he really hurt her. Maya gave Krieg a smile and lightly snickered. Krieg grinned under his mask. "So, I suppose you couldn't wait to see me?" Maya said with a coy smile of curiosity. Brain watched as Krieg was making googly with Maya.

"You make me sick, you are completely whipped by this girl." Brain chastised and sighed to himself.

"I can hear you, jackass." Maya said to Brain.

"I want the voices to stop. Shoot me now, pretty lady..." Krieg held Maya closer and sharply whispered, "Make. Them. Stop.". Maya smiled and giggled at Krieg's comment.

"Krieg, I'm going to bed now." Maya said.

"Your absence will be sadden me deeply." Krieg frowned.

"Don't worry, you live beside me. I'll be right here in this room, thirty-five." Maya hugged Krieg. Maya opened her door and left Krieg behind in the hallway and closed the door behind her. Krieg sadly stalked towards his room door and fumbled to get the key from his pocket. He eventually got his door open after Brain was explained to Krieg what do. He opened the door and walked into his new apartment. He glanced around the apartment. It wasn't small or big, but it was cozy and Krieg was warming up to it. He walked over to his new couch. It was a large comfy yellow couch with stains. Krieg was worried about catching anything so he turned over the cushions. Luckily it was fine on the other side so Krieg sat down. He liked his new place so far, but he felt this sharp tingle in his pants. He squeezed his crouch tightly and shot up and ran to the bathroom. He ran inside and looked around for the toilet. He found the tiny thing hiding between the sink and shower. He unzipped his fly and let his warm urine run into the toilet. The sensation of his relief sent tingles up his spine and made him twitch. He sighed happily and watched the long yellow stream of urine into the toilet. He finished and shook the rest into the toilet. Krieg zipped up his fly and walked over to the sink when he seen his reflection in the mirror.

Krieg looked into the mirror and seen a monster. It didn't take long for him to notice that it was him. He reached to touch his mask, but he seen the graphic images of him killing people without faces, because he was wearing their faces. The mirror turned red as Krieg slipped on the severed head of sanctuary local. He crawled into the corner and held his legs in a fetal position. Krieg looked around as everyone he seen in sanctuary's head rolled out of the walls. Krieg shrieked as he heard Brain's voice speak to him, "You see what happens when you let a psychotic killer into your life." Krieg started hyperventilating as he seen the scariest monster that he thought he would never see entered the bathroom, Himself. He watched as Krieg stalked towards him with fear. Krieg was leaning over him with his buzz-axe. He was covered in deep a crimson that made a reflective surface on his chest and Krieg saw that he wasn't himself, but he was Maya scared out of her mind as she watches the only man she accepted as male friend and possibly something more. "I'M GOING TO GUT YOU, YOU FILTHY PIG!" Krieg screamed as he brought his axe down on Maya's neck severing her head followed her blood gushing out of her neck.

Krieg screamed as the brutal images stopped, he ran out of the bathroom and dived onto his couch and watched the bathroom. He heard the voices speaking to him and telling him to do one thing he could never bring himself to do. Krieg sobbed as the voices got louder, but there was one voice louder than the rest and that voice was the only one that cared for him. Brain tried calming him down by telling Krieg that nothing happened, "It's alright, it's over. You don't need to worry about anything. Focus on my voice." Brain tried his best to make him stop, but nothing was working. Brain was about to give up when he heard the last person he wanted to hear today.

"Krieg, are you alright." Maya's voice pierced the darkness like the moon in the night sky. Krieg stopped as he listened to Maya.

"I heard you screaming and I thought something was wrong." Maya's caring voice soothed Krieg back to what little sanity he had.

"He just had seen something. You wouldn't ever understand unless he told you himself and that is clearly never going to happen." Brain snapped.

"Oh, I'm sorry Brain. I'm sorry that I left you with him. I didn't know you back then, but I do now and I wanted to say I'm sorry." Maya spook softly.

"It's fine. Keep going with Krieg, its working." Brain said happily.

"Okay, Krieg. I'm here now and you don't need to be scared anymore." Maya said in low tone. Krieg took his mask off and wiped his tears away. He closed his eyes and laid back.

"Goodnight, Krieg." Maya smiled.

"Goodnight, pretty lady." Krieg said with a smile.

"Goodnight, Maya." Brain said.

Krieg fell asleep quickly. Maya on the other side of the wall closed her eyes and fell asleep too. Brain was left alone with nothing until he starts falling asleep as well and falling into Krieg's dreams. But before he was dozing off, he figured out something that could help them both. "Krieg, I think I know a way of getting you fixed." Brain said.
