Here's Thames!

Thames is a tall, lean, muscular man. His hair is black and cut real low. He wears orange colored trousers, brown steel-toed boots and a brown strap over his left shoulder. Just like how Skags have spikes on the back of their neck, Thames does too. Starting from the back of his head, going to his mid back. He wields a wooden spear twisted at the tip to a sharp point. It is only a few inches shorter than Thames.

Thames and his whole crew of marauders and Skags strut into the city with authority. Axton stared him down from across the street. Gaige and Naomi had just walked out of the medical building to witness this.

"Oh my bloody lord! It's Thames!" Naomi exclaimed under her breath. With a fierce look, Gaige locked eyes with Thames.

"Me and Clap are going to whoop this pup." Gaige said confidently. She began to walk off, and then Naomi said.

"Make sure you turn him into a bloody, gushy mess."

The wanted man Thames saw the two brave souls walking to him. He smirked, happy to be getting so much attention.

"My oh my what an absolutely wonderful welcoming committee. I feel like the man of the hour, like it's my bachelor party! Why not make it one right guys?" All the men behind him yelled "RIGHT!" in unison.

"Great, great. I'm liking the excitement already. It feels like a bomb has already went off and everyone is dead all ready! SO MUCH EXCITEMENT! TOO MUCH! Excitement is crap, garbage, filth, rubble, slop, waste, the remains of an entire planet full of claptrap units that died because there was too much shit being said. ITS TERRIBLE! We don't need excitement here do we guys?" Thames looked back at his crew to see them all raise their fists in the air to an resounding, "RIGHT!"

"What we need is-" Thames was cut off by a shot to the face. He didn't flinch or bulge an inch. Only looked at the perpetrator who did it.

Axton, with his smoking gun and smug smile, looked at the rambling bandit and said," If you're gonna try to kill me do it with your gun, not your words." Gaige walked up to the side of the commando and agreed with him.

"Yea! You need to shut up, and I got just the bot to do it." She began to flex her wrists but was stopped by Axton when he grabbed her arm.

"Leave this to me. I can handle it." Axton said with a bit of annoyance in his voice.

"I'm not leaving this bully to you, everybody needs a chance to beat him for what he's done." Gaige retorted back.

"You can do it after I'm done!"

"I can do it right now!"

"Can I settle this dispute?" Thames suddenly appeared in front of the two. Axton stepped back fast but Gaige was too slow to react. Thames grabs her by the throat and lifts her up from the ground.

"Damn it." Axton says while he gets his pistol trained on Thames. He aims for his head but that quickly changes when Thames turns. He keeps Gaige as a shield for himself, moving her whenever Axton adjusts his aim.

"Well this is a wonderful way to end your dispute." Thames says." Shoot her and BAM! instant fix." A grimace appeared on Axton's face. He couldn't find any openings to shoot Thames. Although he did see Gaige raise her robotic hand.

"Say sayonara you damn bully!" She exclaimed. Deathtrap appeared right in front of her and then clawed at Thames arm that held Gaige. The force made him drop her to her feet, but his grip didn't loosen. It only made him more pissed and resulted in his grip tightening.

"That little toy of yours hurt my feelings. Now I'm gonna hurt yours!" Thames yelled. Then he tossed Gaige to his men behind him. "Hold her down men."

"This is my chance." Axton thought. He tossed out his sabre turret in front of him, then both of them both start to shoot at Thames.

Their bullets just bounced off of him like bouncy balls. Making tiny static noises as they did.

"How many bullets does it take to get rid of that shield. It's like he's-" Axton was cut off by a sudden yell from the mayor," Above you!"

Instincts kicked in and Axton took heed of the mayor's warning. He looked above him to the right and saw two Skags diving towards him from a nearby rooftop.

If he hadn't been told earlier, he would have taken a bite to the jugular. Luckily since he did, he was able to pull out his axe from his pack and cut one skag straight through its mouth. He kneeled down and avoided the other.

The Skag landed behind Axton and immediately made a second attempt to take his life. It sprung forward as Axton turned around to meet it. He didn't even have to lift a finger to kill it, because his turret shot it down for him.

"Thanks girl! "Axton said absolutely delighted, but that feeling was cut short by an ear-splitting scream from Gaige.

"DEATHTRAP!"

What everyone saw was That Thames had impaled Deathtrap straight through its chest. He held it up high with his spear, bouncing the robot up and down in order to rub the salt in its owner's wound.

"It's robot killing fun time!" Thames yelled.

"Stop it you monster! You horrible monster!" Gaige cried out. She tried to struggle out of the bandits' grasp of her, but it was no use. They forced her to the ground and made her WATCH her creation's destruction. Seeing Thames tear Deathtrap to pieces forced the tears to stream down Gaige's face.

"That's enough out of you." Axton says, with a lot of anger in his tone. He pulls out a grenade, pulls the pin, and chucks it at Thames.

"How did you know baseball is my favorite sport?" Thames says. He chucks the scraps of Deathtrap away and then holds his spear with both hands, bends his knees, and then hits that grenade far away to a building. It explodes and causes part of the building to collapse.

"The ball exploded. Guess I'll have to take my base. But you're in the way." Thames says.

"Damn it." Axton takes out his red Vladof assault rifle and starts blasting Thames alongside his sabre turret. Just like before, they have little effect on him.

Thames slowly walks over to Axton, with a sick smile on his face the whole time. Seeing what happened to Deathtrap, Axton recalls his turret so it doesn't meet the same face.

"If bullets won't work than how about some axe action!" Just as Axton says that, he whips out his axe and charges at Thames with a swing. Thames blocks with his spear and then Axton goes on a furious assault with his weapon. Slicing every which way to try to break through. But Thames just stays on the defense and blocks everyone of his attacks.

Since he knows he's not getting through, Axton decides to take out a pistol to shoot him at close range while still hacking away with his axe. The bullets are the only thing getting through, but it was so insignificant that it barely mattered.

"Your blows are like a baby trying to beat up his father. Like cold chicken going up against flame in a heat contest. It's just soooo miserable. Are you gonna cry you big baby?" Thames says.

"Nope I got something special for you." Axton says. He then switches out his pistol for another weapon." Try to hit this out of the park."

BOOM! A dust cloud forms and Axton gets blown away, landing on his back several feet away.. Luckily for him, his shield took all the damage for him, but now it's down. He peeks his head up in order to see the damage he's done.

When the dust cloud settles, what meet his eyes is Thames standing there perfectly fine.

"Damn it how?!" Axton says.

"Sorry you miserable excuse for a soldier. EXPLOSION reduction." Thames walks over to Axton as he gets up. Axton pulls out his Vladof assault rifle again, hoping that it could do something. He begins to shoot but his weapon is immediately slapped out of his hand by Thame's spear.

Thames thrust the flat end of his spear into Axton's gut. Making him fall back on his back again, and knocking the wind out of him.

Axton tries to get up for the third time, but Thames keeps him down with his spear on Axton's stomach. Thames observes Axton's body for a good second. Once he found what he was looking for, he bent down to grab it.

"Let me see that wonderful piece of men's jewelry." What he grab for was Axton's wedding band. The band that belonged to Sarah. He struggled furiously, grimacing and grabbing Thames meaty arm with both hands.

"Struggle all you want you misery filled sack of failure, but this will be MINE." On his last word, Thames put all his weight on his spear. The pain made Axton's eyes bulge out and he struggled for breath. That's when Thames was able to take the wedding band off of him.

"Thank you kindly for giving this to me. Even though you struggled. Don't worry, you'll get better at giving up, you just need my help." On that, Thames struck Axton in the gut with three hard blows. Insuring he won't get up.

Thames looked forward to see the Mayor and Naomi's terrified faces. It made him giggle. He starts to walk over to them slowly.

The mayor got in front of Naomi and spread his arms out. "Stop there you ra-"

"Shut up midget!" On saying Thames slams his foot on the mayor's head, keeping him on the ground.

Naomi was too terrified to move. To see everyone beaten by him so easily how could she expect to stand a chance. The way he eyed her, made her insides feel like it was being crushed. Her whole body felt 100 pounds heavier. Her lungs felt to small to breathe in any air. She stared at Thames with her bulging fearful eyes.

He got down on one knee, pulls out Axton's wedding band and says, "Will you marry me?"

A/N- Thanks for all the favorites and follows guy. Really motivates me to write more when I see them.

I also want to thank dablackwyrm and another guest for their reviews. I really don't pay much attention to the game's music, mostly because I'm too busy going crazy with Krieg to notice :P. When I was writing the hiding citizens part, I thought it would be blasphemy to not put a metal gear reference in that. Thames will never be able to find the sneak king. Well, the REAL Sneak King.

Anyway, thanks for reading, hoped you enjoyed. Have a wonderful morning/day/night.
