Chapter 7
Marik's POV
My eyes went wide as he said it "you… want me to leave" he sighed and nodded "Roland where the hell am I supposed to go" he shrugged his shoulders and I grit my teeth "I offer my help… AND THIS IS THE THANKS I GET" "Marik calm down" Maya said but I ignored her "THIS IS ALL I HAVE MY MOTHER'S DEAD ALONG WITH MY FATHER THIS NEW ONE SEES ME AS AN EXPERIMENT AND NOW YOU'RE TELLING ME TO LEAVE BECAUSE OF MY PAST" "it's not like that" "SHUT UP YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME YOU'VE NEVER BEEN EXPERIMENTED ON TO HAVE NEEDLES PUT IN YOU TO HAVE TO KILL INNOCENTS TO HAVE TO WATCH YOUR MOTHER GET HER BRAINS BLOWN OUT RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU SO WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S NOT LIKE THAT HUUHH" I glared at him and he turned away "I've made up my mind I want you gone in half an hour".
"Marik" I turned away from Gaige and went to my room and grabbed my things before leaving the headquarters and walked to the exit, Krieg stood in front of me and I tried to move past him but he stopped me "this world's no place for lonely butchers" I looked at him before down "Krieg I…" I dropped to my knees and removed my mask and wiped the tears off my face "they're taking all I have Krieg this was the first actual Family I ever had" he grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder before walking out "Krieg what're you doing" he set me down and sat next to me.
"The butchers all cut meat even when they're separate HOWEVER they all come together when one piece of meat is simply too big for one and all help cut it up BEFORE RIDING ON THE POOP TRAIN WITH ME AS THE CONDUCTOR" I stared at him and nodded "even the little doggy" I smiled "it's weird when what you say makes sense… thanks Krieg I'll go ahead and say goodbye to the others".
"It is unfortunate that you're leaving/ based off your past/ a hand dealt unfairly" I nodded and held out my hand and he shook it "the reason I speak in haiku is because I once was on a mission one where I could have died however I killed my target who wrote haikus and in memoriam of her I speak in haikus" "did you love her or something" he shook his head "she provided a challenge/ a very hard one/ a truly worthy opponent", I smiled and nodded "be careful Marik/ if you need help/ call us and we'll come".
"Hey Salvador I came to say goodbye" he handed me a torque shotgun "be safe mi hermano" "you too Salvador I guess I'll see you later oh and if you ever feel like shooting stuff up let me know" he laughed "of course I will".
"Hey Axton" he turned to look at me and I scratched my head "I heard what happened" "yeah um well I enjoyed being here and also um" he placed a hand on my shoulder "whatever you do just make sure it's badass" I laughed and smiled "you know you were kind of like a Brother invading my privacy, annoying me" "making you a echo-net star" we laughed again "yeah and I made you one too" we laughed and I sighed "hey can I ask you something" "sure" I pulled out a folder and handed it to him "I'd like you to have this" he opened it and looked back at me "it's my personal folder along with the tapes of my 'childhood' seeing how we couldn't get to know each other all that well you know also… I figured why not leave this with you guys until I get back you know" he smirked and gave me a nod.
"Hey Maya" she turned around and smiled at me "Marik I thought you were gone already" we hugged and I shook my head "I have about… fifteen minutes left I just came to say goodbye" she frowned and I looked down "listen Marik" I looked up and smiled "it's ok Maya I have Cerberus and I know you guys can help me out when I need it" she stared at me and smiled "alright Marik be safe alright" I nodded.
"Gaige… Gaige open the door" she opened the door but she was crying, I stepped inside and closed the door before hugging her "this isn't fair" she said and I kissed her before wiping a few tears and she looked at me and I smiled at her "I'll be ok Gaige besides I'll let you know where I am" "promise me you won't die" I laughed and she smiled "Gaige I'm practically immortal" she punched my arm "ow Gaige what the hell" "yeah you sure are immortal" "well it wouldn't have hurt if you used your actual arm" she laughed and I crossed my arms before checking the time and frowned "well my time's up see you later Gaige" we kissed one last time "also once I find a place you guys can come over and help me break it in you know" "sure".
I put my mask on and looked down at Cerberus and gave him a nod "alright let's go" I waved goodbye before we left and I spawned a runner technical and we got in "hey Cerberus" "yes Marik" can you bring up any bounties on people "very well" I stopped the runner and looked at the bounties and one was in the tundra express "he seems pretty expensive let's do it".
