Chapter 11: Not Enough Wanted-ness
Mission(s): Everybody Wants to be Wanted * Side Mission (NC)
DLC: Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage
Feeling a bit lonelier than usual Maya decides to head on over to Moxxi's bar to get something to drink. After arriving Maya pays for two bottles of whiskey and goes to a table sitting down setting both whiskies in front of her.
On a hunch Zero decides to head on over to Moxxi's bar to see if he can find Maya. Low and behold there she sits all alone at a table with two still full bottles. Zero walks over and sits down across from Maya. A red question mark appears hovering over Zero's visor and Maya sighs.
Getting up from the table Maya takes both bottles back to Moxxi and says, "Hey Moxxi can you hold these for me an' Zero? Just until we're about done with the tournament." After Moxxi takes the two bottles and hides them away in agreement, Maya requests a mission from her.
The Mad Moxxi speaks, "It's time for the other gladiators to get scared, sugar. Scared of you. I stole some of the wanted posters printed about you Vault Hunters. Plaster them around the Arena so the other gladiators know exactly what you're capable of."
After accepting the mission from Moxxi both Maya and Zero decide to do it together – mainly for mutual support when they have to place a poster besides their own. They head to the fast travel station located within the Badass Crater Bar and Zero transports him and Maya to the Southern Raceway.
After digistructing Maya and Zero jog across the road and diagonally to the right arriving at a catch-a-ride station. Zero summons their Blue Light Runner and Maya hops in the driver seat while Zero takes the gunner's position. Maya drives forward and turns right coming to the same intersection Zero had encountered earlier that day. Deciding to go right Maya spins the wheel and they pass through a gate like arch constructed out of metal.
After driving a short distance Maya parks the Light Runner and jumps out. Zero moves ahead and Maya watching their six follows behind him. The two Vault Hunters move through a gate blocking the path of a vehicle and pass under another arch metal pipe structure set high above – to the right it connects to a metal silo with a giant Torgue banner hung down its side to the left it connects to the ground by curving at 90 degrees and descending into the earth. On the horizontal top part of the metal arch constructed out of pipes and metal are 4 smaller pipes jutting vertically and spewing flame.
Maya and Zero come to a wide-open area with a metal structure vaguely resembling a building turned inside out with small metal huts to contain people and metal sheets and railings for walkways. After revealing themselves by tossing a singularity grenade which pulls and explodes several bikers after pulling them off a main walkway connecting the main metal structure with a smaller one off to the right of the main one.
Next Zero uses his sniper and Maya switches to her Jakobs shotgun, Zero takes out a lot of the smaller and annoying biker enemies with headshots while simultaneously providing enough cover fire for Maya allowing her to rush in and using her powers with her shotgun, eliminate the much bigger enemies.
After taking out the enemies on ground floor Zero and Maya rush to the main metal structure to wipe out the rest – and to place the poster. Not all the bandits come out however, and only 20 are stupid enough to get in the way of Maya and her shotgun. After clearing out most of the bandits that came out of hiding Maya finds the place to place the poster. From top to bottom: Wanted, Maya's mug shot, MAYA, Siren, $720,000,000,000.
Moxxi comments on Maya's poster making the siren redden slightly, "Can you say "ladybonner"?"
Maya and Zero backtrack to the intersection and Zero leads Maya into the area of the ECHOnet reviewers. Since Zero had already cleaned out the place it's a simply run up the left most set of stairs nearest the entrance and place Axton's poster on the marked spot of wall.
From top to bottom: WANTED, Axton's mug shot, AXTON, War Crimes, $5,000,000,000.
After a near inhuman barley suppressed scream of grief from Maya, Moxxi comments on Axton's poster, "I'm not usually one for military men, but I gotta say 'rowr'." Maya turns away and whispers, "He's too damn beautiful to become human bacon."
After placing Axton's poster Maya and Zero head out of the ECHOnet reviewers abode, hop back in the Blue Light Runner and Maya drives off. Turning right as she comes to the racing road Maya drives forward until Zero tells her to turn right and head into the are where he says he, "Fought a monster truck / I pulverized it to dust / and it now lies dead."
Maya after burns off a ramp and lands in the middle of biker territory. Then Zero uses mad skills with the turret to spike the engines of many of the bikes causing their drivers to run into another bike thereby eliminating two bikes with one explosion. After about 10 minutes of eliminating 20 or so bikes the area around them is rendered deathly still and quite.
Maya drives to the bunker / garage in the middle of the are and getting out of the Blue Light Runner places Salvador's long poster on the outside wall of the structure. From top to bottom: Wanted, Salvador's picture, SALVADOR, Manslaughter, Theft, Arson, Destruction of Property, Trespassing, Cannibalism, Public Indecency, Profanity, $99,000,000,000.99.
Moxxi then comments on Salvador's poster, while the two Vault Hunter's just stare in silence at the face of their now lost friend, "Ah, the gunzerker. Frightening, yet … hairy."
