A/N sorry for the long wait everyone. I got sick and was hospitalized for a few weeks. But now I'm back and better than ever! I should warn you, there's a major character death in this chapter... and maybe not one thst you'd expect...

Chapter 12: Fallen Angels

The vault hunters scavenged any good loot the Bnk3r had. It was quite a hefty booty indeed. However, their goal was yet to be obtained, they still had to get to angel; And so now, they stood at the foot of the last obstacle. Axton stepped forward and cleared his throat, awaiting angel to tell him the passcode.

"The password is..." The AI started. "I love you." Axton rolled these words in his head for a moment. Why would Jack make this his password, he wondered? He shrugged it off soon after.

"I love you." He spoke clearly in Jack's voice. The door made a noise and a hiss as it opened, revealing an elevator. The vault hunters took no time in entering it and descending down. On the way, Angel spoke to them.

"For years Jack has been charging the vault key." She said as they excited the elevator. "But it couldn't charge on iridium alone." The vault hunters then saw a button in the middle of the room. "It needed a catalyst. It needed a siren." They pushed the button. "It needed..."

INTRODUCTION ALERT

Angel: Lo and behold; not an AI.

"me..." Angel, in all her siren glory, hovered above the ground in front of the vault hunters, wings expanded like two glorious blue suns. "Jack's been using my siren powers to super charge the vault key. He's been using the iridium he's been mining and pumping it into me. But now thst you're here, you can stop Jack once and for all-" Her words were cut off by a pissed off Jack.

"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!" The vault hunters were suddenly pushed back as angel was pulled towards the center of the room and locked in a protective bubble. "Angel, what the hell are you doing?!" Angel ignored him.

"Vault hunters! Shoot the iridium tubes! Now!" Angel commanded. The vault hunters, not waisting time, went right to work on the tubes, but not before Jack could intervene.

"Ah, ah, ah! Shields up!" Suddenly, all 3 tubes were surrounded by impenetrable Shields. But just as suddenly, Roland burst into the room though the vents in the ceiling.

"Hold on!" The ex-lanceman said. "Keep the loaders off you and I'll deal with the shields! here, use Scorpio!" Roland sent down his turret, Scorpio, to assist them in dealing with the super powerful angelic loaders as he went to work on the sheilds. The room was then fueled by pure chaos. Bullets flew, blood splashed everywhere, and more profanity was said than at a trucksican mud wrestling match. Eventually, Roland took down 2 of the 3 tube's shields. The vault hunters then momentarily diverted their fire onto the tubes, but just as they were destroyed, angel screamed in pain. Maya looked at the distressed girl.

"What's wrong with her?!"

"The iridium is keeping her alive assholes! stop it! please!" Jack replied. His pleas fell on deaf ears for the moment as roland Approached the last shield. Unfortunately, an angelic guard got lucky and knocked him down to the ground. Now the last tube had a shield, but with no way to destroy it. It seemed the vault hunters were doomed.

"Here comes the Calvary!" Or not.

"Lilith? I told you to stay in sanctuary!" Roland yelled.

"Yea, well I didn't listen." Lilith replied as she blasted away the last shield to the last tube. It was finally time to end this. But not before jack said one last plea.

"Listen! don't do this! you're about to end the life of an innocent girl!" However, Angel was quick to counter his words.

"Jack ended my life years ago! Do it vault hunters! Now!" The vault hunters knew what they had to do. They nodded their goodbyes to Angel, and she nodded back. Jacl screamed. Bullets flew. Iridium spilled. And at the end of it all, Angels bubble went down, and so did she.

"Angle, baby listen! You can stop this! I'll still forgive you!" Jack said to his dying daughter.

"Dad..." Angel said weakly. Jack waited anxiously for a response. "You're an asshole..." Angel then grew still. And the world went silent.

"Well... That's that." Roland sakd as he closed Angel's eyes. "But our job still isn't done. Lilith, meet us back at sanctuary. We still have to deal with Jack-" Roland was interrupted by a bullet to the chest. He fell to the ground in a heap as Lilith screamed his name.

"Sup?" His murderer, Jack, said.

"You bastard!" Lilith yelled as she Fired up. "I'll kill you-" Jacl punched a color on her neck and pulled her to him.

"Ah, ah, ah. Language." Jack looked at the vault hunters and snarled. "What's that saying? Don't mess with a man who has nothing left to lose? Well, lets just see how much you have to lose-" Jack was suddenly interupted by an unlikely assailent. He felt searing pain in his thigh. He look to see none other than Tiny Tina twisting her cute little pink scissors into his leg. Jack took aim with his gun, amd fired. The poor girl didn't have a chance. She died before she could even hit the ground. Jack took the scissors from his thigh and threw them at the lifelss Tina. "Goddamn that hurt! Liluth, kill these damned vault hunters! Burn em to a crisp!" Lilith raised her hand against her will.

"N-no!" Instead of scorching them, Lilith teleported them to Marcus's Gun Shop store room.

"What the hell... WHAT THE GODDAMN HELL?!" Mordicai screamed over the echo. The vault hunters didn't reply. They just walked out of the store, not even looting it. They marched like the dead straight to sanctuary archives. They had a new mission now. A mission more important than amything they had ever done. More than killing the Destoryer, more than stopping Jack. their mission was simply this, they has to tell a little boy that he would never see his sister again.
