A/N we're getting closer to the end now. Closer to the answers. Closer to the truth. What will be revealed now? Only time will tell. Enjoy.

Chapter 14: Hero's always get remembered...

When he opened his eyes, he saw the vault hunters, as well as Mordicai and Brick, standing over him.

"Heh. Look who's awake." Mordi said.

"Feeling better little guy?" Maya asked while feeling his head. Before he could respond, somone burst into the room.

"He's in hero's pass!"

INTRODUCTION ALERT!

Tanis. Insane. Introverted. Hipster for ceiling chairs.

"Uh... Isn't that the place that's next to a river of lava?" Mordi asked. Tanis rolled her eyes.

"Not near imbecile, On!" She enunciated.

"Jeeze alright! On!"

It doesn't matter." Brick interrupted. He looked at the vault hunters. "Get to hero's pass... Tonight... Tonight we end handsome jack. Once and for all!" Everyone cheered as they got ready for the final assault.

Later

It wasn't easy getting here. But they were, and that's all that mattered. Hero's pass was... interesting. They fought though loaders, soldiers, explosions, and... Doors! Well, it was more of an obstical for claptrap, but it was an obstical nonetheless.

"Here we are... the vault of the warrior." Axton said. Before his team could comment, Jack interrupted the echo.

"Mmm... feel that child killers? That electricity in the air when you're about to murder someone?" Salvador snarled.

"Child killers... you're one to talk. And yes. I feel it. I feel it good and hard. I'm gonna shove my rocket launcher so far up your ass, it'll turn elpis cherry-pie red!" They collectivly hung up on Jack as they marched though the vally of death. And lava. Lava too. They rested for a brief moment at a nearby New-u station.

"No going back guys. Any words, in case they're our last?" Axton said.

"I'm gonna kick gum and chew ass... And I'm all outta ass." Salvador said as he cracked his knuckes.

"You only gotta kill mean bastards. But it's mean bastards you need to kill." Maya added.

"The dread wind blows true/ Jacks downfall is close at hand/ My gun feasts tonight." Zero also added.

"Yall are dumb. Last words are for someone who hasn't said enough." Gage finished. Kreig said nothing. They shook off the chill in their spine, and hopped into the vault. They looked around and saw nothing but rock, lava, and a control panel. That's when they saw handsome jack walk out from behind some stone, holding lilith. The vault hunters aimed their guns at jack, who did the same in return.

"Finally... face to face with the legendary bandits. You've come a long way and made a lot of progress. unfortunatly, it was all for nothing! Oh, and just so you know, I shut down the new-u station. Have fun never coming back!" Jack spawned a couple digi-jacks and the fight was on. Bullets and lazers flew everywhere they could fly. Knocking down bolders and stone structures and even took out an unfortunate rakk. Jack, as well as the vault hunters, took several shots but kept going until well after their shields went down. It was a fight to the end, and either side was damned if they weren't going to give it their all. The battle raged on, until a lucky shot from Zero's sniper chipped off a piece of Jack's mask, causing him tl retreat.

"Damn it! Enough of this bull crap!" Jack made lilith put down a shield as he slammed the vault key into the ground. The vault hunter's hearts dropped as the ground began to rumble. Suddely, a humungous monster arose from the lava and let out a blood chilling roar. "WARRIOR!" Jack bellowed. The warrior looked at him. "Kill." The warrior went to do just that. The vault hunters scrambled for cover as the warrior began his attacks. Unfortunatly... things quickly went downhill from there. Salvador took a nasty hit from one of the warriors lava balls, which incapacitated him but didn't kill him. The same impact rattled a nearby pillar of stone, sending several smaller, yet harmful, stones hurttling towards Gage, who took the brunt of it and fell unconcious. Maya pulled the poor girl to safety as axton covered her. It was safe to say the vault hunters were royally... yea.

"Guys!" Tanis yelled over the echo.

"Not now!" axton replied between shots.

"But Mike-"

"Is with you! We know!" Maya said as she phase locked a rakk. Tanis snarled.

"Mike's gone!"

"What?" Axton asked.

"I don't know, he was here one minute but then he was gone-" Her words were cut off by the warrior, who had his jaws poised to chomp on the vault hunters. But, just as the warrior prepared to deliver his killing blow, Jack stopped him.

"Wait! I want the satisfaction..." Jack lowered his shield as he approached them. He smirked and pulled out his pistol. "Finally... sweet sweet vengence." He aimed his gun.

"Hey jackass!" Someone yelled. Jack rolled his eyes.

"Really original! Asshole-" He was dropped by a swift left hook to the jaw. He crumbled but managed to look up at his attacker. "Heh... should have known you'd be back. You freak of nature!" Jack said with a sneer.

"My..." The person said. "Name..." They added with a step towards jack. "Is..." They stood above jack. "...Michael." The vault hunters eyes widened colectively, well, those who were awake. Mike raised his fist, but then the unspeakable happened. Jack aimed his gun right at Mike's chest, and pulled the trigger. Mike gasped as the bullet went though his chest. He slowly backed up as blood poured out of his newly made chest cavity. "Such a waste of a good experiment. You and that sister of your's would have made great candidates for our newest conquests. Oh well." Jack stood and turned away from Mike.

"No! You bastard!" Maya screamed.

"Wasn't one sibling enough?!" Axton added. Jack simply smirked as he aimed his gun back at them. He started to squeeze the trigger.
