Chapter 11: Free Bird

Axton made his way back to the encampment where the resistance was constantly plotting their next assault on the Tyrant who ruled over the land. Its funny how things turn out. Swap out one psychopathic die-hard power-hungry asshole for somebody who's even worse than that. The kinds of things that would just make him wonder if it was all worth fighting for...how could he know that Miguel just slit all of his friends throats? How long before Gaige was raped or had her other arm cut off? Would Kurt be bribed into giving all of his stocks in exchange for their freedom? What about Maya?

'Well I've really fucked up big this time...' Axton though pinching his temples 'It's just like that jockstrap incident, except Zer0 isn't around to help out...and I got my insignia ripped off...and I'm lost...'

"Axton!" Tio exclaimed walking to his new friend with a grin on his face "The radio signals are already freeing up! Great work friend!" He then said patting his shoulder, making Axton chuckle a bit.

"So whatcha got?" Axton asked

"Well, when you knocked the tower, we heard a conversation between Miguel and one of his many acolytes." Tio said pulling out an old, rusted ECHO.

MESSAGE PLAYBACK

PIRATE: Boss, whatchu want me do bout the prisoners?

MIGUEL:...leave them for now, I'll have to wait a bit, got a pretty good hunch who knocked down that tower...*chuckle* looks like Soldier boys come back from the dead...

'Shit..' Axton thought

PIRATE: Anything else boss?

MIGUEL: Actually yeah, we're going to need a few others to take Bird-Boy to a new encampment, looks like his drinking and sniping days are over...and he's back to square one... Have someone pick him up in an hour or so...now fuck off..

PIRATE: Y-yes boss!

MIGUEL: *chuckle* And Axton? I know it was you that knocked over that tower... If someone is recording this message... then in that case I'll see ya real soon!

END OF MESSAGE

"Well, shit..." Axton muttered

"Mierda..." Tio cursed "We just picked up the message as soon as you arrived, that means whoever "Bird-Boy" is has only an hour before he gets worked to death..."

"Bird-Boy...Must be talking about Mordecai" Axton said remembering what Miguel said. Tio's eyes widened.

"..Mordecai?.." Tio asked looking at Axton with a wide-eye face,

"Yeah...know the guy?" Axton questioned looking at Tio's surprised face.

"I...I think...look, it's very important that you get there before Miguel's men take him away," Tio said digressing from the statement

"Don't hafta tell me twice Boss," Axton said "If I could get near the camp and act like of them, I could sweep up Mordecai myself and bring him back here," Axton thought, but then finding out the sad truth "Only problem is...Where the flying fuck is the camp," Tio chuckled

"You're in luck, Miguel was using that radio tower to jam his location of his camp where he is holding your friends, its about a 15-minute drive if you haul ass there, so take the buggy my man fixed up and you should be good to go." Tio explained

"Well...that's convenient..." Axton muttered "Does Miguel know where you guys are hold up?"

"Not exactly..Not yet at least," Tio said again "That's why we can't waste time. Get in the jeep, get to the encampment, free Mordecai, and bring him back."

"Gotcha boss," Axton nodded walking to the jeep.

"And remember," Tio said, making Axton turn his head towards the voice "No matter how tempting it can be, you must only save one at a time...I'm not sure if theres anyone else there, someone who means alot to you. But you must only save him, two at a time is near suicide, let alone one."

Axton paused, furrowed his eyebrows, remembering how all his friends watched him 'die' before their very eyes. Maya...

"I know..." Axton silently replied, walking towards the jeep, firing up the engine (which he was surprised actually functioned, and sped off towards the beacon set by Tio.

Surely enough, 15 Minutes later, driving through thick vines, grass, and mud, Axton could see a few buildings from the distance. He stopped the jeep and grabbed his rifle from the side skirt where it was holstered.

'A deaf man could hear this a fuckin mile away..' Axton though 'Better go on foot from here'

His pace was steadied and his movements and footsteps were watched keenly by himself so he wouldn't alert anybody of his presence. As he made his way to the camp, he saw many groups of prisoners being shuffled along with Pirates hitting them with their gunstock, then leaning them against a wall, then shooting their throats. As he looked on at the holocaust, he saw piles and piles of dead prisoners and rebels, soaked in gasoline and lit ablaze.

"Oh my god.." Axton quietly said to himself as he looked at the horror.

"Yeah gimme a sec, gotta take a leak!," A Pirate yelled as he approached the bush Axton was hiding by.

"Perfect..." Axton whispered letting off a smirk, crouching down lower so he wouldn't be seen by the approaching pirate. Axton heard a zip and the Pirate began to let the floodgates loose about 3 feet from the bush he was hiding near. In the blink of an eye, Axton lunged out the shrub, grabbed the Pirate by the throat, holding his mouth, making sure he would let out a cry for help. The commando dragged the Pirate into the grass, pulled out his tomahawk and lodging it deep in the Pirates chest, causing him to scream under Axton's hand. He felt the Pirate struggle under his strong grip, it soon became less, and less, and even less, until finally, he stopped jerking.

A Few Minutes have past, and Axton slipped on the jacket the Pirate was wearing, as well as putting the bandana covering his face onto his own, as well as putting on the beanie the pirate had. He dragged the now lifeless corpse into the bushes where it wouldn't be seen by the common eye. As Axton stepped out of the bushes, he observed the camp to see if he could recognize any familiar face. Sure enough, he saw the blue hair that belonged to a Siren that he loved and cared about, from the expression she was giving, it seemed like she has given up all hope..

'Maya...' Axton thought to himself as he made his way towards the hut that contained his friends.

When he approached the hut, he stepped inside to see a few pirates discussing near his close friends. There he saw Mordecai, Lilith, Kurt, Gaige, Salvador, and Maya, all with looks of sorrow and lost faith. He can't blow his cover...

"So what should we do?" A pirate asked

"Boss sez we gotta wait for someone to pick up Bird Boy whoever the fuck he is..." A pirate answered back to him. Now was Axton's chance.

"Thats me.." Making his voice deeper and much more harsh than usual, then walking up to the Pirates "I'll take care of him, you guys check the other prisoners."

"Gotcha, later man...and save the blue haired one for me..." A pirate chuckled walking off with his comrade. As Axton watched the pirates leave, he turned his attention to Mordecai.

"You...You're coming with me..." Axton growled as he stormed towards his friend and hit him with the butt of his rifle., causing him to shout in pain.

"NOOO! PLEASE!" Lilith Cried as he saw Mordecai get untied and hoisted up by a disguised Axton.

"Shut up Bitch!" Axton growled at Lilith, trying to keep his tough persona up not to blow his cover.

"Lilith, I'll be fine... don't worry about me, I'll-" Mordecai tried to explain, only to be headbutted fiercely by Axton, making Mordecai flinch in agonizing pain.

"Let's go Bird Boy..." Axton laughed as he dragged Mordecai towards the exit of the hut, until he was stopped by a familiar voice.

"Fucking pirate scum...," Kurt spat "Blindly taking orders from a fucking psycho..."

Axton looked to Kurt, then dropped Mordecai on the ground, walked up to Kurt, kneeled down in front of him. He shot a death glare that could pierce a million souls, a stare that Kurt has seen before. It was the same same stare Miguel gave him...

Axton looked down a saw a bullet wound in Kurts side, and used his thumb to push the wound even deeper than it already was.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Kurt screamed as Axton pushed the bullet deeper into Kurt's side, then finally let free his thumb.

Axton then stood up, wiped the bloody thumb on his shirt, then grabbed Mordecai and headed outside of the hut. Lilith saw as The pirate dragged Mordecai across the yard, but then stopped, looked around to see if any others were looking, then bolted into the jungle, making her eyebrows raise in confusion.

'Something tells me that pirates wasn't one of them...' She thought to herself looking at The pirate and Mordecai descend into the dense jungle.

Mordecai was shoved along in the jungle with the Pirate, still grimacing and groaning from he inflicted. Memories of his childhood began to flood back to him; a young child with a torn spirit that was separated from his parents by the very menacing Pirates that he was being dragged away with right now. Back to square one...

"You know what..." Mordecai growled "You better just kill me now than just wasting your time... because there IS NO WAY I am working for YOU PSYCHO FUCKS!"

The pirate chuckled.

"Lets hope it stays that way, boss.." Axton said breaking character when he noticed they were clear from the camp.

Mordecai lifted his head as he hear that familiar voice once again... It was Axton.

He spun around to see his thought desceased ally and friend. "Axton...Holy Shit man you're alive!" He yelled as he embraced his friend, patting his back while chuckling a bit. Axton let out a chuckle to see that he has enlightened and raised his hope by his presence.

"Yup, Miguel put on a little scare tactic to keep your hopes to a dead stop." Axton explained with a grin.

"Yeah, well it worked like a charm..." Mordecai chuckled, before remembering the pain that was inflicted by Axton. "Damn...ya think you could've laid off on some of those hits man?" He said rubbing his head. Axton let out another chuckle.

"Heh, you got no sense of Acting man!" Axton said holding his arms up.

"You headbutted me!" Mordecai said looking at his friend in disbelief.

"C'mon boss, I had to make it to look believable..." Axton admitted patting his shoulder "But what's important is that we've gotta get back to the camp alright?"

"No fuckin way man," Mordecai muttered "We gotta get the others!" He then said heading back to the camp, only to be stopped by Axton's hand.

"Whoa whoa whoa chief," Axton interjected "The second you step into that camp is the same second you get piled with lead. We gotta head back to the camp and figure out another plan to get em outta there." He then said.

"...But we gotta.." Mordecai tried to say

"Hey, well get em...I promise.." Axton assured Mordecai looking at his goggles, noticing something was wrong with his left eye. "Hey, what's wrong with your left eye?" He asked lifting up his goggles to see the horrid sight of a charred eyeball.

"JESUS!" Axton exclaimed "What the fuck happened?!"

"Miguel Happened..." Mordecai muttered putting back his goggles "Fuck...I could use a drink..."

"We'll get back to the camp, and have that eye disinfected. Alright.?" Axton said once again, causing Mordecai to sigh.

"Alright man..If you say so... Which way?"

"Theres a buggy we can take that I left bout a click that-away" Axton said pointing in the Northeast.

"Lets get going..." Mordecai said, "Lead the way Ax,"

Axton began in front of Mordecai and trudged through the thick mud and vines. Once again, Mordecai was freed from his chains. How long would this cycle last for him? He didn't know, and he didn't care...

MIGUEL: OKAY fuckers! Chapters done! And guess what? LurkingT is making a very speeding recovery from his fall! He should be in writing shape for the next chapter!

ME: *whimper* YOU TAPED CHOPSTICKS TO MY FINGERS!
