It was going to be a long night, and Maya knew that all too well. She couldn't do anything, and as the first siren interrogated Sarah for info Maya felt her soul slowly being crushed. Maya's intentions were as of yet unclear, she went of the dreams. They revealed more about her past, events that she hadn't witnessed; Maya was getting a very disturbing yet important message from them and she planned on acting on those feelings.
That was impossible at the moment, since Maya's body was being possessed. "Well? Where is it?"
"Where … uh … is what?" Sarah asked, coughing up some blood. "You throw a few mean punches, but whoever you are you'll have to do better than that."
"Ha, you're confused," The Alpha said through Maya's lips, "you're speaking to Maya. She is after all a Siren—"
Sarah burst out in manic laughter, her voice cracked as she said, "You fool! I know Maya when I see her, I've studied her childhood and I know her!" By the look on Maya's face, Sarah sincerely regretted that she let her heart talk and not her brain.
"So you have the piece of information I need … very well then, it's been decided."
"What's been decided?"
"Oh nothing too complicated, just extremely painful," The Alpha said chuckling. "It's only a matter of time until you cough up what I need, along with your blood." Maya swung her gloved fist straight into Sarah's stomach, the woman grunted. Again another punched, followed by three more. At another, the fifth punch, both Maya and Sarah heard several ribs crack.
Not caring whether Sarah gave the information or not, the Alpha reared back for another punch. Maya snatched Axton's hatchet right out of his hand, and buried it in her right side. Maya's vision blurred with numerous black spots, and she nearly blacked out form the pain. Her only thought was, maybe the pain will drive it away.
The Twins of Destruction halted their demolishing of the town, only long enough to see Krieg charging at them. Both of them grinned, and one's head fell of half his skull chewed into. Krieg with a mighty pull dislodged his buzzaxe out of the psycho's skull.
The remaining Twin's eyes glowed purple, and it growled. Spikes and armor plates grew out of its flesh. A cylindrical fountain of pure thermosonic energy shot out of the Psycho's mouth, Krieg bellowed and unleashed his own torrent. Krieg's jet of flame didn't do much against the Psycho's energy beam, but Krieg did manage to slow its progress from melting his face off.
Axton yelled, "NO GOD DAMNIT NO!" Krieg realized very bad things were brewing in the house, and he needed to finish off the orphaned twin. Sucking in his flames, Krieg lit himself on fire. Flames flowed and dance across Krieg's skin. A tumult of hellish laughs sounded and rebounded from inside Krieg's skull, "NOOO THE VOICES MUST SILENCE THE VOICES!"
The beam hit Krieg and right before it killed him, Krieg transformed into the beast. The flames plus Krieg's new form made him impervious to harm. But Krieg could feel the flames ticking away, you don't have much time. Voice said. Kill this thing quick then go help Axton.
For once the Voice wished he would actually listen to himself, but of course he didn't. Krieg bellowed in the direction of the house, "THE VOICES SCREAM FOR YOUR NAME, AXTON HEED THEIR CALL!" With a roar Krieg charged directly at the Twin. Krieg braced his legs against the monster's thighs; he then punched the mammoth psycho so hard that it stumbled backward.
Krieg was big, but the Twin was 3 times Krieg's size. With a heave and rush of heat, Krieg's damage negating fire went out. The Twin took a crude short sword strapped to its belt, and swung at Krieg. The swing missed touching him, but Krieg was forced to jump off the Twin. Taking a moment to look at his fallen brother, the Twin spoke to Krieg, "You need to see the forest of gummy bones."
"NO YOU CAN NOT MAKE ME TASTE THE UNWANTED ECSTASY!"
"YOU WILL, UNLESS … YOU WANT THAT PRETTY MAYA OF YOURS TO DIE!" The Twin drove his sword into the middle of Krieg's chest; the blade came out the other end dripping in blood. Krieg took the bundle of dynamite and shoved it straight through the Twin's chest.
Unfortunately for Krieg his hand got stuck, the Twin laughed and shouted, "OUR DEATHS WILL JOIN US IN THE ETERNALLY BLOODY AFTERLIFE!" Krieg suffered, his feelings were a tumult of raging hell fire. What did he think of Maya? The Voice became one with Krieg in that moment, and Krieg asked himself. Do I dare call out the cheater?
The answer was obviously yes, and Krieg bellowed, "GAIGE MUST YOU WAIT ANY LONGER? I'VE SET THE TABLE FOR YOU, AND THE BEST SURPRISE IS INSIDE THE MEAT CAKE!"
A very large figure descended from the sky; suddenly it split into three versions of itself. Deathtrap's AI was contained within four vessels, the three about to engage the Twin and the original version with Gaige. Speaking of the gun toting profanity spewing punk, she was currently perched on the shoulder of DT.
"Ah I think that was Krieg," Gaige told DT as he hovered several feet above the church spire. Looking several miles away and downwards, Gaige spotted Krieg who had his fist stuck inside a nefarious looking monster several times bigger than him. In that moment, Gaige revealed her new invention; taking her mechanized arm she raised it in a Hitler salute.
Claws grew out of the arm, very large claws which were a combination of metal and digistruct energy combined with Gaige's Anarchy. Gaige, with her left arm extended out behind her flew clinging to the back of DT's back. Suddenly DT split into three versions of himself, and Gaige's eyes lit up with pride. All the 3 hours work had paid off, Gaige was getting REALLY good at upgrading Deathtrap.
Oh dear things just got really intense, cya in the next chapter.
