Do Not Own Borderlands
Rebirth of a Siren
Chapter 21: Boom Bewm - Steele
Steele awoke and frowned as she didn't even remember being knocked out. So, she retraced her steps that occurred after waking up after defeating King Mong. She found the sleeping Angel embracing her which made Steele become uncomfortable with the warmth radiating off Angel. Angel awoken not long after. Angel said looking relieved "You alive"
Steele said, "Thanks for your help…." having forgotten her name.
"Angel" Angel said not bothered that Steele had forgotten.
"Well since you saved my life, I think I should know who you are?" Steele had enquired.
"Well I am a Siren like you" said Angel not saying anything else. Steele did not care enough to press. Steele got changed back into her clothes and they left the safehouse. Steele barely notice that Angel had decided to hang off her arm as they walked. She didn't mind as much. They arrived at Liar's Berg to find Claptrap was annoying Sir Hammerlock. He looked happier when he saw them.
Sir Hammerlock asked "Is King Mong dead?"
"Yeah" Steele said still not looking at Claptrap, so she will not rip him apart. Angel then soothed her anger by nuzzling up to her. "This is Angel, she saved my life"
"Its nice to meet you" said Sir Hammerlock "I am Sir Hammerlock" This is when Maya have arrived with two other people. Steele did not notice Angel deliberate let Maya see their closeness nor Maya's glare. Sir Hammerlock said as he saw the new arrivals "Exemplary! I believe Midge-Mong to be dead if you have returned"
Steele said to let Maya know "So is King Mong"
"That is good news so that means we can now leave this place for sanctuary," Maya had said much to Steele relief as she was sick of looking at all the snow of ice. Maya then introduced the two new people "This is Gaige and Tina" Steele introduced Angel leaving out the fact that Angel had fallen asleep while embracing her when she wasn't wearing anything. With that, they then had made their way to the ship and piled on board. Steele had found herself being pulled by Maya away to a secluded spot on the ship. Maya asked looking anger for a reason that Steele couldn't/t work out "Who is this Angel?"
Steele was unfazed as she said, "Angel is another Siren who saved me from drowning after dealing with King Mong" She kissed Maya and said with genuine feeling "I am glad you are ok" Maya still looked angry.
"Tell me the truth Helga," Maya said coldly making Steele fill up with rage. She clamed her self down.
She said "Fine. Never call me Helga again" as a warning before going onto say "I have no idea of who she is but I do know that she is a friend" Maya looked calmed so Steele relaxed. Steele leaned in to kiss her again but they were interrupted by the boat suddenly stopping. This made Steele grow in rage and to stormed off. Steele froze when she saw The Ice Sickle, a large ship with a massive gun. Dozens of Bandits, Marauders, Badass Marauders and Psychos were on the deck.
One of the bandits said "Hey Boom Bewm look what we found" After that Steele was pretty sure that one of the bandits threw a bomb with some kind of sleeping gas inside. After remembering how she was knocked out, Steel surveyed where she was. She found her chained to a post in an empty room. Her rage of being disturbed was still there. A yellow Marauder, that Steele assumed was Boom Bewm entered the room.
He said, "Hello Commandant"
"You must be Boom Bewn" Steele said
"Nope" he said, "I'm Boom" Boom then said "Captain Flynt will be so happy that we have the person responsible for his brother's death. I hope your death contains a massive BOOM!" He said the last part very loud. He then said, "Don't worry about your friends, my brother Bewm is dealing with them" Boom then said with sadistic glee "I bet he gives the ladies to the men. They hadn't had a woman in a long time"
"If you hurt them" Steele said gritting her teeth. She did not want anything to happen to Maya or surprisingly Angel. Sir Hammerlock, Tina and Gaige she couldn't give a damn. Claptrap she hoped he was facing horrible things.
Boom replyed to what she had said with "What you going to do if we do hurt your friends. You trapped here with me and soon be with Captain Flynt. The good captain will be super happy to have another plaything alongside Claptrap" He started laughing making Steele angrier. This rage built as he continued laughing. Something inside Steele snapped.
She was confused when Boom said "What the…" as he stepped back in fear. He saw that her eyes had turned into mini versions of The Destroyer's eye. A ghostly tentacle then impaled him in the chest. He was killed instantly. Steele felt herself fill with power and more of the ghostly tentacles emerged from her back. They destroyed her chains with ease. Steele stepped out the room confidently. Tearing through Boom Bewm's men like they were butter as she moved across the ship. Eventually she made to the bottom of the ship where a yellow Midget Shotgunner obviously Bewm and a dozen Bandits, Marauders, Badass Marauders and Psychos with in. Maya, Angel. Sir Hammerlock, Tina and Gaige were tied up. Claptrap was being kicked by two Badass Marauders.
Steele said in darker voice full of power "Release them Bewm" Maya, Sir Hammerlock and Gaige were staring at Steele with wide eyes. Tina seemed to not be effected by her presence. Angel however was staring fascinated. Bewn looked fearful.
Bewn ordered "Get Her" His men all however decided to flee. Steele let them go as there was no where for them to run from her.
"Then you will end up like your brother" were all Bewn heard as he was swiftly killed before he could try and shot her. Steele released Maya and Angel before reluctantly releasing Sir Hammerlock, Tina and Gaige.
Angel hugged Steele and said with gratitude "Thank you" Angel was pulled off Steele by aa clearly unhappy Maya.
Maya enquired "So what is this?"
"What do you mean?" Steele said not sure what she had meant.
"Well how should I put this" Maya said then tried to find the right words.
"Patricia Tannis here and I have found another vault" The voice of Tannis said interrupting everything over the ECHO.
