Rebirth of a Siren

Chapter 37: ….and Evil Snowmen - Tiny Tina

Tina came to after being knocked out to find herself alongside Angel, Sir Hammerlock, Maya and Gaige. She recalled that she had been talking with Gaige before Captain Flynt's bandits had found them. Tina had been saying, "While I was placing my lovely ladies down, I spotted a strange Hyperion Engineer talking with a hologram of someone important. They seemed to behind Ol' Midgey. I just thought I should tell you my dear princess as it might be why Ol' Midgey captured you."

Gaige replied, "Thanks for telling me but I am sure Midge just thought I killed a Bullymong." A Bruiser (a large, hulking and very muscular bandit) and some normal Bandits then had found them. Gaige was forced to fight them. As she killed them, Tina noted that a dark look that came over her face as she killed the normal Bandit. The Bruiser and Gaige exchange shots with each other.

The Bruiser stated confident, "You're going down!"

Gaige replied in a dark manic voice, "I doubt you have the capability to defeat me." Gaige then grinned psychotically. She gunned The Bruiser and The Bandits down in a hail of bullets.

This made Tina think of when Hyperius had said to his master, "The power of Anarchy will soon be in your hands." She did not say anything about this off course as she did not know if her theory that Gaige had the Anarchy that the Hyperion Engineer had been talking about. Then a smart Bandit utilised sleeping gas to take her and Gaige out. So, she came around later to find that they had been captured by Boom and Bewm. The main henchman of sadistic Captain Flynt. They had wanted Gaige but fortunately Boom and Bewm were killed by Commandant Steele. Who had ghostly tentacles and creepy looking eyes. After Boom and Bewm had been dealt with, Patricia Tannis and the CEO of the Torgue corporation, Mr. Torgue made an announcement on another vault and something to do with Gluttony Gulch. Tina wasn't listening as she did not care. She was only slightly annoyed when she found her ship had been stolen. Tina only started paying attention when they arrived back to Three Horns Divide. They, excluding Sir Hammerlock and Claptrap, made their way towards Sanctuary but encountered Nomads, a Nomad Torturer and The Nomad Taskmaster at a place known as Fishguts Outpost. Tina knew of Nomads since a couple worked with Flesh-Stick and Nomad Pryos were in The Children of The Firehawk. Gaige once again fired like a madwoman and killed most of the non-Nomads in one hit.

Gaige surprised Tina with appearance of a robot that she said was called "Deathtrap or DT." Tina was impressed with its design and effectiveness. As Steele explained the Nomads to the others, Tina saw Angel seemly know where a half-destroyed Hyperion Loader was. She pulled out a Hyperion Adaptor from this defeated Loader. Just what they needed to fix the local Catch-A-Ride so they can cross the gap leading to Sanctuary. They stayed at Fishguts Outpost that night. When Tina woke up, she found herself in the snowy landscape of Frost Bottom. Soon she encountered a large sleeping Snowman resembling Mister Snowflake but not as large. The noise of her footsteps awoke this snowman.

This snowman said, "Who dares awaken the great Frost Biter. Frost Nippers attack." Snowmen emerged from the ground. These Frost Nippers ended up chasing Tina towards a frozen lake. Tina threw explosives to destroy them. Frost Biter soon arrived on the scene alongside more Frost Nippers. Fortunately, the siren Maya arrived to help Tina fight against Frost Biter and The Frost Nippers. She used her siren powers to save Tina from a Frost Nipper. Their battle was interrupted by Dahl forces arriving on the scene which in turn allowed Maya and Tina to escape Frost Biter.

Once they defeated some Dahl Marines that chased them, Maya had asked Tina, "Are you ok?"

Tina replied honestly, "Of course pretty siren." She grinned and said, "That was fun killing all those people." Tina giggled and said, "I hope we can do it again." She had enjoyed herself while she was killing all those snowmen as she wasn't able to kill things that often. The Mercenary Day Train commandeered by the Children of The Firehawk came past. It was thrown off track by Midge's lieutenant Savage Lee riding the mythical Abominable Snowmong.

Savage Lee screamed, "REVENGE!" before he attacked Maya who of course killed his boss. So he ignored Tina. This was his mistake as Tina took the opportunity to jump on his back. She climbed up and shoved explosives in his mouth. She was flung off him before he exploded. She was caught by something strange. This strange being conversed with Maya as Tina recovered from being dazed.

The being introduced himself as "I am The Watcher. I am the guardian of Elpis and Pandora. My enemy, The Evoker and her master will unleash the creature known as The Wither Storm originating from the dimension known as The Blocky World." He explained what he was there for. They travelled to a blocky snowy landscape. The Watcher led them through the snowy landscape. At some point the entire ground shook as a gigantic version of Mister Snowflake slowly rose out of the ground. "Watch out, Its Chilblainer. The original snowman."

Chilblainer said slow but loud, "Watcher." He lumbered forward. The Watcher and Chilblainer fought each over. Despite The Watcher being quicker, Chilblainer managed to hold his own against him. "I will destroy you."

"You failed every time you tired too" The Watcher stated referencing their other fights.

"This time I will not fail" Chilblainer said before he slammed The Watcher into the ground. Chilblainer laughed as he tried to crush The Watcher with his hands. Maya then shot him with The Hellfire. The fire from the gun caused Chilblainer to hiss in pain. This allowed The Watcher to escape his grasp. The fire started to melt Chilblainer. As Chunks of him fell off, He said "I will return Watcher." He retreated by melting back into the snow.
