Here's where things get very interesting...

Leesa sat at the campsite behind Split Skull Bay, staring at the camp fire that wasn't lit. Snow was lightly falling and gathering on Leesa's bare shoulders. Her form of ice has made her tolerable to low freezing temperatures. Ice and snow clung onto the tips of Leesa's eyelashes, showing that her eyes had been open for long periods of time.

'You're a moron, Leesa... You're over Jack...' Leesa thought to herself while shoving every memory of her and Jack out of her head.

"...Hey..."

Leesa turned to look over her shoulder. Axton stood by one of the rocks that blocked the campsite from view of the road. He slowly walked up to Leesa, sitting down next to her on the cold ground, "What are you doing out here?"

"Thinking."

"About what?" Axton asked while looking over Leesa's form. Her lips were a light blue and her eyes were dull.

"Leaving Pandora." Leesa answered simply.

"Why would you leave?"

"Cause you were right Axton... I've caused more trouble for your friends than anything."

"Our friends." Axton corrected, "You were never the cause of these problems. Things just... Happened when you showed up. No big deal."

Leesa opened her mouth slightly, letting out a hot breath that turned into a white cloud in the cold air, "Why are you out here?"

"I was worried about you."

Leesa glanced at Axton, "Why?"

"Because you're my friend?" Axton asked tentatively, "Leesa, I don't know what's going on in your head, but I'd like to know."

Leesa bit her lip before looking back at the pile of wood in front of her and Axton, "I was so heartbroken when you told me Jack had been with other women. After all the crap he put me through... Put you guys through... I still have feelings for him. Small, but they're still there."

Axton nodded, "They say you go for the love you think you deserve."

Leesa quickly looked over to Axton, "But I want Mordecai..."

"There's some part of you that still cares for Jack even though he's gone. That part of you thinks you deserve nothing better." Axton explained, reaching forward to place a hand on Leesa's shoulder. Her skin was like soft ice, but Axton didn't remove his hand. "If you do want Mordecai, why would you leave?"

"I don't think he really wants to be with me... I cause a lot of pain for him that I tend to ignore. My ex husband killed two of his best friends..."

"That wasn't you though."

"It's hard for someone who's still mourning to realize that..." Leesa looked at Axton sadly.

Axton sighed at the realization, "I... Get it now. I did that to you the other day."

Leesa smiled a little.

"What was it like in the ice?"

Leesa paused, "It was tiring."

Axton moved to face Leesa completely, "What happened?"

"It was just me and my thoughts... I mentally battled Icebringer for my emotions and sanity. I won the battle but not the war. She's waiting for her chance." Leesa explained, "If I slip up once with my emotions, she'll be free... I am literally my own worst enemy."

Axton pulled out a fire rifle and ignited the wood, the flames growing and illuminating the darkening area as the sun set.

"What do you think the numbers mean?" Leesa asked.

"I... I don't know. I'm leaving that all up to Tannis." Axton responded while putting his rifle away.

"I'm sorry about your child. You would have made a great dad, I'm sure."

Axton smiled a little, "Thanks..."

"You and I are a lot alike, Axton."

Axton stole a glance at Leesa, "Yeah, we are." He suddenly stood up and held his hand out to Leesa, "I want to show you something."

Leesa looked up at Axton for a moment before placing her hand in his and allowing him to pull her up off the ground. She followed Axton out of the campsite and got into the car parked behind some rocks.

As Axton drove to a fast travel, Leesa looked around, remembering the night her and Mordecai took a drive... The night she realized she was falling for him.

"I got Mordecai a gift to make up for our fight."

"Oh yeah?" Axton parked the car and was about to get out of it when Leesa grabbed his arm.

"Promise me that if I do leave Pandora, you'll let Mordecai know that I didn't leave because of him."

Axton slowly nodded, "I promise..."

Leesa smiled, "Thank you, Axton." She got out of the car and waited for Axton to place a location in the fast travel.

After they exited the blue vortex, Leesa looked around, "Where are we?"

"Oasis." Axton answered, "We'll have to walk through the town to get a ride."

Leesa nodded and followed Axton, taking in the town of Oasis. The lights strung up lit up the night, showing every detail in the homes and banners of PierFest. Leesa stopped walking when she passed a body tied to a pole with a mega phone on it.

"What the hell is this?"

"Don't ask." Axton grabbed Leesa's arm and pulled her back into walking.

"Heeeeeeyyyyyyyy! Axton buddy best friend!"

"Oh no." Axton groaned as he and Leesa walked closer to the stand Shade was inside of.

"Best friend! Who's this?! Another awesome friend?!" Shade leaned over the booth's counter, shoving his hand out for Leesa's, "I'm Shade! Oh so nice to meet you!"

Leesa laughed lightly and shook Shade's hand, "I'm Leesa!"

"Ah Leesa! What a pretty name! Oh, but don't get any ideas! Nicole over there is my woman! Even though she doesn't admit to it! Haha... Ha." Shade ranted excitedly.

Leesa smiled and was about to respond when Axton pulled Leesa to the side, "Sorry Shade but we have to get going!"

"Awh come back soon! I need you!" Shade called out as Axton practically ran away with Leesa.

She laughed lightly, "What an interesting... Fellow."

"You have no idea."

Axton stopped pulling Leesa once they reached the Catch A Ride. He digistructed a sand-skiff and got into the driver's seat, "Come on!"

Leesa climbed onto the sand-skiff and sat in the gunner seat. Axton drove the sand skiff across the expansive desert, heading to Wurmwater. Leesa shot at a few sand worms along the way while Axton ran over bandits and pirates.

After some time, Axton slowed the sand-skiff to a stop and hopped out of the vehicle. Leesa jumped off, her feet sinking into the sand slightly from the impact. The lights from the sand-skiff was the only source illuminating the area around Leesa and Axton. She looked up and saw Axton walk over to a metal contraption almost fully buried by the sand.

He used his hands to dig around the object, brushing sand off and away from it. Leesa walked up and kept watching until the majority of it was uncovered. As soon as she saw the object, her mind flashed to an image of Brick looking down on her. The vision was blurry and only lasted for a split moment.

"What is this?" Leesa asked.

"This is the case Maya and Zero found you in." Axton answered, opening up the case to show the inside.

"Was Brick there?"

"Yes, he carried you to Sanctuary."

"So I was just a piece of cargo to Jack..." Leesa looked down at the sand, "Why did you bring me out here?"

"To tell you that you shouldn't leave Pandora."

Leesa glanced at Axton, watching him as he looked down at the case.

"It's hard for me to say this, but you belong here. You've been here longer than most of us, trapped in this case... This one object is what brought you to us. You've done a lot for us and we'll all miss you if you leave."

"Axton, I-"

"You believe in destiny don't you?"

Leesa's eyes widened, "... Yes."

"... I'm sorry, Leesa."

Leesa looked at Axton in confusion, "For what?"

Suddenly, Axton grabbed onto Leesa's hair and slammed her head down onto the case. Her unconscious body fell onto the sand before the case.

Axton stared down at Leesa, breathing heavily before lifting her up into his arms. He carried Leesa over to the sand-skiff and gingerly placed her in the front.

"I have to do this for Sarah."

Whoo some more drama for you guys!

Now, let's see if Trey will keep his end of the bargain with Axton.

Do you guys have an idea on what Leesa got Mordecai?
