The sound of several Mantas and Korax can be heard off in the distance.
[Tyreen] God, the shit here are still just as annoying as they were back then… they taste great but still fucking annoying.
The sounds stop before a pained scream of a squad of Maliwan troops can be heard and then silence.
[Tyreen] Why did Troy think that getting them on our side was a good idea… Oh, it's finally working, Mozy was right about these EHCO-3 models being terrible at doing these.
Right, I should give some insight into this. Ave came to me a few days ago asking if I could record my side of things that happen a few months ago… and seeing what Troy did, I thought, eh, why not. So, most of you will probably no me more as Tyreen Calypso, once the God Queen of the Children of the Vault, but I go by Tyreen Deleon nowadays and this will be how a God Queen fell.
Being born on Nekrotafeyo was all well and good, but having mum die a few days after our birth and having dad cut Troy off of me really did set shit going downhill. With dad telling us about his grand adventures of the Vaults and what not pacified us for only so long and when our Siren powers started to manifest, dad started to tell us that we couldn't leave the plant due to people would kill us for our power. Finding the ship that dad and mum cashed in only spurred us on to fix it and leave dad with Sparrow and Grouse.
With dad telling us about the Vaults, the one story that stuck with us was the Great Vault of Pandora. And a shit hole it was when got there. It didn't take us long to start hunting for it and somehow we started to get a following of bandits about two weeks in. On the third week, Tory and I had a discussion about said bandit follows and we decided to embrace them… Well, Tory was more up for it I was, I just wanted to find the Vault.
With the increase of follows day by day, the bandits ended up calling us Gods due to our Siren powers and that they were our children, and so the Children of the Vault was born. Troy loved it, whilst he was fucking most, if not all the female bandits, I was left to research where the Vault was, it still didn't them calling me God Queen Tyreen and fuck knows how I came to be the face of the COV but I did.
To me, the whole thing started to get out of hand when Troy started to Live Scream (a tribble name I know) me disciplining of our follows by turning them into stone, it wouldn't have happened if the ass didn't burn some of my notes but what can you do when you're dealing with bandits. At that point, I had found out that we would need a shit load of Eridium to open the Vault and that is why Troy did what he did, he claimed that we could Live Scream shit like and set up a fake system where our followers could donate Eridium to help us.
I was surprised to see it work so well, the Eridium was flowing in and our follower count just kept on climbing up, what I wasn't happy about was the stupid persona I gave myself whenever we Streamed, I would have preferred to do anything other than act like me and Troy were entitled to every Vault.
With the increases of followers, the more people heard about us and deemed us as a threat. I had heard of the Crimson Raiders during our time here and I was tempted to join them at one point, they were mostly made up Vault Hunters and ex-Crimson Lancers from what I heard. As long as we kept to ourselves and the same for them then everything would be okay, right? Wrong.
In the following months, the COV had numerous conflicts with the Crimson Raiders, which we won all of them and that only seemed to fuel Troy's passion (and ego) for the COV, I was getting the feeling that, to him, finding the Vault was becoming less and less important and after a while, I started to think that as well.
I was the face of the COV, but Troy was the one that was calling the shots.
My research led me to finding multiple Vaults and key across this galaxy, which led us forming a deal Maliwan and set them on Promethea whilst we sorted out Pandora, with the Crimson Raiders all but dead or fled, I found out that they were looking for the Pandoras' Vault key, which led me to keeping an eye on them 24/7 with either Maliwan tech or a spy or two.
It was just after a new bunch of Vault Hunters killed Mouthpiece on Pandora that I laid eyes on the four new Vault Hunters, one in particular. She was shorter than the others, probably about my hight and the way that she stood told me that she was a soldier and form the camera feed I had installed there; she was one of the Vladofs' Bears form Promethea, which was funny as our reports said that they all died.
The time that me and Troy had been on Pandora, I knew that I preferred the same sex. Even with a large following, I could have had a pick of any female bandit or captured Raider but with Troy shagging nearly anything with two legs (men included), really did fuck thing up for me.
Of course, there was the woman with them and a Siren too, but I didn't really want to deal with all those extra arms, hell, I still didn't know the full extent of my own, so having another would have been a massive burden.
After me and Troy taunted them, I found through the spies I had that her name was Moze and that she was one of Vladofs' Bears that was sent to Promethea and that I wanted to meet the cute sort girl. Of course, Troy found out soon after and with him knowing my preference in the same sex, wanted me to try and get rid of her by any means.
And the perfect opportunity came on Promethea when one of the spies on Sanctuary III told that she used the Fast Travel Station to an unregistered location on Promethea, with the location and the Firehawks ability to Phasetravel anywhere, I was there in a blink of an eye.
"What's up, Super Fan," I said that I used for the Live Screams, only to find her kneeling in front of a half-burnt tree with her helmet off and her long hair over one shoulder. 'She looks better with her hair down.'
"I didn't know that places like this were still around, especially after what Maliwan have done to this planet."
Taking a few steps forward, I was able to see a makeshift tombstone with a helmet and half a dozen dog tags. "What? No quips?... And what's that you looking at? A grave… who's that belong to? You're boyfriends?"
What I wasn't expecting was her to stand in and instance and turn around with her helmet gripped tightly in one hand, like she was ready to use it as a weapon. "What the fuck do you want, Tyreen?" Tears were running down her face.
'What the fuck has happened to you, Moze?' I raise my hands in defence and talk a couple of steps back. "Whoa… easy Super Fan, I didn't mean to make you cry." I look her over and notice that she looked worser than I've ever seen her. "Why have you been crying, I don't think I've seen you crying since we've started this war."
I notice her grip on her helmet go slack before turning away from me. "Just… just leave." She managed to croak out.
"And here I was planning on killing you, but it's no fun when they don't fight back." I said as I took a few more steps away with the intent to leave her, after all, family is everything… and for some strange reason, it hurt to see her like that.
She threw me off guard when she turns back around and lifts her feel arm towards me. "Wait… please… please don't leave me."
'What has happened to you, cutie, you should be celebrating what they've done like I did with mum… Maybe a few drinks should help you.' I could help but smirk at the idea of her drunk. "I get ya, family is important and you miss them and I know something that should help." I said before disappearing in a burst of flame.
Finding booze didn't take that long as we had shit loads at the Cathedral and Troy wouldn't notice a full bag disappearing… got some funny looks from some of the bandits through. By the time I got back to Moze, I found her curled up on the floor with her helmet at her feet, crying louder.
Cocking my hip out, I pull a bottle out and tap her on the shoulder. "Here you go, Super Fan." I must have startled the poor thing as she falls forward onto the ground. I watch that cute ass disappear as she sits up and faces me and with a shaky hand, she takes the beer.
It was strange to get slightly drunk with the enemy, but it was nice. Nice to hear some of the stories about her and Bear Unit, hearing about some of the crazy shit that she got up. Granted I sat there and listened to her talk and I responded whenever something didn't make sense.
But when I was listening to her, I couldn't help take my gaze from her eyes, they were beautiful, to say the least, and with her hair down and flowing over her left shoulder, she really did look so god damn sexy. I just wanted to cuddle her forever.
I had to take my coat off due to booze making me feel incredibly hot, it had to be the booze and not this hot little gunner called Moze. I could feel her eyes rake over me after my coat came off. It just fuelled my drunken lust for her.
But when the booze ran dry, we called it there as I was sure that Troy and the rest of the bandits would start to find their drinks vanishing. We were enemy's after all and I would need some rest before the next Live Scream.
"I had more fun than I thought I would, Super Fan. But I should get going or Troy is gonna wonder where I am but…" 'Would she even want to do this again given what we are?' "if you wanna, like do this again sometime, just echo me. Okay?" I said as we stood and began to clip my coat over my shoulders.
"Sure, I would like that too." She said giving me a gentle smile.
'Fuck… how can she be so fucking hot.' I couldn't help but smirk at her. "Great," I turn around and move away just enough to not bring her with me. "oh, you look good with your hair down." I said before Phasetraveling out and back to the Cathedral.
"I've heard you're been drinking Ty." Troy said before I could do anything.
"Yeah, what of it? Can I not drink?" I turned to face the tall git.
I could feel his eyes bore into me as he leant up against a wall. "You can do what the fuck you want, I'm not dad. What I'm want to is did you kill her?"
'Shit… how can I tell him that I didn't kill her and that I kinda, sort of like her.' My face must have given it way as he groans and pushes off the wall to stand at his full height.
"You like her, don't you?" He spoke with a coldness that I've never heard before.
"Yeah, I do, so what. You've fucked every bandit here and I don't want your sloppy seconds."
"Ty-" I cut him off before he could finish.
"Plus, I was thinking that if I could befriend her and the other Vault Thief's, then maybe I would have the chance of killing them all." 'I hope to god that he fucking buys that, I… I don't think I could kill her.'
"That's not a bad idea Ty,"
'Oh, thank god.'
"why didn't I think of that." He pats my head with his metal hand like I was some sort of child.
"You where flat out drunk when you came up the plan."
"Anyway, you keep doing that Ty and I'll see you for the Live Scream." He said walking past and down a hallway.
With that ass out of the way, I made my way to my room, unhooking my coat at the door with the rest of my clothes littering the floor before claiming into my bed with a hand slipping in-between my legs.
Authors Notes
I didn't think I would have written another chapter for this so soon after finishing and posting the first chapter, but here it is.
I was tempted not to even write a chapter from Tyreens' prospective and leave what Tyreen and Troy were doing a mystery to you all, but I had way more fun writing Tyreens' backstory than I thought I would.
I wanted to give them the backstory of them wanting to become Vault Hunters after I heard the ECHOlog on Nekrotafeyo near to where you get the Vault key and you would have noticed that I made Tyreen be the smarter of the two and that she slowly succumbed to the Pandora lifestyle.
If there is anything you want to know about, feel free to comment/review as I will be more than will to clear anything up.
This story will be updated less than my main story, Beneath the Rose-Tinted Mask, (which I've made some progress in) as I will be writing this whenever I hit a writer's block with other.
Walk Tall and Be Fierce, my Friends.
