Chapter 7
Instead of using the Fast Travel station, I decided to do something even more awesome at the edge of Sanctuary. I activated my Siren powers from the ground at the edge of the floating area and forced a column of dirt and rock out of the ground and to a height that would allow me to ride down in style. I got the attention of a lot of people when I did this, mostly because that's how OP my Siren powers were. And I was in love with it. "Going to take down Jack in style! Woohoo!" I smiled as I forced the rock to go down slowly but surely, like an elevator, all the while feeling the wind in my face as I did it... but then I got an Echo transmission from someone that I didn't recognize. "Hey, are you the so-called 'Amnesiac Siren'? Name's Mordecai and I need your help with something," the voice said, me realizing he was on our side when he said his name.
"Yeah, you could say that. What do you need help with?" I asked him. "Listen, I was trying to go after a Hyperion Convoy with my pal Bloodwing. She's my pet bird and a badass in the skies. We fell for a trap and she made it so I could get away... but then the Hyperion goons grabbed her and took off for the Exploitation Preserve. That place is bad news for animals and humans alike, as it's Jack's main area for Slag experimentation," Mordecai explained. "What's Slag?" I asked. "It's the element that makes up liquid Eridium. Get it on ya, then you're more vulnerable to other attacks. But Jack's trying to use it to turn creatures into fortified war machines. I don't want that to happen to Blood, so please, get to the Exploitation Preserve as fast as you can!" Mordecai said. "Got it!" I said as I tried to focus and look at my map, looking to see where this preserve could be.
The place that marked my interest was a place that said "Wildlife Exploitation Preserve" and it was to the far west of my current location. "Okay, time to Phase Warp," I smiled at the name I made and I warped my body out of the Three Horns Divide and I reappeared in a small alcove area that overlooked the entire preserve, scaring the shit out of Mordecai and Gaige in the process... as well as a single girl I didn't recognize. "WHOA! Witch! Burn 'er!" the little girl exclaimed as she brought out a stick of dynamite and Mordecai had to swipe it from her hands. "Okay, ever heard of the phrase 'don't judge a book by it's cover'? Because I'm the good guy in this scenario," I frowned at the little girl with the bandit mask situated on the side of her head.
She looked kind of wild in appearance as she was constantly bouncing, her one eye seemed to be a lazy eye, her hair was unkempt and dirty, and her clothes were also filthy... but surprisingly, she smelled like lemonade. "Sorry, babe, I just get startled real easy, hehe," the little girl smiled at me. "This is Tiny Tina, the most gifted Demolitions Expert in all of Pandora and our boom girl for the Raiders," Mordecai smiled, me looking shocked by his words. "A girl as young as you? How old are you?" I asked her. "NEVAH ask a girl her age!... Thirteen by the by.. the by," the little girl smiled as I could sense something... off about her. She was a bit insane, so I had to ask. "Um... were you tested on with Eridium at all?" I asked her, Tina looking surprised when I asked this.
"H-How did ya know?! Were you in my brain?" Tina asked in shock. "I had a feeling... listen, I'll fix you up after I find Mordecai's bird, okay? I have a knack for purifying Eridium," I smiled at her. "Okay, I trust yas... anyways, Mordecai's birdie is in the preserve. You'll need to find some way in there before they do anything to hurt the cutie," Tina smiled. "Okay, I think I see an area of interest already... an observation area fashioned to look like an arena... I'm going for it. Wanna come with, Gaige?" I smiled at my companion. "Sure enough," Gaige smiled as she grabbed me with her right hand and I had us jump off of the cliff and I formed a flume of dirt and rock that rode me over to the arena deck like I was a tidal wave surfer. And honestly, it felt awesome! "WOO! I'm just like a surfer chick!" I smiled as Gaige and I jumped off the rock and dirt wave when we reached the arena, both of us landing easily and hearing Jack on the radio.
"Huh? How the hell did you get in there so quickly?" I heard Jack ask me. "Simple. With my power over rock and earth, I simply commanded the land to surf me into the preserve. So, asshole, where's Bloodwing? Where's the bird?" I asked him with a stern frown. "You really want Bloodwing?" Jack smirked viciously, me looking shocked for the first time in awhile. "What are you plotting?" I said to him with a wary voice as one of the different elevator trap doors opened out of nowhere. "I really hate to see her go... she was going to be my finest warrior... but now I guess you can fight her yourself!" Jack smiled as we saw the true horror of what he had done.
Right in front of us and from the elevator came a gigantic bird covered in purple gunk and looking to be quite pissed, almost as if she were under mind control! "Oh my god..." Mordecai gawked from afar into the Echo, just to let us know what he thought. "Oh no he does NOT!" I exclaimed as I ran forward and connected my hand to Bloodwing's, wondering if what Gaige and Maya said about my purification powers were true or not... and color everyone surprised when, out of nowhere, my body slowly absorbed the gunk from Bloodwing's body and into my body, the force of it actually making me grit my teeth because of it being a bit painful to do.
But then, when I had every last bit of gunk removed from her body, I then breathed out a huge force of air. It was so forceful, that it managed to rip right through the metal of the arena and absolutely demolish the rest of the Hyperion Preserve, Bloodwing still being gigantic, but otherwise unharmed... until I saw something that I knew would be hard even for me to pull off. An explosive collar, most likely set up by Jack, right around her neck. I ran to her neck and tried to hack it loose with Phase Shifting as I started to hear the beeping of it starting a blast. "OH NO YOU DON'T, PRETTY BOY! ! ! YAAAGGGH! ! !" I growled in frustration as I finally got the device off of Bloodwing's collar and threw it to the other end of the arena, it causing a Hyperion worker to explode into a thousand pieces and for Bloodwing to look at me with what I assumed to be gratitude.
"Wait... what the fuck just happened?" Jack asked. "I saved a bird and made her way past 20 percent more badass in the process," I smiled as I stroked Bloodwing's large beak, her looking to be quite happy at me helping her escape death's door. "Huh... I did not expect that... it's actually... well, I never thought I'd say this to a rotten bandit, but... kudos. You stopped one of my plans. Props, girl, I was going to kill Bloodwing and then play a violin all sarcastically for her death... you ruined all the fun..." Jack frowned. "Thanks, shut up, and this isn't the only plan that I'm going to foil, pretty boy," I smiled as Bloodwing actually let her wing down and Gaige and I got onto it, her looking just as shocked as I was at the fact that I had just rescued Mordecai's bird from death.
"Yip yip," I smiled at Bloodwing, her letting out a loud screech of delight as she took to the skies and soared over to Mordecai and Tiny Tina, both of them shocked at how I had pulled off this amazing feat. "Blood... you look so beautiful... I missed you so much," Mordecai smiled as he stroked Bloodwing's beak, her cooing and cuddling her head against Mordecai happily. "I think she likes you, too. After all, you rescued her from being tortured," Mordecai smiled at me. "Really? Is she an intelligent creature?" I asked with a smile. "The most intelligent companion I've had in all my life. She means the world to me... I can't thank you enough for rescuing her from that horrible place," Mordie smiled at me as I hopped off of Bloodwing and he and Tiny Tina got onto Bloodwing's back. "We're going to ride back in style, girl!" Tina smiled. "Wait, I need to get rid of the Eridium in you first," I said to Tina as I placed my hand on her and attempted to do the same thing... but instead of that happening, I had a vision...
This vision was much different than the others, as it was actually from Tina's perspective instead of my own. It looked like she was in Eridium testing along with two older people who I assumed were her parents, with Tina looking to be at least 7 years of age at the time of the vision. She looked even tinier than usual. And her parents were being taken in for Eridium testing with her just getting a starting injection of slag into her bloodstream, which I found disgusting... but I couldn't help but notice something... familiar about the father. "Listen Tina, everything's going to be okay... trust me," said the father, him looking to be going up first and being strapped into a chair..
"Okay, Tina... just don't look... don't look at us... listen, Krieg, baby, we'll get through this... promise me that you'll stay strong..." the mother said, my mouth dropping down to the ground when I heard her call the father by name. Now I realized something incredible that I hadn't before! Krieg, this whole time, was actually Tiny Tina's father! And Tiny Tina, this girl I had literally just met, was the daughter of a Psycho that had a conscience! Now I understood why Krieg was able to be more civilized than most other Psychos! It was because he was holding onto a shred of hope that Tina would be okay!
But then came the horror. The two parents started getting Eridium sent into their bloodstream with electricity crackling against their bodies, their screams of torture making Tina cry as her mother said something. "Honey! Remember that heavy rock I had you hide in your dress?! Pull the pin from the top, then throw it at the wall!" her mother said as I could tell that the Eridium was destroying her from the inside-out. "Mommy?" Tina asked in a terrified voice. "JUST RUN TINA! RUUUUUUNNNNNNNN! ! !" her mother exclaimed loudly as Tina did just that and blew up the wall to the preserve, running after the explosion happened and her tears watering her eyes as she started to jitter about. The first signs of going crazy from slag.
When my vision ended, I saw that Tiny Tina looked to be crying while smiling, almost as if she were remembering something that I didn't recognize. "M-Mommy... daddy... I remember now... they saved me... they sacrificed their lives... so I could be alive..." Tina cried at that, her blubbering a bit at that. "That's not all, Tina... I saw it too... and believe it or not, your dad is still alive," I smiled at her, Tina's eyes going wide when I said that... though she still had her one lazy eye. "H-He's still frigging alive?! Whereishewhereishewhereishe?!" Tina asked like a crazy person, but a little more because she was excited about where he was. "Well, I don't know where he was, but he was one of the survivors of the train that Gaige, Maya, and I were on... but you may not like the second part... he's gone so far into insanity that he's become... a Psycho," I said to her, Tina looking a bit shocked to hear of this news, but her face turning into one of grit and seriousness. "I need to find him! He might recognize me! I need to!" Tina exclaimed. "Okay, then, looks like I'm going to be doing some digging around with Bloodwing once I drop these girls off at Sanctuary. Find a Psycho, right?" Mordecai asked.
"Not just any Psycho, Mordecai. He actually has a conscience that gives him directions when the body decides to listen. He is also much bigger than the average Psycho, has a very large Buzz Axe, has a restraint-type face mask on, and has large muscles. Find someone fitting that description and then ask them if they remember a person named Tiny Tina... be careful, however, because Krieg's insane part is usually the one in control. He won't listen to you if you're armed. You need to holster your gun when speaking to him, but also make sure to keep a shield handy... just in case he tries to attack," I explained. "Okay, I got it memorized. I'll begin searching while you go and do your gig... shame that you have to look like the biggest prick on Pandora, but good luck anyways," Mordecai smiled as Bloodwing then screeched in response and she flew the trio out of the hole and towards the direction of Sanctuary. "Okay... now to contact Angel..." I said with a frown.
