Chapter 21

Once we returned to Sanctuary and after Moxxi got back to work behind her bar, we asked Hammerlock a certain question regarding the new vault that had appeared in the Hunting Grounds on a different continent, which he immediately got interested by. "Ah! A new vault in the continent of Aegris, you say? And in the same hunting grounds that I go to on occasion? What say you daring dames come along with me for a hunting trip? We can hunt, camp out under the night skies, and find that vault all within a week!" Hammerlock smirked widely. "You are on," I smiled at him.

After we got the briefing from Hammerlock and after he gave me and my group the Fast Travel codes to Hunter's Grotto, we then decided which four of us Vault Hunters would go out to join the hunt for the vault. "Sadly, I am going to be buried in Hyperion paperwork, so I can't come along," Angie admitted. "Well, I just want to spend time with my daughter, so I don't know if we should go or not," Krieg said with a smile. "Aw, come on, daddy! I want to hunt all those exotic creatures too!" Tina frowned. "Hehe, okay, hon. We can go," Krieg smiled. "YAY!" Tina smirked. "I think that Fluffy and I will join you as well. I want to share more of our stories that me and my sister had together," Lilith smiled. "Hyaha! Hunting we go! Hunting we go!" Fluffy smiled cutely. "Then it's settled! It's Lilith, Krieg, Tina, Fluffy, and Terra all going out. I wish me and Maya could come along for the ride, but we're hoping to work alongside Angel with Hyperion. Maybe they can also eliminate my bounty as well," Gaige frowned. "And what was your bounty again?" I asked. "My bounty was for unauthorized technology creation and 'excessive adorableness'. It's bad enough that Jack made laws saying being a Siren was illegal, but then he puts out a warrant for my arrest at 820 BILLION dollars! That's the highest of any of us Vault Hunters! And all because I'm extremely cute?! UGH!" Gaige growled angrily as she then punched right through a washing machine with her metal arm, Tannis looking a bit amazed by her strength.

"Let's just get going," I said as I let Gaige to cool off and for my fellow companions to follow me into the Fast Travel station and to Sir Hammerlock's hunting grounds in Aegris. And upon arrival into the grotto, we saw that it was a totally different atmosphere than the continent that we had been on! The skies were dank and murky, as was the wet ground that we walked on. It looked like the grotto was more of a rain forest swamp, especially with all the bugs making noise around us. "This place looks pretty dreary, but also smells of adventure... and moss. I like moss smell," Tina smiled as she sniffed the air. "Oookay, guess you still have a bit of craziness in you," I admitted. "Well, not like a psycho. Not after what you did to help me out," Tina smiled. "Heh, yeah," I smiled nonchalantly as we moved through the area and we encountered our first glimpse at some of the creatures we'd be battling on this continent.

The first creature we saw was a giant, spherical animal that flew in the air with four large wings and also produced acids from its body. Another one we saw looked like a Stalker on steroids, with its face being much larger and its claws sharper and more hard than a Stalkers. And finally, the biggest of the creatures by far were these gigantic spider creatures that had legs that were taller than the trees! "What the heck? More spiders?" I smiled, wondering if I should send a picture of it to Angie just to freak her out... but then Tina took a photo of one and sent it to her instead, resulting in a scream that we swear we could hear on the other side of the planet! "Heh. I think you just scared her big time, Tina. She probably won't like that," I admitted to her. "Yeah, well, it's my way of saying we're even, y'know?" Tina smirked. "I see," Lilith smirked as Fluffy looked around at all the wild animals and his mouth salivated.

"Already ate... not hungry... just a taste, please?" Fluffy asked, looking at one of the giant spiders. "Sure, help yourself. Just a taste though," I smirked at him. Fluffy then smiled and started to suck in the giant spider creature from the legs up, managing to actually fit all of it in his tiny body and him looking to be in love with the taste. "MM... Nummy..." he smiled as he then spat the creature back out, the giant spider now covered in spit and looking to be confused more than anything else. We then got a message from Hammerlock as we came upon a small cave in the distance.

"Ah! You girls have finally arrived, I see! I'm inside the cave that you're at. Come along and we can make our way to the lodge," Hammerlock smirked into the Echo, all of us entering the cave and seeing him with a large smile. "Nice to see you ladies here. And I see you brought along your unique Fluffy friend," Hammerlock smirked. "Giant spider... delicious!" Fluffy smiled with a blush on his furry face. "Ah, you must mean the Wetland Drifters. They are impressive, aren't they? Nearly impossible to kill unless you shoot at the sores on their bodies. Big game for sure," Hammerlock smiled. We then followed him up and through another side of the cave and up some ladders, leading us towards a distant cottage that was high above the swamp grounds, which I understood, since the ground was unstable and nonstop wet.

We also saw another one of the strange giant spheres, this one filled with electricity instead of acid. "Ah, you've seen the Spores, have you? They are incredibly docile creatures, but when threatened, they attack with the element that they represent. There is actually one of each element, including Slag and Explosive... which is odd, considering that these buggers had Slag properties before the discovery of Eridium," Hammerlock explained. "Yeah, that is weird," I admitted.

But just as we were about to reach the shack, we got suddenly jumped by a whole slew of different people, all of them wearing masks and wielding not only guns, but also spears and axes! "SHIT! Get behind me, Hammerlock!" I exclaimed at him, the old guy not listening at all as he grabbed his own weapon and I saw that it was an Sniper Rifle that looked pretty ancient. "Elephant Gun, meet face," Hammerlock smirked as he shot one of the people through the face and I saw something awesome that happened afterwards. Upon the shot going through the first guy's face, it then immediately b-lined for another guy's face! After only a few seconds, all of the guys that appeared out of the lodge were killed!

"Whoa! Where'd you get those skills?" I asked in shock at Hammerlock's crazy ability. The ability to manipulate bullets! "Haha! Being an Animal Hunter and exotic wildlife surveyor for your entire adult life requires some skill with hardware. As you can tell, this elephant gun is a powerful Sniper Rifle in and of itself, but I have the ability to manipulate a bullet to go wherever I please if it connects through the brain of the thing I kill. I call it my Raisin Brain skill," Hammerlock smirked. "So why didn't you use that skill to help take out Hyperion?" Krieg asked. "Well, if it'd be that easy, then I would be doing it nonstop! But most Hyperion personnel have helmets and a majority of their army was robots. I don't think that a regular bullet could break through the metal hide of a Constructor or an RPG Loader," Hammerlock frowned. "Point taken," Krieg frowned as we then got into the lodge and we had to discard the corpses to keep the place from smelling.

And it was also at this time that we got a strange Echo contact talking to us. "I see you in my swamp, little moth. You think you can waltz on in here without an invitation and stop my plans, do you?" asked a voice I didn't recognize at all, but he sounded like he had a bit of an accent to him. "Uh... question. Who are you and what in the world are you talking about? We came here to hunt big game and try to find the Vault of Aegris. What's your deal?" I asked him, wondering how he'd react. "What? Really? I'm Professor Nakayama? Scourge of Hyperion? I-I poisoned the president of Atlas under Handsome Jack's orders!" the voice said, me wondering if he was really telling the truth.

"Um... Professor Nakayama? Aren't you the one that was in charge of robotics research and experimentation with DNA splicing? I heard you were one of the most prevalent members of Hyperion under my father's command... what are you doing in Aegris?" I heard Angel ask over her Echo, almost as if she heard it all the way back home. "Wait... who was that voice? Was that the Guardian Angel?" Nakayama asked. "Just Angel. I used to be the Guardian Angel, but that was when Jack, my father, forced me to charge the Vault Key with Eridium, which caused me to become reliant on it. Only by Terra, the Amnesiac Siren's help, was I able to escape that torment and end Jack once and for all," Angel explained, though her Echo was once again faulty. It was sideways again.

"Wait... Handsome Jack did that stuff? And you say you were the one that killed him in cold blood?" Nakayama asked. "Yes, I ended him... just the same way as he ended my mother, the original president of Hyperion, a loving family that was sold to Eridium Testing, and countless other innocent victims in his quest for power. In fact, I'm now the new president of Hyperion and am now forcing them to abolish all of their awful laws that they created," Angel explained. "Really? What laws would Handsome Jack, my hero, could possibly be awful?" Nakayama asked. "Well, to start with, being a Siren by blood is punishable by death. And a 12 year old girl that made a kickass robot? She has the highest bounty of any and all Vault Hunters for illegal robotics manufacturing as well as a crime that was even stupider than being a Siren: excessive adorableness. So that means that anyone that Jack found to be too cute to handle would be either arrested or killed on the spot!" Angel growled.

"Wow... I didn't know that Jack could make those laws... anything else you want to tell me?" Nakayama asked. "Just one more thing, Nakayama. If you hurt Terra or her friends once more while they try and have a fun hunting trip, consider your ass grass. I know for a fact that you were a Handsome Jack fanboy, and I know that you idolized him. If I find out that you did anything that may hurt my friends or Terra, my girlfriend, I will go over there myself and arrest you. Unlike my father, I'm not going to murder anyone that does crimes without a fair trial," Angel frowned at him. "Um... understood?..." Nakayama said with an unconvincing smile. "Listen, Nakayama, you're not going to be able to stand against all of our might. I have amazing power over technology and can morph the ground and metal to my bidding. Tiny Tina is an expert at explosives. Krieg is excellent at sniping. Lilith is the most powerful fire-based user in the world. And Fluffy has a very unique ability that you would not be able to deduce until it already happened to you," I explained to him. "Fluffy? What the heck is a Fluffy?" Nakayama asked.

I simply smirked and switched my Echo's camera to first-person view and looked at Fluffy, him smiling and giggled at seeing his reflection. "Fluffy, puffy, doorbell!" Fluffy smiled... but then Nakayama looked gobsmacked by seeing it. "Oh... my... god... t-that's... one of the ancient Toombell creatures! They were said to have gone extinct eons ago! They're not only adorable, but they have the ability to swallow up an entire person in one gulp! Where the hell did you get that amazing specimen?!" Nakayama asked in shock. "We found him in the Vault in the Badass Crater of Badassitude. Didn't you see the program?" I asked him. "What the heck? Is that a place that got renamed by Torgue?" Nakayama frowned. "Oh! Apologies. It used to be called Cowardice Crater before Torgue set up shop," Angel smirked. "Cowardice Crater? Oh, I think I've heard of that vault! It required a great hero to spill the blood of the ultimate coward, correct?" Nakayama asked. "Correct. I was that hero and a cheater named Piston was the coward," I explained. "I see... you sound very strong, Terra... may I ask what would happen if I already had done something that may be reprehensible?" he asked with a gulp.

"Depends on what you did," I frowned. "W-Well... I tried to make a clone of Handsome Jack... I lost the DNA samples in the grotto when my airship crashed... and the DNA samples are set to conjoin to whatever they were to touch... I can only imagine that, if anyone or anything were to get their hands on those DNA samples, they'd be mutated beyond all belief! I implore you to find these DNA samples and, if they have been found or eaten by anything, find the creatures that ate them and destroy them," Nakayama said with worry in his voice. "Well, that sounds pretty dangerous... but if it was accidental, we will forgive it, so long as you help us out in finding the Vault if we take care of these DNA samples," Lilith said. "O-Okay... well... I'll just stay here and try to get the savages to help you out," Nakayama said. "Okay, thanks," I frowned at him. "Y-Yeah..." Nakayama said with a sigh.
