Chapter 29

"Oh? Is that you girls again? Please, come aboard," Scarlett said with a smile as she let down the ladder and we all exited our skiffs and started to climb up it and onto her ship, some of the crew being shocked at my parents joining us on the ship, mostly because of their sheer height alone. "Whoa! Two more people from Gigantor are on my ship? Where'd they come from?" Scarlett asked in shock from up above us as I simply boarded the elevator with my friends to see her, noticing that Gaige was hard at work fixing some of the machines on the ship, such as the stove in the kitchen and their freezer. "Thanks, mate. Thought these things would never get fixed the whole way," the cook smirked.

Once we got up the elevator to be in Scarlett's presence, she looked a bit uneasy at my parents' presence, but let up on the animosity when I said they were my parents. "Oh, these are your parents by birth?... Gotta say, I didn't expect that people from Gigantor could get this big," Scarlett admitted. "Hah! The largest person on Gigantor is actually 20 feet tall, and that's the queen of the capital city," mom smirked, me amazed at this info, mostly because I didn't remember it. "Well, I'd say that's pretty damn tall... did you guys get the compass pieces?" Scarlett asked us. "Yes, here you go. Only one more piece to find and we'll be able to find the Vault," I smirked as I handed her the 2 pieces and she smiled.

"Okay, I don't know where the last piece is, but I do know someone who might. His name is Herbert and he's in the Rustyards. Take this gift box here," Scarlett said, pointing to a box that had a ribbon on it. "Whatever you do, don't open it and absolutely don't drop it on the ground. It's a bomb, and you should give it to Herbert after you get the compass piece. Only after that, give the bomb to him... you'll understand why I want him dead when you meet him," Scarlett said. "Better be a good reason," dad said as we then took the box and Maya decided to hold onto it herself.

"Okay, I'll try my best not to drop this, especially considering the cargo in question," Maya said. "I recommend you being in the gunner seat of the skiff then. I'll drive you," Lustab smiled. "In the meantime, I think that I'll ride with my parents in their skiff. I still have a lot of different tales to tell them of," I smiled. "Really? That'd be a fun time," mom smiled. After we then entered our skiffs again, us riding off towards the blip on our radar that Scarlett sent us. "Okay, so we need to go to the far northeast, huh?" I asked aloud as the sun only just now started to set on the horizon. "Looks like it," mom smiled as I noticed that my tattoos started to glow from the lesser light, which mom smiled at. "Those tattoos really do look beautiful in the darkness," Lustab smirked at me. "I concur," Maya smiled as she held onto the bomb box tightly.

"After we defeated Handsome Jack, we then learned that, once Lilith tried to destroy the Vault Key that woke up the Warrior, that it showed the locations of various different Vaults that appeared all over the Solar System, three of which were on Pandora. We then decided to go to the Cowardice Crater one first, but only because Mister Torgue opened a tournament there to determine who the ultimate badass was and who was worthy of claiming the prize in the Vault. During the whole thing, we got badmouthed by one guy in particular, a coward named Piston, who tried to frame us for running away after he gassed and kidnapped us. Then we got through the rankings by eliminating the other badasses in 4th through 2nd place until we fought Piston himself, who cheated once again by trying to fight me with a giant T-Rex monster truck. And since it was metal, you all know what a bright idea that was," I smirked. "Yeah, especially since your Siren powers are metal and earth based," dad smirked. "And what was in the Vault?" mom asked. "A lot of treasure and a strange creature that is called a Toombell. I named him Fluffy and he's not only incredibly adorable, he can also talk and is able to suck in tons of creatures into his mouth before being full... and he's only a foot tall!" I smirked.

"A Toombell? I've heard of them before... they were one of the first few creatures that inhabited this Solar System and they went extinct for eons for unexplained reasons," mom said. "Well, Fluffy was sealed inside the Vault that was in Cowardice Crater. And it also was only able to be opened by spilling the blood of the ultimate coward. In case you didn't know, Piston was that coward," I smiled. "Well, you know what they always say. Cheaters never win," mom smirked.

Our group then made it to the entrance to the Rustyards and had to depart from our skiffs and onto the ground to get into the area, us having to deal with some pirates that tried to attack us, but my skills in earth manipulation simply trapping them without harm. Didn't want to kill too many of them, after all. "Oi! Let us outta 'ere, ya bird!" one of them exclaimed at me. "If I did, you'd just try to kill me again, right? Trust me, it's easier that I let you live and try to escape on your own rather than me having to be forced to kill you in front of my parents," I frowned at him.

After that, we finally entered an area that had tons of junk around the place as well as a single shack that was at the top of a cliff and overlooking a large chasm. "Look for a very creepy and smelly shack. That's where you'll find Herbert... I hired him onto my crew a few months ago, but only because he was stupidly intelligent on Captain Blade's treasure. But I kicked him off last month because... well... you'll see for yourself," Scarlett frowned to us. "Understood," I smiled as I looked at my parents, Lustab, and Maya and smirked. "You wanna ride up there on an escalator made of rock and dirt?" I smiled. "That sounds awesome!" mom smiled. "I agree to that," Lustab smirked. "Me too," dad and Maya smirked.

I then pushed my hand into the ground and formed a large escalator out of rock and dirt for us to ride up all the way to Herbert's shack, which we then got another message from Scarlett. "Just knock on the door and be prepared for the worst stench of your life," she said. "I sure hope you're joking," I groaned as I knocked on the door, wondering what would come out. "Huh? Who's out there? Is that you, Scarlett?" said the voice of an old man as a figure emerged from the house... and Scarlett was right about him being horrid in terms of stench. The guy looked like he hadn't showered in ages, his shirt and pants were grimy and full of food and sweat stains, his hair was ragged and white, he had wrinkles all over his old body, he was incredibly lanky in his arms and legs, and his face... one of his eyes was glass and other than that, he looked like a creep!

"Aw, you're not Scarlett... but I can taste her scent on you. That must mean one thing. The compass piece, huh?" he asked with a smile when he said he tasted her scent on us, which made me a bit disgusted. "Um... question... mister Herbert... when was the last time you took a bath?.." I gagged as I almost felt my food come up from my stomach, me having to fork it back down before I vomited all over the old guy. "Eh, I'd say it's been about 5 months, give or take a few..." Herbert said. "But that doesn't matter! If Scarlett sent you here, then that means she wants the last piece of the compass... I'm sure if I gave it to her, she'd be overjoyed, but I need something more... ah! That's it! The tapes, the tapes! Get the tapes, bring them back to me, and once you give them and the compass piece to Scarlett, she'll have to take me back!" Herbert smiled like a crazy old man, me a bit uncomfortable with the request.

"Just... do as he says and get those tapes. Maybe if you listen to them, you'll understand why I want him dead," Scarlett said to me once we were out of earshot of the old, pungent man. "Ugh, I almost vomited from that horrid stench... never in my life have I smelled a person that stunk that horribly!" I groaned when I got to an area that I felt would have the tapes, that being the blip that appeared on my Echo that was provided by Herbert. It was inside of a large, overturned ship and I had an idea of how I could get to them easily. "Okay, time to force the tapes to come to me," I smiled as I manipulated the metal of the ship to extend upwards, me seeing the tapes right on top of the pillar I had created. I then formed a slide of sorts for the tapes to roll down to our position and pretty soon, we got all 4 of them in our possession, me immediately listening to them as we went the long way to the cabin instead of the other way.

"Scarlett, this is a Haiku poem I made for you... ahem... You have a nice butt. Your chest is very nice too. Your face is alright, too... GAH! 6 syllables! Dammit, it's all ruined now!" the first one said. And the second one was when we really got why Scarlett hated him. It was originally just a few snoring sounds until Herbert spoke. "This has been 'sounds of Scarlett sleeping', tape 48," he said, me amazed he would go that far. "Mm... huh? Is someone there?" Scarlett asked in the tape. "Oh crap," the recording said before it ended.

The third one wasn't anything too special, just him saying how he knew that Scarlett was the one, but the final one was horrid on the ears. "Okay, this is mix tape number 203, called, 'I like you a Lot, Scarlett',... OHHHH SCAAARRLLEEEETTT!~" he started to sing before I quickly turned it off before it could ruin my hearing anymore than it already did. "Ugh, did you find one of his songs just now? Ear diarrhea is what it is, blech... now do you see why I hate him?" Scarlett groaned, me not even noticing that she was on the horn for that thing. "I see why you don't like this guy now, Scarlett. He's a creep," I groaned. "Yeah," she groaned as well.

We then made it back to Herbert's shack and when he saw the tapes on our person, he looked pretty happy. "Once Scarlett has those tapes, she'll have to take me back! Oh, by the way, the compass piece is inside that treasure chest," Herbert smiled, me immediately trying to open it, but it being completely rusted shut. "Dammit... well, time to use my metal powers again," I smiled, Herbert getting confused. "Metal powers?" he asked as I placed my fingers on the sides of the box and force the rust to seep out from the sides, allowing me to open the lid and grab the compass piece, this one having the directions of West and Northwest. We had found every single compass piece!

"Whoo! That was a pretty damn cool power right there, girl," Herbert smiled. "Oh yeah, by the way, Scarlett wanted to give this to you," Maya said as she placed the bomb package on the front steps of his shack. "A gift from Scarlett? I knew it! I knew she'd come crawlin' back to me! Hoho!" Herbert smiled as he approached the box and immediately opened it, the explosion afterwards causing him to lose his legs and him to be in severe pain afterwards. "AAAHHH! M-MY LEGS! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!" he exclaimed in pain and anger afterwards. "She doesn't like you. What kind of a man thinks that watching a girl sleep is considered love? Newsflash bub, you're a stalker and a creep. No girl would want you if you recorded them sleeping and stuff," I groaned at him as I simply left him there. "D-DON'T LEAVE ME!... S-SCARLETT! !" he cried before he finally stopped moving, him having bled the rest of the way out.

"He's dead now, Scarlett. And we got the final compass piece. Now what do we do?" I asked. "You got the final piece? Oh joy! You must come back to the ship so I can put the pieces back together! After that, you need to take the compass to Magnys Lighthouse to find the secret area for the treasure! Once you do that, then we can go after the treasure together! All of us!" Scarlett smiled. "Sounds great! I wonder what this Vault will hide other than Blade's treasures... I bet it'll be something amazing," I smiled. "Well, meet me back in Wurmwater with the last compass piece so we can repair it back to its original shape," Scarlett smiled. "Okay, we'll do just that," I said back to her.
