"You're probably wondering how I made it out of the Vault of the Warrior without dying," Jack began. "Well, you know how the New-U stations sometimes say 'Do not worry, Hyperion customer! Death happens to all of us once in awhile. Except Handsome Jack!'"
"Of course I don't," Zero began in his creepy-whispery voice. "Assassins never die."
"Well, that maybe true, but neither do Handsome Jacks!" Jack continued. "I can't die because I was granted immortality. You're probably wondering by who. Well, I'll tell you, but if, and only if, in this form, you can single handedly destroy every single Seraph Guardian."
"Easy," Zero said without thought.
"You can't use Insta-Health vials, guns, ammo, anything except your bodies natural abilities. If you can kill them without getting hurt yourself, I'll give you back Project Ice," Jack explained. "But if you can't, then he will experience a pain so intense, he will die instantly."
"Nevermore!" Raven said.
"I could kill you right now," Zero thought, "And it would be so easy. Your immortal until your head is cut-off. Everyone knows that."
"But I can't be be-headed," Jack said, very calm. "But I want you to try. Of course, I'll fight back. And just to make it more fun for me..." Jack pressed a button near Raven's observation area. Zero watched as Raven fell to the ground, in-pain.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha!" Jack laughed maniacally. "I'm going to have so much fun killing you and the other Vault Hunters, too."
"No," Zero said, leaping through the air towards Jack. He swung his arm like a blade toward Jack's neck, but his arm simply stopped. Jack was left with a slightly bloody neck. There was also a bit of burned flesh around the cut, but nothing more.
"Is that all you've got? Come on, what're you, the guy who rushed me with a spoon?!" Jack yelled. Zero allowed his whole body to catch fire, and he drove his arm right into Jack's stomach. Zero felt his arm come out the other side of Jack's body, and pulled back.
Jack fell, a mess of blood-and-guts on the floor.
"In the words of Brick, the Slab King," Zero began, "That... was... awesome!"
"Not... good... enough..." Jack said, coughing up blood, trying hard to simply stand-up. Zero took aim at Jack's neck once again, and drove into it, Jack's head coming off. A huge mess of blood was on the floor.
"You haven't seen the last of me..." Jack said, with his dying breath. "Now, goodbye forever... but not really." Jack closed his eyes, and Zero hoped it was for the last time. Zero lit his arm on fire, but quickly decided that that might be a bad idea, considering the fact that he didn't know what was inside the room.
Zero simply stabbed his hand through the glass containing Raven, and Raven jumped out. He followed Zero out of the tube, where everyone continued to cower even more, assuming they couldn't find a place to hide.
"Raven, we need to get back to Sanctuary. I'm Zero. Even if you don't believe me right now, you have to listen to me. When we leave this tube, we need to run. As fast as possible. There's a Fast Travel station in the Highlands. Just, make sure you wait for me at the end of the bridge if you get there first," Zero explained. "And if I don't make it, you need to find a Fast Travel station and use it!"
"Nevermore," Raven said. The two reached the top of the Maliwan facility, and jumped out of the tube. They started running, when hundreds of Constructors, Loaders, Engineers, and Surveyors started dropping in. Then, a huge ship flew down, even larger than the Bunker. It released what looked like Saturn, combined with BNK-3R, Wilhelm, and various parts of The Warrior.
"Well, I guess if you're going to try and kill someone, you might as well do it right," Zero thought, seeing the monster drop down from the sky.
"Run! Raven, go!" Zero yelled. Raven began running away from the city, and started to dash on small ice-paths. He finally made it to the end of the bridge.
Meanwhile, Zero was fighting off the Hyperion troops.
"Zero," Jack's voice rang-in through Zero's ECHO device, sounding like his head hadn't been cut-off a few minutes ago. "How's it going? Hey, do you like my new bot? I call him the D357-RY3R-2. But you can call him The Destroyer 2." Zero began fighting off more Hyperion engineers and loaders, while some Surveyors began powering up The Destroyer 2.
Zero jumped up to one of the surveyors, but couldn't penetrate its shield. So, he went back to fighting off Robots and Humans. Zero leapt at the largest constructor, and let his arm go through its eye. The Constructor fell apart, and Zero took aim at the next one. He leapt at it, but he missed. The Constructor had jumped and landed on Zero.
Zero lifted the Constructor, and threw it at a group of Loaders. The loaders exploded, and caused a chain reaction, which killed off most of the Loaders and Engineers. Zero threw fireballs at the remaining Loaders, and decapitated the final Engineer.
All the Surveyors were now flying away as fast as they could, because The Destroyer 2 was now online.
"Prepare for total destruction of your physical being," The Destroyer 2 said in a voice that was deep and robotic. "Executing !" Zero leapt at The Destroyer 2, while The Destroyer 2 began throwing rockets, breathing fire, shooting Slag, building Surveyors, throwing suicide Surveyors, and absolutely destroying the bridge that Zero and it were on. Zero started throwing fireballs at it, and tried to break through the metal and skin of The Destroyer 2. Nothing worked. The Destroyer 2 was more powerful than all the Seraph Guardians put together.
Zero realized the bot's weakness. If the bot was a robot, then it would short-circuit in the water. Zero began jumping around the bridge so The Destroyer 2 would have to sink with the bridge. The Destroyer 2 noticed what Zero was trying to do, and stopped shooting rockets. It aimed around Zero, and began shooting suicide Surveyors. Zero was now standing on a very small platform suspended above a lot of water.
Zero tried to fly over to The Destroyer 2, but didn't have the energy. The Destroyer 2 fired a rocket at Zero, and Zero's platform was completely obliterated. Zero fell into the water, his fiery body making him pass-out.
The Destroyer 2 activated some jets inside its feet and flew away from Opportunity City. The Destroyer 2 arrived at Raven after mere seconds.
" complete. Jack, Project Magma, a. k. a. Zero is dead. Awaiting further command," The Destroyer 2 said.
"Kill Project Ice, a. k. a. Raven," Jack said to it. Raven heard The Destroyer 2 report that Zero was dead, and created a cylinder of ice around himself. He felt a rage burn inside of him, and felt his suit changing. It became more of an armor than a means to life. Raven felt his own body change. His veins began to make their way towards the exterior of his body. He could feel his helmet breaking, and it did. What was on the other side was nothing but a face. Without a mouth, nose, ears, hair, but with eyes. His right eye glowed red while his left eye glowed white. Raven's skin-color was a pale blue. Raven then broke out of his ice-cylinder, revealing his form to The Destructor 2.
"Uh," Jack began into The Destructor 2's microphone, "Make that Super Raven."
Author's Note: Is Zero really dead? Is Raven powerful enough to destroy The Destroyer 2? Is this really just a dream sequence? Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z- I mean, find out next time, on Frozen Brother Z! Er, just Frozen Brother.
