"No," Mordecai said. "Tell me what happened."
"Dahl wanted to market more elemental weapons, so they talked to Maliwan. Maliwan told Dahl everything they knew about the testing, and sent some... 'volunteers...' Maliwan had. Maliwan also sold them a few extra weapons," Axton explained. "Dahl lost control of the mutated people, and we had to fight them off. One of the two we lost went on to kill my best friend... the other one was never heard from again."
"Oh. Wow. I kinda feel like a jerk, now," Mordecai said, drinking more of his Rakk-Ale. He got up and left.
Meanwhile, in the Highlands, Raven was looking around, trying to find Maya. He saw a Phaselocked Rabid Stalker, and Raven began sprinting to Maya. He caught up to her as a bullet grazed by his head.
"NEVERMORE!" Raven yelled, scared, running behind a rock. He created a large barrier of snow around himself. He started throwing a snowball towards the direction of the bullet.
"Raven. Maya. Stay where you are," Raven heard the sniper yell in a very deep, robotic voice. Maya Phaselocked the sniper, but he easily got out.
"What the Hell?" Maya muttered to herself. She began shooting with her HellFire SMG, but the sniper seemed to dodge all the bullets. He then jumped down from the cliff he was on, and began running at Raven's shield.
Raven threw a snowball, but the sniper seemed to deflect it with his mind.
"What are you doing, Infinity? Just kill them!" Jack screamed into the sniper's headset. The sniper turned around, and shot into space.
"Infini...ty...?!" Jack said into Infinity's headset with the former's dying breath.
"I told you to stay where you were," Infinity said, turning back around.
"Who, uh... who are you?" Maya asked.
"Infinity," Infinity said. His suit began fading away into a new suit, all black, with glowing white slits where the eyes were. He had an infinity-shaped scar on his right arm revealed by multiple rips and tears. His skin was a pale blue, like he was extremely cold.
"Nevermore," Raven said.
"Why'd you help us?" Maya asked.
"I need your help," Infinity began. "I know things you need to know. You know things I need to know. I'll cut you a deal. But remember this: once I have what I need and you have what you need, stay out of my way, and I won't kill you."
"What do you need?" Maya got up and began walking to the Fast Travel station.
"I need information on a newly discovered resource known as Eridiux," Infinity began, walking to Maya. "All I know so far is it is extremely rare, rarer than those Pearlescent weapons you people rave on and on about. That, and it has an amazing regenerative properties, even in people that are not Sirens. In Sirens, the effects are unknown."
"I'll be your science experiment, if you want," Maya said thoughtlessly.
"You really don't want to be," Infinity said, following her into Sanctuary.
"Oh. Okay, then," Maya said.
"Now, I will be leaving. Oh, and I'll give you information regarding Zero. I'm not sure if he really is dead. I doubt he is, but, still, I'm sure you're curious what's underneath his Magma Armor," Infinity said. Before Maya could say anything back, Infinity was falling down off of Sanctuary. Oddly, he didn't respawn. In fact, Maya swore she saw a black figure walking through the Highlands in the distance.
Well, actually, not one, but two black figures. One of them with an orange glow to him.
