"Hey Carl, why the hell are we out here?"

"Cause I'm looking for something."

"Well, why did I have to come?"

"You think I'm that stupid to come out here alone?"

"Besides you're the one with the gun so shut up and keep watch."

"What is it you're looking for?"

"I overheard Sledge talking about a gun stash..."

"Are you insane Jack, you think he wont find out that you stole from him!"

"He wont as long as you keep you mouth shut."

"Ha! I found it come look at this."

"Its just a rusty revolver, it doesn't even look like it would fire."

(loud screech)

"Shit what the hell was that?"

"I don't know, lets get out of here!"

"Wait I think I see it."

"Its just a damn bird."

"His name is Blood."

"Who the fuck are you?"

"You should pay more attention to your friend he doesn't look so good."

"Shit what did you do to Carl?"

"Lets just say him and my sword have met."

"I'll kill you...damn, where did he...ugh."

"Ha ha to slow, now die like your worthless friend."

"Well, look what we have here a revolver that shots grenades."

"Thank you boys pleasure doing business with you."

With my new prize in hand I made my way through the tents of the sleeping bandits. There wasn't much in the way of security, guess they thought no one would be crazy enough to walk into the bandit stronghold. To bad for them I lost my sanity long ago. I probably didn't have to kill them in their sleep but better them then some innocent bystander. As I got to the front of the mining rig I noticed a light coming from one of the windows on the third floor. I figured the top bandit would be on the top floor. I opened the big metal doors and whistled to Blood and he swooped into the darkness. I heard a few screams and then the lights turned on. Blood darted back out and flew to the top of the rig to scout for more bandits. I ran through the dimly lit hallways laughing at the suckers that died from Blood's talons. I started to see strange markings thats looked like a circle with an upside down v in it. Then I came to a hallway with a huge skull hanging over two doors that said ether, or. I pulled my rifle over my shoulder and slowly made my way into the room. It was a big open area with cracks in the floor with some kind of molten rock underneath. I got an unusual feeling and feet on edge. The light I had seen outside was turned off and there was a stillness in the air. Suddenly I heard a deep rumbling voice come from behind me as a towering man stepped out from the shadows wielding a massive hammer.

"He he he little man looks lost, Sledge show you way out."

"I hope you can fight better then you can talk."

"Lady said people come to take Sledge's rock, said to protect it."

"I don't care about your rock I'm here for your ugly ass."

"Ha ha little man funny, Sledge crush you with hammer."

As he raised his hammer I quickly put a few shots into his gut to bring him down but my bullets disintegrated in a flash of light where each of them hit. Stunned at what I had seen I was knocked across the room by his hammer. As I reached for my gun I got a sharp pain and noticed my arm was broken. I quickly pulled out the revolver I had looted and aimed. I pulled the trigger and could hear the sound of the firing pin hitting the shell, there was a slight delay then a massive explosion as the grenade left the barrel slamming into Sledge. He let out a cry of terror and I new I had hit him this time. I didn't wait for the smoke to clear and loaded another round into the chamber and went in for the kill. But as I aimed my next shot his hammer came flying out of the smoke and with no time to react I shot it mid-air. The pieces of searing shrapnel digging into my flesh.

"Damn..(cough)..was that your best shot, come on lets see what you've got!"

"Little man shouldn't be so proud."

"You just get rid of shield, Sledge don't need it, I'll crush you with my bare hands."

He screamed into the air and stepped forward to charge, but as he did the floor beneath him gave in to his massive weight. He held on to the floor with the last of his strength as the lower half of his body disappeared into the molten river flowing underneath. The stench of his melting flesh filled the air along with his cries of pain. I walked up to the hole and smashed one of his hands with my boot.

"Well, How does it feel to be slowly burned alive?"

"I think I'll take that shield of yours, could come in handy later on."

"Oh...I'll take that rock of your just for the trouble you put me through."

"Ugh...no not the rock...(cough)...I must protect it for C..."

"Shut up and burn in hell!"

I smashed my other boot into his face sending him down into his fiery grave. I could hear his flesh sizzle behind me as I walked to his throne. It was a chair equal to the size of it previous owner and was made out of human bone. There was a lever to the left of the chair which controlled some kind of pulley system. As I pulled it a silver metallic crate lowered from the ceiling onto the floor. I opened revealing a massive amount of cash along with a strange rock in the shape of a cone with blue markings on it.

"This must be the rock that meat head died for."

"Thats no ordinary rock."

"Fuck! I wish you wouldn't scare me like that!"

"This is a piece of the key that leads to the legendary vault."

"I don't give a shit about some vault, Im just here to make some cash and find someone."

"Wether you like it or not you are destined to open the vault and claim what's inside."

"Look just stay out of my head and leave me alone."

"Ha serves her right trying to tell me what to do."

Before I could recover from my wounds I had to run out of there as the old rusty beams holding the rig up were crumbling from my battle with Sledge. I had no choice but to jump out of the window where the lamp had been. Luckily I landed on some unused tents but as I tried to stand I suddenly felt dizzy and my vision went blurry. I called to Blood and sent him for help, as he faded into the horizon so did my consciousness and everything went black.
