Chapter 4 Max vs. Commander Stat Part 2 Life

A/N: So here it is part 2. This is the best I can get. Enjoy the story.

(Flashback)

"I joined Vault Hunter because I wanted to be stronger and powerful. I was weak when my friends told me I couldn't lift the table, get beaten up by gangs, being clumsy, gets in trouble what I didn't do, and lies of me to thinking that I'm part of a crime. I couldn't take it anymore I wanted to kill them, but one night a meteor strike into my house. I wanted to find out because I was curious I touch it then nothing happens. But one day I woke up to a surprise that when I check on my hands. Vault symbols were on it. I tried washing it, but it still stays. Then at school after 1st period gangs started to form around me blocking me from escaping. But now I feel like I can beat those guys. I clenched my fist and said. 'Bring it on'. The result all of the gangs were hit badly by me. They retreated and I told them. 'Yay that's right run away Payback for beating me up'.

But the payback is just the beginning. I started to lift the table saying to them. 'If you insulted me one more time I'll punch you so hard you will cry on the floor.' None of my friends came to talk to me. Not even the students around me or the teachers. Rumors spread around me. But one night the gangs around the other person had beaten him up. Also I saw thieves running away with money. And fire from a nearby building with people in it with no fire trucks. I have to act something. So I run the speed of light to rescue the people, take out thieves, and save the other person from beating him up. Now rumors have changed since I've save the people on a fire house, take out thieves, and save the person from bullies. Now I feel like I wanted to protect everyone including you. (Flashback end)


All I wanted was to protect this world from evil. And that's where Architect helps me to become better, make friends, and help others." He finished while Aya wrote down all the notes that Max said. "What the, you wrote done all the notes I just said."

"Yep wrote them all down just to give you a back story. But what interest me is that you want to protect people right. If you do then" Aya couldn't find a word then girlfriend.

"Then we should be together to fight him."

"What?" Aya blushed. "You mean together like now."

"Yes, aren't friends go together to fight the enemies." He said.

"Ya ya yay friends go together to fight the enemies." She said.

"Then why are we waiting for let's go."

"Wait whoa." She was being pulled when her hand is pulled by Max's hand. She blushed and thought. 'His hand is so warm, so comfortable, so this is the power of the vault inside him.' She then smiles.

Max was able to find Stat in the middle of the plaza.

"Hey tough guy, come look behind us now" Stat turn around to see Max.

"So you came right along aren't you? Well no time to hide anymore coward. It's time to end it." Stat said.

"Okay then, but this one is not going to be easy for you." Max said. He then actives his speed skill, but this one is quite different than the one he did. Instead of moving in circles or dodge them. He was completely blurred.

"Huh that skill of yours can dodge the power of this danmaku." He then fires his weapon to Max, but he dodges every single thing and stands there. "What the, how in the world you're not moving. You haven't move from your spot yet."

"That's because I won't go easy on you." Max said.

"But how, this danmaku weapon can't be dodging. How in the world were you able to dodge it?"

"Because I will not died or hit by any of the danmaku. Even if it isn't danmaku you still can't outsmart me with it." Max said as he moves slowly towards him.

"No that's impossible." He backs away and pulls the trigger, but his bullets didn't shoot as his ammo ran out. "I want to be invincible. I want the Vault to be ours. And we will save this whole entire planet."

"Oh really but what about Gensokyo you took Gensokyo on purpose are you." Max said.

"Yes it's true. We took some of the territory of Gensokyo because of the vault." Stat said.

"Why is the vault important to you?" Max asked.

"Because of his power, we want his power. We want his power to make us invincible to make Hyperion unstoppable. That's what we want."

"So you want it right."

"Yes we want it for our sake of it."

"But still you guys should leave the Vault alone. That monster is going to destroy Gensokyo. You should leave."

"No, we don't care about Gensokyo we care about the vault. The vault is our treasure we deserved it not you."

"Then we're Vault Hunters. We're going to destroy it, so leave us alone." Max blurred begins to fade away. He then backs out and turn around to leave him alone. But Stat pull his other weapon out, but unfortunately was grab in a flash.

"You should be careful on what you think." Aya said holding his gun. He then sees Max at high speed ready to punch him he keeps punching him and punching, until he gives a finally up punch blow killing him.

"Hyperion...will...not...die." Stats final words lead him to his death.

"I knew it that he's going to fired me." Max said.

The others: Zer0 and Claptrap were able to take a breath from themselves after fighting a bunch of loaders and engineers. "Well that takes care of them." Claptrap said. "Yeah I think that's all of them, so tired." Zer0 said.

Architect and Keine same one destroy every last Hyperion they saw. "Whelp that's all of them, and we did take care of the civilians." Architect said. "Yea I never had been to this situation before facing against robots with weapons on them." Keine said.

Reimu and Marisa were exhausted and tired. After all the badass loaders were destroyed including other loaders, surveyors, and soldiers. "Danmaku was easier Marisa, without them we had to fight them with our normal weapons." Reimu said. "That goes the same thing as me." Marisa said.

Back to Max and Aya Max destroy the anti-danmaku beacon with his Maliwan corrosive pistol so that Aya can fly. The rest of them came after the beacon was destroyed "Yo Max, how's it going mate." Architect said.

"Good." Max answered.

"That Commander is dead is it." Zer0 said.

"Yep he's dead."

"Well then now that's taking care of. We save the Human Village." Claptrap said.

"Well guys, thank you for saving my village." Keine said then bow down.

"No problem mate. You just need to clean up this mess first." Architect said.

"We will, we will take care of this place okay." Keine said and walk away. "Thanks for your help."

"So what now we save the Human Village from them. So what do we do now?" Claptrap said.

"Well mate there's one spot out there in your map. And it's that fast travel station." All 3 of them check on their map, and look on a fast travel station nearby. The fast travel they saw is nearby Keine's school.

"That's our way home. But the fast travel seems to be off." Architect said.

"No wonder we can't go to the Human Village. We have to activate the fast travel station first." Claptrap said. Architect went to activate the fast travel.

"There you go mate. So let's see here." Architect check to make sure Oasis is in it. "Oasis is on there."

"Finally I can come home; oh I need a new bandage anyways." Max said.

"Wait did you took your bandage out. Where did you do to it?" Architect said.

"Why is there a vault symbol on his hands?" Claptrap said.

"It's a long story, but I put it on Aya's wounds. Don't worry about it. This bandage heals the wounds faster. Max said.

"Did Aya get injured by what?" Architect said.

"She was beaten up by Hyperion soldiers. I save her and put bandage on her wounds."

"Interesting, A vault on your hand, I must know." Zer0 said.

"Well enough of the talking let's go home show we." Architect said.

"Yea and one more thing why is Aya hugging me" Max notice Aya hugging him.

"Your body is soft. It feels like I want to hug it so hard." Aya said while hugging him hard.

"Aya quit doing that, you're going to embarrass me, and it hurts." Max said. Aya still couldn't let go keeps hugging him. Until she notices that she almost squeezes him to death.

"Oh Max I'm sorry. It's just your soft." Aya said.

"Well my body is made of organs you know, not cotton grown in it. Well anyways we should get going."

"Okay so you click on Oasis, and now what." Reimu said. But in a minute Reimu was already fast travel from here to Oasis.

"Wow cool so that's how it works." Marisa said. She follows the same thing as Reimu and of course she fast travel to Oasis. The others did the same thing as well except for Max and Aya.

"Aya what's wrong you never heard of fast travel before." Max said.

"No it's not that it's just. Can you be my girlfriend for now?" Aya said.

"Um did you just say girlfriend."

"Yes Max I wanted to be your boyfriend, so that I wanted to married you." Aya said. Max thought 'Okay what have I gotten into now. Isn't it a bit weird when some girl automatically chooses me as a girlfriend? What this is parasite in my inner self.' "Anyways Aya we should get going." Then Max went into the fast travel leaving Aya behind.

"Hey Max wait." Aya follow Max to the fast travel, but Max comes back when he forgot something. He forgotten to pick up a weapon that Commander Stat was using. So he picks it up and notice Aya was just standing there waiting for something.

"Oh I'm sorry, I forgot about this, and I completely forgot about this one too." He then gives Aya a kiss in the lip. Aya was shock and couldn't move because he was actually kissing for real. He then let go of the kiss. "This is just for a promise to protect you okay." He then returns back to the fast travel. Aya blushing check on her lips to make sure that was Max's lips. She thought 'Did he really kiss me for becoming my boyfriend. Is this for real am I dreaming.' She then went to the fast travel station to follow the others.

A/N: Yea I don't know what I'm doing for the romance between Aya and Max. Next chapter I think is going to be a short one so ya looking forward for the next chapter.
