Skab

"Puta, what is the point of keeping those Skags around? Just skin them and get on with it!" Salvador yells from across the hall.

"Because they're my family, and don't worry, I'll be gone for a week tomorrow. So STFU!" I yell back

"Go to hell Puta!" Salvador yells back. I walk out into the yard to see the pups playing play fighting, tumbling, rolling, and jumping around like dogs. It's a cute sight, and it helps me forget Salvador's comments. That is, until I feel a bullet hit my back and I see Kat aiming her sniper rifle at me.

"Skag boy! Spar, now!" She commands with a smirk

"Sure." I mumble softly.

"What?" She asks and glances to her side

"Yeah!" I say a little louder

"Speak up!" She calls keeping her attention to the side of her. I frown and start walking up to Kat. She's talking to Jackal and I immediately smell hormones. A caustic grin creeps across my face.

"Is that hormones I smell Kat?" I ask causing a huge blush to blare across her face while Jackal and I laugh.

"When we fight, I will beat you mercilessly Skag boy." she growls through gritted teeth.

"Have fun trying to get through my armor, card girl" I taunt stepping closer. We were almost close enough to kiss. I was a little tempted. I mean, she's extremely pretty and there are not that many women on Pandora. But out of the corner of my eye, I see jackal with a red face.

I easily read his emotions he was jealous. He's not the greatest at hiding emotions. I knew Kat better than him, so just to make him feel weird, I hatch a little plan.

"Kat, before we start" I pull her in and kiss her on the lips. To my surprise, she didn't pull away for a minute. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Jackal storm off. I pull away.

"Kat sorry, I owwww... fuck that hurt!" I yell as a huge slap meets my face.

"Never kiss me in front of anyone again!" She warns. I look behind me then around. I turn back to her with a grin.

"In front of anyone, so does that mean..." I trail off, grin intact, and start leaning in. She puts a hand to my face.

"Yea… No. Try harder. Now, let's begin" she says as she pulls out her savior rifle. I pull out the bladed slagga Michael gave me. I hear a whistle and look up to see Mordecai.

" 3..2..1.. Go!" Mordecai yells down at us. With that, Kat threw her card out and a wolf lizard appeared.

"Fine, let's play like that. Come on out guys!" I yell and both my skags go for her wolf lizard. "Now shall we dance?" I ask.

"Gladly" she replies. She tries shooting me but all the bullets just fly by.

"You gotta catch me if you wanna hit me." I taunt. I come up behind her as one of my skags distracts her. I hit her hard with the butt of my gun as she turned and fired. I smile and hit her again knocking her hard to the ground. That felt kind of abusive.
But, with that final blow, the arena closes and she stands back up.

"God damn, what shield do you have on?" She demands with a hand to her head. She probably thought she had the fight one when she had shot me as I was hitting her. I take off my order shield and put in her face

"See it? Look at it, loook at it." I say with a large Smile.

"Yeah, yeah. I see skag boy." Kat groans I look right into her electric blue eyes and her hair blows back from the burst of wind that came around. Damn.

"So Kat, I'm heading home for a week and I'm wondering, do you wanna come with me?" I ask. The main reason I asked Kat is because she's the only person that I'm really good friends with. Kat had a very surprised look on her face.

"I'm not sure, I mean..." She trails off at a loss for words.

"It's fine. I'm leaving tomorrow. So, if you decide to come, meet me at the arid badlands fast travel at ten." I say. She nods and I smile before walking away.

The next day, my alarm didn't go off leaving me in a rush.

"Oh come on! Its 9:30." I say as I quickly put on my jeans and a shirt on grab my bag and take off through the base. I whistle for my skags and they immediately run to my side.

"Hey sl..." brick starts saying but I rush past him.

"Not now beef wall" I yell.

"Hey!" He calls after me. 9:45 gotta run gotta run. I reach the fast travel almost slamming into it.

"Arid badlands, fast!" I command. I close my eyes as there is a huge blast of light. I open my eyes a few seconds later seeing that I'm in the Arid Badlands.

"What took you so long Skag boy?" a voice asks. I turn and see Kat leaning against a wall. She watches me twirling her card in her hand.

"Well, come on, let's go see my family." I say excitedly.

"Sure, what house is it?" Kat asks pushing herself off the wall.

"House? You're funny." I say.

"What?" She asks watching me with a confused face. I take off running towards Skag Gully not answering. "Wait up!' Kat calls chasing after me. She summons her dragon and is able to catch up.

"Cheater!" I tease and turn towards her only to run into a wall. "Ow! Who the fuck put this wall here!" I yell.

"Hey Skag boy, you ok? You look like you hit that wall pretty hard." Kat yells from a little ways away. I stand up angrily.

"Damn it Hyperion" I yell as loud as I can and punch a hole through the wall.

"Damn! You're stronger then you look." Kat says as she jumps off her dragon next to me.

"Come on. I swear, if Hyperion did something to this habitat." I mutter and stalk off inside the habitat. As soon as I walk in, my heart drops. The Skag that had raised me was being ripped apart by Minac.

"Skab lift up the echo" I hear Lilith say though her voice seems miles away. On instinct, I raised the echo. "Claptrap, didn't we kill Minac like, what is it, eight years ago

"I made more than one. I don't know why. I mean, that's the last one... probably." Claptrap mutters

"Great, just kill it." Lilith says with a sigh.

"No problem." I growl snapping out of my shock

Kat

A black aura like thing surrounded Skab and he looked pissed.

"KILL!" I hear him yell. I hear a loud noise behind me and turn to suddenly see there are 4 ultimate badass Skags, each with its own element. There's a fire, shock, corrosive, and slag one and they all seem pissed.

Claws come out of Skabs hands and he walks up to the minac. I turn away but can gear ear it fall dead immediately and get ripped to shreds.
"THIS IS WHAT YOU GET YOU GOD DAMN ROBOT! I'LL KILL YOU CLAPTRAP! I'LL RIP YOUR EYE OUT AND SHOVE IT WHERE THE SUN DOESN'T SHINE! YOU METALLIC PIECE OF SHIT! I'LL TEAR YOU LIMB FROM GOD DAMN FUCKING LIMB!" Skab yells at the top of his lungs. I step back watching him and gripping my card.

After his rant he finally calms down as a stillness comes over the place. The skags are still chewing on the metal. Skab walks over to a Skag's body and sits there crying, I take a small step forward.

"She raised me." He mumbles suddenly tears still flowing. "Most Skags just kill but she was different. She took care of me. She was my only family. I left 6 months ago to come back to civilization. I learned a little but I always came back twice a month. Never was there a wall. Jack, he started taking over the Skag's habitat, experimenting on them. Half of the Skags I knew." he mutters and starts sobbing again.
I watch him for a little not sure what to say. What can be said when your whole family has been taken from you. So I did the only think I could.

"Come on, let's go home Skab" I say and he slowly looks up. I grab his face and kiss him on the lips. "Now that's probably the last one you're gonna get. Make it last. I'll leave you so come back when you're ready." I say and walk off quickly leaving the habitat quicker than I had came.
