Chapter 22

"GAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Axton screamed as more and more electricity was pumped into his system. Kurt needed to activate his brain cells to try and overcome the infection, to fight off the virus.

"C'mon Axton..." Kurt gritted with his teeth while shocking Axton once again "You can do it!"

The rage still consumed Axton, no matter what Kurt did. The virus was able to figure out his deepest and darkest secrets and use those against him, to make him even angrier. All of his failures have all been combined to be used against Axton's own mind. Those memories he's managed to smother and learn to forget have all been coming back to him now. His family's death, being shot by his own brother to try and expose him for what he was is to name a few.

"C'MON AXTON!" Kurt yelled as he sent an enormous jolt of electricity into AXton's system.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!" He cried as that last wave of electricity slowly began to darken his vision, until silence and darkness surrounded him.


Axton woke up in total darkness. He was lying down in what appeared to be a glowing pool of blood. He could hear whispers in the back of his head, they became gradually louder and louder until he could make out the voices. The parasite was playing tricks on him.

'This is all your fault Axton!' One of the voices said

'Why did you leave us Daddy?' The other voice said.

Axton slowly stood up from the ground he was lying down on to himself of the total darkness he was shrouded in. He wasn't wearing his TITAN armor anymore, but his Hyperion executive suit. He looked around and remembered the echo that happened moments before.

"Nathan..?" He echoed through the seemingly endless dark place, only to get a reply back from a hellish, cybernetic-esque voice.

"Nathan's not here anymore, because you left him to die..." The AI snarled back at Axton.

Axton was greeted with an event that unfolded in front of him like it happened 5 minutes ago. He was in hallway walking down a flight of stairs to come across a woman who was very familiar to him.

"Samantha..." Axton said looking at the familiar woman walk up to him.

"Axton...I need to talk to you about something..." Samantha said walking up to her brother-in-law.

"Well, sure. What is it?" Axton replied smiling

"It's about Jack..." She explained looking to the left

"What about him?" Axton asked craning his neck slightly to the left

"Well, it's just that...Ever since that promotion...All he cared about is his job...I mean it's great that you two got it...but...he's changed Axton...I'm starting to get worried about him...Just can you keep an eye on him?" Samantha asked

"I will...You're right...he has changed," Axton said tilting his head down.

"Thanks Axton, I can trust you more than my own husband..." Samantha said walking away from him, Axton turned around to see Samantha walk away into the darkness. The room faded into black and Axton was left to relive another memory from his cruel past.


The buildings all came into place as he walked through the city of Helios as it crumbled before his very own feet. He was left to wander the city while hearing those familiar voices once again.

'A Siren...'

"A Siren...'

'Aggressive Expansion...'

'Misguided..'

Just as that happened, a nuclear explosion went off in the center of the town, instantly vaporizing all the men, women, and children who inhabited this city. Innocent lives of people who were just doing their mundane tasks. Whether it be going to their daily jobs to put food on the table, or taking their children to school, their lives would be completely altered with a push of a single button. The lives of over 90,000 people were on his older brother's hands. As he saw the people vaporized, he walked through the abyss of pain and suffering, he heard a faint voice from the background say to him,

"You think these peoples blood is on your brother's hands alone?" The AI said coldly "You were there...You could have stopped him, but you didn't...because you are a coward, and a man who hides in the shadows letting innocent people die... You failed to act...And that's why you shall truly linger in the past.."

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" Axton screamed while clenching his head

"I don't think so, you haven't suffered enough.." The AI explained letting off a laugh.


Mombusha...Axton could remember it crystal clear, except this time, he was wandering in a streaming river of blood. He heard the screams of thousands of people as they were gunned down by Jack's private military.

"I must admit though..." The AI said following Axton in his journey through Mombusha "You were resilient in this fight...Foolish...yet admirable..."

Axton was walking around the city, until he came across himself, stumbling around with a needle protruding from his chest. Holding a pistol in his right hand, and his left clutching the needle, in the vain attempts to ease the pain, but to no avail. He saw Mr. Blake knock Maya to the ground and about to shoot her in the face, but was interrupted by Axton's bullet travelling through his head, killing him instantly. Maya was allowed a window to escape from, and she did, leaving Axton to press onwards

"Ah...," The AI said "So this is the woman you saved? A Siren..."

Axton saw himself stumble to the ground as the pain from the needle was too unbearable. He then saw a group of Dahl soldiers storm up with their burst-fire assault rifles. They were too late, Hyperion got away. The scar that still remained on Axton's body was illuminating a faint red, that burned off his jacket and undershirt, leaving him to fumble about the illuminating wound in his chest. For some reason he was wearing his khaki pants and boots instead of the dress uniform.

"Your first wife correct?" The AI said "This is the first woman you loved..?"

The Mombusha city faded away into darkness, and Axton was left, once again, to mourn in the shadows of his failures. The AI wasn't done with him just yet...he still had some more memories to try and fuel his rage even more.


"Oh God no..." Axton said as the Heironymus planet unfolded before his very eyes. His house he could still recognize like it was yesterday when his family was killed by his brother. He looked at the walls of his house that was smeared in blood, with words that said 'Daddy' and 'Why?' He went up stairs to see his wife Sarah, was telling something to her son.

"Mommy loves you...So does Daddy...Stay strong Nathan..." She whispered while hugging Nathan. All Axton could do is watch her Ex-Wife hold his son in her arms. Then he heard footsteps in the hallway. The door slammed open and silhouette appeared from the darkness, walking up to reveal that it was Handsome Jack...with a gun in his left hand.

"Hello.." Jack said as he pulled the trigger.

"NOOOO!" Axton screamed as he saw his older brother gun down his Wife and child.

Handsome Jack smirked at the site of the two bodies that laid dead as he slowly eased his gun down and holstered it on his thigh. He took one glance and exited the room, leaving Axton to grieve over his massive loss once again with tears in his eyes. As he knelt beside the bodies of his family. Nathan began to lift his head and speak,

"Why did you leave Daddy?" He said looking at his father.

"No! I didn't have a choice!" Axton replied pleading to his son

"This is all your fault, you don't care for us enough.." Nathan said standing up with his mother following him.

"You are a coward Axton! And nothing more!" Sarah said mocking his husband with her hand on the boys shoulder.

"You left us to die Daddy...You don't love us enough..." Nathan mumbled.

The house faded away, and only the family was left in the darkness.

"Bye Daddy..." Nathan said as the two figures drenched in blood began to slowly fade away into darkness.

"NO! NOO!" Axton cried as his family faded away, leaving him on his knees in his own shame and guilt. He felt tears stream from his face as he hung his head down low.

"Don't leave me again.." He whimpered as he stared in the eternal blackness.

"Yes...They must," The AI said all around him "Your neglect for your families safety has brought they're death on your account. Where were you while your family was murdered? Many planets away, hiding, like a true coward...How can you learn to forgive and forget when you always try to smother them...You seemed to have no problem bedding that Siren..."

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Axton screamed as he covered his ears.

"That's it Axton...Let your rage eat you alive like a leper." The AI said "Has it ever occured to you, that this is all your fault?"

"That's not true!" A Female voice said in his mind. Axton could recognize it oh so well.

"...Angel?" Axton said looking around in the darkness

"Axton...You can't let the AI take over like this! This isn't your fault!" Angel explained

Axton continued to walk on through the darkness to hear voice once again. The AI was trying to make him give in to the control.

'You murdered my daughter who also happens to be your own Niece!' Jack voice echoed through his head

"It's alright Axton..." Angel said "Let me help you with that," She then said has some stairs began to appear in his vision, gleaming with a white brightness that made Axton avert his eyes for a bit.


He slowly made his way up the stairs that Angel provided, observing the construction of them, how did Angel get involved in this madness like this?"Here, you may need this.." Angel explained as she constructed a tomahawk in front of him, but this one was glimmering with light and had construction that resembled Eridian work. Axton made his way towards the weapon and picked it up. As he grasped it in his hands, markings developed on his right hand as it continuously travelled up his arms. The marking resembled the same ones Angel, Lilith and Maya had.

"What's happening to me..?" Axton wondered in terror as he looked at his arm.

"That weapon contains my life energy.." Angel said "It should help you out.."

"With what?" Axton asked looking around the room.

"Forgiveness." Angel finally stated "You have to forgive yourself for what you've done. You can't let the AI win over you Axton... You loved your family dearly, and what happened to them wasn't your fault. I know that you love Maya, but you can't have reminiscence of your failures!"

"So what?!" Axton yelled "Am I just supposed to Forget about them?! Forget they even existed?"

"No Axton!" Angel explained "You have to forgive yourself."

As soon as Angel said that, the two figures stepped out of the shadows to greet Axton. It was Sarah and Nathan once again. He slowly approached the two figures, and looked at them for a few seconds. He then quickly held them in a tight embrace, to try and calm his mind, to forgive.

"I'm so sorry.." Axton mumbled "I never should have left.."

"It's alright Daddy..." Nathan said looking at his father "We forgive you..."

He let them go for a moment to view their faces. Sarah walked up to Axton and lightly kissed him on the forehead. She then stepped away and said to him,

"It's alright honey...Move on with your life.." she whispered softly before both of them faded into the darkness.

"Axton, follow the light.." Angel said as a beam of light glistened through the eternal darkness of his mind. He did as Angel instructed while wielding the glimmering tomahawk. The markings on his body were glistening a light blue illumination, mimicking a Siren.

"Angel...Am I a.." Axton began to ask, only to be interrupted.

"Siren? No...There is no such things as Male Sirens...I'm just lending my power to you so you can overcome the AI..." Angel explained

Axton observed the markings on his arm once more before pressing on towards the light. Just as he was walking towards the beam, Jack came charging at him with a knife, then another Jack ran at, him, then another, and another.

"DIE!" Jack screamed as he charged at him with a knife.

Axton was quick to smite the Jack clones with tomahawk he was provided by Angel. One by one, the clones were cut down, hacked and slashed as Axton made his way towards the light. No matter how many clones stood in Axton's path, they were smited by Axton's strength. He kept on making his way towards the shimmering light.

"Hmmm...It seems that you resist the power that I can provide you.." The AI said "I have given you opportunities for you to be in complete power..It seems that I'll have to deal with you myself.." He then said as he took the form of Axton, although his eyes were replaced with glowing, crackling blood stained abyss that could stare into your soul, which in this case, it did. He was emitting a dark lightness and had ample amounts of blood trickling from every orifice of his body. The AI constructed a Tomahawk that was similar to Axton's, although this one had a dark glowing emission.

"Now Madness and Rage consumes you...FOREVER!" He yelled as he charged at Axton with his tomahawk, clashing with Axton's own.

"You can do it Axton! Don't give up now!" Angel said as he was fighting himself.

Many swipes and evades were made as they were locked in a fierce combat with themselves.

The AI tried to make a swipe up high, only to have Axton dodge to the left of him and hack him straight in his back. The AI yelled in pain as he released himself from the tomahawk that was lodged in his back. He stepped back to come face to face with Axton, who was in his battle stance, braced for the AI's next move, which in this case was a head-on attack. The AI roared as he charged at Axton with his tomahawk in the air, only to catch Axton's straight in the diaphragm, then after pulling it out, Axton lodged the axe in the jugular, repeating the process over and over until he sure the AI has been vanquished. As he released the AI from his grasp, leaving it to collapse on the floor with a heavy thud. Axton dropped his tomahawk on the ground as he saw the markings on his arm fade away. Axton has done the unthinkable, he killed an Artificial intelligence, something that Kurt was unable to do, and he had prosthetics to fight back against it. Axton truly felt proud of himself at that point in time.

"You did it Axton...Just like you always do.." Angel said as she appeared in front of Axton, with her markings glowing.

"Angel...but how?" Axton said looking at his niece in disbelief

"Long story...When I died, my spirit latched on to the closest relative that was in the room at that time..In this case...You." Angel explained

"So I guess you really are my 'Guardian Angel' then" Axton mused, prompting Angel to giggle at that remark.

"Yeah, guess so.." Angel replied.

Axton looked around the dark room that surrounded him and Angel, "So how do I get outta here?" He asked Angel.

"Leave it to me.." Angel replied as her hands began to glow once more. "Take care Axton...I'll be watching..." She said after executing a phase shift on Axton. His vision became blinded by a white light, then silence surrounded him once more.


Axton slowly opened his eyes to reveal he was in a faintly lit room with his hands strapped down on an operation table. He slowly turned his head to see Kurt was fumbling around with the controls to try and save Axton, which wasn't necessary at this point in time.

"Goddamnit..I need to stabilize the spectrometer meters so that he can keep his blood flow incr...What the fuck?" Kurt said as he noticed Axton was awake on the table, causing him to rush over to the table he was strapped down on. Kurt pulled out a small flashlight and held open Axton's eyeball as he checked his Iris color. Kurt noticed that it changed from a light orange, back to his regular eye color which was a hazelish-green. He put away the flashlight and looked at Axton again.

"What is your name?" Kurt asked looking at the Commando

"...Axton," He replied raspily

"Where are you now?" Kurt asked again, making sure that Axton's mind was in one piece,

"...Sanctuary.." He then said raspy once again between breaths, which cause Kurt to sigh and hang his head slightly. He brought it up to reveal a smirk on his face.

'You did it man...You did what I couldn't," Kurt said unbuckling the straps to let Axton's arms free.

"Which is?" Axton asked rubbing his wrists,

"Killing the AI..." Kurt said putting his hand on Axton's shoulder "Do you have any idea how lucky you are to be talking to me right now? The chances of you succeeding were 4%.." Kurt explained.

"Maya...Where's Maya?" Axton asked as he came into realization.

"She's right outside. She's hardly left your side since you were knocked out." Kurt explained pointing his thumb outside.

"How long was I out?" Axton asked still on the table,

"Bout 3 hours, give or take." Kurt said

"Jesus...Felt lot quicker.." Axton pondered remembering what he had to go through

"Well, I'll go get Her. She'll be glad to know you're safe," Kurt said walking out of the Clinic.

Axton could hear some female chatter, as well as some male chatter from outside of the clinic. He then heard a loud thud from the door as Maya came rushing in to greet Axton with a tight embrace. Axton was slightly surprised at first, but then eased up and returned the embrace while stroking her hair. He was lucky to be alive and in one piece.

"I thought I lost you..." Maya whimpered as she buried her head into his neck.

"It's okay Maya...I'm here now.." Axton whispered in her ear while stoking her baby-blue hair.

Zero walked in followed by Salvador and the rest of the Vault hunters to come see the man who fought a battle within his mind, and live to tell the tale.

"Jesus! You scared the dick off us Pendejo!" Salvador said crossing his arms.

"Man...You were out for like 3 hours..." Mordecai said looking at his watched.

"Good to know you're here/ A battle fought in the mind/ Is a vicious one," Zero poetically explained with a smiley emoticon on his face.

"Axton is a total BAMF!" Gaige exclaimed looking at the alive and well Commando.

"It's truly amazing that he's still talking to us now!" Kurt mused "But, it may have never happened, if I didn't...Damnit.." Kurt mumbled storming out of the room, realizing that Axton almost died because he couldn't keep his anger in check. His father was murdered by the Hyperion president, and he was left to run one of the biggest corporations in the world. Shortly after he stormed out, Gaige took one look at Axton and Maya, receiving a nod from the Siren and a smirk. She returned with a smirk and went to go catch up with Kurt.


Kurt was leaning against a wall, looking out to the horizon, it was about sunset and the night was closing in on them. Gaige walked up behind Kurt and stood beside him.

"Hey...What's up?" Gaige said rubbing her arm in the attempts to try and get an idle conversation going on between them.

"Thinking about things.." Kurt replied not looking back at Gaige.

"Yeah? Bout what?" She asked looking at him, seeing Kurt drop his head slightly and let out a sigh.

"Every decision I have ever made ends with death and misery..." Kurt said in a low tone "No matter what I do...Death and suffering always seems to find a way to get me."

"Hey That's not true!" Gaige objected to Kurt's statement "You just saved Axton's life!"

"Gaige, that could have been avoided if I didn't snap!" Kurt explained looking at the Mechromancer.

"Kurt...You father was killed, I think Axton understands" Gaige scoffed putting her flesh hand on his shoulder.

"That's besides the point.." Kurt explained "If I knew how to control my rage...This wouldn't have happened.. I can't do anything right Goddamnit.."

"You know that's a lie.." Gaige replied looking into his eyes.

"I just don't know anymore Gaige.." Kurt said "I can't discern right from wrong, or what emotions have to be conflicted with or a way to-"

"Kurt." Gaige said interrupting him.

"Yeah?" He replied looking at him weird.

"Stop talking." She stated before leaning herself towards Kurt to kiss him on the lips.

Just as any persons reaction, Kurt was completely stunned and blown away that Gaige was doing something like this. He then eased up and realized that his emotions couldn't be controlled for any longer that the needed to be, as he returned the kiss to the girl while leaving his eyes slightly open to still see the girl he was locking lips with. Is this what being in love was like? Kurt thought to himself as he continued to kiss her. He reckoned he has never felt a greater feeling like that before. He could've sworn he heard a couple of fireworks and explosions go off in his head as he continued to kiss her. He moved his arms around Gaige's waist pulling her in closer as they continued to lock lips. She was blushing more than if somebody took a red marker and smeared it all over her face, but she absolutely loved the way Kurt's lips felt on her own.

"Bout damn time..." Axton mused looking at the two as Maya helped the limp soldier make his way out of the clinic to view the young lovers, he then caught a glimpse of one of the TITAN soldier walk up to Kurt.

"Sir..." The TITAN Soldier said interrupting the kiss between the two.

'Fuckin' perfect Timing..' Kurt thought to himself while turning his attention to the soldier.

"You father's body is ready, sir..." The soldier said, causing Kurt to hang his head down a bit, and remember what he's lost.


The citizens of Sanctuary gathered around the front of the town to see the TITAN soldiers carry the deceased Albert Thatcher on a stretcher to towards the ship. Sir Hammerlock slowly removed his hat from his head and place it on his chest, as a symbol of respect towards the fallen. Moxxi was tearing up and sniffling a bit as she saw the lifeless body of Kurt's father being carried to the ship, even Marcus was guilty of tearing up slightly. The Vault Hunter's were gathered near the ship, Axton was holding Maya close while rubbing his arm, he didn't want to lose her again. Kurt slowly made his way towards the body of his father, he reached into his holster and pulled out the 1911 he was lugging around. As he placed it on his father's chest he said quietly to the body,

"What am I gonna do, Dad?" Kurt mumbled as he stood up to let the soldiers carry the body into the ship.

"Sir.." Royce said walking up to Kurt "You're now the leader of Thatcher industries...what are your orders?"

Kurt looked at the ground for a bit, then lifted his head up. "Go back to Eden-5, you're needed there, we can take it from here on out..Bury my father with dignity.." He explained to the soldier.

"Yes sir...and Kurt?" Royce said, causing Kurt to look at him again.

"Yes?" Kurt replied, leaving Royce to look around for a bit,

"Good luck Kurt...Show that bastard what-for.." Royce explained to his commanding officer.

"Thank you, Harry," Kurt said putting his cybernetic hand on Harold's shoulder.

The soldiers made their way back onto the giant ship. Power to the main thrusters was activated as the engines began to come back to life once more. The ship began to seemingly levitate, then finally sail off into the air, leaving Pandora and it's denizens there. Kurt turned his attention towards the Vault hunters, then looked at Axton specifically.

"Axton." Kurt said sternly "We have work to do.." Axton nodded as they made their way back to the headquarters, to prepare for the final assault on Jack...


Axton was checking the action of his rifle and barrel to make sure it was cleaned and ready for action tomorrow. Maya came into check on her love, she's become more vigilant and vicarious about him. She didn't want him to leave like that again.

"Axton.." She began softly

Axton spun around to come face to face with the Siren he loved, "Yes?" He replied looking at her bright hazel eyes.

"I just came to check on you that's all..." She said rubbing her arm.

"Well I'm alright as you can plainly see.." He replied putting his gun on the table. "Is there something else?"

"No...Nothing I guess.." Maya replied looking at the ground, causing Axton to look at her concerned.

"What is it Maya?" Axton asked walking up to her, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"It's just that.." Maya began "I just...I don't want to lose you again.."

"Maya," Axton replied sternly "I'm not leaving you."

"But...When you were infected...I thought you were going to-" She tried to say, only to be interrupted by a kiss from Axton.

"Maya. I. Am. Never. Leaving. You." He said between smacks.

"Promise?" She said looking into his green eyes,

"Promise." He answered pulling her in for a more prolonged kiss.

Maya has been needing this for so long, another night in heaven with the love of her life. The same could be said for Axton, who was just as eager as the Siren he was kissing. Axton began to kiss and gnaw a bit at Maya's neck, which drove her insane, she absolutely loved it when Axton kissed her in that spot. Like that last time, Axton was led to the bed by Maya as they continued to kiss onward.

Kurt and Gaige walked in the room to see the two lovers at work with each other, prompting Kurt to say to the Mechromancer,

"I think you should sleep upstairs tonight..." Kurt said looking away from Axton and Maya

"Ya think?" Gaige replied as he followed Kurt up the steps "Maybe we can get into some REAL kissing upstairs..."

"Looking forward to it," Kurt smirked as they both walked up the steps of the Headquarters.

Axton and Maya continued to lock lips and slowly remove each others garments. Axton's lips slowly trailed down her body as they came into contact with her breasts, which he suckled and caressed gently, sending Maya into a frenzy of moans and yelps of pure ecstasy and pleasure. She brought her hand onto his hair and ran her fingers through his own hair while he sucked her dry. He brought his head up once again to kiss the beautiful lips that belonged to the Siren. He wish that this night could've lasted forever. Maya began to trail her hands across his back, lightly scraping at the skin on it. She slowly unbuckled his pants while still locking lips with him and let them slide off naturally. She was pleased to see that he was hard as a rock from the viewpoint here, she couldn't get over how amazing that member felt inside of her body, how warm and inviting it truly was. Axton did the similar thing to Maya, as he unbuckled her khaki pants and pull them off gently to reveal her (wet) private part. Axton always heard a flute go off in his head whenever he saw that little pink thing. He reached his hand to where her organ was and began to rub his finger around the outside of it, causing her to moan, shiver, look him dead in the eye in ecstasy. He slowly slid a finger inside and began rubbing all around it, making her slightly whimper as she felt his finger inside of her. After about 2 minutes, he slid out his finger and got himself prepped for the big entry. He didn't dare take his eyes off the the Siren as he slowly slid himself inside of her. When she felt the first lapses of penetration, she bit her lip and moaned and was blushing more and more. When she felt Axton inside of her, he had already pulled slightly out to thrust once more into her system, sending a shiver in her spine along with a shriek of mixed pain and pleasure. He continued the thrust constantly inside of her as the two were enveloped in a kiss between themselves. He didn't want Maya to make too much noise, because the last time it was quite awkward with Salvador when he knew about the...episode. With each pounding heave as Axton continuously kept a stride of pleasure, Maya could feel herself coming close to climax. As the thrusting increased in tempo, she was moaning Axton's name more and more until she hit her climax. She let off a shriek that was like music to Axton's ears as he climaxed as well, shouting her name while he heaved insider of her. Their juices were mixed together as Axton collapsed on Maya, leaving them both pant and pant after their intercourse. Their sweaty bodies were sticking together as if it were glue. After a minute of relaxation, Axton rolled off of Maya and pulled her in close for an embrace.

"Do you love me?" Maya asked softly while smiling.

"More than life itself." Axton replied smirking at the girl he held close.

"I love you too.." Maya replied kissing his lips once more. Axton held the Siren close in his arms as she slowly drifted off into dreamland, where she was free to picture Axton in them, at least he hoped. Before shutting his eyes to join Maya in her slumber, he thought to himself.

'This is is Jack...I'm coming for you..'
