Hey guys. I'm sorry its taken so long to get another chapter up. I've been promising some of you it would be up a ways back, but it just hasn't fit with my work schedule, but here it is the long awaited chapter 15. Ill hopefully have chapter 16 done and ready within the next week or so. I hope you enjoy and any support would be greatly appreciated.

-Chapter Fifteen-
"Well this is an inconvenience"
"What is it Gaige?"
"According to my map there is a split in the glacier soon"
"So?"
"We have to choose which way we should go"
"Let me take a look at the map, let's see which way is faster. Shit"
"What's wrong Zero?"
"Krieg come take a look at this"
"What's wrong Tin-man?"
"This"
Zero points at the two different paths ahead of them on the map
"I see"
"See what? What's going on?"
"DEATH COLUMNS"
"Death what?"
"The death columns, both are extremely dangerous, one known as the bandit's gauntlet and the other is the bullymong hive."
"So what do we do?"
"We pick one and pray we don't get seen going down either. Krieg what do you think"
"YOU ALREADY KNOW WHICH ONE WERE GOING TO TAKE SO WHY ASK"
"Wait you already know?"
"Yes. I was somewhat aware that we would come to this and well the bullymong hive is easier to sneak through and well they are easier to kill usually"
"Usually…"
"Let's just say some don't go down, me and Krieg ran into one that just wouldn't die"
"Ok then what are we waiting for. Let's get to it."
"Gaige"
"Yes?"
"If needed we might need your robot to well be a distraction"
"Wait what? NO! Death trap is an equal member of this team"
"A member that can be rebuilt and can fly away once said distraction is done. I didn't say it will happen. I'm just saying be ready. I'm not dying in there"
"Ok"
"LAST CHANCE TO CHANGE YOUR MIND!"
"I'm not going to Krieg. We won't stand a chance if we get caught in the gauntlet"
"FINE! LET'S GO THEN! ONE HOUR TILL WE REACH THE HIVE!"
"How long will it take to get through the hive Zero?"
"If we ran through we could get through it in twenty minutes, but we would be ran down within the first five so while sneaking it could take 2-3 hours if we're lucky, but most likely more."
"What happens if we don't make it?"
"We die"
"Well then is there anything you want to do before we risk our lives going through there"
"Not that I can think of"
"Nothing at all?"
Gaige gets close to Zero and looks up at him.
"Nope"
"HAHAHA!"
"What you laughing at Krieg?"
"You"
"Me? Why me?"
"Because you try too hard and besides Zero is too busy thinking of the best way to get through the hive. He's been through it at least seven times now, once with me. We will be fine but it throws him on edge since last time we went though we got caught by massive bullymong and if it wasn't for Zero knowledge of the paths through the hive and taking tunnels too small for it we would be dead"
"That doesn't mean he has to ignore me"
"He's not ignoring you"
"Yes he is"
"He's answering your questions, if he was ignoring you completely he would just have his mask answer for him"
"It does that?"
"Yep"
"Don't tell her all my secrets Krieg"
"PFFT! I know just as much about you as she does. I've just had more time to observe you"
"That could be taken as creepy"
"And two guys wandering the wilderness alone isn't creepy"
"Fair enough"
"Guys what's that?"
"That would be the entrance to the hive"
