Part 5

Previously

"Apologies, but when Claptrap speaks, I feel my brain cells committing suicide, one by one. I shall be out directly." After these doors opened and there goes Sir Hammerlock with his metal arm and leg. He marches a few steps and salutes for us. "A pleasure to meet you, Vault Hunters. I am Sir Hammerlock -- At your service."

Now

Hunter comes towards us and enters the code to open the gate. When that happens Axton comes forward the older man. Sir Hammerlock asks us to give him the robots eye. He connects some wires and then screws the eye on its place. The man then just hit Claptrap hard with a metal fist. "That should do it." We all hear that sentence leave our new friends mouth. Just like that electric shock goes through the robot and he is back on the wheel again.

"Ha-ha, I am ALIIIIVE!" Sayes very excited CL4P-TP. Old hunters reply is priceless. "Oh, dear. He's talking again." Robot ignores the comment as he is instructing us to go and meet the Crimson Raiders. He even offense Sir Hammerlock for his living place. Hunter says that this place has many things that can be useful to us in our journey.

When the generator is on so is fast travel station, the bounty board still didn't work. Alistair - yes Sir Hammerlock's name is Alistair- gives us some shields. Axton was the one speaking with Hunter. Of course, he took the mission to eliminate Bullymongs from the town.

Axton P.O.V

Sir Hammerlock gave us the mission to kill all Bullymongs in Liar's Berg. The robot told us abought missions in our ECHO devices. This was a great opportunity to test how we will work in groups. Most of the others were loading guns.

"Okay Vault Hunters" - I started with confidence "We have to kill Bullymongs in two locations so we will split. Psycho, Kid and new girl will go to the pond. Maya, Zero, Salvador and me till take care of those in the graveyard." The first group was not really happy with my names for them. Big guy tried to raise his ax but new girl stopped him. It was brave for her. I could not place my finger on who she was and what she was doing here with us. After they left my group went to kill monsters in the graveyard.

(Y/N) P.O.V.

As Axton split us up. He called Krieg a Psycho, Gaige was Kid to him and I was "new girl". I could see the other two were not liking it. Krieg raised his Buzz Axe to strike Axton. Thank God for my reflex. In time I put my both hands on Krieg's arm and shooked my head no. He just huffed and screamed something about "Poop Train". Then he just jumped down to the pond. I and Gaige did the same and jumped to help. It was a really exciting thing for me. After years in the lab, I finally had a chance to see how my prototypes worked in action. Bullymongs were throwing ice in us and tried to attack. Krieg was smashing them with an ax, mechromancer used Hyperion guns and I had my pistols. I was not as easy as one would think. Within 12 minutes we were done and come back to Hammerlock. As I looked at my teammates they both were covered in blood. I probably was not in better condition. It was itching me to get some sort of bath or shower. So I took some snow and melted it in my hands to wash my face. It was cold but better than monsters blood.

It took some waiting for others to finally join us. Claptrap tried to hold a conversation with Krieg. I must say it was pretty funny judging by man's crazy answers to the robot. At some point, both me and teenager didn't hold it and we laughed. It was so hard that Gaige hugged me to hide her face in my neck. I had a really hard time supporting her and myself. Faces of Hunter, Psycho and bot did nothing to make me stop. Then the unexpected happened. Krieg stood up as I was taking deep breaths and was wiping tears. He comes to me and pats my head. " I LIKE this part" was all he said and we just stood like that. Krieg with his hand on my head, Gaige trying to breathe normally still hugging me and me just looking at my teammate with big (e/c) eyes. Soon I felt as someone is petting my head. I put my hand on his to stop him. "Thank you Krieg" I said softly only for him to hear.

At that moment others come back. For me, it was a bit uncomfortable. Original Vault Hunters were looking directly at me. Zero had a question mark on his helmet. Faces of others showed that they wanted to know what happened that we were standing like that. Claptrap spoked before anyone had a chance to open their mouths.

"Oh, minions you are finally back. It's good that big dude is not conversation material. (Y/N) and Gaige started to laugh with no reason and he just went to pet her. Maybe one of you will be better."

Axton blinked few times and give back Sir Hammerlock completed a mission. All of us were happy and teenage finally let go of me.

"Thanks for holding me. It was too much for me."

"No problem. Next time just warn me." I repeated with a wink.
