Crimson Lance Reborn (Borderlands x Male Crimson Lance Reader)

Chapter 37: The Leviathan

Y/N POV

My plan was beginning to come into place. The Vault Hunters had already assembled Captain Blade's compass together and with Scarlett's instruction, they had gone to the Magnys Lighthouse where the location of the treasure would finally be revealed to us.

Once that had been accomplished we had no further use for the Vault Hunters and Scarlett revealed her betrayal to them and sent her pirate crew after them to ambush the Vault Hunters at the lighthouse.

With them out of the way she turned to me "Now, the treasure awaits! Don't worry, I won't stab you in the back until AFTER we find the treasure room itself." I grinned to myself as I also intended to betray her when we reached the treasure room as well.

We also knew that the first place the Vault Hunters would come to with Scarlett revealing her betrayal and me revealing my involvement in the whole ordeal, would definitely be Scarlett's ship so we easily got on two skiffs.

Scarlett brought two of her pirates while I brought my Royal Guards as we went to the sight where Captain Blade's treasure was located. Once there Scarlett contacted the Vault Hunters and told them we had reached the spot pointed out by the lighthouse.

Suddenly however a giant creature emerged from the ground, we weren't even given chance to react as we were eaten alive by whatever this was. I didn't take me long to find that I was on some odd fleshy surface.

I looked up and saw Captain Scarlett wandering around she suddenly said "Oh great we're inside of the Leviathan. I tried to warn you this would happen." I looked at her accusingly "Me? Your the one who lead us out here."

I then noticed the corpses of my two Royal Guards on the ground near us as well as Scarlett's pirates. Scarlett asked "Oh, are they dead?" I looked at them before saying "Yes, seems that way. Anyway want to have a look around? Can't hurt to know our surroundings right?"

Captain Scarlett nodded as we wandered off around in what I assume was the Leviathan's internal organs. Repulsive if you ask me. But that's beside the point.

Anyway after wandering around inside of the Leviathan's insides we arrived at a clearing. We looked around for a moment until I jumped when I heard Scarlett suddenly exclaim "ROSCOE!" I looked at her confused until I saw what she was gesturing towards.

In this clearing was a Rakk Hive?! How the hell did that thing get down here?! Was the Leviathan that big that is could swallow an entire Rakk Hive whole?! For once I was left speechless and even somewhat scared at the concept of how big this thing was.

Captain Scarlett eagerly ran over to it before turning to me "Y/N. Come up here!" I noticed how childlike and excited she sounded as I asked "Are you sure it's safe on that thing?" Scarlett reassured me "It's fine, this is my pet Roscoe I told you about!"

I sighed and followed her, climbing onto the top of the Rakk Hive. And soon enough the Vault Hunters who I assumed were also swallowed by the Leviathan, entered the clearing. Scarlett instantly addressed them.

"So the bad news is the Leviathan swallowed us, the good news is it's taking us to the treasure room. But the BEST news is, do you remember my pet Roscoe? I found him!" Roscoe let out a loud roar as it attacked.

It was fun for a moment but just as I had come to expect, the Vault Hunters killed Roscoe and Captain Scarlett used some form of her own teleportation to escape. Unfortunately for her she dropped her pistol on the ground in the process which the Vault Hunters picked up.

I was about to teleport myself however suddenly me and the Vault Hunters were regurgitated and spat out onto a rocky cliff which I assume was close to where the treasure was located.

Before I could even consider going after the treasure however I heard a loud noise. I turned around and was met with the largest creature I had ever seem. All I could see of it was the very top part and even then it came across as an absolute giant, even surpassing both the Destroyer and the Empyrean Sentinel maybe even combined in height.

Upon seeing this monstrosity I instantly lost all interest in the treasure as I said my final goodbyes which the Vault Hunters heard via Echo. "Forget this! Some things are more important than treasure. I hate to seem like a coward but sometimes cowards are the ones who survive. Farewell Vault Hunters until we meet again!"

With that I pulled out my teleporter and fled the scene, unaware that the Vault Hunters actually killed the Leviathan shortly after I was gone. Luckily for me however there were no major Eridian artifacts for me there.
