Chapter 47: Eden 6 and Meeting a Calypso

Y/N POV

Getting from Promethea to Eden 6 was easy. I remembered coming across a small facility, occupied by a few Maliwan holdouts. If my intel on the facility was correct, there was a Maliwan Command ship there I could steal.

I stormed the facility alone since this was a mission I didn't want Rhys or any other Atlas personnel to find out about. Not that I needed help mind you as the Maliwan remnants occupying the location weren't all that difficult and I plowed through them with ease.

Sure enough, there was a Maliwan Command Ship left all alone. It was easy to get aboard and commandeer the ship, leaving Promethea behind and set a course for Eden 6.

It took roughly about half an hour to reach my destination. However my ship actually crash landed into a swamp and became stuck. Fortunately I was unharmed by the experience and exited the ship without a scratch.

Once I was out of my ship I instantly Echoed Aurelia again, saying "I'm on Eden 6 now. Where do you want us to meet?" Aurelia responded "Come to the Jakobs Estate, I'm marking it's location on your Echo. Don't dilly dally now."

I signed off and looked around at my surroundings. I swear these places couldn't be more different from one another. Pandora was mostly desert with spots of snow, Elpis was just cold rock and lava, Promethea was one large city and Eden 6 was similar to some sort of tropical jungle or swamp.

With my destination marked as a waypoint, I began making my way to the Jakobs Estate. Along the way, I encountered numerous creatures of the Eden 6 wildlife. They weren't the problem though, instead it was the Bandits.

Now you're likely thinking that the Bandits were attacking me, when in truth what they were actually doing was more concerning. As soon as they saw me they started cheering and chanting "The God King's guest has arrived!"

To say I was confused at what was going one was an understatement. However from the sudden message from Aurelia, the ominous conditions she wanted to meet under and finally the Bandits cheering for me and letting me through. I was beginning to paint a picture of what was going on here. And I didn't know what to make of it.

Anyway, eventually I arrived at the Jakobs Estate and as I approached the old wooden door and knocked on it. Soon it opened, seemingly on it's own and I walked in. On the wall was a portrait of Aurelia so I knew she was being serious about owning the place.

I made my way through the estate until I arrived at another door which apparently lead into the dining room. Inside was a large table and sat at it, was the woman who invited me here and my closest friend for years despite not meeting in person for the majority of that time, Aurelia Hammerlock.

She looked up, having heard the door open and I saw a smile stretch across her face. Not even those usual condescending smirks you saw usually, but for once it was a friendly smile. She stood up and spoke "Ah, Y/N. It's so good to see you after all this time."

I returned her smile and said "Likewise." She then noticed my eyes and fingers but before she could ask I explained "You remember how after we killed the Sentinel I took his staff right? Well with it came a curse which turned me into what you see now."

I approached and she snapped her fingers, as if on cue a Bandit ran in before asking "Yes, Lady Hammerlock?" Aurelia spoke impatiently "Fetch me the finest wine from the cellar, and be snappy about it!"

The Bandit ran off before Aurelia turned to me "No sense why we shouldn't celebrate our reunion, it has been many years after all. Please sit." She gestured to the seat next to hers as I accepted. Soon the Bandit came back with two wine glasses and a bottle of red wine.

He poured it for us before leaving again. I chose this moment to ask Aurelia. "So, how exactly did you come to be the CEO of the Jakobs Corporation?" Aurelia took a sip from her wine glass before responding "I had some help from some new friends. Which is why I called you here. You can come in now!"

As she said the last part the door opened and I turned around to see a skinny man,  possibly my age if not a bit younger, he had a giant metal arm and wore a sleeveless coat with fur at the top. Aurelia then spoke up. "Y/N Knoxx, meet Troy Calypso."

The skinny man whom was supposedly THE Troy Calypso I had heard so much about, entered the room and sat down in front of me. He spoke in a very cocky and arrogant tone. "So this is Y/N Knoxx? Your friend you told us about? Nice."

At this moment I noticed something about Troy which caused my eyes to widen. "Your a Siren?!" I exclaimed in shock. Troy just smirked before saying "Well, kinda, yeah." Aurelia spoke up "As is his sister Tyreen. Their cult has been of great service to me."

Troy started laughing "Oh, oh. Have you told him about how sis killed the previous CEO?" I just responded by saying "Wait what?" Aurelia seemed somewhat nervous as to what I'd say but then I said "Wow! You took over a company by killing it's previous CEO. I'm impressed."

Now Troy added. "Well there is still the original CEO's son Wainwright out there." Aurelia finished "And that's why we called you here, we believe he may contact those Vault Thieves for help so we decided to bring in some support of our own."

I asked confused "Vault Thieves?" Troy responded "Yeah, it's what we call those Crimson Raiders who follow that Liarhawk." I actually chuckled at his 'Liarhawk' comment but Troy then said "And watch this. Seem familiar?"

He raised his hand as the wine bottle floated off the ground in a familiar blue bubble. I looked shocked as I said "Wait that's-" Troy finished "That blue haired Siren's power? Yep! I didn't just kill her, no no I stole her power for myself. Pretty cool right?"

I couldn't help but nod. True I was upset that he killed Maya, since I was beginning to forgive the Vault Hunters but I was still impressed. Troy stood up, saying "Now that we've got your help, in this I'll leave you two to it for the time being. I'll be back for that Vault Key Baroness." With that he walked out of the room.

I realized I never ACTUALLY agreed to their offer but I suppose it was too late to turn back now. And that was how I forfeited my redemption and sealed my fate for the future. Looking back, agreeing to help Troy was my biggest mistake of all of them.

Little did I know, the Calypsos knew about me long before Aurelia told them about me. And it was all because of my Eridian powers.
