Borderlands: An unknown visitor

Pandora, the land of the civilized and order, organized by our own Hyperion corporation. What a load of shit that turned out. Seem's as though the president of the industry, Handsome Jack, turned it to a hell hole when he discovered of the new revealed vault. Since the opening of the last one with the quadruplet of vault hunters, turned out to be an imprisonment of a giant alien called The Destroyer. None the less, Jack wanted to be first to open the ancient portal and its riches. But there's others who wish to be the firsts and put a stop to Jack's rain once and for all. The now new line of vault hunters. By the names of Axton, Maya, Salvador, and Zer0. But since Jack found out about their presence, he placed a bomb aboard their train ride to the deselect wasteland, costing them their lives. Except a lone claptrap unit found one conscious in the freezing tundra's of the aftermath, and gave them the opportunity to leave the place and to Sanctuary. But of course they had to get rid of some troubles along the way, including clan leader Caption Flynt. Then they set sailed to Three Horns to start the journey.

Another train passed by the wreckage of that of another bandit car, first totaling it in its way. The automatic speaker came aloud to the passengers on board.

"we are nearing our stop at Pandora's train station, please take all your precious belongings before descending off the train. Note Hyperion does not insure stolen, lost, or looted items before entering Pandora. Have a wonderful day!"

The isle's of the train were empty as the stomach of one lil' baby Skag. All but one seat. There lied a man in army camouflage pants, black armored chest plate, a mask covering his face with nothing shown but a white eye hole, and a somewhat tattoo of a U, shown on his bare shoulder. Also, carrying what looks like a large weapon blade strapped to his back, with the addition of a small pistol, and hunting knife. The man looked outside his window to the passing layers of the sandy desert, filled with bandits after bandits, man eating Skags, Rakks, the worst. It didn't matter to him, since he's seen much worse at home then this planet. That he wishes never to mention, over some troubles, and some issues along the way. The train then slid to a screeching stop as the announcer then said aloud in the speaker once more.

"And welcome, to the wonderful life of Pandora! Have yourself a fantastic after life under the ruling of our own, Handsome Jack"

The man brought a satchel over his shoulder and made way to the platform of the station. What's shown is just an ordinary, abandoned warehouse, with nothing but corpses hanging from the openings. Probably raided by bandits again, who would've known? The train then took its toll and vanished in an instant to the next stop nearby. The man watched it go as he looked around the wasteland for his next destination. Apparently all he found was piles of sand, and nothing more. Now he know that this wasn't gonna go down so normally then he'd thought. Not with Jack in charge at least.

"so, that was fun" a siren by the name of Lilith spoke. As she, a hunter named Mordecai, the slab king Brick, and a professional explosive's carrier by the name of Tina, just played her game of Dragon's keep. Ending with them saving the princess, Buttsalion.

"yeah, actually, thought it was..okay" shrugged the hunter, while lying back on his stool.

"I liked the part when we killed the sorcerer, and saved the pretty princess" Brick added, with a chuckle coming from the small girl.

"I'm glad that ya guys did, just wait until next game, where this time you have to ride princess Buttstalien across the universe!"

"well see how that goes Tina" responded the siren.

Just then, another siren with blue markings over her arms, and wearing a yellow body armor, walked in with some news. Then revealed to be Maya. Apart from her and Lilith being the only sirens left alive, since Angel was killed to retrieve the vault key from Jack, but that ended up in disaster.

"hey guys, the Hyperion solider just coughed up some codes for a moon base. Anyone wanna go blow it up?"

"HELL YES I DO!" shouted Tina, as she leaped off her seat and dashed around the siren. The others got up in tow.

"there any Fast travels strong enough to bring us there?" Lilith asked. Maya shrugged "dunno, all the guy said was the code and passed out"

"let me take a crack at him, I'l make him tell us where it is" Brick said cracking his enormous knuckles.

"if we let you at him for a second he'd be already dead from your sight" Mordecai responded with a chuckle. The ex-slab king rolled his eyes before nudging his childhood friend.

"hey, better to seek it then go for it huh?" Maya asked with a smirk, reflected by the other siren. Then a small robot rolled into the room alerting the others of his presence. In tow with the other vault hunters, Axton, Salvador, Zer0, and Krieg.

"what's going on?" Lilith asked.

"Hyperion just send us an army of GUN loaders outside of the vault!" Claptrap said aloud.

"but why would they search there? The vault's s'been already opened and the Warriors dead!" Mordecai exclaimed.

The commando shrugged "Jack had a final wish before getting killed, and that was to collect more eridum shards left over to have them make another search"

"even when he's dead he wont give up" Brick groaned, as he and the others saw the monitors of the vault being raided by the bots. They collected the light glowing purple bricks from the ground, around their ex-president's corpse.

"come on, we can make it before-" Lilith spoke before being cut off when the sound of pistol fires then exploded a loader.

Everyone watched as another blew up, with a clean slice through its lower half. A bit similar to Zer0's kitana blade.

"what was that?" Claptrap asked.

"looks like someone already beat us there, and taking care of the loaders" Axton stated from the now growing piles of the robots.

"THE SHINY BOTS EXPLODED IN BLOODY AGONY!" Krieg shouted.

Mordecai then saw shots coming from the Hyperion moon base through another camera, "well who ever it is better make themselves snappy, cause there's badasses coming"

With that they crashed towards the ground and got up, armed and aimed at the unknown attacker.

"drop your weapons and surrender, Hyperion wishes to-" The bot couldn't finish its statement, as white smoke escaped its openings, suddenly tearing it apart. The others were surprised at seeing its defeat, not even seeing the attack coming.

"stop! No! Die-" Yet another badass got itself sliced to bits. The pile of thin metal grew with every swing of the large blade at the Hyperion drones.

"damn, this person is tearing them apart!" Brick said, slightly impressed by the total bots killed. Lilith shared the expression.

"can't we get a closer look who it is?" Maya asked the stwert bot aside the control panel. With a nod, Claptrap mainly activated camera #4, which showed the unknown warrior and the army of loaders walking towards him. It showed the same traveler that departed the last train stop, but no one saw him around the time. Or even knew.

He backed up to the edge of the stone platform, above molten lava. The loaders aimed their guns at him, ready. But yet again, they were turned to scrap when the warrior sliced them with his medium sized weapon in the form of smoke? Its questioning yes, but impressive to watch him move quickly.

"who is he? Never seen him before?" Lilith asked, eyeing him against another badass loader.

"got me" Mordecai shrugged.

"who ever he is, he's considered a new addition to the slabs! After passing the test of course" Brick exclaimed with crossed arms.

"but how can we trust him?" Axton spoke up, turning around to them "he could be a secret assassin paid by Hyperion to take us out?"

"looks like Zer0's got some competition, eh?" Salvador said with a smirk, patting the assassins back.

Zer0 examined the unknown traveler closely with his visor. Not getting much, but a somewhat reflection of some sort? On a 5% scale of course.

"this stranger is quick/killing the loaders one by one at quick speed/should we worry about this?"

"I don't think that would be necessary" Lilith responded "we can use him as an addition to the vault hunters, and help us take care of Hyperion often. Besides, he looks normal as the rest of us" Everyone looked at one another in question "sort of.."

"still in thought/we should prepare ourselves/his smoke trails may come for us"

"easy there slim" Axton reassured "I think I speak for all of us if we make a sort of, test, to see if he's good enough. And, make sure he's not working for Hyperion, then we put a bullet in his head" everyone nodded as the warrior finished the last of a GUN loader.

Noticing a slight change to the scenery, Salvador looked around the room in search for a certain vault hunter missing.

"anyone seen Gaige?"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The mecromancer was sprinting towards the entrance of the vault, in response to Hyperion's activity there. Upon reaching the ledge she saw only bits, and scraps of every destroyed loader lying dead on the ground. Her brows were raised in confusion, 'how they can be destroyed already when I just got the message?'. Walking through the carnage she then spotted something dismantling the robot parts and tossing them into the lava. With a smirk gracing her lips she pulled her shock SMG from her holster, ready to take him out.

"say bye bye Hyper-" Gaige was cut when her weapon was knocked out of her hands suddenly. And the culprit was a thrown throwing knife. "what the hell?.." she looked to the man, thinking it was a Hyperion worker, but possibly a bandit? Well whoever it was walks in sight of the mecromancer, one hand on a Dahl pistol, and the other gripping the handle of his blade-like weapon. He appears to be the stranger who arrived at the previous train stop, just taking care of business, like any other bandit. Well, used to, which explains why he hasn't aimed the knife at the vault hunter correctly.

Taking the opportunity to collect herself, Gaige took out a shotgun and aimed it at the strangers head. But once again, it was knocked out of her hands. Except at the fire of the man's pistol. Gaige grunted in frustration, "stop that!"

The stranger just stood there and watched the mecromancer with his one, pale colored eye. It freaked Gaige out how he just stares at her. Cold and silent.

"quit staring at me like that!" she shouted at him. But he still stayed quit. This made Gaige's urge to murder him rise, "say something why don't ya?!" And yet again, no next sudden movement for the bandit. The mechromancer had enough and was about to shout at the stranger, but realized that something that now brought a small smirk to her features. Her Deathtrap wasn't summoned for about 5 minutes before re-digistructed back within her grasp. She can quickly summon him in order to kill the marauder.

"alright, enough's enough!" She brought her mechanized arm up and instantly summoned her Deathtrap "rip him to shre-" The bandit took action after Deathtrap appeared, and made a clean cut through his torso with his large weapon. The robot stood in the air for a second or two before exploding to bits. Pieces scattered around, with some dipped in the lava. Gaige couldn't process what happened, but just stand in the same position. Her own robotic, indestructible, death machine was..destroyed...by,...by a bandit.

'DT...,...is..-is...dead...All.., by...a bandit' Gaige thought, still frozen 'how...h-how?...' Her eye twitched in fury, continuing to see her creation fall to pieces

"you son of a-" But before she can, she hears a faint voice behind her.

"die..., bandit scum!..." A gun shot is fired. Gaige couldn't take action since she fell face first on the stone cold ground. Apparently the bandit didn't kill one Hyperion solider, who took the last pot shot at Gaige before getting decapitated. Guess by the stranger.

'why, can't I feel anything' Gaige questioned 'everything feels numb,...and cold. Really,..really, cold' Her eyelids then slowly shuts 'just gonna..take...a...quick...nap'

Her world then turned to darkness as she blacked out...
