Well here we go people, a cosmic crossover that will test the limits of insanity. In italics we will have Marcus speaking, just underlined will be the orphan, in italics and caps will be Mister Torgue, in italics and underlined will be The Crow Father, and in italics and bold will be The Charred Council (three headed being remember? So if it is caped then it is the center head, underlined left head, just bold and italicized right head), these will play that part of our narrators in the prologue. I will do my best to maintain their actual vocabulary but sometimes things go askew. Hope everyone is ready and well lets just get right into it (P.S. Spoiler alert in the following games: Darksiders, Darksiders 2, & Borderlands 2)
Prologue
When it began the universe was split into two different sections. This was to create balance. One world here, one world there. Balance. Split by a zone known only as the Deadlock Zone. Thin of it as the metaphorical scale that weighs out the balancing. This was not merely a balance of physical objects, but a balance of power as well. The nephilim were the ruin of this universe. In the adjacent universe a different kind of ruin arouse. Beings known as sirens. In their own universe they match the power of the nephilim. There were six of them, however, as when Absalom died, so to did a siren named Angel. But now there are five sirens and four nephilim. The balance has shifted, The Warrior and its balanced power The Destroyer are both dead. Samael is alive but his counter power The Leviathan is dead. The Deadlock Zone is unraveling the balance has not been maintained. Only the actions of our unlikely heroes shall determine the fate of us all. Will they stand together or let it all fall?
Once upon a time a dirty little orphan was annoying me for a story before his bedtime, looks like you're not getting fed this week. But Marcus this one will be different, right? Of course it will, this is not like our typical story of a vault hunter, no no this is a story of two vault hunters searching for a vault that isn't like the ones previously found. In a realm they are unfamiliar with, where demons openly kill, and angels aren't exactly the beings of holiness. They are going to a little backwater planet called, Earth. Where is Earth at? What? It's around just shut up and listen to the story. WE AT TORGUE FIND THIS STORY TO SOUND BADASS NOW SHUT THE KID UP AND GO ON! Alright, but no refunds if you don't like it. As I was saying, Earth is a far more dangerous and threatening than Pandora has ever been even under Jack's rule. Once you got passed the angels and demons destroying the whole planet there was another force wrecking havoc, one called Corruption.
War's actions have upset the balance he must pay for these crimes. He has allied himself temporarily with the arch-demon Samael. THE WATCHER WILL HOLD WAR ON THE LEASH LIKE THE DOG HE IS. Not if Samuel grants him his power back. Samuel himself no longer holds such power. He will if War is gathering his Hearts. ENOUGH! THE WATCHER WILL CONTAIN WAR, BUT WHAT OF DEATH? He set out to seek The Crow Father, his secretes might expose us. The Crow Father hates Death more so than any of the other Horsemen, he will not give up secretes, not to Death so long as he still bears that amulet. Thanks to that nephilim War all of Balance has shifted out of place Chaos is spreading, we must bring it to a halt. And what shall we do with the Corruption, Death has only delayed it, but still it comes. THE CORRUPTION SHALL BE DEALT WITH SOON ENOUGH.
Death came to me still holding onto that old crow, Dust I saw. I asked him to take back that which he gave me and in return I ended up becoming a victim at the wrong end of his scythes. He did, in the end, take the amulet with him on his journey, a bit of a scar to remind him of that which he had done to his fellow nephilim so very long ago. Setting him on the path to restore his brother, I sent Death to the realm of the Makers. WHERE ARE ALL THE F***ING EXPLOSIONS? Hey, I'm telling the story here so shut it. But Marcus where is all the action? We're getting to that you dirty little orphan, this is called a prologue give some background to the story. This all started moments after our vault hunter saved Lilith and the two sirens came up from destroying The Warrior and killing that douche-bag Handsome Jack. War has broken the final seal! The end war is starting. The Watcher failed us, the other Horsemen will back him. NOT IF THEY AREN'T THERE. What do you plan? War broke the final seal just as Death had plunged himself into The Well of Souls. Being summoned back immediately to Earth. War having killed The Destroyer and Death having killed Absalom, yet again, made the Earth inhabitable for mankind once more. But without Death's sacrifice none can return, not yet.
Now the Horsemen are gathering for the end war. As our vault hunters arose from their epic battle to meet up with the rest of us. Initiate the process now, before they reach War! But Lilith and Maya were not the ones we received. PLOT TWIST! Where did Lilith and Maya go? To that Earth place of course. But how? The eridium that burst from The Warrior caused Lilith to lose control and she phase shifted herself and Maya. Really? I don't know I wasn't there now shut up or it'll be two weeks without food. Are Strife and Fury in the Deadlock Zone? No they have disappeared onto the other side. What!? How? We don't know, but two have taken their place. Who are these beings. Anything from the other side is unknown you know that. SILENCE BOTH OF YOU! WE SHALL WAIT AND SEE HOW THIS MIGHT PLAY INTO OUR FAVOR. An interesting development has befallen our nephilim. Will they be able to fight off the hordes of Heaven, Hell, and Corruption without their brother and sister? THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME!
Ha-ha couldn't have said it better myself Mister Torgue. Sorry for the confusion guys, I know it is hard to keep up with who says what. That was only for the prologue, unless people liked it in which case I'd be more than happy continuing it, but other then that they will be labeled on who is saying what so you don't have to remember a specific typing style going with who's voice. It's only about 1/3rd the amount I wanted to write but I feel that it would be better to save off and just let the prologue be really short. Well chapter one: Phase-locked War now in the making see ya then!
