Borderlands: The Crimson Raiders

by Fusebear

Read the tale of Borderlands from the perspective of Davis Griffin and his friend Jackall as they arrived on Pandora, were in the Crimson Lance but than wanting to join the Crimson Raiders due to General Knoxx getting e two now are on the road to Sanctuary to aid in the battle against Handsome Jack and the Hyperion corporation.

It's been a while since the death of General Knoxx, the former Crimson Lance has fallen appart. I have heard about that on the ECHOnet, I used to be

a Vault Hunter on Elpis but i found Vault hunting pointless as The Vault held no treasure at all or so i thought. Upon arrival on Pandora i realised what

a savage,hostile planet it was. I was a short term Crimson Lance soldier, heh that job didn't last long as General Knoxx was murdered by the original 4

Vault Hunters ( Roland, Mordecai, Lilith and Brick) the job lasted only 4 months. Im on the train in Tundra Express making my path to Sanctuary to

join the Crimson Raiders and insanely enough aid Commander Roland the very man who killed my General. Though i had no choice, it was either that

or going rogue just waiting for the bandits to kill me and loot my corpse. My name is Corporal Davis Griffin and this my story.

TUNDRA EXPRESS

I took a deep breath, the smell of snow in Tundra Express gave me the feeling that im getting closer. Me and my former Crimson Lance comrade

Jackall stepped out of the train onto the solid snow but than something didn't feel right.

"Hey Jackall,I have a bad feeling" I said to him paranoid.

"Don't be such a pansy Grif (as he liked to call me) nothing bad is going to-" He was confident at first but was cut off as a sniper round hit the Varkid

not far from them. A few moments later Mordecai contacted Jackall via the ECHO device.

"Sorry 'bout that you have to admit it was a good shot thought, sorry again im drunk" said Mordecai with his growly voice and scratchy accent.

"You scared the living crap out of us!" shouted Jackall angry at Mordecai.

A sigh of depression was heard from Mordecai's ECHO.

"Can't a man have some fun?" jokingly exclaimed Mordecai while heard drinking more booze.

"That guy makes me sick" i whispered to Jackall

We both looked at eachother and decided to ignore the drunk sniper and continue our journey to Sanctuary.

After a few hours of walking we were in Three Horns Divide walking on the road, i was carrying an Uncommon rarity Bandit SMG as Jackall

had his trusty Maliwan Snider (fire elemental) by his side at all times. We were walking and stumbled upon Fish Guts Outpost.

I went in to see if anybody was there, the smartypants that i was i yelled out:

"Hello! Is anybody here?!"

A tall figure turned to me and i realized it was a Nomad and so he replied:

"Hehe your not suppoed to be here little hare." as he grabed his heavy assbeater bandit machinegun.

I looked back at Jackall who was staring at me in dissapointment.

"SALT THE WOUNDS BOYS!" a psycho yelled grabbing his Buzzaxe and runing for us laughing

"Give me everything you got,little hare!" cried the nomad and shot at me and my fellow comrade.

Jackall shook his head in dissapointment and dashed into cover.

"Well arent you a great communicator" joked Jackall as he peaked out of cover and sniped a marauder with his Snider.

In my mind i was dissapointed in myself too as I should have expected something like this to happen on a savage planet

"Nothing to do about it now, just shut up and try to shoot them!" I cried to now focused Jackall.
