Heyo! This is a redo of New Pandora since I learned that half of the story makes absolutely no sense. So we got a new plot and there shouldn't be any holes or contradictions in it. So here is the first chapter of my new story…

Chapter 1: A New Beginning

It has been nearly 17 years since the Vault Hunters had been on any real adventures. Lilith had assumed command of the Crimson Raiders with Mordecai and Brick as her top two men. Axton had become one of Lilith's top soldiers and became a two star general after he led the assault on Opportunity. After two weeks of nearly constant fighting, the city had become theirs. This was 12 years ago and had been renamed Crimson City.

All of the other Vault Hunters had assumed roles within the Raiders either teaching or improving the Raiders. Gaige had join the Development and Research team to help create new weapons for the Raiders and technological advancements to improve the quality of life. Salvador had become the lead instructor of Raider infantry training and practically created an army of gunzkerers. Krieg had regained his sanity and molded himself into society.

He was given the task of close combat training for the Raiders. Maya had become the head instructor for teaching the Raiders how to use elemental weapons. Zer0 was in charge of teaching the Raiders how to snipe. Pandora had achieved relative peace with the assistance of the Black Knights. Bandit clans still existed, but remained in their own secluded areas.

Zer0 stood inside the close combat training arena with a wooden sword in his hand. His opponent was a teenage girl with long black hair that fell past her shoulders. She had blue eyes that matched the blue streak in her hair that went down the left side. She quickly brushed the hair that fell in her face out of the way and took a fighting stance. "Ready Angel?" Zer0 questioned as he raised his wooden sword.

"Ready Dad." She replied as she raised her wooden sword. She shot forward and the two clashed wooden blades with a loud crack. She slid her blade back and swung for his side, but he blocked it. She switched sides but he blocked that swing too. "Try not to alternate side swings." Zer0 advised. "It makes your tactics obvious. You want to keep you opponent guessing."

Angel shot back and replied "Right. Don't repeat swings. Make unpredictable moves. Got it." She shot forward and swung for his side again. He was about to block it when she flew just behind him and struck him in the back. He stumbled forward and spun around to block another swing. She swung at him mercilessly and he was starting to have trouble keeping up.

He blocked one swing when he noticed she took a step that landed next to his foot. She kicked her foot to the side and tripped him, sending him to one knee. He looked up and was met with Angel's wooden blade at his throat. She was panting and sweat started to drip from her. "I… win." She panted.

She took her blade away from him and helped him to his feet. "It seems that the student has finally surpassed the master." Zer0 chuckled as he placed his hand on his daughter's shoulder. "Thanks Dad." Angel replied. "Can I get my own sword now?"

"We'll see."

"You always say that."

He patted her head and laughed "I know. Let's get showered and get out of here. Your mother is going to kill us for staying out so long." Angel laughed "Right. She'd be mad if we were even a minute late to the party." Zer0 headed for the male locker room and started to shower. Today was Angel's birthday and his little girl was turning 17 today. He finished his shower and threw on his usual grey long sleeved shirt and black pants.

We grabbed his gym bag and walked out to see that Angel was still in the women's locker room. He knocked on the door and called "Hurry up Angel! We need to get going!" She shouted from inside "I just need another minute!" Zer0 pulled down on his face and groaned "We'll be here for another hour if you need another minute." He sat down at a bench and waited for his daughter.

She finally walked out after ten minutes wearing a nice blue shirt with black pants. Her hair was a little more fluffed than usual and she was wearing make-up. "Is that what you're wearing to the party?" Angel questioned as she put a hand on her cocked hip. "Yes." Zer0 answered as he stood up and shouldered his bag.

"Dad! It's a party! You can't show up looking like you just left the gym!"

"But we are just leaving the gym."

"That isn't the point! We need to get you some better clothes!"

"Angel, we are both going to get an ear full from your mother as it is, we don't need her to kill us."

Angel looked like she was about to say something but just sighed "Fine." Zer0 patted the top of her head and laughed "One day you'll learn that I'm always right Angel."

"I'm a teenager Dad, I think I'm always right."

"Yes, and you'll learn that you aren't."

Angel threw her hand up in the air and admitted defeat "Fine! You win! Let's go."

Zer0 laughed as he patted his daughter's head "There you go. Now you're learning." The two walked out of the building and started making their way to the outskirts of Crimson city. The party was visible from the middle of the bridge and Zer0 smiled to see how well it turned out. There was a large table with different foods and a large cake at the end. There was another table next to it with gifts on it.

Angel ran over to meet her friends as Zer0 found his wife, Maya. She was talking with Axton as Zer0 wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her cheek. "Where have you two been!?" She snapped as she spun around. "The party started half an hour ago!" Maya's hair was longer, just barely falling past her shoulders. She was wearing a light blue shirt with blue jeans as she scolded Zer0 for being late.

Zer0 stood there and smiled as his wife yelled at him until she barked "Stop smiling when I'm yelling at you! It makes it harder to do so!" Zer0 kissed her forehead and chuckled "Yes dear." Maya smiled and questioned "So what took you two so long?"

"Angel finally beat me."

"Really?"

"Yep. Finally took all my lessons and put them to use."

Zer0 put his arm around his wife as the turned to look at their daughter, who was talking with her friends from school. "Our little girl is growing up." Maya choked a little. "They'll do that to ya." Axton added. Zer0 shook Axton's hand and exclaimed "Glad you could make it."

"Wouldn't miss it. You know we're all family. I just want to know where Gaige and… there they are."

Zer0 looked to the bridge to see Gaige with her hair down and a small boy that looked almost exactly like Axton, but with red hair. Gaige was still in her jean jacket and work pants, splattered with grease and various lubricants. The boy was wearing a green shirt and blue jeans and carrying a long box under his arm. "Where have you two been?" Axton questioned as his wife hugged him. "Me and Justin were putting the finishing touches on Angel's gift." Gaige replied.

Justin put the long box on the gift table and went over to Angel, who seemed over joyed to see him. "This had better not be another robot companion that will turn against us." Zer0 grumbled. "This is totally different!" Gaige proclaimed. "And I fixed all the problems on Buddy Bot!" Zer0 rolled his eyes at the Mechromancer and asked "How is Justin's latest project going?" Justin was a mechanical genius like his mother and a wanted to be a soldier like his father.

Axton would tell Zer0 that he would find Justin working on all different projects to help with the military, but all of them would fail. "He thinks he almost has it down." Axton answered. "But I don't really think that a person could support a plasma mini gun on their shoulder while having a metal plate on their chest. Too much weight if you ask me."

"He'll figure it out. He's a smart kid."

"Smart ass more like it."

Maya added "I wonder where he gets it from." All of them looked at Axton, who commented "Hilarious." They continued to talk until Gaige pointed out "Hey! Krieg's here!" They turned to see the former psycho walking with his wife, Patricia Tannis, and his son Patrick. Krieg was still built, but adapted to wearing a black shirt and no psycho mask.

His face was scarred from all of the tests Hyperion performed on him and he was completely bald. Tannis remained the same except she grew her hair out a little bit. Patrick looked like a perfect combination of the two. He stood almost as tall as his mother and had her short brown hair. He was built like his father and mainly stayed quiet.

The psycho family walked over to the group and greeted. Patrick went over to Angel while Krieg shook all of the guys' hands and Tannis hugged the girls. "Took you two long enough." Axton laughed. "Patricia decided that she had a few experiments to run before we got here." Krieg answered as he gestured to his wife. "Scientific inquiry takes precedence over celebrations of one's birth." Tannis urged as she crossed her arms.

"Well everyone has made it!" Maya proclaimed. "Except for Salvador. Where do you think he's at?"

Zer0 answered "Probably training some grunts at the moment. I'm sure he'll show up. After all, Angel is basically his niece." Since all of the Vault Hunters worked together, their children grew up together, basically making all of them family. Angel talked with her friends from school when she heard Justin greet "Happy Birthday Angel." She turned to see her little brother and cheered "You made it!" She wrapped Justin in a hug and cheered "I'm so happy you made it!"

Justin was two years younger than she was and considered him a little brother since they practically grew up together. She put Justin down and questioned "How does the new project go?" Justin smiled and answered "I think I may just have it down. The firing mechanism works great and I was able to balance the entire thing out so I won't fall over anymore."

"That's awesome! Have you shown your parents yet?"

"I will once I know it works."

She looked to her friends who seemed like they were lost. Angel could understand if they were, their parents didn't raise them for Old Pandora life. Pandora was more civilized now without all of the bandits and creatures trying to kill you ten steps from the city. Bandits lived in their own areas and creatures generally avoided major areas so Pandora was starting to become… livable. "Don't worry if you don't get it." Angel chuckled. "Just Vault Hunter stuff."

The three other girls laughed at the idea of being a Vault Hunter, but that's what Angel wanted to do with her life. She wanted nothing more than to be like her parents, to be a Vault Hunter. She knew that Justin wanted to be a soldier and Patrick wanted to be a scientist, but Angel just longed for the freedom and carefree life of a Vault Hunter. She was tapped on the shoulder and looked up a bit to see Patrick's smiling face. "Patrick! You made it too!" Angel cheered as she hugged her other brother.

Patrick wordlessly patted her back as Angel let him go. He handed her a small book labelled "Vaults: Remains of the Eridians." Angel's jaw hit the floor and she stammered "B-b-b-ut… this isn't even supposed to be released yet! How? How did you?" Patrick pointed to the book and then pointed at his mother. "You got her to get me a copy!? This is amazing!" Angel cheered as she hugged Patrick again.

She went over to the table and set the book on it, overjoyed that she had a book on Vaults. She looked over at the adults, who were chatting it up with each other. Angel returned to her friends and continued to talk with them for a while. The party went on like a usual birthday party did, cake and food with all the usual singing. Angel thought the gifts were nice, her friends got her some nice clothes and off world music, which Angel enjoyed from time to time.

Justin handed her his gift and commented "I think you'll like this." She opened it up to see the most glorious sniper rifle she had ever seen. It had the shape of a Maliwan E-tech sniper, but without the wings and had a black and blue paint job. She picked it up and proclaimed "She's beautiful! Who made this?" Justin proclaimed with pride "Me and Mom did. It's a pulse sniper with rechargeable clip. Good for sixty shots before needing to recharge."

"That is completely and utterly awesome! Let's try it out!"

Angel grabbed the standard military grade magazine and put it in the bottom of the rifle. She looked through the scope and put the sights on a rock about a mile away. She used what her dad taught her about sniping and slowed her breathing. She gave the trigger a slow squeeze and the recoil nearly threw Angel off her feet. "It has quite a kick to it." Justin laughed.

Angel put it on the table and cheered "Thank you so much!" She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Dad handing her a small box. "Last one." He proclaimed as she took it from him. She opened it up to find a black stick about a foot long. Her eyes widened as everyone questioned what it was; a digistructing katana like her father's.

She squealed almost at the top of her lungs "I can't believe it! My own katana! Thank you so much dad!" She wrapped her arms around her father and repeated "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" He laughed and responded "Why don't you give it a few swings?" She let him go and grabbed the cold metal of her new weapon. She grasped the other end and separated the two pieces, digistructing a white blade as her father's was blue.

She gazed at the beautiful blade with her mouth open, amazed that she finally had one of her own. "This is my tool." She thought as she gave the blade a few swings. "My tool to become a Vault Hunter."

There you have it folks! The revamped version of New Pandora! There will still be other characters from the original and they will still be the same. Remember, Assassin and Siren is the first story in the D3m0n1c Pandora series. Just a reminder. Anyway, let me know what y'all think with a PM or review (preferable review).
