A lone man sat idly within a strange-looking chair, that stood alone in the middle of an room with a wide window looking out to the empty void of space. The man looked into the void in deep thought, till his attention was pull towards a loud alarm going off, then to another man explaining that. "I didn't do it!" in a guilty voice, obviously the one who caused the alarms to cry out.
But what happen next, surprises everyone currently inside the bridge of the strange ship, which had began to shake before turning away from a planet. Then zoomed forward with a blue-ish streak as it appears to be entering through a field, the light covering the black void becoming nothing but blurs as it cruised forward at great speed. Till it stopped over another planet, which has a distinct purple "scar" emiting purple light.
Then everything began to go black for the lone man standing at the center of the room, while everything was shaking and the circuits buzzing from intense damage. Till a fiery ball came soaring towards the front of the disc-shape ship, but the man wouldn't know if it hit as he appear to have awoke from something else.
That something else was the train stopping at a station, which causes the train to rock from the sudden stop as it slows down to a halt. Stopping at another station like the last one he had boarded from. The doors slid open as new passengers step aboard.
The first to board was a tall lean woman with short light-ish blue hair, wearing a black and yellow jumpsuit with one sleeve, along with a pair of jeans. The other sleeve seems to have been purposely removed to show her left arm's strangely intricate tattoo, that was a much lighter color blue than her hair.
"Finally, now maybe I can read in peace...trying to read with you two complaining, made it hard to concentrate."
Maya The Siren...also a book worm.
Next came a guy of a similiar height, whose has a slightly buzz-cut hair. Wearing some form of military garbs. Which was a mix of brown for the jacket and green for the cargo pants, both cover with some harnesses for weapons. A few already being holstered to it.
"Yeah, well I don't know about you. But that bench is hard to sit on, just glad these things offer cushion seats."
Axton The Commando...who treat his turret like it his girlfriend.
Following after the first two was another lean figure, only this one being a guy...maybe. It was hard to tell from the full body suit and helmet, both being a black and grey coloring with a few white stripes. The whole outfit kind of makes the guy look like a ninja or something, probably is too.
"Patients, a good virtue, try it."
Zero The Assassin...he speaks haiku.
The last one to board was a short fat, or maybe that just muscles, guy with an even spikier hair than the first guy. This guy was wearing an orange t-shirt and worn-out blue jeans, there was also a bandana tied around his left thigh. along with a harness like the other guy has on, but the belt buckle was more interesting than his shortness.
"Oh yeah, I didn't see you sitting. Damn, my ass hurts."
Salvador The Gunzerker...enough said.
"HOLD THE DOORS!" A feminine voice shouted as the last guy held open the doors, allowing the owner of the voice to rush inside before the train's door closes. Then began departing from the station, causing a few of them to stumble from being unbalanced. Excluding the bluenette and the ninja-guy, whose have managed to get some sits after boarding. Though the short big guy fell on his ass and was soon given a hand by the soldier-looking one.
But the lone man look toward the girl that ran into the train, whose was a redhead and had her hair in pigtails. She obviously a teenager from how young she look, and from the school uniform too, which also makes her a student. Though she was wearing a hooded vest jacket along with it, which was currently zipped-up. But she had the skull on her red t-shirt showing, which matches the one on the vest's back. And from the array of tools on her belt, must make her some sort of mechanic or inventor. Though what really stand out, was the girl's robotic left arm.
"Whew! Thanks, thought I was gonna miss it. Anyways...name Gaige."
Gaige The Mechromancer...the anarchist high schooler.
"Guess that means I should give mine, name Maya." The Siren responded with a sigh as she was getting back to reading.
"Name Axton, and this here my lady." Axton announced before holding up a rectangular box, which was likely his "lady" in question.
"Zero, assassin, and that it." declared the lean man in the ninja-like getup.
"Pleasure to meet yall chicka, name Salvador." Announced the short man, who was flexing his arms with a big grin.
"Nice to meet you too...sooo who he?" Gaige asks before she pointed toward the man sitting alone in a booth.
Whose was wearing a leather brown duster, which was covering a metal chest-plate underneath. Which seems to match the one strapped to his left-shoulder, both being a military green color thats look a little worn-out from age. The man also had a black cowboy hat on top his head, which he has tilted cover his face and make him appear to be asleep. Only he wasn't as the man since he has been watching them enter from the corner of his right eye, along with listening to them talking as they introduced themselves.
When the school girl step up to where he was sitting, she tried to tilt his hat up in order to get a look at his face. Only to have her wrist be grabbed by him instead, which spooked Gaige a bit out of surprise as she didn't expected him to be awake.
"Sorry, but I wasn't sleeping." The cowboy stated as he tilt the hat back himself, giving them all a good look at his face. Showing how young he look as he appears to be nearing his twenties. His face was a little covered in stubble that line along his jawline and around his mouth, along with a small layer of facial hair. Which slightly contrast with his lightly tanned skin.
"Name Lone, pleasure to meet you all."
Lone The Wanderer...savior of somewhere else.
"Lone...that a weird name, almost as weird as Zero." Gaige pointed out as she wave her hand toward the seated Zero, whose perk his head up at hearing his name being spoken.
"It is simple, it means nothing, I like it." He clarify as he return to whatever it was he been doing, possibly sleeping from how he was sitting.
Everyone else just stared at the Assassin blankly for a second, then everything started rocking. Causing the three still standing to flail their arms, Salvador falling onto his back again. While Axton stumble for a bit before falling onto Maya's lap face first, which made the Siren to cried out with blushing cheeks. Then threw him off as quickly as possible, putting the Commando to fall onto his back as well.
Gaige was also stumbling as she tried regaining her balance, only failing as another big shook nearly send her crashing down onto the floor. Or would if it wasn't for Lone catching her in mid-fall, whose brought her down on the second seat beside him. Though it didn't stop Gaige to realize how close they were, making her blush as well.
"Must've hit something...do I hear screaming?" Lone asked after letting go of the school girl, whose then stood back up on her feet. Allowing the Wanderer to stand up as well, trying to see what was outside through the window.
Then turn his head toward the opening doors on the front end of the cart, seeing Axton opening it after having recover from his fall. "Gonna check with the conductor, maybe he knows something." Axton stated before entering the next train cart.
The rest soon follow after Lone helped Salvador back on his feet, but when they gotten to the next cart. Axton stopped with his Vladof assault rifle drawn out, while staring up at the sign with Handsome Jack face on it with the words "Welcome Vault Hunters". Which soon fell off to reveal a second sign with "To your doom...nothing personal."
Then before any of them could say anything, they all watch a few Hyperion Loader bots activating. All of them unfolding and ready to fight as a few were armed. Everyone ran for cover, while Axton ran down the corridor before throwing up the rectangular box he shown earlier. This time having triggered it to unfold after it clamp down onto the ceiling, while unfolding into a turret with missile silo on it sides. Which soon began firing as the Loader Bots got blown up from the launched missiles.
Axton smiled to his Saber Turret going at it, then turn his head to see Maya about to be attack by a few more Loaders. "Maya, get down!" Axton cried out after bringing out a Maliwan rocket launcher, that lighted up with a green hue, a telltale sign it was corrosive.
Once Maya gave the Commando a clear shot that wouldn't hurt her, Axton fired a rocket that hit the three coming at her. One of them blowing up as the other two became covered in corrosive acid, one of the surviving two nearing death as it see it robotic companion being trapped within a purple-ish orb. Which was due to Maya conjuring it with a wave of a hand, she smirked before tossing it aside. Smashing the trapped Loader into the other one as both went through the wall of the train caught, soon falling off in little bits after exploding.
Which gave Salvador an opening to jump back inside, though the fact he managed to even get outside alludes everyone. But anyways, when the Gunzerker was once back inside the train. He drew two Bandit machine guns, firing them at once as he cried out a battle cry while shooting several Loaders down. Then started going a little carried away as he shot up at the ceiling, which cause a faint sound of two men yelling.
The two men being Hyperion Engineers, each wearing an exoskeleton suits. After they recover from nearly being shot from below, they went at Zero whose been standing idly. When of them tried to punch the Assassin, his robotic fist went through Zero body. Which soon turn out to be a hologram, only they realized it too late as the real Zero stuck, stabbing the Engineer behind the first one with his sword. Then jump over the stabbed Engineer, only to get in front of the other as he kicked the first one. Sending the man to crash onto the sword, killing them both after the Assassin retrieved his sword as he ripped it out of them.
Back down in the train cart, Gaige was trying to get an opening to try something with her left arm. Only she kept being shot at by a few Loaders, making it hard to do anything without getting her arm shot off. Fortunately, Lone came to her aid as he press a button on a strange device that was originally hidden by the sleeve of his duster.
Once he had pressed it, everything in his eyes began slowing down. Lone soon began taking aim as he fired the weak points of the Loader's joints, breaking them apart at the process till they shut down from the damages. Once he had finished them off, Lone reloaded his Jakob revolver with a fresh cylinder.
"Well that all of them, I hope." Lone declared after looking over the robotic carnage of their little firefight.
Then rejoined the others as Axton braced beside a door, which would lead them to the next train cart. Axton look to them before giving a nod, a few nodded back with raised guns. Gaige raised a dropped Tediore SMG she had claimed, though she was giving it a look over for some reason.
Once Axton was certain they were ready, he kicked the door open and breached through with his assault rifle at the ready. Only to give a shock expression like everyone else, staring at what was in front of them. Which was a room filled with explosives and someone that look like Jack.
Only to be just a Jack-dummy, which was wired to them through a the one strapped to it chest. That was ticking off from the timer attach to it.
"It cute that y'all think that you're the heroes of this little story, but you're not..." It declared through a recorded message from Handsome Jack, who then finished with. "Welcome to Pandora, Kiddos." Then everything was a blank as Lone and the other tried to run for safety, but the explosives soon went off as the train carts nearest to the explosions all went flying. Then crashed back down onto the snow covered ground.
