(I do not own or claim to own any of the characters mentioned in this story)
Pandora, a planet most consider hell. They aren't very far from being true actually, but I think even hell is more merciful than here. Between the bandit groups, hordes of dangerous creatures, and the unforgiving planet itself, survival alone is all but impossible and still difficult in a large group. But there are few who can survive alone, those who can fight off the murderous bandits and bloodthirsty animals, they are called Vault Hunters.
Unfortunately, I am not one, I am merely a citizen of a small town known as New Haven. The Vault Hunters have decided to settle down here now that their quest to open The Vault is over with. My name is Krieg and I'm a mechanic that works for Scooter here in town, he does the fixing up in shop while I'm more of a field mechanic. Today there haven't been any problems with the machinary outside of New Haven, but inside there have been tons, so much that Scooter asked me to stay here and help today. Right now I'm with Zed, fixing his medical supply dispensary.
"What seems to be the problem with it, looks fine to me"
"Well I just can't get the garsh darn thing to work. I can still patch everybody up myself but if I'm busy this is the next best thing."
"Alright, I'll see wha-" right then a loud explosion went off, echoing through the city. With the frantic screams and the smell of fire I knew something was very wrong and it wasn't just some accident.
"Lethal force initiating" a robotic voice boomed right before I heard machine gun fire and more screams as people were gunned down.
"What in the hell!? Come on Krieg, we can hide in my bunker, its fortified and hidden and... and..." Zed scrambled around as he grabbed various medical supplies and shoved them in his coat pockets. He then grabbed his shield and activated it and then tossed one to me.
"I can't... I have to help. I may just be a mechanic, but I'm a pretty good shot too. If things get too rough though I know the password to get in, just take as many with you as you can." I loaded and cocked my pistol and activated the shield Zed gave me. "I promise I won't get myself killed Zed, but wish me luck" I ran out of the store before he could object, and what greeted me was a burning city with mechanical loader units from Hyperion slaughtering everyone in site. There were bodies everywhere, littering the streets and bullets flying everywhere as the Vault Hunters fought back. I saw them be defeated, a saw a giant loader spray a huge string of bullets at their homes and then Roland scream "Retreat, run for it soldiers!". Right then a loader grabbed me from behind, and hit me on the head to knock me unconscious, the last thing I saw was the Vault Hunters running away before I blacked out.
