Full Summary: So you want to hear another story eh? One where our intrepid Vault Hunters hunt for more precious loot and continuing the fight against the powerful corporations who wish to take Pandora for themselves? Well too bad, I'm tired of telling stories from that desolate hellhole... for now at least. But how about another type of story eh? One with a more fantastical setting and one where powerful men and women fight monsters of darkness? Got your attention now? Good. Because it's time for me to tell a story about a world that is just a remnant of its former glory. One story that seems too fantastical to believe. A good old fashioned fairytale...
Chapter 1: Know Any Good Fairytales?
Real World
"And so, our story ends with our fearless Vault Hunters killing the tyrannical CEO, Handsome Jack, and finally bringing an end to Hyperion's tyranny. Though our Vault Hunter's or the Crimson Raider's story doesn't end, it's getting late and I'm tired as hell. You being the annoying damned orphan you are, you're the reason why it's so late and why the story took longer to tell."
"Hey! Those were valid questions I was asking! Like how the Vault Hunters got legendary weapons from the corpses of their enemies, even when they had no reason to have them. Or how the Vault Hunters were able to get any loot from that Dungeons & Badasses session they were playing. Or how they kept coming back to-"
"Holy crap kid, can you shut up for a minute! I get that my story has a bunch of plotholes, but I assure you that these are true stories. Now get to bed, it's a few days before Mercenary Day and people will be flocking to the store for our huge weapons sale. I also don't like cleaning up all the trampled bodies when these people stampede into the store and corpses at the entrance of the store will drive off good customers.
"Okay... but can you tell me one last story? I might have gotten some candy from the counter and might've eaten some during the story when you went to the bathroom."
"Oh my god, why did I ever agree to take you in? Fine, one last story. But I'm going to teach you what I do to people if they try to steal from me if you do it again. And you're giving me five bucks for that candy bar."
"Okay fair enough. So what kind of story are you gonna tell? Are new Vault Hunters going to fight corporations like Maliwan? Is it going to be about what happened to Rhys and Fiona after they opened the Vault? Or is it going to be-"
"No, it's not going to be about any of those things. I'm going to tell a different type of story. One with a more... fantastical setting than Pandora. A classic fairytale about powerful men and women fighting off creatures of pure darkness. A story of a war of a seemingly neverending war finally ending. A place a lot more forgiving and lawful than Pandora, but still as dangerous. A world that is a remnant of its former glory."
The Story
Three years after Rhys and his friends opened the Vault of the Traveler, he was able to use the resources to make huge amounts of progress on rebuilding Atlas from the ground up. His company has already begun building their city on Promethea, the origins of the original Atlas' success. They've already started building the city that the Atlas will be based in and Rhys had finally begun Atlas' journey back to the top. Unfortunately, there would be many other corporations, like Hyperion and Maliwan, that will do anything it can to stop the reemergence of Atlas.
The new higher-ups Hyperion were especially livid with news of Atlas returning. Even with the death of Handsome Jack and the destruction of the Helios station, there were still people to pick up the shattered pride of Hyperion. Soon enough, Hyperion soon recovered from one of their biggest failures and began anew. Unfortunately, their new CEO was a secret admirer of Handsome Jack and she has taken huge inspiration from him. Although she was focussing on the recovery of Hyperion, she holds a burning hatred for Atlas and their new CEO.
A former Hyperion employee that practically the only remnant of Handsome Jack's presence, destroyed the Helios station, and is becoming Hyperion's greatest potential threat? It wasn't a surprise that Hyperion's new CEO wanted Rhys dead. Hyperion soon began a secret corporate war against Atlas and was attempting to destroy Atlas' only chances on getting back on top. Keyword: attempted. Rhys had expected Hyperion to retaliate one way or another. So when he started rebuilding Atlas from the ground, he also began rebuilding what made so many people fear Atlas. He began rebuilding the Crimson Lance, one of the most badass corporate military forces in the six galaxies.
The Crimson Lance, once the bad guys of our earlier stories are now our heroes in this story. A company of Crimson Lancemen was assigned with the task of protecting the people on this expedition. Various people coming from various types of backgrounds. From the newly trained recruits, the older Crimson Lance veterans, and the extra mercenaries that were hired just in case.
The exploration ship was heading towards a planet that had a lot of potential for new resources. Even with the eridium on Promethea, Atlas couldn't just rely on eridium for their technology anymore. Atlas might've been the ones to discover eridium technology and make billions, but Hyperion was able to capitalize on it and make trillions from it. Atlas needs to discover something on the level of eridium so that they can make it clear to the rest of the corporations that Atlas is back and is here to stay.
Our story finally begins with our heroes being attacked by Hyperion. As the various Hyperion soldiers and loaders raided the exploration ship, we are finally introduced to our heroes.
Leo the Combat Medic drags escorts various wounded Crimson Lancemen and civilians in a large room. He barricades the doors and puts down a prototype healing station and watched as everyone's bruises, wounds, and gashes started healing. Leo nods to himself and congratulates himself before he shot three Hyperion infiltrators that snuck in the room and was about to kill the people in his care. Soon enough, many of the Crimson Lance began getting up and thanked him. When Hyperion troops burst into the room, the civilians got behind Leo and the rest of the Crimson Lance got in front of Leo to protect him. Glorious slaughter soon met the unfortunate Hyperion soldiers.
Jax the Rocketeer flies through the battlefield with his prized Norfleet in hand. As the loaders and soldiers fired at Jackson, he dodged and weaved through the bullets whizzing through the air. With one pull of the trigger, three projectiles soon fly out of his Norfleet and killed almost everyone in the area. With body parts and scrap metal raining down, Jackson was very satisfied with his work and flies off to the next wave of enemies.
Anna the Assassin quietly infiltrates the chaotic battlefield, waiting for an opportunity to strike. As she decloaks in a group of enemies, Anna pulls out her plasma swords and slices through the loaders and soldiers like a hot knife through butter. As she sliced through them, her swords make a loud hissing sound as they went penetrated the armor and sliced right through the soft flesh inside. After everyone and everything was un-alive, she retreated back to the shadows. She really hates using that word.
Clayton the Pyro was behind a corner while the rest of his comrades were luring a Hyperion squadron into a trap. When he saw his team run past him and give him a thumbs up, Clayton prepared his flamethrower and was ready to kill. As the squadron was right around the corner, Clayton ambushed them and began to W+M1 the entire Hyperion squadron to death. As Clayton's enemies were screaming for their lives and were trying everything to put out the fires, Clayton's nervousness soon turned into maniacal laughter.
Even with the Crimson Lance absolutely wrecking the Hyperion invaders, this was only a distraction. During the chaos and the bloodshed, an elite squad of Hyperion agents was able to infiltrate the command center and kill everyone. The commander of the ship put up a good fight, but one of the agents cut off his legs and he fell to the floor. The agents thought the commander had died, but the commander was a tough sonuvabitch.
He was able to reach the PA system and tell everyone, "Lancemen! Hyperion got to the command center! I repeat, Hyperion got to the-" One of the agents shot the commander in the head and made sure that everyone else was dead. When they finally took control of the ship, they saw a large field of moon fragments in the distance and they had an idea. They soon put on auto-pilot and set course to fly through the moon fragments. The Hyperion agents soon left and teleported out of the command center, knowing that this entire exploration ship was doomed.
When everyone else heard the commander's last words, our heroes soon rushed to the command center just before the Hyperion agents escaped. They soon saw the moon fragments in the distance. With none of them knowing how to pilot a spaceship, Jax got onto the intercom system and said, "Everyone needs to get to the escape pods! We're headed towards a field of space debris!"
Just as Jax finished, the entire ship shook and rumbled. The shields were quickly being destroyed by the large debris. The four Lancemen soon escaped the command center before a large moon fragment crashed into the window. Jax activated his jetpack and told the others that he'll save them an escape pod when they get there. He soon off into the distance and towards to where the escape pods were at.
The others were able to catch up to him and get inside the escape pod. The escape pod soon ejected out of the ship and it seems they were able to escape just in time. The Lancemen could see their ship quickly being destroyed by the debris and was totally trashed. As the escape pod flew through the debris, they stared out into the distance and saw the full majesty of this planet's moon. The moon was shattered like some extremely powerful weapon shot right through it. The hole through the moon looked way too precise to have been an explosion.
Soon, the escape pod entered the planet's atmosphere and everyone braced for impact. When the escape pod finally landed, everyone inside could hear a distinct squishing noise. Anna hoped that they didn't just land on some poor unfortunate soul that just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. When they got out, they saw a bunch of people in strange white masks. Some of them had some animal-like qualities like bunny ears, deer antlers, and monkey tails. On the walls was a logo that had a wolf colored in red paint and three slashes going through the middle of it. When Leo got down to see what they landed on, there was a lot of blood splattered on their escape pod.
Meanwhile, the White Fang was jaw dropped to what has happened. They just woke up early in the morning to be greeted a beautiful meteor shower. Then suddenly out of nowhere a meteor just landed on one of their members and squished her like a grape.
Leo and the others were holding up their hands. Leo soon said, "We come in peace, bring us to your leader and we might be able to talk things out."
Surprisingly enough, one of them responded in perfect English and yelled out, "OH MY GOD, WHAT THE HELL! THAT METEOR KILLED MY FIANCE!"
The strange animal-human hybrids took out their weapons and began pointing it at them. Their weapons look a lot less advanced than their weapons, but Leo didn't want to accidentally start a war with the natives.
"Wait wait wait, just hold on! We didn't know we killed your fiance! It was an accident!" Leo said as he pulled off his intimidating helmet to show a not-so intimidating looking face.
Everyone else was silent before one of them said, "HUMANS?! THAT'S EVEN WORSE! KILL THEM ALL!"
Everyone on the team all simultaneously said to themselves "Aw shit, here we go again."
The Lancemen soon pulled out their weapons and began firing at the aliens. Jax flew up into the air and began firing his Norfleet at a large group of these aliens. Leo set up his special healing station on the escape pod and began using his Infinity pistol to defend himself. Anna soon cloaked and was moving through the chaos undetected. Clayton was testing the effects of his flamethrower on the native aliens. It was super effective.
They have also discovered that these aliens have some sort of natural shield and some of them even had some crazy powers. One of the aliens were able to fly up into the air and get the drop on Jax. The alien jammed his sword right through Jax's jetpack and Jax was plummeting down to the ground. Before he hit the ground though, he was able to airshot the alien and blow him to pieces. Jax soon fell to the ground a loud crack could be heard when he hit the ground. At least Jax knows that this wasn't Pandora's gravity level.
Leo was able to drag Jax to his healing station and protect him while he was recovering. Clayton was able to dispatch his enemies relatively quickly but saw one of the aliens actually getting stronger as he burned. The alien soon began breathing fire at Clayton and when the alien realized that Clayton was pretty much fire-proof, he began attacking Leo and Jax. Clayton was having none of this and took out his favorite Jakobs shotgun, the Hydra, and shot the flaming alien dead.
Guess the alien was still vulnerable to bullets. Who knew?
Meanwhile, Anna was constantly ambushing new reinforcements and was easily able to cut them down quickly. But when Anna was ambushed, she was surprised that some of the aliens can turn invisible. A colorful looking alien that had skin like a chameleon soon shot her with her non-elemental sniper rifle. Anna thought she could take it, but was punished for thinking that she can simply just tank a sniper rifle round. She soon realized it was an electric round and she was soon convulsing in pain.
Thanks to her training, she was able to shake it off and knew to take her out instantly. Anna soon threw a shuriken at the chameleon alien's head. It didn't un-alive her obviously since these things aren't meant to un-alive but distract. When the shuriken hit the chameleon alien's stomach, Anna dashed forward with her twin plasma blades and sliced her in half. Her upper half body soon fell over and it shocked the enemies who just witnessed the brutality. Anna soon un-alived them just as quickly.
Soon, everyone in the camp was killed and all who remained was our Crimson Lancemen. Jax was able to recover from his backbreaking fall and Anna came back with some newly discovered information. She told everyone that some of them had elemental rounds and showed her team some of them. Leo took what looked like a fire shotgun shell and loaded it into his Jakobs Hydra shotgun. He was surprised to see that his Jakobs weapon was able to shoot out fire.
Everyone was soon looting the entire camp to find these elemental bullets. Leo found some Cyro pistol ammo and wanted to see if he can combine elements. He took out his corrosive Infinity pistol and loaded the cryo bullet into it. To his excitement, his Infinity began shooting out both caustic and cryo elemental damage. When everyone was done looting the entire camp, they found an array of elemental bullets and new interesting weapons as well.
A weapon that Anna found was both a combination of a shotgun and a broadsword, a weapon that Jax found was a strange amalgamation of a sniper rifle and a scythe, and a weapon that Clayton found was just a bow and arrow. Who uses a bow and arrow in an era of automatic weapons, Clayton will never know. As they went through the loot they found, they soon get a message on their Echo Communicator along with a file that contained a map.
The message was from their captain and it said, "To anyone who survived the crash and just landed on the planet, come meet me at the marked location on the map I've sent you. I was able to find valuable information about this planet and it'll be vital for our survival. Beware the wildlife and any roaming bandit patrols. If you can, bring some of those elemental bullets as well. Atlas will be very pleased with our findings."
Everyone soon opened up the file that had the map of this place and downloaded it to their Echo Communicator. Leo and the others soon began their trek to a town that was marked Hopeville.
The forest was humble, crowded, and budding. Its canopy was competed for by various alien and familiar looking trees. The cascading lights were bouncing between the leaves allowed for scattered shrubs to cultivate the brittle leaves on the ground below. Bundled vines clung to many a tree, and a hodgepodge of flowers, which desperately tried to avoid the shadows, added more life in the otherwise green landscape.
Jax has lived on Pandora for almost his entire life. It was mostly in the desert regions, so seeing an entire sea of green was a pretty nice experience. Leo and Anna felt right at home when they walked through this forest, reminding them of their more rural homes in their homeworlds. Clayton wasn't used to such a quiet and natural looking forest, he would feel more at home at the more loud and vibrant concrete jungles of his city.
As they trekked through the forest, Leo decided to talk to his team. They were pretty far away from Hopeville and it would be nice to get to them, even if they might not see each other again. Anna and Clayton were ahead of the group and they don't seem to want to talk to anyone Leo decided to talk to the rocketeer of the group, seeing as he just saved his life and would probably make for a good conversation starter... maybe.
"So seeing we're barely at Hopeville, we might as well get to know each other. My name is Leo, the guy who'll save your ass and the reason why you'll be alive when we get to Hopeville."
"It seems you're doing pretty well at that. Name's Jax and thanks for saving me back there. Still trying to get used to this planet's gravity, so used to Pandora's though."
"Oh, you're from Pandora? How's it like there? The only things I've heard about that place is what came out of Hyperion's mouth and I've learned a long time ago not to trust anything that they say."
"Well, most of the things Hyperion says about Pandora is true. There's a lot of people trying to kill you and it's just a mess out there. With all these guys coming to Pandora for the Vaults, life just got crazier. You can make a fortune out of bounty hunting though and it's relatively safer than hunting for a Vault."
"What made you join the Crimson Lance anyway? Didn't they make a mess out of Pandora a few years ago?"
"Nah, not where I lived. The only thing you'll find where I lived is just sand, bandits, and a few towns. There was nothing of interest for people like Atlas to take away. Not like we had much to give anyway except a few bullets to the head."
"I noticed that you've got one of those Norfleet weapon models on you. Don't those things go for tens of millions out on the black market? Not to be rude or anything, but how the hell did you get your hands on one of those things?"
"Remember when I said you'd make a fortune out of bounty hunting?"
"... Ooh, I think I know now."
"Yeah, I've killed so many people for this thing, it's not even funny. The bandit clans I needed to kill for this weapon was all worth it though. So, while we're talking weapons, what'd you got?"
"The only thing I've got that's of note here is one of those Vladof Infinity pistols."
"Damn, that's pretty impressive. Where'd you get it?"
"It was a birthday gift from my best friend. He knew how much I've been running low on ammo every time I go out into the field. He even said to me, 'If you're somehow running out of bullets as a medic, you're doing something wrong.' Even gave me a few Storage Deck Upgrades just in case."
"Sounds like a good friend."
"He was. Too bad we barely get to talk anymore. He's off taking care of his family while I'm here taking of you guys. We kinda lost contact with each other after a while."
"Sorry 'bout that. So what'd you think about those aliens we fought? Some of them had some crazy ass powers. I think one of them had super speed since I saw one of them try to get out of my Norfleet's blast radius. The bastard was able to escape it somehow."
"It was unusual to see, but it looked like a select few had some of them. Hope there isn't like an entire organization of those guys with superpowers."
"Even if there is, I wouldn't too worried about it. Their bodies still seem very vulnerable to bullets and explosions. Plus we're badasses so they shouldn't pose a huge threat."
"I guess, but we should be cautious. These natives seem to have random powers and they could just happen to have the power to kill us with their mind. Just hope we don't find a siren on this planet."
"There could be only six in the universe at the time, right? I already know that two of them are at Sanctuary, even saw them in person while visiting the place before it went airborne."
"That might be the case, but we've only discovered six galaxies so far. What if there might be one in each galaxy?"
"I wouldn't worry about it. Besides, an entire galaxy is pretty big and it'll be an extremely slim chance there's actually one on this planet."
"I guess you're right. It'd be absurd if we actually found one here-"
The two Lancemen were interrupted by some loud growling in the distance. Clayton and Anna stopped in their tracks and pulled out their weapons. Clayton just pulled out his Hydra since forest fires wouldn't be the best thing in the world right now. I mean, who would even think of using a fire weapon in such a dense forest? Only an idiot would even think of doing something like that.
As the growling got louder, Jax fired his Norfleet in the direction of the growling. The growling soon stopped, but there was a huge amount of destroyed trees now. Jax cursed to himself when he heard people shouting in the distance. Jax soon investigated the shouting and saw heavily armed men that didn't have the Crimson Lance or Atlas logo. The armed men soon noticed Jax and said, "Look at that beautiful weapon! I call dibs on it!"
Jax immediately knew that this was bandit talk and fired another shot from his Norfleet. They were only a pile of gibs after that. Jax soon checked around the area for any other bandits. He heard more shouting in the distance and called the others. A small team of bandits was investigating the explosion and when they saw the Crimson Lancemen, they opened fire. Thanks to their high-quality gear, they were able to tank the bullets.
Anna took out her plasma blades and began cutting through the bandits. One of them tried to block her attacks with his shield (an actual one), but her blades were able to cut through him as easily as the others. Clayton began loaded his shotgun with cryo shells and froze each bandit with one shot. He took out his hatchet and was able to smash them into tiny bits. Jax went ahead to the camp to stop the source of the bandits in the area. With a pull from the trigger, his Norfleet completely destroyed the entire camp. Leo was testing the effects of his cryo and corrosive Infinity pistol on live test subjects. As they slowly froze to death, their entire bodies were slowly dissolving until they were frozen green puddle.
When everyone made sure that the bandits in the area were dead, they continued on their trek to Hopeville. They didn't run into any hostile wildlife, but for some reason, there were some animals that were supposed to be extinct on Earth. Not like there was anything alive on that barren planet anymore. After a few hours, the sun shining down on our heroes and they were able to find their way to Hopeville. Just outside the walls of the town, there were a lot of other crew members and Crimson Lance sitting in their camps. One of the crew members greeted them and asked for their name.
The Crimson Lancemen told them their names and he wrote them down on a clipboard. He soon ran back into the camp and our heroes soon followed him. Jax and Leo sat down together and began talking about their lives. Anna and Clayton decided to stay nearby but were too nervous or shy to talk to anyone. Leo was able to get them to introduce themselves and learn their names. Other than that, it was mostly a quiet afternoon
"Alright everyone, the situation may look grim, but we've all been in worse situations. It looks like everyone was able to escape alive, but there are a few missing. It's been a few hours and I think it's safe to say they're dead. Since everyone from the command is dead, all authority of the expedition has been over to me. All of you are going to have to take orders from me from now on. So I've got good news and bad news. The good news is, I scouted out the town and found everyone in Hopeville is dead. The bad news is, the things that killed the townsfolk are still in there. I need a team of four Crimson Specialist to clear out the town. I've run into those black creatures in the forest and I don't everyone getting eaten. Plus, four Crimson Specialist should be able to clear out the town easily. I'll need Lance Rocketeer Jax, Lance Assassin Anna, Lance Combat Medic Leo, and Lance Pyro Clayton to clear out the town. The rest of us will be out here making sure no other of those black creatures get into the town."
Our heroes were surprised that they would be working together again and opened the large wooden gates to the town. When they got inside, there were various corpses everywhere. All of them horribly mutilated and eaten from whatever godforsaken creature killed them. As they walked around town, they heard the familiar growl of the creatures they heard back in the forest. In fear of accidentally destroying the town, Jax put away his Norfleet in favor of his Unkempt Harold.
Everyone made sure their guns were loaded and saw the creatures that destroyed Hopeville. Their red pulsating eyes began glowing in the darkness were examining its new prey. As they walked out of the shadows, their pitch black fur and scales were contrasted by the bony pure white armor they had. They looked very similar to the werewolves you would see on a few planets, but with a more deadly edge to it. Jax fired his Unkempt Harold at the pack of black-furred werewolves and their white armor shattered into tiny pieces. The body parts of the werewolves soon turned to black ash and spirited away up into the air. This attracted the attention of more of these creatures and our heroes were ready for action.
Leo set up his healing station in the center of town and was able to find a 'Dust' shop. When he saw bullets on one of the displays, he breaks the windows and loots the stores. They had the same elemental bullets they found in the camp they landed in and he was able to give some to his teammates. He stayed near his healing station to protect it from the black creatures. He loaded an incendiary bullet into his Infinity. He began burning and melting anything that came near him. A few of those werewolves tried to get to him, but they were simultaneously melted and burned before they can even touch him.
Jax was firing wildly into a crowd of these strange black boar creatures. They all were spinning like a certain blue hedgehog before they spun towards Jax. He was able to destroy the armor protecting their squishy insides and blew them to smithereens. Jax soon heard the sounds of hissing and saw a giant two-headed snake and saw that one side was more heavily armored than the other. He decided to shoot at the none armor side of the snake first and when the explosives made contact with the snake, it made a loud squishing noise. Jax soon took out a Stinkpot Jakobs rifle and melted through the other half's armor. There were no remains of the snake that turned to ash after that.
Anna was fighting this giant gorilla monster and was perfectly dodging it's slow and powerful attacks. She was able to run up the gorilla's arm and ram her plasma blades into its eyes and use them as an anchor. It screamed out in pain and was trying to shake Anna off of it. She was able to stay on the Gorilla's head and as it roared out in pain, she dropped a MIRV grenade into its mouth. It soon blew up into tiny little pieces and the gorilla turned to ash. Anna soon said a corny as hell one-liner when the gorilla died, "King Kong ain't got shit on me bitches!"
Clayton was burning any and all opposition with ease with his flamethrower. Though he was a little upset that there wasn't any elemental fuel for his flamethrower, it didn't change the fact that these monsters were burning as easily as any other person would. As every single creature was burning to a crisp, Clayton couldn't tell if that was smoke he was seeing or the black ashes of the monsters. Either way, he was able to take care of the smaller hoards of pests to a crisp.
When the entire town was clear of monsters, large amounts of black ash soon floated up into the air and the others didn't even break a sweat. Each Lancemen soon checked each building for any of those creatures or if there survivors. There were only a few of those black monsters, but there were no other survivors hiding in their homes. After the town was cleared, the Lancemen soon left the town to tell the captain of their success.
After telling the captain that Hopeville was clear of those black monsters, everyone began moving into the town. The construction workers began rebuilding the town, the researchers were in the library to research any information on this planet, and the Crimson Lance were guarding the town. The captain replaced the town's flag with both the Crimson Lance flag and the Atlas Corporation flag. A few engineers were assigned with setting up the radio beacon so that the captain can contact Atlas about their findings.
Leo was with the other medic with patching up and healing anyone who was injured during the journey to Hopeville. Jax took his jetpack to the repairmen that were uninjured. Anna was sent on a scouting mission to see if there was any more civilization nearby. Clayton was in the Dust shop and was helping the researchers test out the applications of Dust with their elemental weapons. Everyone was setting up a base in Hopeville and things were looking up for the Crimson Lance. But somewhere else on the world, Hyperion has also landed on this planet.
Somewhere in a rural village...
In a small and idyllic village, the locals were just going on their daily and peaceful lives. The farmers were harvesting this season's harvest, the teachers were teaching the children in the village, and local merchants were selling their wares. They soon saw a beautiful and rare meteor shower and saw various meteors crash near the village. A few townsfolk went into the forest to investigate and they heard a deep humming noise. Soon they saw something arise from the meteor and saw a large yellow robot that said only one thing.
"Disabling first law."

"And that's the end of this chapter of our story. Now get to bed, we got work tomorrow."
"Alright, Marcus. We'll continue this story tomorrow night right? I wanna see how this ends."
"Of course, I'm not just gonna leave this story unfinished. Now go! I seriously need your help to run the shop."
"Alright, good night grandpa."
"Heh, good night to you little scamp."
Author's Note: Hey there and thanks for reading to the end of my story. If you got any questions or critiques of the story, be sure to write a review to tell me what I can improve on or need to clarify. The main characters of this story also won't be attending Beacon or any of the other academies. The characters are grown adults and are some of the biggest badasses in Borderlands that aren't playable characters.
There will also be more major character deaths and I'll give you a hint of the first one: She's a bitch and we're in a forest filled with bandits.
Hope you have a wonderful rest of your day and I'll see you when I decide to upload :D
