It was a cold morning in Sanctuary. The screams of bored bandits could be heard, but just barely.
Zero walked out of the Crimson Raiders HQ. He required a challenge, since the defeat of Handsome Jack and The Warrior. He went down to Marcus' gun shop.
"If it isn't my favorite customer!" Marcus said.
"I would like to see/Your latest acquisition./In the 'sniper' range," Zero said, robotic as ever.
"You know you aren't really my favorite customer, right?" Marcus asked, reaching down for some digistruct modules.
"Marcus, I request/That you simply get the guns./And then I pay you," Zero said, a frown-emoticon appearing on his helmet.
"Here," Marcus began, digistructing a Maliwan Fire Sniper Rifle, "It's a Maliwan, Legendary, Barking Volcano. Set the world on fire, eh?"
"Maybe I'll use you./To blow a midget's head off./Or maybe I won't," Zero said. He took it, paid Marcus the $2,540,986 (yeah, Zero's freaking rich in this story), and left. Zero went back into the Crimson Raiders HQ, and noticed that Tannis had an "!" over her head.
"Ah, Zero. Grab the other Vault Hunters, I have something for you to do," Tannis said, not making eye (visor?) contact with Zero. Zero went upstairs, woke-up everybody, and brought them back down to Tannis.
"I have done some research," Tannis began, professionally, "And I have found out about something even more powerful than The Warrior, which threatens all of Pandora. Naturally, I want you to kill it. I hope you have the Eridium required to access its layer."
So, the Vault Hunters traveled to Thousand Cuts. They simply ran past all the Slabs, and went to the lair of Terramorphous the Invincible. Zero placed four Eridium down on a small pillar in the middle of a cave. The pillar began sinking, and the door to the cave opened.
The six walked in. Krieg commented on the smell inside the cave multiple times, and Gaige commented on how the bridge they crossed was very unsteady.
"Hurry up! Guys, we have to kill this thing, otherwise everyone on Pandora could die," Axton said, getting annoyed. "...Including us!"
Zero simply got bored. He had been at Terramorphous Peak for hours before Axton said anything. Zero was desperately seeking a challenge, and Terramorphous the Invincible was what Zero was looking for.
Once everyone was at Terramorphous Peak, everyone bought ammo. Then, one-by-one, the six dropped to Terramorphous Peak, where someone was already fighting. He said one thing to them: "Nevermore."
