Chapter 1
It was an average day on the planet of Pandora. It was hot, it sucked, and there was just paranoia in your system to heighten your senses and keep you on edge for any skags, stalker, bandits and anything that wants to eat you up and shit you out.
Yup. Just another day.
While some poor sap somewhere was getting murdered, robbed, or both, a lone figure made their way toward a small train station In the middle of nowhere. If one cared enough to examine his appearance they would see he was a teenager with very dark brown hair, that looked black unless you examined it REALLY closely, and was long enough that strands of his hair was reaching his eyebrows. His eyes were hazel and his skin was a light tannish color. Despite the heat he wore an un-zipped black hoodie with the sleeves rolled up to his elbow and red accents on the hood lining and seams. Under that he wore crimson t-shit and a pair of black pants with one knee cap on his right knee and one elbow cap on his left elbow. He also had black sneakers with dark red laces, black fingerless gloves, and a black choker around his neck. He had a single strap backpack with three pins grouped together on the strap. He was carrying a Vladaf corrosive assault rifle and a Jakobs revolver strapped to the right of hip next to a baton and a small piece of thin, black metal with a glowing green light running through it.
Too bad the psycho running at him from behind didn't care enough to examine him. He didn't even check to see if the teen had any guns.
"STRIP THE FLESH, SALT THE WOUND! HAHAH-"Was the last words to come out of his mouth before the teen drew his revolver and, in one fluid motion, turned around a shot him in the head causing him to fall backward into a heap on to the ground. The teen stood there, still pointing his gun in the direction of the fallen psycho. Then he heard the sound of a sniper being fired and his heads-up display, or HUD, showed that the bullet hit him and drained a bit of his fire Nova shield. He quickly took cover behind a rock and reached for the black metal strip, or his 'backpack', and a Jakobs sniper rifle materialized in his hands while his assault rifle disappeared and re-appeared on his back. He waited a bit before popping out of cover for a second and took cover again just as the sniper fired again. This time the teen saw that the shot was fired from his left.
Found you. He thought as he readied his sniper. He popped out of cover and aimed in the general direction of the sniper and searched for his target. In a second the bandit fired another shot that the shield soaked up again. Despite this the teen stayed out of cover and aimed at the rock he saw the bandit take cover behind. In a few seconds the bandit, a Marauder, left his cover to try and take another shot at the teen only for the teen to fire first. Unlike him, the bandit apparently did not have a shield, evident by his head exploding. The teen stood up and entertained the thought of going over there and seeing what the guy had on him, but eventually shot it down like he shot that psycho. The train picking up vault hunters would be arriving soon, and he did not want to miss it.
With that thought in mind he made his way to the train station he could see was a little ways a way, going a little faster than before.
After a five minute walk he was about a stone throws away from his destination when he heard a male voice shout something along the lines of "TURN AROUND PRETTY LADY!" What the fuck. He thought as he picked up the pace and in about five seconds turned the corner to see a rather odd sight.
A Rat was suspended in the air by some black and blue energy ball hovering in front of a rather built shirtless man wearing bright orange pants, and a white and orange gas mask on his bald head with one whole uncovered to allow him to see and exposing his red eye. He had bandages wrapped around his right arm that covered it up to his elbow. Like his right arm, his left arm was covered in some sort of metal gauntlet and had some sort leather thing strapped to his back. He also had one knee-cap covering his right knee with a little space in between another piece of metal strapped around the lower portion of his leg while none covered his left leg where his own 'backpack' hung from his hip. He wore slate, steel tipped, boots. He was also carrying the biggest Buzz-Axe he had ever seen.
Is that a psycho? The teen couldn't help but think that. After all the man did fit the profile of one of Pandora's many dangerous inhabitants. The man turned his head behind him to look at a woman with blue lips and short blue hair that went a little past her chin. She was pale white, which was hard to do on a planet like Pandora, and had grey colored eyes. She wore a skin tight yellow and black suit of some sort with dark blue and grey cargo pants that was pulled down a little on the left side exposing a little skin. She had some sort of book strapped to her left hip. She was carrying a Maliwan shock SMG in her hands. However, what caught the teen's attention were the light blue marks running down her left arm and, presumably, the whole left side of her body.
A Siren? He didn't look it, but he was surprised. Sirens are hard to come by, only be six sirens can exist simultaneously in the universe after all. The man turned back toward the floating Rat and jumped toward it, Buzz-Axe poised to tear him apart.
Everything after that wasn't a pretty picture.
After the deed was done the man turned toward the Siren and yelled something about cocktails and ribcages and she offered him a small smile. By this time the teen got a bit closer than before and was a couple feet away from the two and the siren noticed him and gave him a small nod of greeting and he returned it.
"Hey." She said.
"Hello." He said quietly. There was silence.
"So…what's your name?" She asked.
"Kane. Your's?" He asked
"Maya." She looked to the man. "What about you big guy? What do we call you?" He was silent for a moment before he loudly shouted.
"KREIG IS THE CONDUCTOR OF THE POOP TRAN!" Kane raised an eyebrow. Poop train? This man is a psycho. And apparently his name was Krieg.
"Nice to meet you Krieg." She said with a small smile "And you too Kane." Kane nodded and looked at her.
"So, what's a siren doing here on Pandora?" he asked. This planet sucked, after all. Most people avoid Pandora because of that reason. The bandits and the wildlife made this place a hellhole.
"I'm here to find the vault." He chuckled.
"I figured that much." He Said. "I mean the reason."
"I'm here to learn more about my siren heritage." Kane raised an eyebrow.
"And you're willing to die for it?" She nodded her head. He turned toward Krieg. "What about you? Why are you looking for it?"
"NIPPLE SALAD!" He shouted. Kane just looked at him then turned toward Maya.
"Is he always like this?" She giggled and shrugged.
"Don't know. I just met him." He just nodded and walked toward the train. Just as he was about to step on to the train she asked:
"What about you?" Kane turned around to look at her.
"What about me?"
"Why are you looking for the Vault?" He was silent and stared at her. Maya started to feel a bit uncomfortable under his gaze. Fearing she might have over stretched her bonds, she went to apologies only to stop when he answered the question.
"I don't have a reason." He said before walking on to the train with Maya following suit and Krieg following her shortly after
Kane sighed as he sat down on the floor of the train. He was tried because he didn't sleep since yesterday because he wanted to get to the train station as early as possible. Right now he was on train cart with the Siren and Psycho from earlier and a few other people as well.
One of the people was a short man with blue hair and bread. He had a Band-Aid over his noise and had a scar on the left side of his forehead. He had dirt brown eyes and an orange shirt that has seen better days with holes in it exposing a white shirt under it. Over that he had some holsters that had some bullets on it and two piece of metal with bullets on it too. He had blue pants with an orange bandana wrapped around his left thigh. His had a fingerless glove on his left and a metal bracelet on his right wrist. He wore boots that resemble old cowboy boots.
Another was a girl around his age with light orange hair that was tied into pigtails and had a pair of googles resting upon her hair. She had bright emerald eyes and a Band-Aid on her right cheek. She wore a choker on and had a blue sleeveless hoodie that was zipped up to her breasts which exposed a white skull on a red t-shirt that had the right sleeve torn down a little thus exposing her shoulder. She had a belt with a Vault symbol, hammer, wrench, lunchbox, and her own 'backpack' on it. Under the belt she had a red skirt and black and white stocking under that. She had blue sneakers with red laces and had a wrench in a holster strapped to her calves. She had fingerless gloves on her right hand. The most eye catching feature, however, was that her left arm was robotic.
Another was a man that looked like a he served in the military. He had dark green eyes and dirty blonde hair and some sort of mark on the left side of his forehead. His outfit comprised of the color brown and they were a short sleeved jacket that was zipped up all the way. It had a patch that looked like a skull on the left sleeve. He had a pair of cargo pants in with his own 'backpack' strapped to his thigh. He had a pair of boots with some sort of metal strapped to it. He had a single strap backpack on and had a camera of some sort on his right shoulder.
The last was a man (Or woman?)Who had a black and white stealth suit with a red zero on the left breastplate and a mask. He had a 'backpack' and a sword strapped to his hip. There wasn't much to say about him except for the piece of metal jutting out of his elbow. (AN/ I won't have Zer0 talk in haiku whenever he is speaking. Sorry. Maybe sometimes, but not always.)
Kane took a look at the sign over the train cart door that had a picture of Handsome Jack with the words: Welcome Vault Hunters. He shook his head and was about to close his eyes and fall asleep until he heard the sound of a machine starting up in the direction of the door.
Kane, and the rest of the occupants of the cart, turned toward the sound and saw a couple of Loaders form and the sign fall down revealing a new message. TO YOUR DOOM (Nothing Personal).
Kane was to his feet in an instance with his Vladaf rifle drawn. He opened fire on the bots and after a few shots one of them fell only for another to take its place. He was about to reload and continue the onslaught when a rocket few past and blew up a small group of loaders near Maya. Kane turned around and found that it was the solider that fired it. He also noticed that there was a turret on the ceiling above him.
Kane then turned his head toward Maya just in time to see her lift a loader into the air and throw through a wall and out the train. The next thing confused Kane for a second. The small man was hanging outside the cart for some ungodly reason and came back in through the hole, caused by the loader that went flying, and then wielded two Gatling guns and fired into the crowd behind Kane.
Kane shook his head and took notice to two combat engineers on the roof of a cart a little ways away. They seemed to be heading toward the man in the stealth suit. He raised his rifle and fired in attempt to get them but they were too far for his rifle actually reaching them without them going anywhere but straight. He was going to switch to his sniper to actually hit them, but before he could the Engineers reached the man and hit him only for him to disappear. He then reappeared behind one of them and impaled him up to the hilt. Then he jumped on the hilt and flipped over the other Engineer as he turned around to see what was going on. As he was getting closer to the ground, the man spun his body around so he could plant both feet on the back of the Engineer so he could push him into the blade that was sticking out of the chest of the Engineer he impaled previously.
Kane stopped looking at the scene and turned around only to duck under the fist of a Combat Engineer. He drew his revolver and grabbed the extended arm and pulled the poor man toward him. Kane let go of the arm as he stepped aside to let the Engineer take his place near the edge of the hole. Kane then kicked him in the back and out the train just as it passed a chasm. He looked down at the falling Engineer and shouted.
"DON'T FORGET TO WRITE, MOTHERFUCKER!" He turned around and came face-to-face with a PWNER Loader, Blades spinning and ready to cut him into tiny little pieces. He was backing away and actually thought about jumping off the train and follows his Friend to hell.
It was probably less painful than being made into sushi.
Just as the robot was an arm length away from him and he was about to an inch away from falling to his doom, a blue claw came out of its midriff. It fell to the ground to reveal a floating robot torso with the girl standing next to it with a smirk on her face.
"Need help?" Kane rolled his eyes and grinned slightly.
"No, I had him on the ropes. Were you not watching? "He said sarcastically. Her smirk turned into a grin as well.
"I was. I was watching you get scared shitless." He was about to retort when a combat engineer came up behind her and attempted to punch her. He made to warn her when the engineer was suddenly burned in the face by a red laser. He turned to the source to see the floating robot looking in the corpse's general direction. More Loaders and Engineers came at them and the robot made quick work of them using methods varying from lasers to claws to spinning wit said claws outstretched.
Kane looked to the girl standing next to him and causally said. "Cool Robot."
She smiled. "Thanks."
"So, what's your name?"
"Gaige. Your's?"
"Kane."
As the two talked, they failed to notice another Engineer, who somehow made it past the Bot and was sneaking up on the two unsuspecting teens. Just he was about to strike he heard a shout.
"HAHAHAHAHAH. MEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAT!" That was the last sound the engineer heard before being lobotomized via Buzz-Axe. Krieg removed the weapon and moved past the two teens to join the Robot in a symphony of blood and bolts.
After a couple minutes the cart was devoid of hostiles and was painted a new blood red color. The seven vault hunters made their way toward a door in the cart and solider was the first one to make it to the door. He turned toward everyone as everyone approached him.
"You guys ready?" Everyone nodded and he kicked the door open. What was behind it made everyone pale significantly.
The next cart was full of explosives and in the center was a chair that turned slowly to reveal a mannequin that resembled Handsome Jack.
[It's cute y'all think you the heroes of this little story,] A recording said [But you're not.] Everyone turned tail and ran to put as much distance between them and the Explosives. [Welcome to Pandora, kiddos!] Then the bombs went off.
AN/ Hope you guys liked it. If you have any tips, please tell me especially for things like dialog.
