A/N Hi, everyone Marthonious here, This is the first fan fiction I've uploaded to this site. It is based on one of my favorite games and is my take on how it REALLY happened. (cause let's be honest the campaign story in the game is focused only on one unspecified Vault hunter). I shall cover all the campaign and the DLCS as well as all the playable characters and even my own personal class creation. I will also be delving into the origin of everyone's favorite assassin Zero and have done it in a way that will satisfy everyone. Our story begins at the end of Kriegs introduction movie in Maya's point of view. (I struggled a lot trying to decide where to start) looking forward to all your comments and revues, and so without further ado let the story of Pandora begin...
Maya's POV
"Uuuummm...excuse me miss?" I heard behind me.
I turned to see a man behind me (I assumed it was a man judging by his voice). I couldn't see his face because it was covered by a helmet, but he was clearly a Hyperion employee judging by the color scheme of his clothing and the logo on his jacket. He was holding some device in his hands looking down at it and then to me.
"Are you Maya?" he asked me nervously.
I raised an eyebrow "Who wants to know?"
I asked looking at him as I put my weapon back on my back.
He gulped "I'm the train conductor" he replied shaking obviously intimidated by me (as he should). I didn't trust the Hyperion corporation or any corporation for that matter. After being manipulated and used by the monks of the impending storm I, had no desire to be locked up and examined in some laboratory and tested on by guys in white coats. You'd think that would stop me from taking transport run by a corporation but to get to the Windshear Wastes (the area where the vault was said to be located) I would ether have to walk there through bandit territory, or take my chances or use the fast travel system, but since I didn't have the FT code for the Windshear Wastes my only other option was to take the Hyperion express. But so far Hyperion was playing nice, They hadn't sent bounty hunters after me or tried to trick me into a traps; so for the time being I gonna roll the dice and see what happens.
"Yeah, that's me" I answered proudly trying to intimidate him, letting my siren marks glow a bit as I said it. That made him quiver a little (hey I might be playing nice with them but I was still going to make them think twice before messing with me).
"Mmmmay...may I have your ticket please?" He asked holding out his shaking hand. I chuckled a little, this guy looked like he was ready to p*** himself.
"Sure" I replied reaching into my pocket and smiling, happy that I freaked him out . I pulled out my ticket and handed it to him. He took it gently then held the ticket up to the devices screen. A little ping sound came from it, verifying the the ticket was accepted. He started flicking devices's screen still trembling as he did then looked back up at me.
"Yyyou're...seat is in cart number 41" He told me.
"Thanks" I said about to walk away until he looked past me and asked "Aaand...you're friend?"
"Friend?" I thought before remembering the guy behind; I looked back at the psycho behind me. (That's what the people of Pandora called the white mask wearing, buzzaxe wielding, prison pants wearing type of people that wandered the borderlands) I didn't know if he was a psycho (don't get me wrong I faced and killed many guys that acted and dressed like him) but this guy seemed different, the way he slaughtered those rats to protect me proved it.
"Was he my friend?" I thought. We only just met but he did save my life (and then I saved his). I looked up at his face, his one good eye looking gently back at me. I gave him a smile "He might not be my friend...but it would be nice to have someone by my side I could trust...sort of" I said to myself. I looked back at the train conductor.
"Yeah he's with me" I said pointing my thumb back at him. "He dosen't have a ticket, though, but you'll still let him on the train with me right!?"
The train conductor looked at me shocked for a second before his device pinged and he looked down at it. He read what was on the screen then looked up at me and said "No, no problem at all" I didn't like the sound of that. Not only did he stop shaking like a leaf, but the way he said 'it wasn't a problem' made me think something was up, but before I had time to think about it he pushed some buttons on the screen and turned it towards me
"There you are...all set" he said all straight and proper. "Thanks" I replied subtly, I decided to play along...for now. I looked back at my Psycho and walked over to him. "Hey, aaaahhhh-" I began to say before I realized I didn't even know his name. I watched as he stared at me before asking. "What's your name?" I asked.
"Meeeeeaaaaaat?" He replied.
"No, no your name...naaaammmmee" I said slowly, hoping he understood.
"Blood drink!?" He answered.
I sighed in defeat, knowing I wasn't going to get legitimate answer. "Okay, how about I just call you Psycho for now...anyway I'm going on this train now but if you want to come with me I have no problem with that" I told him. He looked at me for a second before offering his hand to me. I smiled and took it, "This was going to be interesting!" I thought to myself.
I started leading my psycho to the train before the conductor stopped me. "Woah, miss your cart is a little down the way" He told me. I gave him a look.
"Why can't I bring him with me?" I asked a little irritated.
"Cart 41 is almost full but don't worry we have plenty room for him in one of the back carts" He explained playing with his device.
I narrowed my eyes at him for a second before turning back to my psycho. I waited until the conductor moved away a bit before talking. "Okay listen, their going to take you to the back of this train so keep a look out, I don't trust these guys and neither should you. If something happens fight your way out of wherever they put you and come find me" I told him feeling like I was explaining this to a child.
"N*** salads!" he replied.
I smiled, taking that random remark as a conformation then started walking towards my kart. I watched as his eyes followed me down. As I reached the doors, I taking one last look at him before entering Cart 41. When I entered, I heard a small noise to my right and turned to see the most dangerous looking turret I'd ever seen, pointing itself at me. I quickly turned on my shield and pulled out my pistol. "why now?" I asked myself but quickly shook the thought out of my head, it didn't matter, I was ready for anything Hyperion could throw at me.
A/N Hi guys, if your wondering why the first chapter looks different it is because I cut it in half to make a second chapter. So don't worry if you think that their was a problem. Thank you
