Rhys' POV

"Oh come on Vaughn!" I said. "Don't be such a wuss!" Vaughn stared at me as we walked through the halls of Helios, passing by many Hyperions.

"I don't think that it is such a good idea to go to the Purple Skag." Vaughn mentioned.

"And why not?!"

"Because it's in Pandora!" Vaughn put emphasis on the 'Pandora' part.

"But it was kinda fun last time we went to Pandora. We met some new people at the Purple Skag. I wanna visit there again." I scanned Vaughn's portable computer with my ECHO-eye.

"If you MUST know what I am doing on here. I think I have found a Vault key." Vaughn said as he deposited his computer into his locker as we passed by it.

"Really? We gonna go get it?" I asked. Vaughn sighed,

"Maybe. But problem is, it's in Pandora."

"Yea! Lets go to Pandora!" I said cheerfully. I shoved Vaughn towards a car.

"Woah woah woah! Isn't this Yvette's car?" Vaughn asked. I shrugged and jumped into the drivers side. Vaughn mumbled something and got into the passenger side reluctantly. "I can't get 20 million dollars..." Vaughn said.

"20 million? They want that much for the vault key!?" I complained. "Can't you know. Just 'steal' it from Hyperion?"

"I can't! We've taken too much." Vaughn said. "Look I might be able to get it tomorrow. Hyperion are doing some maintenance calls so they won't be taking too much notice with their money." I nodded and used my ECHO-eye to start the car. Vaughn shook his head and said, "Yvette is soooo gonna kill us." I shrugged it off and drove down towards Pandora. We crashed onto the surface of the exotic planet and drove down the sands of Pandora. I ran over a couple of Skags and I got an earful from Vaughn about being 'murderers'. I slowed down the car and looked out the window, we were in the middle of a desert. "Why did you stop?" Vaughn questioned.

"Errrr. I think we're lost." I confessed.

"Oh great. That's just great." Laughter could be heard from some sand dunes. I opened the car door slowly and stepped out. "What are you doing?" Vaughn asked as he got out of the car.

"Looks like these fellas are lost here." Said a man who came from behind one of the sand dunes. I put my hand behind my back and pulled out my stun baton. I armed it a pointed it at the man. A lot more people with masks came from all directions, "Bandits!" Vaughn mentioned.

"Come on boys! Give us all your loot." said one of the bandits. "Time to clock in." "YEEHAW!" we heard a few bandits shout out. I pulled up my robotic arm and quickly called Yvette.

"Yvette!" I shouted.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Why did you take my car!?" Yvette shouted.

"Now is not the time Yvette! I need a loader bot, PRONTO!" I said.

"What makes you think that I will send one?" She said.

"Me and Vaughn are surrounded by ban-" I was cut off when a huge loader bot crashed down on some of the bandits.

"Hi." The robotic voice came from loader bot.

"Er. Thanks and sorry about the car. I'll get it back to ya!" I said as I hung up.

"Shoot em!" One bandit said. Me and Vaughn dived behind the car as the sound of the bullets hit the metal.

"Tell it to do something!" Vaughn complained. I pulled up the loader bot menu and armed it with rocket launchers and a shield.

"Get them loader bot!" I shouted.

"Stop! Thieves!" Loader bot said robotcally as he started to shoot multiple rockets at them, and hit others with his shield. More and a more bandits started to turn up. Two bandits jumped me and Vaughn from in front of us,

"Now just give us your loot." One of them said as they aimed their gun at us.

"Woah. Come on. We can work something out!" I tried to assure them. The bandits groaned and armed their guns. Suddenly, they were both shot dead. Vaughn and I's eyes were wide.

"Need a hand?!" Came a woman's voice as they zoomed by on a motorbike, it was Fiona's voice. The motorbike came to a stop and on the motorbike were Fiona and Sasha. With Fiona driving and Sasha on the back.

"I coulda handled that!" I shouted.

"Sure you could!" Sasha replied as she jumped from the motorbike and ran over to loader bot, she started to shoot some of the bandits. Loader bot used his sheilf to fend off some of the bandits and used his rockets to get rid of some others. Fiona got off the motorbike and rested the motorbike against a nearby rock.

All the bandits had either been brutally murdered or they had fled.

"So. What are you doing in the middle of the desert?" Fiona asked.

"Ya know. Taking in the scenery." I made up an excuse.

"We're lost." Vaughn said simply. I facepalmed myself and Sasha said,

"Of course you are. I take it that Rhys was driving." I groaned and got back into the car. Fiona sighed and came up to the window.

"Where you planning on going?" She asked. I looked forward and didn't answer. She mocked, "Come on Rhys. We all get lost now and again."

"God he's stubborn isn't he?" Sasha said. Vaughn shrugged,

"Yeah. I guess you could say that."

"Wow. Thanks Vaughn." I said. "If you must know. We were trying to get to the Purple Skag." Fiona rolled her eyes and said,

"Come on. Just follow us, we live near there." Vaughn got into the passenger side and said,

"Come on Rhys. Just follow em." I sighed and put my left hand on the wheel and used my robotic arm to tell Loader Bot to go back to Pandora. Fiona and Sasha got onto the motorcycle,

"Hopefully you can keep up!" Sasha called out as Fiona started to drive the motorcycle down the dusty terrain. I quickly put Yvette's car into drive and followed them into the depths of the desert.

I scanned the surroundings using my ECHO-eye as we drove through the desert, just in case anymore bandits were around. We finally made it to some sort of town on Pandora and the roads were clogged by either idiots, psychos, pandorans or bandits.

"Great. This is just great. We aren't going anywhere in this car." I said as I got out.

"You can't just leave the car here." Vaughn exclaimed as he exited the car.

"Well what else do you want me to do?" I said as I motioned towards the endless pile of cars filled with Pandorans that surrounded us. Fiona came towards us and said,

"Looks like we're walking from here." Sasha then came over and sighed,

"It's not too far from here. We can come back later and pick up the car."

"Alright." I said as me and Vaughn followed Fiona and Sasha to the Purple Skag. "Hopefully August isn't there. After he found out about the fake vault key..." Sasha said nervously.

"Yeah about that... We may have a found a REAL vaul-" I cut Vaughn off by putting a hand over his mouth.

"What? A REAL vault key?" Fiona said as she stopped in her tracks. I groaned and said,

"Er no. Where did you get the idea that we know of the whereabouts of a vault key?" She glared at me and walked closer,

"So where is this 'vault key'?" Sasha asked. I sighed and let go of Vaughn's mouth, Vaughn said,

"It's on the other side of Pandora. A guy wants 20 million dollars for it."

"That is a lot of money." Fiona said. I stared at Fiona's features, she looked like the kinda person you could ask for directions from but then again, inside she would probably blow your brains out. "As much as I'd LOVE for you to stare at me all day, but aren't we supposed to be heading to the Purple Skag?" I coughed awkwardly and we started to follow Fiona to the Purple Skag.
