MY FIRST STORYYYYY! nobody cares! yay!
*ahem* so, I've been reading different fanfic's for quite awhile now, and decided to make my own one… about my favourite game! BORDERLANDS 2! foopin' yeah. I'm so buying season pass as soon as I've got 2400 microsoft pts. *drools* but that's not important! on with the sto- oh I forgot.
DISCLAIMER: I OWN NONE OF THIS SHIT EXCEPT MY OC'S!
This story is oc-centered, the "two main character's" names are Dante and Jay. thought you'd like to know.
if you actually read the disclaimer, you will find out that I'm using an OC. yay! and now, on with the story.
(A/N THIS IS MY OC! NOTHING HERE IS EVEN REMOTELY RELATED TO ME. just thought I'd clarify that up. Description: 5'7" feet high 17 years old, jet black messy hair, three scars going over his left eye ( more about those later). also has a nice bodybuild that comes from his weight lifting and other exercises he does daily. usually wears black, green, white or red clothing. currently is wearing olive green cargo pants, sandals and a polo shirt with black and red cubes on it. likes gaming, computers, cosplaying, hacking, true friends and being sarcastic. dislikes too much noise and abusing. ( in any form of the word )
I'm sitting on the bus, alone, as usual. I'm kind of a social outcast. but I don't mind, I have a few good friends and that's enough for me, it sucks that none of them live near my place… so I just spend my evenings either doing some weight lifting, playing on my xbox 360, or surfing the internet.
the bus has just stopped and I start moving from my place on the bus and started walking towards one of the doors. One of the guy's on the bus tried to trip me, but I just stepped over his leg. immature people, truly.
as I started my 2 kilometer walk towards home, I started wondering when the last DLC pack for borderlands 2 was coming out. I wouldn't buy it though, oh no. I'd buy the season pass and get all the DLC's in one go. ( yes, I know that you don't need to wait for them all to be out until you can order the season pass )
some months ago I had bought the borderlands 1 GOTY editon. had played it like a madman till I was level 69 on every character except brick, who is currently 63. I might as well level him up a few levels once I get home. or just get my gunzerker In borderlands 2 to level 50. all of the other's are already 50.
"about 1 kilometer left…" I thought to myself and tried to pick up my pace, as it had started to rain slightly.
"I wonder what it'd be like to be in one of the borderlands games… hell, it'd be fun to go around killing bandit's and kicking handsome jack's ass! But… it'd be pretty damn dangerous, too…" I shouted into the air, muttering the last part to myself and starting to run at the same time, because the nice little drip-drops of rain had just turned into the biggest outdoor shower ever. not funny.
"Damn it, keys, where are you?" I asked myself, ( or my keys ) as I couldn't find them from my pockets, but then I remembered that I had put them inside my backpack because some assholes had tried to steal them. again.
"Aha! here they are." I said outloud as I took my keys from the smallest pocket of my pack. I positioned the key inside, and twisted it until I heard the audible click resounding from the lock, indicating the door was open now.
"Home sweet home." I muttered to myself as I put down my pack and started making my way upstairs – to my xbox.
"I'll postpone my weight-lifting for today. I'll just do my regular course twice tomorrow." I thought and started my xbox up. "maybe I'll get Salvador to 50 first, and then brick to 69." Removing the borderlands 1 cd and putting inside the borderlands 2 one, I sat down in my recliner chair and began to wait as the familiar starting screen popped up. I switched my character from zer0 to Salvador. Zer0 was always my favourite. I've always been one for the sneaky, mysterious characters. that's probably why I got mordecai to level 69, and zer0 to 50 first.
I pushed the "A" button on the controller and the vault hunter mark popped up giving me the regular "this mark shows up, game is saving, don't shut down console, blah blah blah." and so on.
but something… odd… happened. my gunzerker didn't start from the dust, where I left him. he was in a room. a square room with a huge-ass TV in front of him. "the fuck? where the hell am I? why isn't Salvador in the dust?" I thought to myself and watched as the TV in my TV ( A/N TVCEPTION! ) turned on and it showed the face of handsome jack.
"what the hell do you mean you can't get this U-T-C system to work ?! I want to find a super soldier powerful enough to wipe all of those vault hunter's off the map!" handsome jack shouted
"the actual fuck?" I said out loud and jack froze for a moment, then turned towards an engineer I hadn't noticed before. "Did you say that? or was it one of you guys? You know i don't like it when people curse, unless it's me! So stop Fucking doing it!" I saw him pointing and shouting at other people. engineers, presumably, that weren't inside the screen for me to see. "no sir, the systems indicate that the voice came from the new U-T-C system, sir." somebody outside the screen responded in a hurried, slightly panicked tone of voice. "so the system IS working?!" handsome jack shouted. "YES! hey, you, guy in the screen, can you see me? hear me? cause we here can't see you." he said in a hurried tone, that quite much implied that he didn't wish to wait too long for an answer. "yeah, I can see AND hear you. and the one guy behind your left shoulder." whilst I said that, I saw Salvador… disappear from the room, but the screen still stayed there.
"oh, that? he's Mick. one of my mid-class engineers. But that isn't important at the moment! the important thing here is, that we've gained connection to another universe! To another plane of existence!" jack shouted out loud, a hint of insanity evident in his voice.
"what the fuck is going on here? this shouldn't be happening… and another plane of existence? how interesting… we'll see where this goes" I thought so myself and said: "that's quite a huge thing to do, but why did you want a connection to another universe?" he seemed to think for a moment. Quite likely trying to come up with a lie. "I wouldn't really believe what he'd say, anyway. I mean, game's main villain? like hell I'd believe him. "well, uhm… the Hyperion corporation, which's president I am, want to extend an olive branch into other universes and see them blossom! to become as intelligent as we are! so, we are going to transport a fast travel station there, is that acceptable?" he asked, but knowing that even if I declined, he'd still get the thing here…
"but a fast travel station? would that mean I'd be able to travel to places like sanctuary or so from here? no, wait, that shouldn't be basically possible, considering I've never been there…" "a fast travel station? the name indicates that you can use it for moving purposes… does this mean that I could use it, too?" I asked, trying to keep my voice as monotone as possible. "technically, yes. but as you're from a different universe, I'm not exactly sure how that travel would work. it might even kill you." jack answered from the screen inside my TVwith an unreadable expression on his face. I didn't like that.
"i… see… but it'd still be pos-" I was cut off by the engineer who was standing behind jack. "i-it seems that if you'd do that travel, you'd also move in time by 3 years. you'd come here, but you'd be on a planet called "Pandora" and-" I watched as jack shot the engineer, presumably to silence him. "you are not to inform random people in other universes of anything like this. UNDERSTOOD?!" he shouted to the other engineers, which I still couldn't see. "I assume they're nodding, considering I'm not hearing any speaking… they must be too scared to actually respond with words." I thought to myself, and watched as jack Digistructed the weapon to… where-ever he keeps his items, I suppose.
"So, if you won't mind it too much, we'd like you to…come over, I suppose. see how the travel works and so on." as he said this, a mini-fast travel station started to materialize in my room. "might want to pack your stuff up, if you're actually up for this. if you're not, no worries. we'll just move the station to somewhere else. you have 24 hours to decide. if we notice the device has been used, we'll un-digistruct it and that's that." when he finished, the screen went black, and my xbox turned off...
But the station remained there. in my room, as if it had always been there. "wait a moment. they were looking for a super soldier, and now they want ME to go on Pandora? I'm in no ways a super soldier! and the damn thing shut down before I could ask any questions… goddammit, jack." what should I do? this is a once in a life time chance… far smaller than winning a lottery, for hell's sake! I could do all kinds of badass stuff on Pandora… "wonder if I could get a friend there, too? hell, why not?" with that thought, I rushed downstairs to find my phone.
After a few minutes of vigorous searching, I finally found it, and decided to call my best friend since kindergarten: Jay. *beep* *beep* *beep* "come on, man. answer!" finally, after about 20 seconds he finally answered. "sup, Dante?" I heard my friends groggy voice come from my phone. the guy sleeps most of his free-time. probably woke him up just now. "listen, something completely badass has just happened. be at my place yesterday, and also, bring everything you'll need for a very, very ,VERY long trip. possibly a trip that will end only when we die. " I said quickly and shut down my phone, so that he wouldn't spend 2 hours trying to call me back and ask what's happening." he'd be here faster this way too" and with that thought I rushed back upstairs, to pack up lots of stuff I know I'll use whilst in Pandora.
* 3 hours later.*
so, after 2 hours of packing and 1 hour of waiting for Jay, I finally heard the doorbell ringing. Rushing downstairs and opening the front door to let him in, I saw him carrying a huge-ass backpack. he really prepares a lot when you tell him to. "so what's this hassle all about?" he asked me looking slightly peeved.
( DESCRIPTION OF JAY: 5'8" feet tall, 18 years old, short bedhead hair. also has a decent bodybuild like Dante. favours yellow/white clothing, currently wearing a white hoodie, black jeans and a t-shirt that's visible under the hoodie. loves games, good music, cosplaying and computers. Dislikes spoiled people and bicycles.
"well, when I was just about to get my gunzerker to level 50, something odd happened. the gunzerker didn't start from the dust, where I recall leaving him, but instead he was in a huge-ass room with a big, black TV screen. suddenly, the screen flickered on, and the face of handsome jack came up, and he started babbling about contacting other universes, and then they somehow digistructed a fucking fast travel station in my room, it's one of those one-trip stations that you see in boss areas." I said in one breath, watching his eyes widen all the time.
"Now, now. maybe you hit your head too hard. again." he said and started leading me to my living room in the downstairs and was about to set me down on the sofa when I shouted: "NO! I'm not going bat-shit crazy at the moment here. there seriously is a fast travel station upstairs!" as I said this I grabbed his wrist and started leading him upstairs. when we were there I let go off his arm and he was gaping at the station like a fish. "see? I'm not mad!" I shouted with joy and started doing a random dance around my room whilst my friend still kept on gaping at the fast travel station. after a few minutes of that, I stopped my dance and hit him over the head to get him stop the gaping.
"Stop gaping like a fish. the important things are these: if we go to Pandora, we'll land in a time three years before the happenings of Borderlands 2. or that's what I gathered from the engineer jack shot. and, as you can see, this is a one-way station. There's no coming back after this. What I'm asking is, would you come with me, to Pandora? off of this hellhole of a planet?"
The main reason we've been best friends for so long, is because both of our lives were full of shit. But that's a story for another time. "HELL YEAH!" he shouted and I couldn't resist smiling. having a friend coming with me really helps my mind to settle down.
"so how's this thing work, anyway? we put our hands on it or something like that?" he asked, looking at the fast travel station with a puzzled look on his face. "I don't know… let's see. c'mere." I said and started making my way towards the fast travel station and I laid my hand on top of it. suddenly, a list of locations kind of… appeared in my mind? I quess that's the best way to say it. "put your hand on it, and tell me, where should we go." I said and saw from the corner of my eye as jay laid his hand on top of the fast travel station too. his eyes widened for a moment. probably taking in the list he was seeing.
"Does your station have only three locations, too?" he asked me after awhile. "now that you mention it… yeah, only three." but none of those three were even remotely related to the places you could travel to in Borderlands 1 or 2. "Train station, The pit and The library? the hell?" with that thought I said: "well where should we go to? I'm not 100% sure, but I think the "train station" is the place where the vault hunters leave from… and because in borderlands 1, the four vault hunters come in with a bus, I think this'll be inside borderlands 2. and jack's engineer also mentioned we'd go back in time by 3 years, so I'd suggest training those 3 years… what do you say?" you could see that Jay was thinking about this. he's pretty damn clever if he wants to. "well, how about we visit this library first? maybe we could find some information there about our current… predicament. but- no wait, that wouldn't be really possible if we do travel 3 years back in time… but should we still check it out?" he asked, hesitation evident in his voice. "sure, why not?" with that thought in mind I picked "The library" from the list visible in my mind and let the odd pulling feeling take me. The last thing I saw was Jay's figure digistructing out of existence.
And that's when I lost my consciousness
And that is the very first chapter of Rokushiki using vault hunters!
please review, give me suggestions, anything at all! flames? sure. go on ahead. I'll probably just ignore them. ^_^ so anyways. I like constructive critizism. and yeah, the first chapter is rather short, but I promise that the following chapters will always be 2-6k in words, and 'special' chapters will be 8k words in length. enjoy life and have a good day. *tips hat towards readers and walks away all gentlemanly*
