This hasn't left me alone since the second time I read Jack: The Hero, so I figured why the hell not? An OOC warning is in heavy effect, as I haven't played all the characters yet and I run the risk of not getting said characters right, also Jack's not as twisted even if he still has an ego the size of Elpis. Other than that, please enjoy the story and know I'll probably write a sequel covering Elpis after this just like the games.

Also, I'm not describing people unless it's my OC since if you've played the game, you know what people look like. Seems kinda pointless, right?

Darkness and Light, Into the Chaos!

The five individuals stepped onto the train, waiting for their employer to appear. Each had their weapons at the ready in case the whole thing was a set-up, and the fact they were on Pandora didn't help, but soon the doors opened to reveal the Hyperion CEO, Handsome Jack. The man who used his company resources to aid the more civilized towns with food, supplies, and the occasional GUN Loader for the towns having problems with bandit camps. "Hello kiddies. You must be the Vault Hunters we hired." he greeted.

"Although I think there's a certain Psycho on the side of the train at the moment, right Maya?" came a smug voice behind him. The blue-haired siren looked past the brunette man to see a blonde man maybe a couple years older than Gaige with a gun strapped to either of his legs and a sniper rifle slung across his back. "Not that it's going to be a problem, mind you." the blonde added.

Jack turned to admonish his companion, but heard the tell-tale voice of his Loaders saying, "Enemy sighted."

"Get to cover!" Jack snapped, ducking behind one of the crates before arming his blaster bracelets. The GUN Loaders started shooting a second after. "Michel, why do the Loaders have a murder-on for us?" the CEO demanded, firing over the crate he was using.

The blonde unholstered his SMG marked Belladonna before pulling the trigger. "Don't know, but let's worry about that after we've busted them." he replied, the corrosive bullets doing their job easily enough. The rest of the Vault Hunters leaped into action, firing their weapons and (in Axton and Gaige's cases) deploying their signature weapons in the turret and DeathTrap.

"Wow! That...is a cool robot." Jack gasped.

Jack as

Himself

Why mess with perfection?

"I'd love to take it apart later, but we need to focus on not dying and the fact these things have me pinned." Michel replied, changing clips on Belladonna. The GUN Loaders on the sides found themselves blasted apart by Axton's turret. "The Commando's little girlfriend is pretty good too." the blonde boy added, holstering Belladonna before sliding the sniper rifle off his shoulder. "Say hello to my old friend, Sinon." he cackled before pulling the trigger, blowing off the nearest Loader's arm before DeathTrap sliced it down the middle.

Michel as

The Enigma

No info available

Maya phaselocked an EXP Loader before Salvador used his duel assault rifles to blow it to kingdom come, putting a lot of bullet holes in the side, which became a full hole as Krieg busted in. "I'M GONNA PUT MY PAIN INTO YOUR SOUL!" he bellowed, swinging his buzz saw ax and slicing another Loader in half.

"Is that a psycho?" Jack questioned. "What's he doing here?"

"That would be Krieg." Michel replied, watching the last of the Loaders fell. Standing and seeing Zer0 appearing beside him, the blonde man said, "Let's move into another car. Don't want any more surprises." The six Vault Hunters followed Jack and the enigma to the next car, which was incredibly dark. The Hyperion duo hit the switch and saw the car full of dynamite. "Oh crap."

A chair with a dummy strapped to it turned to the group, a dummy fashioned after vice president Blake. A speaker sounded. "Sorry Jack, but you've become too soft. Consider this a hostile takeover by someone who will truly tame Pandora." Blake's voice came through.

"Everybody brace!" Axton called, moving toward Gaige while Krieg pushed Maya behind him. No one else had time to react as the car exploded.

And done. Well, Blake's taken Jack's spot as the main antagonist and a stranger has been introduced. For anyone wondering about the gun names let me explain, Belladonna is a type of poisonous plant, hence why it was a corrosive weapon. Sinon is the sniper who helps Kirito in Sword Art Online 2 and easily my favorite of the girls of that anime, sorry Asuna. I'll post Michel's abilities later, but for now I guess I'll see you next time the plot bunny bites me, so until next time!
