The hunters

by FablePsycho

It is said that when you find true love, you have found your soulmate. Well, what if this very soul had been artificially made? What if you know it should never be? What happens when what you want, is something that goes against everything you stand for? The answer, load your cane rifle, and ready your bow, because you are both doomed.

1. Introduction

Now before anyone objects to this story and this pairing, I'd like to say this will not be one of those fluffs. The characters and their personalities will not be altered, they will speak to one another as they would in game. If you do not like this pairing, then read along for the story, it will be good I promise. Now without further delay, LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY...oh yeah and disclaimer. Battleborn and it's characters belong to Gearbox Software...except any OC's I choose to bring into the story.

A ship lands in an abandoned U.P.R. base, as a man retrieves his team after their long fought battle. This man is Trevor Ghalt, captain of the ship Nova, and he leads a group called the Battleborn. The Battleborn consist of individuals from the five remaining factions left within a dying universe. This group has put aside their differences, and faction affiliations to fight a traitor named Lothar Rendain, who has allied himself with the cosmic horrors known as the Varelsi.

These beings are the ones responsible for the destruction and darkening of countless worlds, and their stars. During such times, you'd think that those remaining would unite to fight a common enemy, but that's where you'd be wrong. Those who have survived the darkening, have all gutter balled around Solus, the last star in the universe. The five remaining factions mentioned earlier, all hold different ideals and beliefs, and fight each other for what is left.

The Battleborn are those who are willing to fight alongside each other, despite their own interests, but for some, it is much easier said then done. There are still those who fight within this group, and the actions of two such individuals, had nearly cost their team the mission, as well as their lives. The two I speak of, exist within the opposite spectrum of life and belief. One is of flesh, blood, and magic, while the other is of metal, wire, and evolutionary science.

The former's name is Teska Elessamorn (otherwise known as Thorn), an Aelfrin from a faction known as the Eldrid. The Eldrid value the natural universe, and spend great deals of their time and resources, observing, preserving, and cataloging all that they learn and find. The latter's name is Marquis D,Caliber, a magnus from a faction known as the Last Light Consortium, or the L.L.C. for short. The L.L.C. are the war profiteers of Solus, supplying the factions with machines of war in their endless pursuit of profit.

The two are proud hunters, with more in common then they know, but little do they know of the trials that they will face ahead. Only by uniting as a team, will they stand a chance of success and survival. This is their story, a story of a bond forged by battle, blood, and senseless violence. Read along children, and I will tell you the story of "The hunters".

Ok, so not much of a first chapter, but more of an introduction like the games intro. The narrator will remain nameless for the moment, but rest assured, I will reveal the character in a chapter to come. Until then, enjoy the chaos that is to come in the chapters ahead. Love it, hate it, review.
