The bus shook and bounced as the driver looks back and grimaces at the crazies he was delivering. Inside the bus was a psych ward inmates regular transportation to a separate facility. Guards marched up and down the aisles insuring that none of the inmates attempted anything that could possibly be dangerous to themselves or anyone nearby.

The bus happened to be driving down a wooded terrain rather quickly as it was headed towards its destination. The driver glanced back down at the road just in time to see a large hole appear right in front of them. The hole seemed to stand up straight and it held a murky blackness.

The driver slammed the brakes as hard as he could launching the guards towards the gate that separated the inmates and driver. Each inmate held on tight as the bus started drifting and slowed to a stop a good 20 feet away from the portal.

The guards slowly got to their feet rubbing their heads from the injury as all the inmates looked around wondering what happened. Except one, the sole inmate that wasn't shellshocked glanced and grinned maniacally.

He stuck his tongue out and grabbed a razor blade that was hidden there. The inmate stood up and walked to one of the slower guards. The inmate flicked his wrist with the blade on it and slashed his neck spraying blood all over the seats and ceiling. The guards all reached for their weapons as the inmate approached them. Everything went to hell at that moment, A seat with three inmates had a blur of movement as two of the three tackled a guard and wailed on his body with a flurry of fists.

The third guard who stood at the gate pulled his gun and fired killing one inmate but also wounding the guard in the process. Another inmate out of the 30 on the bus ran from his seat and bite down on the guards shoulder and knocked him into the gate. The driver turned around grabbing his revolver while his co - driver grabbed a pump shotgun. The gate at this point crumbled as 27 of the 30 inmates rammed the gate down and charged towards the two. The Drivers opened fire killing plenty before they were overtaken and cannibalized. 10 out of the 30 inmates remained including the one responsible for the rebellion. This inmate grabbed a gun and reloaded as the bodies were being picked at and eaten. Calmness washed over the inmate as he fire the 15 rounds into the other 9 inmates effectively killing everyone.

The last inmate started chuckling before tilting his head back and laughing maniacally. With the chuckles and an evil smile the inmate looted all the ammo and the guns from the inmate before looking through the window to the portal. His faced blanked out and his eyes hardened as he took he new found supplies and walked through it.

Info . . . . . . .

Authorization? . . . . . . . .

Confirmed. . . . . . . . . .

Two individuals read through a long list of information regarding personality traits, Past history, and skills as the portal vibrated and fluxauted.

"Are you sure about this? This isn't the kind of individual who we expected to come through here." a feminine voice spoke softly and timidly.

"Yes, He is perfect a loose cannon that no one knows about that can do what we want. Make sure to destroy the machine that we discovered after he gets through." A much more powerful and masculine voice called back.

"As you wish."

Footsteps left the room and the feminine character remained.

"This is going to backfire, I already can tell"

Logging out. . . . . . . .

Self Destruct Enabled. . . . . . .

Are You Sure. . . . . . . .

Goodbye. . . . . . .

Sparks flashed before a bang was heard and an inferno started completely destroying the technology that was used. This would never be seen again.

The Inmate stepped out and looked around as he was staring at a wasteland. Sand blew in his face and he narrowed his eyes to avoid exposure to the sand and sun that burnt the ground with its harsh rays. The ground was a pale tan with a cracked flat ground near road with worn down railings and a falling apart sign. The inmate blinked in surprise before walking up to the billboard and reading 'Pandora Your Final Destination'.

The inmate nearly jumped in a panic as a large dog like creature showed up and opened its mouth to let loose a feral roar with its wormlike tongue wagging about. The creature charged at him as he backed onto the road attempting to avoid before raising his shotgun. The inmate saw a movement out of the corner of his eye and as he turned to look at it a large gray beaten bus slammed into the creature and killed it.

The bus stopped rather quickly causing the inmate to walk to the door with a stunned expression. When the door opened a large man with a gold tooth and a goatee smiled at him before holding his hand out as though asking for something. The inmate looked around before shrugging and handing him the shotgun that he stole. The large man looked at it before the smile changed to a frown and he huffed.

"Last time I stop for some random vagrant, should of kept going" The large man grumbled. The inmate stepped abroad at that and took a chance to really see this man's outfit. He wore a grimy set of orange clothes that looked like a dystopia merchant with a slicked back hair doo.

The inmate walked past him and his eyes immediately settled on the largest man he had ever seen. This man had massive muscles easily being 7 feet tall and had a buzz cut that looked near balding with a tank top like shirt that revealed his arms probably for free movement when beating something down. He had a chain around his waist and dog tags around his neck that was unreadable from this distance.

The inmate knew to avoid people like this and sat behind the bus driver and just now noticing the other occupants of the bus. One such occupant wore a luchador mask with red goggles for the eyes and had a long beard without mustache and a strange sword. This individual happen to be around 6'2 maybe 6'3 with a large raptor like bird on his shoulder that was glaring at the inmate.

He wore some set of leather armor and carried a sniper rifle down at his side. The inmate's staring was met and the two stared each other down. While the Animal tamer was standing, the inmate sat down and leaned back with his pistols he looted within a split second reach.

The inmate shifted his eyes back and saw a dark skinned man with a large combat knife and pieces of armor on his body worn like a gladiator. He also had a cap with red goggles and some form of bandana around his neck. A tattoo on his left arm that resembled a skull and some weird tech at his waist.

The inmate finally turned his head and eyes forward before lulling into a meditative state. The bird noticed this and leapt of it's master's shoulder and jumped onto his head before looking down into his eyes. The inmate was unphased and didn't even appear to register that the bird and literally moved into his line of sight or that it even existed at all. The master of the bird watched in interest as this has never happened before and was rather interested in why his bird decided that he was a good perch.

The bus driver yelled to the passengers

"All right back there, time to wake up! It's a beautiful day, full of opportunity!"

The inmate finally stirred and blinked just now noticing the avian raptor on his head. The two creatures stared at each other neither blinking or moving as the bus finally rolled into the town

The other occupants seemed stunned for a second before returning to their normal expressions as the bus came to a stop. Everyone stood up to leave as the bus driver was looking through the barred window before turning to them

"Well, we're here. Don't worry about saying goodbye. I'm sure we'll be doing this all again soon enough." He laughed for a second before his expression hardened.

"Get off my bus"

With that all of the occupants stepped out of the bus to a bus stop and it was at this moment as the inmate got off first that he finally noticed the female amongst the group. Well endowed with a strange set of tattoos on her body as well as red hair that was longer on one side. She was wearing a strapless top that covered down to her stomach with another sleeveless shirt on top of that. She even wore a vest that had a fur collar. The inmate snickered to himself completely forgetting that the avian raptor was still on his head

'Kinda reminds me of some off brand Black Widow from home' The inmate thought to himself.

While he was thinking this the other occupants fully evaluated their strange hitchhiker. He wore a white jumpsuit that was loose and made it hard to tell his body mass. The jumpsuit also had a metal bar with numbers on it and the back read 'DANGEROUS'. He had a short buzz side head with longer hair on top that was slicked back holding down his auburn hair.

He was pale and had a strong facial features like a defined jaw line and harsh eyes that always made him look like he was sleepy. The inmate had mismatched eyes and a scar that ran through his right eye to the side of his lip. This left his right eye a pale blue while the other a green. He had a clean shaven face and when one really looked they noticed blood staining the white jumpsuit and blood on his face.

He also had on plain white sneakers and around one wrist was a band with writing on it that the Vault Hunters couldn't make out.

As the bus drove away a little robot said "See ya next time" before laughing in a rather stupid fashion "AH HA" and turned towards them. The robot bowed and spoke with a monotone voice "Welcome to Fyrestone! I am CL4P-TP, you may call me by my locally designated name, 'Claptrap'. Before continuing, please accept this ECHO communication device and heads-up display provided free of charge by the Dahl corporation!"

He made hand gestures throughout the whole talk and when the female glanced to see what the hitchhiker was going to do. She nearly busted out laughing by his wide eye and open mouthed expression.

The Vault Hunters grabbed one and each one placed it on their waist and turned it on. The inmate grabbed his before mouthing 'WTF' before turning it around in his hand and inspecting the device. Claptrap was waiting for the inmate to equip it as he kept inspecting the device with a raised brow.

The other Vault Hunters looked at him as he stared tapping the device trying to figure out what the hell it was. The luchadore chuckled before grabbing it and turning it on.

"Its an ECHO haven't you ever heard of one? It's used for long distance communication"

The inmate turned and spoke in a rather soothing voice "So, It's a cell phone?"

The Vault Hunters looked confused "what is a cell phone" spoke the luchadore.

The inmate sighed before stuffing it in his jumpsuit pocket. "A handheld device used for long distance communication."

Claptrap responded "That device is a clear infringement on the product designated as ECHO Communicator"

The inmate turned to the robot and shrugged before walking off towards the motel that looked beat down. The luchadore followed trying to keep a conversation going "I never did introduce myself to you, I'm Mordecai the 'Hunter' of this band of Vault Hunters"

The inmate stopped which Mordecai followed. "Nice to meet you Mordecai but please do tell me what the hell a Vault is? Is it some ancient tomb or something?"

Mordecai grinned "it's an alien vault that contains loot."

The inmate blinked a few times before holding up his hand in a stop motion. "Hold up, what is going on here? One moment I'm escaping my torturous imprisonment before stepping through some portal thing and now i'm in a desert hunting some alien cache?"

Mordecai froze. "Im sorry, what did you say" he spoke slowly not understanding what the inmate is talking about.

The inmate narrowed his eyes before drawing a revolver on the Hunter. This caused the other Vault Hunters to draw their guns and aim it at the inmate.

"Fine, let me repeat myself. Where. Am. I." the inmate spoke slowly in a deep growl

The Hunter glanced to his bird who looked ready to peck the eyes out of the inmate from atop his head.

"Your on pandora" a deep voice spoke out

The inmate turned his head towards the source and saw the dark skinned man speaking to him.

"Im Roland the soldier of the group and from what you just said about a portal." he froze looking unsure "sounds like you got transported here from another planet probably from a siren or something."

The female looked nervous which was missed by everyone but the inmate who holster his pistol back in the pocket his jumpsuit had.

"Well that's bullshit. I have never heard of pandora is it somewhere on earth?"

This caused the group to looked shocked.

"No, pandora is another planet entirely" Roland spoke again in a stunned voice.

This caused the inmate to have his pupils shrink and his breathe to become visible as he started panting. Inmate reached into his chest pocket and pulled out a silver box with 20 tiny tic tac sized vials of orange liquid. The inmate grabbed one closed the case and put it back before grabbing a syringe out of his other pocket that didn't hold the echo and the gun. Using the syringe he stabbed himself in the neck and sighed in relief as the medicine was inject causing steam to spill out of his mouth and nose like a dragon.

The bird flew of his head and landed on Mordecai's shoulder as the group watched in fascination by this event. The inmate breathed deeply before blowing out the remaining steam and with normal sleepy looking eyes looked to the group.

"Well, I apologize for that it seems i'm somewhere completely different from home and overreacted. If you wouldn't mind can I hunt for this vault with you in the meantime as I try to get some answers? I also never introduced myself" He coughed as a small steam cloud puffed out "Im Draxtis but most call me Drax"

Drax bowed dramatically to the group still leaving them questioning what is wrong with him.

"Well this is Lilith and thats Brick" Roland nodded as he informed Drax the other two individuals names. Drax nodded again and promptly spun on his heel and walked towards the beaten down motel. The Vault Hunters looked between each other and was about to follow until the little robot directed their attention to the gate that led into town.

Mordecai glanced back as the door closed to the motel and Drax disappeared inside the building as the group followed the steward bot. The bot drove up to the gate and started to open the door before the sounds of engines revving filled the air. Multiple runners flew down and drifted along the path in the town shooting at the houses and fuel tanks causing explosions and fire to spread throughout the town.

The team looked to each other before raising their guns as soon as the gate opened and dashed in. The Vault Hunters ran around the corner and reacted to the bandits pounding on the doors and shooting through the windows. Each Vault Hunter fired their respective guns with the pellets from Brick's shotgun tearing two bandits apart and another being introduced to the receiving end of a sniper courtesy of Mordecai.

Roland shot the other three and Lilith lit up the surrounding two. They reloaded in an oddly synchronized fashion before moving forward after a nod to each other. They stalked around a corner where another runner drove off and they heard banging on a door.

Around the same time the Bandit Raid initially started

Drax entered the motel and panted as his anxiety started acting up. Drax dragged his hand down his face and shook his head to try and alleviate it. There he noticed a red long chest that reminded him of a gun crate. Drax walked up and pressed the center ring on it opening the device which unfolded long ways with ammo for an SMG. Drax looked in the center where an SMG lay that was green in color with a thin rail on top that was used for the sights. In a odd font the name DAHL was on the side and Drax lifted the gun out of the chest. Drax ran his hand across the barrel reminiscing the past. With practised ease Drax reloaded the gun and grabbed the spare mags before opening the backdoor of the building.

Drax heard the gunfire and leapt over the fence and on top of the house that was currently being knocked at. Three bandits stood outside with the lead banging on the door telling the occupants to send their women out. Drax stayed still from up top and waited as they threatened to bring a "Nine Toes" to the party. Drax smiled darkly and slid off the roof on top of the lead bandit that was knocking. Holding his new found gunsideways with one hand, Drax swung his arm in 90 degrees spraying down both bandits next to him from where he sat. Drax then rolled forward off the bandit he landed on. Drax drew his revolver and fired one shot into his skull before the bandit could even react.

Chuckling, Drax focused his attention on anything moving nearby and his revolver set sights on the Vault Hunters who witnessed the whole exchange. Drax lowered his revolver and his expression went stoic again as he stood up and dusted off.

Rolling his wrist in front of them as a form of dismissal he holsters the revolver. Drax turns and stalks off back behind the building as the Vault hunters watched. Turning to each other the Vault hunters were speechless and Brick shrugged his shoulders before spotting a red chest.

"DIBS!" Brick shouted as he ran for the chest and punched the center button. The chest unfolded and revealed two pistols that Brick was thoroughly upset about. The other vault hunters watched in amazement as the big guy awkwardly handled the tiny armament. During this whole endeavor claptrap was talking and babbling about being bandits favorites. Roland only got a few tidbits like how being used for target practice was not apart of their programming. The Vault Hunters watched as the steward bot failed to open the main gate so instead opened the smaller side gate.

The Vault hunters crouched through the small opening and noticed bandits vaulting over a wall at least 30 to 40 meters away. Brick laughed as he charged towards them with Lilith hot on his heels. Mordecai drew his sniper rifle and sniped a bandit with a shield that barely saved the bandit from a insta - kill headshot. Mordecai clicked his tongue and fired again this time watching in satisfaction as the enemies head exploded in a gory mess and splattering a smaller weaker bandit. The gore covered bandit looked at his friend with wide eyes before looking up to see a hulking man slam a fist into his face. This broke the bandit's neck and tore a good chunk out of his skull as well as smashing in his face. Lilith sprayed down another two right as the berserker known as Brick smashed that bandit. Bullets flew from their left and Roland reacted with steady bursts down range tearing apart two smaller bandits. Three bandits remained and one was larger than the rest and carried a large machine gun that was belt - fed to a backpack full of ammo. This bandit stood as tall as Brick and wore a heavy looking metal armor that allowed barely any movement. The bandit's head was also protected by a strange biker helmet with a visor made of mesh.

Ma' Gun

The massive bandit's gun heated up with a whir before tens of hundreds of bullets flew down range.

Thats a big gun! P.S. Might want to run.

Brick dove behind a makeshift wall of scrap metal and the other vault hunters lept behind the wall that separated the corner from them. Bullets and tracer rounds shredded the thick wall covering like paper as the bullets left pocket holes on the corner piece. Brick stood up knowing that the heat was on him and fired shots from his shotgun towards the walking disaster. Ma' Gun barely noticed the tiny pellets bouncing off his armor as he stomped towards the fleeing Vault Hunters. The other two bandits whooped and cheered as Ma' Gun marched his way towards the Vault Hunters and catcalled when they saw Lilith trying to hit potshots at the tank. One bandit whistled and laughed before turning to his friend to make a snide remark. All he saw was his friend clutching his throat as blood poured out from between his hands. The bandit didn't register this event for a second before turning a tad bit more and finding Drax sitting next to him on a explosive barrel. Drax was studying a bloodied sharp piece of scrap that he found near a burning home. The bandit shouted out "HEY!" and was then silenced for good as Drax threw the knife straight into his eye.

Drax then stood up and set the barrel on its side with a kick. Ma' Gun steadily marched towards the Vault Hunters and was rounding the corner where the others dashed away from. Drax violently kicked the barrel causing it to roll to Ma' Gun before it bumped into his leg. Ma' Gun stopped firing and looked down to see an explosive barrel at his feet. Looking towards his bandit friends all he found was a crazed man in a white jumpsuit pointing a revolver at him, No at the barrel. "YOU BASTA-" Ma' Gun didn't finish his sentence as the barrel exploded and launched him to the ground in a ball of fire. Ma' Gun didn't die but his ears were ringing and his arm felt numb as well as his vision fading in and out from the concussion he received from his head being thrown about.

Drax walked towards Ma' Gun whistling a unfamiliar tune that the bandit could barely make out. Drax stopped walking and gave the bandit a kick on his numbed arm before crouching above the hulking and now injured monstrosity of a man. Drax spoke words that didn't reach the bandit before feeling his helmet being lifted off his head and cold steel on his forehead. The bandit's vision cleared a bit and saw the chrome barrel of the revolver and saw his life flash before blacking out with a bang.

The Vault Hunters waited from the small doorway that they had to crouch through with their guns 'trained on the corner. After a full two minutes Brick crawled back through and cautiously approached the corner much to the disapproval from Roland.

Brick stumbled for a second before hollering out for everyone to hear "GOD DAMN! You proved to be more Badass than I originally thought Drax!" Mordecai lowered his rifle and looked at Roland who was doing the same thing. Lilith being more curious than cautious jogged to see what happened and her jaw dropped at the carnage that Drax brought. This made the last two Vault Hunters walk towards the commotion where the definition of overkill laid ahead.

Ma' Gun had two holes where his eyes should be and a hole in the center of his forehead. The head was also disconnected and his ruined gun that was broken during the explosion was now a stake where the head was firmly planted on. The body was laid against the wall without arms or legs and those were placed carefully in a box around the staked head. The armor that Ma' Gun had was stripped and broken down where Drax studied it and muttered to himself as he held up bits and pieces.

Lilith eyed Drax as the outfit that was once a pristine white with some blood spots become almost crimson as it looked damp and blood dripped from the sleeves. Her eyes trailed down his figure before landing on a new revolver that he probably got from the bandit Ma' Gun.

Brick seemed to notice as well and slapped Drax on the back in a way of saying good job before bellowing out "Nice work! It seems you looted something good from him as well, that revolver is looking fierce."

Drax flinched as the pat hit him and he felt his bones and muscles ache and tense as the shock from the slap reverberated through his body. Drax glanced to Brick and drew his revolver and held it to him from the barrel, offering the grip to the Berserker and muttering "Make sure you give it back i'm not done studying it yet."

Brick took hold of the revolver and felt his hand weigh down quite a bit from the weight that the hand cannon possessed. The revolver was massive and was about 8' to 9' inches in length with a dual barrels stacked on top of each other. The gun held eight shots for the revolver with a hand loaded single shot .50 cal for the top barrel. This Magnum also held a switch that changed what barrel it's shot from instead of firing both at once. The Magnum also had a small thunderbolt symbol in the grip that seemed change the bullets fired from the eight shot chamber into shock rounds. This modifier also made the typical rifle shot into a railgun but the recoil was sure to break a few fingers if used. In order to use the charger one must flip a switch on the box that was on the grip and it had written on the side of the barrel 'Raijin'. Brick lifted the gun up and aimed it at the staked head of Ma' Gun before firing and blowing a massive hole into the bandit's head. The Magnum kicked hard surprising Brick and bringing it up further than he thought it would originally go. Mordecai almost snatched it from his hand as he studied the magnum from his fellow Vault Hunters grip. "That gun is a beauty Drax. Mind if I have it?" Mordecai inquired as he kept reaching and trying to take it from Brick who opted to hold the gun just out of reach from the Hunter.

Drax chuckled before standing up and grabbing his gun from Brick just as he brought it down to tease the Hunter. "No, I have somethings I need to learn from this gun and when Im done this will probably be my main weapon." Drax cradled said weapon in his hands like a baby before spinning the chamber and pointing the gun to Ma' Gun's corpse. Smooth as silk Drax fired a shot every time the chamber lined up with the barrel and unloaded the remaining seven shots into his body leaving it like swiss cheese. Roland was the only one to notice that his hand barely moved from the recoil that forced Brick's whole arm to jump up.

Roland opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by the annoying steward bot that yelled out to the town. "Attention citizens of Fyrestone! There is no cause for alarm. This new visitor has resolved the problem!" This annoying callout was met with a older sounding voice responding through the open frequency on the echo device. "Well shoot. I thought I was a goner that time! Damn bandits won't leave us alone. Had to lock the place up tight. I'll let ya in! Come on! Damn it. Blasted circuits are on the fritz again. Give it a go from the switch out there. Would ya?"

Drax shrugged and walked towards the building not noticing that the other Vault Hunters stopped for a second as though they were listening to another voice on there Echo. Drax walked towards the switch which just happened to be a red and green button on a rod that stuck out of the ground. Drax pushed the green button and like a garage, the door besides Drax opened and a Doctor looking fellow wielding a saw blade on the end of a metallic rod that gave the appearance of an axe. The Doctor chopped a corpse's leg off and moved it to a bin that was chilled slightly.

The doctor looked at the Vault Hunters who had different faces of disgust, well expect Drax who stared at the corpse without sympathy.

Drax stared at the doctor next and the older male with barely noticeable wrinkles on his forehead. A smoothed black hair styled that was much like how you would expect a Roman to have their hair styled. The doctor wore a surgical mask that looked rather dirty and an apron on top of his brown clothes.

"People don't let me cut them open anymore since I lost my licenses." Drax blinked at the statement given by the doctor. "Names Zed by the way and if you ever get hurt you can just purchase some health vials and shields in this here machine." Zed points to a red and white machine that looked like a vending machine from home. If said vending machine had no glass screen and instead a blue holographic visual that linked with the Echos.

Drax noticed however that the blue holographic light as off and power coupler was missing. "Well you could if they sang coupler didn't go out." Zed shook his head before sighing "I know where another is but you have to leave town and get it. Last I heard it was surrounded by skags."

The other vault hunters talked a bit more and Drax walked way away without alerting the group. 'Their business is their own and I have no need to get involved.' Drax grumbled to himself as he walked to the closed gate.

That annoying robot was talking again and Drax was getting closer and closer to shooting the…. what was it called? Ah. That's right Claptrap.

Drax heard a rumbling and dived to the side as a dune buggy looking vehicle sped by and did a 180 at the gate. Firing through the bars with the top gunner and blasting the robot a few times.

Drax could tell from here that vital components were mostly likely damaged and before he could help, bandits started climbing the walls. Drax un-holstered his magnum Raijin and fired a round into a bandits midriff. The bandit fell backwards with a gaping hole in his stomach and knocked his friend down from the wall.

Drax dove behind a small concrete tombstone before kicking his foot out just enough to be seen. Bullets whizzed by his exposed foot which allowed him to prone out of cover and fire before the bandit could react. The bullet from Raijin smashed into the bandits own pistol and ruined the gun before it curved from impact. Due to the this curve the bullet went into the bandits goggles and straight through his skull.

More bandits were jumping over and laying down suppression to Drax. Drax completely covered himself again and took blind shots towards his targets. A loud bang and a sniper round shattered a man's skull as someone huge charged straight down the center blasting away with a shotgun.

A steady stream of covering fire drew the bandits attention as Lilith and Roland fired accurately down range and killing a few themselves. Brick reached a bandit right as gun clicked and did what any berserker does, He punched. The bandit launched into the gate with clearly broken ribs before another punch shook his skull that soon became mush under a flurry of punches from Brick

Drax stood up as the gunfire died down and all that remained was panting from Brick and the robot "dying".

This was going to be a long day.
