Chapter 1

Authors Note-First fic so be honest...read and reviews both negative or positive are appreciated. I'll do my best to even this out but know that it's my first and it's a Zer0 x Lilith thing so... yea.

As the explosion sounded for our 5 vault hunters in the train, Sal smiled and cried knowing he'd go out in explosions, but not the one he caused, Gaige was sad knowing now there was no hope to see her dad or mum on Eden-5 again, Maya was trying not to panic knowing full well this could be her last few moments,but she failed at not panicking, Axton, the ever so confident commando that he was, remained calm but adrenaline filled, finally Zer0 was in the corner, left alone and trying to figure a way out for him and these strangers, he was unsure why an emotionless killer like himself was worrying for them but he...he thought they could have potential as 'vault hunters', he still thought the name was stupid for the group, but he had no time to ponder in his thoughts for much longer as everything went black.

Axton awoke to a blistering pain in his left side and looked over to see a huge yellow bar with the letters 'HYPER' on it, he noticed it had broke his ribs and nearly straight into his lungs, never had he felt so lucky in his life. He gripped it and began to ease it out slowly, before it had left his side he heard a clearly robotic voice say "Greeaaat another dead vault hunter, Handsome Jacks been busy...wait a minute you're not dead YES now i can get off this glacier, claptrap your metaphorical ship has finally come in"

Axton cringed at it's high pitch and irritableness, but before shouting at it himself he heard a feminine voice scream out " OH MY GOD SHUT THE HELL UP MOM!" Axtons head shot up at this, nearly forgetting about the pole in his side, he simply broke most of it off so he could walk, although it took a good few swings of his hatchet, and called out with a slight strain "Hey, little girl, is that you?"

What happened next surprised him as it shouted back with anger present in the voice "Who the hell are you calling little girl!? I sawed off my own arm AND built a humongous death machine in a shed out of scrap! I'm not a little girl!" he reached the source of the voice and saw a teenage girl, the one from the train he beleived, under a large chunk of corragated iron, "Need a hand?" as she squiremed she looked up and into his eyes and retorted back with "Heh no i wanna end up as a popsicle, course i need a hand!"

He leaned down and helped her up out of the pile of scrap and sheet metal, he heard her mutter quietly to herself something about a 'Deathtrap' but he didn't listen, he was looking for the others, the midget and siren, he thought there was another on the train with them but he saw a shadow,not a person, he walked up next to gaige and asked "D'ya know where the others are?" she looked at hgim like he was crazy, "What others are you talking about? I don't remember anyone else on the train with us, just the train and a BADASS EXPLOSION!" Axton jumped at her outburst but called out the only things he could to get the others attention, "Hey, midget dude and tattoo chick, you guys there?"

As Maya awoke she instantly knew two things, was cold and was in the middle of nowhere, she knew she wasn't alone atleast as she heard a thick accent shouting out about 'ripping someones arms off' she called out the only name she remembered from the train, "Sal, is that you?" she heard the crunching of snow and saw a bloodied midget appear from the blizzard, "Ci siren lady, i'm here, you look like shit though" Her attention was drawn to the thick layers of dirt and snow around her bodysuit, but no blood like sal, her powers likely had something to do with it,"Gee thanks for that, you look like you need a doctor though, i can see one of your ribs" What shocked her a little was that he said "Meh, i've had worse, you good to walk?"She stood in her siren-y glory, or what was left of her glory anyway, she heard a robotic voice come out of the distance say "I think their over here-wait i've found them!"

Maya saw a military clad man and teenage girl appear with a small box shaped robot, she cpould guess the robot had the incredibly annoying voice but she didn't recognise the otyher two, maybe they were on the train with her and she couldn't remember or they could be here to try and eat her like others had before with her and her arrival crew, she missed the crew, they were good for talking to. The apparent soldier approached her and said "Hey i never caught your name i don't think mines Axton whats yours gorgeous?" She blushed a little but was annoyed a bit too, who the hell flirts in a time like this! "My names Maya if you must know" "And i am SALVADOR!" Obviously proud of what he just said he went to follow the robot who had been babbling non-stop while she was thinking or name-giving. She decided to follow Sal and Axton as she learned his name still didn't know the teen and decided to ask her "Hey, umm, girl?, whats your name?" "Gaige, and enough with the girl thing, i'm a young woman" She stated matter-of-factly. As they all walked away from the train wreckage and towards a safe house, they were unaware of the masked shadow that had been watching them...

Authors Note-Yeah so...feedbacks appreciated, zer0 will be the next chapter, so not the other vault hunters as such...again feedbacks appreciated.
