Chapter 2: No Teeth

First of all... I LOVE YOU ALL! For the hundred and something people who read the first chapter I non-homoly love you. For the three who reviewed, naruXhinacrazy, Brawl499, Shikaku Zrtsumei, and Jest762. You guys are really awesome. Most people don't even review for me. Also check out SW4G M4N, Kromatick, and child-dragon's borderlands stories. There frickin awesome. And personally thanks naruXhinacrazy for noticing my mistake. For those who are writing haiku for Zer0 i found a website for syllable count. It's called: .com. Any way back to the story. !_!.

"So only me, Salvador, Mordecai, and Roland have guns." Axton huffed.

"I don't need a gun/ My sword is all I need to fight/ and my stealth hologram." Zer0 stated.

"I can spare 2 Maliwan fire sub-machine guns, 1 Torgue corrosive shot gun, and a Jakobs sniper rifle." Roland said. " I'll keep my dad's Dahl machine gun though."

"I got my good Jakobs revolver and sniper." Mordecai said materializing them, then digitizing them.

"You all know I have my two perras." Salvador commented about his two explosive shotguns.

"I'll give 2 Vladaf assault rifles, and a Tediore rocker launcher." Axton said.

"I WANT THE ROCKET LAUNCHER!" Brick yelled out, scaring a bunch of midgets to death.

"Woah calm down big guy. Church bells are ringing in my ears." Maya complained shaking her head to clear it. "I'll take one of the Maliwan sub-machine guns Roland."

"I'll take a sub-machine gun also." Lilith said, her eyes lighting up to the words fire.

"Gaige you want anything?" Axton asked the mechromancer.

"Hm." Gaige hummed, thinking which gun would suit her. "I'll use the shot gun."

"I'll take the sniper rifle/ I guess a gun would help now/ Going to blow heads off." Zer0 stated happily with the prospect of some killing.

"So I guess where good for now." Roland stated elated. "So we'll all swing by me and Axton's house for weapon pick up right after lunch."

"Right!" everyone else responded.

"Hey all you blood thirsty brats." a very douchey voice said on the school's intercom. "It's your great principle Handsome Jack speaking. If anyone of you piss for brained brats decide to ditch school I'll ride in on Butt Stalion and rip your head off."

"Man that guys a douche." Axton said, then a bunch of Hyperion Gun Loaders came out ready to escort the students out of the lunch room.

"Hey Zer0." Roland said. "Think you know how to distract the Gun Loaders so we can sneak out"" A smile emoticon appeared on Zer0's helmet and he suddenly threw a Skag mystery meat (the mystery is bullet fragments.) at a large man by the name of Sledge. Then his voice changed to sound like a random bandit.

"Nice throw Nine Toes." Zer0 said in the different voice. After wiping the food out of his face Sledge launched a bowl of Rakk intestines at Nine Toes, but missed and hit another person named Bone Head. Then someone yelled "FOOD FIGHT!" and the lunch room was thrown into chaos. People where launching food, plates, and robots at one another. While the Gun Loaders tried to desperately calm the situation down. All the while no one noticed a group of people sneak out threw a side exit. Even if one of them was as big as a barn.

After waking for a while, they finally got to the dorm, Fyrestone. Axton, Roland, and Salvador all left to go into there dorm rooms leaving the rest of the group waiting in excitement. When they came out the four had huge sacks of guns slung over there backs. When they regrouped with everyone they plopped the sacks down while everyone were as giddy as children waiting for Christmas, each one wanting to open there presents. They open the sacks and all grabbed there respective guns. After everyone was outfitted Roland told everyone where the bandit boss is.

"You all know where Skag gully is right?" Roland asked. Everyone nodded in confirmation. "Well the bandit liar is in that vicinity." Lilith raised her hand. "Yes Lilith?"

"Your realize that Skag gully is several miles away from here right?" Lilith asked, not really wanting to walk all the way to Skag gully.

"That's right, so we asked scooter to fix up the old pickup." Roland said glaring at Salvador.

"What! I didn't know the mine was their. There was some magia or something!" Salvador yelled waving his arms.

"Anywho, we all have our gear right?" Axton asked. Everyone nodded their heads. "In that case I'll be." Axton was about to put his hand on the catch-a-ride machine before Gaige's hand shot out and digitized the truck and teleport to the drivers seat.

"C'mon guys let's go!" Gaige yelled excitedly, but ended up stepping on the reverse and crashed into a wall. Everyone had a sweat drop after that.

"That was really bad/ You shouldn't drive to skag gully now/ I should drive this time." Zer0 stated before carrying the unconsciousness Gaige out of the truck and sitting in the drivers seat.

"I call the turret!" Brick exclaimed before hopping in the turret seat.

"Escopeta!" Salvador called, and hopped in the passenger seat.

"So I guess the rest of us are in the back." Roland said before climbing in and sitting on one of the trucks benches. Maya, Lilith, and Axton also got in. The sleeping form of Gaige was propped up on the front of the back of the truck snoring and whispering things like "explosions." "bricks." and 'Reverse pulse clutch engines." Zer0 started up the truck and began driving to Skag gully. For a while it was pretty awkward, until Brick started to shoot the Rakks over head.

"DIE! BLOOD! YES!" Brick shouted when a rocket exploded on a Rakk's body. At the same time Gaige was still sleeping, everyone was still confused on that. Seriously you try sleeping when Brick is yelling a foot away from you.

When they finally reached the bandit camp, Gaige had finally woken up and Brick's bloodlust had calmed a bit. They parked on a decently high ridge so Zer0 and Mordecai could scope out the camp.

"So here's the plan." Roland started. "Mordecai and Zer0 will stay on this ridge and give us sniper support. Salvador and Brick will take the front and take out as many bandits as they can. Lilith and Maya will stay behind them and use their Siren powers and sub-machine guns to subdue any bandits brick and Salvador missed or injured. While me,Axton, and Gaige will stay in the back with our machines providing more support. Any questions?" Roland asked. Everyone nodded their heads no. "Well let's go bag us a bounty!" The group exploded into cheers.

Bandits where walking around minding there own business until they heard an almost feral yell of rage. Then the nearest one was punched so hard he broke in two. Another was ripped apart by several rounds of explosive buck shot. Later before some of them even knew they where being attacked they were picked off by a volley of efficient shots.

"Yeah take it fucker/You think I can not see you there/ Boom fuckin headshot!" Zer0 yelled in a surprisingly well created haiku.

"Wah!" a psycho yelled when he hoisted into the air was surround by a sphere purple energy. Then was later blown apart from a rocket from Brick who screamed DIE!

Roland,Axton, and Gaige where in the back of all the chaos and where taking out bandits and psychos that came too close to the sirens. Gaige had summoned Death Trap and was mercilessly ripping apart midgets with Brick. Suddenly Axton was hit over the head with the handle of a tomahawk and lost the grip of gun. The psycho that threw it was running toward the down commando, but picked up by a very large bird. And was carried off god knows where.

"You're welcome!" Mordecai laughed in the echo communicator after seeing Axton's expression when seeing the big bird. "That was personal bloodwing, Bloodwing, that just saved your ass Axton. You owe him one." Mordecai laughed before going back to snipe a nomad through his eye slit.

After a couple or so minutes the fighting had ceased and the bandits that where occupying the camp had either run or where dead. Mordecai and Zer0 jumped off the ridge they where sniping on, Zer0 making a haiku on something about "no fall damage". It was deathly quiet... until they heard Salvador start shooting his shot-guns and yelling in a mix of Spanish and English.

"Yeah you hijos de puta. Next time I see you you're bolas will be mounted on my maldita pared!" Salvador yelled. After a few more profanities yelled in Spanish (enough to get me banned from Fanfiction XD) Salvador had calmed down.

"Salvador?" Axton asked the midget. "How much steroids have you taken?"

"Twelve pills." Salvador said like how most people would say a bite. Every guy starred at him incredulously, well Zer0 had a huge exclamation point over his face. Axton decided he needed to break the news to the poor guy before he found out. He went over to Salvador and whispered something into his ear. At first Salvador's face was aghast, then it turned to rage, then... sorrow.

"Sad when the truth hits/ You shouldn't take anymore drugs now/ They will get smaller." Zer0 said cryptically. But the message sunk in to Salvador who was on the verge of tears.

"C'mon soldier. Lighten up." Roland said to the sad gunzerker. "Killing No Teeth will make you fell better." Salvador's eyes lit up at the prospect and he and Brick pushed open the door and was... immediately met with a very big Goliath who was littering smacking his gums. He started shooting a machine gun rapidly and furiously. Brick and Salvador where forced to run behind cover while everyone else to get a shot off, but the Goliath was too fast. Suddenly Brick sprung up from god know where and started to punch the midget's shields. While everyone else was trying to help with him. After taking out his shields Axton yelled a very loud "GRENADE!" and chucked a Mirv grenade at No Teeth's feet.

No Teeth gave them all a look of amazement before being enveloped in a cloud of explosions. When the dust cleared it revealed... a very very VERY pissed off Goliath with that dangly thing they have as a head (I don't know what it's called!).

"That's disgusting!" Maya and Lilith said disgusted at what they where seeing.

"Cool!" Gaige screamed excitedly. Then Death Trap met the Super Goliath and was trying to swipe it with it's claws but was swatted aside almost effortlessly. Zer0 sprang up and ran at No Teeth and was slapped aside. But the Goliath's fist past through it. The hologram dissapated and the real Zer0 stabbed his sword through No Teeth's back. That didn't work because he was later back handed to the face and hit a wall. He didn't move after that.

"Zer0!" everyone yelled in shock. In a sudden sense of rage Brick ran up to the Golaith and started to punch him to death with his bolted hands. Seeing his best friend/ practical brother hurt Salvador grabbed his two explosive shot-guns and was mercilessly shooting the Goliath. Lilith had set it on fire. Maya had phaselocked it. Mordecai was snipping, and Axton and Roland where firing bullet after bullet into Goliath's massive form. After enduring the devastating damage the group had inflicted on him the Goliath finally fell.

"Damn you Raiders." the Goliath said before falling face first dead. Everyone ran to the still not moving Zer0. Maya was desperately trying to wake the assassin up to no avail.

"C'mon amigo get up." Salvador pleaded.

"Get up soldier." Roland desperately ordered. Suddenly Maya stabbed a health hypo into Zer0's leg waking him up.

"Ah!" Zer0 yelled clutching his leg.

"ZER0!" everyone yelled in happiness.

Zer0 looked at all. "I do not die easily/ One pimp smack can't kill me ever/Assassins don't die easy." Zer0 smirked. Then got up and pulled the katana out of the Goliaths stomach. Then cut off it's once known head.

"Good thinking soldier." Roland praised. "We need proof for bounty." They all where in high spirits because of today. Not only did no one die, but they took down there first bandit boss. By the time they got to the bounty board and turned in the bounty it was already night time. They decided to drive back to the Fyrestone dorms.

"Night everyone!" Maya, Lilith, and Gaige said to the guys as they went to the girls side of the dorm.

"Night!" they answered back. Since the day's worth of adrenaline hadn't left the guy's system they decided to play cards to release stress.

"Got any fours?" Axton asked.

"Go fish." Roland said trying to hold back laughter. Axton grumbled then picked up another card from the deck, then he smiled. That smile quickly disappeared when he saw what number Zer0 asked for. 4's.

"DAMMIT!" Axton yelled as he lost another card. Zer0 triumphantly took the card and made a pile of 4's in front of him. That made a total of 7 piles for Zer0, 1 for Brick, Salvador, and Mordecai, 2 for Roland. While Axton had a grand total of 0. "THIS GAME IS RIGGED!" he yelled before storming off into his room. When he left, everyone broke out into fits of laughter. Zer0 suddenly disappeared and reappeared a few inches away from where Axton was sitting. Zer0 had a huge LOL oh his mask.

"Well as fun as it is to prank Axle it's time to get some rest. Night guys" Roland said before walking to the room where ha and Mordecai shared. Talking something about "crimson" and "raiders." Soon Mordecai and Brick left to sleep also. Salvador was about to go, but stopped when he looked at his roommate who stood off to the side on wall as usual.

"You sleeping yet amigo?" Salvador asked. Zer0 shook his head no. Salvador just shrugged then went into the dorm room. Zer0 stood leaning against the wall for a long while, brooding as most people would see it but was actually thinking and reminiscing about today. Wondering what would've happened if he didn't have his roommates, no scratch that, his friends there with him. He had a smile emoticon appear on his face for a bit, before quietly walking back to room he shared with Salvador for some shut eye.

Review! Also if you notice if I tend to ignore Gaige a lot is because I don't exactly know how to interpret her yet. She's still a challenge. If you have any ideas for Gaige's personality PM me. Till the next chapter review, or I'll send Zer0 on you. XD Watch out for a new charterer entering soon.
