RE-EDIT
SOMETIME LATER
After the explosion of the train, which resulted the Vault Hunters to be flung out of it. Raven stirs a little, soft moans escape her painted lips. 'What, what happened?' She asked to no one in her head. Trying to move an arm, a sting of pain registers to her nervous system. 'Ouch, crap that hurt!' The pain wasn't over however, as all of it was catching up. So to ease it she's trying not to move so much. 'Where am I? Am I still on the train?' As of right now Raven can't tell as her other four senses are out of whack, though it peeves her that sense of feeling still works, although just barley.
'Wasn't I fighting robots with the... others!' Realization dawns on her. 'Where are they?! Are they still alive?! Did Jack's...' Suddenly it all starts rushing back to. After killing the tree robots that tried to kill her, she ran back into the compartment where the others are. Only to run in and see Salvador going gun crazy.
From underneath her helmet, the woman's eyes widen at the sight of him duel wielding assault rifles like they were nothing. Maya was lifting robots with her Siren powers that got too close and threw them at either the wall or at incoming robots. Axton was firing rockets at a small group. If they weren't in a life or death situation. She would've scolded him for using such a type of gun in a enclosed space. Zero was nowhere to be seen but guessed he was somewhere fighting out of sight.
Just as they cleared up the enemy robots. Raven snaps out if and rushes over to them, asking if they were hurt. To her joy they weren't but were clearly pissed at being almost killed. The bird named female explained to them she too was almost killed by some robots.
At that moment Zero joined them by falling through a hatch in the roof of the compartment. Sword in his right hand, blood staining the energy blade. Words were not said between them, they all looked at each other and nodded. Jack wanted them dead so only he can get to the vault and no one else.
Rushing to the front of the train, the five of them pushed through robots and engineers. Under a few minutes they finally reached Jack's compartment. Axton and Maya stood close to the door, the soldier looked at the others to see if their ready. Zero lifted his sword, Sal raised his guns, Maya charged up her arm, and Raven reloaded her automatic rifle and nodded.
Then the former soldier kicked the door open. But what they saw shocked them all, bombs, at least hundreds of them surrounded Jack sitting on a chair. But it really wasn't him, it was a dummy with a bomb strapped to it's chest. The last thing she remembers it saying was. "It's cute y'all think you're the heroes of this little adventure, but you're not. Welcome to Pandora kiddos!" After that a huge explosion went off, sending the train to derail and scatter.
With the events replaying in her mind finished. The woman starts asking questions to herself. 'Where am I right now if not on the train? Are the others close by? Did they survive like me?.' Raven so badly wanted to open her eyes. But trying to do so was just too much work. 'Shit! I haven't fully recovered.' Mentally sighing, 'Guess I'll have to wait to build up my strength and for my sense to return on their own.' Good thing for her she didn't have to wait very long. The sense of hearing is coming back.
Wind, heavy wind can be heard. With her sense of feeling already working and coming back to normal levels. She can feel that her face is cold. So that means they're somewhere cold, but where on Pandora is there a place that's like that? From orbit the planet looks like it's covered in dry deserts, at least that's what she saw. However that raised a flag, if she can feel her face is cold. That means her helmet came off. 'Got to find it.' She told herself. Luckly most of the pain subsided and she was able to move her limps a little.
"Great-more dead Vault Hunters. Handsome Jack's been busy." Said a muffled voice. 'What the? Is someone here? What's with their voice, it sounds... familiar.' With lots of effort, Raven rolls over till she's on her stomach. Opening her eyes slowly, she's greeted with blurry vision. In a few seconds it starts to clear up. About a foot away is a blocky yellow robot holding a shovel. It's currently digging into the snow, 'It can't be... that's impossible.'
The robot plunged the shovel into the snow again and brought it back out, though in doing so. It caused itself to turn in her vague direction. It's single glowing blue eye scans the area, "Wait a minute-you guys are not dead! Yes!" The robot started doing a little dance, "Now I can finally get off this glacier! Claptrap, your metaphorical ship has finally has finally came in!"
"A Claptrap?! I have to be dreaming." Raven mumbled, but what caught her attention is what it said moments ago. 'You guys' which means the others are here and alive. Carefully pushing herself on to her feet, the young woman turns to the left and sees her friends are indeed alive. Zero, Axton, and Sal are slowly pushing themselves onto their own feet.
But there was no Maya, frantically looking around the snow covered area. The Claptrap cleared it's 'throat' to gain her attention. Turning to face the little robot, "If you're looking for your female friend. She landed over there." It pointed it's claw like hand to it's right, following the robotic limp.
Right where it said she would be. Lying flat on her back is the Siren. "Crap! Maya I'm coming!" Raven shouted over the loud winds. As she took a step forward, the black haired woman fell on one knee. She still hasn't fully recovered from the explosion to walk.
Claptrap tried to roll over to her aid but stopped when seeing movement under a pile of snow. "Oh! Another Vault Hunter! Hello traveler!" It started rolling over to the pile of moving snow. Just as it's a foot away, the snow exploded when a very tall figure emerged. Looking up, the glowing eye came in contact with a single scowling eye.
The mask the person was wearing is very recognizable on this planet and a few others. "AHHHH! A psycho! Run away!" Claptrap ran away, waving its metal arms over its head. This got everyone's attention. Sal tried to reach for his guns but he grabbed nothing from his backpack. "My guns!"
It was the same for Axton and most likely Zero. The two of them brought out their bladed weapons instead and Sal raised his fist. Raven reached for the S&S rifle on her back but only grabbed air. Panic revealed itself within her.
Not only did she lose the one thing that can better protect her, she lost the last gift from her dad. Reaching for the combat knife instead and pulling it out of its sheath. Shakingly the armored woman gets into a stance. Now while Raven has never seen a psycho in person, she has seen one in pictures.
The mask he's wearing is custom but it's something those crazy people would wear. But he himself was far from a normal psycho, he's tall, buff, and bald. The psycho is wearing orange pants, his right arm is almost covered in mostly bandages, a brown harness is worn over his chest, and some metal plating with rivets covering his left forearm.
Being held in his right hand is a custom buzzaxe. It looked more deadly then what the basic of psycho's use. At that moment a groan can be heard, it's coming from Maya. Both Raven and the psycho look in the Siren's direction. With little pause, the buffed up male runs over to her. "Shit!" Everyone hissed out. They all tried to stop him but no one has recovered.
They watched as Maya finally came to. The first thing they saw her see is the psycho standing above her and believed it will be the last thing she saw before death. But a shocking expression found itself on her face. A one that said 'Good to see you again'. The psycho held out a hand for her and she took it. They watched as he pulled the Siren onto her feet. Maya smiled a thank you and turns to face the others.
The smile vanished when seeing their expressions. "What?" She simply asked. Stepping forward, "Uh, there's a psycho next to you." Axton pointed to the man with his weapon. The bluenette looks at the tall crazy man and back to the others. "And?" It then dawned on her. They were unaware of the fact that this psycho saved her from rats before getting on the train. So Maya explains the story to them.
"Well, as long as he doesn't eat us for lunch. He's ok in my book." Axton said, putting away his tomahawk. "A new ally has joined the team/Welcome/Never hurts to have more./" Zero said while putting his sword away. Salvador lowers his fists, "Welcome to the group amigo!"
Sheathing her knife. "So what's his name?" Raven asked. Maya raised a finger and opened her mouth, but no words were said. The woman's eyes shifted a little till she turned to the friendly psycho. "What is your name? You never told me."
He stares at her for a few seconds in silence. He then points to himself and shouts, "I'M THE CONDUCTOR OF THE POOP TRAIN!" Everyone slowly turned to look at each other then back to him. "No." The bluenette shook her head, "Name. Mine is Maya," Gesturing to the woman in the Lance-man armor, "Her name is Raven." She does the same with the others then points to him. "So what's your name?"
His one visible eye twitches in a frantic manner and he firmly grabs his head with both of his hands. "Hhhrgggg!" He loudly grunted. It sounded like he was in pain or in some kind of battle with himself. "Hmmmmgarrggg! Krghgg! KRIEG! He shouted to the sky, "KRIEG! HAHAHAHAHA!"
He calms down a second later, though they all can hear he is huffing and puffing. It seemed like just saying his name really drained him mentally. "Well, we know his name now." Stated Axton. "So he's a friend?" Said Claptrap, coming back from his hiding spot. "That's great! Now there are six Vault Hunters! Allow me to introduce myself I'm..." Though whatever Claptrap had to say was cut off by a loud banging noise.
"What's that?" Sal asked as he started to look around. "Not sure." Raven stated as she and the others are also looking around to find the source of the banging. Claptrap passes her. "It's coming from over there." She follows behind him and the others follow to.
In a few seconds the robot leads them to a small area that's littered with crates. Listening carefully, they were able to deduce that the banging was coming from a big one in red colors. "Is someone in there?" Asked Maya. "If so. Are they working for Jack?" Sal asked while punching his fists together.
Shaking her head, Raven counters the short man's question. "I doubt one of his men would lock themselves in a crate. I think the train had a stowaway. Zero, you think you can..." The four finger man walked up to the crate, brought his sword out, and hit the butt end of the hilt on the lock. Completely breaking it.
Just then the lid to the crate shot off when a metal fist popped out. "Thank god!" Said a young female's voice in deep relief. A person crawls out of the crate and falls onto the snow. After a second she stands up, looking down at her outfit and patting it down to get the snow off. "Um, hello?"
Quickly looking up, the red head woman spots six people standing a few feet away. All attention solely on her. "Oh hello! The name's Gaige. Who are you people?" No one could say their names as Claptrap spoke up. "Oh! Another Vault Hunter! Amazing! That's seven Vault Hunters, Jack stands no chance now!"
"Oh my god! A Claptrap, I thought they were all terminated!" The young woman kneels down in front of the yellow robot and starts looking it over. "Hmmmm, out of date but still kicking like he came off line recently. You wouldn't mind if I gave you a check up?" A clearing of the throat caught her attention. Looking over her shoulder, Gaige remembers the six other people. "Of right. Sorry."
"Introductions can wait for a bit. It's wise to get you guys inside, you humans don't work right in below freezing temps. Because you die slowly in painful manner." As if the robot's words had magic. The cold for the first time is having an affect on half of the group. Axton, Maya, Salvador, and Gaige wrapped their arms around themselves.
Raven, Zero, and surprisingly Krieg were not bothered by it. "Wait we can't leave yet. My helmet and gun are missing. I have to find them" Raven said to the group. "I understand wanting find the helmet as it's your mom's. But the gun can be replaced." Axton said to her. Trying desperately to warm his exposed arms.
Firmly shaking her head, "The gun was a gift from my dad and it's a gun that hasn't been on this planet for years. A S&S automatic rifle." Almost everyone was stunned to hear that. "Wow, haven't seen of those in a long time." Said the gunzerker. "Wait!" Interjected Claptrap. "Was the gun in a yellow and black color scheme?" He asked.
Turning to face him in the speeds to give her whiplash. "Yes! Have you seen it?" The robot tells her he has along with her Lance-man helmet and that he will take her to it. Though before he did, the robot handed each of them a Echo device which he claims he didn't loot from corpses.
