Hey everyone how's it going. How about instead of reading me talk we just get to the story sound good...right after the disclaimer.
Disclaimer-Yeah you already know that I don't own anything.
In the house the group "borrowed" for the night Naruto was still up thinking. He was confused because he could have sworn he heard that girls voice before. He knew it was before he joined up with the vault hunters. Naruto thought back to his very brief time working for Hyperion.
(FLASHBACK)
Naruto walked into the company with his friend John and his daughter.
"So John I hear you've been working on something interesting lately. Can you give your old friend some insight?"
"If I could I would and you know it but the CEO would have my head if he knew I told someone." John laughed as they got to the clock in area. "I guess we should get to it eh Naruto."
"Yeah, I'll see ya later. Bye Angel." Naruto said to the little girl that was holding Johns hand.
"Bye mister Naruto!" She said excitedly.
(FLASHBACK END)
"I wonder what happened to John and Angel. I've heard that Hyperion has a new CEO...wonder who."
"Thinking about your past again are we?" Lilith asked as she walked into Naruto's room.
"Yeah. You know that voice that we heard coming into town? I swear I've heard it before but I can't place when."
"So you're not even gonna ask why I'm still up huh?" Lilith said teasingly.
"Huh...oh sorry. What are you doing up anyway?"
"Mostly thinking."
"What about?"
"What if this hunt isn't worth it? I mean what if the vault is in fact false or even worse made to keep something contained?" Lilith asked as Naruto thought about it.
"If it's false we had a lot of fun getting to it and if was made to hold something we kill it. Simple."
"I wonder where you get that confidence from." Lilith said as she got up.
"I'm made out of it." Naruto said grinning as he got up.
"Yeah, yeah. Might as well get some rest." said Lilith "Goodnight."
"Yeah, goodnight." Naruto said as he laid down and fell asleep.
In the morning the group all left to go meet T.K. Baha. The second they left the town though they heard yelling and looking to the right they saw three bandits running at them. One of which wore a white mask and held a buzz-ax over his head yelling about his mom or something.
"Okay that's a new one." Naruto said as he threw a knife at his chest.
"YES GIVE ME MORE!" The psyco yelled as he ran at Naruto "I WANT MORE!"
"Holy- Die Damn it!" Naruto yelled as he put one in the psyco's head.
"Thank you." The Psyco said as he died.\
"That was...interesting." Naruto said as he picked up the buzz-ax the crazed man dropped. "I think I could use this."
"Are you gonna start running at people shouting out random gibberish now?" Lilith asked.
"Maybe." Was Naruto's reply.
As they walked up to T.K's house they were attacked by even MORE skags that seem to be attracted towards Naruto only (A/N-Please tell me I'm not the only person that skags single out of a group).
"Okay seriously? Why am I the only person that these things try to eat?" Naruto complained.
"Who knows? To them you might look good." Mordecai joked.
"Let's just keep going." Roland said
"Sir, yes sir." Naruto said with a mock salute.
At the top of the hill there was a small shack with a man sitting outside on the porch just listening. When they approached he pulled a double-barreled shotgun out and pointed it at them.
"You!? One more step and it'll be your last!" and with that he started laughing "You shoulda seen the look on your faces!" T.k. laughed.
"Okay that wasn't the best introduction for yourself...especially since Brick here would've torn you apart." Mordecai said as he patted the giant on his shoulder.
"Yeah, yeah. Any ways I hear you guys are going after Nine-Toes. I'll help ya out but first I need ya to get some grenades...not completely sure why but I feel as though you'll need them." T.K. said (A/N-Not dealing with the stupid food gathering mission.)
"Okay so I guess we're going back to town then. Hope we go somewhere else soon I'm getting sick of this place." Naruto said as they walked back down to Fyrestone.
"Greetings. I've decided to reopen my vending machines on Pandora. If you need weapons or ammo stop by." Said Marcus over the Echo-network.
"Okay yeah...who gave that guy our frequency?" Mordecai asked in irritation.
"He might have overheard us as we were discussing it." Roland said
"Great" Brick said with very heavy sarcasm.
The walk back to town was uneventful as the skags were still dead...for once. When the group reached the normally sealed door on the side of town the door opened and inside were two vending machines that sold guns and ammo. The gun vendor didn't have anything very useful but they did fill their ammo back up and got grenades.
"Okay now we need to go back to T.K. and see what's next." Roland said as they walked out of town...again.
The walk was short and when they got there T.K. hasn't moved.
"Okay you guys. Now that you got the grenades you're gonna need to go to Skag Gully. I blocked the entrance but had explosives set up just in case. Come on back when you killed Nine-Toes for your reward." T.K. told them as they walked away to go to Skag Gully.
"Okay yeah. Skags have a strange obsession with trying to kill me and we're going somewhere that is named after them...great." Naruto said as they walked over to Skag Gully while killing a few more skags along the way.
"Aww...I'm sorry. Just get over it and slaughter them first. You don't seem to have a problem with it." Lilith said.
"That's because they constantly try to eat me!" Naruto yelled in defense.
"Excuses, excuses." Was her response.
The explosives T.K. had set up were ready all they needed to do was hit the plunger on the fuse box and boom...or more like BOOOM! When they hit it the explosion was enough to almost wake the dead.
"WOOO...I heard that blast from all the way over hear. BAM time to give Nine-Toes a piece of that! I'm uploading your echo with his location." T.K. said VERY excitedly.
"Okay why is it that every nut job on this dust ball knows our ECHO frequency?" Mordecai asked not really expecting a response.
"Simple. Your ECHO devices transmit your frequency information to anyone you deem friendly automatically." T.K. said to them as they approached the transporter to the Gully.
"You've got to be kidding me." Was all Naruto said as they all were transported over to Skag Gully.
In a flash of light our group found themselves in a small cave with a med vendor and an ammo vendor along the wall opposite of them.
"Okay let's get a move on." Roland said taking his usual role as leader.
They moved in a standard formation. Brick in the front since he can take the most damage with Roland covering him. Naruto just behind and to the right of Brick with Lilith covering him and Mordecai covering all of them from the back.
They could see some skags in an opening up ahead and prepared for a fight.
"Okay let's just do this quickly so we can move on." Roland said...and Brick was already maiming the skags with his fists. "Well I did say quickly so...yeah that works I guess."
After a quick debate the group heads up the hill after the skag dens to find even more skag dens and what looked to be a grave to the right.
"Oh hey! I just Remembered! I ya'll find my wife's grave out there...you can find her gun in it. Don't worry I give you my blessing to do it...it's called the Lady Finger. Little red pistol with a Latin phrase written on it." T.K. said scaring the vault hunters half to death and alerting the skags to there presence.
"DAMN IT!" Naruto yelled as several of them ran straight at them while a couple of them stayed back and started spitting acid at the group. "Now they can spit acid?!"
"Apparently." Roland said.
After the group dealt with the skags in their preferred manner the went over to the grave and moved the marker to have about three guns pop out. They were the Lady Finger, a Torgue Scattergun, and a Dahl Thumper.
"Okay so who wants what?" Roland asked.
"I'll hold on to the pistol." Naruto said holstering it on his waist.
"I'll take the shot gun then." Roland said.
"I got this SMG." Mordecai said.
With that out of the way they walked up the path and found a gate with several more skags milling around outside. They quickly dealt with those and the gate opened to reveal several midget psycos running at them while screaming.
"Okay what?" Naruto said as he pulled his buzz-ax out and ready. "Now they come on fun size?"
"Whatever." Brick said as he kick one in the head thus sending him into the wall...making the psyco all but explode.
No one was surprised at the brutal display as they all took some out in their own way. Naruto sliced away with his ax seeing as it would be easier than trying to hit them with throwing knives. Lilith was just lighting them on fire with Roland taking them down with shotgun blasts. Mordecai took a few down with sniper shots and a couple with revolver shots. Brick just kicked and smashed them into the wall and ground respectively. (A/N-MIDGET ARMY!)
The end result of the carnage was a whole lot of blood and bodies everywhere and a manically grinning Brick as he laughed.
"Okay let's get going before more show up...if that's even possible." Roland said.
The cave that the legion of angry short people ran out of was pretty spacious but had a gigantic hole in the middle of it, with a path that led around said death pit...complete with bandits guarding the way. Mordecai took care of them before they even knew the vault hunters were even there.
After a short walk they reached an elevator that led to the bandit leader Nine-Toes.
"Be careful. This is your first challenge on the road to find the vault." The guardian angel said as they all got on the elevator.
The ride was short and when they got to the bottom they all heard a loud maniacal laughter. Then on the stage at the far end of the room Nine-Toes showed himself. He had on a psyco mask with spikes on his head and chest with a pair of orange pants with tattoos on him. He had a red pistol that had a red glowing area near the handle showing that it was a fire elemental weapon. He also had a sign around his waist that said safety fist.
"You woke the wrong dog." Was all he said as he pulled his gun and started firing. Just when the vault hunters started to fight back two skags came running out. They were both armored and had even more armor nailed onto them.
"You've got to be kidding me." Naruto said as he got into cover.
"Nope...life just likes to screw you over." Lilith said as she got into cover beside him.
Roland had his turret out and Mordecai was in cover by the back wall and Brick was trying to land a hit on Nine-Toes.
There we go...one more out of the way. I thought I could add a few bits from Naruto's past in there. It should make when I eventually get to Borderlands2 more interesting. I hope ya'll enjoyed it and I hope to see ya'll again.
Till next time.
