(Author's note: the first story of the year. This story takes place in Borderlands 2.)

The planet of Pandora is a dangerous place full of psychos, dangerous wildlife, and pretty much something is trying to kill you on the planet. With that being said, anything unusual is the norm for Pandora, even someone who is out of the water.

There was an unconscious teenage girl on a snowy ground. She had black and red hair and wore a red and black outfit that included a red hooded cloak; next to her was a weird-looking red scythe. The girl started to wake up, opening her silver eyes and sitting up.

"What happened? Where am I? "the girl thought.

She slowly gets up, and picks up the scythe, and looks around to see a catch-a-ride with a few vending machines. Then she noticed the moon and a space station in the sky.

"Wait, the moon isn't shattered; am I even in Remnant ?" The girl thought

Then she hears an animal noise. She turns to see a few skags come running out at her. The girl turned the scythe into a sniper rifle and started shooting at the skags until all of them were dead.

"Those things aren't Grimms. I need to find out where I am. " The girl thought her phone wouldn't work until she saw the signal. Her team is probably worried about me.

"Woah, did you do this?" The girl turns around to see an older teen with orange hair done in pigtails and a robotic arm.

"Um, yes," said the girl.

"That's fantastic; less skag to worry about, I'd say."

"Thanks, I guess."

"Are you new to Pandora because I'm also new to Pandora?"

"Pandora? This isn't remnant? "

"No, I've never heard about that planet before."

"Crap, I'm on a totally different planet. How did I even get up here? " The girl thought, then asked, "Um, is there a way off of this planet?"

"Not that I know of."

"Oh," the girl said, her face sad.

The older girl tries to change the subject and looks at the weapon. "I've never seen a girl like that before. What is it? "

The girl made a small smile and said, "yeah, I made it myself."

"Really, that's so cool. I never met someone who made their own gun. "

"As well as that." The girl turns the rifle into "a scythe."

The older teen was amazed that it was so freaking cool. "

"Got any cool weapons of your own?"

The older teen undigitized a white and red torgue shotgun. "I got this bad boy."

"Wow, that's an awesome looking shotgun,"

"Thanks, I found it in a chase, so what's your name?"

"Ruby, yours?"

"Gaige: Hey, I'm doing this job, and seeing how you got a weapon like that, you think you can help, and afterward, we can find a way to help you get back home."

"Yes, I'll help you with your job," Ruby replied to Gaige's question, then thought, "at least she's going to help me get home."

"Great, first we need a ride because some a-hole bullymong destroyed my last ride." Gaige went to the catch-a-ride and got a Light runner. "Do you want to drive or take the gunner seat?"

"I'll take the gunner's seat."

Ruby gets into the gunner seat on the runner, and Gaige takes the driver's seat, and they drive off.
