It wasn't long after Lux came out of the fast travel that Gaige followed with the large man close behind her. Lux was checking where exactly they were, using an echo/hud device he found back with their guns, when they all heard a female voice and saw a glitchy, distorted, image of what he assumed was the women talking.
"Hello," the voice started. "I'm sorry, I thought you died in the crash. If I had known I would have had the others come get you."
"Other?" Lux said.
"Yes, the other vault hunters," She told him. "Anyway, I am Angel, a A.I. I helped the first vault hunters,and the ones that were on the train with you."
"Where are they?" Gaige asked.
"They are actually behind you now, perks of knowing how to fix a fast travel station, well done." Angel praised Gaige, who only smiled in response. "I will make sure that they pick you up on their way by sit tight."
With that the image faded and leaving the three of them alone.
About ten minutes passed when Gaige turned and asked Lux. "So, you said you had some kind of special trick to help you fight."
"Yeah I use the…"
He was cut off by Angel suddenly shouting at them, "LOOK OUT!" shortly followed by a car came whipping out of a nearby tunnel.
Gaige and Lux dove in opposite directions, the psycho however, launched himself at the car slamming his buzz axe into the hood of the car, causing it to lose control. The car still managed to drive another thirty feet before flipping and landing on top of the psycho.
"Looks like it'll be a demonstration then!" Lux shouted out.
Giage looked over just in time to see Lux throw a knife, that looked oddly high tech. There was a flash of blue light then and lux was gone. Upon hearing a gunshot her head snapped over to the car to see it's six occupants now all standing with weapons drawn except for the one Lux shot in the head from point blank.
Gaige quickly stood up and dash over to try and help, summoning Death Trap along the way. By the time that she reached them, Lux had emptied silinder into another's chest killing him too. As soon as Gaige was in range she blasted another bandit with her shotgun, and D.T. clawed open the fourth one. She just managed to see a something silver and blue fly past her face, before hearing more gunshots. Gaige looked over seeing Lux about to kick a bandit in order to finish him off, and when the kick landed she heard a sickening crunch.
Her line of sight was blocked by D.T. drifting in front of her blocking bullets and keeping her safe.
In response Gaige dove out and shot at the bandit, with death trap serging forward and burying it claws in the last bandit.
Lux let out a breath and said, "Right time to get this car off…"
"RRRRAAAAAWWWW!"
"Oh for fuck's sake," He shouted as they looked up to see a rather large Bullymong.
Both of the standing vault hunter started to raise their weapons, when another car came barreling through, and splattered the bullymong.
"We heard you could use a ride."
The three of them looked at the two people in the car. One was a man in his late twenties, who Lux guessed was a soldier turned freelancer, based off his gear. The other was a women, also in her late twenties, and Lux new right away that she was a siren from her tattoos.
The women was the first to get out of the car, and the moment that the psycho saw her he shouted. "Petty laddy, I SEE YOU!"
"Krieg you're okay," the siren said with a small smile.
Two more out runners pulled up with a person dressed in all black, including a helmet that covered his face. In the other there was a rather short man with an orange shirt and jeans with blue hair.
"Gaige, help me get this off him," Lux said to the distracted girl.
The two of them then attempted to lift the car, with some help from krieg. The four other vault hunters were about to get out to help. When to their surprise the three then managed to move the car off of him.
"Alright then you three hop in and let's get going," Said the ex-soldier.
"Hold up there I think some introductions are in order," the blue haired women told him, as she got out of her seat and walked over. "I'm Maya, the guy in a hurry is Axton," Axton just waved, "the short one is Salvador."
"Hola new amigos," Salvador greated.
"And the mystery is Zer0."
";)" was he only response that they got from him.
"Hey amigo these thing only seat two how will we fit the three of them?" Salvador said raising a good point.
"Dibbs hanging off the back," Lux explained as her jumped onto the back of an out runner.
"You're crazy amigo," Salvador told Lux. "We'll get along fine."
Krieg then climbed into the same one as Zer0, as Gaige climb into the one driven by salvador, same one Lux is hanging off the back of. Once everyone was loaded up the vault hunter headed out.
While they were riding through the snow filled fields of three horns divide, Gaige decided to ask Lux a question. "How did you just appear and disappear like that earlier?"
Lux pulled out a throwing knife and handed it to Gaige. The knife looked pretty normal except for the high tech looking handle, and the light blue glow the blade was emitting. "It's a beacon that's activated when the blade sinks into something. Unless i'm holding onto it. And once it actives my synthetic leg activates and teleports me to the knife."
"Wait it teleports you," Gaige started. "Like a fast trevelstation does?"
"Yes, Made it myself," he told her proudly. "You're not the only smart one."
"Then why didn't you fix the fast travel?"
"I never even got a chance to look at it," He defended himself.
-Author's note-
I meant to put this at the end of chapter one but got a little excited and forgot. Just something that I thought that would be important for you all to know is that the are no new you stations. Otherwise there are just no stakes at all, ever. And if anyone ever died it wouldn't stick longer than it would take to bill them.
Anyway let me know what you think, and thanks for reading.
