Hi, welcome back. This is my second fanfic, so go to my account and read the first one. I don't own borderlands or ratchet and clank, just my OCs. The story takes place after rift apart and nearly the beginning of borderlands 3. Enjoy.

Chapter one: arriving to the borderlands

BOOM!

An explosion was heard nearby as rivet gets pummeled into a wall from the force of the explosion, she felt pain on her left arm and it was clear to the white lombax that she earned a bruise from the impact.

"Shit" she muttered as she put her robotic hand on her arm, looking at it, she looked to where she got knocked from and saw ratchet battling emperor nefarious with clank on the male lombax's back.

"Are you alright?" She heard the voice of kit as she turned her head to look at the war bot on her right. "Yeah, I'm fine," she replied as she got up and brushed the dirt off her clothes.

"Man, I knew our nefarious was gonna come back eventually but never this fast." rivet said as she watched the lombax and robot emperor fighting. It's been 2 months since they defeated nefarious and during that time, ratchet and clank found an unbreakable purple rock after the battle for megalopolis. They've been looking for anything that matches the purple stone with any documents about minerals, at first they thought it was phase quarts but it's not clear like the dimensional mineral. 8 minutes ago, they considered it's probably from another dimension that's got sucked into one of the rifts, so they decided to use the dimensionator but that's when emperor nefarious, and some newly built war bots, attacked to claim his revenge on the lombaxes being fully repaired from the finale battle, they managed to destroy them but nefarious got hold of the device again but this time he's going to send them to a black hole or something. One of the destroyed war bots exploded next to rivet and that leaves us to where they are now.

"You may have bested me before, lombax. but this time won't be like last time, i'm will have my revenge and send you to the afterlife. In other words…" nefarious says as rivet attaches kit to her back as she ran back to the fight with her omni-hammer in her robotic right hand while nefarious pressed a few buttons on the dimensionator before aiming at ratchet and clank.

"I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU!"

Rivet had no weapons because she left them at home, but she has the purple stone so she could use it to knock the dimensionator off of the emperor's hand if she give it a good swing, so she took out the stone from her pocket and hitted it with her hammer like a baseball, but the emperor noticed this and immediately reacted and fired but he was to late, rivet already hitted the rock and it was coming at the dimensional beam and when they collided, the purple rock absorbed the energy and it was starting to glow an eerie purple.

"What did you do?!" nefarious shouted as the rock glowed brighter and brighter as purple electricity started to spark.

"Oh dear." clank says before the rock shot into the air and exploded and created a portal. The group was shocked to see this but they snapped back to normal as they heard the sounds of a confused nefarious.

"Hey, what's happening, why am I floating?" the emperor said before being sucked into the portal while he tried his best to get away. it wasn't just the emperor, rivet's robot arm started to get sucked in too, then kit, then the broken warbots, then the dimensionator and finally clank who realised what's happening as the lombaxes grabbed their robot partners.

"The portal's magnetic! It's sucking up anything metal!" he stated as ratchet was holding on to his friend. "Hold on buddy!" ratchet shouts as he holds onto clank while holding a metal pipe, which was starting to break.

"You to kit!" Rivet said to the war bot as she held onto her as with the white lombax's robot arm as her real arm was holding onto some railing, she couldn't help but feel like this seemed familiar, she watched the emperor get sucked into the portal along with the dimensionator.

"The dimensionator!" she shouts as the metal pipe that ratchet held onto finally gave in and broke as the male lombax was still holding onto the war bot defect started to get pulled in.

"Ratchet, clank!" she shouted before turning her head to the yellow warbot and they both nodded and rivet lets go of the railing to save their friends. When they all got sucked in the portal started to close and made a pop sound when it closed. Now one question remains, where are they going?

In Rivet's POV, she starts to open her eyes with blurry vision. Back at the third POV, rivet lifts her head up and rubs her eyes before she looks around if there wasn't a blinding light. Her eyes were starting to adjust and she could see that she was in some kind of desert, it took 3 seconds to realise to look for the others but she was relieved when she saw that they were nearby, unconscious. She looked around and noticed the purple rock a meter away from her, the rock that must've brought them here so she got up and brushed herself and approached the rock before picking it up, she looked around a bit more with one question on her mind, where are they?. a minute or so later, ratchet, clank and kit woke up with confused expressions.

"What happened, are we in a desert?" ratchet asked as he got up and noticed rivet approaching them, checking their surroundings. "I don't know but i think it has something to do with this" she replied as she handed ratchet the purple rock to her dimensional counterpart.

"Hmm, I believe that the portal we've sucked into was some kind of a reaction to when the energy of the phase quarts and the minerale collided" clank stated "so if we use the dimensionator, we'll be back home" ratchet said "but there's one problem, the dimensionator is nowhere in sight" rivet corrected but while the group was talking, kit was staring at something.

"Uh, guys?" She said to get the group's attention and saw a large billboard with a picture of a masked figure holding a bladed staff with a lot of guns behind the figure but they were more focused on the words the board says.

"We are the children of the vault" kit read aloud, leaving the others confused.

"Who are the 'children of the vault'?" ratchet asks before hearing footsteps behind them, they all turned to see 4 humans, one was a man and had a mask like the one on the board and had a massive blade on his hand, one was also a man but much shorter, the third was a really fat man and the final one was a woman and had face paint and was holding a rifle and they were slowly approaching our heros with murderous intent.

"Them, I believe." Clank said nervously

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" The woman said in a ghoulish and cheeky voice.

"Face-meat thinks we have mutant ratch and little robots on our turf." The masked one answered, making the woman groan in annoyance.

"I know we have mutant ratch and little robots on our turf, face-meat!" The woman shouted at the masked one whose name is face-meat.

"Can we eat them?" The fat one asked, causing the two lombaxes to shudder.

"No because I've got a better idea, we kill them and take them as offerings to the twin gods and use the robots for scrap metal" the midget answered before the other three bellowed in agreement.

"FUCK YES! FACE-MEAT LOVES IDEA. FACE MEAT KILL MUTANT RATCHES AND GIVE THEM TO THE TWIN GODS!" Face-meat shouted like a maniac in the third person as he started yelling and running towards the lombaxes with his weapon raised in the air.

"Oh dear" clank said as the lombaxes readied their omni-tools to fight.

"FOR GOD-QUEEN TYRE-!" face meat shouted before a loud bang was heard as face-meat fell over face first lifeless as blood started to pour out of the head.

Ratchet and rivet were shuddering at the sight while the humans saw what happened.

"Fuck! It's the vault thief, let's get out of here before-!" The midget shouted before suddenly a dog like creature with a backpack came out of nowhere and bit down on the midget and shaking him around like a chew toy as blood started to flail around everywhere and the midget was screaming in pain before the dog ripped the midget's head off with its jaws, causing the lombaxes to cover their eyes to not look at the sight.

The fat guy was about to crush the creature before a monkey with glasses and a spider with a drill leg jumped from behind and started attacking the fat man, who was thrashing to get the off until the spider used its drill arm to drill his spine, causing him to start screaming in pain before monkey pulled out a pistol and shot the fat man in the face.

The woman readied her gun and aim at the 2 creatures on the now dead fat guy before a hooded figure suddenly appeared right behind her and tapped her shoulder, the woman looked behind before immediately got shot in the face by the figure with a sniper rifle in hand, making her to fall on the ground dead like the others. The lombaxes were paralysed in fear, they just watched 4 people die right in front of them while the figure approached the 3 creatures and crouched before petting them, are they this guy's pets?!

It took 5 seconds until the figure turned their head to the group to reveal one lime green eye. this made one thing clear, this was a robot. The robot stood up and approached the group with its weapon in hand. The lombaxes were at their guard as the robot approached but when it stopped, it spoke in a deep, calming, robotic male voice.

"Are you alright?" He asked the lombaxes, who nodded. "Good, quickly we must move before more of their pack arrives" He said before walking off with his pets following.

"W-wait!" Rivet said, causing the robot to stop and look back at the group.

"Who are you? Where are we?" The white lombax asked before the robot put his weapon away and crossed his arms before answering.

"I am FL4K. And you are on the borderlands of Pandora, the most dangerous planet in the galaxy."

There we are, the first chapter of this new crossover, hope you enjoyed it. Weren't expecting Fl4k to save the lombaxes and robots from bandits in the first chapter were you? Anyway, the next chapter will feature emperor nefarious and what happened to him. Bye.
