This fanfic is about Borderlands 2.
It will be told in the POV of my OC, Terra.
It will contain lesbianism, possible lemon, cussing, violence, gore, blood, and character death.
With all of this out of the way, let's get started.
Chapter 13
When I opened my eyes, I saw that I was in a dream of sorts, with me and Lilith being in an area that looked to be an orphanage with a lot of other children, all of them humans and us two in a corner and eating together, us looking quite happy to be together. "Did you hear, Lily? There's at least 50 different people outside this place wanting to adopt! We may finally be able to get outta here!" I smiled at her as I noticed we were about 7 and 8 in age with me being the younger one. "I dunno, Kendra... I mean, we've been here ever since we were babies and nobody has wanted us for the sole reason that we're Sirens... man, it's like they hate us just because we're different," Lilith said to me... now I knew that we were both orphans and that my original birth name was Kendra.
We then got some visitors in two distinct different people. One looked to be a man and the other a woman, but I couldn't see their faces because the vision was a bit blurry. "Okay, go ahead and look around and see which of these little ones you want," the orphanage owner smiled at the duo, me guessing they were married. "I wonder who we should get..." the woman asked. I looked over to them with a smile, wondering if they would want to have me, but they didn't look at me right away, instead darting their eyes everywhere but the corner me and Lilith sat at. Not only that, but all the other kids immediately went up to them the moment they arrived.
"Here we go again..." Lily sighed as her tattoos began to glow and she had to use her powers out the open window next to us. But it also got the couple's attention because of the large flume of fire leaving her hands and landing on the ground outside... good thing it was paved. "My word... is that what I think it is?" the woman asked. They then went past the slew of children and came to the corner, my heart racing with every step they took closer to us. "Lily..." I gawked as she looked their way, a smile on her face for one of the first times I'd seen it. "Are you two little ones Sirens?" the woman asked. "Yeah, we are... but nobody wants us just because of our powers..." I admitted shyly.
"How long have you been here?" the man of the duo asked. "We've been here since we were born... our parents left us on the front doorsteps... we never even met them ourselves," Lilith frowned. "Well, then. How would you girls like to join a family?" the father asked, my eyes going wide as I felt my powers flare up again, the ground starting to shift itself around the outside of the wooden house. "We can also try to help you learn to control your powers better if you want. Believe it or not, we are scientists that study the powers of Sirens," the man said. "Really? Please! Please take us!' I smiled with my eyes starting to emit tears of joy. "Okay, we'll take both of you," my new mom smiled.
I smiled happily as the duo then filled out the paperwork and we received our new names. "Okay, your name is now Lilith," the orphanage caretaker smiled at Lily. "And your new name is Tara." I smiled at the chance to be given a new name. A new chance at life. "We'll protect you as long as we can," my new mom smiled at me. The vision then faded as I felt myself waking up to Torgue's voice on my Echo.
"WHY ARE ALL THE CAMERAS NOT WORKING?! WHY IS THERE GAS ALL THROUGH THE ARENA?! WHERE THE HELL DID THE VAULT HUNTERS GO OFF TO?!" Torgue exclaimed in rapid succession, me groaning awake as I saw the others were all just waking up too. "Where the hell are we?" I asked aloud as I looked around us and saw we weren't in the arena, but in some kind of room with a furnace and some stairs here and there. "I think Piston wants us out of the competition, so he gassed us and then trapped us in here. What say we escape?" Tina smirked. "I agree on that much! I'll us my powers and we'll get out of here in style," I smirked as I focused my powers underneath all of our feet and I had us ride the ground the whole way out through the roof and into the open air, me repairing the metal after we jumped off the top of the arena and I had us land on the ground gently.
"WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED AND WHERE ARE THE VAULT HUNTERS?!" Torgue asked. "Let me educate you, Torgue," I heard Piston say on the Echo. "The Vault Hunters ran. They ran away because they heard they were supposed to face me. They ran away like little babies," Piston said, me growling as I Phase Shifted his and Torgue's Echos specifically with my powers and gave my two-sense. "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME! THAT NEVER HAPPENED! WE JUST WOKE UP IN A FURNACE AREA AFTER WE GOT GASSED BY YOU! IF ANYONE IS THE COWARD, IT IS YOU, YOU LYING MOTHERFUCKER!" I exclaimed into the Echo as loud as I could.
"SINCE TERRA THE SUPER SIREN SAID IT LOUDER THAN PISTON, I HAVE TO SAY THAT PISTON IS NOT BEING TRUTHFUL! WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY TO THE VAULT HUNTERS ABOUT THIS, PISTON?!" Torgue yelled into the Echos. "Peh. I stick to my story. They're just a bunch of sniveling cowards. They couldn't hurt me even if they tried," Piston said with a cocky attitude, me growling at his words. "Oh, is that right, asshole? Just you wait. We're going to go up in the ranks by defeating the other badasses ranked ahead of us. And then, when we reach rank 2, we're going to destroy you! I'm sure that your blood would be perfect for opening this particular vault," I smirked. "OH SNAP! SHE TOLD OFF THE GREAT PISTON EVERYONE! THAT IS TRULY BADASS!" Torgue exclaimed. "Peh. I'll be waiting for you then, bitch," Piston smirked.
"So who's number 4 on the rankings? That's the question," Maya asked. It was then that I got a message from Angel. "Hello? Is this thing on?... Sorry, not used to using Echo communicators... anyways, the number 4 badass in the tournament is a guy named Pyro Pete. He's in the Beatdown in his personal bar. Once you eliminate him, you'll be one step closer to taking the grand prize inside the vault," Angel smiled at me... even though her face was upside-down when she used the Echo. "Okay, just got a message from an upside-down Angel saying we should head to the Beatdown. Anyone want to come with?" I smiled. "I think I'd like to stay with Tiny Tina and Angel... I want to talk to my daughter for the first time in years," Krieg smiled. "Understood. It's gonna be me, Maya, and Gaige then. Let's go, ladies," I smiled at my fellow Vault Hunters, all of us heading out to the bar in question that Angel marked on my map. It was to the east and inside of a small city area. "Let's go roast this Pyro Pete fella," Maya smiled.
Once we reached the Beatdown, we saw a lot of different guys dressed in fire-retardant clothes and some were even riding motorcycles that had to be taken out with my Siren powers destroying their tires and causing the riders to eat the pavement in the process. "Damn, all these goons are going after us like we're a chocolate cake!" Gaige admitted. "Peh. That's one thing I don't like the taste of," Maya admitted. "Wut?! How can ya not like chocolate?" I asked her in shock. "It's just... too sweet for me. In fact, the only type of sweet food I like is pumpkin pie," Maya admitted. "Well, I'm sure we can try and find some pumpkin pie somewhere," I smiled. "That'd be the day," Maya admitted as we finally reached the bar and got a message from Pyro Pete. "Ah, so the Vault Hunters are coming to face me, eh? You're gonna burn in the fiery flames of my passion! HEHHEHA!" Pete laughed out loud as Torgue came on the horn. "HIS GIMMICK IS THAT HE USES FIRE!" Torgue exclaimed.
"You think we didn't know that?" I chuckled as we entered the bar and went into the downstairs lobby and to the right, finding a secret entrance to a separate area of it behind a dresser. "Let's crash his party," I smiled as we went down the elevator and we came across Pyro Pete himself. "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS FIGHT IS GONNA BE FLAMING HOT! IT'S PYRO PETE VS THE VAULT HUNTERS!" Torgue exclaimed as I saw that Pete himself was a bald guy with a fire retardant suit and wielding arm-mounted flamethrowers. "HEHE! YOU'RE GONNA BURN UP BADLY!" Pete laughed as he tried to shoot me with a flamethrower, but I blocked the attack by conjuring a wall of rock and metal to block it. "What the hell?!" he asked in shock. "You're not the only one with powers, bub," I smiled as Maya then trapped him in a Phase Lock, Pete getting suspended in the air for Gaige to finish off with a super punch to the face. Pyro Pete's head exploded from the sheer force of the punch! "Heh. One punch girl," she smiled.
"THE VAULT HUNTERS HAVE DEFEATED PYRO PETE AND HAVE CLAIMED THE NUMBER 4 BADASS RANKING! I BELIEVE HE ALSO KIDNAPPED A SPONSOR! YOU CAN'T HAVE TOO MANY OF THEM!" Torgue exclaimed. "Really? Let's see who it is," I smiled as we then went up an elevator, then through a tube, and we eventually found a prison cell with one of our old friends trapped inside. "Moxxi? What the heck are you doing here?" I asked as I bent the bars so she could escape easily. "Well, I was trying to find a place to set up shop since I want a stake in Torgue's business, but I got captured by Pyro Pete. Now how about I team up with you and that precious angelic girl so that we can be the most unstoppable force of girl power in this whole contest?" Moxxi smiled. "Agreed wholeheartedly," I smiled at her. "Now let's get out of here and back to Angel. We need to regroup before we go after the Number 3 badass," Maya smiled.
