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 28
"So let me get this straight," mom said as we made our way out of the cave and into the open sun once again. I had just finished telling her and dad about my adventures. "You came to Pandora as a Vault Hunter to go after Handsome Jack, but he destroyed your train and you woke up with memory loss... then after getting rescued, you made your way to Sanctuary and along the way made a budding relationship with the Guardian Angel. And after seeing that your adoptive sister Lilith was alive, you decided to join up with Sanctuary to defeat Handsome Jack once and for all by stealing his Vault Key... and when you got to the key, you had to purify Angel of Eridium because of her being injected with it so much she became dependent on it... only Jack came in, killed your commanding officer, and then kidnapped Lilith. You soon regrouped with your friends in Sanctuary and went after Jack and ultimately defeated him and the Warrior he summoned... and Lilith was saved afterwards? Sounds like you've had an eventful few weeks," mom smirked.
"That's an understatement. There were other jobs that I performed to get two more Vaults opened and also going inside the mindset of my 13 year old comrade to combat the craziness that resided inside of her," I smiled. "You went inside someone's mind? Who was it?" dad asked in curiosity. "Her name is Tiny Tina, and she is the 2nd youngest member of our team of badasses as well as Sanctuary's explosives expert. She was set up for Eridium Testing when her family got sold out to Hyperion, but she was able to escape thanks to some smart thinking by her parents... but sadly, her mother died from the testing and her father turned into a Psycho, only being rescued by me when I went to a competition in a tournament to become the number 1 Badass on Pandora. You heard of it?" I smiled.
"Well, that sounds horrid, but yes, I think I've heard of that tournament... Sandman was an avid listener of Torgue broadcast, after all," dad said. "Anyways, the tournament had me and my allies combating against tons of badasses, but none of them lasted long against my powers over rock and metal. Krieg, Tina's father, tried to challenge our group after we had taken care of a crap ton of enemies, but I have an innate ability that makes me purify Eridium that I touch, so I just did that to Krieg's body and he was healed in a snap both physically and mentally," I explained. "You sound like you've saved just as many people as you've killed," mom smirked. "Well, that's an understatement. Everyone on this planet was saved by me and Angel defeating Jack. Not only our planet, but the entire Solar System!" I said with a smile. "You're right... you've saved tons of people," Maya smirked.
"Can one man really be that dangerous?" Lustab asked as I then got the idea to text Angel about the Hyperion convoy we'd have to come across. We had also gotten into 2 different Sand Skiffs with Maya riding in mine and Lustab's skiff in the boat part. "Yes he was. He was a tyrannical overlord that killed his way to the top, stole the credit for the original opening of the Vault of the Destroyer, and then put tons of different laws in place that would force people to live in fear of death from them. There was a law that being excessively cute was punishment for death! And being a Siren? That's punishable by death too! Also, anytime he pleased, he could label someone as a bandit and have people kill them for their bounties. My bounty, now that I remember, said that I was wanted for 700 billion dollars because of me being a Siren and because I was too dark-skinned," I frowned.
"Too dark-skinned was a crime?! That's horrid!" mom growled. "That's why, when Angel convinced Hyperion that she should be the new president, she then started to abolish every single law that Jack put in place that was punishable by death as well as any law that was stupid in and of itself. He said that anyone who spoke badly of Jack's name was to be killed on sight, as well as anyone who mentioned his wife, who he also killed," I frowned. "That's just monstrous... he sounds like the worst monster in the world, ten times worse than a Scaylion in heat and 50 times worse than a Rabid Skag," Lustab frowned. "You aren't wrong on that," Maya sighed at her.
We then got a message from Angel afterwards. "Okay, I talked to the convoy in question and I told him that you'd be coming to purchase the compass piece... I had to haggle with them for a bit and we finally settled on 50 bucks... they originally wanted you to pay 100 thousand dollars for it, which I immediately thought ludicrous because of it being just a simple compass piece. So I got it through their skulls that this artifact wasn't that expensive if it was just a piece of a compass, so he finally lowered the price to 50," Angel said. "Guess some people in Hyperion are still going by their old rules..." Gaige groaned. "Which I am trying to get rid of, bit by bit, I promise," Angel said. "Thanks for that, hon... we'll go out to eat when we come back, okay?" I smiled at her. "At what restaurant? Moxxi's?" Angel giggled. "Naw, I had a better place in mind... or preferably, in Tina's mind," I smiled, getting Angel's attention with that. "Ah, I get you now. With her vivid imagination, she could give us a food experience we'd never forget," Angel smirked. "That's the idea," I giggled.
"So Tina is really vivid with her imagination, huh? Mind telling us what her mind was like when you entered it?" dad asked. "It was styled to look like a medieval fantasy world, complete with skeletons, dragons, fairies, knights in shining armor, and the Handsome Sorcerer being Tina's crazy side... guess who he was modeled after," I smirked. "I already have an idea, and I don't like that idea," mom smiled. But just as we were about to laugh it off, something happened the moment we entered Wurmwater.
The ground around our skiffs started to shake rigorously as we then heard a loud, deep roar. "Argh! Bloody hell, the Leviathan is back again! Ugh, that creature is a big nuisance to my sand pirates, but sadly, we need it alive as it is the guardian to the Vault and its treasure. I've tried to track it down for years and it even ate my pet Roscoe! And he was as big as my entire ship!" Scarlett complained into the Echo. "Really? A pet that was as big as your whole ship? My guess is that it was a Rakk Hive, correct?" Lustab asked. "Wow, you got it on your first guess! You must be very good with animals," Scarlett smiled. "Well, I am an Aegran, and Aegran people are required to hunt to get their food," Lustab smiled. "Really? You need to try a pizza," I smirked at her. "What is a pizza?" she asked. "Only one of the tastiest foods known to man! We know someone back in Sanctuary who makes the best pizza on the planet," Maya smiled as our group then moved towards the blip that Angel gave me so I would get to the Hyperion caravan.
And when we arrived, we saw that there were a good few Badass Loaders with big guns on their bodies, as well as a few different Hyperion workers along with it. We parked our skiffs on the dry rocks so the sand worms wouldn't be able to reach us, and we approached the Hyperion personnel without our weapons, them immediately arming themselves when they saw us. "Whoa! Hold up, mates. We're the ones that Angel sent. For the compass piece?" I asked them, which made the workers lower their guard and for them to order the robots to stand down.
"So you're this Amnesiac Siren that has been talked about so often on the Echo waves, huh? Why would you want this compass piece so badly, anyways?" the one guy asked, him looking to be an Engineer. "Well, it's actually a piece of a memento for one of my allies and I really want to make her happy," I smirked honestly. "Well, if you're the girls sent by Angel, you'll need to prove it," the one Hyperion guy said. "How so?" Maya asked. "Answer this question. Who is Angel's birth father?" the guy asked. "That's an easy one. His name is Handsome Jack, monster, wife killer, and the one who put stupid, murderous laws in place that made it so that cute people, Sirens, and dark-skinned people were supposed to be killed just for existing," I frowned, making the three of the humans of Hyperion gasp when I said the last two things.
"You seem to be accusing our old leader of an awful lot of horrible things. And we don't like that," the Hyperion guy growled at me. "Yeah, well Angel hates him too. That's why she killed him herself as vengeance for all the innocent people he killed... and believe me, he only killed one bandit for every 10 innocents he offed," I frowned. The workers looked a bit shell shocked to learn that particular bit of information, but nonetheless, I answered their question correctly. "So, about that compass piece?" I frowned. "Yeah... just, fork over the 50 and we'll give it to you," the head guy frowned. "Deal," I said bluntly as I handed over a 50 dollar bill, which I saw had a picture of an Eridium Bar on it. After the man pocketed it, he then went over to the convoy and got a small piece of the compass from it. It was almost the same exact design as the piece we got from Sandman, the only difference being that it had the North and Northeast signs on it whereas Sandman's said South, Southeast, and East. "Thanks for your business," the man said. "No, no, thank you," I smiled as we then headed back to the skiffs and left on our way to Scarlett's ship, us making sure they didn't follow us as we finally made it back to the ship. "Let's deliver the goods," I smirked.
