Pandora...a sorry excuse of a planet. Its two sun's keep the surface a blistering 130 degrees with a day length of 36 hours. Pandora holds some of the most savage blood thirsty creatures ever to exist in this universe. I am here to fine my old mentor and to receive something of great value to him. It has been two years since I've last seen him and I have no leads as to where he is on this rock. But I am a hunter by nature and I will find him. Since I have come to Pandora I have seen nothing but a wasteland of sand and death. I have however managed to befriend and train one of the native birds here and named him Bloodwing. He is the only friend I have and care to have here. As I walk through the desert unsure what lay before me I hear a low rumble from behind me. I scan the horizon through my scope and spot a small bus heading my way. As I sit to wait I pull a small chunk of meat from one of my pockets and feed it to Blood. The bus stops just short of me and I stand up and walk to the door.

"Ha Ha how do you do my friend? My name is Marcus."

"I just need a ride to the next town."

"Get on get on I can take you anywhere you what as long as you got the cash to pay. Oh and stay away from that guy in the back. He looks as though he could crush this bus with his bare hands ha ha."

As I got on the bus I notice some of the other locals sitting in the back. A motley crew of people one completely different from the other. I road on that bus for what seemed like hours before something happened that would change my life forever. I suddenly heard a voice call my name, confused I looked behind me only to fined there was no one there. The voice called to me again and I started to see a faint blue light next to me. The face of a beautiful woman began to appear and started to speak to me.

"Hello, can you hear me? Please listen to me, don't let anyone know I am talking to you. I want you to get off at this stop I will explain everything soon."

"Stop the bus I'm getting off."

"Aww leaving so soon, don't worry I think we'll be doing all this again sometime."

As the bus sped away in a cloud of dust I looked around at what a shit hole this place was. Suddenly I heard a "Hello" from behind me. I turned around to find what looked like a talking trash can with wheels sitting there.

"What the hell are you supposed be."

"My name is CL4P-TP but you can call me Clap Trap. I'll be your guide through the town of Fyrestone."

"What ever, where can I get something to drink"

"Well there isn't any restaurants her but our local doctor can help you out follow me."

As he lead me through the back ally's of the makeshift town I saw piles of trash and skag vomit filled with various items and the remains of their unfortunate victims. As we came to the center of town the little robot suddenly stopped. He looked around nervously and started to shake.

"Oh no, something isn't right. Where is everyone?"

Suddenly a bullet ricochet off the little tin can and he started to spark as he screamed and ran for cover.

"Bandits!"

They started coming out of nowhere and began to open fire. I quickly ducked behind a nearby barrel and signaled to Blood who had been flying over head. He started to dive bomb the unlucky bandits tearing into them with his claws drawing their fire away from me. I spotted a nice place to provide sniper fire on a building to the left of me, and fired a couple shots at the bandits as I moved in and out of cover. When I came to the back of the house I was jumped by a midget wielding a makeshift axe. I pulled out my sword just in time to block the attack. As our blades hit sparks flew igniting a nearby gas can. I kicked the bandit square in the chest and jumped behind the side of the house just as the can exploded engulfing the midget in flames. To my surprise he got back up and continued to attack screaming wildly in an erie high pitched squeal not unlike a pig. I decided to end our battle getting no joy in seeing him burn. I side stepped his lunge and with one swipe removed his head from his body. By this time the other bandits had taken notice as the fire had begun to spread. I climbed up on top of the house and quickly put two shots into the heads of the nearest bandits. The blood from the back of their heads painted the ground with a glorious red color scaring the others onto hiding. I waited until Blood gave the all clear sign.

"He he these bandits aren't so tough, I didn't even break a sweat."

"Wow...yyyou...killeddd...all...those...bbanditss...alone."

"What the hells wrong with you?"

"Its...sseems...I...hhhavee...sufffferd...sommme...ddamage."

"What do you want me to do, it's your problem you fix it?"

"Well, now thats not very nice."

"Who the hell are you?"

"I reckon I'm the authority in these parts, my name's Zed, Dr. Zed."

"Well, doc I'm going to need some water and supplies so I can get out of this festering shit hole."

"Whoa what's the rush? Why don't you stop by my shop and I'll fix you up with some fresh new gear you look like you could use it."

"Whatever the sooner I get out of here the better."

Dr. Zed was a character pulled strait out of the crazy files. He loved to cut open folks wether alive or dead to see what made them tick, probably why he lost his license. Now he watches over Fyrestone and has set up vending machines all over the planet to heal people for him. He had a maniacal twitch to him but seeing as he was willing to help and that I would put a bullet through his skull if he tried anything I didn't care.

"We don't get to many visitors around these parts. What brings you all the way out here."

"I'm looking for a man by the name of Yujinny, you know anything?"

"I might know something, but I need you to fix a little problem I have."

"You tell me what I need to know or I'll show you the business end of my rifle."

"You kill me and you won't find the man you're looking for. Now why don't you put down that gun and listen to what I have to say."

"Just tell me who I have to kill and where to find them."

"Hey thats the kind of thing I like to hear maybe you won't die like the last guy I sent."

"Now listen up the bandit problem here is really bad and thats all thanks to their leader Sledge."

"He's taken up residence in an abandoned mining plant just north of town."

"Any idea on his defenses?"

"How the hell should I know, I don't even leave my shop."

"Hmp...figures, your useless."

"Well, get to it or I might forget what I know he he."

Since I had no other option but to help him I packed up my gear and made my way to Sledges' Mine. The journey was a hard one, the days where filled with one attack after another and the nights full of hellish sounds from both animal and human. After three days of traveling through the desert I began to see smoke on the horizon, that only ment one thing...Sledge. I made camp and waited for dark, then I would make my attack.
