I said you wouldn't have to wait long for the main story. Here's the first main chapter of Secrets of the Sirens.
Borderlands and Winx Club go to their respective owners.
Chapter 1: The New Team
Pandora, 1 hour later
A Bandit Technical vehicle with an Explosive Barrel launcher on the back raced throught the unforgiving terrain of Pandora, chased by around a dozen Adult Bullymongs. Driving the vehicle was the 'Vault Hunter', with the now heavily pregnant Lilith in the passenger seat and Tiny Tina manning the Barrel launcher. Of the 3, Tina seemed the happiest.
"What the hell?! I thought we'd lost those things!" Lilith said.
"They must have found us again when we stopped to take out those Bloodshots." The Vault Hunter said.
"I TOLD you that was a bad idea! Lilith, you OK?!" Tina asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Good." Tina fired the Barrel launcher at the Bullymongs, instantly reducing every single one of them to nothing more than blood and guts.
"WOO-HOO! Take THAT!"
"Nice shot, Tina!" The Vault Hunter exclaimed, clearly proud.
"Thanks! I think we're..." Tina was cut off by a scream coming from Lilith.
"What the...? Oh. Uh, Tina?! We got a little problem!" The Vault Hunter said. Tina looked around, saw what was going on, then climbed down from the Barrel launcher and into a seat between Lilith and The Vault Hunter.
"Oh, crap. Lilith? Lilith, just try and breathe." Tina said, trying to reassure her 'big sister'.
"DON'T YOU THINK I'M TRY..." Lilith tried to say, only to scream as another wave of pain hit her. She looked for signs of wounds to her abdomen, or poisoning, but soon realised that she hadn't been attacked - she was in labour.
"Oh, God! This baby is coming today! You, hit the boost! Moxxi's place can't be too far from here!" Tina said to the Vault Hunter, who, without looking away from the road, gave her a quick thumbs-up, then activated the boost on the vehicle, causing its speed to nearly triple as it approached a large building. Realising that it must be the place, the Vault Hunter quickly deactivated the boost and slammed on the brakes, stopping just outside, where Moxxi was waiting.
"You guys OK?" Moxxi asked.
"No. Help me get Lilith inside." The Vault Hunter said, quickly leaving the car and gently helping Lilith out. Moxxi ran to the Vault Hunter and helped Lilith inside. Tina quickly followed them, only to be stopped at the door by 2 of Moxxi's Claptraps.
"Boys, let her in."
"But Moxxi, she's underage!" One of the Claptraps said. Moxxi sighed angrily.
"She's looking at the motel! In case you two idiots forgot, there's no way to get to the motel without going through the bar! Now let her in or I'll have you both recycled!" This earned a scream from both Claptraps, who moved aside. Moxxi, The Vault Hunter and Lilith went into a nearby room, as did Tina a few seconds later. When everyone was in the room, Moxxi and The Vault Hunter gently placed Lilith on a bed. Tina noticed a girl, taller than herself, with red hair. She wore a sparkling turquoise top, a matching skirt and boots. Another notable thing about her was that she had transparent, butterfly-like wings.
"Lilith, this is Bloom. She's a good friend of mine. She'll help you through this." Moxxi said.
"OK, thanks, Moxxi. I appreciate..." Lilith said, only to be overwhelmed by the pain again.
"Come on, Lilith. Push! You can do this!" Bloom said. Finally, Lilith gave one massive push and out came a small baby with jet black hair and yellow eyes, just like her mother. Moxxi quickly picked the baby up.
"Congratulations, Lilith. It's a girl. You have a daughter." Moxxi said, smiling.
"Can I hold her?"
"Sure. Here she is." Moxxi handed over the baby to Lilith.
"Oh, she's adorable! She has my eyes."
"What are you gonna call her?"
"Star."
"That's an amazing name." Bloom said. Suddenly, there was a huge explosion, followed by sounds of fighting and shooting.
"What the...?" The Vault Hunter said.
"Oh, no. Bloom, get everyone to Alfea now! If I'm not there in an hour, tell Sky I'm sorry. Lilith, I'll send someone to check on you in a few days." Moxxi said, before pulling out 2 Maliwan pistols with an Explosive effect.
"Alright. Bloom said. She clicked her fingers, which caused everyone except for Moxxi to disappear. Moxxi then walked into the main bar, still holding her pistols.
"Time to die, you bandit freaks." She said, before unloading on the mystery attackers. One by one, she reduced them to bullet-ridden corpses until there were only 4 left. One of them tried to shoot her in the back, but she somehow dodged it without even seeing where the bullet came from. She turned around and shot the would-be killer in the head, causing it to explode and his brains to go all over a nearby wall. Two of the remaining gunmen met the same fate. Moxxi quickly took the last one out of comission with a well-timed shot to his leg. As he bled out, she prepared to finish him off, only to suddenly gasp for air. She looked down and realised that she'd been stabbed from behind! She turned around to see Mordecai, who was holding a broken piece of glass.
"You... You did this?" Moxxi said, barely able to breathe as she fell to her knees.
"Yes, I did. Moxxi, I'm sorry, but the Crimson Lance are forcing me into this. If I don't kill you, they're gonna hunt me down like a pack of wild skags."
"Why?"
"They know about Lilith going to Magix."
"Mordecai... You don't have to do this."
"I do. I'm sorry. I wish it could end another way." Mordecai said, before raising the piece of glass.
Oh, man, this is it, isn't it? I'm gonna die. Please, someone, just stop this. Moxxi thought. However, as she did, she found that not only was her stab wound gone, but that she was now glowing a dark blue colour! Realising she could use this to her advantage, Moxxi punched Mordecai right between the eyes. The punch was more powerful than expected, however, as it sent Mordecai through a wall and knocked him unconscious. Moxxi looked at her glowing hand.
"Wow. That's new!" She said, clearly both shocked and surprised by what had just happened.
"What the hell?! I thought only Sirens could do that." A mystery voice said, standing in the doorway. She had short reddish-orange hair. She wore a blue sleeveless denim jacket, a red top underneath with a skull on it, a red skirt and blue and white shoes.
"Gaige? How did you...?"
"Easy. DT picked up a strange energy signature near here and I assumed you were in the middle of another war with those Lance goons."
"Well, you were right."
"What about Mordecai?"
"Leave that asshole to wake up. He's one of them."
"Alright. We getting outta here?"
"Best idea I've heard from anyone all day, but I wonder what Lysslis is gonna say when she finds out Lilith's with Bloom."
"Ah, I wouldn't worry about it. Lysslis may be crazier than the lovechild of Handsome Jack and a Psycho, but she's still forgiving." Gaige and Moxxi then disappeared.
An unknown location on Magix
Inside a dimly lit cave, three spirits appeared. However, one of them seemed to be asleep.
"Lysslis, did you feel that?"
"Yes, I did, Tharma. Belladonna, wake up!" Lysslis said.
"Uh. What?" Belladonna said, waking up with a start.
"We just sensed a large magical disturbance near Alfea." Tharma said, sounding quite annoyed that Belladonna was sleeping.
"Icy?"
"No, you idiot! One of the Sirens. I can't figure out exactly which one it is, though."
"It seems that one of our daughters has finally returned. I say we make our way there and personally introduce ourselves." Tharma said, and with that, she, Lysslis and Belladonna disappeared.
Alfea School for Fairies
Bloom, Tina, Lilith, Star and the Vault Hunter arrived inside the office of the Headmistress, Miss Faragonda. Their arrival startled Faragonda.
"Oh! Bloom, you scared me." Faragonda said.
"Sorry, Miss Faragonda. I needed to get somewhere safe." Bloom said.
"That is understandable, but who are they?" Faragonda asked, referring to the two Sirens, Lilith and Star, Tiny Tina and The Vault Hunter.
"Oh. This is Lilith, Star, Tina and..."
"A friend. That's all you need to know." The Vault Hunter said.
"O...K. Well, they need a place to stay for a while, and I was wondering if you had any spare rooms available here." Bloom said.
"I'm sure there are a few rooms available. Do you have any preferences as to the kind of room you'd like?"
"I don't mind. My species doesn't need much sleep." The Vault Hunter said.
"Tina and Star will be staying with me. Just a room with a crib for Star and a bed for Tina will be fine. I'll sleep on the floor if I have to." Lilith said.
"Lilith, we'll make sure to give you, Tina and Star the best possible accomodation we have. As long as you're here, you'll live like royalty."
"Thank you, and thank you, Bloom. You both have no idea how much I appreciate this." Lilih said, nearly crying.
"You're welcome. Wait outside and I'll have one of my students escort you to your rooms. I would like to speak with Bloom." Faragonda said, after which Lilith, Tina and the Vault Hunter left.
"So, what was it you wanted to talk about, Miss Faragonda?" Bloom asked.
"Bloom, when you arrived here, I sensed an incredibly powerful source of dark energy."
"With all due respect, Miss Faragonda, it's been over 5 years since we defeated Darkar, so it can't be coming from me."
"No. When I scanned the magical signatures of everyone here, that man wearing the strange helmet somehow blocked me from completing the scan, but I managed to scan Tina, Lilith and Star, and while Tina does have magic, she only possesses light magic, whuch would make her perfect for a permanent place at Alfea."
"So that means Lilith and Star..." Bloom started, but was interrupted.
"Yes. Lilith and Star are witches. I fear their powers are so dark, that staying here for too long may have the same effect on them as Shadowhaunt did Stella. Unfortunately, Cloud Tower is full, so I don't know what we can do."
"Well, if you're right about Lilith and Star, we need to do something soon, or, as much as we both hate to admit it, they could die."
"I know. For now, we must work out some sort of temporary arrangement." Faragonda said
'For both our sakes.' She thought. Bloom took the tone in which Faragonda spoke as a signal that now would be a good time to leave. When Bloom saw Lilith, Star, Tina and The Vault Hunter, Lilith was the first to speak.
"How'd it go?"
"Uh, yeah, it went pretty well. It was just something about a special mission for me and my friends." Bloom lied, not wishing to reveal the heartbreaking truth she'd just learned about Lilith and Star.
"You sure you're OK?"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Come on, I'll take you guys to your rooms." Bloom said, and with that, she walked off, the rest of the group following her a few seconds later.
A large room in Alfea, 7 hours later
Lilith was entertaining Star using her Siren abilities, while Tina and the Vault Hunter looked on.
"You're a natural, Lilith." The Vault Hunter said.
"Thanks. I don't even know how I'm doing this. I mean, I've never been able to use my powers like this before." Lilith said, a little surprised.
"Aw, look, she's asleep already." Tina whispered. Suddenly, Lilith began to feel very tired. She took one step towards the Vault Hunter and fell to her knees.
"Lilith, are you OK?"
"I don't know. I've never felt tired after using my powers before." Lilith said. The Vault Hunter pressed a button on the side of their helmet. After about 5 seconds, something appeared on the inside of it that both confused and worried the Vault Hunter.
"What the hell? That's not right." The Vault Hunter said.
"What?" Lilith said.
"Something strange is coming up on my scanners. It's almost... No. No, it can't be."
"What?!" Lilith said.
"Lilith, your powers have become a lot stronger, almost overnight! It reminds me of my mentor."
"Whoa, girl. Mentor? Who are you talkin' about?" Tina asked, slightly suspicious. The Vault Hunter sighed, before motioning for Tina to sit dow, which she did a few seconds later.
"I... I'm not from Pandora. To tell you the truth, I'm not even human. I'm a witch. My mentor was a woman called Lysslis." The Vault Hunter said, but as soon as she finished saying this, Tina suddenly felt a searing pain in her head and collapsed to the floor
Tina... Listen to me. You must bring Lilith and Star to Shadowhaunt.
"Tina? Tina, are you OK?" The Vault Hunter asked.
"Yeah. We... We gotta get Lilith and Star to some place called Shadowhaunt."
"Shadowhaunt? I know exactly where it is. Come on, grab Star. I'll help Lilith. Oh, and hold on to something." The Vault Hunter said, before whistling.
"Why would I need to..." Tina said, before a large hovercraft came in and - literally - picked everyone up before speeding out of Alfea, causing Tina to scream.
