Around an hour later Zer0 woke up to see a box like robot digging holes in a snow bank. The robot said sadly,"Great - another dead Vault Hunter. Handsome Jack's been busy. Wait a minute - You're not dead! YES! Now I can get off this glacier! Claptrap, your metaphorical ship has finally come in!" Zer0 thought to himself,"Wow first I almost get killed, and then I get stuck in the middle of the damn arctic circle with an annoying ass robot." Zer0 got up from the rubble and walked toward the robot named, Claptrap. He asked the robot, "Where am I?". Claptrap said,"Your in the southern shelf friend! Or as I like to call it, HOME!". Claptrap then turned around and started walking towards his ice cave. As Zer0 and Claptrap approached the cave claptrap said,"Well done! Your ability to walk short distances without dying will be Handsome Jack's Downfall!". Zer0 said nothing. Claptrap then turned back around and unlocked the door. As he unlocked the door with a Hyperion scanner, he said,"Just a little added security. Gotta keep those Bullymongs at bay, or they'll rip your eyes out!". Zer0 and claptrap went inside the cave and clap trap showed him around. Claptrap said,"Sorry about the mess. Everything Jack kills, he dumps here - bandits, Vault Hunters, Claptrap units... If I sound pleased about this, it's only because my programmers made this my default tone of voice! I'm actually quite depressed!". Zer0 laughed but then stopped as he could tell Claptrap was getting mad. Claptrap then rolled up an inclined hill and stood on a platform. He then looked up at the ceiling because he heard a rustle. He then screamed as a Bullymong named Nuckledragger picked him up and ripped his one eye out. Nuckledragger then roared and rebounded out. Claptrap hit the floor violently and then got up. Claptrap, confused, screamed," I HAVE YOUR THINGS IN THE CABINET. I HAVE A GUN AND A CRAPPY SWORD I FOUND IN THERE.". Zer0 snarled and kicked a barrel in front of claptrap. he fell over and asked Zer0 if he did it. Zer0 laughed and said," No...". Zer0 headed over to the cabinet and picked up his things.
As he re-equipped himself he noticed his Echo system was gone. He asked Claptrap if he had seen it. Claptrap said," I do have a fresh one on my table but you'll have to relearn all your skills again." Zer0 sarcastically thought that this would be a fresh start for him and that maybe he could turn into a friendly person. After thinking that he immediately started to laugh at the thought. Claptrap said,"Apart from the excruciating pain, this is great! I've been waiting for a mighty Vault Hunter to help me reach Sanctuary. I will be your wise leader, and you shall be my fearsome minion!". Zer0 ignored what he said about being a minion but asked," What is this place called, Sanctuary?". Claptrap said,"It is were my original minion and the leader of the crimson raiders, Roland lives! He sent me out here to find a fearsome Vault hunter like you to help him!.". Zer0 knew who Roland was. Zer0 and Roland had bad blood after Zer0 killed his closest friend and partner, Captain Heckler. Zer0 killed Heckler for $100,000. Zer0 got the assignment from a bandit by the name of Slodge. Slodge was the son of the famous bandit, Sledge. After Roland killed Slodge's Dad, Sledge, he wanted to remind Roland forever that once you take a friend away, you are ruined for life. What Slodge ordered Zer0 to do was to carve a marking on the chest of Hecklers body saying," Remember this, remember ME." After Zer0 did that, eventually Roland captured one of Slodge's henchmen. The henchmen told Roland what happened to Heckler and Who did it. Since then Roland has always wanted revenge on Zer0 and Slodge. Zer0 quickly set that thought aside and headed out into the frozen wastes of the southern shelf with the robot Claptrap.
Claptrap said,"Great! Just let me get this door open and we'll hunt ourselves a Bullymong" Zer0 nodded but then realized that claptrap couldn't see him. As he walked out of the cave into the snow, he saw a group of bullymongs. He sprinted after them and quickly executed each one. Claptrap didn't even hear them die because of the shear speed of Zer0. Zer0 and Claptrap moved up a ramp and saw a large courtyard. Claptrap then yelled,"Oh! My eye just switched back on! I see a tough-looking minion, and an incredibly handsome robot. Which means that whoever has my eye... is very close" Zero Pulled out the terrible pistol that Claptrap gave him and threw it at a near bullymong killing it instantly. Zer0 pulled out his katana and powered it up. A line of blue data from the Digistruct network streamed up and along it. The data was so powerful it turned into a glowing, hot, plasma that could cut through almost everything. As Zer0 stood battle ready, a giant roar ripped through the air. A car then fell from the sky falling just feet away from Zer0. He did not flinch at all but Claptrap ran away in fear. Nuckledragger jumped down from his perch and picked up a piece of the ground. He threw it at Zer0 knocking him a few feet back. Zer0 quickly got up and dashed at Nuckledragger. He jumped over his back while swinging his sword down at Knuckledragger. Zer0 landed behind the wounded bullymong. Zer0 then ran up Knuckledragger's back and lodged his sword into Knuckledragger's eye socket. As knuckledragger fell onto the cold ground of the glacier, Zer0 simultaneously pulled out his katana from Knuckledragger's bleeding wound. Claptrap rose from were he was hiding and picked up his eye from Knuckledragger's mouth.
