(Opening Theme: Hamatora the Animation Opening 1)
Plutia's stomach suddenly made a growling sound. She laughed out of embarrassment. Sasha laughed and said, "I guess we should eat something, who knows when we'll eat again." She went over to the pan and started to cook up an egg sandwich. Fiona looked within the crate and saw that there was a total of three boxes. One was labeled, "F", the second was labeled "P" and the third was labeled "S".
Fiona took out the box that was labeled "F". She opened and saw what was inside. "What is that?" Plutia asked her.
Fiona replied as she examined what was inside, "It looks like some sort of an upgrade, but it still only hold one shot." She had looked further within box and found a second bullet, "Sweet! Now I have two bullets!" She said. She took out the box that was labeled "P". "Here Plutie." Fiona said handing her the box, "He left you something as well."
Plutia took the box from Fiona and opened. "A bracelet?" Plutia said taking out of the box, "Made from crystal?"
"It looks beautiful." Fiona said.
Plutia nodded her head, and placed it on her left wrist. She couldn't help but admire it so. Plutia picked up the box that was labeled "S" She was about to open it but Fiona stopped her; She shook her head and took the box from Plutia's hands. "Sasha." She said, getting her attention, "This one's for you."
Sasha took only one glance at the box, before going back to cooking, "I don't want it."
"Are you sure big sis?" Plutia asked her, "You're not curious?"
"Yeah, at least not a little bit?" Fiona asked her.
"I'm sure I don't want it." Sasha told them not making eye contact.
"Oh, alright." Fiona said before putting it away, "I'll just, hold on to it for you. In case you change your mind."
"I won't." Sasha had said to them.
They soon heard the door creak open, causing them to turn around. Plutia couldn't but let out a gasp, as did Fiona and Sasha.
"So stubborn. You're really gonna turn down a man's going away gift?"
KROGER
MOUSTACHE; A HIRED GUN
Another man came up from behind him.
"Cold-blooded." He said stretching his arm.
FINCH
DON'T TALK ABOUT HIS HAIR; ALSO A HIRED GUN
Both of them were armed with guns; Plutia couldn't help but cling onto Fiona and as she started to back up..
"Right, you should be ashamed of yourselves." Kroger said to them, "All of you, hands up. Now."
Fiona and Sasha put their hands up, but Plutia still held onto Fiona as if her life depended on it. Kroger pointed the gun towards Plutia, "You two little lady, and don't even think about trying any of your voodoo on us."
Plutia gulped and hesitantly put her hands up
"Whatcha makin?" Kroger asked Sasha.
Sasha replied sternly, "Sandwich."
"Mm? Why you gotta pan for a sandwich?"
"I like an egg on it."
"Alright, that's valid."
"I like when the yolk is runny." Finch said.
Fiona smirked and said to Finch, "Nice hair."
Finch glared over at Fiona, "What's that supposed to mean?" He said angrily.
"It means what it means." Fiona stated, "Your hair is just nice."
Finch pulled the gun right up to Fiona's face; Plutia couldn't help but shrink with fear, "I will shoot you in the face right NOW if your talking shit!"
"Whoa, Finch, calm down man." Kroger said before saying to Fiona, "Don't talk about his hair alright?"
All Fiona did was shrug with an innocent look on her face. Finch put his gun back in his holster. "Alright he's good." Sasha that the gun was near where she was standing. Fiona turned to her and nodded slightly to her. Sasha slowly and cautiously made her way to the gun.
"Ah." Kroger said.
Sasha stopped and made a sneer at her; she slowly moved again.
"Ah, ah." Kroger said pointing the gun to her. Sasha ignored him, and just moved slowly to the gun. This time Kroger shot at her feet, missing on purpose.
"You heard me going ah." Kroger said, "You see me looking at you."
"Make him shoot that nice floor and for what?" Finch said.
"For nothing." Kroger said.
While they have there attention to Sasha, Fiona and Plutia both slowly started to move to the exit. When Fiona saw Kroger turn to her, she and Plutia stopped.
Kroger said, "Seriously, you guys got every bounty hunter on Pandora looking for you… And you're making a sandwich?"
The three of them had said nothing to that.
Kroger then said to Finch, "Tie them up. Let's get outta here."
Finch went over to grab Plutia; but before he could, Fiona armed herself with the pistol she had hidden in her sleeve.
"Ooh, she's fast." Kroger said.
Finch looked over the small gun. "Please. You're just embarrassing yourself." He said; he held out his arms, "Go on."
"FIONA! SHOOT HIM!" Sasha yelled over to her.
Kroger said, "Seriously? You're telling her to shoot at a dude who has people shoot him in the chest for fun."
"I'm usually drunk." Finch told him, "And I charge forty bucks, but you can have this one for free, go ahead, I won't even clench."
Fiona fired her bullet and it hit him in the chest, putting him into a shock (Literally). When she did, the cartridge that was blue had vanished. Finch backed up, shaking from the shock.
"You alright man?" Kroger asked.
Finch replied still feeling the shock, "Oh yeah… Re-real good."
Kroger said to him, "Look you don't have to be a tough guy about it. It's cool."
Due to the fact that he was shocked from the bullet, he had second-degree burns from it; he fell to his knees. Fiona used the opportunity to kick; he fell on his side with a grunt.
"HEY MAN!" Kroger exclaimed, "HEY!"
Sasha grabbed the pan that was beside her and slammed right into his face; the egg sandwich fell on the floor.
"RUN!" Fiona shouted. The three sisters ran out of the safehouse; Sasha grabbed the gun before she ran out. Kroger fired his gun blindly as they ran outside. He stumbled out; leaning against the doorframe.
"OH I'M COUNTING THESE BULLETS!" Kroger shouted to them, "AND THEY'RE COMING OUT OF YOUR-"
Suddenly Kroger was hit in the back of the head, with what appeared to be a shield. It flew towards them.
"LOOK OUT!" Fiona yelled, pushing Sasha and Plutia against the wall.
The person who threw the shield jumped from the building, and caught the shield that flew back to her. She had her hood up, and her eyes glowed red.
ATHENA
BAD ASS (SIN); HATES ATLAS
"They're mine Kroger!" Athena said to Kroger, "Take a walk!"
Kroger sat himself up trying to shake the pain, "I thought you retired!"
"You heard wrong." She said to him.
The three sisters sprinted away with Athena right on their tail. They ran through an alleyway and ducked behind the crates. Athena came running around the corner.
"HOW DO YOU LIKE THIS!?" Sasha shouted; She started to fire at her. Athena armed her shield and blocked all the bullets that came her way.
"DAMN IT! SHE'S BLOCKING ALL MY SHOTS!" She shouted to them.
"JUST KEEP IT UP SASHA!" Fiona yelled, "KEEP SHOOTING HER!"
Athena took her chance, she threw her shield at them. "WATCH OUT!" Plutia shouted, but the shield ended up hitting the crates, causing them to fly back and land on the ground hard. They quickly got up on their feet and ran as fast as they could. As they ran Sasha fired at Athena, "HURRY THIS WAY!" Sasha shouted.
Sasha ran to the left, but instead of following Sasha both Fiona and Plutia ran straight for the purple skag.
"Hey!" Sasha said, "Where are you guys going!?"
"We'll catch up with you don't worry!" Fiona reassured her.
"We'll see you on the other side!" Plutia said to her.
Sasha nodded and ran in her own direction, while Fiona and Plutia ran into the Purple Skag.
Tector had noticed that they entered and grabbed a hold of Fiona. "BIG SISTER!" Plutia cried out.
"TECTOR! LET GO OF ME!" Fiona shouted as she struggled to get out of his grip. She grabbed a hold of a nearby bottle and hit Tector on the head, letting it break on impact. Tector let go of her and groaned grasping his head.
"GO PLUTIA RUN!" Fiona shouted to her younger sister. Plutia nodded her head and she ran up the stairs, Fiona followed her. Athena ran into the Purple Skag and tackled Tector to the ground. She ran up the stairs after them, and Fiona got the window open. She let Plutia go out the window first, letting her drop down to the roof below; Fiona was about to follow her but was tackled by Athena. Several crates fell right on top of the Vault Hunter, and she was unable to move.
Plutia went to help Fiona up and they started to run again. They had gotten to a balcony and down below they saw Sasha running from Bandits.
"HEY GUYS!" She yelled firing at the Bandits; the bullets hit them all, "WHATCHA YOU DOING UP THERE!?"
A van came around the corner.
"BIG SIS! LOOKOUT!" Plutia shouted to Sasha.
The van stopped turning to it's side and Sasha stopped in her tracks. Fiona picked up Plutia and jumped down on the van. Still holding onto Plutia she continued to run. "What do we do now!?" Plutia said to Sasha looking at scared.
"Don't worry Plutie, we'll find a way!" Sasha said to her.
Just than a bandit came riding in on a motorcycle. "WE'RE GONNA MAKE YOU INTO SOME TASTY PUDDING!" He shouted.
Plutia couldn't help but bury her head in Fiona's shoulder. The Bandit held up his buzz axe and shouted, "SMASH FINGER SANDWICHES!"
Fiona moved out of the way as the Bandit drover towards her. Fiona noticed a ladder above them. "Start climbing!" Fiona said lifting Plutia up to grab the ladder. Fiona climbed after her, as the bandit drove at her again swinging his buzz axe.
Fiona caught up with Plutia; than they saw Athena in the distance. "Uh-oh…" Plutia couldn't help but say.
They soon saw Sasha had gotten the bike from the Bandit and was now driving it. "HEY GUYS! LET'S GO!" Sasha shouted to them.
Plutia ran and jumped first, down to the bike; Sasha caught her and placed her at the front of the bike. Fiona was the next to jump, just as Athena threw her shield and missed her by a few inches. Fiona landed on the back of the bike.
(RHYS)
Oh yeah, like that ever happened.
(SHADOW & PLUTIA)
Rhys!
(RHYS)
What?
(PLUTIA)
Don't interrupt!
(SHADOW)
Yeah, don't be rude.
(RHYS)
Oh come on!
(FIONA)
It's Plutia and my story, so shut up.
They drove done the road nearly hitting people on the way as they drove. Plutia turned around, "She's not still back there is she?"
Fiona turned around, "I can't see her anymore."
"Are you sure?" Sasha asked, still having eyes on the road, "Maybe she's on the rooftops."
Fiona turned around, "She must be-WATCH OUT!"
Athena just dropped right in front of their path and Sasha lost control on the bike. The three of them fell off the bike, and they hit the ground.
Athena approached them; her eyes had still glowed red. "This ends now." She said.
The three of them got up off the ground not really knowing what to do. Plutia looked and saw Felix's homemade grenade on Fiona's belt. It gave her an idea. She grabbed the grenade surprising both Fiona and Sasha. "Plutia what are you-?!" Fiona said.
Plutia armed the grenade and threw the grenade towards Athena with all her strength. Athena shielded herself as the grenade went off. The three sisters started running again. "Nice thinking there Plutie!" Sasha said to her.
"Thanks!" Plutia said with a smile. They ran down the alley way, and Athena ran in the opposite direction, so that she would cut them off. Eventually they found themselves back at Scooters shop. They peered through the garage window and saw the caravan with a new coat of paint, looking brand new.
"Is… Is that our caravan?" Sasha said in disbelief.
"The guy works fast." Fiona said.
Plutia was trying to get a peek since she was too short to reach the window. "Hey! I can't see!" She couldn't help but whine.
They soon heard Athena yell from afar, "GET AWAY FROM THERE!"
"Oh shit." Sasha said, "Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit."
"Come on!" Fiona said to Sasha and Plutia, "Help me get this door open!"
"NO! STOP!" Athena shouted.
They started to open the door, but it ended up opening by itself.
Athena continued to shout, "NO! DON'T OPEN THAT!"
She threw her shield towards them. "DUCK!" Plutia shouted. The three of them ducked and the shield landed right in a nearby dumpster. They rolled right into the shop; but they ended up hitting at someone's feet.
"Can I ask what you're doing?" A familiar voice said. It had turned out not only was Scooter in there but Mion and Shadow were standing the shop as well; a third person was there as well. A woman who was a junk dealer, who was also Scooters new proprietor.
"Seriously." Shadow said, "What the hell are you doing?"
"Yeah, what's the rush?" The Junk Dealer asked with an australian accent (AN: IDK if it's that accent, but let's just go with it.)
"Ya been snortin' on redrocks?" Scooter asked as well, "Why the heck're ya'll runnin' 'round on all the dirt for?"
"No time to chat!" Fiona said.
"Why what's going on?" Mion asked her.
"There's a bounty on us." Sasha explained.
"A bounty?" Shadow asked.
"Woah, wait a bounty?" Scooter said in disbelief.
"Quick, where are the keys?!" Fiona asked Scooter with panic in her face.
Shadow went over to her, "Woah, hey calm down." He said.
They saw familiar shoes just at the garage door. "Hurry!" Sasha exclaimed. "Alright, alright, don't have a heart attack." Scooter said, looking for the keys.
Plutia went behind Fiona as she said, "She's right there!"
"Who?" Mion asked. Shadow, Mion, the Junk Dealer and Scooter turned around to see who they were talking about. The garage door of course revealed to be Athena; her hood was now off and her eyes were now of her natural color which was of light purple.
"Athena?" Shadow and Mion both said in unison.
"Well, hey hon." The Junk Dealer said to her with a smile.
"Wow." Athena said, "That is one slow door."
The Junk Dealer walked over to her, giving her a kiss on the cheek.
JANEY SPRINGS
SMALL BUSINESS OWNER/CHILDREN'S BOOK AUTHOR/ KRAGGON SLAYER
"Shades, Mion, Scooter. This is my girlfriend, Athena." Janey said to them.
"Yeah, we've met before." Mion said.
Scooter said, "Oh I know Athena. Ha. What's up girl? Ya'll kiss a lot?"
Athena noticed the two teens standing there. "Mion?" Athena said questioningly before turning to Shadow; her eyes widened with disbelief, "Shadow?"
Shadow gave a smile awkwardly and said, "Hi Athena. It's been a long time since I've last seen you."
"Wait I thought you were-"
Athena was cut off when Plutia asked, "Wait, you know each other?" Of course, her question was directed at Janey, Shadow and Mion.
"Well yeah little lady." Janey said with a smile, "As I said, she's my girlfriend."
Mion had added, seeing as how Shadow couldn't answer, "And she helped us out on jobs when we worked with the Black Wind, before she retired."
Fiona cleared her throat; and not wanting to cause a scene, she said, "It's nice to meet you. I'm Fiona, and these are my sisters, Sasha and Plutia."
"Hi." Plutia said hesitantly.
"Hello." Sasha said awkwardly.
Fiona extended her hand over to her; Athena took her hand and they shook her hand. "It's very nice to meet you." Athena said with a friendly smile, "It's too bad you, your sisters and friends won't be sticking around much longer… Looks like your in a hurry to leave."
"Yeah…" Fiona said, "We've got some… Bad people on our tail."
"Uh…" Mion said, "Does anyone else feel an awkwardness right now?"
"I kind of sense that right now too." Shadow added.
They let go of each other's hands and backed up from each other. Athena noticed the caravan, "Whoa, this is some nice work on this caravan." Athena commented.
"Oh you know I just did my best, in the time given." Scooter said.
"Oh, now don't be modest." Janey said, "Look at this work!"
"I know right!" Mion said, "This is just so amazing!"
Shadow said to Scooter, "Your work is still amazing as ever."
"Aw, shucks, thanks so much man!" Scooter said, "It means a lot to hear you say that!"
Janey turned to the group of five. "You guys are pretty lucky." Janey said with a smile, "I mean your caravan is in such care of…" Janey soon saw the look that Athena and Fiona were giving each other a certain look; Shadow and Mion both noticed this too.
"Wait a minute." Janey said, "Are you saying Athena was the one that was chasing you three?"
Shadow looked at Athena with a quizzical expression, "Really is that true?" He asked her.
"What? No." Athena said to him and Janey, "This is just a misunderstanding."
"How do you guys know it wasn't her?" Sasha asked them.
"Well, Janey said so herself." Mion said, "Athena's retired from that line of work."
Janey had added, "Yeah, Athena made a promise to me that she was done with all of that, so there's no way that she's doing what you say she's doing."
Athena said, "That's right, our relationship is more important to me than some stupid job."
"That's exactly what I'm saying." Janey said.
"But she chased us here!" Sasha said to them.
Janey gave her an angry look, "Athena." She said.
Athena immediately said, "Oh, that. Ha, no. I was actually just hurrying here to meet you. They must've thought I was chasing them because we were coming to the same place."
Shadow looked to Janey and gave her a shrug while saying, "Sounds reasonable."
"Yes! Exactly!" The Assassin said to her girlfriend, "As I was running here I thought, huh, they're taking every turn I'm taking."
"Woah!" Mion said, "That's a coincidence!"
Sasha said with sarcasm, "Yeah… What a coincidence."
"I was just gonna say that." Athena said to her.
Both Sasha and Plutia let out fake laughter; obviously not really believing what they were hearing right now.
Scooter didn't know what came over him, but he started to laugh along with them. "What're we laughing at?" Scooter asked, "Cause it's weird. We're laughing cause it's weird right?"
Shadow put his hands together, "Well, it's been fun catching up." He said, "But we really should get going."
"Yeah." Sasha said, "We really should."
The five of them proceeded into the caravan; Sasha started up the car and they drove out of the garage.
"Stay safe out there." Athena said, "Pandora feels a lot smaller when you've got people looking for you."
Shadow told her, "Same to you."
Thus they drove off leaving the shield behind. They exited Hollow Point and once more drove through the desert abyss. Fiona had asked the two teens, "So where your other two partners in crime? They're not dead are they?"
Mion shook her head and replied, "Well, no. We got in a little trouble with an old flame but in the end we decided to split up."
"So in other words they're at Old Haven?" Sasha asked.
"Yeah, they'll be sure to meet us there." Mion said, "And I'm sure they'll find out where they're keeping this Gortys Project."
"Alright, if you say so." Fiona said, still unsure if she should trust them.
Shadow removed what appeared to be a doll from his belt; He handed it to Plutia. "Here." He said with a smile, "I think this belongs to you."
Plutia let out a bright smile and couldn't help but squeal; She took the doll from him and hugged it tightly, "My doll! My mother's doll!" She said with glee, "I can't believe you found it!"
She than hugged Shadow, catching him by surprise, "Thank you so much!"
Fiona was stunned, while Mion on the other hand chuckled. She said to Fiona, "What can I say, he has a way with kids."
Plutia pushed herself out of the hug and said, "Oh! I have something for you too!"
"Huh?" Shadow couldn't help but say.
Plutia wobbled over to the back and got out his sword. He was taken back by it, "My sword! You had it all this time?"
Plutia said with a smile as she handed his sword back to him, "You can thank Iris for that. She caught it before it could fly out."
Shadow felt the blade of it and said, "I-Thank you. You don't know how much this means to me."
Plutia laughed and said, "I could say the same for you."
Thus they made their way to Old Haven, where Rhys and Vaughn were; hopefully they had found where the Gortys Project was.
