Helios Station
It was a normal...well they're in space so you can't really say 'day' but It was a normal period of time in the Helios Space Station. The Board of Directors were having a discussion on what to do about the problem on Pandora now that Handsome Jack was dead.
Suddenly, the doors to conference room swung open, and to their surprise, and to their horror, the 'Madman of the Badlands' Sin walked in. An elderly gentleman spoke up as he sat down and propped his feet on the table.
"Explain to us why we should have security remove you, and toss you out the airlock"
Sin smiled, sat up, and said "How about a magic trick?" He stabbed a pencil into the table, eraser end pointing up.
"I'm gonna make this pencil, disappear." A security guard moved in, and Sin slammed him into the pencil, sending it into his eye socket.
"Look! It's gone!" The board began to get rather uncomfortable. They had heard of Sin, and the things he had done.
"Oh I brought a gift by the way!" Sin lifted up a box, with red wrapping paper and a big green bow. He opened it, and pulled out...a timed bomb. It was counting down and was currently at 6 minutes 13 seconds.
He put it on the table, and the men started to panic, and ran out of the room. Sin knew he'd be stormed by Hyperion Soldiers any second. But Time was on his side.
"Oh and to the readers, Just know that I somehow got from the canyon on Pandora to Helios through some epic adventure. Also, the writer is just too lazy to write how I did"
He unsheathed his katana, as they ran towards him. "Oh Boys. We got about, uh, six minutes until this station goes boom. Would you rather try to fight me and we all die, or try to escape?"
The guards thought it over, and backed up. Sin calmly walked to the escape ships, killing anyone he found along the way.
He launched the ship, as the clock counted down.
"10...9...8" Sin watched out the window of the ship as Helios exploded, sending debris to the surface of Elpis and Pandora, and thousands of people to their deaths.
"Best. Day. EVER!" He laughed manically, as he crashed to the surface of Pandora.
Sin came across the recently rebuilt town of Fyrestone. The Raiders did a good job he admitted, and smiled as he seen the bounty board.
A wanted poster of Him was on the wall reading

"Yay! Up three zeroes!"
He yanked it off the wall, and saw another ad.
"Mercenary wanted. Please contact this number for details"
Sin saw a number at the bottom. He dialed it into his ECHO Communicator and said
"Im calling about the job?" "Meet me in Skag Gully" a gruff voice said.
The Mercenary showed up in Skag Gully, and a man, in his mid-to late fifties emerged from the shadows.
"My name's Hugo Vasquez. I have a job for you."
"See, I used to be an exec at Hyperion. Before some stooge sold me out for embezzlement." He said.
"Now that Helios is gone through some terrorist attack" Sin began to chuckle nervously at the mention of it.
"I need something that will put in me in good graces with Hyperion. So I need you to find the Vault Key."
Sin's smile dropped. "I'm not a vault hunter. Im a mercenary. A Hired Killer. I don't go hunting for no stupid fucking vault key. Nothing but tentacles and disappointment there."
Hugo said "I don't believe you understand me" He pulled a gun on the madman, pointing it in his face. "You WILL find it. Or I splatter your brains all over the gully" Sin laughed, put his chin on the gun and said "Pull the trigger. I dare ya."
Hugo gulped. This guy was nuts. Sin suddenly took the gun from him, and threw it. He shoved him, katana to his throat, wearing a psychotic smile as he pinned Hugo to the wall. "So here's how this is gonna go. You're gonna give all your money. All of it. And your clothes too. I dont need them. I just want them. and Then you're gonna walk into the gully, and so help me god, if you leave before I say you can, I'll chop you into little bits and feed you to some Rakks. Understood?"
Hugo nodded.
Sin walked into a bar in Opportunity, which since he took it over and destroyed Helios, was a bandit town/ Crimson Raiders HQ.
He saw his target, a guy named Frank walk in front of him. He sat across from Frank, and smiled at him menacingly.
"Hiya Frank"
"Sin Buddy, Look I'll have it next week I swear"
"I want my money now. I killed some of your gang's higher ups for you, now I get what's mine"
Frank held out his hand, filled with cash "I only have $4000"
"I want $6000" Frank gulped. Sin was normally jovial, and goofy. but right now, he had a much more threatening atmosphere about him.
"I'll have it. Just please, I need more time" Sin smiled, and said "I'll take the $4000. and Hell, i'll drop it to $5000. But I want something."
"What?" "Just. Do it." Sin said, and Frank, hesitantly, did as he asked.
Sin, with one swift motion, chopped off his fingers. "These will sell well. Cannibals eat these up. Real...Finger foods" He said, grabbing the severed body parts, and added "Have the rest in 3 days, or i'll take more than your fingers. Soak your fingers in this booze. Help reduce infection." Frank grabbed his bleeding hand in pain. "See ya around Frankie boy"
He bumped into some guy, and the idiot shoved him down, and said "Watch it."
Sin, in a drunken rage, quickly slashed the guys throat, and pulled his tongue out the gash.
"You should watch your tongue, asshole" Sin said, shoving the now dead man over. Noone even noticed. and If they did, they didn't care. This was Pandora after all.
