Chapter 1 - Now Departing
Maya's head felt like it had just been hit by a train, which ironically, it sort of just had. Her eyes flickered open. They were in a very cold and arctic like section of Pandora, the Southern Shelf. As she looked around, she saw the remnants of the train they were just on. "Holy shit..."
"You okay?" Axton asked as he tried to get up. He looked around, wondering where the hell they were and how they were alive.
"HELL YEAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! STILL ALIVEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! EAT THAT FAKE FACE!!!" Krieg yelled as he threw his arms up victoriously. "WOOOOOO!!!"
"What happened?" Maya asked them as she rubbed her head. Then she remembered. They had been betrayed and ambushed on the train. They opened a door to attack their would be employer, but it turned out to be a dummy with bombs attached to it. The bombs went off, the train derailed, and somehow they were alive here.
Zer0 stood up and helped Maya and Axton up, looking around. "We are somehow here/Alive, hurt, but still alive somehow/Quite curious."
"Oh hey! Look! There are more minions for me to command!" A very annoying robot said as he approached with Salvador. He was a rectangular shape that resembled a piece of cheese. He had a singular blue eye in the middle of his head and a single wheel for a leg. He was almost entirely yellow, with a single white stripe around his body. The robot had two small arms on either side of him, which looked like they couldn't even lift a rock, but somehow he was carrying a shovel.
Maya didn't recognize the robot at first, but she felt that she recognized it for some odd reason. Then she realized that it was a CL4P-TP General Purpose Robot, otherwise known as a Claptrap. She thought it was odd seeing this as they had all previously been destroyed.
"Annoying." Zer0 said as he looked at the CL4P-TP unit.
"Deathtrap no!" A girl's voice said as she ran to the remains of a very damaged robot. She was Caucasian, with reddish orange hair in pigtails, wrapped together with the remaining elastic bands of her grey googles, with yellow lenses. She bright green eyes and a bandage on her right cheek. She had a faded blue jacket, with a red t-shirt, which had skull on it, underneath, and on the back of her jacket was another skull.
She had a red glove on her right hand, while her left arm was an entirely gunmetal gray robotic arm. She had a short red skirt on, with black and white striped stockings on as well. Her belt had the symbol of the vault on it, along with a hammer and various other tools. She had blue high top sneakers with red laces on as well.
She stood over a very damaged robot. It was mostly white and red, with some black and gray here and there. Its head was the shape of a hexagon, with the only detail otherwise being a single blue eye in the middle of it. The robot had various marks of graffiti on it, such as a skull on its left bicep, tally marks on its shoulder to signify kills, and a heart with a lock on it over his chest. Unlike most robots, this one didn't have any legs. It appeared that it would hover when operational, although, that may not have always been the case, as there were dangling parts of robotic bits that resembled a robotic version of a human spine. "No!"
"Is she a Vault Hunter too?" Salvador asked as he looked at the teenager.
"I'm an inventor ya jackwad!" The girl yelled at him. She went back to examining the damaged robot.
"Hey! How about we all go back to my place?" The annoyingly voiced Claptrap asked.
"Well. I guess we don't exactly have anywhere better to go..." Maya said as she looked at all the rubble. There was a roar in the distance.
"That cannot be good/It sounds like an enemy/We're too hurt to fight." Zer0 said.
"Well Claptrap, let's get going." Axton said.
"Yay! Now all of you can help me get the heck outta here and join the resistance in Sanctuary!" Claptrap said as he led the way.
"The who?" Salvador asked as they started following.
"Don't worry. I'll explain later, and if I don't, then you'll find out using contexts clues!" Claptrap said.
