I forgot to put this Author's Note at the beginning of the first chapter, so here it is. This is my first ever fanfic. I will be trying to post at least once a week but don't get your hopes up, school is tough this year. I really hope you guys liked the first chapter but if you didn't why would you still be reading. Anyway here is Chapter 2.
PS: Chapter 1 is called The Splicer
Thanks to RinTheWin. I know what you mean; there are too many Siren OCs. I'll keep your thoughts on the outfit in mind but green is Gen's fave colour and I felt like I should emphasize that. I'm glad I nailed the characters' personalities but be warned that they may become a bit OOC later on. I'm thinking of maybe updating Gen's look anyway. Any ideas?
GJ115: Good to know I can generate a bit of interest. I will continue.
Disclaimer: If I owned Borderlands, Bloodwing wouldn't have died and there would be a rocket-firing gatling gun.
Chapter 2: The Duelist
The Hunters, minus Salvador, and Hammerlock stood just outside of Hammerlock's shack. Maya and Lilith were discussing something and Brick and Mordecai were making bets when Zer0 walked up and said, "Knows what he's doing; The Splicer knows he will win; I will bet on Gen." Axton and Gaige were examining Gen, Axton trying to figure out how he could be so confident and Gaige trying to figure out who he reminded her of, when Gaige suddenly realized something.
"Holy shit! He doesn't even have a shield!" she yelled. Everybody seemed shocked but Zer0, but it was near impossible to tell what his reactions were to anything. Mordecai quickly changed his bet to Salvador. Salvador heard Gaige and grinned.
"This is gonna be the easiest fight ever." He thought smugly. Gen seemed to be fiddling with two black bandoliers that he had slung crossways over his chest to form an "X" shape. They had a round buckle that hung over his chest with another red and blue double helix. Salvador couldn't see what was in the bandoliers but he didn't feel worried. He planned to blast the kid before he could even raise a gun.
Gen took out something from his bandolier and studied it for a moment before putting it back and grabbing another one. He repeated this procedure for a few minutes before apparently finding what he was looking for and keeping it in his hands. He looked up at Hammerlock and gave him a thumb up with his free hand.
Hammerlock cleared his throat and stated, "On the count of three, the fight will begin. One...Two...THREE!"
Instantly Salvador raised two machine guns and opened fire, but Gen was nowhere in sight. A fine trail of fine snow hung in the air, beginning where Gen had been standing and ending behind an ice boulder to the left of Salvador. Suddenly, Salvador jerked to the side, his shield shattering and a cut appearing on his side, and another trail of snow led to an ice boulder on Salvador's right. Gaige looked there and spotted Gen standing behind it, still smiling. He grabbed something from his belt and climbed to the top of the boulder.
"Hey Shorty! Catch!" he yelled lobbing whatever was in his hand at Salvador. The midget simply turned and blasted it, causing it to explode. "You'll have to do better than that, niño." He called mockingly. He looked down as something hit his boot.
"I just did." Gen replied casually. Salvador's eyes widened as he realized that the object at his feet was a grenade. Just as he started jumping it detonated with a flash of light and a strange hissing noise. When the light faded there was a large, rather surprised looking, yellow iguana with blue spines sitting where Salvador had been before the grenade detonated. Gen laughed so hard he fell off the boulder he was standing on and lay, stunned, on the ground for a few seconds before bursting into laughter again.
Zer0 calmly approached Brick and Mordecai, who were slack-jawed at the sight of the iguana, and took the money out of Mordecai's hand. Gen, now recovered from his laughing fit, beckoned to Gaige and started walking towards the iguana, which hissed angrily at him.
