Borderland The Pre Sequel Tempest Shadow DLCby Norwegian boyChaptersPrologueJackColonel ZarpedonPrologueAfter defeating Handsome Jack, the Crimson Raiders on the floating town of Sanctuary wanted to learn what really happened to the Jack, before he become a crazy murderous psychopath. Mordecai and Brick kidnap another Vault Hunter by the name of Athena to get some answer. Mac, Maya and Gaige was currently walking towards where the entrance to Sanctuary should be, which it wasn’t anymore considering that Sanctuary was now a floating town. “I can’t wait to meet the Vault Hunter that Brick and Mordecai brought in, I heard that she put up one hell of fight.” Said Gaige the Mechromancer. “You sound exciting to meet this Vault Hunter.” Said Maya the Siren. “She’s been too the moon for fuck sake, of course I want to meet here.” Mac was about say something when he saw Brick and Mordecai walking towards them, Brick was leaning on Mordecai’s shoulder. It looked like they had taken a beating. “What happened to you two?” He asked them. “We got beaten up by two girls.” Mordecai told them as they stop. That made Gaige laugh. “Oh man, I knew that you two got beaten up by one girl, but two? That’s hilarious.” She then started to laugh even more. Even Mac and Maya couldn’t help but contain their laughter, they didn’t laugh as much as Gaige, but you could hear them. “It’s not funny.” Said Brick in a humiliated tone. Gaige didn’t listen to them she was now laughing so hard that she had fallen on her back, she was rolling around her back. Mordecai and Brick started to walk again. “Come on Brick, let’s het to Zed and get patch up.” They really didn’t want to go the Zed, but considering he was the only doctor in Sanctuary, they didn’t have a much of a choice. They also wanted to get away from Gaige. When they were gone, Gaige had finally managed to calm down. She, Maya and Mac continued towards where Lilith had the Vault Hunter knows as Athena held capture. Once they got there, they saw a woman with a hood tied up to a pol with four Crimson Raiders pointing guns at her. When Athena saw Mac, she couldn’t help but smile at him. Mac wonder why. Then Lilith said something. “Now, I will ask you this only once… why?” Then Athena stared to tell her story. “That is a long story.” They started to listen to her. “After the fall of General Knoxx, I wandered Pandora as a hired gun. One day, I received a job offer from a low level Hyperion programmer. ‘Come to the moon,’ it said. ‘Hunt a Vault be a hero.’ I didn’t trust Hyperion, but I was too hungry to pass up a paying job.” “And what did you find?” Lilith asked her. “Violence. Insanity. And… A hero.” Gaige leaned towards Mac and Maya. “Is she talking about the same Handsome Jack that tried to kill us several times?” She asked the pony and Siren, they both nodded. “Ok, that’s weird.” They agreed on what the Mechromancer said. “What about the others that help you? Who was the other Vault Hunters?” Asked Lilith. “It was me, Wilhelm, Nisha, your friend Claptrap and a pony named Tempest Shadow.” Everyone was speechless when they heard the last Vault Hunter, especially Mac. He thought that he was the only pony on Pandora, not anymore. “Another pony? I’m not the only one?” He said in a whispering tone. He then started to walk towards Athena with anger in his eyes. “Tell me what you know.” He said in a threating tone. He didn’t get very far Lilith block his way. “Easy there Mac, let’s hear her story first.” “Hear her story? I just found out that’s another pony on Pandora before me and you are telling me that I have to listen to her story? I am not going to do that I am going to beat it out of her.” Athena couldn’t help but smile. “Then you should beat up Lilith too, she was there. She also help Handsome Jack.” That made Lilith freeze, she didn’t expect Athena to say that. Mac looked at his friend. “Tell me she is lying, tell me that you didn’t help Jack.” Lilith didn’t say anything. “TELL ME.” He shouted at her. “Yes, it’s true I help Jack and you aren’t the first pony I have seen on Pandora. Tempest was the first one.” Mac wasn’t sure how to feel right now, he had been lied to and if there’s one thing he hate more than anything, that was been lied to. “I knew you gave me weird look when we first meet, it was like you weren’t surprised to see me at all.” Lilith looked down on the ground. “And the reason is that I was not the first pony you had seen.” “Yes, it’s all true.” “Then why did you lie to me?” Lilith tried to say something, but no words came out. “WHY DID YOU LIE TO ME.” He shouted at her. “BECAUSE SHE IS DEAD.” She shouted back at him. That shock Mac. “Because she is dead, Jack killed her.” Mac was in utter shock he didn’t want to hear those words. Then they heard laughter from Athena, they looked at her. “Is that you heard? Jack didn’t kill Tempest she is still alive.” That just confused everyone. “But Jack told me that he killed her.” Said Lilith not understanding what was going on. “And you believe him? This is what really happened.” Then Athena started to tell her story. Athena had just entered the rocket that was going to take her to Helios, she could see a CL4P-TP united, a woman with a hat that looked like a sheriff, an elderly man who had a metallic eye. What surprised her the most was the fourth Vault Hunter, a female anthropomorphics pony with purple fur, blood red hair and tail? She had scar on her right her eye and her horn was missing. She was wearing black pants, a purple t-shirt with a black leather jacket. The pony saw that Athena was looking at her. “What? Are you looking for a fight?” The pony asked Athena. Athena shock her head. “Good, I am here for the money not to make friends.” Athena just nodded and walked to her seat. Athena was sitting in front with the man, the CL4P-TP united was sitting behind here and the sheriff was to the right of the CL4P-TP. The pony was sitting alone behind the rest. As soon as Athena sat down, they heard Jack in the speakers. “Buckle up kiddos, you are going for the ride of your life.” Then the door to the rocket closed, there was no turning back now. The pony looked at her seat. “We can’t ‘buckle up,’ we don’t have…” that was all she could say at the rocket started to move and she was pushed back in her seat. As the rocket took off, a bunch of bandit and psychos drove up the side of the rocket with their cars. They then fired grappling hooks with launchers, once they were attach to it the swung over to the rocket, the they started to climb up. One bandit was hit in the head by a barrel that was launched by one of the cars, he fell of the rocket. Once the bandits had climb up, they opened some hatches and managed to clime inside just before the rocket launched into the atmosphere. Inside the rocket, the pony had enough trouble not throwing up. “This is insane.” “It may be insane, but this is the only way of Pandora.” Said the sheriff in a calm tone. As they entered space, they all heard something landed behind them. It was bandits. “Just fucking great.” Said the pony. One of them took out a sawblade and started to swing around with it, he then charge the Vault Hunters. That made the elderly man jump into action, he jump into the air and fired a few shout of his shout gun, he then landed on the bandit and showed the blade into the bandit. Wilhelm as the Enforcer. Then the bandit took out their weapons and started to fire, that made Athena jump over Wilhelm, she landed in front of him and activate her shield on her right wrist, which stopped the bullets. She the threw her shield at the bandits, some of the bandits managed to doge the shield but not the last one, he was hit. The shield then flew back to its owner. Athena as the Gladiator. Then the woman with the hat step forward, she took out two guns and started to shoot the bandits and killing some of them. Nisha as the Lawbringer. Then one of the bandits ran into the CL4P-TP united, then a disco ball appeared above the robot head and he started to dance. He then pulled out a wand and he had a wizard het on its head, then he pulled out a sniper rifle and shot the bandit. Claptrap as a mistake. Then it was only two bandit left, but before anyone could do anything, they were lifted up by purple energy. He Vault hunters looked behind them and saw that it was the pony and her hands was glowing, the pony then threw both bandit into the wall, killing them. Tempest Shadow as the pony. Athena. “If the Lost Legion hadn’t ambushed Helios station… everything might have gone a different way.” While the Vault Hunters was fighting the bandits, a giant space ship fire a missile toward the rocket they were in. Then the light started to flash red and they all knew what was going to happened, they were going to crash. Author's Note Here we go again. JackTempest opened her eyes and the first thing she heard was a loud noise that sounded like an alarm. “Shit, my head.” She opened her eyes and saw that she was lying on her stomach, she sat up and rubbed her head. “What the hell happened?” She asked no one in particular. She then looked to her left and saw the rest of the Vault Hunters lying unconscious, not that she cared or anything. Then they all started to move. Athena was the first one to sit up. “Well, that happened.” Before anyone ells could say anything, a CL4P-TP united, which was blue, approached them. “Hellooo, Vault Hunters, and thank you all for answering Hyperion’s summons! Unfortunately, the Helios space station is currently under attack by insane Dahl military forces! Please, take this ECHO device.” The CL4P-TP united handed out five different ECHO devices to the Vault Hunters. They took it and put the are piece into their ears, they then placed the ECHO devices on their hip. “Now, follow me! I can take you to your contractor liaison!” The CL4P-TP united started to roll. “This better be worth the money this Jack is paying me.” Tempest said as she followed the CL4P-TP united, the other agreed with what she said. Except Claptrap, he was just happy to alive. “What a nice and handsome robot.” They all looked at Claptrap as he had gone crazy. “What? Was it something I said?” Before they could say something, the blue CL4P started to speak. “Neat rocket! Landing coulda used some work, but A for effort!” “Does all the robot’s on this station talk that much?” Tempest asked Athena. “Apparently, they were made with a design flawed, that’s why they are so loud.” Tempest couldn’t help but groan. “Great, just great.” All five Vault hunters followed the blue Claptrap unite. As they walked through the area, Tempest could see things she had never seen before and one of those was a giant rocket. The Vault hunters gather ammo in boxes that was scattered around the area. Then Nisha decided to ask Tempest something. “Why are you gathering ammo? Do you even have a gun?” She said with a grin on her face. Then, before she could react, Tempest pull out a gun and pointed at Nisha. “What do you call this?” It was a Dahl revolver. “I kill a bandit and took his gun.” Nisha then walked over to Tempest and placed her forehead into the barrel of the gun. “I bet you don’t have the guts to pull the trigger.” She said without losing her cool. “Let’s find out.” Tempest started to pull the trigger and was about to shout when Athena step in. “Knock it of you two, let’s focus on the real enemy.” She told them while pushing away the revolver from Nisha’s forehead. Nisha just smiled as she walked away. “You got lucky.” Tempest told her, she then looked at Athena with anger in her eyes. “Why the hell did you do that?” “Your enemy is not her but those who are invading Hellos station, focus on them not her.” Tempest wanted to jell at her, but she had a point. “Fine, but when this job is done, I am going to kill her.” They both joined up with the rest by the blue CL4P-TP unit at the door. He then rolled to a panel. “Here, let me open this door.” He started to press some buttons. “Open for me, oh door!” The door opened. They walked down a corridor. “Jack’s just around the corner! Let’s go!” As the group walk through a hallway they could see some more robots begging destroy, probably by the ones who were invading the station. The clap-trap rolled over to the destroyed robot. “The Lost Legion are REALLY making a mess of this place!” The group the grope came to a new room, they could see people in armour which was the Lost Legion. “Time to get to work.” Said Athena who jump into action by throwing her shield at the nearest Legion, it hit him straight in the face and then the shield came back to her. Then Nisha smiled. “Now this is a party.” She said while running into the rooming shooting at the Legion, killing two of them. “I don’t understand how she thinks this is a party.” Said Tempest as ran into the room after the sheriff. One Legion tried to shot the unicorn, but Tempest put up a barrier which stop the bullets. She then used her magic to throw the Legion into a wall, killing him. “A party? I love a party.” Said Claptrap as he rolled into the fight killing some Legion in the process. Wilhelm said nothing, he just ran into the room killing the rest of the Legion. Then the blue CL4P-TP united rolled into the room. “You all saved me! We have to get to the moonshot supply control room and get to Jack” He loves me.” It said as it went to the next door. Athena went to one of the boxes that was near the door, opening it and it revealing ammo. “I suggest we stack up on ammo.” She told the others Hunters as she grabbed ammo. Nisha crossed her arms and frowned. “Who made you the boss?” She asked the gladiator. “Fine, don’t listen to me.” Athena answered without looking at her. After taking what she needed, she headed to the door. Tempest, Wilhelm and Claptrap followed Athena suggestion. Nisha just watch them, she eventually did the same. They all gathered by the door when they were ready. The blue CL4P-TP was standing over a dead robot. “The Lost Legion musta killed this one. People think robots can’t feel pain, but we actually feel it slow motion with great intensity! This robot died in horrific agan…” That was the CL4P-TP could say as the door open and some Legion killed it, then the group took care of Legion. “About time someone killed that annoying robot, it was giving me a headache.” Said Nisha as she walk into the room where three Legion body were. Then Jack appeared on their ECHO. “HA, that’s was awesome! I see that the Vault Hunters I hired has arrived, we can talk later because right now I am being shot at.” The got the group to run into the next room, they were nothing going to let the man that were paying them to die. When arriving at the room, they saw a man there and the Legion was trying to kill him. “Help! Lots of help! I got no idea who these asshole troops are or why they’ve got a murder-on for this space station, but they’ve got me pinned!” He was by a console as the Legion was trying to kill him, he managed to kill some of them with the weapons on his wrist until he got punched in the face which made him fell to the floor, and then the Legion started to kick him. Jack, in over his head. As Tempest and the rest of the Vault Hunters went to save him, a new face appeared on the ECHO, it was a woman. “Attention, Hyperion: your Helios Space Station now belongs to the Lost Legion. Surrender before it is too late.” While she was talking they had killed the Legion there and saved jack. “Holy crap! You all saved my life! Thank you! Heh – sorry, heart’s pounding. Never been shot at before. Kinda fun, actually. Look, these crazy bastards attacked Helios Station right after I sent for you guys.” He then look at the Vault Hunters and he notice something. “Weren’t it supposed to five of you?” They started to look around and notice that the pony was missing. “I guess this will do.” They then look at the bottom off the stairs and she that she was looting a Legion corps, she stop up with an assault rifle in her hands. “Hey pony, what are you doing?” Jack asked her. Tempest gave him a deadpan look. “My name is Tempest Shadow and what does it looks like, I’m getting myself a new weapon.” They just started at her until Jack decided to speak. “Alright then. Let’s get back to the problem at hand, if we can drive them off, we’ll be free to go after that Vault on the moon’s surface.” He then went to his pocket. “And here, I have some shields for you all. Pretty self-explanatory, really it’ll wat bullets until it depletes. When it does, you’ve gotta hide and give it time to recharge.” He then walk to a console. “Hey, just let me activate the defence controls. Few seconds, we’ll have turrets, force fields, laser wires – these assholes won’t know what hit ‘em.” Jack started to type on the console when a woman voice started to speak. “Critical failure. Helios defence systems are being jammed.” That made Jack panic. “What? How?” He asked the computer. “Jamming signal originates from Elpis, Pandora’s moon.” She answered. Then turrets appeared. “Oh crap. Kill the turrets! KILL THE TURRETS.” As soon as they appeared, the Hunters started to fire towards, destroying them with ease. “Agghhh, this day gets better and better.” “I guess we aren’t getting pay right away.” Said Tempest while leaning her assault rifle on her shoulder. “No and it looks like we have to go with plan B! If we can’t take Helios back, we need to evacuate! Escape ships are this way” Jack started to run, and the Hunters followed him. “Well, this should be exciting.” Said Tempest as she followed Jack. Author's Note It was about time I posted a new chapter. Colonel ZarpedonJack and the five hunters ran down the ramp and took a left, while they followed Jack a woman appeared on the ECHO net. “We must take this ground!” “Who is that woman?” Athena asked Jack. “I uh – she leads these jackasses, I think? I dunno. But the first person to shoot her in the head gets a high five and a turbo mansion.” That made Tempest crack a smile. ‘That bitch is mine.’ She thought for herself as she followed Jack. They eventually came to a door. “Alright, let me get this door – the escape ships are nearby.” Jack walked over to a control panel and pulled a lever which made the doors open, they all could see a ship at other side of the room. When they all arrived at the exit, a panel in the floor open and up came a woman on a giant mech. It was the same lady as before. “Ohhh, son of a taint.” Said Jack as the woman destroyed the two escape ships there. “Hey, it’s that Colonel! Execute plan shoot-that-chick-in-the-head!” Jack told the hunters as they all open fired at her. She then turned to face Jack and the hunters. “Hello, Jack.” Colonel T. Zarpedon Commander of the Lost Legion. As Jack and the hunters started to shot at Zarpedon, a mystic figure started to approached them. It took a flip over Zarpedon and landed in front of her, it then raised its hand and stop all of their pullets. “Naughty.” The creature told them while waving it’s finger. I have no idea what to write here…? Then Zarpedon started to fire on Jack and the hunters. “Okay, that’s unnerving. RUN!” Jack dove into the room and the doors shut. “Aw, perfect, she destroyed the ships! We gotta find another way off the station.” Said Jack as he got up and started to walk to another control panel. “What was that alien looking thing?” Wilhelm asked Jack. “Uh, no idea, but I get the feeling it could kill us with its brain, so, y’know, uh, keep running.” Said Jack as he open another door. “Kill one with its brain, I know of someone who can do that.” Said Tempest in a calm voice. The other hunters and Jack look at her with a horrified look, not Claptrap, he didn’t have a face, but he was terrified considering he was shaking with fear. They started to walk through another corridor and then a man in a suit appeared on the ECHO. “Jack, what the hell is going on? I’m getting reports of alarms all across Helios.” They arrived in a new room with a window and a new door. “Uh, nothing, sir! Nothing, everything’s fine. Just, uh – one of the CLAP-TP units tried to french kiss a light sockets. Sir.” Jack answered as he walk over to the window. Then Claptrap had to open its mouth or speaker box. “That would be difficult, considering we don’t have tongue.” The rest of them just look at him with annoyance. Then the man in the suit spoke. “Need I remind you that you are there to observe Pandora, nothing more! If you incur any damages to the Helios space station, I will personally—” Then Jack started to make some noises with his mouth. “—Ahhhh, [kzzt] sorry sir, we’re [kzzzt] losing connection, I can’t… sor…” Jack walk over to the panel and open the door. “Asshole.” Then the man appeared again. “What?” He didn’t sound happy. “I called you an asshole cause I thought I’d hung up? My bad.” “We will speak again, John.” “Something tells me that asshole don’t know about your plan to go to the vault.” Said Tempest as they walk through a tunnel. “Nope.” They then arrived outside of the station and they could see a planet. “There’s Elpis. That friggin’ jamming signal is somewhere down on that cracked rock, messing up all the cool security stuff up here.” They all look at Elpis and they could see cracks in the planet. Then all off sudden a Lost Legion ship appeared and started to fire on them, the hunters scattered and started to fire back at it while they were doing hat, the ship dropped of troopers who also started to fire at the hunters. “Son of a TAINT.” Jack cursed. “Hey, why the hell are you attacking us, you dicks?” Jack asked the Legion, they didn’t answer him. Then Zarpedon appeared. “I want this station, and I want to save the universe.” “The hell’s that supposed to mean.” Said Jack as keep firing on the Legion, so did the rest of the group. After they were done killing the Legion minions, they venture forward only to meet more of the Lost Legion. “Fuck, these guys are everywhere.” Said Tempest as she hide behind some cover, so she didn’t get shot. “You can say that again.” Said Athena as she shot one in the head before getting into cover. Then they started to fire back killing the rest of the Legion, then they climbed some stairs and there was more Legion there, they managed to take care of them pretty quickly. They eventually managed to get inside to catch a breather, but there was more Legion there, they were dead before they could act. “What are these maniacs doing? We don’t even have a real military up here, they’re just murdering workers! And us if we don’t move it!” Said Jack. In the room that look lie a control room there was some boxes that contain some ammo so the hunters restocked and then they continued on and while they were doing that Jack had gone to a window because he had an idea. “Okay well, I’ve got an stupid idea – we’re gonna head to that Moonshot Cannon. Follow me!” He then headed for the door. “What’s this ‘Moonshot Cannon’ we’re heading towards?” Athena asked him. “Basically a huge gun that shoots supplies down to the moon’s surface like at about a thousand miles an hour. We’re gonna get in one of those containers and escape that way.” The hunters wasn’t sure if they heard right. “Will we survive that?” Athena asked Jack. “I dunno. Be a pretty cool way to die thought, huh?” Tempest was just speechless. “This better be worth the money he is going to pay us or he’s dead.” She mumbled to herself as she followed Jack. Author's Note It's been a while, I just haven't have the energy to write a new chapter before now, I know it's not very good and it's short.
PrologueAfter defeating Handsome Jack, the Crimson Raiders on the floating town of Sanctuary wanted to learn what really happened to the Jack, before he become a crazy murderous psychopath. Mordecai and Brick kidnap another Vault Hunter by the name of Athena to get some answer. Mac, Maya and Gaige was currently walking towards where the entrance to Sanctuary should be, which it wasn’t anymore considering that Sanctuary was now a floating town. “I can’t wait to meet the Vault Hunter that Brick and Mordecai brought in, I heard that she put up one hell of fight.” Said Gaige the Mechromancer. “You sound exciting to meet this Vault Hunter.” Said Maya the Siren. “She’s been too the moon for fuck sake, of course I want to meet here.” Mac was about say something when he saw Brick and Mordecai walking towards them, Brick was leaning on Mordecai’s shoulder. It looked like they had taken a beating. “What happened to you two?” He asked them. “We got beaten up by two girls.” Mordecai told them as they stop. That made Gaige laugh. “Oh man, I knew that you two got beaten up by one girl, but two? That’s hilarious.” She then started to laugh even more. Even Mac and Maya couldn’t help but contain their laughter, they didn’t laugh as much as Gaige, but you could hear them. “It’s not funny.” Said Brick in a humiliated tone. Gaige didn’t listen to them she was now laughing so hard that she had fallen on her back, she was rolling around her back. Mordecai and Brick started to walk again. “Come on Brick, let’s het to Zed and get patch up.” They really didn’t want to go the Zed, but considering he was the only doctor in Sanctuary, they didn’t have a much of a choice. They also wanted to get away from Gaige. When they were gone, Gaige had finally managed to calm down. She, Maya and Mac continued towards where Lilith had the Vault Hunter knows as Athena held capture. Once they got there, they saw a woman with a hood tied up to a pol with four Crimson Raiders pointing guns at her. When Athena saw Mac, she couldn’t help but smile at him. Mac wonder why. Then Lilith said something. “Now, I will ask you this only once… why?” Then Athena stared to tell her story. “That is a long story.” They started to listen to her. “After the fall of General Knoxx, I wandered Pandora as a hired gun. One day, I received a job offer from a low level Hyperion programmer. ‘Come to the moon,’ it said. ‘Hunt a Vault be a hero.’ I didn’t trust Hyperion, but I was too hungry to pass up a paying job.” “And what did you find?” Lilith asked her. “Violence. Insanity. And… A hero.” Gaige leaned towards Mac and Maya. “Is she talking about the same Handsome Jack that tried to kill us several times?” She asked the pony and Siren, they both nodded. “Ok, that’s weird.” They agreed on what the Mechromancer said. “What about the others that help you? Who was the other Vault Hunters?” Asked Lilith. “It was me, Wilhelm, Nisha, your friend Claptrap and a pony named Tempest Shadow.” Everyone was speechless when they heard the last Vault Hunter, especially Mac. He thought that he was the only pony on Pandora, not anymore. “Another pony? I’m not the only one?” He said in a whispering tone. He then started to walk towards Athena with anger in his eyes. “Tell me what you know.” He said in a threating tone. He didn’t get very far Lilith block his way. “Easy there Mac, let’s hear her story first.” “Hear her story? I just found out that’s another pony on Pandora before me and you are telling me that I have to listen to her story? I am not going to do that I am going to beat it out of her.” Athena couldn’t help but smile. “Then you should beat up Lilith too, she was there. She also help Handsome Jack.” That made Lilith freeze, she didn’t expect Athena to say that. Mac looked at his friend. “Tell me she is lying, tell me that you didn’t help Jack.” Lilith didn’t say anything. “TELL ME.” He shouted at her. “Yes, it’s true I help Jack and you aren’t the first pony I have seen on Pandora. Tempest was the first one.” Mac wasn’t sure how to feel right now, he had been lied to and if there’s one thing he hate more than anything, that was been lied to. “I knew you gave me weird look when we first meet, it was like you weren’t surprised to see me at all.” Lilith looked down on the ground. “And the reason is that I was not the first pony you had seen.” “Yes, it’s all true.” “Then why did you lie to me?” Lilith tried to say something, but no words came out. “WHY DID YOU LIE TO ME.” He shouted at her. “BECAUSE SHE IS DEAD.” She shouted back at him. That shock Mac. “Because she is dead, Jack killed her.” Mac was in utter shock he didn’t want to hear those words. Then they heard laughter from Athena, they looked at her. “Is that you heard? Jack didn’t kill Tempest she is still alive.” That just confused everyone. “But Jack told me that he killed her.” Said Lilith not understanding what was going on. “And you believe him? This is what really happened.” Then Athena started to tell her story. Athena had just entered the rocket that was going to take her to Helios, she could see a CL4P-TP united, a woman with a hat that looked like a sheriff, an elderly man who had a metallic eye. What surprised her the most was the fourth Vault Hunter, a female anthropomorphics pony with purple fur, blood red hair and tail? She had scar on her right her eye and her horn was missing. She was wearing black pants, a purple t-shirt with a black leather jacket. The pony saw that Athena was looking at her. “What? Are you looking for a fight?” The pony asked Athena. Athena shock her head. “Good, I am here for the money not to make friends.” Athena just nodded and walked to her seat. Athena was sitting in front with the man, the CL4P-TP united was sitting behind here and the sheriff was to the right of the CL4P-TP. The pony was sitting alone behind the rest. As soon as Athena sat down, they heard Jack in the speakers. “Buckle up kiddos, you are going for the ride of your life.” Then the door to the rocket closed, there was no turning back now. The pony looked at her seat. “We can’t ‘buckle up,’ we don’t have…” that was all she could say at the rocket started to move and she was pushed back in her seat. As the rocket took off, a bunch of bandit and psychos drove up the side of the rocket with their cars. They then fired grappling hooks with launchers, once they were attach to it the swung over to the rocket, the they started to climb up. One bandit was hit in the head by a barrel that was launched by one of the cars, he fell of the rocket. Once the bandits had climb up, they opened some hatches and managed to clime inside just before the rocket launched into the atmosphere. Inside the rocket, the pony had enough trouble not throwing up. “This is insane.” “It may be insane, but this is the only way of Pandora.” Said the sheriff in a calm tone. As they entered space, they all heard something landed behind them. It was bandits. “Just fucking great.” Said the pony. One of them took out a sawblade and started to swing around with it, he then charge the Vault Hunters. That made the elderly man jump into action, he jump into the air and fired a few shout of his shout gun, he then landed on the bandit and showed the blade into the bandit. Wilhelm as the Enforcer. Then the bandit took out their weapons and started to fire, that made Athena jump over Wilhelm, she landed in front of him and activate her shield on her right wrist, which stopped the bullets. She the threw her shield at the bandits, some of the bandits managed to doge the shield but not the last one, he was hit. The shield then flew back to its owner. Athena as the Gladiator. Then the woman with the hat step forward, she took out two guns and started to shoot the bandits and killing some of them. Nisha as the Lawbringer. Then one of the bandits ran into the CL4P-TP united, then a disco ball appeared above the robot head and he started to dance. He then pulled out a wand and he had a wizard het on its head, then he pulled out a sniper rifle and shot the bandit. Claptrap as a mistake. Then it was only two bandit left, but before anyone could do anything, they were lifted up by purple energy.

Then the light started to flash red and they all knew what was going to happened, they were going to crash. Author's Note Here we go again.
JackTempest opened her eyes and the first thing she heard was a loud noise that sounded like an alarm. “Shit, my head.” She opened her eyes and saw that she was lying on her stomach, she sat up and rubbed her head. “What the hell happened?” She asked no one in particular. She then looked to her left and saw the rest of the Vault Hunters lying unconscious, not that she cared or anything. Then they all started to move. Athena was the first one to sit up. “Well, that happened.” Before anyone ells could say anything, a CL4P-TP united, which was blue, approached them. “Hellooo, Vault Hunters, and thank you all for answering Hyperion’s summons! Unfortunately, the Helios space station is currently under attack by insane Dahl military forces! Please, take this ECHO device.” The CL4P-TP united handed out five different ECHO devices to the Vault Hunters. They took it and put the are piece into their ears, they then placed the ECHO devices on their hip. “Now, follow me! I can take you to your contractor liaison!” The CL4P-TP united started to roll. “This better be worth the money this Jack is paying me.” Tempest said as she followed the CL4P-TP united, the other agreed with what she said. Except Claptrap, he was just happy to alive. “What a nice and handsome robot.” They all looked at Claptrap as he had gone crazy. “What? Was it something I said?” Before they could say something, the blue CL4P started to speak. “Neat rocket! Landing coulda used some work, but A for effort!” “Does all the robot’s on this station talk that much?” Tempest asked Athena. “Apparently, they were made with a design flawed, that’s why they are so loud.” Tempest couldn’t help but groan. “Great, just great.” All five Vault hunters followed the blue Claptrap unite. As they walked through the area, Tempest could see things she had never seen before and one of those was a giant rocket. The Vault hunters gather ammo in boxes that was scattered around the area. Then Nisha decided to ask Tempest something. “Why are you gathering ammo? Do you even have a gun?” She said with a grin on her face. Then, before she could react, Tempest pull out a gun and pointed at Nisha. “What do you call this?” It was a Dahl revolver. “I kill a bandit and took his gun.” Nisha then walked over to Tempest and placed her forehead into the barrel of the gun. “I bet you don’t have the guts to pull the trigger.” She said without losing her cool. “Let’s find out.” Tempest started to pull the trigger and was about to shout when Athena step in. “Knock it of you two, let’s focus on the real enemy.” She told them while pushing away the revolver from Nisha’s forehead. Nisha just smiled as she walked away. “You got lucky.” Tempest told her, she then looked at Athena with anger in her eyes. “Why the hell did you do that?” “Your enemy is not her but those who are invading Hellos station, focus on them not her.” Tempest wanted to jell at her, but she had a point. “Fine, but when this job is done, I am going to kill her.” They both joined up with the rest by the blue CL4P-TP unit at the door. He then rolled to a panel. “Here, let me open this door.” He started to press some buttons. “Open for me, oh door!” The door opened. They walked down a corridor. “Jack’s just around the corner! Let’s go!” As the group walk through a hallway they could see some more robots begging destroy, probably by the ones who were invading the station. The clap-trap rolled over to the destroyed robot. “The Lost Legion are REALLY making a mess of this place!” The group the grope came to a new room, they could see people in armour which was the Lost Legion. “Time to get to work.” Said Athena who jump into action by throwing her shield at the nearest Legion, it hit him straight in the face and then the shield came back to her. Then Nisha smiled. “Now this is a party.” She said while running into the rooming shooting at the Legion, killing two of them. “I don’t understand how she thinks this is a party.” Said Tempest as ran into the room after the sheriff. One Legion tried to shot the unicorn, but Tempest put up a barrier which stop the bullets. She then used her magic to throw the Legion into a wall, killing him. “A party? I love a party.” Said Claptrap as he rolled into the fight killing some Legion in the process. Wilhelm said nothing, he just ran into the room killing the rest of the Legion. Then the blue CL4P-TP united rolled into the room. “You all saved me! We have to get to the moonshot supply control room and get to Jack” He loves me.” It said as it went to the next door. Athena went to one of the boxes that was near the door, opening it and it revealing ammo. “I suggest we stack up on ammo.” She told the others Hunters as she grabbed ammo. Nisha crossed her arms and frowned. “Who made you the boss?” She asked the gladiator. “Fine, don’t listen to me.” Athena answered without looking at her. After taking what she needed, she headed to the door. Tempest, Wilhelm and Claptrap followed Athena suggestion. Nisha just watch them, she eventually did the same. They all gathered by the door when they were ready. The blue CL4P-TP was standing over a dead robot. “The Lost Legion musta killed this one. People think robots can’t feel pain, but we actually feel it slow motion with great intensity! This robot died in horrific agan…” That was the CL4P-TP could say as the door open and some Legion killed it, then the group took care of Legion. “About time someone killed that annoying robot, it was giving me a headache.” Said Nisha as she walk into the room where three Legion body were. Then Jack appeared on their ECHO. “HA, that’s was awesome! I see that the Vault Hunters I hired has arrived, we can talk later because right now I am being shot at.” The got the group to run into the next room, they were nothing going to let the man that were paying them to die. When arriving at the room, they saw a man there and the Legion was trying to kill him. “Help! Lots of help! I got no idea who these asshole troops are or why they’ve got a murder-on for this space station, but they’ve got me pinned!” He was by a console as the Legion was trying to kill him, he managed to kill some of them with the weapons on his wrist until he got punched in the face which made him fell to the floor, and then the Legion started to kick him. Jack, in over his head. As Tempest and the rest of the Vault Hunters went to save him, a new face appeared on the ECHO, it was a woman. “Attention, Hyperion: your Helios Space Station now belongs to the Lost Legion. Surrender before it is too late.” While she was talking they had killed the Legion there and saved jack. “Holy crap! You all saved my life! Thank you! Heh – sorry, heart’s pounding. Never been shot at before. Kinda fun, actually. Look, these crazy bastards attacked Helios Station right after I sent for you guys.” He then look at the Vault Hunters and he notice something. “Weren’t it supposed to five of you?” They started to look around and notice that the pony was missing. “I guess this will do.” They then look at the bottom off the stairs and she that she was looting a Legion corps, she stop up with an assault rifle in her hands. “Hey pony, what are you doing?” Jack asked her. Tempest gave him a deadpan look. “My name is Tempest Shadow and what does it looks like, I’m getting myself a new weapon.” They just started at her until Jack decided to speak. “Alright then. Let’s get back to the problem at hand, if we can drive them off, we’ll be free to go after that Vault on the moon’s surface.” He then went to his pocket. “And here, I have some shields for you all. Pretty self-explanatory, really it’ll wat bullets until it depletes. When it does, you’ve gotta hide and give it time to recharge.” He then walk to a console. “Hey, just let me activate the defence controls. Few seconds, we’ll have turrets, force fields, laser wires – these assholes won’t know what hit ‘em.” Jack started to type on the console when a woman voice started to speak. “Critical failure. Helios defence systems are being jammed.” That made Jack panic. “What? How?” He asked the computer. “Jamming signal originates from Elpis, Pandora’s moon.” She answered. Then turrets appeared. “Oh crap. Kill the turrets! KILL THE TURRETS.” As soon as they appeared, the Hunters started to fire towards, destroying them with ease. “Agghhh, this day gets better and better.” “I guess we aren’t getting pay right away.” Said Tempest while leaning her assault rifle on her shoulder. “No and it looks like we have to go with plan B! If we can’t take Helios back, we need to evacuate! Escape ships are this way” Jack started to run, and the Hunters followed him. “Well, this should be exciting.” Said Tempest as she followed Jack. Author's Note It was about time I posted a new chapter.
Colonel ZarpedonJack and the five hunters ran down the ramp and took a left, while they followed Jack a woman appeared on the ECHO net. “We must take this ground!” “Who is that woman?” Athena asked Jack. “I uh – she leads these jackasses, I think? I dunno. But the first person to shoot her in the head gets a high five and a turbo mansion.” That made Tempest crack a smile. ‘That bitch is mine.’ She thought for herself as she followed Jack. They eventually came to a door. “Alright, let me get this door – the escape ships are nearby.” Jack walked over to a control panel and pulled a lever which made the doors open, they all could see a ship at other side of the room. When they all arrived at the exit, a panel in the floor open and up came a woman on a giant mech. It was the same lady as before. “Ohhh, son of a taint.” Said Jack as the woman destroyed the two escape ships there. “Hey, it’s that Colonel! Execute plan shoot-that-chick-in-the-head!” Jack told the hunters as they all open fired at her. She then turned to face Jack and the hunters. “Hello, Jack.” Colonel T. Zarpedon Commander of the Lost Legion. As Jack and the hunters started to shot at Zarpedon, a mystic figure started to approached them. It took a flip over Zarpedon and landed in front of her, it then raised its hand and stop all of their pullets. “Naughty.” The creature told them while waving it’s finger. I have no idea what to write here…? Then Zarpedon started to fire on Jack and the hunters. “Okay, that’s unnerving. RUN!” Jack dove into the room and the doors shut. “Aw, perfect, she destroyed the ships! We gotta find another way off the station.” Said Jack as he got up and started to walk to another control panel. “What was that alien looking thing?” Wilhelm asked Jack. “Uh, no idea, but I get the feeling it could kill us with its brain, so, y’know, uh, keep running.” Said Jack as he open another door. “Kill one with its brain, I know of someone who can do that.” Said Tempest in a calm voice. The other hunters and Jack look at her with a horrified look, not Claptrap, he didn’t have a face, but he was terrified considering he was shaking with fear. They started to walk through another corridor and then a man in a suit appeared on the ECHO. “Jack, what the hell is going on? I’m getting reports of alarms all across Helios.” They arrived in a new room with a window and a new door. “Uh, nothing, sir! Nothing, everything’s fine. Just, uh – one of the CLAP-TP units tried to french kiss a light sockets. Sir.” Jack answered as he walk over to the window. Then Claptrap had to open its mouth or speaker box. “That would be difficult, considering we don’t have tongue.” The rest of them just look at him with annoyance. Then the man in the suit spoke. “Need I remind you that you are there to observe Pandora, nothing more! If you incur any damages to the Helios space station, I will personally—” Then Jack started to make some noises with his mouth. “—Ahhhh, [kzzt] sorry sir, we’re [kzzzt] losing connection, I can’t… sor…” Jack walk over to the panel and open the door. “Asshole.” Then the man appeared again. “What?” He didn’t sound happy. “I called you an asshole cause I thought I’d hung up? My bad.” “We will speak again, John.” “Something tells me that asshole don’t know about your plan to go to the vault.” Said Tempest as they walk through a tunnel. “Nope.” They then arrived outside of the station and they could see a planet. “There’s Elpis. That friggin’ jamming signal is somewhere down on that cracked rock, messing up all the cool security stuff up here.” They all look at Elpis and they could see cracks in the planet. Then all off sudden a Lost Legion ship appeared and started to fire on them, the hunters scattered and started to fire back at it while they were doing hat, the ship dropped of troopers who also started to fire at the hunters. “Son of a TAINT.” Jack cursed. “Hey, why the hell are you attacking us, you dicks?” Jack asked the Legion, they didn’t answer him. Then Zarpedon appeared. “I want this station, and I want to save the universe.” “The hell’s that supposed to mean.” Said Jack as keep firing on the Legion, so did the rest of the group. After they were done killing the Legion minions, they venture forward only to meet more of the Lost Legion. “Fuck, these guys are everywhere.” Said Tempest as she hide behind some cover, so she didn’t get shot. “You can say that again.” Said Athena as she shot one in the head before getting into cover. Then they started to fire back killing the rest of the Legion, then they climbed some stairs and there was more Legion there, they managed to take care of them pretty quickly. They eventually managed to get inside to catch a breather, but there was more Legion there, they were dead before they could act. “What are these maniacs doing? We don’t even have a real military up here, they’re just murdering workers! And us if we don’t move it!” Said Jack. In the room that look lie a control room there was some boxes that contain some ammo so the hunters restocked and then they continued on and while they were doing that Jack had gone to a window because he had an idea. “Okay well, I’ve got an stupid idea – we’re gonna head to that Moonshot Cannon. Follow me!” He then headed for the door. “What’s this ‘Moonshot Cannon’ we’re heading towards?” Athena asked him. “Basically a huge gun that shoots supplies down to the moon’s surface like at about a thousand miles an hour. We’re gonna get in one of those containers and escape that way.” The hunters wasn’t sure if they heard right. “Will we survive that?” Athena asked Jack. “I dunno. Be a pretty cool way to die thought, huh?” Tempest was just speechless. “This better be worth the money he is going to pay us or he’s dead.” She mumbled to herself as she followed Jack. Author's Note It's been a while, I just haven't have the energy to write a new chapter before now, I know it's not very good and it's short.
