Tempest 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.
