Borderland The Pre Sequel Tempest Shadow DLC
Colonel Zarpedon
Previous ChapterJack 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.
