Prologue

Oh so, you're here to read another fanfiction? One where the character/protagonist(s) gets transported to Equestria to start their journey of finding true love & friendship while overcoming their own problems while helping save Equestria? Well if not then too bad it ain't gonna be like that over cliched stuff.

Our story begins when the Vault Hunter is on a mission to retrieve or destroy what ever is inside the Vault along with his companion/friend CL4P-TP after the fall of The Maliwan Corporation. But CL4P-TP is now entirely different (much to the dismay of mostly everyone back at Sanctuary lll). Different how? You might ask. Well,

1) He no longer has the boxy, trapieziodal body.
2) Can walk on stairs, yes you read it right WALK.
3) Has a humaniod shape as well being over 6 feet tall.

All thanks to the new Vault Hunter that joined the group of the second generation to help bring down the Tyranny of Handsome Jack had on Pandora when he was first transported here. But enough of that, now let's get on with the story.

Planet:??? Current Location: Below the moons surface.

Inside the Vault, CL4P-TP giving his partner/friend cover fire by taking out the Eridian Guards & helping him take out the Vault Monster every so often.

"Keep aiming for it's eyes! It's about to go down!"

"I can't! I'm being pinned down by these fucking assholes! ARRGGHHHH!!!"

Things weren't going in their favor but then again does anything really? They were soon thrown back when it slammed its palm onto the floor releasing a huge electric shock depleting their shields. "God damnit!!" getting angry he, along with CL4P-TP, threw several Dahl slagging sticky longbow bouncing betties to increase the amount of damage being unleashed upon the Guardians. Switching from his Bitch SMG to Norfleet he shot towards CL4P-TP. The Norfleet, one of the most powerful Rocket Launchers ever made, it even outperforms the Torgue Legendary rocket launcher! (Nukem). Doesn't matter if you're hiding behind cover, full shield & health, or you have an entire platoon of armed personal you are fucked if you get hit with plasma orbs. It's like essentially the BFG from the DOOM franchise. Utilizing E-tech that was manufactured & sold by the Hyperion Corporation when the Vault opened on Pandora every 200 years. Upon firing the Norfleet, it shot 3 projectiles towards CL4P-TP, one of the orbs flew over completely missing but the other two hit their intended targets. Upon contact the orbs disintegrated the Guardians to nothing but a pile of ash the others near by although weren't out right killed were set on fire due to them being slagged by the bouncing betties. However, "Nnnggghhh!" It sets the wielder on fire or whatever elemental effect it has, even if they aren't in the blast zone or hit anything.

Seeing that he is now free, they both fire every single bullet, rocket, grenade at the Vault Monster. It's overwhelmed by the hell storm of projectiles it desperately tries to cover it's self to lessen the damage. It loses its arms, face, & life in the process. As it falls over in pain mumbling something in an unknown language, probably Eridian, they begin to pick off the remaining Eridian Guardians, once the Vault Monster slams down face first on the ground the monster gives a shout with its last breath before sinking into floor.

"Is it over?"
To answer that question the ground began to ripple, then an explosion occurs in the middle of the area (Eridium, moonstones, weapons, ammunition, shields, & Relics) making it rain loot.

"NOW it's over."

They begin to walk around picking up the loot as well replenishing their ammunition. In the midst of collecting the loot they begin to hear something rumbling.

"I spoke to soon."

CL4P-TP pulls the Legendary assault rifle the Hammer Buster, Corrosive Lyudmila, & equipped a Explosive Incendiary Nova shield a.k.a the Flame of the Firehawk while the other pulls out the Legendary Conference Call Shotgun, Incendiary Infinity Pistol, Corporate Bitch SMG & melee riot shield, The Hide of Terramorphous. As the rumbling continues to become louder they look everywhere weapons ready, they spot something rising out of the area where there's no ground just floating debris. They notice that most of the debris floating around them are all now falling into place forming a stairway to an area that was unaccessible before.

"Alright let's see what's in store for us this time." He lowers his weapon down, bends down to grab one of the shit quality weapons from the ground & throws it at the stairwell to see if it's trapped. Nothing happens, the weapon bounces over the stair & falls into the abyss of the cosmos below.

"Really?" CL4P-TP deadpanned.

"Hey, you never know what might happen & seeing how there's a surprise, sort of, in these Vaults, it's best to be cautious."

They both go up the stairwell and weapons ready in case anything gets the drop on them. Once they reach the top they see a container 5 feet tall & 4 wide just leaking large amounts of energy in between the cracks the lid flowing upwards similar to that of waterfall but in reverse or steam rising.

"Woah." CL4P-TP is amazed by the sight & proceeds to reach out to it but his partner is concerned about something. *Wait. Where have I known this before? The realization hits him, *That's right! Zer0 told us that something happened to Fionna & Rhys when they summoned a Vault onto Pandora! He looks at CL4P-TP & sees him about to touch the lid he tackles him to the ground.
"What are you doing?!" CL4P-TP shouts in confusion.

"Stopping you doing something that'll get us in deeper shit."

He gets off CL4P-TP & takes out his Echo Device to call the other Vault Hunters specifically Rhys & Zer0 but has trouble having a stable connection. He looks away from the Echo Device & turns to CL4P-TP, "Don't do anything, specifically DO NOT touch the container. Understand."

"Alright, alright. Geez, I thought you were my friend"

He looks at CL4P-TP then responds, "Oh I am, I just don't know what's going to happen if we, specifically you, opening the box. Because apparently Zer0 told me that Rhys & Fionna encountered the same thing & disappeared for quite sometime until Rhys came back out alone."

"Oh. And here I thought you were just being an asshole." He just scoffs, "Everyone back at Sanctuary is already doing that. Especially after when I gave you that cybernetic body I had when went & came back to my world or timeline." After that he goes back to trying to stabilize the connection. "Thanks by the way for giving me that & keeping your promise" -sniffs- "If I had actual eyes I would be crying right now."

He just smirks underneath the helmet. *Yeah. I remember after Moxxi transferred your conciseness into the Sentinel body & powered you up. You had a breakdown when you realized that you were taller than me, Moxxi, the rest of the gang, but a bit shorter than Brick & Krieg.* Once he went back to the task at hand, CL4P-TP kept looking at the Eridian container.

*Argh. I know he told not to open but I'm curious of what's inside in the container. Maybe if I take a quick peek.* He thought, looks back at his friend/partner. He was still struggling getting a stable connection when it finally gets through but gets Zer0's voicemail.

"To whom am I speaking to?/Just kidding busy at the moment./Just leave your message" -gunshot-

"Ah god damnit. Well we'll just have to wait fo-," he is cut off abruptly when he hears a low pitch whooshing noise. He looks around to see where the sound is coming from & turns around & sees CL4P-TP has ready opened the lid. He runs & shoves him away from the container shouting, "What the FUCK did I just say!!!"

CL4P-TP flinches turning around, "I'm sorry! I was just curious of what's inside! Can you possibly blame me!" Before the both of them can do anything (specifically he can punch CL4P-TP in the face) a flash of purple light washes over the both of them. Once the light died had down, the space where the two Vault Hunter once occupied are now empty. The Eridian Container that was overflowing with energy slowly comes to a stop, now with the lid removed, the container held nothing inside.

Badlands, Changeling Hive, Queen Chrysalis's Throne Room, same time of what has happened earlier

Chrysalis is having a difficult time reearning the trust of her subjects ever since the failure of the Canterlot invasion at the hands of Twilight Sparkle. Since then not everyone survived the blast most were killed by the impact, killed off by the wildlife, or captured & starved/tortured to death in cell somewhere. Now she is in the throne room disscussing with the other changeling superiors on how to secure more love for the hive without alerting the other nations specifically Equestria as well as protection from the Mualwurfs. As the discussion continues & becoming more heated, Chrysalis is mentally questioning about herself. *How can I call myself a leader when I can't even protect my own children! I can't let them continue suffering like this. Please what ever gods or goddesses are out there, please help me & my children survive.* But unbeknownst to her & everyone, two objects have entered the planet's atmosphere & hurling towards the surface, one crashes in the Badlands just in between a forest & the changeling hive, while the other is still heading father out into the distance. A few minutes later, just about when the conversation about to be more heated a couple of changeling soldiers burst in, breathing heavily.

"Forgive me for my interruption," one of them says with a panicked look on both of their faces, "but we bring very bad news!"

"What is it?" she asks nervously.

"It seems that we may have an attack force approaching" This sends in the entire room into chaos.

"WHAT?!" she shouts before getting off the throne, "How come you didn't inform us earlier!!!" One of the soldiers gulps nervously before replying,

"We were switching posts & when we got to the entrance we both saw a bright flash of yellow light creating a smoking trail behind it."

"This is bad. Get a platoon of the strongest guards & meet me outside the entrance. We'll defend our hive from these invaders!"

"Yes your majesty!" They shout in an unison before turning around to exit to gather them. *I hope they show mercy upon us or else I fear that the hive may not survive to live another day.*

Few minutes earlier

The crater created by crash, held a burnt & mangled body of the Vault Hunter where there are certain parts of the body are missing chunks of flesh & muscle have been burned off from the reentry onto the planet & crash landing, exposing the bones. Even being fully covered in body armor, equipped with a shield, & full on health it seems he has perished. . . Or so you thought, the body begins to release a black substance all over the individual that creates a hissing popping noise as well as something squirming inside which regenerate the wounds made by the crash/reentry & grow back the flesh & muscle as well as returning to the original color around the burnt areas. Once that's done they body begins to move & our Vault Hunter gets up gasping for air before crawling towards the crater.

"God damnit CL4P-TP! I fucking told you that not to touch it but yet you still fucking did." He yells & waiting for a response but realizes that his companion/friend isn't responding all he hears is the howling wind. He gets up after getting his bearings then looks around notices he surrounded by sand with CL4P-TP nowhere to be found along with his equipment, money, & medical supplies scattered all around him as well as his damaged armor. He thought he ended up in the Dust, Nexus Badlands, or some sort of dessert but doesn't see Hyperion tech, Bandit camps, or form of settlement anywhere. Looks at the sand & sees that sand is also different that it's more brown than tan. He looks off into the distance & sees a line of trees, at most a couple hundred meters from where he is at, indicating that he's near a forest causing him to slightly panic.

"I can worry about where I am after I check my equipment." He begins to remove his damaged armor except for his helmet leaving him in his jumpsuit. *I regret choosing almost all black now.* goes to the crater, gathers all of his equipment & sees that most of them (especially ammunition, medical supplies, Relics & 'food') were okay, especially his melee shield which is surprising considering that he crash landed on it. But their were some that were unsalvageable but they were the green or blue rarity & more importantly the Echo Device for contacting Sanctuary. He stores the Legendaries & purple rarities in another storage deck unit amongst the 5 that he has.

-Sighs- "Well their goes several hundred thousands of dollars down the trash. Luckily I have another Echo Device!" He pulls it out to contact the others only to met with black screen. "Oh god damnit." He growls, then he remembers, "Oh thank god I kept the flare gun. You don't need it, they said. You have the Echo Device, they said. Don't worry CL4P-TP where ever the fuck you are. I'll come looking for you to beat your face in once I fix my Echo Device." He aims the flare gun towards the air but a thought a comes to mind before he puts his finger on the trigger. *Wait. What happens if I fire it. Will I attract bandits, rouge personal, or the local fauna? I really don't have any ammunition to waste seeing how there's now way to replenish them without leaving myself vulnerable also because I really don't want it to fuck up my corporate weapons. Even if I do overcome that nothing can't be said about my armor & seeing how CL4P-TP is stranded & has those Relics in his storage deck unit. Gah this harder than I thought.* So he lowers it & looks around to see if he can come up with a plan. *I got it. I'll just bury myself & use my ghost to fire it for me so that I have the element of surprise if they are bandits, animals, or rouge personal. Luckily there was a dead tree near by with a couple of small boulders & goes over to it to check to find the tree completely hollow. So he snaps of the branches that will allow him breath underground. *Can't be too careful.* He digs in between the roots behind the tree, along with his ghost. Once the hole is his size he enters it, takes off his damaged helmet, puts on another helmet from his storage deck unit, & gives his ghost the flare gun & a command to bury him & to cover up their tracks. Once the ghost has completed its task, he takes control. He walks over to where the crater is & he finally aims the flare gun, fires, & tosses the gun aside. Jumps over to the boulder near where he's hiding, turns around & stays put. He waits for several seconds until he hears a buzzing sound that's similar to that of an insect. *Varkids? It can't be them, I thought they lived in the damp or cold places like Tundra Express or the Caustic Caverns.* Those thoughts are immediately thrown out the window when he turns to see what's creating the noise.

A Sphinx just sits around bored out her mind. *Nothing exciting happens now that I've been beaten at my own game,* she thought, *especially after that mare mysteriously disappeared & definitely is long gone. Now all I do is lounge around, nap, & eat. Goodness I hope I ain't getting fat.* As she was about go do the same damn thing an explosion startles her, causing jump with her fur & tail all raised up as if she had been electrocuted. *Raiders!* she quickly dismiss that thought, *Wait how can that be? I'm far away from the nearest settlement as it is. What can it possibly be? After that commotion everything is quite & the only the thing audible is the Sphinx's breathing & the howling wind outside. Grabbing few pieces of precious materials in case there's a trap already been set. Once she reaches the entrance she, ever so cautiously & hesitantly, throws a couple of gold coins to see if it's motion activate. Nothing, so exiting her home she looks all over the place to see a crater not so far from her entrance off to the left. She walks closer & tosses two more coins in the crater only be met with a sound of a metallic clang. This peaks her interest & upon getting closer she sees a weird thing/golem in the center along with scattered objects. It's roughly over 6 feet tall, has a yellow & black coloring scheme with bits of grey to it, & has unidentified objects attached to it.

"Interesting," she says out loud then smiling deviously, "I have seen anything like you before through out my entire life. Yes you'll make fine addition to my collection."

As soon as she gets closer to pick it up, it comes to life with his eyes glowing a neon blue while trying to get up but shuts down to save himself some power but not before sending out a distress signal to his partner to come find him. She jumps away thinking that it's going to attack her but is relieved when she finds that it's no longer moving after a full tense minute. After picking up the body of the unknown being she finds herself speechless upon closer inspection that it's a being made entirely out made & not somepony covered in armor. She picks up the gold coins she threw earlier she turns around & heads back inside thinking & chuckling to herself, *Well this is no longer another boring day of my life. Things are get interesting now.*

Author's Note

For those of you that haven't played the games of the Borderlands franchise, here's the overall summary of the first game.

Borderlands is a game where you play as a mercenaries that hunt the Vaults of a wiped out civilization eons ago.

The first game is where you get to play as Mordecai the Hunter, Roland the Soldier, Lilith the Siren, & Brick the Berserker when they riding a bus driven by Marcus. The story begins when they're dropped of the bus & are contacted by a mysterious figure called Angel. They get off the bus & into the settlement of fyerstone with the help of CL4P-TP unit to help the locals to earn their trust, specifically Dr. Zed, Helena Pierce, & Scooter. This CL4P-TP is mostly there as an Oblivion civilian until the DLC. They activate the fast travel, it's a mechanism that allows the player to 'teleport' to a region without either walking or driving there. After they enter the city of New Haven after killing the bandit lords, Sledge & Nine toes, while being contacted by Commedant Steele (BTW is also a Siren altough it's unclear what her powers are) of the Crimson Lance, about handing over the Vault fragment. Then the Vault Hunters are sent to the place of Patricia Tannis, a scientist chosen by the Dahl Corperation. After the 7 year winter ended, the local fauna began killing & eating the employees working there. Dahl sent a message to Patricia but she chooses to stay. The Atlas Corporation began to conquer the planet when they caught wind of another Vault on Pandora as well as to bully the Dahl Corperation.

Tannis slowly began to go insane when her teammates were killed by the local fauna, specifically skags as well as the heat/days of the Planet. Pandora has 90 hours of sunlight (this happens years before she meets the Vault Hunters). She deduces that the Vault opens every 200 years & that if she leaves now she'll never make it back in time but the key is stolen by a bandit lord. After obtaining the other parts from a bandit lords & a Rakk Hive, she tells that theirs is a fourth key part that Baron Flynt has which the Vault Hunters comply only to find out that after killing him there is no fourth key & Tannis wanted him dead. When they're about to go back they're contacted by Commedant Steele that Patricia Tannis was working the Atlas Corporation & the Vault Key & will disable the Echo-net. This leaves New Haven vunerable to bandit attacks. They go & inflintrate the Atlas Fast house where they find Patricia & reactivate the Echo-net & Fast travel. They head towards the location of the Vault when they that she has activated the key. They get there after fighting hordes of Eridian Guardians & Crimson Lance only to find that Steele has opened the Vault claiming that whatever is in there is rightfully theirs. But upon opening the Vault Commedant Steele is impaled by a tentacle & eaten. A blob of flesh known as the Destroyer, exits the portal attacks & kills the remaining Crimson Lance & it's the Vault Hunters to stop it. Angel informs them that although it's maybe immortal in its own realm it can be killed in this dimension. They succeed in pushing it back in the Vault, after that they vanish into the wastelands knowing the truth about the Vault. The ending shows Angel's face fading away from a camera lens of satellite belonging to the Hyperion Corporation.

The first DLC is where they go to a zombie island after getting a Echo message from the surviving Jakobs Munitions employees. They go around killing lycans & infected employees ordered by Dr. Ned. A CL4P-TP unit gets hacked by Marcus who warns them of Dr. Ned. Turns out after doing tasks for Dr. Ned (brother of Dr. Zed) is the reason of why the zombie out break occurred. The Vault Hunters kill him ending the zombie out break.

They get another Echo message from an Crimson Lance Assassin named Athena who promises them Loot, money, & guns too which they comply. They raid the Atlas Base to kill General Knoxx. Moxxi during this time opens a arena to see who comes out on top will be her next lover/date. She sends them out to kill her 1st ex husband who goes by the name Mr. Shank who also is at the same Atlas Base. His men capture Athena after Atlas payed them money to do so. When they come to rescue her turns out she enjoyed being locked up as the prisoners didn't do anything other paint her nails as well as talking about boys. After this they go out to kill General Knoxx who throughout the entire game play is telling the Vault Hunters to kill themselves so he can get off this shitty planet because of Corrupt Atlas is & because he's taking orders from the admiral who's a literal 6 year old child to which he quotes,

"Goddamn Nepotism."

Hyperion decides to reprogram the CL4P-TP unit to kill the other gun manufacturers, specifically the Vault Hunters, on the planet but it backfires horribly. One of them, specifically the one the player met from the beginning gains awareness of it's brethren are mistreated on thus sparks the Robo-Revolution. This makes every CL4P-TP unit on the planet to go on a Genocide run. The Vault Have come into contact with Mr. Blake a Hyperion secretary. Along with his help to shut down the Robo-Revolution & putting the CL4P-TP units back to normal. They manage to defeat & destroy the Inter Planetary Ninja Assassin before it can go to space as well as turning the first CL4P-TP back to normal.

Here are a information on the weapons manufacturers.

Chapter 1: Uncharted territory, not the first time.

When I looked towards the source of the buzzing I was mildly surprised & a bit confused to see what it was. For most people, it would have been shocking but I have seen stranger things before throughout my long life that would been dismissed as ones imagination. Granted, Patricia still doesn't believe that there is a multiverse & I'm just crazy as a Pyscho (she's not entirely wrong). Anyway the creatures or should I say inhabitants looked liked anthro bug horses approximately 100 to 300 of them if I were to guess. Yeah, let's go with that. Their chitin, I believe an insects skin is called, is a greyish black. They have holes in their arms as well on their wings but it can't be an injury seeing how fucking useless they'll be if they're out here in medieval style armor. They're armed with a double edge swords, spears, knives, & flint lock pistols this gives me an idea of how far they are in terms of weaponry. Now some of people will think that they're in a new place but I still think I'm on Pandora. Why, because after I came back with an organic body & not in a cybernetic one, I found out (Lilith & the gang told me) Sanctuary II was destroyed to stop a Flood infected Dahl soldier & his men. Apparently he & his platoon have been surviving in mine shaft all the way back when Dahl decided to cut their losses by abandoning everything & everyone on Pandora & Elpis leaving them to die. So theirs a possibility I'm just in an unmarked part on Pandora. They also have a horn above their large arctic blue eyes which have no pupils, like seriously why the fuck are their eyes that big? They also have fins on where the ear is supposed to be & a large one behind their heads. One of them however is visually different from the rest & towers the others by at least a foot? Hell, she's even taller than my ghost or better yet, looks like she's over 8 feet tall if being I'm honest (not including the horn). How do I know it's a she? Well their are a couple of assets on her chest. She has green eyes that have pupils similar to that of a cat, her horn is more crooked or jagged than the curved ones the others have, & also has green hair? It seems to be the leader or commander of the squad. I'm a go with queen or guard if their society or really if their entire species are built similar to a ant hive. It seems that they saw my flare signal I shot given how nervous they look around to who shot it.

"What?! There's nobody here!" She says with confusion in her tone.

Now this surprises me. I was expecting for some form of language barrier for me to over come but it seems that she can speak English fluently.

"There's blood here," one of them points out, "as well as footprints, a strange flint lock pistol, and some weird handles, something or someone was here but they are gone." This grabs her attention as she looks over to where I crash landed then sees the trail leading towards the boulder where I have my ghost sitting on.

"No they aren't gone they are hiding somewhere nearby. We can sense their emotions."

Uh-oh, that isn't good. She can't be a telepath seeing how I wearing something on me protecting my mind from individuals with telepathic abilities. I doubt she can even sense my heart beat like Daredevil can. I notice some of them looking directly at my Ghost as if they see it. But before they can say anything to their commander,

"Be on your guard & be prepared for an ambush!" As she walks closer to where I'm buried I decide that I'll reveal myself or rather my "Ghost" rather than have those tell her. So "I" jump off the boulder which startles her & the rest of her group as they watch in confusing & fear of whom or whatever is creating new footprints. After having a bit of fun scaring the rest of them I actually reveal it.

"What?!" She, along with the rest, step back in fear as it walks closer to them. Their's a shimmering effect on my Ghost can be fully visible. If you're wondering why it's only visible to me & not to others even though it's right in front of them. Well there are relatively two simple answers that I ain't giving out my secrets yet. However this makes the eyes of the inhabitants widen (except for the ones that have already seen it), as if they can't get any fucking bigger at this point. You know what, fuck it, I'll be gouging out one of their eyes to see how big are they if I can't find a book about their anatomy. Once it's visible to any other individual, the leader shrugged off the initial shock & says the cliched one liner,

"What in Tartarus are you?" Oh apparently Tartarus also exists here then. I don't have much time left, somewhere between 10 to 29 minutes before my ghost dissolves itself into nothing ness before I can even talk to them.

"それ。。。できます。。。そうではありません。。。いう。。。" Goddamn it, I should really practice more speaking through my Ghost more often also I'm not letting these guys know that I speak the same language as them. Ah, the cliché surprised speechless look when some strange looking being or thing talks or does something that a normal person can't comprehend. She shakes her head before her horn is surrounded by green aura. I notice in field of vision & look at my arms then body to see a green aura surround "me" momentarily before it fades away & I look back at at her. She looked shocked for the third fucking time. How many times are they/she gonna to repeat this.

"What?! How are you not affected by my magic!" So magic also exists here huh? Not good, so giving "orders" to my Ghost to knock out these guys so I can make a beeline towards the forest. I don't plan on killing these inhabitants, well unless I wanna be hunted down by the whole world. I already have enough people, governments, organizations, & corporations on my ass I don't need the population of these anthro bug horses added to the list or this world for that matter. It rushes towards her, once the distance between them is closed it pulls back a fist preparing to throw a punch. She along with the others see this & rush at my ghost. One of them manages to get front of their leader or commander in time to receive the blow instead of her knocking him out. After that it just stands there, this angers her & she shouts another cliché one liner.

"Seize it!!!" Okay that cues me to actually reveal myself to these guys by jumping out of my hiding spot.

~0o0o0o0o0o0o0~

Pov Chrysalis:

After one of my soldiers received the blow instead of me I became absolutely furious that this THING hurt one of my subjects. The rest of my soldiers rush to detain it, they just phase right through it. It's obviously isn't made of magic since only changeling magic can be used thanks to my throne but before I can do something myself, I hear something behind the boulder behind the thing as if something was digging out. That's when I realized there was another person with this thing. I thought it was strange when I sensed no bloodlust coming from this anomaly but when they revealed themselves, it was from someONE hiding! The ground erupts & revealing an individual dressed in black & white with 3 noticable features on itself. One its "head" looked to that of an actual insect with no eyes, second it has a large symbol of a spider on the front of it, & third it has a shimmering neon blue tails with red veins scattered on it. It is roughly shorter than my soldiers it's dressed in a greyish black jumpsuit with white lines as well as pockets & strange items on its hips. My soldiers notice the individual & rush to detain it as it runs toward the forest but it shouts something in the same language we heard earlier.

"再び幽霊!" and the thing that once stood still now is after them, ignoring the ones attacking it. It runs through & reaches for the one ahead throwing him towards the rest of the group causing to the rest to crash. As I'm charging my magic to subdue to creature itself & not the anomaly, me & my soldiers hear a slight *ping*. The creature turns around & throws a couple of small objects in front of us. This almost causes us to laugh when suddenly a loud bang & flash of white light blinds all of us which causes us to cry in pain & surprise. Once we regain our senses we discover that the anomaly as well as the creature has escaped into the woods.

"Let us return to our hive to tend our injured & warn the civilians of the upcoming danger that may come." As I say sadly as we head back towards the hive. I look up towards the sky with tears flowing out my eyes, I don't care if my soldiers see me like this, praying to the goddesses & gods that this creature doesn't tell wear we are hiding to the equestrians.

Pov ???:

After that little fiasco, I put a good distance between myself & my pursuers when I entered the woods. I managed to get away thanks my Ghost & the flash bangs I threw. The only problem is I have no idea where to go now. My Echo Device is non functional probably the wires are fucked up & my phone useless. My scanners aren't making a mini map because it has never seen this place, so far it's just making a trail similar to how a slug or snail would leave a trail of slime. One would think that world's technology would be better right? Nope I had to introduce them to that world to VR gaming, boy did they enjoyed it, epecially Zer0. I have few pieces of technology from Earth to help me pass the time when traveling through space. I may be somewhat old but I still enjoy music, games, & anime. I'll just wait for the sun to set so I'll know which way is north until then I'll just keep walking. I remove my helmet & mask to put in my earbuds to listen to a playlist dedicated to Hiroyuki Sawano, JT Music & Samuel Kim to help pass the time.

~0o0o0o0o0o0o0~

The sun still hasn't gone down. It's just being still in exact same spot for the past 5 & 1/2 hours. I listened to all my playlists. The events that happened next would have indused fear in any normal person but dealt/seen with worse & told me that I'm no longer on Pandora. The sun just took a fucking nose dive towards the ground off in the distance then slowly the moon came out in its place like if it did a transformation. Now I'm no physicist but I'm pretty damn sure that this damn fucking planet would have been destroyed by the gravitational pull of the yellow sun if it did that. The moon also looks different the last time I remembered it.

a.) It's either shrunk or got pushed farther away which isn't possible seeing how Tyreen made Elpis nearly fucking crash into Pandora.
b.) There are no visible cracks of lava created by Dahl.
c.) There's no picture of a hawk made by Lilith when she sacrificed herself.

Realizing that using the celestial bodies to help guide me is going to pointless as wandering around until I find somebody out here. After I get on a tree, I summon my ghost again but this time it's arms morph into wings. Why didn't I do this earlier? Simple, it leaves me vulnerable if I see through its perspective & no I can't tell it to tell me what it saw since these things can't talk, follow commands given by the user or their own will, & only repeat what you said earlier. For example, 'Why can't they take a hint.' or 'What did I forget?', just simple phrases.

As it goes higher & higher to the altitude of a Peregrine Falcon I notice a trail of clouds being formed near the ground of in the distance, "I" go towards that direction to investigate. Upon getting closer I see what's creating them & the last time I saw one of these vehicles was in one those old movies or documentaries.

A steam engine by the side of a cliff where my ghost is so I have watch that drop not to fall to my death. But that wasn't my concern right now seeing how the train looked so fucking ridiculous that I lost my concentration from laughing my ass off. Like seriously it looks like something Tiny Tina would've made in her spare time or if she got her hands on a Hyperion train when I first met her years ago, she probably still might do it. Now that I know where the train tracks are, I jump off the branch & head towards the direction where my ghost went. I'm still a bit wary of this forest due to the fact I have not seen any form of wild life as of yet.

Chapter 2: Progress? If you can even call it that.

It took 4 hours but I made it to rail road track, especially climbing down from that drop. I don't remember where the train wad heading but I'll just take a gamble choose right. If it takes to long I'll just wait (again) for the train come by just hitch a ride let it take me to nearest settlement, like in every cliché situation that involves a train. It's not all bad though, the view of the sky during the night is beautiful. Kinda relaxing without worrying about getting rushed, shot, captured, eaten & stabbed by Psychos, Marauders, Nomads, Hyperion, Maliwan, CoV's, Scav's, Kragons, military personnel, government agents, skags, spider ants, threshers, crab worms, villains, heros, other mercenaries, mutants, cyborgs, supernatural entities, spies, Varkids, meth heads, birds & weebs.

The peacefulness is disrupted by the chugging & whistling of a steam train. (For reference, watch the Krieg announcement trailer.) Jumping a couple of feet from train tracks & looking into the front of the train, I saw another equine looking-being conducting the train.

"Look where you're standing at you moron!" He shouts at me or I guess what it means. What they actually said was,

"Κοίτα πού είσαι, ηλίθιος!"

To be fair I wasn't paying attention, so I'll give him that. I hope those bug equines I fought earlier didn't already sent out a message to hunt me down. Not even a full week & I'm already being labeled as a terrorist, their government is going to really love me. It looks even more retarded up close, I'm guessing that who ever made the design is a literal 6 year old child or an adult with a mind of a child.

After waiting for the train to pass so I can hitch a ride like a leech, I jump on the caboose so my lazy ass don't have to walk. These guys still use oil based lanterns? This place is throwing me off more & more I observe it. Eh, doesn't matter if I observe it, I'm just gonna go to the nearest settlement, steal a map, leave/hide, fix my Echo Device, find CL4P-TP, fix him if he isn't broken, & find a way off this planet to return to Sanctuary. Sounds pretty simple, right? Wrong, nothing is ever simple. I just know something is going to go wrong. Speaking of CL4P-TP, I wonder how's he doing, probably in stasis after our crash. Very high chance that he crashed badly to the point where he shut down to preserve himself.

"Hmmmm. I wonder who or what created you as well as for your 'equipment'. You're built like a golem but I don't sense any form of magic used to hold you together nor bulky & your pieces are so complex that even I don't understand it. I fear those who have built you for whatever reason."

Unbeknownst to the Sphinx although CL4P-TP is unresponsive he able to record what of what's happening around him & is able to see everything as well. (Think of it like those people in those YouTube videos where they're in a coma & claim to hear everything.)

*Wow! What a hottie! If I had an actual organic body I'd be popping a boner right about now!*

Yeah I'm going to find him so these motherfuckers don't destroy him to "state" their curiosity. I hear footsteps approaching the door so I camofluoge myself like Risotto Nero, Predator, or Susan Storm.
Thank goodness my jumpsuit had traces of Iron in it or else this wouldn't been possible (sometimes it's the Klyntar as well but I try not use much). I wait for whomever is about to open the door & what do you know it's another anthro equine. They're attire is similar to that of ticket collector from the movie; what was it called, ah Polar Express. They, or rather he due to "his" body build, open the door to come outside to whatever they come to do & I slip by them to enter. So I wait a bit for finish up whatever they're doing so I can change my clothes. If I'm going to blend in might as well not stick out like a sore thumb.

I have to be careful not leave any- goddamn it. I remembered that I just left my blood back at those bug equines. I hope that they don't collect samples of it & try to weaponize it. Now I have to be really careful of not leaving anything that may indirectly cause an pandemic similar to that of the Spanish Flu or Black Plague. I was so busy worrying about that I haven't even noticed the horse person go past me to enter the other cars. Now that I'm "alone", I take off my jumpsuit, my body is soon consumed by writhing mass of a white fleshy substance, soon my body is now covered by black jeans, a light grey collared t-shirt, polyester gloves, tan trench coat, a utility belt, & a black cap. Nothing I can do for my kagune but hopefully I can trick to whomever asks what it is into believing that's a tail. After that's done I remove my helm & mask to look at the window on the door & I see my "face's" reflection. I trace my hand over the metallic parts on my face. Breath in, -sigh-

"I look like one of the characters from Bloodborne, now all need is the mark", I tell myself. This gets a light chuckle out, this would have been impressive if I wasn't so short. So once that's done, I also have books but I choose to pull out another electronic device to help pass the time. I quickly look over folders & click on one of them. It's been a while since I saw this, I turn on my earphones so I don't alert anybody that I'm here.

In after every ending of the episode, I check to see if the sun has risen. After the 2nd one I look outside through the window & see that the train is no longer in the forest & the morning has already passed & looked like it was about to be noon. I open, more like break the door to get off & land on the rails. Turning around is that there's a town off in the distance walk towards it.

Upon getting closer I notice the town looked like that of a western from the mid 1880's. I see a path a bit to my right & walk on to not raise any suspicion of a strange person walking on the tracks. As I near the entrance of the town I see more of those anthro equines as well as bison in market of sorts. Some look like your typical furry anthro but their eyes are that of an anime character & fur were like as to whom or whatever created it got the color coordination from the Skittles candy. But that was least of my attention where the others had wings attached to their backs but looked they were too small to carry them. The same could be said for the bee but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they're just for show. The activity of the market place dies once they do actually notice me & they're all whispering to one other & I can pretty much have an educated guess on what they're saying.

I sense someone approaching towards the left of me, so to act "normal" I ignore my sense. They put their hand on my shoulder & I turn around to face them & boy is he tall. I'm 5'7 he's nearly 7 feet tall. He has decent body build & his attire is that of typical Western sheriff, like he even has the star badge to go along with it as a mustache. I place my hand on my head then reach up with the same hand to measure him to myself. This action confuses him (if his face anything to go by) & says,

"Me synchoreíte, kýrie? Allá tha boroúsate na mou peíte giatí ntytheíte étsi?"

"I'm sorry?"

He becomes more confused. So I decide to play some charades to see of he can understand my "situation". Putting one open hand in front of me while the other in front of it as if I had pencil, then proceeded to make a writing motion. He seemed to get the general idea so he motions towards me to follow him. After that, the market place is soon once again bustling. We head towards a small building that has a "gold" star symbolizing that this is the sheriff's department. Nothing to special, there's even a jail cell in front of the desk. But there's a lot of mattresses piled next to it with holes.

"Syngnómi gia ta strómata, ítan gia papoútsia me provlímata, allá ta katéstrepse akoúsia," he turns around to look at me & then sighing, "Sostá den boreís na me kataláveis."

Oproaching the desk, opening the drawer, then pulling out paper &- is that quill? Have they even invented the ball point pen yet? Anyway after he hands me the items I begin to draw a classic map used in cartoons. After that's done he turn towards him & he's confused. So pointing a finger (which caused him to slightly flinch) at him then at the drawing then towards myself. The realization gets him as he looks around until he finds a rolled up piece of paper. He hands me it but before he can say anything (not like I understand him to begin with) the entrance bursts open. This one has the same clothing as the one helping me but the difference is that his vest is brown not blue, doesn't have a mustache & his body is leaner but still has muscle on him. Oh, his left arm is in a cast, the color of his hair is golden brown like that of bread & his fur is a tan sand color. He notices me but I turn my attention back towards the map ignoring what they're about disscus.

"O, o! Ypárchei énas agónas sto bar kai chreiazómaste ti voítheiá sas!"

I hear him sigh, "óchi xaná" with that they run out, leaving me alone in the building. Now I could take this opportunity to steal the map & leave but that'll make me deeper in the shit hole more than I already am. So to make sure no one is looking or nearby I pull out my spider ant helm to scan the map it'll probably take like 2 to 4 finish so whipping out my phone I take a couple of pictures then put away. After the scan is completed I put it away as well & I sit down on one of the chairs & wait for the sheriff to return. Upon closer inspection the writing looks familiar to me like a language I've seen before back on Earth but where. Probably will hit me like bullet train when I will see a familiar letter or symbol making me recognize the language.

Ten minutes earlier
Pov: ???

I spot an unusual creature with twin shiney neon blue tails enter the market place & hopefully he'll make a decent meal. I smile inwardly at the thought of a full stomach, sure I can eat solids but pony food can do only so much. Ever since the introduction of our species towards the rest of the world everyone around me is been suspicious lately & don't blame them. I haven't been able to fest on their positive emotions properly without giving my self away. The sheriff walks up to confront him, so I plan how to lure him from the town when it gets darker & coco-

"I'm sorry?"

My heart rate dropped. That shouldn't be possible, h-h-how does he know our language?! He can't be a changeling from our hive but why would they disguise themselves as a creature no one has seen before. After purchasing a the ingredients I trail the new creature that seemed to willing to follow the sheriff. I silently pray to the gods & goddesses that my house is in the same the direction of the sheriff's department. I haven't been this nervous since the day that one of the elements of harmony came to visit this town yesterday.

I try not show too much interest in the creature to not raise any suspicion towards me. I begin to head towards my house after they the building.

Pov: our main protagonist

After 7 minutes the horse with the cast that took the sheriff returns from whatever he was needed for with a surprised look on his face giving me the idea that they thought I would bail & run on them. I don't blame him. I get up from the chair to when he looks at me & point towards the map while using my other hand to give a thumbs up. Walking past him I stop by the entrance & turn around too wave him goodbye & he returns it albeit confused & hesitantly. With that I exit the building & wander the place until I find the train station or hear the train.

Looking around I saw that there are saloon, bar, barbershops, clothing, etc. . . I see a few horses out side with art supplies drawing they stop & look at me whispering to each other. All 9 children/teens? except for one where they just gasp & began sketching quickly & looking at both me & their art board. Once they stop they wipe their forhead in an comedic cartoon way & began to show off their art work to the other kids. They gasp in amazement or surprise at the drawing & they all rush inside the building. Walking once again. After a couple minutes of wandering around I found the train station. There's stuff on the billboard with but ignored it knowing how that the writing will just confuse me even further.

Looking at the map (again) trace the train tracks leading towards a forest from where I hitched a ride leading to this town. No of the shops have any useful items to help repair Echo Device so I'm hoping that the next town will. So descending down the stairs & on to the dirt road I head out once again.

Author's Note

Sorry for the delay I to get ready for finals & Graduation.

Chapter 3: Everfree

When I saw the bridge on the map I was thinking it would be several feet of the river or stream not above a fucking canyon. My mind is still going over the fact on how the bridge hasn't even fallen yet. Their are no support beams except on both ends but that's about it. Maintenance on this is gonna be one absolute bitch but most likely there are runes etched on the materials to protect them from the elements & animals or they've been enchanted by magic. Speaking of magic that type the leader demonstrated wasn't familiar to the ones I do & seen. The light begins to fade indicating that the dusk upon me & I look up at the sky to see the sun once again doing the day the bomb. I really hope their are gods or goddesses here but judging from how the sun & moon is doing that, something tells me that their aren't. I see another forest up ahead on the right side supporting the map I scanned from that western town earlier. The difference between this forest & the one I escaped into earlier was this is one more lush in vegetation & had a more colorful appearance as if it was alive itself.

Pushing that thought aside, I hope that there are animals this time absorbing the clothes I was wearing, my body is now covered in a white metallic sheen to it, as well as splitting my kagune into two, I run into the forest looking for nutrition.

Apart that their are creatures from Greek Mythology, the animals are awfully similar to the ones on Earth. You have Grey Squirrels, Chipmunks, Cardinals, Blue Jays, Chickadees, Robins, Mockingbirds, Great Horned Owls, European, American, Eastern Cottontails, Florida Whites. . .

you get the idea.

After catching & killing several rabbits I feel satisfied yet disturbed. When I first killed one from the fluffle, I never saw so much raw emotion coming from an animal. Before I could even take a bite I turned my head towards the direction of the fluffle where they should've run off, nope they're still there. I mean yes animals can express themselves but not like a human can. The looks of absolute horror plastered on their tiny faces when they saw me maim & devour one of their kind. I decided to test that if only the rabbits & yup the other forest critters expressed similar degrees of horror on them, hell even one of them had to drag another from me when one of them passed out from shock. PETA is going to have one hell of a stroke if they ever found out about this. FL-4K might like to capture the Hydra while Krieg or Salvador, possibly Brick, will try to see how it tastes like. Speaking of which, I wonder how they're going to find us. The only lead they have is the voicemail I made before I started verbally & physically hitting CL4P-TP. I turn around to face the manticore that thought it could get the jump on me. This looks different from the ones from I fought & killed before.

1.) It has more broader shoulders
2.) It's face is more elongated face like a cartoon
3.) Its wings are way too fucking small
4.) It has a surprised look on its face

Shaking off the surprise that it got caught so easily it pounces. I don't anything to retaliate. I'm brought to the floor & it stops mid swipe when it notices my grin. Now most people would have a cliche needle like or trianglular teeth like that of a shark or canines to intimidate others but I always go for the flat square teeth. So tell me which is worse being stabbed or crushed? It jumps off me & backs away In fear. This gets a chuckle but when I'm in this, it comes out distorted like I was gurgling.

"Here's a tip, don't approach anything or anyone that wants to be eaten because you don't know what they have."

With that I leap towards the manticore with the intent of killing it, can't have witnesses. Now for those of you thinking 'why did you kill it if it knew you were not worth it?' simple, paranoia. If Squirrel Girl can use her squirrels as spies it isn't too far fetched that one of these horses can communicate with these with either mind magic or telepathically. The map showed a town built next to this forest which I thought was normal but seeing how there are hydras, cockatrices (granted looked more friendly but still deadly), & manticores. But I'm not gonna question it seeing how they have magic to protect themselves. Speaking of questions, why is that I could understand the bug anthro horses but not the "normal" anthro ones. I gotta stop calling them horses because it may or will be the equivalent of calling a human female a whore. I was totally expecting a language barrier for me to over come but hopefully they may help me if I don't dress as Zer0.

Pov shift: Angel

Angel is running through the forest covered in blood of his former "friend". He didn't know what that thing was but all he knows is that he must escape the forest as fast his little feet can carry him.

*I knew shouldn't have listened to her! Go out & make some friends she said it'll be worth it she said. Fuck that! I value my life over friendship.

Angel can see her house from here, the lights are still on, good, he reaches the door right before he collapses catching his breath. He crawls toward the door with shred of will power.

*She must KNOW!*, he thought.

He begins to pound on the door but it's difficult due how he's tired & his paws are less than a size of an avocado seed. Luckily the door practically nears gets torn off its hinges after the second knock.

"Angel Bunny! I have be-OH MY GOODNESS WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?! She screeches when noticing the state of Angel is in. She scoops him up before slamming & sets him on the couch. Harry the bear is there but was about give Angel a glare until he saw the state he is in. Fluttershy rushes upstairs to grab the first aid kit specifically for Angel Bunny. After returning at the speed that would Pinke Pie proud she quickly patches Angel. But pauses that the blood on him isn't his but rather somecreature else's. She's used to seeing blood since she helps the animals, specifically the mammals giving birth.

"W-w-what happened?" She stammers. Angel, as much his tiny little body can muster & begins his tale.

It went down relatively the same he went due to Fluttershy forc- encouraging him to go out to make some friends which went surprisingly well. He meet a fluffle of bunnies they got along quite well. So they showed him there favorite spots in the Everfree where most predators don't prowl. But however when night rolled around they decided to let him stay for the at their place. That's when a halfway across their destination they stopped. Their hear something coming towards their direction from the left. When they were about to hide & a bipedal creature emerged from the bushes impaling one of the female bunnies with its hands. It was huge! possibly taller than luna herself. It had no ears, eyes, mouth, nose, was wearing a belt of some kind, & hair all over its body. Its skin? had a metallic or ivory sheen to it like it was made of silver. We all back away in fear, then to our horror, a thin gap began forming then it spread across it face revealing a mouth full of incisors which was off putting since they were expecting a set of needle like teeth.

That's not was the worst part, the worst part was when the bunny impaled was still alive, it was like this thing knew where to hit without actually killing them. It was going to take a bite out her but it suddenly stopped halfway. Despite not having any eyes, we could tell it was examining us. It threw her corpse at us then that's when Tartarus broke loose. It impaled two with before grabbing another its hand crushing them.

Once he's done, he looks up at Fluttershy's face to see there reaction, her face is full of confliction. It makes sense seeing that she is the element of kindness trying to figure out this creature's motives.

"Oh, I don't know what to do. I can't tell Twilight about this she'll either try to contain it herself for research or send message celestia about it. Luna is out the question she'll more than likely. . . kill it."

She shivers once that word comes out her mouth. She understands that the carnivores need meat but the way Angel described it made it sound like it had more sentience than the other animals. She decides to gamble & tell Twilight as well as Zecora in the morning seeing how it's almost midnight. She switches clothes because she doesn't want to have another panic attack, the last time she went to went to town covered in blood, it didn't go so well. After that she picked up Angel & took him towards their room so that she will comfort him.

Pov shift:

Did some more exploring of the forest found an "abandoned" castle. The reason I finger quoted that was because 100% of the time there's gonna be something or someone living there. Pulling out & putting on my helm I can now do a scan once I enter the castle. After changing my appearance to the time when I first 'made contact with the locals' & jumping (yes I jumped it, you think that rotting bridge is gonna support my weight?) the castle is giving me some Dark Souls & Bloodborne vibes but the exterior only had that effect, the inside was well relatively normal as far as "abandoned" castles go. Upon entering I sense something but really can't put my finger on it. It's trying to escape but something is preventing it from leaving this place. It can't be demon seeing how it doesn't feel like one. Perhaps a vengeful spirit? Probably. Dusty rooms, furniture, worn out banners/books, rotting pieces of wood, moss, vines, mold, grass, insects, arachnids, creaky noises, & cobwebs. Venturing deeper into the building I found a room littered with gold, silver, & jewels. I stood there debating whether or not it's a fucking trap. Obviously I need the money of this world but the fact their this much is sitting here means,

A.) This was stolen & if this true I don't use it because it'll raise questions on where I got it & that get me deeper in the shithole than I'm already in.
B.) Something lives here & is using the valuables as bait similar to that of an Angler fish.
C.) It could be made of the items from the victims just like how the Nazis took & melted the Jews valuables hence the term "blood money".
D.) It really is just a pile of valuables just sitting there & I'm over thinking this too much.

So biting the bullet I extended my claws out not before removing my helmet again & putting it away because I don't have the resources to fix it. So I create a pouch (roughly the size of a pencil pouch) walk towards the pile & got a handful. I waited for several seconds to see if anything happens. Nothing, good, now I begin stuffing my pouch with valuables. Once that's done I close the pouch & put it in the storage deck unit. I turn around & exit the room to explore the rest of the castle. The rest of the place was relatively the same, found a couple of kitchens, one of them had a hole on the floor which drops straight down into a river. Rats or mice are here, obviously, but ran away upon seeing me which isn't helping my paranoia what so ever. Found several libraries but didn't bother to even read them seeing how if I can't even understand the inhabitants what makes me think that that I'll have a chance reading their language.

Found a study room but what put me off was that along with the hallway & throne room they weren't as dirty or over come by the local flora. That means one thing someone tried to retake this place but we're driven out by the forest critters or given up for someone else to try, so temporarily living here is out the window. Speaking of windows their are a couple of them showing the sun & moon. Don't want to have any unnecessary "accidents" happening here. There is also a comic book lying on a small pillar but is covered in dust seeing how it was just left there. My comic geek activates inside of me.

"Heh. Looks like these guys have comic books wonder the cover art looks like."

The art cover shows a female anthro equine with a body that'll give Moxxi a run for her money & most supermodels seethe in jealousy, she's wearing a purple spandex suit with traces of yellow & green hair waving around her like snakes. My mind goes back of Yukako, Medusa, Kars & especially when I fought Scream on several occasions making me pause. Shaking my head from that memory I look at the rest of the art but couldn't help but be confused. Their was almost no writing on the cover where it should have been for example the title, price, & description.

"Is this supposed be some sort of fucking joke?" I say out loud.

Skimming through the pages to see if there is any writing & nope nothing just empty text bubbles, this confuses me greatly. However on the last page there is writing but it to small for me to read. Turning around I feel something being pushed by my foot & look down to see a magnifying glass.

"How convenient."

So picking it up & cleaning it from the dust I use it to read the writing. But I slightly frown when it's in the same language as before back when I looked at the map.

"Oh well it was worth a shot."

I close the comic & put magnifying glass down & was preparing to leave that's when it began to glow. Slightly panicking I tried to throw it but my left hand slowly began to be absorbed into the comic as if was about to be transported once again.

"Oh for fuck sakes! Not this bullshit again." Then left my leg & kagunes are being absorbed, quickly thinking I create an ice spear to help me get a grip by impaling it into the ground but apparently I put too much force in it causing it to crack. "Don't you da-" I was cut mid sentence when it snapped in half causing me to lose both my footing & grip allowing the comic to finally absorb me. With that I shout "GODDAMN IT!!!" I get pulled transported to another place under the span of 3 days.
