I watched as Claptrap annoyed the Hell out of the group of Vault Hunters.
Unlike the game, all of them had an Echo device already. Claptrap giving an Echo device to the player is just for introductions and whatnot.
Why would four of some of the most battle hardened Vault Hunters and beings on Pandora and a Siren who had the potential to be as powerful as an entire Galaxy, not have an Echo device for more then 20 years.
All of them are 20 to 30 years old as of this moment, while Mordecai is the oldest being 32 years old. As for the others, Lilith is 20, Roland is 27 and Brick is 29 as of the current timeline. I didn't want to reveal myself to quickly so i used my voice modulator to mask my voice.
Another very neat thing is that i can soundproof my helmet, as in i can shout at the top of my lungs and not even a peep will be heard from someone standing next to me.
This way I can have private conversations within my helmet and everyone will assume I am the silent type that doesn't speak.
I watched the Vault Hunters from the roof of the Fyrestone Motel as they followed Claptrap.
They also didn't go to the New-U station since they don't exist. Why would they? If they did, Roland would still be alive and would just respawn at a nearby New-U station.
I mean...why would Jack allow Hyperion New-U stations to revive the player?
It was just a game mechanic to explain how you revive in game at a checkpoint.
I was still invisible as I trailed the rooftops and vantage points above them.
Having quickly following after them by going up ahead to a high vantage point. I repositioned to a watchtower just above Zed's place and slit the throat of the Bandit there.
I laid his body down gently so no noise would be made as a result of his body falling down and impacting with the metal platform we were on. I didn't decapitate his head since his head would then fall as well.
I aimed down my sniper's scope
(A/n His Modular Assault Rifle when it enters precision mode is essentially a sniper, its still the same weapon just cab switch functions at any time. And the Nanomachines specific to certain areas of the gun self modify, such as changing the scope or length of the barrel or even muzzle)
Moments later I heard the Bandit Outrunner vehicles drive into Fyrestone and watched as they wreaked chaos as they pelted everything with wild gunfire.
I killed a few of them with simple headshots and had them crash into areas seemingly at random.
Although it wasn't random.
I had made sure to use a silencer and shot the driver in a way they would crash exactly where I wanted them to so that no buildings with the civilian inhabitants of Fyrestone would be destroyed and as a result possibly be killed.
I head Mordecai sniper at work and the caws of Bloodwing. I wasn't there, but I can tell that Mordecai must have shot first from a distance to provide covering fire so that the others can get in close for a better shot.
Roland was the second to shoot with his assault rifle.
I can hear a fast fire rate from what could be Lilith SMG and Brick's yelling.
I literally saw a round object fly from their position to the center of Fyrestone.
Holy shit!
That was a head!
Brick you absolute Savage!
Eventually I saw them in the backway into Fyrestone.
I took a few shots to help them out.
They put themselves on guard and hid behind cover upon instinct.
"Sniper!" Lilith shouted to the rest as she took cover.
"Mordecai! Can you tell where he is!?" Roland asked.
"I can't. He's on one of the towers." Said Mordecai as he made sure Bloodwing didn't fly off, thinking I was an enemy that would shoot the good bird.
Since all the Bandits there were dealt with, Claptrap went out into the open without a care in the world.
"Oh! You must mean Ghost. Great guy. He's been helping around here for about a week now. I met him few hours ago, said he was a Vault Hunter like you guys...but he's wayyyy moody...er then you guys. I think he has family problems? He migh-" Claptrap nonchalantly said as he rolled by everyone whom was still hiding.
I was debating on just ending the robot's life here and now as a favour for Jack. And so I raised my weapon and rook aim at the robot.
"Please! I need you to stay calm! Dont be alarmed, I am your guide. You don't have any reason to trust me, but I need you to believe that I am here to guide you. I'm here to help you find the Vault. Whatever offense that the funny little robot may have meant by those words, I hope you can forgive him, but you will need him on your journey-" Angel said inside my head before being cut off.
*Bang*
Before Angel can finish her Siren Telepathy power thinggy with me, I fired a shot at Claptrap's location...
I didn't actually kill him, but I did fire at the ground next to him.
"I think he didn't like you mentioning his family?" Mordecai spoke as he petted Bloodwing.
"No kidding..." Brick added in.
I stood up to reveal myself to them and gave a small wave before re-entering my Invisibility mode.
Damn I was edgy as he'll at that moment and I loved it!
As for the Vault Hunters reactions.
Mordecai and Brick were the more easy going ones.
Modecai's background is not very well known. He was born on the planet Artemis, has a older sibling, and won a interplanetary sharpshooter competition at the age of 17 using only a revolver, which angered the competitors that accused him of unsportmanlike conduct.
He currently travels from planet to planet for essentially money and a better gun.
Roland was a former sergeant of Atlas' military, but has since defected and stole a Scorpio turret which he modified into his current one.
Being part of Atlas' forces, which is known for being the strongest at the time, Roland outclassed everyone in his military experience, which is why he would become the future leader of the Crimson Raiders.
Brick is the only one that doesn't have any information on his past. Though his strength and body build was not unborn but a result of a experimental compound as it was teased at one point. He is originally from the planet Menoetius. His first dog Priscilla had died since he wears the paw of Priscilla around his neck.
As for Lilith, she was a little hard to be friends with considering her childhood. She is essentially the defacto main protagonist of the franchise and hence has some more in depth background.
She lived with her dad until he had died for unknown reasons when Lilith was roughly 7 or a teen.
That was when The Eldest, the previous PhaseWalk Siren had met her and told Lilith of the Sirens briefly before she collapsed and died on the spot.
Thus her powers transfered to Lilith and made Lilith the new and current PhaseWalk Siren.
Lilith would grow up and get bullied for her having her blue Tattoos, which please the idiot bullies didn't realise she is one of a 7..or 8, if you include me and not Troy since he is a Parasite Siren, most powerful beings in the Universe.
Also she was bullied for her being a geek for fantasy and the game "Bunkers & Badassas". It was basically the Borderlands version of "Dungeons & Dragons".
