(A/n, If your nee to Borderlands, there is something you should know. The timeline of the history and lore of Borderlands is one big mess. So to determine details is rather difficult and is more open to individual opinion and interpretation. Though i tried being as accurate as possible. Additionally, if you happen to see mistakes regarding system, Space and Time power uses thats because the chapters up to The Destroyer fight is from a past version of the fic that is reworked due to how dissatisfied i was with it. Hence i made it more natural reincarnation then wishe fulfilment. There will be new chapters and additions so it isnt just a repeat of the past version all the way through.)
Anyway, after my warning to Claptrap, he certainly now will remember to not mention my family in a bad way.
"I won't spare his life next time summer Angel?" I said, knowing full well of her namesake, and something i once called her which was cringy.
But it got the point across of who I was even with my gear on and my voice, which I slightly chabged back to my original.
"W-wait what? Raime?!" She exclaimed in shock.
The last time we spoke was more than two earth months ago when i said I was preparing my departure from Aurix-9.
I never specifically told her what I was going to do or go, nor my reasons.
It was one of the possible work around i theorise would work on her collar. But even if I was wrong, Lyra would inform me of anything if my family was in danger.
If Angel has a suspicion. But no genuine guarantee belief that she is right, technically she never has to report it, since she is still trying to ascertain if the information is true.
So unless she sees my face beneath the helmet, I could claim to be Raime, and her collar wont command her to report to Jack that I'm Raime, but am actually Ghost with my real identity still 'unknown'.
For example, if Jack asked 'what is he?' Like how he asked about who Zer0 is, then she would have to give her suspicions and ideas. But if he asks 'who is he?' Then Angel by all accounts - 'does not know'. Hence she never has to say the truth, because she isn't, she is saying a lie i could have given or a possible belief of hers.
After a few quick exchanges with Angel, I had vaguely hinted all off this in a ambiguous type of way, and she being as smart as she is right now definitely understood my wording.
And since she directly called out my name, that means John isn't in the room with her at the moment nor are there surveillance cameras. Thats very informative indeed.
Angel decided to continue along with her assignment to guide the Vault Hunters, now me included.
"*ahem* Uh, you should follow the little robot for now. Do everything he says. I-I'll contact you again shortly..." She stumbled over her words but continued normally, definitely still trying to compose herself.
Angel had wasted no time in cutting of the Siren Telepathy ability she had used.
All Sirens can use Siren Telepathy to communicate with one another or with other non-Siren individuals which Angel, Lilith and Tannis all uses throught the multiple games during times when they are either captured and can't use an Echo device.
Or are meeting a person for the first time, much like how Lilith used Siren Telepathy to communicate with Zane, Fl4k and Moze for the first time. Amara is different since she is a Siren as well.
Angel had only talked to Roland and the gang except for me before since I has no background on myself which Angel could trace and thus Angel doesn't know of me and I i was a possible Vault Hunter candidate, until I subtly told her, but for now that is what she is 100% guaranteed on.
However, now that she knows, she decided to communicate with me as per her directives.
Angel also failed to mask her emotions and her quiet stuttering.
I could feel her excitememt and embarrassment but happiness that it was me she could talk to.
Back to the Vault Hunters, I followed and provided covering fire for the group as they proceeded into Fyrestone.
After dealing with the last of the Bandits, thanks to mine and Mordecai's covering fire, Roland's military skills and Sabre Turret, Lilith's powers and Bricks Shotgun and pure muscle strength, Angle had contacted us again.
"Excellent! I knew you were the right choice friend, friend. Now go. I'll contact you again soon." She said to all of us, as i recall her saying this in the cannon story timeline.
Angel was very eager to interact with others due to her isolation, so having the chance to have more friends excited her.
She never had any friends in the cannon and in Borderlands 3. The Player can find a drawing of Angel and the the four original Vault Hunters on the drawing. On the picture it said "New Friends".
The picture was located in the same room that the Hyperion Turret that Angel had accidentally activated to kill the Bandit but also her Mother as well in the process due to an emotional outburst she had.
The picture HAD to be drawn around this time since she had just met me and the others right now. Since she is 13 years old right now, making a child drawing is only natural when you're alone.
I parkored down to them from my position.
"Hello. You must be Ghost. Thanks for providing assistance earlier." Roland greeted me.
I was considering being the silent type, but that would ruin th chance to form a connection and relationship with them to not do ot early on. I guess ill be the silent type for enemies.
"It was no problem at all. You had helped me out since I didn't have much protection with me to take them all on at the moment." That was most definitely a lie.
"So, you all are Vault Hunters? I wasn't much interested in Vault Hunting since its a fool's mission to go it alone, but now..." I said but Lilith continued my words for me.
"...But now you want to join us in searching for the Vault?"
I just nodded my head.
They thought about it and all turned to Roland for the decision, as he did stand out like the leader type, especially given his military past.
They all silently accepted me into joining with them since I had helped them out earlier and didn't kill them, since I could have have easily.
"We're happy to have you join with us soilder." Roland said as he extended his hand to me.
I grasped his hand as we shook each others once we had a firm hold.
After that Brick just patted me...really hard...enough that I was slightly off balenced as he roared mightily.
"Haha! Another one to bust some heads with! I like it! Name's Brick!"
"You can call me Ghost."
"Ghost...I assume your not going to tell your real name?" Mordecai inquired from the side.
"At one point I will. Not that I don't trust you all, but it is more for other reasons I'd rather not disclose yet."
"That's understandable." Roland said.
Lilith, Roland and Mordecai gave their names too, but I already knew them. They walked away while me and Mirdecai lagged behind the others as we followed Claptrap. Brick was just ahead of us.
Bloodwing landed on my shoulder and I stoked her chest. She definitely enjoyed it.
"So...where'd you get the sniper from?" Mordecai asked as he eyed my rifle which I still held.
"Oh you mean this baby. She isn't exactly a sniper, but i do have a specific sniper as well, but it's still good. How about a bet?"
"About and what for?"
"The Sniper i mentioned against Bloodwing. Whoever can get more headshots and Bullseyes."
"CAW CAW!!!"
Bloodwing took it as a challenge and looked ready to prove herself to me and Mordecai.
Speaking of which, why did she react so positively with me so quickly? We had only just met and she landed on me and ket me stroke her.
"Seems like Blood wants a piece of the action? Alright then. Don't cry yourself at night when Blood claims her prize." The master Sniper arrogantly proclaimed.
Mordecai just grinned. I knew what that meant. He was defintly not going to forget and will remind me of the challenge later for it, like how he had beaten Zer0 for his sniper.
He can try all he wants, he nor Bloodwing ain't winning shit against me!
