Author's Note: Hey, so this is basically a sequel I wrote to the Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep DLC because I thought, wouldn't the other six Vault Hunters who were interrogating the Hyperion informant want to play the game too? Anyway this is how I figured it would go. Hope you like it! I don't own Borderlands.
P.S. I'm still pretty new to the whole writing thing so any constructive criticism would be appreciated.
"ROLL FOR INITIATIVE!" Tina cried, throwing the dice onto the board. Axton took one look at the number shown on the dice and leaned back in despair. "Are you kidding me?" He complained. "What's wrong?" Asked Gaige as she came through the doorway, pizza in hand. "And what are you guys doing?" She asked all five Vault Hunters and Tiny Tina who were crowded around the table, where it looked like they were paling a board game. "We're about to play the most BADASS GAME EVER!" Tina shouted at the top of her lungs, making the others cringe slightly. "Huh?" Gaige asked, confused.
"Well," Maya started, "remember when we were interrogating that guy from Hyperion a while back?"
"Yeah," Gaige remembered, "then we headed to that Hyperion Moon Base, killed everyone, blew it up, celebrated with Krieg saying he was going to take us all on the poop train or whatever, and Sal and Axton got pissed drunk. So what?"
"POOP TRAIN!" Krieg shouted, raising his buzzaxe in the air, victoriously.
"Turns out while we were interrogating the guy," Axton continued for Maya, "Tina was up here with Lilith, Brick, and Mordecai playing Bunkers & Badasses. They said it was fun, so we want to play too."
"What? That's what we're doing here?" Asked Salvador. "I thought we were just playing to make Tina feel better about Rol- OW!" He was cut off by Zer0's elbow being forced into his gut.
"We wanted to play/ This game of loot and danger/ And that is all, right?" Zer0 added that last part with a bit of edge in his voice towards Sal.
"Eh, yeah right. That's what I meant." Salvador said, rubbing his sore stomach. "Freaking pendejo" He muttered. Zer0 quickly turned towards the muscular dwarf, his hand posed to unsheathe his sword. Salvador quickly looked the other way innocently. Though they were friends, he did not want to get on the assassin's bad side.
"Oh, cool." Said Gaige. "Can I play?"
"Uh, totally, girl!" Said Tina. "Wasn't gonna start another badass round of awesomeness without my BFF with the killah robot!" She pointed to an empty space next to Krieg and Axton. "Just sit your fine ass down and let the games begin!"
Gaige pulled up a chair and scooted in. Krieg looked down at her. "MEDIEVAL TIME, ROBOT LADY!" He shouted. Gaige rubbed her ear and looked at the board. "So who's my character?"
"You can be the commando, siren, mechromancer, assassin, gunzerker, or psycho." Tina answered. Axton scratched his head in confusion. "Wait," he said, "why can't we be our own classes?"
"Dibs on assassin!" Salvador called out, reaching for the figurine that resembled Zer0. The real assassin stopped his hand and grabbed the piece. "I think not." He said quietly.
"No fair." Salvador grumbled.
"Fine," Tina resigned, "y'all can be whoever you want, but it's less fun this way!"
The rest of the Vault Hunters grabbed their figurines and placed them at the part of the board that read "Unassuming Docks of Little Importance", and under that it read "Start, Bitch!" Tina then grabbed a few decks of different cards. "K' this is gonna be your guns, shields, grenade mods, and relics." She announced. "You get these 'til you find better loot in the game." The others nodded, studying their equipment cards.
"Everyone ready?" Tina asked.
"Let's do this!" Said Salvador.
"Ready." Said Zer0.
"STORM THE CASTLE!" Screamed Krieg.
"Let's play!" Said Gaige.
"It's go time!" Said Axton.
"Game on!" Said Maya.
"Round Two!" Said Brick.
Everyone turned to see Brick standing behind Tina, looking at the board with excitement.
"Sorry Brick," said Tina, "there's no more pieces left. 'Sides, you played already, twice, it's their turn now."
"Fine." Brick looked down dejectedly. "But I call next game!"
"Deal!" Said Tina, before returning her attention back to the game. "So as I was saying, ROLL FOR INITIATIVE SUCKAHS!"
Author's Note: So just to clarify this break is where I'm going to switch between narrating the Vault Hunters playing the game and the board game itself.
The Vault Hunters arrived at the docks of Flamerock Refuge, which used to be really nice until the Handsome Sorcerer messed everything up. "Let's head to town to investigate." Axton suggested to the others, who agreed solemnly. It was a nice day- Sorry, I mean it was eternal night, there's real spooky music, and the whole place smells like dead people and butts. "Smells kind of like dead people." Said Gaige as the Hunters walked along the beach.
"And butts." Salvador added.
"SMELLS LIKE HOME!" Said Krieg, earning him a strange look from the others. Suddenly, a horde of skeleton men appeared and ambushed the Vault Hunters. They fought and killed the undead soldiers as they made their way to the gate. When suddenly they heard at the gate's entrance, "Rrraaauuggghh! I am Mister-Boney-Pants-Guy!"
"Wait, time out." Said Maya, holding her hands in a T-position. "Mister-Boney-Pants-Guy?" Tina shrugged.
"Had to make him up last minute, cuz Lily complained that my first boss was too hard to beat this early in the game." She explained. The others took this in, obviously not too pleased, but understood, sort of.
"Hopefully this boss/ Will present a worthy test/ Of my fighting skills." Said Zer0.
The skeleton boss, who was actually somewhat shorter than the other skeletons they faced, charged at them, screaming. That is until he was hoisted into the air and held by Maya's phaselock. The Vault Hunters raised their guns in unison. "Oh crap." And that was Mister-Boney-Pants-Guy's last words. Hopefully that was a worthy challenge for Zer0. "It was not." Said Zer0. Oh well, there's gonna be more bosses anyway. With the way to Flamerock Refuge open, our heroes head towards town, unaware that their every step was being watched.
Author's Note: Hey! Hoped you like the first chapter! I put in the card bit because I just thought that would make sense with the game. I also gave everyone their own characters since that'd be too difficult to write out as I went along. Hope I captured their personalities right, though it's kinda hard to mess up Krieg's. I'm gonna try to put in more dialog in the board game segments and add in a lot of Sci-Fi and Fantasy references, so if there's any you'd like to hear in particular, let me know and I'll try to write it in. That's all, please leave your comments to help me improve in any way!
