Multiverse Adventures: Starting in Borderlands

Chapter 24: Chapter 24: New Haven



"That's the last of them, now then, where's Lucky. Surely he isn't still on the toilet." I said to myself in a low voice as I made my way through the bandit infested outpost in the Arid Badlands. The next region I had went to.

I could teleport to New Haven since the mastery of my abilities has reached the point where I can teleport to locations I can visually depict in my mind.

Somehow a few more bandits infiltrated the town but I don't know why that is, didn't the group already take care of them?

I made my way to where Lucky was found in the game and…

"…"

"…"

We both started at each other for a solid minute before I simply retracted my head from the doorway and closed it.

Bro Code rule, 'Thou Shalt Not Speaketh Of What Has Happened.'

After that…odd encounter I went to the Eridian ruins underneath the sand covered region.

When I entered the ruins I was soon swarmed by three Eridian Guardians, but something strange happened…unlike in the game…these ones didn't attack me.

I found it odd but if they were friendly I didn't want to waste such a valuable chance.

"Transfer the knowledge and information the three of you have into one of your staffs."

They "said" that they could impart their individual knowledge into another's staff but it can't be extracted by organic beings such as myself through ordinary means, so i had to take all three. I'll figure out how to extract the knowledge later form the staffs. 

I forced all three of the Guardians to enter a pocket dimensional space I had created a few years ago.

Maybe the system, Angel or Tannis can help with that. 

Once I was done here, I decided to loot the place for anything I could acquire before teleporting away from the ruins, but not before I blew up the entrance. 

I will return here in the future with Tannis and Angel to analyse anything they are able to.

With the Guardians in my Pocket Dimension, one of my plans was to build a massive army of them. 

But as long as The Seer remains alive, he can take control of any Vault Guardian I have, even if I am a Siren. 

Teleporting to the area where Skagzilla was I found his dead remains, guess the others had some fun of their own.

I decided to go meet up with them by now, thus I teleported there yet again, but guess what? 

"Don't you move from where you are or I'll open fire! 

This B.i.t.c.h. There is a reason why her face is so deformed from that Skag Pearl Ring her husband gave her! 

It's cause he couldn't stand her shitty character and gave it to troll her. 

The woman with a face, that looks like Two-Face from DC comics, was non-other than Helena Pierce. 

"Shut up Pierce!" 

Helena Pierce was taken aback by my response, she then realised what I said and she tried threatening me once again. 

In response to that, I teleported to her and held my gun Calamity to her throat. 

"Like to try threatening me again Bitch?!" 

Pierce realised that I was the one in control of the situation, she lowered her gun and just stood there at my mercy. 

"What are your intentions regarding New Haven?" 

"I am with the Vault Hunters, that is all I am obliged to tell you. You threaten me, I'll return it in kind. I mean no I'll intent to the people of New Haven if that is what you are concerned about." 

Pierce wasn't a bad person, just she is annoying with that personality of hers. 

She is cold to the player because she cares about the people of New Haven so I'll give her that. 

And I had teleported into New Haven unannounced as a complete stranger, I could be a Bandit for all she knows, that's why she threatened me. 

I ignored Pierce as I moved away from her after holstering my gun.

I had just remembered I had left T.K. behind at his home when I wanted to bring him along...oops... 

Well... 

*A few moments later...* 

*poof* 

"Well I'll be damned...finally made it here in one piece, whoo-wee!" 

A quick Fast Travel and teleport to TK's home and a quick little convincing solved the problem real quick.

In Borderlands 2 it's revealed why T.K. Baha was killed was because the Hyperion corporation had grown interested in his Wave Gun design.

Thus, they sent bounty hunters to kill him and take the blueprints but they never found it since he has hidden it inside the vending machine in his basement.

In the end he was found dead in Borderlands 1 after the New Haven mission, as he had been hanged on his fan's rope.

"HEY! RA- *ahem* SPECTRE'S BACK!" 

"Dammit Brick! Don't shout right next to me!" The voice of Modecai followed in response to the roaring of the massive slab of meat.

I saw Brick and Mordecai hanging around beside a building I can only assume to be a Pub or Bar of sorts. 

Roland and Lilith are off somewhere else I assume, but I can hear that Mordecai is talking in the Echo with him saying I'd just returned. 

"I see you all clearly made it here in one piece?" I said as I approached them.

"We ran into some trouble before we got here." Modecai responded with what looked like a slight smile.

"Mad Mel?" 

"Hell Yeah Man! That was AWSOME! I got to blow a hella lot of Bandit Runners!" Brick enthusiastically added.

"It was a pain. I don't like shooting while driving, it's annoying." 

"I thought you were a sniper, and that smile of yours is any indication, you liked the challenge ever since the one we did back then." 

Brick was shocked when he heard that I had a one vs one against Mordecai in a contest. 

Before he could try asking if I could have one with him, Mordecai interjected. 

After checking in with everybody I went to a certain large building, after getting directions from the others, Sirin had returned from the Caustic Caverns while Baneres was still there, Sirin having joined up with me, we made our way to a destination of mine

I entered the building and saw a fat bearded man that screamed "Merchant" when you see him. 

"Hey there Marcus!" I said as I saw Marcus Kincaid, the owner of Marcus Munitions a renowned firearms selling enterprise, even though it's run by himself and what I assume some other associates to help manage all the stores and vending machines.

"Oh! You're that Vault Hunter the others were talking about, Spectre was it?!" 

I nodded and Marcus had me enter his shop before he turned to face me and ask.

"So what can I do for you?" 

"I'm here to make a deal with you Marcus. One that will make us richer than even Mega Corporations in a few years, well be earning trillions of dollars with ease, but if we are to succeed then we will need to act soon and begin preparing now. So what do you say? Will you hear me out?" 

As if a lost fire had suddenly reawakened in his eyes, he grinned from ear to ear. 

"I'm all ears, my friend."
