Ain't No Rest For The Wicked | No Heaven | Black Dragon | Come With Me Now | Short Change Hero | How You Like Me Now
So you want yet another story? Fine, fine, it's not like I have anything better to do. Ungrateful little.....Anyways this tale is about how our heroes saved not just a single world, but the entire universe! Ha! Exciting yes? Well you know what came first correct? Well I'm telling you anyways. Pandora, this is our home. But make no mistake- this isn't a planet of peace, and love. They say it's a wasteland; that it's dangerous; that only a fool would search for something of value here. They would be mostly correct. But do not be fooled by what Pandora appears to be. There was a legend...many people tell it. The legend of a Vault.
The Vault; opened with a mystical key was fabled to grant whomever found it with alien technology. Infinite wealth. Fame. Power. Women. Or men, if you're into that sort of thing. I don't judge. So you can understand why some little kiddos who hear the stories grow up to become Vault Hunters. Four warriors found out that the legend of the Vault is true, and it's real! And a....let's call her a 'Guardian Angel,' appeared to guide the Vault Hunters to their prize. But when the four warriors opened it, the Vault turned out to be an alien prison, and was just a container of tentacles, and disappointment.
The warriors vanished into the wastelands of Pandora, certain that the Vault held no treasure at all. They were wrong. The Vault's opening triggered the growth of Eridium, a priceless alien element. Soon the rare, and valuable mineral emerged all across Pandora. It's appearance attached many. Including... the Hyperion Corporation. They came to Pandora to mine Eridium, and bring order to the savage planet. Through their excavations, Hyperion uncovered evidence of an even greater Vault.
Their leader, Handsome Jack, vowed to find it- to use it's power to civilize the Borderlands once and for all. But Hyperion weren't the only ones searching for the next Vault's alien power. The call of danger, and loot isn't so easily resisted. Warriors came to Pandora in droves to uncover is hidden secrets. Some would call them adventurers. Others call them fools. They are both probably right, but I call them Vault Hunters. Through some misadventures, blah, blah, blah, blah, the new Vault Hunters allied themselves with the 'guardian angel', and the original Vault Hunters. Together they were able to kill Handsome Jack. But not without the loss of the leader of the original Vault Hunters, Roland, and the 'guardian angel', the Siren Angel, Jack's daughter.
But even with the boss-man dead, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. The rest of Hyperion's forces needed to be cleaned out. The Vault Hunters, and their resistance force the Crimson Raiders started sending the Hyperion forces home packing. But then they came across a former ally to the original Vault Hunters named Athena, who was involved with Handsome Jack's rise to power. After to learning of how Jack hired a group of Vault Hunters to find a Vault on Pandora's moon Elpis, and her role in his turn to a tyrannical ruler, she was to be executed by firing squad, by the orders of acting leader Lilith, one of the original Vault Hunters.
But Athena's death was postponed by The Watcher, an alien being who left a cryptic message that war is coming, and all Vault Hunters would be needed....
