(I posted this elsewhere a few months ago, and promptly forgot about it. But I’m going to make an effort to update this, as well as some of my other stories!) NO PLACE FOR HEROES Prologue

—————————————————————————

So you’re here for another story, hmm? I have a story for you, I always have stories to share, you can trust old Marcus on that. I’ve told you stories about the vaults on Pandora and the vault hunters who saved the planet. They’ve dealt with evil corporations hellbent on taking over the planet, and they even took down gods! There was nothing our vault hunters couldn’t do in the face of danger and the promise of treasure.

But their story ended with Pandora saved. They’ve had their adventure, and life as we know it goes on. Pandora returns to normal, our six galaxies return to rebuild what has been lost. It seems there is a happily ever after, for most people.

But what if I were to tell you that the ultimate story doesn’t end here? There are rumors, legends that have been passed down as stories of not a vault, but a planet filled with countless treasures and untold wealth. A mysterious planet, rumored to have been created by the Eridians to hold all their secrets, and kept a tight secret. Could it be another vault? Several vaults? No one knows, because not everyone knows it exists. Hell, years ago, people thought the vault on Pandora was a myth, and we were all proven wrong with time and stubbornness unmatched by anyone. Without our vault hunters’ determination, we wouldn’t have a story to begin with.

But, unfortunately, this isn’t a story for our beloved vault hunters. New heroes rise up, new friendships and alliances are formed, and new enemies are made. This is a story of greed, secrets, betrayal, trust, and a search for a long-kept secret about to be discovered, a secret that could change everything we know about life itself. Our story begins not on Pandora, for a change, but on Elpis – in a remote camp, far away from civilization. We feature a new cast of characters: a man who dreams of being a hero, a monk running from Athenas, a vault hunter in training, Atlas scientists who wish to be taken seriously, and most importantly, me.

#BorderlandsAU: So what was Jack's reaction when he found out Hiccup was the Rakk Conqueror? Was he a little uneasy around them?

I wouldn’t say uneasy so much as completely unbothered. It wasn’t so much that he started to underestimate Hiccup, he just thought the stories of the menacing Rakk Conqueror with a sharp wit and sharper tongue would yield some different results.

So that led to their first meeting to include a lot of bickering, but also some low key and insult-ridden flirting.

Hiccup, what do you think of Vault Hunters? #borderlandsau

H: “I’m not so ignorant as to deny the good that some Vault Hunters have done for Pandora with the whole Handsome Jack and Hyperion nonsense, but they all came here for two things: fame and riches. They’re not exactly a virtuous lot.”
