#commander lilith dlc

[snappedsky]

Something I've been wanting to draw for a long time: title cards for Skies if she appeared in the games. From top to bottom, Borderlands 2, Tales From the Borderlands, Commander Lilith DLC, and Borderlands 3. If you're interested in when her cards would appear in game, check out under the cut!

Borderlands 2: Skies is a boss fight, the third to final boss before Jack and the Warrior. When the player enters the Vault, Skies is waiting for them at the start of the tunnel and says ‘Sup.’ *Title card*.

Tales From the Borderlands: When Rhys and Vaughn get separated from Sasha and Fiona during the moonshots from Helios, and they’re waiting in the desert for Yvette to send them a car, they get attacked by a pair of skags. But thankfully, a mysterious one-armed person sweeps in and saves them, killing the skags. Turns out this person is a female Psycho, or at least that’s what she looks like. But when she takes off her mask, Jack recognizes her as Skies, and Rhys exclaims, “Skies the Bodyguard?” To which Skies replies, “Ex-bodyguard.” *Title card*.

Commander Lilith DLC: After Sanctuary has been taken by Colonel Hector, and Mordecai has been poisoned by Hector’s gas, the Crimson Raiders are in The Backburner, discussing their next moves when Skies walks in. She sees Mordecai, sick and unconscious on a couch and says, “bummer.” *Title card*.

Borderlands 3: When the player is helping Zer0 fight Maliwan soldiers to get to a weapons depot, a smaller ship flies in, taking out the Maliwan drop ships with ease. A woman jumps out of the small ship and swiftly takes out the surrounding soldiers with her assault rifle. A Pyrotech Heavy tries to attack her, but she dodges his flamethrower and smashes her bladed fist through his helmet and right into his face. Blood sprays out around her as she smirks wildly. *Title card*.

Vaughn Will Remember That

My entry for the @telltalemonthlychallenge​ December theme, “Remembrance.”  This is my first time publicly posting any of my fanfic writing and I’m incredibly nervous about it. But here we go!

Inspired by the "Vaughn will remember that” you can get in Tales from the Borderlands Episode 3, if you have Fiona buy Vaughn glasses from the Quick Change machine.

Vaughn wandered through Hellion Hole—the shanty town that the former Children of Helios (now known as the Helios Hellions) had erected in the entrance of the wreckage of Helios in the months after Helios had crashed into Pandora. It was one of those rare days at Helios Fallen where no one had any problems to report. No outdated Hyperion systems were failing. No rival bandits (or worse yet, Vault Hunters) had been seen approaching the base. Nobody even had a case of Pandoran Itchy Foot. In short… it was a good day to be a bandit chief.

For some other bandit chief, anyway. Vaughn had learned to dread the quiet days. The peace and quiet gave him too much time to think. To remember. To feel lost and alone, despite being surrounded by people.

Vaughn retreated into his shack and closed the door behind him. He leaned against it and let out a long sigh.

“Don’t,” the little voice in the back of his head warned. The voice and Vaughn both knew Vaughn was going to ignore it. “It’s just going to bum you out,” the voice continued.

Vaughn sighed again and crossed the small shack to a locker against the opposite wall. He opened the door and pulled the contents out: a small black case and a rolled up piece of paper. He carried them to the desk and sat down in the chair. It had been his own desk chair from his office in the accounting department, and had come through the crash of Helios relatively unscathed. He leaned back in the chair, staring at the ceiling of his shack, and spun himself around slowly in the chair a few times. Vaughn let the chair come to a halt again, and he leaned forward, reaching for the small black case.

Vaughn opened the case and pulled out the Apollo Visioneers—the eyeglasses Fiona had purchased for him from the Quick-Change machine they’d found in the Atlas Biodome while searching for Gortys’s upgrade. Vaughn pulled the cleaning cloth out of the case and wiped the lenses, even though they didn’t need it. The lenses were spotless, the frame in perfect condition. Unlike the Hyperion Echo-Spex Vaughn was currently wearing, which had scratched, cracked lenses, and a piece of tape holding the frame together at the bridge.

Vaughn supposed that he should press the Apollo Visioneers into service, but… he still couldn’t bring himself to put Fiona’s gift at risk of being damaged by the harsh living conditions that had rendered his Echo-Spex nearly useless. Vaughn still remembered the way the Visioneers had digistructed on his face while he was eating a piece of fruit. He hadn’t been paying attention to what the others were doing, so it had taken him a moment to figure out what was happening. He remembered seeing Fiona standing by the Quick-Change. She’d given him one of her patented winks, and Vaughn had panicked… rattling off the Apollo Visioneers’ technical specs. Fiona had flashed her cocky half-smile, obviously pleased.

Vaughn took off his Echo-Spex and put the Visioneers on. He blinked a few times as his eyes adjusted to the new glasses. It had been such a long time since he hadn’t had to try to peer around the cracks and scratches in his lenses.  Vaughn unrolled the piece of paper and flattened it on the desk as best he could. He stared at Fiona’s wanted poster.

“Where are you, Fi?” Vaughn asked. He missed her. Still. He couldn’t forget her. He’d tried.

“Hey, Vaughn,” Vaughn’s EchoComm crackled in his ear.

“What’s up, Reggie?” Vaughn asked.

“We’re not really sure, but there’s a group approaching the base. Fast.”

“Vault hunters, or bandits?” Vaughn sighed.

“It kind of looks like… Dahl,” Reggie said uncertainly, “or ex-Dahl? Bandits who’ve looted a Dahl facility? We dunno. But it feels like trouble.”

“Ok, I’ll be right there,” Vaughn said. He ended the call.

Vaughn stood, and gave Fiona’s poster one last, longing look before rolling it back up and putting the Apollo Visioneers back in their case. He stowed the keepsakes in the locker, and hastily donned his Echo-Spex before rushing out of his shack.

Vaughn was grateful for the distraction. He’d have plenty of time to mope about Fiona’s disappearance after the Hellions repelled the Dahl-attired bandits.
