Okay, NOW the story begins!

The bus the 4 vault hunters were in was just a mile away from Fyrestone. In each of their eyes, Angel appeared, though she wasn't in focus and she was translucent.

"Don't be alarmed." She spoke "I need you to stay calm and don't let on that anyone is talking to you. Start making your way off of the bus. You don't have any reason to trust me, but I need you to believe that I'm here to guide you;" The bus stopped outside Fyrestone's entrance. "I'm here to help you find the vault. In a moment, you'll be greeted by a funny little robot. Do everything he says. You'll know what I mean when it happens. I'll contact you again soon." The Vault Hunters all got up for their seats and made their way to the front of the bus. Marcus turned to them.

"Well, we're here." He spoke "Don't worry about saying goodbye. I'm sure we'll be doing this all again soon enough." He chuckled, then cleared his throat. "Now, get off my bus." He opened the bus boor for them.

"Thanks." Roland spoke.

"Gracias." Mordecai added.

"Piss off." Lilith said, giving Marcus the bird. Brick growled at Marcus before getting off, the bus shaking as he jumped out. The bus drove off, and the four took a deep breath.

"Well, we're here." Roland began. "Let's find us that Vault!"

"Hell yeah!" Brick added, punching his fists. "I wanna punch something to a bloody pulp!"

"You can do the punching," Mordecai replied, pulling a bird out of a cage he had camouflaged around his waste. "Bloodwing's ready to pull some Cabrón's intestines out. Ain't that right, bloodwing?"

"SQUAW!!!" Bloodwing replied.

"That's what I'm talking about."

"Guys," Lillith spoke, pointing ahead. "Look; a funny looking robot."  

UGH!!! Claptrap!!!

Claptrap?

Pretty much the world's worst robot ever! So Freakin' annoying!

How annoying?

By the fact that it lead to my death!

What!?

Dad! We'll get to that, later! But, yes, this specific Claptrap unit is in all of these stories, and all I hate! A WHOLE LOT!!! But... he got what's coming to him.

"See ya next time!" the robot, a yellow, box shaped robot on a single wheel, a single blue 'eye', an antennae, and two stick like arms spoke, waving to the bus Marcus drove away with. He rolled himself to the four vault hunters. "Welcome to Fyrestone! I am CL4P-TP, but you all may call me by my designated name, 'Claptrap'."

"Hello, Claptrap." The Vault Hunters spoke in unison.

"Before continuing, please, accept this ECHO communication device and heads-up display! Free of charge by the Dahl Corporation!"

Wait, wasn't Claptrap working for Hyperion?

Who gives a s**t!

Language!!!

The four took the Echo and were updated about their health (all perfectly healthy), the weapons and bullets they had (all low), Their Experience points (currently level 1), and their compass.

"Great!" Claptrap spoke again. "I detect that all of your ECHO devicesare fully functioning! This way, please." The four followed the robot to what looked liked a giant antennae pole sticking out from the ground. "Step right up! this is the New-U Station. When you use this device, your DNA profile is automatically identified and stored. Please, activate the New-U station now."

"Better safe than sorry, guys." Roland spoke "You too, Brick."

"Ah hell no!" Brick replied "I'm invincible!"

"I got this." Lilith spoke. She punched Brick in the nuts, making him fall to his knees and wheezed hard. He touched the New-U station.

"DNA confirmed." It spoke "Subject: Brick, is stored. Enjoy your New-U."

"You... bitch." Brick wheezed before falling to the floor. The rest touched the New-U station, having their DNA stored.

"Excellent! Now that your DNA is registered, you have the best in horrific death and dismemberment insurance! Should an unfortunate fatal incident occur, your 'new you' will appear at the nearest station. Now we can head to the peaceful town of Fyrestone! I'll lead the way." Claptrap rolled along and the four followed, though Brick literally dragged himself.

For a Year.

What?

It's just a little something we do to make sure no one stays alive forever. All New-U stations will make a copy fo an entire year. After that, PTTHTH!

Plus, if they still made copies for these freakin' bandits, then not only would they still be around, but Diamond here may have died.

But... why didn't you do this New-U thing yourself?

Later, other dad. For now, let's get back to the story. Oh, Silver Spoon, are you sure you wanna stay? This part is where it gets REALLY violent!

Oh come on! Please~!? I found it funny for that man to be hurt, even if I don't know human Anatomy and physiology.

Well... some of the deaths here are funny, but some are more painful, and bloodier, than what I just told.

I can handle anything!

Alright, but don't go crying for this.

But you said you were watching this?

Yep!

How, though?

In the Hyperion station, Diamond Tiara dragged a bucket of popcorn she got from the Employee's break room Jack shared with. They were a bit rough, but they had a soft for Diamond Tiara, even the more crazier ones. She sat down and began to munch of the popcorn.

"What did I miss?" She asked

"Brick, the large one," Angel replied, her systems on hold "was punched in the nuts by his friend." Diamond chuckled at it. "You may want to leave. This is going to get violent."

"Oh come on! Please~!? I found it funny for that man to be hurt, even if I don't know human Anatomy and physiology."

"...Oh, fine. But don't go crying to dad about this! Can I get some popcorn?"

"Sure!" Diamond jumped onto her big sister's lap and placed the bucket next to her. They both munched away, about to see the violence about to go on, as a couple of cars drove over Fyrestone's gate and made Claptrap and Vault Hunters panic. Next Chapter: Violence time!!! Estimated time remaining: 8 Minutes
