What Now?
"Finally!" you exclaim as you finish climbing up a rock wall. You stood up to over look the large race track. There he was. Bossanova, known to have killed many people with this death race of his. You pull the Jakobs sniper rifle off your back and look through the scope to get a closer look. The race hadn't started just yet. You look around and see a group of people. The tallest one turns around making the Hyperion label on his vest visible. You study the group a little longer and decide to try to make some friends. Jumping down from the rock you land a few feet away from the crew. You could tell your sudden appearance startled them, mainly because one of the girls had you at gunpoint. "Whoa. I'm not here to hurt you!" you say holding your hands slightly above your head.
"Who are you?" the gunner asked.
"(y/n). Your turn" you say slowly putting your hands down.
"I'm Rhys. This is Sasha, Vaughn and Fiona." the tall male stated
You smile and start to say something but something caught your eye. You quickly grab your sniper and look through the scope. A black figure was jumping around and runs straight into the racers quarters. The sudden realization of who it surprises you. "Holy Hell! It's Zer0!" you whisper smiling and putting your gun back to its original position. Zer0 is your long-time hero, he inspired you to become a vault hunter."Well. I guess I should leave you to your business~" you say in a singsong voice and start climbing down.
"Wait!" Vaughn starts "we could use your help. You're a vault hunter, right?" he asks.
You nod. "But I'm new to it. Why would you all want a Novice on your team?"
Fiona speaks up this time "You look menacing. And you seem to know your way around a gun"
"In all honesty, if you don't have a gun, you're dead. I'm surprised that that one kept you alive." you shake your head. "Besides that I guess I'm in?" Rhys smiled and began to compose a 'brilliant' plan. You and the others decide his plan was too complex to undertake. Fiona jumps down from the rock and you, sasha, and Vaughn follow in suit. Before too long Rhys realized that you all had ditched him. He scurried to catch up and climb down the hatch.
You climb down next but as soon as you're down the hatch closes. You knock on the hatch frantically. "What's going on? It's really dark in here!" Sasha says looking up.
"Not sure. We better keep going though..." you say, not being reassuring.
The other two made useless attempts at trying to get the hatch open. And once they decided to move on, Sasha held her gun up at Rhys, saying stuff about them planning to kill her and Fiona. You roll your eyes and begin to walk ahead.
