(Spoilers for Borderlands 2 and all DLCs. YE HATH BEEN WARNED-ETH.)
Vault Hunters. Men and women of legend, who can take on armies by themselves and win - let alone together.
The Bearers of Harmony. Six mares who share two things; the core tenets of friendship, and an uncanny ability for kicking evil's ass.
Thanks to a mishap involving raw Eridium and specialized, experimental moonshots, the floating city of Sanctuary has been Phased from the death-world of Pandora to its total polar opposite - Equestria. And yet, even in a land of peace and love, there is no rest for the wicked. A secret group aims to unleash a long-slain foe that not even the gods can stop, which promises to destroy the world. Princess Celestia sends the Elements of Harmony to stop this foe before they can doom all who live.
There's just one problem; this adventure is exponentially more dangerous than anything the Elements have ever been on before - so, reason the Princesses, why not use the rugged, tough, god-like Vault Hunters who popped into existence 1000 feet in the air to assist? Not like they're doing much.
Join the Main Twelve and the floating city of Sanctuary in yet another quest that will decide the fate of the world! Will the good guys win? Can the Vault Hunters be shown the magic of friendship? Will Marcus ever give a discount? MAYBE!
First. And very interesting! Next chapter now, or you're skag-bait.
PLEASE PRESENT YOUR TICKETS, THE POOP TRAIN IS ABOUT TO SET OFF.
...This is going to be so awesome!
Yessssssss.
I've alread played BL2 all the way through. Don't have all the DLC's though. Only got Assault on Dragon's Keep because my friends got it.
If there isn't a contest between Krieg and Pinkie to see who is more insane I will be sorely disappointed
2849564
In my opinion, Pinkie is a lot more like Tiny Tina than Krieg.
2849312: Try me, grinder.
2849564 and 2850128: Yeah. Krieg would be the winner. Like Frog said, Pinkie's a little more Tina-like, whereas Krieg... Krieg is a legitimate psychopath. Krieg wins this contest hands-down. He might not have knowledge of the fourth wall like Ms. Pinks does, but then again, how you expect somepony with the Element of Laughter to act when she knows about that kinda stuff? Without a fourth wall, Krieg is eight different ways of screwed up, so he wins.
Be disappointed. (Probably won't do that, but hey, I got stuff planned.)
Still haven't read it!
2851663: Three out of four betas is enough!
Sorry Proth. Oh well. If you catch any errors I'll commend you next chapter over.
The Vault Hunters in Equestria? YES! All of my YES!
I love Borderlands! It's unique blend of comedy and drama make for one hell of a game. And I can't wait to see how the world of Equestria will react to the legendary Vault Hunters.
I just hope that this story doesn't wind up on hiatus or dead like so many of the other BorderlandsXFiM crossovers I've seen on this site.
2851936: I finished a story about Mass Effect that ran for about 15 chapters.
I'll try my damndest to make sure it doesn't go down fighting, but I've planned out the entire story beforehand. This stands a chance.
Me, it would've been fine if you just had Krieg, but having all six of them, that's awesome. Oh and Gaige is actually either 13, 14 or 15, because her Echo recordings show that she was living with her dad and left to Pandora over a Science Fair accident.

Let's see if that mind control implant works. Ahem, would you kindly work on nothing but this until it is done?
Seriously, I f*cking love Borderlands, both games, and combining it with FiM is sure to lead to happy fun times. LOOK OUT, THE POOP TRAIN'S COMING THOUGH!
2863049: Psych Resistance of 100, suckaduck. Try again next time.
Can't wait to see where this goes, never enough Borderlands crossovers, but this one definitely seems to be a unique take on the concept. Also
Marcus' facehole opened
Fantastic
2879412: I am a creative person who sometimes uses creative words.
Facehole is one of those words.
If you have a problem you can take it up with Marcus.
2883081
No problems, just satisfaction
pllllleeeeeaaaassseeee put up the next chapter, I've never begged before but I think this story is worth all my squabble
2898660: Greatness cannot be rushed.
(Admittedly I am a lazy bastard but next chapter is indeed in the works, so just hang tight)
2899298 I'll hang tight. The noose is already set up, with the words "THIS STORY HAS BEEN ABANDONED" on it.
Well christ, am I late to the party.
I'm sorry.
Steam sales, and things. I wish I had friends
But anyway, my god is perched on a branch and will jump on your face and smother you if you won't give Zer0 the appropriate amout of screentime.
2990355: No promises. Expect Zer0 to say badass/weird shit, though. It's what he's there for (besides stabbing peeps in the face/sniping fools).
"Not that it bothered him. Three annoying little fillies were not a problem to him. He had a story to hell."
He had a story to hell
This an error? did you mean
"Not that it bothered him. Three annoying little fillies were not a problem to him. He had a story to tell."???
also shouldn't "Marcus' facehole opened, and aforemented story began."
be "Marcus' facehole opened, and the aforementioned story began. (another error - aforemented to aforementioned)
To me the 'the' before aforementioned just makes it roll off the tongue easier. (or read easier either way XD)
sorry if i'm bothering you just had to say those. I'm a stickler for spelling mistakes XD
3010289: Somehow, none of the betareaders even caught those.
Much thanks, amigo. Repairs effected.
3011628 No problemo! Awesome start to what I hope to be a good story. Have a good day!
Woah, you sure know how to set things up. Looking forward to more.
stories like this i love long chapters
3091011: This entire story is meticulously planned out. You will probably love it.
Mother of god...
You gave Salvador the damn Norfleet.
All the other hunters have to do is stand behind him and he'll kill everything by himself.
3091473: Be very glad I didn't give him a second 'Fleet. Also, Word of God: Salvador is wearing the Sham.
Quake in fear. (Though the Norfleet won't be seeing much use, because Sal doesn't like shooting himself and rocket ammo is expensive).
What is horror if I am Krieg.
3091880 ....... Does he have dual Unkempt Harolds? I ask only so I can predict how much destruction Sal can bring to the ribcage slaughter.
(though the first time Gaige mounted that ability, sometimes it went around restoring enemy shields and giving shields to Threshers)
I believe You're thinking of Stalkers. Thresher's are the ones that rise up underground and they don't have shields
i laughed more than i should have.
also, can't wait til' the ponies meet Krieg
... or Moxxi... or Marcus
3092355: Just a single one. He dual-wields it with Rubi for buttloads of health-gain.
3092940: I was right the first time. That was a call back to before Buck Up got patched; Deathtrap would sometimes use Buck Up on enemies, and as far as I can recall, would give shields to enemies that had none in the first place.
3093281: They'll be meeting all of those people in maybe that exact order.
I feel the need! The Need, to Read!!!
that right there is a good analogy, as an Australian myself I can say we are VERY dangerous... more so in the natural department though (snakes, roos and bushfires oh my!)
Gaige and Krieg... I expect big things for these two, they are my favourite vault hunters (both because they can be extremely OP with the right guns and points)... so you must make a 20% cooler comment between Gaige and RD, because Gaige is OBVIOUSLY at least 20% cooler than Dash
3097853: Oh, crap, it's the guy from my old fic-writing squad! Everyone! Blow him! ...Away!
3097990: And so is the Everfree. There are animate wolves made of detritus, manticores (THE MOST FEROCIOUS BEASTS), and chances are there's also all kinda creepy-crawlies hidden away in there. I wouldn't touch it with a twenty-foot-pole, if that pole exploded every time I touched something.
Yeah. Gaige and Anarchy is hilarious with Jakobs shotguns, and I have personal exprience with the monstrosity that is Krieg with a Roid Shield, a Rapier, and Release The Beast.
Also; no. To be honest I find 20% cooler is... sorta over-used. It's like "arrow to the knee" for me, it's really overstayed its welcome and yet it's still used. Often. No offense, but that's not something I'll be doing.
3101233 RIP THE FLESH!!! SALT THE WOUND!!! HELP THE ELDERLY TO CROSS THE STREET!!!
3101233 I only really made that comment due to Gaige's skill of the same name
and I know that feeling with Krieg, and don't forget his OTHER melee boosting skills, just imagine the pure carnage with empty the rage, fuel the rampage, salt the wound, silence the voices and pain is power at level 61 with the highest rapier possible (that would make something around 800% melee with full STW stacks, beast mode active and on fire...) can you handle the PAIN!?
3101700: And that's not discounting Sickle class mods that add further to base melee damage and boost melee damage-increasing skills.
3104317 very true, i forgot those hehe
I came for Vaut Hunters and Ponies. But, I stayed for Krieg.
3469834: I plan to have Krieg show off at some point.
How? When? That remains a mystery.
i noticed the BLue hair part. Prince Blueblood has blond hair
A-whoopsie daisy.
I completely forgot about this....
Having to write a cumulative 15 pages or so of research plus the rest of college kinda pushes other thoughts out.
Oh, and GTA V.
From what I could tell, no glaring mistakes, and the pacing seems fine.
Just make that past tense, and it should be good. And that was the only thing that stood out to me after the first read.
Aside from that, moar Krieg and Deathtrap.
Perhaps a massive melee orgy with Krieg going Mutant and DT giving everyone the Clap?
The explosive one, not the STD.
3470184: ...Now that I think of it he does.
Thank you, random reader, the error will be fixed with haste! I must have been thinking of Shining Armor, that dashing devil...
3470300: And that error will be fixed too.
3469924 Idea, have it involve fire and lots of explosives
