Gaige's eyes fluttered open as the darkness surrounding her vision faded. She sat upright and looked around to find that she was in a forest, bright lush apples hanging from the trees. She got to her feet, groaning as she felt the soreness in her muscles. Her mind cleared and questions surfaced in her thoughts. Where am I? What the hell is going on? How did I get here? Damn those apples look good. At the last thought she decided it would be better to think with a full stomach. She walked over to a nearby tree, reached up, and grabbed one of the apples from a lower branch and took a bite. The apple was the best thing she'd ever tasted. The flavour and the texture was beyond anything she had eaten on Pandora or Eden-5. Realizing her thoughts were drifting she focused on what happened. She thought of the last thing she could remember.
Flashback
The six vault hunters were heavily outnumbered. Gunning down hundreds of bandits only to have twice as many replace them. "There are too many/I recommend a retreat/It would be most wise." Zero stated in his trademark haiku format as he picked off another bandit with his sniper.
"I hate to admit it but he's right. They just keep coming and I'm running outta ammo." Axton pitched in, firing another rocket into a sea of psychos and marauders, flesh and blood going everywhere. "Sal, Gaige, Krieg, can you three cover us while we activate the fast-travel station?"
"On it!" Gaige replied.
"No problem!" Salvador shouted.
"POUNDS! OF! FLESH!" Krieg screamed at the top of his lungs
At this point they were vaguely able to understand what Krieg actually means and just nodded at him. Salvador pulled out a second gun and started firing wildly into the horde of enemies, releasing a loud battle cry, as Gaige digistructed her robot known as deathtrap into existence. Meanwhile Krieg rushed towards the bandits with a large weapon with a spinning saw blade on the end that he called the buzz axe. A few moments and a few hundred bullets later the fast-travel station whirred to life. "Hey! Its up and running, get your asses over here and lets get to sanctuary!" Axton shouted out to the trio fending off the wave of death. At that point they turned and ran. Even Krieg did so after some coaxing done by his inner voice. By the time they reached the station Maya, Axton, and Zero had left. Salvador was next as he deconstructed into tiny particles and was sent off to sanctuary, Krieg was next digistructing into the machine. Gaige was last to go thinking she was safe, but as she finished getting broken down into particles and was about to be sent off, a suicide psycho ran up to the fast-travel station, grenade in hand above his head, and exploded.
End of Flashback
"Okay so a psycho blew up the station with me in it and sent me god knows where." Gaige thought aloud. "Well shit. I guess I should try to find civilization somewhere and find out where I am." And with that she strode off in no particular direction. Walking through what she assumed was an apple acreage She had time to think to herself. I wonder how the others are doing? Who am I kidding. They're probably chilling in sanctuary with Roland and the others. But who knows, maybe they're stuck with some boring task like when we had to fix the power over at the happy pig. In that case I'm actually pretty lucky at the moment. I just hope I can get back before something fun happens. I could try offing myself and see if the New-U stations could pick me up. Nah, that's too risky, and besides resurrection is expensive as fuck. After about ten minutes of walking, the soreness from straining her muscles in battle caught up to her. I suppose a little rest wouldn't kill me. She thought. So she promptly found a nice shady tree to lay down in. It wasn't too long until sleep took her.
She woke a few hours later, The sun was starting to set, emitting a dull orange glow across the acreage and the sky. Gaige noticed the beauty of the place, showing no signs of human activity let alone battle. Was she sent somewhere that didn't have conflict? No, where there's a habitable environment, there's creatures, where there's creatures, there's conflict. But maybe, just maybe, she wound up on a planet that was mostly peaceful. What would they think if they found someone from a planet where hostility and murder is as natural as eating and sleeping? Would they be afraid? Appalled? Angry? But before she could continue her train of thought, she saw a glimpse of a winged creature in the sky. Rakks. Was the thought in her mind. Gaige instinctively reached to her waist to pull out her Skewering Rifle. But when she brought her hand back from her waist she found a Jakobs brand Ornery Revolver, instead of the snow white assault rifle she had grown accustomed to, firmly placed in her hand. The revolver was a dirtied silver colour and had traditional iron sights. She quickly checked her inventory and found that she had no other guns or grenades, but at least she had her shield and enough ammo for the time being, and she knew she had deathtrap because the rod used to summon him was built in her robotic left arm. Figuring it was better than nothing she raised the pistol at the ready and continued on her path.
Seconds later she heard a voice. "Hello? She whipped around faster than most would think possible and brought her gun up, aiming down the sights. What she saw was something she did not expect. A light-grey pony stood before her. it had a bright yellow mane and tail and similarly coloured irises, one of her overly-large eyes pointed off above seemingly looking at the sky. But her most prominent feature was the two wings tucked by her sides.
"A pegasus?" Gaige said in disbelief. not lowering her weapon in the least.
"Well duh." It replied
ALRIGHT! More anarchy.

Anarchy for the win!
This is actually quite good, barring a few easily forgiven grammatical errors. The only real problem is the length, but that can be easily addressed. Try and shoot for somewhere between 5000 and 10,000 words a chapter; less flak that way.
Too bad Gaige would be stoked.
To the guy below me, no grammatical error is forgivable.
Hell yeah to this story.
I'm glad you like it and as for the grammatical errors if you're talking about things like when I spelled colour that's because I live in Canada and that's proper grammar here. Also I only wrote this within a few short hours so no it's not very long but I'll try to make it longer next time as I'm already working on chapter 2.
5034424 This. A third of of Gaige's skills in game are references to MLP, the care bears, or other "childish" properties. Painting her as wanting to leave reeks of sloppy characterization and forced conflict.
5035981
She'd freak out. And she'd probably bond with the Cutie Mark Crusaders who are now close to her age.
CRUSH THE SYSTEM!!!
Potent as Pony BEST SKILL EVUR!!!
Let Butt Stalion here as the villian! Could be cool.
All around the library the derpy chased the muffin
the derpy was just hungry and stuff
POP goes the muffin
writen by Scoter + friends
Deathtrap isn't capitalized
Neither is the term "Vault Hunter"
Spelling errors
Grammar errors
Lazy paragraphing
VERY lazy writing all round actually
Sanctuary isn't capitalized
So far so bad
She doesn't say 'fuck' or 'shit'
She doesn't have a Legendary cause I don't know
More grammar errors
Fix your shit, Author.
5039235 Wow, way to make yourself come off badly, it helps to add what you think about the story, not just saying whats wrong and not leaving any comment on the story its self.Your way to aggressive and to the point.
5039440
I call 'em as I see it.
5039441 Not always the best way to do things.
Small suggestion. Break some of your larger paragraphs down. A "Wall of Text" usually sends reader fleeing for the hills in the first chapter. Also, when someone new speaks,
"Start a new paragraph!" exclaimed Twilight.
Thank you Twi.
"No problem." She stated.
You see? Makes talking so much easier to read. And this applies to thoughts too.
It's just to make for an easier read to the viewer.
Simple author courtesy.
And, while he was an ass about it, CrystalHero97 DID have some points right. Certain words need to be capitalized. Names, Titles, and Locations.
I don't know about her swearing, she could for all we know, but do try to keep it to a minimum. "Damn" and "Ass" sure. The Hunters use those all the time. "Shit" and "Fuck", not so much.
Just think about this stuff okay? I'll follow this story for now, and we'll see where it goes.
Welp you caught my interest with the idea. Now to see if you can get me to stick around with a good story.
I really hope you do since way too many good ideas get a bad story.
Here, have a 100th like. Please don't abandon this fic like so many have abandoned theirs.
what happened to chapter 2. I was looking at the data for the story and it said that there was a second chapter posted. was it taken down to redo it?
Yes.
5041251
Yeah I'll be doing that its just that there wasn't a lot of conversation in the first chapter. Also I'm not an experienced writer so there will be issues but I'll try to catch them the best I can.
5046957 As long as you try, I'll keep reading.
*Gasp!*
About goddamn time! Somebody finally wrote a BL2 crossover with Mecromancer!
Hmm... Borderlands and My Little Pony. What more could you want in life? Anyways, pretty interesting so far. Can't wait to read more!
and so close to the release of pre-sequel. please continue, i find you're taste in cartoons and video games quite refreshing
More please.
If anyone has any, I'm open to ideas for the story. It might speed up the process of writing it.
Faved, but not liked. You have a little grammar to work on, as well as formatting. Paragraphs should not be huge chunks.
Hoping it gets better, though, and it seems somewhat interesting, so I'll wait to see where it goes before liking or disliking.
5062765 That's the kind of thing you should put in a blog, not a comment. That way, people will actually see it.
Gaige is best borderlands 2 character. That is all.
5062765 lol this is good so far I'll give it a like and a follow. Oh and you get instant browny points for your not so suptal? Subtal? Love of Trigun and Vash the Stampeed/The Humanoid Typhoon.
Is it fitting that the The Good Th Bad and The Ugly theme started playing as I read those last lines?
