//------------------------------// // Prologue // Story: Borderlands: Rise of Equestria // by Playtindo //------------------------------// The intercom system of the Sanctuary II was playing the evening news when it was interrupted by the captain's fanfare playing, signaling an announcement. "Attention all hands, we are approaching the planet. The ship will remain in low orbit while a small shuttle is sent down to the closest settlement. Commanders Axton and Maya will lead the expedition team to the surface. That is all." The intercom returned to the news as a Crimson Raider squad began to suit up for the expedition to the surface. They walked towards the shuttle as the two commanders approached. Axton, the former Dahl commando was carrying two turret boxes, a Dahl assault rifle, a Maliwan fire pistol, an adaptive shield, and a set of transfusion grenades. Maya, the Siren was carrying multiple Maliwan SMG's of all elements, an Infinity Pistol, an adaptive shield, and a set of experimental Lightning Bolt grenades. The squad got to attention as the duo approached, only for Axton to moved towards the shuttle. "What are you all waiting for?" He shouted as he boarded the shuttle, "We got a vault to find!" "Yes sir!" The squad replied as they boarded the shuttle. As the ship took off Maya couldn't shake the feeling that they would just find a vault on this world.
