“So... you want to hear a story, eh? One about treasure hunters? Haha! Have I got a story for you! Pandora... This is our home. But make no mistake- this is not a planet of peace and love. They say it's a wasteland; that it's dangerous; that only a fool would search for something of value here. Then perhaps I am a fool. But do not be fooled about what Pandora appears to be. There was a legend... Many ponies tell it. The legend of the Vault. My sire would always go on about the Vault, even with his dying breath. Advanced alien technology. Infinite wealth. Fame. Power. Mares. So you can understand why some little foals who hear the stories grow up to become Vault Hunters. Well, I have a story you may not believe, but I tell you it is true. The legend of the Vault is real! And it is here on Pandora. And a... let's call her a 'guardian angel' appeared to guide the Vault Hunters to their prize. The tale begins right here on Pandora, with the brave Vault Hunters, the Guardian Angel, and most importantly, me... “
A Mercenary, a Thief, a Mechanic, and a Soldier.
Four very different ponies with their own colored pasts, yet one quest to find the fabled Vault of Pandora will bring these four together, forging bonds of friendship that have the strength to change the fate of the world itself. But will greed, spite, anger, and mistrust tear them apart?

I've been planning this story for over a year now, but writing is slow going. Chapters will be posted as I'm able and there will probably not be a very regular schedule.
Cover art made by me, italicized writing altered slightly from the original game text
sweet. Borderlands crossover XD
I love that front picture
Interesting setup.
Makes me wish I still had access to the first Borderlands game.
Cool cover art!
But Brick isn't Brick enough
Lovin' the rest though, Especially Lilith.

Don't worry, Brick will definitely be "Brick" enough later. I just don't particularly like writing characters who are just brute force.
Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying the rest and I hope you keep reading :3
Ahh. I've been looking for a good Borderlands 2 fix, but the first one is good enough. Imma see where this goes.
5728797 Umm... this is kind of embarrassing, I was referring to the brick on the cover art, I hadn't actually read the story yet.
But I have now, and Brick doesn't seem too off character-wise, apart from he seems less reckless and fight-happy as he did in Borderlands 2, which considering he was largely mute in the first one, I take as an accurate depiction of his character, but it works well enough.
Though... where's Bloodwing? In the opening video it was implied that Mordecai has had him since childhood.
And its a curious to have the vault-hunters come separately, considering that the vault-hunters were all childhood friends, once again judging from the opening cinematic.
I am also surprised for the lack of a comedy tag, considering this is Borderlands.
But heh, definitely seems interesting enough, tracking.

Oh, excuse me. That was just as much my error as yours XD Brick was probably the hardest to make look like the game character for me. I'm not entirely sure why, though...
And holy shit, you're right >_< I have a little different origin story for Bloodwing, but other than that he's pretty much the same bird... which is probably why I forgot him since I very rarely use him in-game XD This will be remedied either in a revision or in Chapter 2, wherever it fits best.
I will definitely add a comedy tag! I thought I'd gotten everything, but I'm glad you pointed that out to me now :3
