The Vault Hunter (A Borderlands 2 Story)

Best Minion Ever

While escorting Claptrap to his ship, Sam gets another message from Jack.

Jack: Hey! How's it- god these pretzels suck. How's your day been buddy? We haven't really talked since I left you for dead? Hey, you think you'll freeze to death out there? Nah, probably not. The bandits will get you first. My day? It's been pretty good. Just bought a pony made of diamonds. Yeah, because I'm rich! So you know. That's cool. Kay bye.

There were bandits in a little town up ahead, Sam easily kills them all as Claptrap watches.

Claptrap: Minion! What have you done? These were human beings! With lives! With families! Ah totally kidding! Screw those guys!

As they go on their way, Jack messages Sam again.

Jack: I'm rockin' my brain trying to think of a name for that diamond pony I bought. I was gonna call it "piss-for-brains" in honor of you but that just feels.. immature. Hey maybe "Butt Stallion?" Nah that's even worse. Tell ya what I'll give it some more thought.

There were more bandits up ahead, Sam proceeds to take them all out. He even smashed a guy's head into a giant metal pike in the ground, Jack came in again and brought in Butt Stallion to say hello and Sam finds himself in front of a huge cannon.

Claptrap: It's Boom Bewm! AHHH!

A man was in the cannon

Boom: Light the fuses bitches!

A small man jumped up high to reveal himself, it was Boom's little brother Bewm. Boom fires the cannon and Sam had to get behind cover as the blast destroyed everything in front of him, Bewm came to him and started blasting at him with a shotgun. The pair of them were tricky, but Sam was able to kill Bewm and his way over to Boom. The cannon was tearing everything apart, but it did have a weakness. It was very slow, Sam snuck behind it and Boom lost track of him.

Boom: Where are you?

Sam climbs onto the cannon.

Sam: Right here

He stabs Boom in the chest and throws him onto the floor.

Claptrap: Well done! They sure said "boom" a lot.

He approaches a gate, it wouldn't open.

Claptrap: Oh! I have an idea! Use that cannon to blast open the gate! But don't do it until I'm out of the way! Understand? If you shoot the gate now, that could cause serious damage to me! So don't do that! I'm just standing here to show you the area you should shoot AFTER I move away, which I will, after I am-

Sam sighs and just shoots the gate, Claptrap was covered in black smoke but once it cleared, Claptrap was gone.

Sam: Uh oh..

Sam goes off to search for Claptrap

Claptrap: So uh.. I might have tried to stage a mutiny on Captain Flynt's ship before the flash-freeze. Which explains why his men are currently beating the crap out of me. Right guys?

Marauder: SHUT UP!

Claptrap: Okay!

Flynt: So Claptrap's got a new friend huh? I gotta say, I miss the little hunka junk. The noises he made when we set him on fire.. brings a tear to my eye

Sam had to fight his way through some bandits and managed to catch up to Claptrap, a bunch of bandits were curb stomping him which Sam did find amusing. But he had to save him, he killed the bandits and checked on Claptrap.

Sam: Hey, you okay?

Claptrap: I am now! Suck it Flynt! My minion is a bonafide badass!

Claptrap lead the way to some stairs, and he got frustrated.
