This is where things start to get really different from the original story

Sam walks over to Claptrap's little trash home.

Roland: FYI.. it may take some serious convincing to get Claptrap to head to Thousand Cuts

Sam: Hey Claptrap

Claptrap: Minion! Let's go to Thousand Cuts!

Roland: Or not..

Claptrap: I enlisted you as my minion, then Angel just happened to attack Sanctuary. Don't you get it? Jack was coming after me! It's time to take the fight to him!

Sam: Heh, whatever you say buddy

Claptrap: I'll meet you in Thousand Cuts

Sam: You got it!

Sam heads to Thousand Cuts and meets up with Claptrap who was putting graffiti on a wall near the Hyperion barrier.

Claptrap: Ready to go?

Sam: You know it! Let's steal ourselves a Vault Key!

Claptrap: Yeah! I already started my attack! I'm gonna tag every inch of this mountain if it's the last thing I do! Let's go!

They approach the barrier and Claptrap goes through the forcefield.

Claptrap: Hey! You comin' or not?

Sam: Non-Hyperion entity remember?

Claptrap: Oh right

Claptrap shuts down the forcefield and Sam enters the base.

Brick: Got some buzzards heading your way Slab!

Buzzards fly above, ready to fight.

Suddenly bots and Hyperion soldiers approach and aim their weapons at Sam and Claptrap.

Claptrap: I will defend you to the death minion!

Suddenly the bots open fire.

Claptrap: OH GOD NO I WON'T!

Claptrap cloaks and hides.

Sam: It's alright buddy, I'll take it from here. Thanks

Claptrap: No problem! Take 'em down for me minion!

Claptrap runs off as Sam charges into the fray and starts destroying the bots and soldiers.

Jack: Oh, you made it past the security wall huh? That's, ah, real cute. Course the bunker's still going to obliterate ya, but nonetheless, cute

Sam pushes through the base, swarms of bots and soldiers attack him but he was making his way through. The buzzard air support was making things a lot easier. Mortars were fired down and Sam barely dodges them, he took a moment to catch his breath.

Roland: I'm makin' my way up the cliff side soldier. Keep pushing your way up and I'll meet you at the chamber!

Sam: Got it

Sam keeps making his way up the mountain. Surveyors, soldiers, badass loaders, constructors were all in his way. But thanks to his skills and power along with Brick's air support, he kept pushing through.

Jack: You know how I got that Vault Key? Well, a few years back, Wilhelm and I paid a visit to your little friend Tannis. And we beat her for hours. We ripped it out of her broken fingers. But we let her live. Because that's what heroes do. They show mercy

Sam: You sure didn't show mercy to the people in New Haven

Jack: Those bandit scumbags got what they deserved
