Before we get into the Prologue, a quick shoutout to @Metal_Dragon_117 for guessing this story's crossover combo. {Titanfall 2 x Male Pilot Reader x Borderlands Series}. Enjoy!

So, you want to hear another story, huh? One where the very fate of Pandora hangs in the balance? If not, too bad - I'm telling you anyway.

First, there was the Vault, an alien prison opened with a mystical key. To the warriors who opened it, the Vault was just a container of tentacles and disappointment. They vanished into the wastelands, certain that the Vault held no treasure at all.

They were wrong.

The Vault's opening triggered the growth of Eridium, a priceless alien element. Soon, the rare and valuable mineral emerged all across Pandora. Its appearance attracted many.

Including... the Hyperion corporation. They came to Pandora to mine Eridium, and bring order to the savage planet. Through their excavations, Hyperion uncovered evidence of an even greater Vault. Their leader vowed to find it - to use its power to civilize the Borderlands once and for all. But Hyperion weren't the only ones searching for the next Vault's alien power.

The call of danger and loot is not so easily resisted. Certain warriors came to Pandora in droves to uncover its hidden secrets. Some would call them adventurers. Others call them fools. But I... call them Vault Hunters.

Our story begins with them and with a man named Handsome Jack...

But our story adds another man... A man with skills and prowess in the borderlands unlike any other! Robotic mechs in which no technology could compare, not even Hyperion and their loaderbots.

This is the story of a birthing Legend among the Borderlands...

"The Pilot of the Borderlands."

{Narrator POV}

In a normal looking town, one not destroyed or pieced together by random scrap like a certain planet, we find a young man by the name of (Y/N) (L/N) and we find him walking down a street with several bags of groceries in his hands. (Y/N) reaches his destination, which was his home, and enters the house as it was empty. (Y/N) enters the kitchen and places the bags of groceries on the table until he takes a look at a nearby picture frame with a photo of a younger version of himself and two adults with him. Who they are, you ask? Well, it's quite simple. The two adults were (Y/N)'s parents, and to answer another question. They are no longer around due to an accident that happened years ago, leaving (Y/N) by himself with no other living family member to take care of him. (Y/N) stares at the photo for a few minutes longer as he feels sadness and loneliness without his parents.

Placing the photo down, (Y/N) puts away his groceries as he sets up what he needs to make dinner for himself, but quickly sets up his gaming system nearby with two of his favorite video games, Titanfall 2 and Borderlands 2, which he's replayed several times with the other Borderlands games. Once making his dinner, and playing a few hours on both games, (Y/N) finishes both activities and readies himself for bed and lays down. (Y/N) feels his eyes slowly gain heaviness and lies quiet as he starts dreaming of a new life.

~Timeskip to Next Morning~

Morning arrives, as (Y/N) groans knowing it was going to be another day. After a quick yawn, (Y/N) dresses himself decently, and emerges himself into the kitchen where he makes a quick breakfast before leaving the empty house. Once outside the house, (Y/N) decides to walk around the town which nothing ever happens much... Or so they thought.
