Y/n Pov

Here I am. Sitting on a Hyperion train, travelling to some Hyperion outpost. The voice in my head told me to "Find the Vault of the Warrior" or whatever. Honestly? I have no idea why I am even listening to this voice to begin with. Although, I guess I don't really have much of a choice do I?
I decided to start walking through the train, maybe I could find something to eat. Going traincar to traincar, I found four other people standing in a room. One was clearly a Dahl soldier. Or at least WAS a Dahl soldier. I don't think he would be here if things were going well.
Next was a guy dressed head to toe in black, even his helmet which hid any defining features in general. Next to him was a rather short and stout man. Pretty sure he was a Truxican. Never met one before, I wonder if they all are that short?
Finally I saw a blue haired woman with matching tattoos going down her left arm. She was a siren. Not quite sure why, but seeing her made me feel uneasy. It was then the voice in my head spoke.

???:"Careful. Sirens are powerful things. One wrong move our journey will end here."

It said, real comforting voice. Real comforting. I could hear some faint music coming from somewhere as suddenly the Hyperion sign that said 'Welcome Vault Hunters' fell down to reveal a second sign that said 'To your doom! Nothing personal.' It was then a bunch of Hyperion robots had dropped down from the ceiling. It was clear to all of us that Hyperion didn't want us to live.
We all went in different directions to get away from the gunfire. Me and the Dahl soldier had ran straight back before he turned around and threw a turret of some kind onto the roof. We heard a robot behind us so he pulled out a rocket launcher from who knows where and shot it, destroying it instantly.
The siren was next to us apparently. She used her siren mind powers to lift a robot into the air and throw it out of the side of the train. The short guy jumped back into the train, not sure how he got out to begin with. He then pulled out two assault rifles and began to fire into the rest of them before pointing them straight up and unloading into the roof of the train.
A few people wearing Hyperion engineer uniforms came in from behind us. The voice then spoke to me again.

???:"Use the staff."

Probally a good idea. Drawing the staff the reddish energy fan axe blade came fourth. I began spinning the weapon, creating a small energy wall in front of us, blocking the bullets the engineers had shot at us. When they began to reload I rushed forward and sliced one in two across the chest before decapitating the other. I had improved alot since I first went down into that vault on Promethea, I was able to stay conscious for a few minutes now.
We began to move forward once again before we came to a stop in front of a car. The Dahl soldier kicked the door in before a guy in a chair started speaking.

Handsome Jack:"(Recording) It's cute that you all think you're the heroes of this little story, but you're not. Welcome to Pandora kiddos!"

The recording said as suddenly, everything blew up.

A few hours later.

I saw something that was really square. It looked like a robot. It was holding a shovel and began to speak.

???:"Great. Another dead Vault Hunter. Handsome Jacks been busy."

The robot said, it must have seen me move because it slammed the shovel into the ice before it spoke once again.

???:"Wait a minute, you're not dead! Yes! Claptrap, your metaphorical ship has finally come in!"

The robot said, inadvertently telling me it's name was claptrap.

Claptrap:"Allow me to introduce myself. I am a CL4P-TP steward bot! But my friends call me Claptrap! Or they would if any of them were still alive. Or had existed in the first place! Oh! I've got something for you!"
