"2-inch barrel, fine steel trigger. A decent amount of rounds and distance." The merchant states, eyes lulled as he studied the machinery in his hands. "I'll give you $1,000 for it."

"I found this off a Badass Marauder, I'll take $1,500." Aaron argues, the merchant merely smirking in response before tossing a large wad of cash on the table, thanking Aaron for his consistent business before going on about his own.

Sanctuary was bustling with townfolk, merchants, and guards through crowded narrow streets. The only place where you wouldn't feel claustrophobic being in the center of town at the reactor, which charged the protective shield which protected Sanctuary and it's occupants.

It was indeed a sanctuary, for those who hadn't sided with Handsome Jack.

Most of the group were doing whatever past times that they did whenever they came to Sanctuary, varying from haggling with someone in the black market to flirting with Moxxi in her bar.

But for Aaron, Katelyn, and Laurence, it was briefing day. Something they've been waiting for, for a long time, vengeance burning in their hearts.

They enter a building off the center which was home to the Crimson Raiders, the main resistance against Handsome Jack and his allies, and who will be working with Aaron and the Phoenix Squad to take him down once and for all.

Yes, the name is the Phoenix Squad. Aaron was drunk that night.

A/N The author is also very lazy.

"Lycan, glad you could make it to us in one piece." Lilith greets, along with Roland, Brick, and Mordecai. A hooded, cloaked figure in the corner of the room giving him no such courtesy.

Lilith is one of six sirens, unworldly powerful when it came to magic. She is also otherwise known as the Firehawk.

Roland is a soldier and leader of the Crimson Raiders, and to many, he is a respected military man and has faced off against Handsome Jack and Hyperion in many instances.

Hyperion is Handsome Jack's company that manufactures most of the weapons and robots on Pandora. Robots, which make up most of his army.

Brick is an ally bandit captain, who also helped find the Crimson Raiders. He is also known as the Slab king for creating a slab gang of common bandit types that, in this case, are on the side of the good guys.

And Mordecai, a sniper, and an outcast who's closest fighting companion was a hawk named Bloodwing, who was also another victim of Jack's endeavors.

After some greetings, Roland, as usual, gets straight down to business. "Got something for me Lycan?"

"As requested." Aaron hands the orb to Roland with no hesitation, fully trusting the nobleman, who has saved his life on numerous occasions.

"Good work. With this, we are one step closer to taking down Jack. And actually, I have something for you too."

At Roland's gesture and rare smile, the hooded figure steps forward. Aaron arching his eyebrows as the figure inched closer, frail, some-what familiar hands appearing at the sides of the hood.

It all happened so fast, Aaron could barely wrap his head around it as the figure revealed herself.

So Katelyn was wrong.

Maybe it really did....bring her back.

Oh, c'mon do you really think I'd start off with her dead....nah, killing her off is more fun.

....I do sound psychotic my god....

Have a nice day my crystals!
