(A/n apologies for delay, I had some difficulties with my wifi in recent day)
I definitely need to get more Eridium, the few scrapes I got from the Caustic Caverns are essentially nothing. Sure Lyra is analysing them even now, but I need more for genuine testing and experimentation.
A substance that is used to seal away a interdimensional being must hold some kind of higher dimensional energy.
The only few places that Eridium could be at are:
The Eridian ruins near Tannis' current location.
The Eridian Guardians during the mission "Ghosts of the Vault".
The Vault of the Destroyer, or at least its feeding place. Since it is actually an doorway made to lure people to open the Vault ever 200 years and allow a small piece of The Destroyer's mouth to come our and devour the unsuspecting sacrifices.
This was done by the Eridians to keep The Destroyer's hunger sated and prevent it from attempting to escape The Great Vault.
That place definitely has Eridium.
I'll go to the "Ghosts of the Vault" as soon as I can. Then I'll meet with Tannis and scout the area.
Until the Vault of The Destroyer is opened and it is defeated, will the Eridium Scar across Pandora occur and appear.
All I I get are just scraps at the moment but it's more than enough to potentially enhance one piece of my gear. My weapon or my armour.
I had meet up with the ithers and we all decided to go and deal with Nine-Toes.
Since Scooter's Catch-A-Ride station was operational once again, we all travelled in the Outrunner.
Naturally not everyone could fit, so we used two.
Roland was the most experienced so he hanged on the side.
In vehicle one - I was on the mounted gun, Lilith was driving.
In vehicle two - Brick was on the mounted gun and Mordecai was driving, Bloodwing was perched on the vehicle since he won't be able to keep up.
We used the TNT detonator at the Barricade T.K. set up.
We were able to drive in there, unlike the game since it doesn't want you to cheat in a vehicle.
We had ran over a myriad of enemies but the vehicles got a little banged up.
It was still usable, just got a little dented.
We had to continue through Skag Gully on foot.
We were a great team.
We covered each others blind spots and assisted each other flawlessly.
I would rush in a shit enemies with my Muramasa blade and pistol, or sometimes using my personal Energy Shield and using my Frostbite assault rifle.
Brick would come with me and shot them in the chests and heads with his Shotgun, or would crush and break their bones and skulls with his fists and feet, or would rip them apart, I would cover him with quick shots when needed.
Mordecai would be in the rear and snipe at them.
Bloodwing would defend him or take out enemy snipers or Spitting Skags, since they use ranged attacks and are more of a threat first.
Roland and Lilith would work as a team and cover each other.
It seems Lilith would take the Agro of the targets since she can use PhaseShift are remain unharmed from attacks.
She had this level of mastery since she had also used this prior to getting onto Marcus' Bus.
This was in her comic which showed The Eldest passing on the PhaseWalk power to her as both Lilith dad died, shortly followed by the mysterious Siren only know as The Eldest.
She was also shown in the comic to be in a bar and fought against some of them.
She used PhaseWalk effortlessly and without any copldown rates, unlike the game, since obviously this is reality now.
Cooldown rates don't exist, it's more like physical or mental strain on the body or technology action skills used by the players.
She had then meet Marcus who invited her onto his bus. Then she met Roland and the rest continued until Fyrestone.
Overall, we were a solid team. Or more like they all are and I was able to understand and keep up with them thanks to my enhanced capabilities, intellect and awareness.
I was able to understand their plans just fast enough to react appropriately.
We got to the Secret Stash.
It had some guns of varying types for everybody, but i didn't want it. Mine was still far above this level.
"You are about to face your first real challenge. I hope you've toughened up enough." Angel warned us as we approached the cave.
I lagged behind as I knew Angel would contact us at this time, we were just outside Nine-Toes lair/cave.
The only difference is that there are no Vender machines here. Of course they won't be here.
"Are you worried for me? My God! We haven't even met in person yet and you are already trying to flirt with me?! Don't worry my little Angel, I Raime Virex will stand beside you are be your Knight in shining armour!"
Because she was saying this through the Siren Telepathy connection, we could have this private conversation.
"A little cringe, isn't it?" She commented in a neutral voice.
I can feel that she is incredibly flustered and was blushing deeply.
Yeah, I know what I said was a bit cringe, but I wasn't all to great in romance in my past life. I will be sure to read romance books and stuff in my spare time so I can get better at flirting.
"Meh." I just shrugged my shoulders.
"What does that mean?"
I just ignored her and repeated it again.
"Meh."
"Argh! You're still the same as ever. And speaking off, you're not getting out of explaining to me this time, just why the heck are you on Pandora!"
"Uh-um well you see, oh no *zzzt* the connection is breaking up *zzzzt* I can't *zzzt*." I said as I made a static breaking sound.
"That's not how this works! Argh! Why you! I'm going to strangle you when I get my hands on you!"
"You wish. [Connection has been severed]" I mimicked a female voice like a shutdown announcement.
As for Angel, her veins thickned as her eyes twitched as she held back a her frustrated anger behind a forced smile.
"I will definitely get you back for this, just you wait."
She had cut off the Telepathy connection.
Soon after, myself and the others had reached Nine-Toes lair.
