[VHiE] Vault Hunter in Equestria - Intro

For reference, I don't want to use the name 'Vault Hunter in Equestria'
So give me some ideas because I can't think of a good one
Also yeah it moves a little quickly, but it's just the intro. I'll be taking my time with this story.

Oh, and posting these just because

>The sign on the top of the building read 'Sanctuary City Archives'
>Hanging under it was a banner, bearing the symbol of the former Crimson Lance; now the Crimson Raiders
>The banner read: 'Fight Back! Join The Resistance!'
>And that's exactly what you were going to do
>You walk into the front door and find a couple tables setup, littered with promotional propaganda-style posters
>On said posters was the man you were supposed to meet with
>Roland
>Behind the tables was a woman studying something through a microscope
>She was wearing a dark red lab coat and had a pair of goggles on the top of her head
>...why the fuck was she wearing goggles?
>She didn't seem to notice you walk in
>You clear your throat and begin to speak
"Excuse me?"
>"Yes, what do you need? If you couldn't tell I'm a little busy at the moment." she says, not taking any concentration off what she was doing
"I'm just here to see Roland."
>She looks up at you curiously
>"Roland? Oh.. You must be another vault hunter. I'm sorry but he's not here, go on up stairs and meet with Lilith, she will fill you in."
>When she finishes she looks back down and places an eye on the microscope
"Okay, thanks."
>Fuck, he wasn't here?
>What the hell
>Oh well
>You proceed to head up stairs into a hall-way
>There was a door to the left and one to the right, both opened
>You peak through the left, and it's just a mostly destroyed room, opening out into nothing

>Because, you know, the city was floating in the sky
>You'd think they might wanna close this door or something?
>Oh well, not your problem
>Moving into the other room, nothing much interesting here
>Couch, couple bunk-beds, and a giant bank vault door on the side
>You walk into the room past this
>Now this looks like a war-room
>Big interactive map of this sector of Pandora in the center, various monitors lining the walls
>On the balcony out the other side of the room were three people; two guys who looked like they were comparing sniper rifles, and a really attractive woman
>Looks like she noticed you come in
>She rolls her eyes at the other two and walks into the room
>"Sup?"
"Uhh, hey, I take it you're Lilith?"
>"Yep. You the new vault hunter?"
"Yeah, name's Anonymous, but Anon works. You know where Roland is?"
>"Oh, uhh.. sorry Anon, he's not around anymore. He was.. killed, by Handsome Jack."
"Wait, what? The man in charge of Hyperion?"
>"The very same. Thankfully he got what was coming to him. Anyway, I'm running this thing for now."
"Sorry to hear about that.. so what's the word on the second vault here then?"
>"We just found it recently. Jack opened it and released an ancient warrior. We took it down and gave Jack the defeat he deserved."
"Oh.. so it's all finished here? What about me then?"

>"Well if you're so interested in hunting a vault, we found a map with the location of a ton of vaults on all kinds of different planets around the galaxy. You'd be on your own for a while, but we'd be more than happy to send you to one."
"Seriously? Well shit, bring it up!"
>Lilith types a command into the center console and the map projects a hologram of the galaxy, marking locations of many vaults
"Oh, wow. That's crazy. So, any recommendations?"
>"Not really. There is one planet that's held my attention more than the others though."
>She points to what was probably the most distant system
>Awesome
"Looks pretty far away. What's so different about it though?"
>"It's never showed up on any charts before, as if nobody has ever been there or even discovered it."
"Really now? So that place is full of mysteries then."
>"For sure. From what we've seen, every planet with a vault that we have charted and scoped out is a habitable planet, full of life, even intelligent life. So chances are it'll be the same there. But, the choice is yours."
"So I get to choose any of these huh? Well I wasn't prepared for this."
>"Well, at least don't take either of these." she says, pointing out a few nearby systems
"Why not?"
>"We've already sent a few vault hunters to check them out."
"Hmm. Fine by me, I'm liking the idea of the mysterious far-away planet that nobody has seen before."
>"You serious?"

"Hey, sometimes I like going into the unknown. Besides, if it means less resistance from Hyperion or anyone else, that'll just make things easier for me."
>"Yeah, got a point there. There's no saying if Hyperion has been there or not though, so don't count them out yet."
"Sure. Well, when can I get going? I'm eager to get hunting."
>"Glad to hear it. We'll bring out a one-man shuttle for you and program it with this planet's coordinates. Head back down to the pad in front of Scooter's, I'll have him get one ready for you."
"Awesome, thanks. Well, nice meetin' ya Lilith, catch ya later."
>"Good hunting man. Oh hey, take this long-range echo communicator with you, you can use it to stay in contact with us."
"From that distance? Are you mad?"
>"Don't worry, your shuttle is going to leave a little something in orbit around that planet to relay the communications. It's going to send it the nearest system we have a station, and go from there."
"Oh. Awesome, thanks. Alright, see ya."
>With that, you turn to leave, but notice something from the balcony
>One of the guys had an odd looking helmet on, and it was projecting a :3 in front of it
>The other guy starts screaming at him
>"Dammit, would you cut that out!"
>...what the hell
>You've seen enough, time to get out of here
>You head back downstairs and out of the building, to make your way back to the new space-pad sticking off the side of Sanctuary in front of Scooter's shop

>When you approach, you can see a small shuttle manifest out of a little machine that Scooter was standing next to
>When he's done he walks off the pad and back toward this shop, but not before noticing you
>"Catch a ride, vault hunter!" he shouts enthusiastically
"Uhh.. what?"
>"Got my new ride all set up there for ya, course set to that there planet yer headin' to."
"Oookay, thanks, man."
>"Aw man no need to thank me, just find that vault and kick some Hyperion tail while yer at it!"
"That's the plan, if they even show up anyway."
>Scooter taps his wrench on his forehead, like some kind of salute, and heads back to his garage
"Alright, let's get going, this could take a while." you say to yourself
>You walk up onto the pad and open up the shuttle
>Fairly spacious, it'll work well enough for you
>Almost looks like this thing could split apart though, and the front of the cockpit was very well armored, even had some small thrusters on the front
>Odd
>Oh well, as long as it gets you there
>You hop on in and close the cockpit
>Pretty simple flight controls it seems
>And sure enough, the destination was set in the nav computer
>Suddenly, a voice comes over your communicator
>"Don't worry about piloting that thing, it's got a mean autopilot. Just press the launch button and it'll do the rest."
>Well gee, thanks Lilith
>Sounds like you'll get to relax on the way there

>So of course you press the comically-large green launch button and the shuttle takes off
>Once you're through the atmosphere and off Pandora, the shuttle takes some time positioning itself properly before activating the warp drive and speeding off to your destination
>You look over the cockpit some more to see if there was anything interesting in here
>You find a small compartment with a little sign on it
>There's a picture of a taco on it
>It reads 'Every ride comes with a complimentary Pimento Taco'
>...wat
>You open the compartment, and sure enough, there's a fucking taco inside of it
>Warm and everything, like it was just freshly made
>What in the actual fuck?
>On second thought, you don't wanna know
>It smelled and looked pretty damn good though
>As soon as you grab it, the compartment starts talking to you
>"Enjoy your complimentary Pimentaco!"
>It was Scooter's voice
>Pimentaco?
>Clever
>It was pretty good though
>You noticed the nav computer say it would be almost half a day until you reach your destination
>Time for a long nap then

----

>In time, your shuttle breaks out of warp and you spot a nice looking garden planet in front of you
>It was very colorful
>Kinda reminded you of Earth, it even had what looked like one single big grey dusty rock of a moon
>The shuttle makes its way closer to the planet, getting into its outer orbit
>The thrusters power down and parts of the shuttle begin to fold out

>Solar panels and large antenna mostly
>Was this thing going to act like a small satelite?
>That's pretty cool
>"Multiple Hyperion satelites detected" comes from your nav computer
"Wonderful..."
>You check the map, and you can spot just a few small ones
>They're definitely here, but probably only have a really small force so far
>Probably nothing you should worry about then
>Hmm, don't see much in the way of civilization down there
>Upon further inspection, the small part of the planet in your view that's dark seems to have a city or two
>You can faintly see light coming from a couple areas
>Before you have much time to inspect any further, your shuttle begins aiming toward the planet
>You hear things moving within the ship, latches coming undone, pressure releasing
>Soon your cockpit is launched from the shuttle and you're dropping through the atmosphere
"Ooohhh ffuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!"
>You continue to scream in excitement and fear as your pod comes down on what looks to be a small village
>Before long the lower thrusters kick in, slowing your movement
>Of course the pod still creates a small crater when it lands
>Right in the middle of this little town too
>Fan-fucking-tastic
>The pod runs some atmospheric checks, to determine o2 levels and such
>You're surprised how clean the air seems to be by these readings
>Once the shuttle deems the planet safe, it opens up

>You emerge from the pod and take a look around, taking out your trusty Jacobs assault rifle in the process just in case
>There are countless little multi-colored horses staring at you
>Okay, what the fuck?
>"It's another human!" one of them screams
>Seriously?
>That thing did not just fucking talk
>Out of nowhere, a purple horse appears in front of you
>It had a horn, like it was a unicorn or something
>Yep, just keep getting weirder
>Please, this is great
>"Don't come any closer human, you're kind aren't welcome here!" it says as it's horn begins to glow
>You gotta be kidding
"I mean you no harm little horse-"
>"P0ny! How many times do we have to tell you people, we're p0nies! Horse is offensive to us."
"Oh, well I'm really fucking sorry then, I only just got here and haven't seen any of you before. I'm just here to look for something, and I have to find it before Hyperion does."
>The p0ny stares into your eyes for a moment
>"So, you're telling me you're not with those Hyperion humans?"
"Hell no. They kinda have evil intentions, and I plan on stopping them."
>The glow around it's horn fades away
>"Hmm.. Do you mind coming with me then so I can ask you some questions?"
"Sure, why the hell not? I guess I'll have some for you too then."
>The purple unicorn begins walking away up the road, and you follow
