They reach the Southern Shelf, it had some signs of civilization on it.
Claptrap: Keep your wits about you minion, this glacier's run by a bandit named Captain Flynt. The jerk kept me as his torture plaything for a few months. We played games, like "dodge the blowtorch" and "don't get dunked into the pool of acid!" I was really good at the first one! But that all ends today! We're gonna kill that asshole and get off this glacier!
Jack: Attention, people of Pandora! Handsome Jack here, offering a million bucks to whoever brings me the head of the Vault Hunter who just arrived in Liar's Berg. Oh, and I'm still offering a reward for Roland, the mass murdering leader of the Crimson Raiders. Good hunting bandits!
Flynt: A MILLION BUCKS!? Alright boys this is Captain Flynt! I want you to find that Vault Hunter and bring em to me NOW!
They approach a town full of men wielding guns
Claptrap speaks into a communication device at the gate
Claptrap: Hey Hammerlock!
Sir Hammerlock: Spectacular! First Captain Flynt's bandits attack, then Claptrap shows up! I must have been horrifyingly cruel to puppies in a previous life to deserve this kind of treatment! I say Vault Hunter, could you kill Flynt's men for me?
Sam: On it!
The gate opens and the bandits notice Sam
Marauder 1: Hey! It's the Vault Hunter!
Marauder 2: Really? He's just a kid
Marauder 3: Who cares, kill him!
Sam dashes towards them and starts blasting them to bits with his shotgun, they didn't even touch him as he took care of them. He pulls out two glaves and starts slashing them to pieces, one tries to punch him only to get countered and have his neck snapped. Another bandit charges at him with his gun firing it but only to be blocked and deflected by Sam's swords, he throws one of them at the bandit right through his chest killing him and it comes back to him.
Marauder: Captain, the Vault Hunter's tearing us apart! He has some weird slag powers! He's some kind of freak! Hrrk!
The Marauder gets stabbed though the chest and falls to the ground dead, and so were the rest of the bandits.. dead.
Flynt: Dammit! This ain't over grinder!
Claptrap: Hey Hammerlock! Since my minion just saved your town, can you do your bestie Claptrap a favor and repair my eye?
Hammerlock sighs.
Sir Hammerlock: I suppose I am in your debt now aren't I? Come to my shack and I'll shall restore Claptrap's sight. First I shall shut off the electrical fence for you
Claptrap: I knew Claptrap would come around eventually! We're like two peas in a pod! Two bullets in a mag! Two cannibal midgets in a fat guy's ribcage!
Suddenly Claptrap got electrocuted as soon as he touches the fence, he fell to the ground motionless.
Sir Hammerlock: Apologies but whenever Claptrap speaks I feel my bran cells committing suicide one by one. I shall be out directly
The door opens and a man with lots of cybernetics including his arm, leg and his eye. He was wearing a fedora and had an old-timey like mustache and a monocle, he saluted you.
Sir Hammerlock: A pleasure to meet you Vault Hunter, I am Sir Hammerlock. At your service!
Sam: Hi, I'm Sam
Hammerlock comes over and they shake hands
Sir Hammerlock: Nice to meet you
Sir Hammerlock: I came out here to research the bullymongs for my almanac, but Captain Flynt's men trapped me on this glacier. Many thanks for disposing of them by the way, to survive a direct run-in with Handsome Jack and defeat Captain Flynt's bandits? Unheard of! I'm headed to Sanctuary myself, from what I hear, the Crimson Raiders could use a hero like you
Sam: I'm heading there too, Claptrap here has been helping me get there.
Sir Hammerlock: He hasn't made you want to kill yourself yet has he?
Sam: Not yet, but he can be very annoying. But he also saved me, so I owe him one
Sir Hammerlock: Now, if you could hand me his eye please
Sam: Oh! Here
He hands Hammerlock the eye and puts it back in, Claptrap jumps up.
Claptrap: Haha! I am alive!
Sir Hammerlock: Oh dear he's talking again..
Claptrap: Minion! I got my eyesight back! And you're far uglier than I remembered! Time to join up with the Crimson Raiders in Sanctuary! This glacier's full of nothing but murderers and jerkbags, like that Hammerlock dude!
Sir Hammerlock: I'm standing right here "dude"
They go to turn on the power
Sir Hammerlock: I see our fearless leader Jack is looking for you. Charming fellow isn't he? Spouts drivel about "bringing peace to the frontier" then shoots unarmed men, women and children like it's going out of style! Bah! I'm spouting exposition again aren't I? Apologies!
Hammerlock turns on the power
Sir Hammerlock: That should do it! So how are you enjoying Liar's Berg? This town used to have a spectacular amount of hustle and/or bustle before its denizens fled to Sanctuary to escape Jack's army. Most of them anyway, Captain Flynt's men killed anyone who stayed
Claptrap: Flynt and I had a gentleman's agreement in the past, I give him the loot from the bodies Jack ditches in the glacier and he promises not to torture for hours at a time. Then he does it anyway, but that ends today! We're gonna take him out, steal my ship back and sail to Sanctuary!
Flynt: Here's what gonna happen Vault Hunter. My first mate Boom Bewm is gonna kill ya, Jack's gonna pay us, and I'm gonna play hopscotch in your chest cavity!
Sam: Why don't you come down here and fight me yourself?
Flynt: If you can get past my best men, then maybe you'll be worth my time
Sir Hammerlock: Good look, I shall meet you in Sanctuary
Sam and Claptrap head off to Claptrap's ship, and they could already tell it wasn't going to be easy.
