The Holodome Onslaught begins with Axton and Gaige announcing their return to Pandora from Vault Hunting on Epitah. When they learn that Athena is telling her story, they decide to listen in alongside Tiny Tina but want to hear the tale in the fastest way possible by skipping everything but the violence. While Athena tells the shortened story, each round offers optional bonus objectives based on the events in her tale.
