[spoiler]All characters and references belong to BraveCole. This story is non-canon, as will be explained in the last installment.[/spoiler] [spoiler]And... we're back. After 2-3ish weeks. Again.[/spoiler] [i]Ikora is pissed.[/i] [i]Papers are thrown onto the ground, sparks are flying, and Ikora is sweating like a madman. Or a madwoman. Doesn't really make a difference. Beside her is Zavala, attempting to calm her down.[/i] Ikora: Where is he?! Zavala: Professor BraveCole was sent with a transmitter onto his Ghost. You wouldn't think we would send him alone- Ikora: Zavala, I asked a simple question. Where is Professor BraveCole? Zavala: According to my scouts, in the Vault of Glass. Ikora: What? Recall him, now! Zavala: I did. He must have muted me or something. Ikora: Zavala, you know as well as I do that Ghosts are not able to go mute. Zavala: BraveCole does have ways to mute us, that clever young bastard. [i]The battle is progressing in the Templar's Well. Fexil has popped hammers to roast some Harpies, Rakkl-2 is running around, slamming Oracles with the Relic, BraveCole, despite knowing he has to bring the kids home, is attempting the bring the two kids to safety. The Kinderguardians, obviously, are panicking. mybeary is dead, because the Templar teleported onto him. Good grief.[/i] Ventis: Oh my, what's happening? Dawn: I-i-i-i-i d-d-on't k-n-nn-ow!! BraveCole: Get to cover! I don't want to mourn over your -blam-ing dead bodies! Rakkl: One more Oracle round! Fexil: Get ready! [i]BraveCole grabs the kids and brings them to the back of the arena, where the Templar's puny deathrays are blocked. An Oracle spawns, and an eye is shown peeking through.[/i] [i]RJ has a depressed look on his face, as if he cannot do anything to save them. He steps away from the OracleVision TV, and sits down. The figure beckons for RJ to sit next to him, and so RJ moves.[/i] RJ: I want to help, but I'm dead. This sucks. ???: You said it. Anyway, I've got a plan. RJ: What is it? ??? I've noticed sometimes that the portal, for a split second, open up in our timespace pocket and lead us to the real world. Of course, it's only up for a split second, and these interdimensional rifts are fragile, so we need to do it fast. RJ: If you know about it, why didn't you escape? ???: Because you can only escape to your own world. I saw many worlds, but if I had tried to pass through, I would have gotten knocked back into here. RJ: So we have to wait until a portal opens in my world? Great. ???: Yeah. Quite a wait. Of course, this bullshit has quite a low chance of success, but I think we can do it. [i]As RJ and the Figure talk about the plan, Professor BraveCole pops his bubble. The Kinderguardians are shooting the Templar, whom is now distracted by Rakkl-2. Fexil is dropping the Gjallarhorn onto the Templar, like there's no tomorrow. Empty synthesis canisters are scattered throughout the battlefiel. [/i] BraveCole: I got Weapons in the back! Fexil: Thanks, but I just ran out of ammo! Rakkl-2: Wow. Use a special. Fexil: I had none when we started, you jerk! Rakkl-2: Then that just means you suck. Dawn: I-I-I could p-p-place the next b-b-bubble n-e-ext... BraveCole: Good. Does the dead person have a self-rez? mybeary: Call me by my name, please! BraveCole: I don't know how to say it. Rakkl-2: It's because Mr. Bean over here is gay. mybeary: Wow. Screw you too. Rakkl-2: No. That's your job. mybeary: No, I'm a Hunter. I can't self-rez and screw you over there. Ventis: This is getting annoying. Oh, Minotaurs are coming up the stairs! Fexil: I can get them, hold up. [i]Rakkl-2 is doing a surprisingly good job holding down the Templar's teleport, for his first attempt this week. The Templar is almost dead. [/i] BraveCole: Templar's almost dead! Ventis: Come on! Fexil: Do we have another tether? Rakkl-2: He died. Boo-hoo. Fexil: It's fine, he's collapsing! Rakkl-2: Cool. Oh -blam!- Fexil: Velohan! Take the relic! "Bark": Sure. I've been sitting here a while now. Rakkl-2: What? Nah! I'm good, my friends! Fexil: You're absolute. "Bark": Gimme that relic. Rakkl-2: Fine. Fexil: Join us for damage! Rakkl-2: No need! [i]Rakkl-2 shoots his Gjallarhorn. As the rocket hits the Templar's head, mini seekers eject from the explosion and begin pelting the Templar, and with that, the Templar has fallen. mybeary has risen, but gets pushed off the edge by Rakkl-2.[/i] mybeary: -blam!- Rakkl-2: hahaha! Ventis: An Auto Rifle. Cool. Dawn: I-I-I got a H-Hand C-Cannon. It l-l-looks p-pret-tty cool! mybeary: Vision of Confluence. Oh, I'll just dismantle this. Ventis: Wait! Save that for RJ! mybeary: Sure. What, who's RJ? [i]The atmosphere goes dark. Dawn looks down, about to cry. Velohan kneels. Ventis looks to the side, and Rakkl-2 walks toward the door.[/i] mybeary: Did he disappear? Ventis: You could say that. mybeary: Oh. I'm sorry. Fexil: Yeah. BraveCole: -blam!-, I need to bring you guys back, in about now! Ikora: And we thought that we'd have to drag you away. [i]Everyone looks back. A squad of six, perhaps seven fireteams walk towards them. Zavala's expression is cross, and Ikora's expression could tell anyone that she's lost her shit.[/i] BraveCole: Hello Ikora. No, Zavala, I did not mute you. Zavala: Then why weren't my calls getting through? BraveCole: Because your phone is shit. Get Verizon man. mybeary: lol. Ikora: mybeary, I am ashamed of you. Rakkl-2: Because he's gay? Ikora: Stop that. That's not funny, Rakkl. Rakkl-2: With a name like that, I'm influenced that the guy is gay. Ikora: I thought I told mybeary here to scout the Plaguelands? mybeary: And I did. Here's a report on it. Ikora: This report is about the effect of Macoroni and Cheese on SIVA Cache Keys. mybeary: Two times the cheese! Zavala: On many different levels, guardian. Ikora: On another note, where's the third student of yours, BraveCole? What happened? BraveCole: I told him to play outside. Ikora: We didn't see him. BraveCole: Wow, you sick bastards. You landed on him! Ikora: The Vanguard knows how to land. BraveCole: err... Ikora: We will arrest you BraveCole, if a student has died. BraveCole: -blam!-, Run!!! [i]The fireteam runs from the Vanguard, who is in hot pursuit. Taking the secret passage, BraveCole and the others attempt to lose the Vanguard in an endless maze of heights and drops.[/i] [i]Meanwhile, Cayde-6 and Shaxx are walking on Venusian soil. They are currently scanning the anomaly on Maat Mons. But the anomaly won't let them scan it. [/i] [i]And they never will.[/i]
