Obviously, all they knew was a humanoid, presumably a hunter, had shot down a guardian's jumpship in the Ichtar Sink on Venus. This was presumed to be the act of a rogue guardian. And a mission had been ordered to take them out. A few hours later the crunch of boots was heard on the gravel floor before an abandoned golden age building. Dormi-1 stood in a courtyard, and pondered how he would repel them. He remembered the records of the fireteam. Three guardians: two titans, one warlock. The titans were a sentinel and a sunbreaker. The warlock was a stormcaller. The sentinel used an auto rifle, the sunbreaker a hand cannon and the stormcaller a pulse rifle. He heard voices. Old afrikaans, by the sound of it. Eventually the voices came to a stop behind him. He turned around. The records were, fortunately, accurate. The sunbreaker, obviously the leader turned the the others. They raised the weapons. A void glow was faintly visible in dormi's hands. The leader nodded. The group opened fire, the bullets, absorbed by the circular shield that suddenly extended from Dormi's left palm, like raindrops into a pond. The oppressive fire lasted a moment before the leader signaled to stop, mildly surprised at the guardian's abilities, but not fully impressed. He stepped forward, and gestured his fireteam to stand back. A hammer of seething incandescent flame formed in his hand, and he charged towards his mission objective, but as he shot, his target sidestepped at inhuman speed, leaving him defenceless as the shield folded into a spear, and shot towards the overconfident titan, impaling him and pinning him to the wall, the hammer of sol losing its flame as he started to disintegrate into the void. The warlock grunted in frustration, and barked out a command to the titan, who formed a void shield and protected the warlock as her hands began to crackle with lighting, and unleashed a swathe of arc lightning at the killer of the fireteam leader. The searing fingers of electricity seared across Dormi-1's body, throwing him to the wall, where he grabbed the spear used it as a makeshift lightning rod as a grenade of nothingness formed in his hand. He threw the grenade, it curving under the shield of its own accord, and imploding, reducing the two guardians to void mist. three ghosts materialised, nimbly floating around, scanning the area, like pixies in a little girls dream, as an exo calmly walked away, shimmering into invisibility.
