Fireteam X: Book 3: Chapter 1: The Waking Ruins

[u][b]Episode 1: The Waking Ruins[/b][/u]‎ [i]Three years ago.[/i] Kabr approached the two guardians, his old mentor, Osiris, and his student, Praedyth, the Hunter, the first one Osiris had mentored. They were deep in discussion, probably about the rumors they had heard about the vault, and what they thought they might encounter. "Some of the stories keep mentioning companions turning to stone, the survivors kept on rambling about a vex 'medusa'..." Praedyth murmured, twirling his knife around his fingers. "You mean Gorgons? Interesting that the Vex would have that type of power, to freeze our very existence." Osiris seemed ecstatic. Kabr knew his mentor had been studying the vault for years, and had finally succeeded in pressuring the Speaker into an expedition after the events of Twilight Gap. "A Gorgon? A snake haired women who's gaze turns men to stone. I would have thought the Vex did not conform to our mythologies." Kabr grasped his former teacher's hand in comradeship. Praedyth nodded at Kabr, out of respect for his peer. "Actually, I have reason to believe that the Vex have influenced our mythology, not the other way around." Osiris grinned. "There is still so much I don't know..." Kabr placed his hand on his friend's shoulder, "we will find out old friend, soon" "Kabr!" he turned at the sound of Pahanin's voice, "the sun is gonna go down soon!" Praedyth swore, "The Vault will only open during the daytime!" "Alright everybody, get to your sync plates, you know the drill!" Kabr barked out the order, and the team split, Wei Ning and Pahanin going to the left, Osiris and Praedyth to the right. Kabr took the middle for himself. slinging the Auto Rifle from across his back, he unloaded a hail-storm of Void rounds into a unit of Goblins, before the rifle was sniped out of his hands by a Hobgoblin. Kabr swore and pulled out his personal Hand Cannon, Fatebringer. After two shots to it's critical point, the Hobgoblin exploded, wiping out several Harpies with it. Hearing the whir of joints, Kabr threw up his Ward of Dawn, barely managing to block the Praetorian's deafening assault. He counted to three as the Minotaur variant charged into the ward, meeting it's assault with a shotgun to the face, disabling it for good. Leaping up onto a pillar, Kabr stared at the spire rising from the centre of the Ruins. Looking to his right, he saw Wei Ning brutally pounding a Praetorian with her fists, electricity arcing through it's systems, while Pahanin fired his machine gun endlessly. Looking to his left, he saw Praedyth whirl in a tornado of arc energy, his Timepiece Pulse Rifle spraying down Harpies and Goblins while Osiris utterly vanquished the Praetorian, channeling both Void, and Solar light from his staff, pausing to fire his fabled Scout Rifle, the Fate of all Fools. The spire started to pulse with light, causing the bronze discs of the gate to groan with age as they began to fulfill their purpose for the first time in a millennium. _______________________________________ Meanwhile, in the present. Toland and Dredgen dragged an unconscious Kabr through the hive catacombs. "Do you mind me asking what the hell is Gulrot?" Dredgen grumbled as Kabr's arm started slipping from his grasp. "Gulrot, Unclean is the Hive's version of a horror story, it's practically a zombie of filth. It can't be killed and it's mere stench will nearly kill any Guardian." Toland shifted Kabr's body, distributing the weight between them. "Will he survive?" Dredgen found an alcove, and motioned to Toland to place Kabr down there. "I don't know... we don't have the medical experience to save him conventionally, and in the time we could get him back to the tower, he would have died twice. It's up to him now" _______________________________________ To be Continued...
