[b][u]CHAPTER IX[/u][/b] [u]The Queen of Mars[/u] *CRACK!* "Holy servitor! Morgiana how do you do that!?" A Cabal Phalanx lay smashed into the wall in a gruesome manner, a single girl walked away from it, not seeming to notice. "I was just born this way." she responded in a solemn voice. "You kicked him with a foot of havok! I've never seen that!" The second person was a titan as well. A male awoken, truly flabbergasted by the scene. She had sprung toward the Phalanx so quickly that an onlooker would have thought she had blinked. Before the Phalanx could block her attack with its shield, she had already jumped above it and quickly landed an arc kick into its head. The kinetic energy sent it flying into the wall. The impact killed it immediately, and left a large indent in the cement wall. "Hey Morgiana! Wait up!" the Awoken called after her, she kindly waited for him. "What's the rush?" he asked while gasping for breath, "They didn't pick a titan squad for this because we're quick like you. Where are we headed next?" She said nothing, only pointed towards a large hill of red sand. From behind it in the distance a large city could be seen. Forgotten, and entombed in the sands of Mars. [i]The Buried City[/i]. Morgiana started again towards it, noticing that her teammate had caught his breath. Jarl (Yarl) was his name. He had been on the force for years as a defender, and met many different guardians. But Morgiana was taking the cake. She spoke very little, but one could easily tell that much was upon her mind, as well as her shoulders. A burden she would speak of to no one. Her abilities are what really struck Yarl as strange. She used her feet primarily in combat, as opposed to her fists. She wasn't afraid to use her fists, her legs were just stronger. But seeing a titan use "Foot of Havok" as Yarl had called it, was just plain weird. They finally reached the peak of the hill and looked out at the city. "Ghost." called Yarl, "How many majors are left?" "Only one." the ghost replied, "You can see him from here. He is by the main viewing center entrance, and has four guards: Three Phalanxes and one Colossus." "Excellent!" he responded, "just give me my sni-" *BOOM!* The earth shook and a large cloud of dust appeared next to Yarl. "What the?!" he exclaimed. To his surprise Morgiana had sped at full speed straight towards the group! By the time the Cabal noticed, she had firmly implanted her kick into one of the Phalanx' head. The Major opened fire upon her, but she was too quick! A quick kick to the chest of another Phalanx sent it flying, the last one pulled up its shield to protect itself. Morgiana cared not. She landed an arc fist straight into the shield, and completely shattered it! The blast knocked the Cabal soldier on to the ground. Yarl shot a single sniper round into its head. The Colossus had loaded it's rockets by then, and sent them flying. Morgiana placed her feet on the Major, and pushed off of him at the same sound-breaking speed, dodging the missiles. A direct uppercut sent the Colossus into the air by at least 6 feet. She then jumped up, and landed a Foot of Havok, sending him crashing into the ground. The guards were defeaten... badly. She turned slowly to face the Major. Cabal are fearless, and so it opened fire foolishly at her. She sped behind it, and swiftly kicked the Major in the back. Breaking the spine. Yarl stood still. Completely amazed at the scene. But his amazement was cut short when two hunters appeared from the sands and walked up to Morgiana. One of them was Cayde. "Are you Morgiana, the Queen of Mars?" the exo asked. "Just Morgiana is fine. What can I do for you Vanguard?" "We got a mission, and we believe your specialties could be useful." She stared quietly at the two for a moment, then finally replied, "Very well, what kind of mission?"
