Titan Story Chp 35: The End of a Team...

Zavala slowly lead me down the hall as Cayde walked close behind us, ushering other Guardians out of the way to give us more room. I kept my face hung low as I attempted to control my breathing to stop more sobs from escaping. A few Guardians sparsely lined the hallway leading up to the courtyard, gathering items and rewards from various bounties. Several gave looks of concern while others ignored us entirely, which made me glad. We began to hobble up the steps slowly as I turned to look at Eris. Her head was cocked in a strange angle, staring directly at me. She whispered something in a cryptic language and looked down at the orb in her hands as we rounded the corner out of her sight. Once we hit the top of the steps leading put into the main courtyard, a loud scream pierced the air. Everyone's heads snapped towards the sound as guns were drawn, knives were out and Light began to pulse around everyone. Zavala looked worridly towards the Hanger. "I don't like this." "The screaming or the fact that Hunters have their knives out in the Tower?" Cayde said, with his own knife and gun drawn, his normally sarcastic tone turning serious. The speaker system made a shrill noise and Amanda Holliday's voice boomed out over the sudden silence. "Guardians! Code Red! Rogue Guardian in the Tower, designation Rex-5743! He has escaped his holding chamber! Assist is required! I repeat, assistance is required!" The speaker shut off with a loud click. Cayde rushed forward, yelling at several Hunters and Titans to follow him. Zavala started to set me down against a wall but I grabbed his shoulder and gave him a cold stare. "This... is my friend... I need to help... or atleast be there." Zavala simply nodded and picked me up, hoisting me over his shoulder and jogging forward towards the Tower's Hanger behind a dozen or so other Guardians. A few followed for a moment but stopped and blocking the hallway as a secondary wall. The yelling continued as Zavala and I entered the Hanger. Many of the Guardians before us had made it down the staircase and into the docking station. The platforms were up and the entryways leading out to the City had been barred shut. Down below several of the Guardians were surrounding Rex. His voice was a nonsensical mixture of screeches and words as he lashed out at anything attempted to move close but his legs failed to work properly as if fighting himself. Holliday continued flipping switches and barking orders at Frames as she shut down the Hanger to accommodate for the sudden outburst. Zavala got us closer to her as she spun around and looked. "Zavala, any way we can shut this sucker down?!" "We have several dozen Guardians down there and more on the way." He said, resting me on a bench. "We will handle this." "Just be careful..." I said, holding my side. "His power core is loose so it could explode on us." "That is the least of my worries. Any Defender can contain a fireball. It's more what he holds within him that worries me." Zavala quickly walked downstairs and stopped just at the edge of the staircase, acting as a wall with Cayde right beside him, aiming down sights. The room was filled will yelling and barking of orders until one in particular stood out. "REXXY!" My head snapped back in time to see Kate charging into the Hanger, towing a Titan trying desperately to stop her. She paused only a moment to get her bearings then quickly leapt over the railing. The Titan gave a yelp and let go of her, shifting his attention to keeping himself from falling without his jetpack. Kate dove downwards, stuck a 3 point landing then ran forward towards the crowd. "Rexxy! Are you ok?!" Several of the Guardians looked and began to back up to stop her while others tried to keep Rex contained. "Um, Kate-y dear, nows not the time for sob stories." Cayde said worriedly. "Guardian! Stand down now!" Zavala barked. Kate practically ignored them as she moved forward. "Rexxy please! I can get you out of here! It's ok!" Rex, who had previously been ignorant to any sort of communication, suddenly paused. His body stopped spazzing and he slowly turned to look at Kate, his eyes a strange mix of white and blue. I managed to stand up and quickly began to hobble forward and over to the steps. "Kate don't!" "Guardian!!" Zavala's voice expanded to a loud boom. "Stand. Down!!" "Rexxy..." Kate's eyes streamed with tears. "Please... Come back..." Rex twitched slightly and his lights slowly turned blue. His voice glitched a phrase and he very slowly began to walk to Kate. Guardians everywhere began to draw weapons and stand still. "Guardians! Do not..." "Wait!" Kate yelled, cutting Zavala off. "He's responding! I can calm him! Just let him!" "Guardian, this is un..." "PLEASE! IT WILL WORK!!" Kate yelled in anger. The room fell silent except for Kate's sobs and Rex's shambling movement. Several of the Guardians turned their heads and looked at Zavala, guns trained on Rex. Zavala's face grew a bright purple as he glared at Kate. Cayde looked at the situation and calmly spoke. "Keep your weapons trained on the Exo... Worst comes to worst, we can rez the good one..." Zavala gritted his teeth. "Cayde, no! This cannot..." "Again I say..." Cayde said, glancing at Zavala. "Worst comes to worst... My girls can handle themselves." Zavala shook in rage, looked around, sighed and nodded. Every Guardian shifted their attention to Rex. The ones down in the docking area slowly backed away from Kate and Rex, forming a semi-circle around them. A few on the balcony moved to a better angle and pulled out scout rifles and snipers. The room grew dangerously quiet. Rex gave another strange noise and shuffled forward. Kate smiled and nodded, holding her arms out to him. "That's it, Rexxy... I won't let them hurt you." I managed to get beside Zavala and watched with intense fear. My body shook from pain and rage for the circumstance and my breath came out in quiet ragged bursts. Rex was now 10 feet from Kate. 8. 6. 4. Infront of her. His hand was pointed towards her as the other hung limp by his side. Kate simply smiled and nodded. "That's it... It's just me Rexxy... It will be ok." She took a step towards him and gently wrapped her arms around him. He stopped and dropped his arm. He made another series of screeches and noises that vaguely resembled a word. "K K Ka a a a t t ttt te.." Kate choked on her sob and held him close. "That's right... It's Kate... You are fine, Rexxy." "R ru u u uuuuu nnn Fr o oooooo..." Rex's body shuddered in a strange way and white lights began to shine over him. "Kate!" I yelled. She glanced over at me, her face glowing with pure joy. It then slowly contoured in horror and pain as a loud shriek of metal pierced the air. She glanced down to see Rex's hand, thrusted inside of her, hanging on to her core. Everyone gasped and tensed as a low laugh came from Rex that was not his own. "Well well... Seems we were... excited to get thrusted..." His face warped to a sickening grin. "Re... Rex...y.." Kate looked up at him in horror. "Look at me, b****." He grabbed her head and pressed it close to his face. "Do I look anything like your idiot lover?" Kate sobbed and tried to pull away but 'Rex' pulled her closer. "Prepare to open fire!" Zavala yelled, holding his hand up. 'Rex' paused and looked at Zavala. "Wait a moment will you?" He yanked at Kate's core. "I haven't even removed her innocence yet." Zavala paused and growled angrily. 'Rex' grinned. "Guess you understand what happens if I pull out too early..." He gave a laugh and put Kate inbetween him and the crowd. "Let her go!" I yelled as I stepped forward, being blocked by Cayde. "Or what? She's said it herself, 'I can get you out of here.' And I plan to capitalize on that fact." https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/208708543/0/0 link to chapter 34.5 https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/220836438/0/0 link to chapter 35.4
