Fireteam X: Book 3: Chapter 2: Trials of Kabr

[b][u]Episode 2: Trials of Kabr[/u][/b] ‎ [i]Three years ago.[/i] Kabr and his team descended through the vault, following the twisting tunnels. "It seems like these walls are Vex mainframes, but the vegetation confuses me, life shouldn't even be able to grow in this environment." Praedyth marveled. "You would just be happy to only find plants down here, would you Praedyth?" Pahanin joked nervously, looking around in paranoia. "The Vex don't value organic life like we do Pahanin," Osiris spoke without even turning to look, "They have more valuable assets than that." Osiris halted the group to a stop. "We're here." The tunnel opened up into a vast nothingness. After a brief moment, a series of rock platforms appeared out of nothingness, startling Pahanin. "Come on!" Kabr shouted, leaping from platform to platform. The others followed suit, and after a brief distance, they came upon another tunnel, this one more twisted than the last. "You're kidding me" Wei Ning growled as they trekked through this new tunnel. "How many times must we do this?" The tunnel opened into the same cavern, except there was a vast drop instead of platforms, into what appeared to be a basin of sorts. "I think that's all" Pahanin grinned, much to her chagrin. "Look down there, it's a conflux!" Praedyth shouted. "They're essential to the Vaults procedures, and they can deactivate them, we need to stop them before they seal of the vault!" Wei Ning leaped into the air and slammed down into the ground, devastating the approaching Vex with her Fist of Havok. "Two more just appeared, they really don't want us to activate something do they!" Pahanin exclaimed. The four guardians lept down to join Wei Ning. After a couple more units spawned, Kabr heard Pahanin scream in agony, and turned to see him on his knees, suffering from an Oracle's prophecy. Kabr swore, "Destroy the Oracles!" he shouted, firing his machine gun at the spawning light projections. "There are too many!" Osiris destroyed one oracle with a fireball and forced another out of existence with the push of the void, but more were still coming. Pahanin's eyes started to glow as he abruptly stood up, firing his machine gun, he managed to destroyed every Oracle in the basin before falling to the ground, spasming violently. Wei Ning went to check on him, but was interrupted by a Minotaur that stomped on her arm, breaking it. That Minotaur did not live long to celebrate it's victory however, as Wei Ning brutally beat it to death with her other arm. The enemies had stopped advancing at the moment, so the team regrouped on their fallen comrades. "What do we do?" Kabr asked Osiris. "I can kill myself, have my Ghost revive me to full strength..." Wei Ning grunted as she tried to stand up. "No." Osiris shook his head. "The energies of the Vault are messing with our Ghosts, they would be unable to revive you if you died here." Pahanin cried out in pain. Kabr thought long and hard, "Can you make it back up there?" he indicated the opening from where they had dropped down from. "Probably, might take a while though with only one arm." she grimaced. "Good, I'm going to need you and Pahanin to get out of here, I don't want your deaths on my conscious" Pahanin raised his head sleepily. "Oh no, you're not sending me out of here, you three need all the help you can get!" he shouted. "Wei Ning, if you start climbing now, you might reach Pahanin in time to wake him up." Kabr ordered, and Wei Ning started to climb. "Wake me up? What do you-" Pahanin was cut off as Kabr picked him up. "If you never see us again, tell our story!" he then hurled him all the way back up to the tunnel. Kabr turned to Osiris and Praedyth. "It's just the three of us now..." but they weren't listening, they were staring in horror at the giant Hydra that blocked their path forward. "The Templar..." Osiris whispered. _______________________________________ Meanwhile, in the present. Toland woke up to the sound of Dredgen reloading Thorn, having just shot a Knight that had found them. "Are you crazy?" Toland hissed. "You could bring every Thrall underground right to our doorstep!" "Then let them come, I just need to shoot something." Dredgen snapped, holstering Thorn. He plopped down next to Toland. They had both been exhausted, so Dredgen had offered to take the first watch while Toland had slept. "Your turn to take watch." Dredgen yawned, interrupting Toland's train of thought. "No time to sleep," Toland leapt to his feet and started running down the tunnel. "Where are you going?" Dredgen yelled after him. "Moluk's laboratory, I might have found a way to save Kabr!" _______________________________________ To be continued...
