[spoiler]This is a collaboration with FJFSOM656's story, A Titan Story. The characters from A Titan Story are strictly FJFSOM656's. I suggest checking his side of the story.[/spoiler] "Alan, you screwed us all!" yelled Colt as he pointed at me. "Me?! You blew the coin into the statue!" I rebuked. "Um, Blake? Are you with us?" asked James once again equipping a rocket launcher. Blake shook a little, staring at the beast. "Uh... uh... well ah..." Doc floated over and jabbed his neck with a needle. "OWW!!" "He is now. There's a very heavy Darkness looming so I've added another dose of that experiment just in case." Doc laughed and floated away. "One of these days..." Blake grumbled. "Don't tell me you're going d*** mode again?" I grunted. Blake gave me a sideways glance and shook his head, pulling out his scout rifle. "D*** mode activated..." I whispered as I looked at the Knight and drew my hand cannon. "So ah... who's this?..." Charles asked. "THAT" said Natasha, pointing at the glowing Knight before them. "Is Crota, the son of Oryx, Slayer of Light, etc." "Oohh.... Yea ah... can can we... Stay here?..." Charles floated behind Josiah. "Wait! Slayer of Light? What are we doing fighting him?!" asked Pinea in a frantic by a silent Morin. "Pineapples, you're a fruit. You are perfectly fine..." mocked Colt. "STOP CALLING ME PINEAPPLES!!" she screamed. Rex shook his head and drew his hand cannons. "Always wanted to kill a god." "Well, let's make the Vanguard proud." Dakota sounded rather ticked off as he pulled his sniper from his back. Kate giggled and drew her knife. "This will be fun!" "I doubt you can even comprehend this 'fun.'" muttered Natasha as she leaned up from the wall. Angelica glanced around and pulled out a shotgun. Blake sighed. "Well guess I gotta make the first move..." He dashed through the shield, slid a little on the soil and spawned a Ward of Dawn out in the open, between the two rock pillars. The Hive roared, echoing loudly in the hallway as he slammed the sword down, causing large amounts of Wizards and Thrall to spawn. "My turrrn!" cheered James, almost singing. He rushed out of the hallway, already launching rockets. Everyone else quickly hopped down and engaged the enemies, hiding behind cover or within the Ward. Morin activated his super and rained down hammers while James and Rex picked off small targets covering the others. "So..." Laurentine asked crouching down to turn invisible. "How do we kill this thing?" I squated down beside him. "What little I know about Hive tells me that Deathsingers are crucial to Hive deities. Those wizards might be the Deathsingers..." I looked to my side to find that I was alone. "Where'd he go?" I looked around to find Laurentine appear on a rock, hitting the wizards' shields with his sniper. Josiah chuckled and said something, but I didn't hear it. Blake barked at James and Morin. "Careful out there!... And be sure to spawn orbs for me, the Ward is taking a beating!" He looked to me. "If I recall correctly, he can only be damaged by a Hive bearers sword after his shields are dropped..." "I call the sword!" I yelled before anyone could object as he rushed forward to find the Knight. Dakota sighed angrily and picked off the weakened Wizards with his sniper. Morin threw several more hammers, spawning orbs of Light around before deactivating his super and taking cover. "D*** it Alan don't... ah whatever." Blake picked up the orbs and spawned another Ward just as the last fell. "Josiah you take next Ward!" Josiah dodged in and out of the Ward, picking off enemies. A tombship shrieked into existence. Its underbelly glowed as a large Knight, wielding a large sword appeared. It looked at us and slowly marched forward, it's sword scrapping the ground. "Alan, I think someone else should take this!" yelled Dakota as he dodged out of fire. "I got this. I learned sword combat at the League of Blades." I said, approaching the Swordbearer and dodging it's swings. "You had your a** kicked by a girl!" shouted Colt. Natasha grumbled as she blew off the head of an Acolyte. "D*** right he would..." "You used knives! Not a f***ing greatsword!" Yelled Blake as he fought off a Knight that managed to get into his bubble. The Knight roared then suddenly went limp as Kate gutted it sides and wiped her blade clean. "What's wrong with knives?" "Nothing! But it's a big step from a greatsword!!" Blake shouted. "Yeah yeah! I'll show you!" I killed the Swordbearer with the aid of Rex. I quickly tried lifting the sword, barely managing to get it to my shoulders before I fell backwards. James gave a sad sigh and picked the sword up, helping me up, and pushing me towards the steps. I approached the god-like Knight bravely and swung fiercely, only to fall sideways from the sword's massive weight. I managed to stand back up as the Knight gave an odd laugh and putted me away from him. Angelica yelled in fear as I crashed into the back wall. The massive Knight gave a bellowing laugh that rang in everyone's ears. I looked up, slowly as if in a daze. "Wuh? What happ- Why?" Josiah glanced at me. "You almost died because of Colt." "There seems to be a recurring pattern here." said Charles. "Colt, you should really take better care of your Guardian, if not then you will have to get another and they may be worse than the one you have now... Keeps me going." "You son of a..." started Josiah. "LANGUAGE!" Susan barked. I tried to stand up, but winced in pain in my chest. "Ow!" I glanced to Colt. "Sup..." I looked back to Josiah. "I can believe it..." He leaned back down to rest a bit. "You may want to be ready to move soon." warned Josiah as he shot another Thrall. "This Ward lasts for a few seconds more." "Hey guys do we actually have a plan for this?" Laurentine asked as he blinked back into existence. "Alright..." I managed to stand up and double jumped behind a rock. "Well, in all fairness... No." said Dakota. "Whoa, Cap. Isn't that the Purifier Robes?" asked James. "Yeah. Why?..." Dakota looked around, their minds connected. "Okay. I will run up there, use Radiance and blind them. Try to deal as much damage as you can. Josiah? Any objections?" "Um... O... Ok?..." Josiah was confused. "Why?!" Yelled Blake. "WHY?! What about the Light sucking DEATH MONSTER over there?!" "Do you have a better idea, Blake?! If so, speak up!" yelled Dakota. Natasha scoffed. "We just need to hit it hard." Her fingers flared with sparks. "I can clear a path." "Natasha's plan makes sense. Get everyone to focus fire on Crota then have someone grab the sword." Rex reloaded his hand cannon. Kate grumbled a bit. "What do we use?" "Rockets, supers and the like. Whatever we have." Rex replied. "That's... atleast something, I can get behind that." Blake loaded his shotgun. "Who's a good swordsman?" I asked holding my ribs. "Dakota, it's some form of ancient relic so you'd be the first pick." Blake hid behind a rock. "Ward drops in 5 seconds." yelled Josiah. Dakota channeled Light to his chest. "Get ready to burn these bas-" "LANGUAGE!!" cried Susan. "Rockets ready!" shouted James. "Golden Gun available..." I groaned. "I'm ready." said Morin disturbingly cheerful. Angelica nodded a little, weakly. Rex nodded, his eyes burned a bright red. Laurentine disappeared from view and ran off. Kate simply giggled. Natasha looked about and gave a small chuckle as her fingers cracked with electricity. "Well then..." Clouds formed over head and spun in a slow circle as lightning began to swirl around her forearms and hands. She moved forward and dropped her hand, releasing a loud crack of Arc energy.
