"Me?! You blew the coin into the statue!" He 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 giggled a little and floated away. "One of these days..." Blake grumbled. "Don't tell me you're going d*** mode again?" Alan grunted. Blake gave him a sideways glance and shook his head, pulling out his scout rifle. Alan muttered something under his breath as he looked back to the Knight and drew his 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 me and shook slightly. "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, slide a little on the earth and spawned a Ward of Dawn out in the open, between the two rock pillars. The Hive beast's roar echoed 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 lobbing a rocket downstream. 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 fry via rockets and bullets. "So..." Laurentine asked crouching down to turn invisible. "How do we kill this thing?" Alan 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..." He glanced to the side to find Laurentine missing. "Where'd he go?" He glanced around to find Laurentine appear on a rock, his sniper ringing loudly at the Wizards to take their shields down. I chuckled and provided cover fire for Morin. "He does that." 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 at Alan. "If I recall correctly, he can only be damaged by a Hive bearers sword after his shields are dropped..." "I call the sword!" Alan yell 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 chunked 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!" "Alright." I moved beside him and ducked 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." Alan 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 as he directed his attention back to the enemies. "Yeah yeah! I'll show you!" Alan brought down the Swordbearer with the aid of Rex from afar. As the body disintegrated, Alan quickly tried lift the sword, managing to get it to his shoulders before falling backwards. James gave a sad sigh and picked the sword up, helping Alan up and pushed him towards the steps. He approached the god-like Knight and swung fiercely, only to fall sideways from the sword's massive weight. He managed to stand back up as the glowing Knight gave a smirk and putted Alan away from him. Angelica yelled in fear as Alan's limp body crashed into the back wall. The massive Knight gave a bellowing laugh that rang in everyone's ears. "F***!" Blake rushed out to retrieve Alan. I quickly took his spot and spawned a Ward before Blake's timed out. I picked up orbs and glanced back at the medic as he frantically looked over Alan's body. "Colt, why isn't he reviving?!" Blake half dragged his companion's body back to Ward. "Huh? Oh, am I supposed to get him?" asked Colt, oblivious. Blake growled angrily and pulled a medic pack from his inventory, strapping it to his fist. "Clear!" He roared as he punched Alan's chest hard, bringing him back. As Alan gasped and coughed, Blake leaned forward. "Remind me to have Doc experiment on your Ghost later." He went right back to shooting, helping anyone who was overrun. Alan looked up, slowly as if in a daze. "Wuh? What happ- Why?" I glanced at him. "You almost died because of Colt." "There seems to be a recurring pattern here." Charles slightly became visible from the pocket he was hiding in. "Colt, you should really take better care of your Guardian, if not then you have to get another and thet may be worse than the one you have now. Keeps me going." "You son of a..." "LANGUAGE!" Susan barked as James dashes into the Ward for cover. Alan tried to stand up, winced in pain. "Ow!" He glanced to Colt. "Sup..." Alan looked back to me. "I can believe it..." He leaned back down to rest a bit. "You may want to be ready to move soon." I said as I 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..." Alan 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. "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?..." I leaned back a bit in confusion. "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." "Thats... atleast something, I can get behind that." Blake loaded his shotgun. "Who's a good swordsman?" Alan asked holding his 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." I said. Dakota channeled Light to his chest. "Get ready to burn these bas-" "LANGUAGE!!" cried Susan. "Rockets ready!" shouted James. "Golden Gun available..." Alan said. "I'm ready." said Morin disturbingly cheerful. Angelica nodded a little, weakly. Rex nodded and his eyes burned a bright red. Laurentine disappeared from view and ran off. Kate simply giggled with glee. 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. My HUD began to spaz out slightly as her helmet glowed a bright blue. "Ladies first." She moved forward and dropped her hand, releasing a loud crack of Arc energy. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/187921741/0/0 link to chapter 27.7 https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/194826836/0/0 link to chapter 27.95
