Tower High (26): King's Fall [Part 4]

[quote]How many Destiny players does it take to change a light bulb? [spoiler]Ah whatever. Here's the freaking [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/176176926/0/0]overview[/url] xD[/spoiler][/quote] [b]Nightly[/b]: Everyone ready? [i]The guardians all nod. Nightly leaps into the air and draws her bow, purple Voidlight seeping from the arrow tip. With a loud burst of energy, the Shadowshot flies through the air and into the cluster of worshipping Acolytes, tethering them in a web of light.[/i] [b]Storm[/b]: GO! [i]The group splits up into their separate positions. Sunny and Blades run left while Solis and Strike run right. Flint and Bubbles sit on the center plate, firing into the crowd of Thrall swarming through the cloudy gate before them. Storm, Nightly, and Violet stand beside them, shooting down Wizards and Boomers.[/i] [b]Sunny[/b]: Blades, grab it! [i]The Hunter slides through the archway, picking up the Brand. The two students make their way to the Left Totem, standing on the metal grate below the large stone structure.[/i] [b]Storm[/b] [i](across the comms)[/i]: Remember, you guys have to call out when you're switching so the people at Center know when to switch. [b]Sunny[/b]: When do we switch though? [b]Blades[/b]: After 30 seconds. [b]Sunny[/b]: ........ [b]Blades[/b]: ....... [b]Sunny[/b]: ......Guys, I'm confused. [i]Solis' voice echoes all the way from Right Totem.[/i] [b]Solis[/b]: Just suck it up, Floofer! [i]Sunny yells back at the Titan from the Left Totem.[/i] [b]Sunny[/b]: Oh yeah?! Bold words coming from a Mallet Wielder! [b]Storm[/b]: All of you, just be quiet and focus. It's been 30 seconds, so the Brand-holders need to switch with their Center plate partners. [i]Blades runs up to the Center plate as Bubbles comes down. The two exchange a high five passing by.[/i] [i]Blades meets Strike on the center plate and waves.[/i] [b]Blades[/b]: Hey. [b]Strike[/b]: F*ck you. [b]Blades[/b]: Okay. [i]A loud burst of energy shoots into the ground as the students drain their Deathsinger's Power.[/i] [b][i]------------------------ 20 minutes later ------------------------[/i][/b] [b]Storm[/b] [i](over the comms)[/i]: Alright everyone, we're almost finished! Get ready to switch. This is the last one. [b]Sunny[/b]: Oh. Okay! SWITCH. [b]Blades[/b]: No, not yet! [i]Bubbles yells all the way from center plate.[/i] [b]Bubbles[/b]: SWITCH? Blades: No! [b]Sunny[/b]: YUP! SWITCH. [b]Blades[/b]: NO! [i]Bubbles waddles down the hill from center plate.[/i] [b]Bubbles[/b]: SWITCHING, SUNNY! [i]Solis' voice echoes all the way from Right Totem.[/i] [b]Solis[/b]: DID THEY SAY SWITCH? [i]Flint shrugs.[/i] [b]Flint[/b]: I THINK SO! [b]Blades[/b]: NO! Everyone stop! [b]Solis[/b]: SWITCHING. ON MY WAY UP FLINT! [b]Flint[/b]: OKAY, SOLIS! [i]Back at Left Totem, Sunny steps off the plate.[/i] [b]Blades[/b]: Sunny, STOP! [i]Blades tries to grab him, but the Warlock steps out of his reach. Once the Warlock steps off, the aura around him disappears. Bubbles makes his way to the plate and stands next to them.[/i] [b]Bubbles[/b]: Ummm.... Where did the cloudy thing go? [i]Sunny stops and looks around.[/i] [b]Sunny[/b]: .......Uhhh...... [i]The Warlock turns and looks at Blades. Blades looks back at him. After a moment of silence, the health bars on their HUDs begin to burn away. Sunny smacks his hand on his helmet.[/i] [b]Sunny[/b]: Ohhhhhh I get it now! [b]Blades[/b]: I swear to god, you're a f*cking dumbass. [i]The three guardians begin to groan as the air around them thickens. Sunny falls on the ground, gasping for air.[/i] [b]Sunny[/b]: God... Damnit... [i]Blades and Bubbles curl up on the ground, choking as well. Storm, Nightly, and Strike gather at the other side of the barrier, looking down on the three guardians.[/i] [b]Nightly[/b]: They're suffocating! [b]Storm[/b]: It's the air. Without a Brand, there's nothing to protect them. [i]The three guardians twitch in pain as the darkness crackles around them. Sunny crawls over to Blades and Bubbles in desperation. Blades puts a hand on his shoulder.[/i] [b]Blades[/b]: Keep.... Going.... [i]A feint black-green aura slowly flows through Blades' arm and into the Warlock's shoulder. The air sizzles louder and louder until, moments later, the aura completely leaves the Hunter's body. In a burst of darkness, Blades' body disintegrates into the air, leaving only Sunny and Bubbles lying on the ground.[/i] [b]Nightly[/b]: BLADES! [b]Strike[/b]: What the hell just happened?! [i]Storm looks down on the two guardians in awe.[/i] [b]Storm[/b]: Blades got killed by the darkness but.... I think.... I think he just gave Sunny the Deathsinger Power! [i]Sunny grunts as he pulls himself onto the plate next to Bubbles. Strike's voice sounds through the comms.[/i] [b]Strike[/b]: Guys, me and Flint switched in time for Solis to drain his Deathsinger Power. Yours is the last bit we need! [i]Sunny looks over at Bubbles.[/i] [b]Sunny[/b]: Bubbles.... Ward.... Dawn.... [i]The Defender yells as he pushes himself up from the ground. Nightly whispers to Strike.[/i] [b]Nightly[/b]: What's he doing? [b]Strike[/b]: Blessings of Light. If Bubbles can hold his Ward long enough, Sunny might be able to use Radiance and reach the center plate with Blades' Deathsinger Power. [i]Storm shakes her head.[/i] [b]Storm[/b]: No. If I'm calculating it correctly, even with Radiance, he won't make it in time. [i]Strike pushes the Warlock's shoulder.[/i] [b]Strike[/b]: But what if he does? Are you willing to put more faith in a "calculation" than your friend?! [i]After several moments, the Warlock bows her head in silence.[/i] [i]Strike gazes at her with contempt.[/i] [i]In a flash of purple and orange, Bubbles slams his Ward of Dawn into the ground as Sunny activates his Radiance. The bright purple and orange colors light up the chamber around.[/i] [b]Sunny[/b]: Just hold on, Bubbles! [i]Sunny pushes through the thick air and to the center plate, breathing in the cloudy darkness all along the way. Storm looks down at the ground.[/i] [b]Storm[/b]: Sunny... He's not gonna make it... [b]Sunny[/b]: Just a little closer! [i]The Warlock presses his feet harder and harder into the dirt. Just before the barrier, though, Sunny slips his foot on the hill and slides back down to the ground.[/i] [b]Sunny[/b]: The pressure.... It keeps pushing me down! [i]Bubbles' Ward begins to shrink as the pressure builds up. The Defender grunts with concentration.[/i] [b]Bubbles[/b]: FOR.... THE.... CANDYYYYYY!!!! [i]Through all the pain, Sunny grins back at him.[/i] [b]Sunny[/b]: Hell yeah, Bubbles... [i]A wave of orange light erupts from the Sunsinger's Radiance, crackling through the air. Nightly, Storm, and Strike shield their eyes from the light. When the light dissipates, the three guardians look down at the Warlock. Spread from his back are two fiery wings.[/i] [b]Sunny[/b]: FOR THE CANDYYY!!!! [i]In one smooth motion, Sunny dashes through the barrier and past the three guardians, propelled by his wings all the way to the center. Nightly, Storm, and Strike look up at the brilliant light again in awe.[/i] [b]Storm[/b]: Angel of Light... [i]Sunny yells as he dives through the air and crashes right into the ground. Orange light bursts from the Warlock as he hits the center plate. Within seconds, the black-green aura streams from his body and cracks into the ground. The cloudy air around begins to disperse, lifting the weight from Bubbles' Ward. The Titan slumps onto the ground and takes a deep breath. A loud gong blares throughout the Hall once again as the main door door opens up to the next room. Blades respawns at the center plate, landing next to Sunny.[/i] [b]Blades[/b]: I dunno what the hell happened, but my head feels like it's being hollowed out into a jack o'lantern... [i]Sunny puts a hand on his shoulder.[/i] [b]Sunny[/b]: Tell me about it. [i]The other guardians all gather around them.[/i] [b]Flint[/b] [i](stepping into the next room)[/i]: I'm gonna go check it out! [i]The Hunter's steps echo as he walks through the archway.[/i] [i]Storm crouches down next to Sunny.[/i] [b]Storm[/b]: Sunny, that was incredible! How did you do that?! [i]Sunny smiles at Storm.[/i] [b]Sunny[/b]: I just thought of candy. [i]The Warlock turns and winks at Bubbles. Bubbles winked back.[/i] [b]Storm[/b]: Well now that it's all over, it's time for our first boss.... Apparently we have to face something called the Warprie– [i]Flint's voice echoes from the room ahead.[/i] [b]Flint[/b]: Hey guys?! I think we have a problem... [i]Storm and Strike exchange a concerned look as they all make their way to the next room. When they step through the doorway, Flint waves from up on a ledge at the front of the arena.[/i] [b]Flint[/b]: You said the boss we have to fight is called the Warpriest, right? [i]The guardians look up at him.[/i] [b]Storm[/b]: Yes. Why? [i]Flint rubs the back of his head.[/i] [b]Flint[/b]: Somehow, I get the feeling that won't be happening anytime soon. [i]The students jump up onto the ledge and stand next to him. Storm pushes past the Hunter. Lying in the ground is the body of a large, battleworn Hive warrior, stained with blood and gashes. It's the Warpriest. Storm looks up from the dead boss. Behind it is another Ascendent portal, already activated and glowing bright green.[/i] [b]Flint[/b]: ....What does it mean? [i]Storm looks back at the group, her face now pale with shock.[/i] [b]Storm[/b]: It means we're not alone.
