James and Osiris then walked through the main area of The Tower. James’s eyes wandered and looked for Ana. Osiris chuckled, “Looking for her? Why?” James’s face flushed, “Just wanted to say hi…” Osiris shook his head, “Tell me, when is your birthday?” James groaned, “And what does this have to do with Ana?” Osiris then made his way to the railing that overlooked The Traveler, “Just answer it.” James growled, “In a week…December 25th…” Osiris raised his eyebrows and looked at him, “Christmas? How cute. I take it you two are going to plan a date on that day?” James sheepishly replied, “…If I could have the night off from training on that day that would be nice…” Osiris then placed his hand on what he called a brother’s shoulder, “Yeah, you’d have to just have to do do a extra day of work” James sighed, “Thank you” James then heard a deep voice, a male one at that, “Hopefully it doesn't interfere with how she preforms in the field.” James growled, “Dredgen.” James then turned around and kept his hand on the rusted gun thats made out of pure scraps. Osiris eyed James, then Dredgen, Dredgen wore the Dead Light Cover helmet and the Crota raid armor. “C’mon we are in the Tower, you can put your hand away from that weapon of yours.” Dredgen chuckled. “What do you and Dredgen have beef?” Osiris asked as he glanced at James. “We are rivals in the crucible” Dredgen chuckled as he patted James shoulders. “Well to be exact, friendly rivals. Right James?” Dredgen proceeded. “A little too competitive Dredgen…” James growled, “Now where is Ana?” “Out in the field, she wont be back till tonight.” Dredgen shrugged. “Alright…I’ll be with Osiris…somewhere. Where are we going Osiris?” James asked. Osiris chuckled, “We aren't going anywhere, what you need is a weapon before you can even think about going out in the field.” James rolled his eyes, “Right…” Dredgen then scrubbed James’s hair, “You’ll be fine, after all that rifle of yours is effective. A Hand cannon shouldn't be that much harder?” James chuckled, “Yeah, I guess. Hey we still need to 1v1 again Dredgen.” Dredgen chuckled in return, “Yes we do, listen James I need to check on Ana. I promise I’ll tell her to see you tonight.” James nodded and walked to the Gun Smith with Osiris. Osiris looked at Banshee and smirked, “I need your finest weapon parts for hand cannons. I am teaching James here how to make a Hand Cannon.” Banshee eyes Osiris oddly, “And you are?” Osiris groaned, “The Vanguard Commander, The Traveler, whatever you want to call me.” Banshee shrugged, “Its 500 glimmer for pack of 25 parts.” Osiris looked at James and asked, “How many parts do you need?” James smiled sheepishly, “1,000…I like messing around with certain parts for a certain feel…” Osiris mumbled a few words as he paid the 20,000 glimmer to Banshee and stowed the parts away in organized bins and hauled it to James’s room. —————————————————————————————————————————— The Shinarian King walked out of the Vault of Glass and to a deserted apartment complex near the Asylum Crucible arena. The Apartment was close to a cliff overlooking large mountains, volcanoes and Vex structures. He took off his helm and showed his half-exo face that was black with yellow eye. His other half was human flesh with a blind eye. His dark brown hair was freshly cut and was still available on both sides. He opened the apartment door and smiled. “Rin, I am home!” He said as he looked around the apartment. A little girl then fell from above the staircase and ambushed her dad on the back. The Shinarian King then turned around and caught her in his arms. “Hey sweetie” he smiled at his daughter and kissed her forehead. His daughter smiled back. She was a mix of Japanese and American and wore jeans and a light brown t-shirt. Rin rested her forehead on her fathers and smiled, “Did I do good?” The Shinarian King nodded, “Carful on the mount. Don’t tighten your wrists or you are at risk at fracturing them.” Rin nodded and slowly climbed down her dad. “So, how’s Shade? Have you two been working together more?” The Shinarian King asked. The 8 year old replied, “He’s getting big…so I put him outside as you asked…” The Shinarian King smiled, “Well one day, he’s going to get big, like you and the more you two work together, the more you bond. Mind showing me what you two have been working on?” he asked as he walked outside. Rin stepped outside and whistled a certain tone and saw a 5ft tall Ahamkara that has a 25ft wing span fly to her. “How old is he? 7?” He asked her as The Ahamkara landed and bowed respectfully infant of it’s female mistress. Rin rubbed the top of his head and replied, “He’s turning 8 soon…and we’ve almost mastered the teleportation trick with the blighted energy.” The Shinarain King chuckled, “Let me see.” Rin the rested her palm on the Ahamkara’s forehead and turned Shade into a Taken Ahamkara. The Ahamkara took flight and Rin did a wrist flick making the Ahamkara go invisible temporally ad the Ahamkara darted down. When Shade touched down, he was back to normal. The Shinarian King stood there in shock, his past self was good, but not even he could preform such feat at a young age. He looked at his daughter and scrubbed her hair, “You excited to be a older sister in a week?” Rin nodded as she pet Shade, “Is it a boy or girl?” Her father looked at her and sat down in the grass, “It’s a boy and looks like he does have light capabilities. You two are complete opposites and its adorable!” Rin chuckled, “Any names for him?” The Shinarian King chuckled, “You are going to name him” Rin’s eyes widened, “Oh…” The Shinarian King’s GHOST then spoke in the voice of James Stryker. James (rather a older form of him) said, “Levi, it’s Tera! She’s in labor and wants to see you ASAP!” The Shinarain King screamed of joy, “YES, I AM GOING TO BE A FATHER OF A BABBY BOY!” he then picked up his daughter and spun her around. “I’ll be there ASAP Speaker!” he then ran back to the apartment, grabbed his helm, put it on and ran to his jump ship with Rin. “He’s a week early!” Rin cried as she ran with her dad to the ship. “ I know!” He replied back as he climbed into the ship and placed his daughter on her lap. “You want to fly?” He asked as he fired up the engines. “I’m 8….is it even legal?” Rin asked as she gripped the controls. “Hey, I’m here to help you. I’ll help you with speed, you just control the movement.” The Shinarain King smiled as Rin pulled the ship off the ground and to the sky. “Steady does it…it’s just like a Ahamkara.” He smiled as he increased the speed of the ship. “Is it ok to be nervous?”Rin asked as she pulled into space. “Of coarse! I was when I learned how to fly. All you need to know is that I trust you.” The Shinarain King said as he relaxed his shoulders and launched the ship into hyper-space. ——————————————————————————————————————— Tera cried loudly as she did the final push to push out her newborn son. She heard the heavy footsteps of someone coming closer. “Levi that better be you!” she cried as she continued to groan as she pushed. “Deep breaths Tera, he’ll be here soon” a Doctor said as she held Tera’s hand. Leviathan ran in without his helm or hood on and looked at his wife. Her blonde hair, all messed up and her eyes? Full of crimson fire that not even the most fierce gunslinger could achieve. He always melted when he saw her. He ran up to her and smiled with tears in his eyes. “Tera…I’-” Leviathan spoke before she abruptly slapped him. “Asshole!” Tera growled as she pulled him close to kiss him. Leviathan, confused kissed back. Tera flinched at the metals touch, which she knew Leviathan was rather sensitive about. She gripped the back of his head, kissed him and pushed one last time and the baby was out. Tera breathed heavily and relaxed her body from the 3 hour hell that is labor. “So…what are we naming him?” She panted. “Let me Rin and lets see.” Leviathan said as he walked to get Rin from the main Lobby. He looked down at his daughter and asked, “What do you want to name your half-brother?” Rin replied, “I don’t know…”she then walked in the room and with the help of Tera, she held her half-brother in her arms and said, “I like the name Xues”
