Dakota turned back to me. "Well, it's your lucky day! If you want to prove yourself to the Wolves, the Crucible is the best place to put a noob in his place." "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait! You know I hate Crucible." Blake Thrower sat forward and propped his hands on his knees. Dakota looked to Blake. "Yes, I know, but..." Dakota held his hands up and pointed to me. Morin grabbed Blake by the shoulder and yanked him on his feet. "Come on Blake. Do you really want to miss this? Dakota.. against..[i]a hunter[/i]." Colt glanced at me. "I think they like you." I glanced back at him. "You think so, too?" "Okay. Crucible it is. I have one warning. I am running Mida Multi-Tool, so if I pull out Invective, my bubble shield is ready! James, I'm talking to you." Blake accidently betrayed James because he spawned a Ward of Dawn in front of James when he shot a rocket launcher. "I hope you know I won't remember that warning." James crossed his arms because he knew what Blake was talking about. Blake dropped his head to the ground. "Sadly, James, I do." We left the Tower and flew to the location Lord Shaxx sent us to. It was the Burning Shrine on Mecury. "Sit-rep! One has Hard Light, Patience and Time, Red Death, Suros Regime, Bad Juju, and Thorn! Watch it, Thorn." James listed the weapons our opponents were using. "I don't care who got what. My Universal Remote is locked and loaded." Morin pulled out his shotgun and checked his ammo. We landed on the north side of the temple, the Sun was to our back. "Show them the true meaning of war, guardian!" Lord Shaxx's voice echoed over the comms. Dakota, Blake, and James ran for zone B while Morin, some random, and I ran to zone A. I'm not sure how "the core team" was doing with zone B, but the enemy wasn't going to kill us right off the bat. Morin wielded the Universal Remote. He could look down the sights and its range would increase. I wielded Dead Orbit's hand cannon Venation III. It wasn't an exotic but I was good with it. Our teammate, the random, carried a beautiful hand, the Hawkmoon! It was a slick weapon. Perfect hand cannon for the skilled gunslinger, and I wanted it! The barrel was silver and the grip was covered in black leather. At the bottom of the grip was a claw. It was feared amongst anyone that was forced to face it. I stared at his weapon for a good three minutes until Morin caught my attention. The base was sixty percent taken when an enemy came around a corner. the warlock was carrying a Suros auto rifle, but he wouldn't shoot since he was so far away. He stared at us from afar as I stared at him. He merely stood there, but it had me worried. I began firing, but my acurracy was horrorifying! I ran out of bullets so I reloaded. The guardian noticed this and slowly approached us hoping to get close enough to shoot. "What are you doing?! I know you are new to this, but don't waste your ammo!" Morin looked to me but his helmet hid his scowl. He looked to the person I was atempting to shoot at. He popped a shell in his shotgun and charged the guardian. The enemy raised his rifle and fired. He was going to kill Morin! Morin wasn't in range to shoot him yet, but he was getting eaten up! I pulled out a knife and held in front of me. I pointed towards my target, then slowly looked up. (I can't explain it, but I have this sixth sense that helps me judge how and where to throw my knife.) I felt that the angle was just right, and I threw my knife. I also threw my second knife as well. As Morin charged the enemy was getting shot up, my knife flew through the air over him. I saw Morin's shields break! Then, my knife made contact. The first one hit and brought down his shields. The second knife came down on his skull only a second later. The warlock fell to the ground as Morin finally got close enough to shoot him. The random didn't pay much attention, but Morin was asttonished. He slowly walked back. He held his Universal Remote with one hand as it dangled by his feet. My helmet hid my emotions but I was freaking out! That had to have been at least eighty meters! Morin finally reached zone A, at that point the base was ours. "What... was... that... bull s***?" Morin took off his helmet, showing me his emotions. "I don't know! I saw you were about to get killed so, I threw my knives." I myself did not expect to kill him. "One, that was an impressive throw. I would hate to face that. Two, Thanks for that. I probably would have died. Three, I am no stranger to running into my enemy and possibly dying. Four, I like pie. Now why are you just standing here for? Let's go!" "We got this! Move to zone C!" cried Dakota over the comms. Morin, the random, and I ran to zone C. No one was appearing on our radar, but we ran around the corner to the sound of sniper rifles! Morin and the random fell first. I raised my hand cannon but it was no good. "Do not come to zone C! It's a tr-" I tried to warn the others but I was killed as well. "Alan?! Alan do you copy?!" James called for me over the comms but all he heard was static. "Colt? I would like to respawn." That is the cool thing about having a ghost assigned to me. I can talk but no one can hear me. No one but Colt. "Okay." That was all he said. My new body dropped down ready to continue the fight! I glanced at my radar. The Wolves were at zone C. It was ours as well! However, zone B was neutralized! I ran as fast as I could. I walked down a hallway that led to zone B. There were two hunters. The two hunters that sniped Morin and I! I raised my hand cannon and opened fire! All of the bullets went into, and killed one hunter. The other, furious, charged at me with a shotgun! I pulled out a side arm and tried to lower his shields. That also ran out of bullets! The hunter was getting to close for comfort! He jumped up onto the deck I was on and raised his shotgun! BANG! The hunter fell over dead. My heart was racing as I followed the smoke trail. "Keep going hunter!" It was Dakota and his mad sniping skills! I nodded then ran off. I claimed zone B for the team right as the other team took zone A. I learned something about control. If I am capable to take a base without any trouble, it means the enemy is taking your base. Everyone gathered at zone B. "They seem to be gathered at zone A. If we come at them from three sides, we can push them against the wall, and trap them." Dakota gave us our plan. We knew our role and advanced on zone A. Dakota and Blake came from the south, James and Morin came from the west, the random, who finally decided to let us know he was a blade dancer, and I came from the north. We had the enemy surrounded! Sadly, that was when our fate went south. The warlock I killed at the start of the match jumped in the air and was engulfed by the void as he spawned a nova bomb! He had the fancy trick where it would split into three bombs. To add to situation, he spun around as he threw the bombs... one went north of their position, one went south, and one went west. We all had to wait fifteen seconds to respawn and in that time, we lost every zone. "Guardians! The enemy has taken all the zones! Take them back!" Lord Shaxx did not appreciate how sloppy that was. The score was four thousand for the Wolf Pack and six thousand, five hundred for the enemy! We had to step up our game! "Who is super charged?" asked Dakota. "Morin and I are. We planned to fist of havoc earlier, buuut, no." James pointed to Morin and himself as he spoke. "I got my bubble shield ready. Just let me know when and where." Blake's hands glew purple with the void. "I'm super charged and I believe the random is supered." I held my thumb up and pointed behind me. The hunter left. "I'm super charged." I corrected myself. Dakota cotinued. "Okay, we are all supered. Here's the plan. We will all go for zone B. Blake you will drop your bubble down with blessings of light. That will be our beachhead, so put on your Glass House. James, Morin, if the enemy come at us with heavy, it is up to both of you to, well, smash! Alan! If anyone comes close, pick them off with Golden Gun. If they kill us all and try to take back that base, I will self rez with the Purifier Robes and blind them. Everyone copy?!" "Copy!" we all said that in sync. We followed the command by the letter. We all ran to zone B and began claiming it as Blake deployed his bubble. He also pulled out the Invective. Zone B converted extremely fast. I guess it was because we all were taking it. "Heavy ammo inbound!" shouted Lord Shaxx over the comms. I froze for a second then looked at my radar. "Guys! They all went for the same crate! Y'all go get the one behind us. I'm going to steal theirs!" Before they could impose, I already left. I ran right for the enemy! When I arrived, I was spotted. Three.. two.. one.. The ammo dropped. I was losing my shields fast! I managed to take the rocket ammo! They killed me on the spot but no ammo for them! With this new advantage, we split up and went to conquer zones A and C! I followed Blake and Morin to zone C while James and Dakota went to zone A. Capturing all three bases helped us tie the score at seven thousand to seven thousand. As we took control of zone C, a titan jumped into the air. "Watch it! that's a striker!" cried Morin as he fired his machine gun into the air! Morin fired fifty bullets at the titan but he couldn't kill the man!
