The two titans looked around, counting the stealth vandals that were surrounding them. Blake and James reloaded and cocked their rifles. Neither the guardians nor the vandals attacked. "Hallway closed off by burning skiff. The hanger leads off a cliff. No other exit. James, we got this!" said Blake keeping his back to James'. "Well... Doc, Susan, standby for guardian resurrection." James looked to the ghosts flying around them. "Don't worry! I got little bandages and hydrogen peroxide!" said Susan sarcastically. "And I got the syringe, saw, and trash bag!" finished Doc. The room went quiet. Blake and James looked at each other with fear in their eyes. "Sometimes, I hate your ghost..." said James. The, potentially hundreds, of vandals charged at the titans! Blake and James fired simultaneously! James sawed vandals with his auto rifle, and Blake picked them off one by one with his scout rifle! The vandals seemed to keep coming! James threw a flash bang as he reloaded. Blake, watching James' back, punched a vandal going for a killing swing! Blake crouched down and reloaded his scout rifle. James spun around to shoot off anymore vandals. The barrel, however, was right over Blake's head! He stood up and banged the side of his helmet. "I CAN'T HEAR, D*** YOU!" yelled Blake, deaf from the rapidly fired bullets. As they were fighting off the horde of Fallen, two skiffs hovered next to the hanger. Both skiffs dropped seven vandals and one captain, the total fourteen vandals and two captains marched to the titans! James charged them and used his super! Any Fallen not vaporized by the electricity were thrown against the walls or out of the hanger, doomed to plummet to the jagged world below. One vandal got sucked into the intake of the engine! One skiff lurched backwards, then disappeared below the balcony. It trailed smoke as it collided with the mountain, causing the building to shake and part of the roof to collapse. Blake and James shifted the tin and got up. James looked out the hanger. The remaining skiff was charging two large, orange torpedoes at them. "Blake! Ward of dawn!" cried James. There was no comment, or shield. James looked at Blake, Blake looked back. "Oh, yeah. Still slightly deaf..." James threw out his arms like he was trying to spawn a ward. Blake took a second, but he finally realized what James was doing! Blake spawned a ward around the two. The skiff fired the torpedoes, but they weren't aiming for the titans, they were aiming for the support beams holding the facility to the mountain! The building shook so much, the two titans fell over! They got back up and looked at the skiff. It fired again! Part of the balcony fell off, and the room started to lean forward! Dead bodies and broken metal slid to the valley below! They two began sliding! James grabbed Blake's shoulder to get his attention. Blake looked at James as he pointed to the skiff. Blake looked to James and nodded. Just before they fell off, the titans jumped onto the skiff! Blake and James broke off the cockpit hatches and shot the pilot servitor! The skiff was randomly weaving through the air! The forward thrusters kept the skiff in flight, but there was no steering! The skiff veered east, to where the largest concentration of both Fallen and guardians. Blake and James stumbled as they tried to keep balance on the skiff. Commander Saladin was standing on a raised rock shooting dregs below him! He lowered his weapon as he watched the display in the air above. The skiff then veered back west to the screeching building. The steel frame was strained too much! The building broke and fell into the valley! Parts of the steel flew in the air in the sudden release in pressure. One piece hit the engines of the skiff! Blake looked to James. "Uh oh!" "We're going down!" yelled James. The skiff crashed close to the commercial and residential part of Twilight Gap. James got up looking around. The skiff crashed in a nearby field, no houses were hit. He looked around for Blake when he noticed a small fire on his shoulder! He frantically slapped his shoulder, putting it out. "Hey! Thanks for your help. I'm perfectly fine." Blake stood up in the middle of the fire and debris. "Now I know for sure that you are okay. If you were seriously hurt, you wouldn't say THAT." James looked to Blake with his arms crossed. Blake flipped off James. "Well, your hearing is back." continued James. They grabbed their weapons and scanned the land for any Fallen. In the distance a young child, carrying a gun, was running from a dreg. "Ah s***! What the h*** is that kid thinking?!" James ran for him as fast as he could! The dreg tackled the kid and pulled out a shock dagger! Hearing the child's screams enraged James to press on! James punched the dreg so hard, its chest cavity collapsed. But it was too late. The kid was covered in blood from the puncture wound! James picked up the kid and ran him to the nearest building! The kid, still gripping the gun, was going in and out of consciousness! "Hey! Stay with me! Stay with me, kid!" yelled James. The kid's head went weak and fell back, and the kid dropped the gun on the road. James ran inside an abandoned building, dodging high caliber rounds! James set the kid's body against the wall, then sat next to the window and shot incoming Fallen! "Sitrep?!" yelled Blake running into the building as well. "Shock dagger. Through the right lung. He's dead, we need to get him to the Tower. He has the Light." said James leaning out of the way of a wire rifle. As the titans defended the building, a ghost flew by the door. "Hey! Get over here!" yelled James. "Me?" The ghost flew back in front of the door when a cat jumped onto it. "Ahh! Get it off! Get it off!" James yanked the cat off and put it on the ground. "Blasted devil with claws!" said the ghost watching it walk away. "See if you can bring this kid back! And get him to the Tower!" said James reloading. The ghost scanned the body and looked to James. "He has the Light." "Good! Now the Tower!" The ghost transmatted the body, then flew off! A spider walker marched down the street! It was hunting those titans! "Blake! We got to take out that walker, then we got to get back in that fight!" James pointed out the window to the flaming facility on the mountain. "Alright! Hold up, I don't have any heavy!" shouted Blake looking at his rocket launcher. "S***! Neither do I. I don't have a super either." said James worried. "I have a super.?." "A ward?!" "Yeah. Just get the main cannon's attention." "I can do that." James ran outside and threw rocks at the tank. The tank stopped its march and looked at James. It deployed a mini gun and opened fire! James ran ahead of the bullets. The tank charged the torpedo cannon and fired four rounds! James jumped up over the shots. The tank had enough. It pointed a laser at James' chest. James just stood there. "I hope you know what you are doing Blake." The main cannon was at 93% charged when Blake jumped up and deployed a ward of dawn over the cannon! He jumped off and hit the deck! The tank fired, and exploded! The ward concentrated the round on the tank itself! The two hopped on sparrows and drove back to the war zone. The walls and floors were covered in blood, red and blue! The war was still raging, no one was winning! Guardians in jet fighters flew overhead attacking the ketches above! One jet fighter was shot down by a skiff and crashed into the titans on the ground. Another guardian was spinning out of control and crashed into the hanger of the ketch! The crash caused the whole underside of the ketch to be engulfed in flames! The anti aircraft turrets of Twilight Gap turned to the damaged ketch and fired. The onslaught of bullets destroyed the engines! The ketch nose dived into the war zone! Commander Saladin watched the ketch fall. It crashed into a convoy of twenty spider walkers! The explosion caused a mushroom cloud and a shockwave that traveled for miles! "Brace for impact!" yelled Commander Saladin over the comms. The smoke cleared and everyone stood back up. The Kell of Kings looked to its demolished army, then to the guardians! It raised its swords in the air and howled! The Fallen retreated immediately.
