oh... THAT fireteam.... Scene 8 They stood awkwardly in front of the Vanguard, awaiting orders. Ayria coughed nervously; they had been training for weeks now, preparing to board what was referred to as the 'Dreadnaught.' Apparently when they had taken down Crota, his dad, Oryx, got extremely pissed off and crossed galaxies with his giant spaceship to get revenge. Cayde-6 finally broke the silence. "Well, as you can see, this guy Oryx wants to 'Take' our light." he said nonchalantly. He pressed a button, and a image of the Dreadnaught came up. "With all due respect sir, don't all our enemies want to take our light?" Sanders pointed out. "Well, yeah, I guess. But this guy-" Cayde was interrupted by Eris Morn, who came and set her glowing rock on top of the projector and effectively cut off the image of the Dreadnaught. "He's taking enemies we have already faced and is giving them new abilities, then facing him against us. He wants to take guardians and do the same." Eris stated darkly. Ayria shivered. The Taken Guardian- it already was confirmed. She wondered why Sanders wouldn't tell the vanguard. "Get your rock off my map!" Cayde muttered angrily, crossing his arms like a spoiled child. Eris frowned. "Alright. But if we want to pit these three against Oryx, they're going to need exotics." Ikora spoke up; "And where are we going to acquire the exotics?" she questioned. Zavala nodded in agreement. "We can't just give them exotics. How do we know they'll be able to handle them?" Eris grinned the slightest bit. "You'll just have to trust." Ayria, Sanders, and Ralph all quivered with excitement. They were going to get exotics...for free? Zavala grudgingly unlocked one of the several crates and pulled out what looked to be an ancient blue rifle, which he tossed to Ralph. "The.....the Zhalos Supercell...." Ralph spluttered, running his hand down the gun in awe. "It's only because you can't call the Storm. Understand?" Zavala instructed curtly. Ralph nodded in understanding and embarrassment. Zavala tore open another crate and pulled out a silver handcannon, with feather designs engraved into the barrel. He tossed this one to Sanders. "The Hawkmoon." Sanders gasped, aiming it at an imaginary foe. "One of the hardest hitting handcannons out there. May it give you luck." Cayde pointed out, seeming a bit worried. "Do take care of that-it's from my personal stash." Sanders nodded and clipped it to his side. Zavala reached into a third and final crate and picked up a seemingly heavy gun. With a grunt he tossed it to Ayria, who caught it with ease. It was blue, and had a rabbit-like symbol emblazoned on the handle. "The Jade Rabbit. One of my personal favorites." Ikora stated, walking slowly toward Ayria. "It's a bit on the heavy side, so-" she stopped abruptly at the sight of Ayria handling the gun like she would a feather. "But that doesn't really seem to be a problem." Ikora muttered, stepping back. They all stared at Ayria, who was handling the obviously heavy gun easily, before slinging it onto her back. "What?" she asked in confusion. She then frowned and put her hands to her hips. "Stop staring! I never thought the vanguard would be perver-" Sanders gave a false laugh and slapped his hand over her mouth, muffling her next words. "Thank you, vanguard, for the exotics. We will be going now." he stated, turning Ayria around and frog-marching her to the staircase. Ralph followed uncertainly. Zavala turned to Cayde and Ikora. "They're an odd bunch. Why can't we send Saladin or Ravien?" he complained. Cayde sighed. "We need a team that's a little rough around the edges, a bit more 'creative' if you will. Because Oryx is going to throw all sorts of crazy and twisted stuff at them and do you know what he won't be expecting?" "What?" asked Ikora and Zavala simultaneously. "A team that's going to think outside the box, a team that's not going to be bound to 'procedures' and 'order'." Cayde coughed slightly and mouthed the word 'Zavala'. "What did you say?" Zavala muttered angrily. Ikora covered her mouth suspiciously and even Eris seemed to be trying to hide a grin. Cayde turned to Eris astutely. "Oh- and get your rock off my map!" As you guys know, the Oryx raid is impossible to complete with just three people. (Well, unless you've done it before and have 300+ light. Then you can three man it, but whatever) And so.... may I introduce the three guardians that will join them.....*drum roll*....ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls...may I introduce.....THE READERS! *fireworks and confetti* Yup, that's right folks! The first three people to comment using this format: Name: Class: Fav. Subclass: Primary: Special: Heavy: Helmet: Arms: Chest plate: Legs: Class item: Personality: Ghost name/personality: Likes: Dislikes: Sentences describing your guardian: [b]IMPORTANT NOTE[/b]: You cannot use any raid gear or swords because... well, they haven't done it yet. Ya get me? As I was saying.. the first three commenter's guardian will be used for the Oryx raid! *More confetti and fireworks* I will private message the three first commenters with a short description of your guardian to see if I got it right. Also, these next scenes may take a bit longer than usual to come out because of the create-a-guardian and that it's the Oryx raid. It's gonna take a while, peoples. Annnnddd it doesn't help that my accessibility to wi-fi(the life source of all I do) may be hindered; but in the meantime I'll try and create short stories to keep you guys entertained. And maybe even some character art??? Anyways, cya on the Dreadnaught, folks! By the way, why do the readers get confetti and fireworks and not me? I'm going to talk to management... -Zebra, out- Chapter Index--------> https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/157266003 1st: RatedLight6126 2nd: (Spooky)Dudeman917 3rd: OutsideRocket24 The slots are filled, folks! There will be more 'Create a Guardian' to come eventually, so sit tight if you missed it!
