**This Series is in many points of view. In this chapter it's from JJ's view**
[b]I am so pissed off right now.[/b] From Chase's taunts, to Blake roasting me after I rage quit and left the rumble match. I'm about to punch that a**hole in the face.
I better stay away from them for a while. You'll never guess who I ran into at the Tower. Mia.
This is good because I need to talk to someone about the vision I saw before I was revived in Venus. She knows Sarah better than Mark-54 and Cody combined.
"What do you want?" Mia asked angrily.
"Heeeey, uh, eh, well..." I stuttered.
"Spit it out, JJ."
"I kinda want to talk to you about this one vision I had, not too long ago."
"Not interested."
"But-but I may have seen Crota in this vision and-"
"Shh. Shh. Shh. Shh. If I'm right, what you're about to say is top secret, only between me and Sarah. Follow me because we can't have anyone know this or know that you know this," Mia whispered.
She climbed up the tree over by Banshee-44, all the way up to the top branches. I followed.
"Okay, keep your voice as low as mine, got it?"
"Got it."
"Good. Did Crota call Sarah his sister in the vision?"
I nodded my head.
"Okay. Time for the explaining part that you must remember and not tell anyone. So you know that Sarah and I are twins. Well...I never admitted this...but... Sarah and I are also daughters of Oryx. Oryx is also Crota's father."
"What? I thought Crota was apart of the Hive."
"He is. So is Oryx. I have no idea why Sarah and I aren't. However, since we were young we both hated the Darkness. We had to escape the Dreadnaught in order to follow our dreams, to destroy Oryx!"
"Dreadnaught?"
"Oryx's ship. Anyway, until the last attempt we never were able to leave. The Deathsinger twins, Ir Anûk and Ir Halak, would prevent us. Sarah always has nightmares about the battle. Anyway, we escaped. Unfortunately, Oryx cursed us as we escaped. With that curse, Anûk wove a prophecy that would destroy or strengthen the Light when it happened. Now, I fear that the curse could be focused on Sarah."
As Mia ended the story I heard yelling.
"I scored more in Rumble! I'm the reason that Hunter rage quit!" Cody yelled.
"He rage quit because I ninja-bagged him!" Mark-54 argued.
"That one Warlock rage quit because I used Fel-Winter's Lie!"
"Stop! Both of you! Cut it out!" Sarah intervened.
The two ignored her.
"I was using the Thorn!" Mark yelled.
"I was using grenades!" Cody replied.
"You're just as bad as JJ and I, or Delphi and Flame!" Blake added.
"No, we're worse!" They yelled at him.
I climbed down from the branch. They were still arguing. Now Blake was in the argument. Sarah tried to get them to stop. They kept ignoring her. It kept going on and on until Sarah collapsed.
Blake gasped. Mia climbed down from the tree.
"Now look what you've done!" I shouted furiously.
"Sarah?" Cody asked concerned. He touched her cheek. Her eyes opened.
Her eyes were no longer the warm hazel color I had come to love. They were purple, and flaming. Her hair began to spread out in the air. Wings made of fire that were the same color of her eyes grew. She floated into the air, levitated by some weird power.
This power was not Light. It was Darkness. Sarah was possessed! Her voice changed into a deeper tone.
[i] "I am the Phoenix of the Hive. Daughter of Oryx, the Taken King." [/i]
"The curse!" Mia shouted.
Sarah moved her palm and lifted Mia in the air. She moved her palm towards the vault, and Mia's body slammed into the side of the vault.
Mark ran to help Mia. Every other guardian at the Tower stared at Sarah. Zavala, Ikora, and Cayde-6 ran out to see what was going on.
I began to sing without thinking.
🎶"Para-para-paradise. Para-para-paradise. Whoooa. Ohh. Whoa ohh ohh. Para-para-paradise. Para-para-paradise. Para-para-paradise. Whoa ohhh. Whoa ohh ohh."🎶
The song made whatever was possessing Sarah released her. She looked at Mia, then at all of the guardians staring at her. She realized what happened.
"What have I done?" she asked fearing herself, "I-I'm a monster." She cried and ran off. She jumped off the Tower.
Cayde's ghost began to play taps. The Hunter agreed this time, he thought Sarah was dead.
"Yep," He said, "She's dead. Rip."
Cayde walked casually back to the Hall of Guardians, pretending nothing happened. Ikora and Zavala followed him to have a discussion about what had happened,
Her ghost, Lunar was worried a little bit mostly surprised.
"She is still alive. The fall didn't kill her," Lunar mumbled.
"We have to go after her," I replied.
"Good point," Cody replied.
"So what do we do?" Mark asked.
"Split up, she couldn't have ran too far on foot," I suggested.
"Let's get going. JJ, go west. Cody, east. Mia, go north. I will go south," Blake replied.
"What about me?" Mark asked.
"You have an important part in this search too. Tell everyone about what's going on. Start a search party. No. Start at least five of them. Each with at least three guardians. Find Miranda and Chase. They can be your first fireteam."
"That depends. Where did Miranda wander off to?"
"I dunno. I can get a hold of Chase. Wait a minute, Havoc can contact Puma for you."
"I don't have to," the ghost replied.
As if on cue, Chase was standing by the postmaster, Puma floating at his shoulder. Having just got there.
"Hey guys! How'd that engram taste, JJ?" Chase called.
"Are you ever going to stop making fun of me for that?" I asked.
"Wha?" Cody asked.
"Long story," I told him.
Chase carried on that subject of my embarrassment.
"I won't. Besides, it's what friends do... bust each others' balls."
"I wouldn't count on it," Mark replied.
"Anyway, Sarah ran off, again," I brought up.
"Bummer. I guess that we just track Lunar," Chase replied.
"I'm right here. She ditched me," Lunar replied hastily.
"Who's panic-shell now?" Puma taunted.
"I'm pissed-off-shell, not panic-shell. Get it straight ya dumb f**k."
"Forget 'Panic-shell-Puma' they should have called you... I forgot. Oh, wait it was, [i]Dumb-f**k-Puma[/i]," Flame replied.
"Burned by the Flaaaame!" Lunar shouted.
"Watch your language, both of you," Delphi scolded.
"Havoc, it's tied 2 to 2. You're the tiebreaker," Flame told Havoc.
"I laughed at Puma when that story popped up. I choose Team Flumer," Havoc replied.
"To quote what people said before the Golden Age, God damn it!" Puma said.
"We should get on with the search," Chase said.
We split up. Right before we went our separate ways, Cody pulled me over.
"Hey, I know you have a crush on Sarah," he whispered, "Just so you know, stay away from my girl. I won her fair and square."
