[i]Two guardians try to find the purpose of their resurrection. They will meet new characters, venture into treacherous territories, overcome many obstacles. But the biggest obstacle they will overcome, will be trying to deal with their seemingly meaningless existence in this dull, lifeless world. This is their story.[/i] The setting sun casts a fiery haze upon the traveler, illuminating the last city in a warm light. Red leaves gently fall from the trees in the tower. But the serene setting is interrupted by an angry shout. Hunter: YOU SON OF A BITCH!!! YOU SAID THAT WAS A LEGENDARY SCHEMATIC FOR AN ASSAULT RIFLE!!! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? *holds up a velvet bra to the cryptarch, who says nothing. Hunter: WHAT THE HELL AM I GOING TO DO WITH THIS? Titan: Easy now Hunter, these schematics or....engrams come from a long lost age. There are bound to be many you pick up that the cryptarch misreads. I'm sure he will get better with time. Hunter: Well, I have a better idea. *pulls out ghost* Hunter: Hey, ghost. You're good at hacking and reading shit. Why don't you decrypt these? Ghost: .............. Hunter: Hey, I'm talking to you. Ghost: ............... Hunter: God dammit. Titan: We could try the Crucible. Hunter: Wait a minute, I thought you already tried the crucible. Titan: I tried to participate in the crucible, but my ship kept returning to Earth's orbit whenever I set the coordinates. But I bet it will work now. Hunter: Fine. *both of the guardians enter orbit. Titan: Ok, I sent the coordinates to your ship. The system should automatically take us to the crucible location. Hunter: Good. I'm in the mood to kill people. *the ships jump into warp and are joined by other ships. *they drop out of orbit around venus and enter it's atmosphere. The Guardians materialize on the surface. Waypoints appear on their visors: A. B. C. Hunter: Ok, let's go for A. Titan: I'm right behind you. *Titan and Hunter both sprint for A and dash take cover behind a block. The meter on their visors show that they are capturing A. Titan: I'm detecting movement from up ahead. *Hunter turns invisible and takes out his shotgun. Hunter: Don't worry, he see me coming. *as soon as Hunter pokes his head out, he is sniped. Titan pulls out his scout rifle and leaps out of cover, taking aim at a lone enemy: xxxlickmyballsxxx. He fires several shots, all of which hit xxxlickmyballsxxx's head, but he is sprayed with machine gun fire and killed. Seconds later, the ghost revives both of them hundreds of feet away. Hunter: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? WHAT IS THE POINT OF CAMOuFLAGE IF HE CAN STILL SEE ME?!? Titan: You aren't completely invisible you know. Hunter: I know...it's obvious that we need to rethink our strategy. You stay here and try to snipe him, I'll sneak around and take him by surprise. Titan: That sounds like a good plan. *The titan takes out a sniper rifle and aims towards A. The hunter sprints off and sneaks around the cave while Titan fires a few shots. Meanwhile, B and C have been captured by the enemy team. xxxlickmyballsxxx returns fire to Titan and immediately kills him. Titan: Son of a bitch!! *Hunter comes up behind xxxlickmyballsxxx, who whirls around one second too late.Hunter unloads his shotgun into his face at point blank range. Nothing happens. Hunter fires a second shot into his face, again nothing happens. xxxlickmyballsxxx sprays his machine gun at Hunter, who in desperation, sinks his knife into the hisneck. Hunter dies and swears profusely from the void. Hunter: THIS IS BULLSHIT!!! I SHOT HIM TWICE IN THE FACE AND SUNK MY KNIFE INTO HIS NECK! HE SHOULD BE DEAD! OH GREAT, NOW HE'S RUBBING HIS TESTICLES ON MY GHOST! HE'S RUBBING HIS SCROTUM ALL OVER MY GHOST!!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?!? *Suddenly xxxlickmyballsxxx drops dead. Hunter: This makes absolutely no sense. *The rest of the match goes horribly wrong as the enemy team keeps dominating them. Eventually heavy ammunition appears and everybody makes a scramble for it. Hunter: Aha!!! Got it!!! *Hunter takes out his rocket launcher. Suddenly 4 of the enemy team run into the cave. Hunter: Hey guys!!! You're too close together, HAVE SOME DEATH! *he fires the rocket launcher right into the middle of them, enveloping them in the explosion. It doesn't kill them. One of them whirls around and snipes him in the head, killing him. Seconds later, they all die from the blast. Hunter: I've had enough of this shit. *The match continues until they lose horribly. The Titan is rewarded two legendary items and the hunter is rewarded 3 motes of light and a rock. Titan: Wow....that was bad. Hunter: Thank you captain obvious, I had no idea. I thought we were doing good until you told me. It's a good thing I have you at my side!!! Titan: Well...maybe the next round will go better. Our ships have received new coordinates. It looks like we are going to the moon. Hunter: You know....why does the moon have normal gravity? Titan: Uhhh......because the traveler terraformed it. Hunter: I guess that's why you see a bunch of trees and flowers on it right? Titan: uhh.....well, maybe it's not supposed to have flowers and trees. I mean, maybe all the traveler did was give it Earth's gravity. Hunter: Wouldn't that throw us out of orbit or cause tides to flood our planet? Titan: Well.....maybe the traveler is keeping it in orbit. Hunter: Oh, that makes so much sense! The speaker told us that the Last city is the only place left on Earth that the traveler can protect. Yet somehow his power is holding our moon in orbit? What sense does that make? And if it has that kind of power, why can't it keep fallen ships out of orbit? Titan: uh.......I don't know. Maybe it's something we are not supposed to understand. We should just accept things the way they are. Hunter: And you have no problem with that? We were brought back to life and the fate of humanity is dumped on our shoulders. Don't you think we deserve to know what's going on? Titan: Yes....I mean...no...maybe..... *ships jump out of orbit and descend towards the moon. Hunter: Ah yes! Sweet! Pikes!!! Shotgun!!!! *Hunter jumps onto the pike and zips towards A. Titan finds an interceptor. Titan: Sweet! I always wanted to drive one of these. *Titan hops onto the interceptor and immediate crashes into a wall. Titan: Dammit! *pulls back and crashes into another wall Titan: DAMMIT!!! Hunter: Titan, what the hell is your problem? Stop crashing into shit! Titan: I'm TRYING not to. But driving this thing feels like driving a refrigerator!!! *Titan eventually frees himself and begins to patrol a map. He spots somebody running across the map and fires a shot, he misses. He fires another shot and it lands right next to his target. Titan: Almost...... *Titan fires another shot and it misses. The target keeps jumping up and down while running towards him. Titan: -blam!- this. I'm running over him. *He activates the booster and launches forward. His target immediately jumps over him. Titan: -blam!-. -blam!- -blam!-KKKK!!!!!! STOP STOP!!! *Titan is unable to brake in time, he runs the interceptor right off the cliff and dies. Hunter: You are a dumbass. Titan: Shut up. *Hunter owns the map with the pike, outgunning everybody he encounters, even other riders. 3 members of the enemy team begin to capture A, but he barrels the pike inside the building and splatters two of them. The other one barely dodges and runs down the hallway in terror, Hunter's pikes coming for him like a savage beast. Hunter: WOOOHOOO!!! YOU WON'T GET AWAY FROM ME!! I'M COMING FOR YOU!!!! HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF "YOU'RE DEAD!". *his target tries to jump, but his head hits the low ceiling. He fires at hunter in desperation just before begin run over with the pike. Hunter: THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!! *Eventually, Titan and Hunter's team completely dominate the opposition, winning the match. Their ships jump into orbit and their rewards are sent to them: nothing. Hunter: wait a moment......we did awesome! Why didn't we get squat? Titan: I suppose the system is set up to reward those who don't do so well, in order to give them a better chance. Hunter: That's stupid. What is the point of being rewarded for doing poorly? That's the worst idea ever. I mean......wait a second. Titan.....that's what we could do! Titan: No. We are not going to go into crucible and intentionally lose. Hunter: Why not? Titan: Because that would be dishonorable. Hunter: You know what's dishonorable? Not doing everything we can to get the gear we need to fight the darkness. And right now, everything we can do is to do nothing at all. It is our duty to exploit this system. Titan: You do whatever you want. I will have no part of it. Hunter: ok, whatever you say dude. *The ships jump out of orbit and descend onto mars and descends. The entire team splits between A and B. Hunter takes out his assault rifle and begins to shoot at some sort of holding tank. Hunter: THIS TANK HAS TOXIC CHEMICALS!!! WE MUST GET RID OF IT! DIE TANK!!!! *An enemy comes up behind him and stabs him in the neck. Meanwhile, Titan tries to take B with a few teammates. A warlock runs in and destroys them all with a nova bomb. Titan: Hunter, you could have distracted him!!! Hunter: Sorry man, I was trying to protect the environment!!!! Oh whoops. Titan: Stop screwing around and help us retake B. Hunter: Fine!!! *they both run towards B and Hunter immediately jumps off the ledge and dies. [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/71892233/0/0/1](continued below)[/url]
