Into the Shadows Chapter 3: A Prime opportunity

i have put it in spoilers for your reading convenience. And yes, most of this was written BEFORE the season 6 update [spoiler]“Incoming, at the Steppes!” The Drifter’s voice sounded over the comms. Giant cracked a goblins (skull? Head? Helmet?) in with his head. “You heard the man! Bank those motes and get moving!” His team of 4 quickly finished engaging with the leftover Vex and made their way to the Mote Bank in the center of the arena. Suddenly, the alarm sounded. “Invader on the field! Watch yourself!” The drifter announced. The guardian behind him was suddenly vaporized in a flash of arc light, dropping all his motes. “You guys bank your motes.” Giant said, “I’ll handle this son of a Glitch.” He reached into the void and pulled out his shield, and began to run at the enemy. The invader fired off another shot, but the Titan had his shield in front of him, blocking the shot. “Nice try, scumbag!” Giant taunted. The opposing Guardian panicked. He fired again, and again, but each shot was blocked. Eventually, Giant ran up and slammed him with his shield, vaporizing him. “And don’t come back!” The Sentinel said, as he turned to face the new wave of vex. Him and his team took out Vex after Vex and picked up the motes they dropped. One of them, a Minotaur, ran straight toward Giant. He threw his shield at the large Vex, but he merely teleported harmlessly away from its trajectory. Giant growled and bodyslammed him with his shield. “These guys are almost as annoying as the Hive and Taken,” He said, putting away his shield, “Echo, collect the scraps while we bank these motes” As Echo trasmatted the remains of the Vex away, Giant sprinted to the bank and slammed the motes into the receiver. “I’d like to make a deposit of about 15 motes, please.” He said with a chuckle. “Primeval up! Kill it to win!” The Drifter said, as an orb of Taken energy suddenly teleported a primeval ogre to their position. “Take out the envoys! Don’t waste your ammo on the primeval.” Giant said, running toward the portal. “I’ll buy some time for you.” He jumped through the portal and instantly materialized into the enemy team’s side of the arena. 4 red blips with numbers indicating motes carried instantly appeared on his HUD. One of those blips was separated from the group. That was his target. Unable to detect him, the Titan sprang upon his victim and delivered a crushing blow with his fist, his opponent vaporized in a void blast. One down. He pulled out his LMG and picked off another guardian attempting to rush him with a shotgun. Two down. The others, a Warlock and a Hunter, had summoned the primeval and were standing a Well of Radiance. Giant seized this opportunity and tossed a suppression grenade in their mist. The Well of radiance instantly disappeared, and they were entirely vulnerable to the Ogre’s eye blasts. 4 down. Giant was trasmatted back to his team’s side, the primeval at half strength. “Burn it down!” One said. “Show no mercy!” Said another. 40%. Giant’s team kept firing. 30%. The primeval was weakening. 20%. Almost there.... 10%.... Suddenly, one of the guardians next to giant fell dead, a dark slug buried in his chest. [i]”Death heals primeval,”[/i] Giant remembered. He turned around to face the invader. As usual, it was a Hunter, but this one held an unusual weapon in its hands. [i]”Malfeasance.”[/i] Before he could fire off a shot, the hunter fired 4 Taken slugs into his chest, felling him instantly. When Echo revived him, the enemy team was melting their Primeval and only one guardian was left on his team. “Well, poop.” Giant said, “he’s dead.” But the guardian didn’t die. Instead, the drifter’s voice came from the speakers saying “invader down! Your ally’s a hero!”. “Holy crap he did it!” Giant exclaimed, “quick, melt the primeval!” A warlock slammed his sword into the ground and a Well of Radiance appeared. Giant knew what that meant. That was the universal sign for “time to melt this primeval boys”. All of his teammates knew it too and stepped into the well, it’s Light enhancing their weapons and armor. It was close. Impossible to tell which team was ahead of the other. Then, “You got moves, brother! Primeval down!” The Taken primeval was sucked into the void from whence it came, defeated. “Good game, everyone!” Giant congratulated, fist bumping each of his teammates. Giant headed over to the guardian that killed the invader. He was a hunter, and a Human as well. “You saved our hide out there.” Giant said to him, “to whom do I owe my gratitude?” The hunter smiled. “Bogan’s the name, Slayin’ invader’s the game, ‘mate! You weren’t so bad yerself! Those Queenbreakers are a nuisance, for sure!” “I’ll say.” Giant chuckled. “Sir,” Echo said from his guardian’s shoulder, “you have an incoming transmission.” “Thanks Echo.” Giant replied, “reroute it to the [i]Avenging Eagle[/i]’s main comm unit.” “Right away.” His ghost replied. “Sorry man,” Giant turned to the hunter, “I gotta go.” “You do you, mate.” He replied, cordially. Giant trasmatted to his newly acquired ship, lovingly dubbed [i]The Avenging Eagle[/i], after his vow to repay Keksis for holding him captive for so long. “Ah, she’s a beaut’, that’s for sure.” He reflected, “Wish I could find a fitting color scheme for her.” He made his way to the cockpit and sat down in the Pilot’s seat. “Echo, relay the transmission.” “At once, sir.” The comms flashed, and a series of numbers flashed on his communications monitor. It then displayed the comm number of the transmission, and the name given by the transmitter. “It’s the drifter.” He observed, “Put him through.” “Hey, brother!” The lightbearer spoke over the comms, “how ya livin’?” “Greetings. I am doing just fine.” The Exo replied, “What can I help you with?” The Drifter chuckled, “it’s not about you helpin’ [i]Me[/i], it’s about me helpin’ you. Come see me in my new spot n’ the annex, I’ll tell ya there.” The comms shut off as the transmission ended. “Set course for the tower, Echo,” Giant said, flipping some switches, “Let’s see what he wants.”[/spoiler]
