The guardian removes his mark and jumps down behind the Valus. ZAVALA: Hello, there! VALUS TA’AURC: Commander Zavala, you are a bold one. I find your behavior bewildering . . . Surely you realize you're doomed, (to Siege Dancers) Kill him! About a hundred psions surround Zavala, Valus Ta’aurc, and his legionaries. Zavala looks around, then walks right up to Valus Ta’aurc. They stare at each other for a moment. VALUS TA’AURC: Enough of this. The legionaries raise their slug rifles to knock Zavala away, but Zavala ducks as the deadly staffs whistle over his head. The titan’s shield forms, and Zavala deftly bashes one legionary into dust. His slug rifle flies into the air and is caught by Valus Ta’aurc. The other three legionaries attack Zavala with an intense fury. Zavala uses the light to throw a grenade. It drops on the legionaries, blowing them up. Zavala walks toward Ta’aurc, disintegrating the last legionary with his shield. Psions move toward Zavala. Valus Ta’aurc: Back away. I will deal with this guardian slime myself. Zavala: Your move. Valus Ta’aurc: You fool. I have been trained in your guardian arts by Emporer Ghaul himself. Attack, Zavala. His arms separate and grab both rocket launchers on his belt. His arms create a frightening display of power. Zavala: You forget I trained the guardian that defeated Ghaul! Zavala is hard-pressed to defend himself against the deadly onslaught. They fight across the control room as the psion snipers try to pick off the guardian. Zavala mounts a ferocious counterattack and shoots off one of Ta’aurc’s arms. A loud explosion is heard echoing throughout the land tank . Valus Ta’aurc and Zavala glance to the entrance of the control center and see guardians in the distance, attacking psions in the sinkhole. On the far wall of the sinkhole, guardians can be seen rappelling onto balconies. Zavala: I may not defeat your psions, but my troops certainly will. Valus Ta’aurc: Army or not, you must realize you are doomed. Zavala: I don't think so. Twenty guardians suddenly rappel into the entrance of the control center, trace rifles blazing. Chaos. Solar shots fly everywhere as the psions return fire. Zavala attacks Valus Ta’aurc, who defends himself rigorously with one of his legionary's slug rifle. Zavala uses the light to shoulder charge Valus Ta’aurc backwards. He falls onto a lower platform and Zavala jumps down after him. More guardians rappel into the control center and blast away at the remaining psions. The titan punches down several psions as he races to the entrance of the control center. Zavala spots Valus Ta’aurc racing toward one of the landing platforms in the midst of the battle. Valus Ta’aurc jumps onto an interceptor and takes off down the wall of the sinkhole. Zavala summons his sparrow, and jumps on.
