Destiny Fanfiction: Into the Swarm
Chapter I - Kan'toln
"Fallen incoming", the warning from his Ghost was not something he was looking forward to, "Thanks 12 did you really have to set off their alarm?" Said Kan'toln, as the warlock readied his Suros ADM-40, "How many?" He asked. "Do you really want to know?" Asked the small greyish robot, "Actually yes I would" he replied. "60 including the 5 servitors" said 12, The warlock stared in disbelief at his Ghost, "What?!, I thought you said there were only 20 scavenger dregs and shanks" "Well they must've called for reinforcements". "Just wonderful" said Kan'toln as he scanned his surroundings, "Alright I have an idea, just work faster" he jumped up and activated his glide, floating up into the rafters of the compound and pulled out his heavy machine gun and prepared for the coming onslaught. "I'm about 38% finished so hold them off for as long as possible" the ghost was working furiously to decode the firewall on the console, the mission at hand was to acquire location codes in Old New York City to open a vault of weapons left from Earth's golden age.
"Here they come" the ghost notified the warlock, "Let's lay out the welcome mat shall we, he tossed down a Firebolt grenade just as a group of dregs rushed in igniting them all into a fiery mess, they were soon followed by a couple of vandal's trailing in behind that got caught in the next grenade, the warlock began firing ripping into the fallen assailants and leaving bodies all over the entrance to the basement, once the ammo gauge hit 0 he jumped down and pulled out his Suros and squeezed the trigger sending bullets into his screaming victims. "How much longer 12 I'm running out of bullets!" He yelled over his shoulder
"We're at 82%" Kan'toln grimaced as he tossed a solar grenade into the fray as he reloaded. "Damn, they're persistent" he took a breath and activated his scorch ability knocking an unlucky stealth vandal into his charging comrades, Kan'toln heard the low bellow of the servitors; "well well well" he remarked, "Look who decided to show up!" He grinned as he began to reload his HMG. "Let's get started, 12!" "Yes?" "Put on some music, Classical playlist 3!" The ghost started the playlist as Queen's 'Another One Bites the Dust' "Love this song!" He said as the servitors advanced into the area.
He began to circle around the room letting off rounds into their mechanical bodies, he herded them into an area of the room that was more enclosed where he let loose two solar grenades, shortly after he heard three large explosions, and the screams of the servitors ceased, "I'm done let's get out of here!" Said the ghost "You had to wait till all of them were dead?" Replied Kan'toln.
In orbit Kan'toln radioed ahead, Kan'toln to tower, "mission complete we have coordinates, we're comin in for a landing" "Negative, Ikora Rey is assigning you to follow these coordinates, encrypted instructions are being transferred to your ghost now". "Are you joking?! I just retrieved some of the most valuable information since the reinstatement of Fire team GreyHawk and you want me to run patrol somewhere?!" "Sir these orders come down from the top, I'm just the messenger" replied the tower guard. "Copy that I'll be back...again", Kan'toln replied grudgingly. "Good luck warlock!" The tower guard responded. "Thanks", "Well 12, we better get going, where's our destination?" Asked the warlock. "Old Chicago" replied the ghost, "I thought Fireteam GreyHawk cleared out that area area years ago?!" Kan'toln was very confused, "Is this just some kind of pick up mission?" He asked his ghost "No it's actually rescue mission, for a Titan". "There's something that's not right here." And with that they began their descent into the planet's surface.
