RWBY/Destiny crossover
(Cinder escaped with the Fall Maiden's power, but she lost control of the Atlesian army. Pyrrha is still alive, Yang has two arms, and Torchwick uneaten) (I do not own the rights to RWBY or Destiny, but I do own this story and the Original Characters that appear in it)
Chapter 1
"Alright Guardians, weapons hot!" I shout, and I use my hand cannon to blast another Acolyte into dust as I land. I then spin Thorn, (my hand cannon) on my finger and duck, shooting a thrall as it soars over my head. The sound of rushing air passes over me, and an Acolyte yelps as my Titan teammate, Sam, punts the hive beast across the moon. "Three!" Sam shouts, and I stand up straight with a scoff. "There is NO WAY in Hell you've gotten three kills already," "Kiss it buddy!" he retorts, spraying a group of thralls with his assault rifle. "I headed the charge, and I got the first two kills! You have NO reliable long-range attacks, so unless you sprayed and hoped I didn't get in the way," I shout, downing two more Thralls and throwing a knife at a third as I speak. "We both know Sam, Captain. That's exactly what he did," a woman comments sadly, and there's an explosion to my left and a quickly following implosion as the Warlock on my team, Tabitha, decimates a Hive Wizard and two Knights with a grenade.
"Heads up guys, there's a Blight forming just inside the cave!" my fourth fireteam member, Caroll, says on the radio, and I glance into the crater we're clearing to spot the rift she's talking about. A Taken Knight first emerges from the hole in space, but it is quickly shot square in the face by Caroll. More Taken Hive emerge from the rift at a quickening pace, so I holster Torn and crack my metallic knuckles for effect. "Now we've got a party. I love parties. I'm a great dancer-" "Shut up use it already!" Sam shouts over the gunshots, and I laugh a little before getting into an aggressive stance with two knives drawn.
I let the Light flow through my body into my knives, and the blades extend with pure Arc energy as my Arc Blade fully deploys. I sprint at the group of Taken with blinding speed, and I start slicing the group into tiny ghostly pieces before they have time to react.
"Archer, you're almost out of power," my Ghost informs me, and I jump back with a burst of Arc light to avoid dying to the few Taken that remain. An explosion rips through the small cluster of remaining Taken, and the Blight is destroyed by three bright shots from behind me.
"Cayde, hostiles have been eliminated," I say into my radio, and the Hunter Vanguard laughs in response. "I wish I had seen it. I'll transfer the bounty to your accounts. Come on home Guardians, and good job," the Exo says proudly, and my Ghost appears next to me to mark me for transmat as Caroll slides down the hill from her sniping position. He beeps a few times and then turns around to look at my teammates' Ghosts. "Guys?" "I see it," "This is a problem," "It wouldn't be safe to even try," they say to each other, and I look at my small partner questioningly. "Ghost?" "Quiet Archer. Cayde, we can't evac," my Ghost says worriedly, and there's some muffled conversation in the background of the radio transmission.
"What do you want? No, give me that, Eris, give me my radio back," Cayde can be heard saying, and a woman's voice replaces Cayde's after a moment of silence. "It is the Taken, they thirst for your light. They have trapped you in their darkness and-" "Eris, give me my radio, or I'm not paying you that Glimmer I owe you!" "Focus!" Tabitha's Ghost shouts and Cayde clears his throat after a second of muffled arguing. "Yeah, sorry about that. Guardians, you're going to have to hoof it and get out of there, because Eris says it's bad. Not that I needed her help to see that, but, you know what, just run, I'll see what we can do on this end.." Cayde orders, and I nod to my team as we sprint away from the darkening cave. "The disturbance is following us," my Ghost says worriedly, and Sam gasps for air as he sprints just behind me. "Stop!" one of our Ghosts shouts, and we all skid to a halt as a cloud of darkness cuts off our way forward. "Left!" I shout, but the cloud has already cut off our flanks as well.
"Back to back!" I order, and all four of us press our backs together. "Sam, Ward!" I command, and my teammate nods as he throws his hands out to raise The Ward of Dawn. A purple bubble expands around my team and the shadows that were surrounding us press against the shield. Ripples start forming on the shield everywhere at once, and I look at my friend worriedly. "Sam, how long can it hold?" "My Wards usually last about a minute, but under this kind of stress," "Ghosts, is there any chance you can revive us if this darkness kills us?" "Probably not, but I don't know if it will," my Ghost says, and he appears next to my shoulder to scan the caving bubble around us. "Ghost," "This cloud has frequencies that match our transmat systems. I think it will take us somewhere!" "Where?" "Hell if I know, but it probably won't kill us," my Ghost explains, and he re-enters my body as Sam's Ward collapses. "Well, it's been a good run team, so if we die, it was an honor serving with you." I state, and the dark cloud consumes us, causing my Exo systems shut down from the shock.
