Chapter 1: Unforgotten Past
I remember that day as if it was yesterday. The screams of guardians fighting against a formidable foe. Those wretched Taken had us all on the ropes for quite some time, but now we've pinpointed that bastard Oryx and he's been listed as a kill on site target. The best part of it all is that he was gonna be killed by the most exquisite team of guardians. They are known all around our solar system as legendary, and also the most "persistent," as some might say. The Speaker himself wanted to assure the Taken King's death and called in these three special individuals. Alonda, formally known as the Queen of Fire and an excellent Warlock, the Goddess of War Eliana seen as the most gruesome hunter of the team and as an astonishing sniper, and of course the Emperor of Destruction Brutus, the Titan that leaves nothing, but horror at his wake. The ones that ended Crota's reign.
These three guardians gain their reputation by doing the most prestigious things. Defeating foes like no other guardian could ever have done. Now they face an opponent worthy of their eyes, Oryx father of Crota and King of the Taken. The moon was still and quiet filled with light, until the day Crota came to be. The day that turned the moon into a hive spawn. Now it was crawling with Taken, looking and searching for the so call murderer that took his son. What the Taken didn't expect is three guardians ready for a war.
" Alright team operation cleanse the darkness is a go." Eliana can be a surprising person at times, despite her usual tactics."
" You know for an Awoken, you are really idiotic Elly, honestly you couldn't think of anything better?" Brutus quickly comments."
" Oh like you had something better, you'd probably come up with something like Team Brutus or The Playboy and his two bunnies." Eliana response.
" Oh that cute, that's really cute.." They feel shivers run down their spines as they feel the intensity of a red hot queen.
" CAN YOU TWO JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!... thank you, now let's get focused on the task at hand please." The queen flames begin to disappear as she calms herself. "
" Okay super hot what is the plan this time." Brutus says as he regain his composure.
" We are to eliminate the King, best way to do this is by sneaking in and attacking the King when his guard is lowered." Alonda begins to explain. " Eliana today you'll be on recon, activate your bladedancer ability and go dark make sure to avoid hostiles on your way to Crota's grave. Brutus, you and I are going to be the welcoming party so you know what to do."
The queen always believed in 'no room for error' so playing it safe against Oryx was the best plan she can come up with. " Ally there are hostiles coming our way, Eliana why don't be a good girl and get your hands dirty before patrolling." says Brutus in a sadistic tone."
" I thought you'd never ask." In a blink of an eye, Eliana went in for the attack in a speed that overcame lighting, leaving a trail of static. The Taken team had no idea what evil came their way. Their leader quickly halted in place, he was cut in half in an intent and the fair sized group fell within seconds after. "The little guys are taken care of, enjoy your romantic walk and please don't do anything I wouldn't do." Eliana said playfully through the comm."
" What you need to do is stop shipping us and continue with your Prince Uldron fantasies." Brutus says in "playful" manner. " I'm so telling Anya what you did two days ago." Eliana quickly responded.
" C-Can you not please she'd kill me if she found out."
The Queen joins the conversation, " Don't tell me you went around peeping on the girls again Brutus."
The Emperor carefully response, " No why would a gentleman like myself do such a thing?" Flame-like eyes stare back at him coldly." " Ok, I was but it was only for a second I swear."
She shakes her head in disappointment, " well I guess I'll be missing you soon Brutus, I just hope she leaves something for us to bury."
A panicked Brutus responds, " Elly, sweety look I promise I will never mention that again please have mercy on me."
Eliana responds questioning, " and what might that be again?"
" Yeah what is that?" Brutus responds the best way he could.
" Good job Brutus looks like you get to live another day," says Alonda.
" Oh look the queen is actually having fun for once isn't that a surprise,"
the queen looked at Brutus with a smile and responded, " I just like to see you with cold sweats every time we mention your wife."
The Emperor laughs mockingly, " oh ha ha ha, by the way how's the kid?"
Alonda responses, " Well he's with your wife and twin daughters, he's happy to make a new friend so soon."
" He's a good kid, I wouldn't mind him marrying one of my girls." Brutus said in a proud like manner.
" Look you perv our kids aren't even 3 yet and you're talking about marriage..."
Eliana quickly interrupts, " Hey I love the fact you guys are having a conversation and all, but Oryx and his men are commencing the funeral."
" Alright Eliana, we're by the front entrance and getting in position now, Brutus get ready." the focused queen stated."
" I'm ready when you are Alonda." The queen looked at her friend and gave him the order, suddenly lighting abilities violently began to erupt from the Titan's being. He lunged towards the entrance of the underground castle with a mighty roar, "IT'S CLOBBERING TIME."
Two hours earlier, three children and a pregnant patient rushed quickly to the hospital. The woman is known as Anya mother of twins Dana and Lana and wife of the legendary Emperor of Destruction Brutus. The patient has entered the hospital at approximately 8:30 p.m, accompanied by her two daughters, and the Queen of Fire's son Jaxon. Nurses rush in and out the hospital to help the people in need from sick patients to the injured. The three children look around in awe as these heroes help the lives of their beloved city. Anya is quickly moved to a room as she gets prepped to give life to a new child. She begins to murmur,
"P-Please take care of my babies, make sure they don't go anywhere." She begins to feel pain in her stomach, and the Doctor knows that the child about to come soon.
" Nurse make sure to look after these three children as I attend with the patient,"
the nurse reassures the doctor and quickly goes to attend the children. " Alright guys let's go to the playpen so the doctor can help mommy," the nurse also known as Tess Everis, sister of the Goddess of War Eliana, goes along with children to keep them company.
" Will mommy be okay?" asks a shy Lana as they enter the playpen.
" Why of course she'll be fine silly," Tess reassures the small child by patting her head. Tess is known to give special orders to the guardians in the tower, but with the small supply of nurses, she offered her assistance to the hospital in their time of need. The last city on Earth sure had it times of struggles but none could compare to now. Most of the staff had to go in the battlefields to help the wounded. At a time like this, anything and anyone was needed to help the helpless. The stars shined brightly across the beautiful night sky, the three kids looked at it through the glass with hope for the guardians out in battle.
As things couldn't get any worse, the unthinkable happens. " Okay kids you can see your mommy now," a delighted doctor speaks as her motions the children to see their mom/aunty.
" Hey my cute little babies," a tired Anya speaks to her beloved children, " Come sit next to mommy, you too Jaxon I am your mom when Alonda is away you know."
The little girls quickly sit next to their mom and of course the boy followed suit and did the same . All of a sudden a loud explosion is heard outside the hospital. Doctors, nurses and other civilians within the hospital began to quickly help out patients Tess entered Anya's room with a serious expression.
" Tess what's going on," questions Anya.
" We're being attacked by Fallen, they're crawling all over the city," responses a terrified Tess.
" Tess I need you to take the kids be...," it all happened in an instant a fallen kell decloaked slitting a weak and tired Anya with no hesitation. Tess quickly pulled her hidden knife and killed the kell before it could attack. Worried she rushed to a motionless, lifeless Anya. She quickly grabbed the three children who were shocked to the core by what had just transpired.
" No... no no no noooooooooooo!" A distraught Lana screamed at the top of her lungs.
Tess moved at insane speeds and securely put the kids in a safe room along with the newborn child Jess. A sadden, but focused Tess speaks to the crying twins and an expressionless Jaxon,
" Stay here don't move until I get back, Jaxon I need you to listen to me look after the girls and their little brother okay,"
Jaxon nods as Tess goes to help defend the hospital. Jaxon looks at the heartbroken crying twins, Dana cries hold her head still trying to not to believe what had transpired while Lana tries to speak, " W- What's going on w- what just happened,"
Dana begins to yell " MOMMY... MOMMMMYYYY," Jaxon rushes over to Dana's side to comfort her, but is bounced back by an electric barrier.
Lana looks over to Dana and tries to calm her sister down, " D- Dana i-it's me your sister p-please stop yelling."
Dana does as she is told and sobs, a tearing Lana and a confused Jaxon sit next to the Dana while looking at the sleeping newborn in his sound proof crib. Tess runs to the make shift barricades to meet up with the defensive forces. As she closes in, she see a familiar face,
" Damius!, oh thank god you're here."
" Yeah I was on my way to visit Anya until all of this happened," he responses in a worried manner.
" About Anya, s..she didn't make it she was killed right in front of me I couldn't react in time I-I..." A sad Tess speaks trying not to fall apart.
( Well the bitch is dead, I guess plans will have to be changed.) " How about the kids, are they ok?" A cynical evil Damius speaks with a worrying tone.
" Yes they're fine, they are currently in one of the safe rooms." Tess talks with a desperate look.
" I'll look after the kids, you go and help with the defensive lines Everis." Tess nods to Damius' offer, and heads to the safe area with a sadistic smile.
" Man you gotta love parties and you wanna know the best part of a party Mr. Oryx, it's when bad asses like us come and tear the motherfucker down." A confident Brutus speaks with malice in his tone.
" So the wretched light finally shows himself to me, Hahahahahahaha and I thought this couldn't get any better looks like I get to avenge my son while he can still see." A bitter Oryx speaks in return.
" Sorry to break it to you big guy, but as I recall you weren't the only one that got his hands dirty," the Queen of Fire steps in with flames rising. " I remember myself burning Crota's body to a crisp after annihilating him."
A now furious Oryx looks upon two lights, " I'M GOING TO END YOU BOTH!"
Oryx with an abundance of speed, launches his entire being to attack. Both the Emperor and the Queen dodge at great speeds avoiding the bloodthirsty Oryx.
" Oh this is gonna be fun, you ready Alonda?"
" I'm always ready Brutus."
With that statement made, the Queen palms created flaming vortexes and began shooting large amounts of fireballs. Oryx saw the power the balls posed and began to dodge them as fast as he could. Oryx then began to shoot his own taken flame balls at the Queen. Seeing his friend in midst of trouble, Brutus created his protection bubble.
" Alonda I'm going to use the Necrochasm ( an assault rifle containing Crota's essence)." Oryx began to sense a decent amount of Crota's power. He began to decrease his attacks and lower his guard. Seeing the opportunity to attack, Eliana used her special sniper rifle, Patience and Time and shot Oryx clean through his eye. As the bullet made contact Oryx became enraged spinning out of control. Brutus quickly dashed out his bubble and began to shoot Oryx with Crota's essence. Oryx began to attack blindly out of rage, rubble and pieces of rocks began to fall from the ceiling of the castle. Alonda spoke panicked,
" We have to get out of here now, Brutus, Eliana let's go." Eliana followed orders and began to exit the castle.
Both Alonda and Brutus ran for the exit, black flame like orbs followed them as they ran. Detecting the black flames, Brutus again activated his protection bubble allowing his friend to escape the entrance was barricaded with boulders and such
. " Brutus are you ok?" the queen began to yell from the other side,
" Yeah I'm fine just go get outta here Alonda." Alonda was confused to hear her friend's words,
" Brutus I am not leaving you behind we are a team, you Eliana and I are a team we stick together." Brutus responds to his friend's plea,
" Alonda I'm going to finish this here and now go while you still can, and also tell my wife and kids if i don't make it, tell them I love them please go NOW."
Alonda shocked by his words ran to escape screaming, " YOU BETTER BE BEHIND ME AFTER YOU FINISH HIM BRUTUS." She ran trying to hold her tears back,
" Yeah don't worry I'll be right back Ally..., ALRIGHT YOU BASTARD IT'S YOU AND ME ONCE AND FOR ALL."
Brutus screamed at a somewhat focused Oryx, attacking with an amazing amount of lightning spewing out of him both men's fists connected creating destruction to new levels. As Eliana and Alonda look back all they can see was bolts of lightning coming from the ground. Tears were in their eyes as they headed back home to an unexpected war.
As the kids sat in the safe room, they began to hear a knock on the door. They thought it was an enemy until the person behind the door spoke,
" It's me Damius your mom's friend you guys remember me right?"
Jaxon recognized the voice and ran to the door. He opened it slowly to make sure it was the person peeking through the crack. He saw the familiar face and opened the door wide.
(" What a surprise even the Queen's brat is here, my day just gets better and better.") Damius thinking in his malicious ways enter the room with a smile.
" Tess told me you guys were here so I came as soon as I could." He scanned the room and couldn't believe it, Anya was really dead! He walked over the twins and consulted them with hidden malice,
" I'm sorry about your mommy girls." The girls looked up at their favorite uncle and began to respond, " Thank you uncle..." as they began to thank the man for his words, he began to laugh,
" You guys really think I care about the stupid bitch of a mother you guys had? Huh?"
He continued to laugh with no remorse. "I was waiting for this day for years and it went all according to plan, I wish she was alive to make her my slutty servant, but beggars can't be choosers right?"
The girls, and Jaxon looked at the man shocked and horrified. Dana the sweetest one of them all began to become enraged,
"Ohhh is the little child gonna cry mommy? Huh?"
He began to laugh again, then suddenly sparks of lightning began to cover the child. She punched the man with incredible speed, but the effect was semi good,
" YOU LITTLE BITCH HOW DARE YOU!" He punched the child so hard she lost consciousness.
Lana being the older one rushed to her sister's aid, she saw the bruise and the blood on her mouth, she became enraged as well attacking with a combination of lightning and fire. The man try to react as quickly as possible, but the child was too fast. The impact of her punch send him flying to the wall indenting it with his back. He quickly grabbed the child by the head, she began flailing her arms around in anger trying to hit him,
" YOU TWO REALLY ARE THE KIDS OF BRUTUS JUST AS STUBBORN AND IDIOTIC!"
He began to squeeze the child's skull with his nail puncturing her forehead she began to scream in pain and agony. Before the man realized, purple void like orbs were sent his way with astonishing speeds. The orbs made contact which him let go of the little girl leaving a large a cut on the right side of her forehead, he spoke with rage in his eyes,
" OF COURSE HOW I COULD FORGET THE QUEEN'S PRIDE AND JOY!"
A raged Damius try to attack the child but he dodged at extreme speeds almost inhuman like.
" I see you possess the void walker ability kid, but sorry to break it to ya I'm much better." After he said those words he kicked Jaxon in the gut putting an end to his dodges.
" Now that the side show is over, I can sell these 2 little idiotic bitches to a whore house, you know it would've been amazing to make your mother suffer HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
As the man continued to laugh an unexpected guest arrive. Walking out of the midst of darkness left in the room.
" No it can't be not you."
The black figure ended Damius' life in an instant with no expression.
" None shall defy my Queen not even the likes of you."
Jaxon heard the words of the individual, they were cold terrifying to say the least. The kid looked at the figure,
" hey..." Before he could mention the figure's name, Jaxon lost consciousness.
