The sky begins to darken as the moon rose in the sky and the tower had not much movement buzzing around it. That is except one lone warp ship came near the top of the tower where the Vanguard had set up shop. As the transmat ended a singular Hunter appeared from the ship, not many people knew of this Hunter as he rarely ventured to the city unless for a necessity. The few Guardians that did know of the Hunter knew to avoid him as he had always been a lone wolf ever sense his resurrection over thirty five years ago.
Michael would approach Master Raool and would stand there waiting for him to finish with the greenhorn Guardians who were returning from the field. When the Cryptarch was finished and went to look at who was next, he was surprised to see the Hunter with one arm in a sling to be at his stall. "Well long time no see, Michael. I thought you didn't come to the tower for a mere decryption, so what did Cayde call you back?" The Hunter would remove his helmet before he would speak, taking his time using only his one free hand to undo the complex system that kept it on his head. "Well no actually, Raool. I came to visit some old friends and also, Master Ives, is away this weekend. So I thought you would be the first of who I visited."
Michael would visit and exchange stories with the Cryptarch until the moon was high in the sky, and was about to leave when he noticed a young Titan female still in low end armor come running up towards the Crytarch. Who would unravel the green engrams real quickly for her and send her on her way. "Such a sweet young one. Not even a year old in Guardian years, yet she is becoming quite a powerful force. Even if she hates to fight, I must wonder why her Ghost chose her. She will do anything to avoid a fight unless she must. But we cannot question a Ghost's judgement on who is deserving to be a Guardian. Well Michael I must get some rest, please do try and visit a little more often than once every few years."
Michael would only nod as he waved goodbye to, Master Raool, and would head back towards the drop off/pick up zone. As he was calling his ship to come pick him up he felt a tap on his shoulder causing him to spin around to see who was trying to get his attention. It was the young Titan from earlier, "Can I help you?" He said coldly a he cancelled the call to his ship. "Hi, my name is Rebecca and I was wondering if I could get some help with a mission. Commander Zavala has asked me to go investigate an unusual occurrence on the moon and I'm pretty sure he said something about bringing a fireteam and well you seem strong so I was wondering would you please come with me?"
Michael just stared at the young girl and was amazed as she seemed to say all that in one breath. He would then just shake his head and begin to talk. "The moon is too dangerous for a greenhorn like you. You should just stick to the Cosmodrone and fight some Dregs and the occasional Vandels." The girl gave him a pouty face before trying to beg him. Michael just responded with a shake of his head and turned to walk away. From behind him he heard her yell at him, "I am too strong enough for the moon. You Hunters are all the same cocky and stupid, y'all always think you are better than anyone else and prefer to be stupid lone wolves to prove it. But I'll show you that I'm better than you and will do it myself." With that she was gone flying off to the moon.
No sooner had she left Michael's ghost would appear alongside him. "Two things there, first that was a little rude. She was just asking for help and secondly you know she won't survive on her own. Hence why Zavala said for her to go with a fireteam." A sigh would escape from Michael's mouth as he opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by an all to familiar voice. The voice was coming from a man leaning on one of the pillars that stood in the middle of the courtyard. "She is going to need your help, Michael or she will die. She's off to the Summoning Pits and you know that the Hive there would love a young treat like her Light." Michael stopped Cayde-6 right there and asked. "Did you say the Summoning Pits, Cayde? Cause if you did why would you send a damn Greenhorn there and not call on someone else who can handle it? Damn it Artemedis get my ship here now and try and get a message to Antwon. Hurry please!" With those words his ship would transmat him on board.
Within a short period of time Michael would arrive at the moon and depart his ship at the opening to Crota's Temple. He began to run at the doors and unholstered one of his two hand cannons. Michael would shoot at anything that moved as he descended deep into the Temple all the while looking for the young Titan. Not far from the World Eater he noticed a discarded gun and then not far he saw, Rebecca cowering behind a pillar punching anything that got too close to her spot. Michael's cannon roared to life as he shot at anything anywhere near the girl. He would quickly kick the gun at Rebecca and then toss her one of his ammo packs before resuming to shoot the Hive. This continued on for a while but there was too many and now they were surrounded. "Damn it not many options here. Can you transmat away?" The girl shook her head before she started firing again. "Shit ok then I need you to promise me something. What you are about to see you will tell no one. Not a soul ok?" The girl would try and question him but he just yelled promise me. The girl just nodded and Michael would take a deep breath and then slowly remove his left arm from it's sling.
The arm was definitely weird looking to Rebecca but what caught her off guard really was that it looked exactly like part of a Taken enemy. He would then unholster his second cannon in the same hand and began shooting with both hands in each direction. From one hand came a flash of golden light while the other a light of complete darkness erupted from the other. Enemies were dropping like flies but this could only last for a while as he ran out of primary ammo. Holstering his twin hand cannons he would then unsheathe two blades one of pure darkness while the other looked pristine and shone with the Light. He would then begin to hack at any enemies who got any closer to the two. This continued for a long while and Michael was starting to feel tired from all of this. Just then a loud, thunderous roar echoed through the cavern as bullets flew into the remaining hive and a voice yelled at them to move. Grabbing Rebecca's hand he pulled her towards the Warlock as he fired upon the hive, once on the other side of the man he would tap his shoulder which the man just nodded and the three began a hasty retreat out of the Temple.
Once outside the Temple the three would transmat onto the still hovering ship and fly back to the Tower. Once there the three would disembark and look at one another before The Warlock spoke first. "May I ask what the hell either of you were thinking you for going in there without any backup and you Michael, why just why?" Michael sighed before pulling his friend to the side and explained the whole situation, when the two returned. The Exo would speak. "I am sorry for that, Michael here explained to me that it was because of him that you went off alone. Now I guess proper introductions are in order. I am Antwon-3 and the Hunter is Michael." The girl gave a small smile before speaking up. "I am Rebecca it is a pleasure to meet two semi legends of the Guardians. Antwon-3 the Undying and Michael the Dual Wielding Hunter. But I must ask what happened to your arm?" The two looked at each other before Michael sighed and said. "Not here but we can talk at this little Noodle Shop I know down in the city, My treat." The little Titan would clap and jump a little before running ahead of the two. In his mind he couldn't believe he had to call on help and also that he felt he was going soft. He would shake his head and continue to walk towards the elevators.
