Tomorrow, I will be removing the Devil's Hunter. It will be replaced by this story, so do not worry too much. At first, it may seem like a new story, but I will keep it close to the original. I am altering many, many things however. For instance, Saka will be given his birth hair and eye colors.
Also, the reason why I put a world built off sci-fi and supernatural together are a few things. The first is that a war had happened in both, reducing the main race's numbers to a fraction of what they once were. The second reason is that they are both trying to rebuild their numbers. Only issue is that Guardians are Human, so they have to reproduce the normal way as Devils merely reincarnate Humans. And finally... because I though it would be fun.
Chapter 1: The Time Traveling Hunter
The vault of glass, an area filled to the brim with Vex technology and the murderous robots with weaponry that bends the laws of time and space.
A single Hunter wearing Vex plating for armor was in its deepest depths, the room where the Conflux of Time resides. His cloak was known to many as the 'Kellhunter's Hood' as it had the symbol of the dreaded Fallen House of Wolves on the back with red clothe everywhere else. Of his armor, it was all white while he wore the 'Mask of the Third Man' helmet to help channel his Arc power.
He chose to venture deep into the Vault of Glass long after a team of Guardians had cleaned it of Vex that live in its ruins for the week, along with the one that controls that very power of time, Atheon, just to study its technology to further the Human race, increase their power against their foes, and to spite the Vex for what they have done to him.
He went to the enormous glass pillars that floated in the back. His Ghost, a default colored Ghost, came out and began scanning the glass for what they were looking for.
"I'm picking up readings of the mineral here somewhere… the only question is where…" He would then scan ever pillar of the glass like material as his Hunter went to the piles of broken Vex. He dug through it to find anything helpful.
Vex eye? No. Vex arm? No. Vex gun? … possibly. He took it and examined every inch of it. Broken scope, busted clip, no trigger, cracks along the entire casing, and even missing circuits.
At least it was scrap for his own weapons he could use.
"Hey, I think I found it!" His Ghost yelled for him as he took the piece of scrap metal with him. He came to the side of his partner in crime as he looked inside the glass, seeing just what he was looking for.
He took out a knife as he cut through the glass, grabbing the mineral he was looking for. IT was a mineral that allowed the Vex to bend space and time, the same one used for their hearts.
"Now that we found that, was there anything good among their remains?" His Ghost was looking at him with curious blinking.
"Nothing. Everything is broken. Only thing worthwhile was a busted gun I could use to fix my others. Come on, let's try to use their gate to get us out of here." He went down the stairs that the Vex formed and towards one of the gates as his Ghost began configuring it.
"So… it's been what? 6 months now?"
"Yeah… not a day goes by that I don't regret not being able to do anything to save them, only them saving me."
"You're actually talking about it now instead of lashing out at me?"
"Yeah, I needed to get over it since the Venus mission. If they were still with me, they would want me to move on." He took out one of his guns, the Invective, as he took out a clothe to begin cleaning it from the Vex he killed to get inside. Ghost was halfway through the calibration as his radars picked something up.
"We've got trouble!" Vex teleportation clouds began popping up in the middle of room as the Ghost dissipates back to his Guardian and the Hunter put away the shotgun as he pulled out his Last Word and an Arcbolt grenade. From the cloud came only the simple Vex, Goblins, Hobgoblins, and Harpy's.
He threw the grenade as it scanned the area around the impact, and sent out a bolt of lightning that hurt the Vex. He took aim with his gun and fired directly into the eyes of the Harpy's, killing them quick as they are only strong in numbers.
The other two forms took notice of his presence and began shooting at him. He hid behind one of the pillars on the side of the gate as waited for an opening to shoot back. A Hobgoblin formed a Void grenade in its hand as it threw it to the Hunter. He saw the grenade and immediately ran out from his cover.
The Vex began shooting at him as he had to dodge their bullets, but he would then send in bullets of his own directly into their cores. He shot each one in the core, but the Hobgoblins had somehow come up with the plan of standing in front and releasing their wave of Solar power that negates all damage, protecting the Goblins from behind.
"Any luck on the calibrations?!" He had to keep running to avoid their attacks as he could only strike back in short periods of time.
'Almost, I'm at 87% for the calibration. I could launch the gate now, but we'll end up at a random position outside the Vault, possibly even Mercury.' The Hunter began contemplating if they should wait any longer, but then another cloud had appeared, only it was much, much bigger.
From it, came the dreaded Conflux of Time, Atheon, who should be dead for the next few hours before the weekly regenerator kicked in for the Vault. Atheon only had to look at the smaller Vex shooting at the Hunter to immediately take aim with his own gun and shoot massive Void blasts at him.
"Launch the gate! Launch the gate!" He ran back to the gate as Atheon began channeling the power of time. The gate opened as he leaped towards it, Atheon mere seconds away from sending him away. He made it through however right as the massive Vex completed charging.
The Hunter gave a sigh of relief as he was inside a Vex wormhole. Plenty of other Guardians, including the brightest Warlock's would travel inside of one and come out pitch perfect. This… was not one.
The mineral he took suddenly erupted from his pocket as it began changing colors. Solar orange, Void purple, and Arc blue. The wormhole itself began adopting those colors.
"Ghost, is this supposed to happen?"
'I have no idea.' The exit of the wormhole came quickly as he left it, falling face first into solid ground. Thankfully, it was also mushy ground, so it must've been either mud, or a weak soil. He pushed himself up to see the glory of grass, something not anywhere near Vex territory as trees were visible as far as the eye could see.
"Well, better here than with Atheon." He dusted himself off as he began to try and get his bearings, seeing nothing of a landmark he could use. "Think you can get a scan on where we are at the moment? I don't feel the heat from the blue lava from Venus here, so I want to say Earth."
'Let me check.' His Ghost then came out as it began scanning the area around them. They remained there for a few seconds as his Ghost came back. "From what I can tell, it is Earth. But… we've got a problem…"
"What? Are we deep inside of Fallen Territory?"
"No… much worse. We're currently in Japan, twentieth century. We just became time travelers." Ghost turned to look at his Hunter who merely raised his hand to where his chin would be in his helmet.
"Hmm… you would think that should put some pride in a person… but I'm not feeling it."
"Figured. Right now, the closest town is… wait, our records about this area are far off. I need to shift into using this time period's network." He then waited a second as his light then flashed. "Done. Alright, we're near a town called Kuoh, but I'll need to hide and you need to remove your armor if we are to fit in. Also, without the ship anywhere within reach for us, we don't have a home or base. We're going to need to buy an apartment or house."
"Shit, really? You said we were in Japan, right? Since I don't have a single piece of Yen on me. Only Glimmer."
"Don't worry, I can transmute 1 piece of glimmer into 1,000 Yen digitally due to Glimmer being a programmable substance. So if we multiply the 25,000 Glimmer we have in inventory…
"We have about 25,000,000 Yen… well hot damn that's a lot. I think we might be able to afford a house with that much. You just need to give me records in the system, and we're set."
"True. And if it comes down to it, I would be able to transmute any scrap metal in more."
"Alright. Start inputting any records I need to be a legal citizen into the system as I find a place to spend the night. Before we move…" He reached behind him and pulled out a katana with a red blade and blue handle from a purple sheath, looking in pristine condition. "Good, I don't want to lose this."
"Alright, get a decent understanding of the area as I create the records. Do you want to be registered as 18, or 518?"
"18, Ghost. 518 will make people think I use my imagination too much." Ghost then disappeared into his mind as he then noticed something on his radar. Enemy movement with the intent to kill. "Ghost-"
'I see it too. Something near us is ready to kill anyone or anything close to it. We'd better take it out before a Human is hurt.' The Hunter nodded as he ran to the source of the movement. It began appearing more accurately on his radar as he entered a clearing. He took a single step to feel his boot sink into the ground, only a copper like scent somehow came through his helmet.
He begins to worry for the worst and looks around the clearing, seeing only a tree that seems far too unhealthy to even live as it didn't even have a leaf on it.
"Ghost, can you try to make an estimate of any possible Human killings here?"
'I can, but be careful. I don't think that tree is normal. Last thing we need is a surprise attack from Mother Nature.'
"I know that Ghost… just why is this tree a registered enemy? Unless there is something in the-" Before he could finish his sentence, the tree turns around and reveals to have multiple human faces imbedded in it and a branch from above coming down. The Hunter quickly Blinks out of the way as he looks back at what he just saw.
'Ok, that is a new one. We better kill it before someone is hurt in this time.'
"I've got that covered!" He then pulled out his Invective as he took aim and shot. The tree seemed to yell in pain, considering Invective shoots incendiary Solar bullets, it should. The Hunter threw a knife at it as the tree caught fire, but the knife didn't move.
He channeled Solar power through a hidden string he has attached to each of his knives of the tree burned even quicker. IT was then the Hunter realized that the tree is dying faster than it should be. He didn't want to question anything so he shot off the roots from its base, completely immobilizing it as he sent Solar power to his right arm. A burst of fire came out as the Golden Gun had formed. He jumped on top of the tree and took aim.
"You're… a Sacred Gear user…"
'It speaks?!'
"What the hell is a Sacred Gear?" He set his foot ablaze to force the answer out from the tree. Monster. Thing.
"N…never…"
"Then those will be your parting words from this world." He pulls the trigger as a bullet of condensed fire pierces its trunk, as it begins burning into ashes. Once the fire stopped, it revealed the Hunter to be standing firm, still engulfed in his fire and his Golden Gun still in hand, with some slight purple in his fingertips. "Ghost, search up Sacred Gears in any database you can access. Whatever those things are, that thing mistook Golden Gun for one."
'Alright, I'll get on it. Also, I'm picking up five Humans dead in this area. It killed a few, so the ground is currently soaked in their blood.'
"Well, may their souls rest in peace as I have avenged them. Now we have to pass the night as we wait for you to finish the records. I think nature wants me dead now- wait what?" He disabled his flames with Golden Gun as he bends down and picks something he didn't expect.
He found four gray pawn chess pieces. "And scan these I guess when we have the time."
'Why would there be chess pieces? That's the last thing we would expect anything to drop upon its death, but alright, I'll scan them eventually.'
"Alright, than let's go before someone comes." He took the pieces with him as he then began walking away from the scene. Unknown to him, two people wearing robes had just seen his fight.
"Was that… really Saka?" The first one seemed smaller than the other.
"Interesting… so that is the Hunter you spoke of with a low amount of respect. He truly seems interesting." The taller figure then turned around and left as the smaller one followed behind.
