The Warriors Of Light Past And Present

Chapter 1 A Light Restored

The traveler a mysterious being that was discovered on the surface of mars and the all powerful being that uplifted humanity and allowed them to spread out through the stars bringing forth a new golden age for humanity as the human race settled through out the universe.

But things don't last forever and after years of prosperity and peace in there golden age things began to change and it through out the universe it arrived, the darkness.

The darkness came and engulfed humanity planet by planet, the darkness overran humanity casting them out of there golden age and being the fall of humanity. No matter what humanity did they could not stop the darkness and it creatures.

Eventually humanity was forced back to earth their home but even then they could not hold back the darkness as it came and torn there world apart until the traveler brought forth its great power to drive back to darkness giving humanity a chance to fight back and they did with the help of the traveler they fought a great battle to hold there last bastion.

But after the great battle with the darkness the traveler had become weakened and before falling into a deep silence it sent out its light one last time, the ghosts the beings that would bring forth the lights greatest weapons that would fight back the darkness.

These ghost went out scattering across the system search for the greatest warrior to fight the darkness and so the guardians were brought forth un killable warriors that even after death would return again to fight the darkness.

It has been long times since that day and the guardians had fought the darkness back each day never faltering never retreating and the there were still ghosts out there searching for there guardian and this is where are story begins in the ruins of old Russia where a ghost had finally found its guardian.

(Old Russia, the cosmodrome)

"there here somewhere" a voice said as a small mechanical ball floated over a rock as it scanned the ground as it moved, this was a ghost.

"i'm getting closer" the ghost said as it moved towards a wrecked car as it floated though the window of the car before seeing a set of bones "is this them" it said as it scanned the bones.

"no" the ghost said as he stopped scanning before floating out of the car before moving around before stopping and looking up seeing a set of bones against a large rock side.

"that has to be them" the ghost said as it floated quickly over to the pile of bones "yes" it said as it scanned the bones before stopping and moving away from it.

"rise guardian rise and drive out the darkness" the ghost said as it separated into several smaller pieces exposing the brilliant shinning light within "now return" it said as the light within it expanded forming an orb round the bones so bright it was blinding.

when the light finally died down what was here was a body clothed in a light combat suit "vital signs returning will wake soon" the ghost said as it looked down at the body, no the person it had brought back.

"basic scans in progress" the ghost said as it scanned the newly reborn person on the ground "species awoken" it continued as it began to scan the awoken face.

The newly revied awoken possessed sharp features an very short hair with the standard awoken features, glowing blue skin and piercing yellow eyes that glowed with some sort of power.

"scans complete titan signature confirmed currently inactive" the ghost said as it looked down to see a small spark come of the hand of the awoken "now to wait" the ghost said as it waited for the new born guardian to wake.

the ghost didn't have to wait long as soon the awoken woke but with violent roar "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" the guardian violently lurched upwards gasping for air before lunging forward tripping and falling onto his knees.

"where came i" the guardian gasped as he took in several deep gasps as he tried to slow his breathing as he looked down at his shaky hands before looking up seeing the ghost "guardian" it said as the guardian lurched.

"ahhhh" the guardian roared as he held his head as visions of places,people and other things "what was that" he gasped out as the ghost floated to him.

"the connection had be established you are reborn guardian" the ghost said as the man looked at it before talking "i was dead how did i…" the man started only for a roar ring thought the scrap yard round him "now is not time guardian we have to go" the ghost said as it floated way towards a gargantuan rusted wall.

"come on guardian we have to move" the ghost said as it turned round to see the man struggling to get to his feet "hurry" the ghost repeated as the guardian got to his feet only to fall to the ground "i can't i just my leg won't stand" the man said as the ghost floated back to him.

"recovery slow not good" the ghost said as it move around before looking at the guardian "guardian relax i will get us out of here" the ghost said as it float towards his chest before entering his body like some kind of spirit.

"aaaaaaa" the man gaps as he held his hands on his chest where the ghost had entered his body before letting out a roar as his body clenched up before he heard a voice "symbios control achieve running at seventy-thrity control advancing to eighty-twenty" the voice range out in the mans head.

"what the" the man said as he head heard the voice in his head before his body suddenly moved standing without any signs of struggle before breaking off into a sprint towards a entrance in the wall "what my body is moving on its own" the man thought as he felt like a puppet on strings and his body sprinted into the entrance and up two flights of stairs before slowing down to a walk as the roars behind them faded out.

"why is my body moving on its own" the man said as a voice rang out in his head "i have taken control of eighty percent of your body to remove us from danger" the ghost said as he moved the guardians body through the corridors before stopping on a open area showing a large area of the inside of the wall.

"we need light fallen thrive in the darkness" the ghost said as the man answered confused "fallen" he said before roaring in pain as a new set of images and information forced its way into his head.

"i will fix these lights" the ghost said before leaving the mans body causing his to gasp out as he fell to the ground with no strength in his body "what going on" he gasped out as the ghost turned round to look at him.

"your recovery is is not working fast enough to bring you back to your prime so i will have to enhance it by merging with your body" the ghost said before flying off into the large area past some large pipes as the ghost illuminated small parts of the surrounding area as it navigated through the darkness before disappearing.

"machine where are you" the man gasped out as he looked round the darkness as he heres little screeches and roars before the lights came on dispelling the darkness revealing loads of creatures crawling across the pipes "shit" the man said as he saw these creatures scuttling across the pipes towards him.

"guardian we have to go come on" the ghost said as it floated into the mans chest again causing him to clench up before standing up and ducking under a low shutter before running down a corridor.

"guardian were going to have to fight" the ghost said as he moved the mans body to a gun that lay on the ground an old assault rife common in the golden age.

"guardian i have to lower the control on your body all i will be able to do is allow you movement you will have to do the rest now pick up that gun and fight" the ghost said as the man felt his body functions return to him as he reached down and picked up the gun adjusting it in his hands before he began to run down the corridor before stopping when he heard noises.

"there they are fire" the ghost said as the man levelled the guns sights on the creatures "fallen" he said as his eyes dilated and he pulled the trigger with a scary calmness.

"dead" the man said as he walked away from the bodies and across a bridge before stopping at the end "guardian open that box i'm directing munitions" the ghosted said as the man pulled open the box and pulling out a shotgun golden era like the assault rifle.

"aaaa" the man groan out as he fell against a wall as he began taking in several deep breaths "we must hurry my control is slipping estimate fifteen minutes before i cannot remain in your body helping you" the ghost said as the man let out a dark laugh.

"better get moving then" the man said as he rushed through the corridors gunning down fallen as they came while moving round the holo wires until he reached a larger room "machine how long left" the man said as he looked round seeing fallen crawling out from behind pillars.

"i am a ghost guardian and you have nine minutes twenty three seconds remaining" the ghost said as the man rushed to cover before unleashing a hail of bullets into the fallen killing three dregs before his clip ended before he rushed forward before firing his shotgun with his left hand killing a vandal that had jumped towards him.

"ahhhhhhh shit" the man said as he felt a knife pierce his body as the man turned to see a vandal behind him as the man felt a voltage run through his body before letting out a roar and swinging fist towards the vandal smashing into the vandals face sending it flying as sparks flew off the mans fist "thats new" the man said as he moved out the room and into a large pipe bigger than any man.

"were gonna make it" the man said as he ran out of the pipe and into a open area with rundown building on all sides as he rushed to the middle "shit" the man said as he slowed to a stop at the sight of a group of fallen scuttling towards him.

"die" the man said as his body seemed to move on its own as his arms went back as sparks came off his hand and formed a ball before the man threw his arm forward launching the ball of sparks at the fallen as it sailed threw the air before exploding killing the whole group.

"yes" the man said before falling to the ground "what why can't i move whats going on ghost" the man gasped out as he lay there on the ground on his stomach unable to move.

"time has run out i can not symbiosis with your body anymore or i risk causing serious damage to myself and you" the ghost said as he floated out of the mans back.

suddenly a growl interrupted there talking as the man forced his head to move to see a vandal standing back up and walking towards him finish him off "shit" the man said as the vandal stood above him with a static knife.

"this is the end great second life" the man thought as he awaited his second death only to hear a gun shot ring through the air and the vandal to fall to the ground "what" the man thought as he heard foot steps approaching him.

"great now there fighting over who is going to kill me" the man said as the ghost floated to him "its not a fallen your luck is something else" the ghost said as the man tried to move his head to see what was coming towards him.

"here it comes" the man thought as he closed his eyes as he waited to be finished off only to open his eyes again when he heard a voice "so this the titan signature that popped up" a voice said causing the man to try to move to see the owner of said voice.

"right we getting out of here" the voice said as it move into the line of sight of the man as the voices owner crouched in front of him "i'm Volya kazankov and I'm taking you back to the tower" the voice said with a thick accent as the awoken looked at the newly named Volya.

Volya was clothed in in a long black hooded cloak that went down to his knees with a black combat suit with a light chest piece and a small shoulder pad that held a set of combat knives with a smaller band on his wrist holding some bullets and a holster on both of his thighs holding pistols and then black boots and to top it off a black helmet with a white visor.

"lets go the fallen will return soon" Volya said as he reached down and picked up the awoken and placed his arm over his shoulder and began to carry the man on his shoulder "what you name" Volya said as he began to to walk towards an opening past some of the buildings.

"my name ahhh" the awoken said before groaning in pain as more images and information appeared in his head my name, my name is Udax" the newly named Udax said as Volya nodded before he came to a shutter before holding out his free hand towards a control panel as a ghost floated out and began shooting smaller beams into the panel before the shutter started moving and opening.

"you have one to" Udax said as he looked at the ghost as it returned to Volya as he pulled Udax up to get a better hold of him as he continued to carry him through the corridor.

"yes all guardians have ghosts they are what brought us back from the dead and what prevent us from staying dead" Volya said as Udax looked at him as Volya carried him through the corridor of the desolate buildings "so your one of these guardians as well" Udax said as he looked at Volya.

"yes i am a guardian as you are we are one in the same, you are a titan while i am a hunter we are the same while different as well" Volya said as they came to a stop at a door way to another open room.

"bloody fallen" Volya said as he looked into the room as Udax lent to the side on Volya's shoulder to see what was in the room. what was in the room as a ship "aaaa" Udax groaned as he got another set of information "kestrel class AX" Udax groaned out.

"good the information link works now to get rid of these fallen" Volya said as Udax looked up again to see Volya putting him on the ground before moving forward as Udax looked up to see a bigger fallen "captain" he whispered out.

"what the" Volya said as he looked further into the room only to see a group of three fallen vandals beating on a forth vandal "good let them kill each other" Volya thought as he rushed forward towards the captain on the other side of the room.

"down" Volya thought as he threw forward a flash bang towards the captain exploding stunning the captain as he rushed forward putting the barrel of the gun against its head before firing his sniper blasting through the captains shields and through the captains head.

He then turned to the group of fallen that had turned to him to attack him as the forth one dived to the side away from them as Volya turned his rifle and downed the three vandals before aiming at the pillar that the final vandal was hiding behind.

"its just one vandal this will be quick" Volya thought as he moved towards the pillar only for the vandal to do nothing as he got closer and closer until he heard a bang on the wall to his right causing him to turn to the right.

"shit" he thought as he turned his head back to see the fallen right in font of him as he tried to turn his gun round to shot it only for it to tackle him to the ground and begin to lay into him with blow upon blow from each of its arms as Volya used his rifle as a shield.

"get off" Volya shouted in his head as kicked upwards knocking to fallen off him as he sprang to his feet only for the fallen to launch another attack knocking the rifle out of his hands causing Volya to raise his hands in defence.

the fallen threw froward its two arms on the right making Volya to move his arms to block only for the lower arms fist to get under his arm hitting his side causing him to grunt in pain as he swung his left arm to hit the fallen only to blocked by the fallen upper left arm while the other struck him in the head.

"dam" he thought as moved backwards as the vandal followed him giving him no break from its assault. Volya then threw his left fist forward as his right hand went to his shoulder holster before lowering it back to his side.

the fallen caught his fist as it went to hit Volya head with its other arm only for him to rush forward leaving only inches between them as he thrusted his right arm forward as the fallen caught his wrist only for him to open his hand to reveal a knife as he spun it in his hand before stabbing it into the fallen arm as it slammed its head against Volya causing him to fall back onto the ground.

the fallen rushed forward to finish him off only for him to hold up his hand as the fallen was just above him before Volya opened his hand revealing a flash bang.

"got you" Volya thought as the flash bang went off causing the fallen to fall back onto the ground holding its eyes with all its arms as Volya pulled himself to his feet as his arm lay limp at his side as he picked up his rifle with is good hand as he placed it onto his back as he drew his pistol and placed it against the fallen head only to be shocked when the fallen shouted.

"WAIT HUMAN WAIT" the fallen called out in a booming tone as Volya froze as he looked down at the fallen as it held all its hands up.

"i give up" the fallen said as as it stood up as Volya kept his gun trained on the fallen as it held its hands up in surrender as Volya stood there trying to come up with a plan as he turned his head to here roars and screeches in the distance as they grew closer "the devils draw closer" the fallen said as it looked at Volya.

"shit" he said as he towards his ship as the ghost floated off before returning with something as he walked up to the fallen before wrapping hard light bands round the fallen hands trapping them all in one place before pulling the fallen to his ship before teleporting it onto his ship before running back to Udax.

"come on lets go" Volya said as he picked Udax up and carried hm to the ships as the noise grew louder and louder as they reached the ship only to turn round to see fallen rushing into the room as the teleported onto the ship as it began to take off as the fallen opened fire on the ship as it gained lift as it moved out of the building before flying off a high speeds.

"fuck that was close" Volya said as he lend back in his chair in his ship as it sped through the sky "ghost take us back to the tower" he said as his ghost floated out of him and to the helm of the ship as it began to move the ship as Volya let go of the helm.

"so Udax was it" Volya said as he looked at the awoken who was sat behind him opening and closing his hand before he looked back at him and responded.

"yeah thats my name" he said as Volya looked at him before sighing "can you move yet" he asked as Udax's tried to move his legs only for them to move a little before falling limp again.

"don't worry when we get to the tower you will be okay" Volya said as he lent back in his chair and relaxed.

(thirty minutes later)

"awoken were here" Volya said as they arrived at the last city with the traveller floating above it "tower this is hunter 470 requesting to land" Volya said as Udax looked at him before a voice spoke back.

"this is tower we have received your landing codes prepare for teleportation" the voice said as Volya spoke again "tower i have two others with me over".

"information received activating teleportation of you and your passengers" the voice said as in a flash of light they were gone.

"what the" Udax said as he opened his eyes only to open them to see his new surroundings gone was the small ship cockpit and in its place was an open plaza area filled with people some wearing the same style of armour as Volya others wearing heavy armour making them moving tanks while a small number wore robe style armour.

"wait a minute" Udax thought as he moved to his feet with no effort at all "i could barley move before even after resting i still couldn't stand but here i am standing perfectly fine" Udax thought as he looked up to see all the people in the plaza take out there guns and aim them at the fallen that was laying on the ground next to Volya's feet.

"hunter what is this" a voice shouted as a man from the sound of the voice walked forward clothed in heavy armour showing his status as a titan.

"I'm taking this fallen to the vanguard they will want to see this fallen" Volya said as he looked right at the titan before bending down grabbing the edges of the hard light bands before pulling the fallen to its feet.

"no we kill the fallen and thats the end off it" the titan said as he stood in the way of Volya before he pushed the titan out of the way before walking away as everybody kept there guns trained on the fallen "come on awoken" Volya said as Udax jogged to Volya wobbling a bit as he tried to keep his balance.

"Volya" Udax said as he slowed down and began to walk alongside he as Volya dragged the fallen along with them down to sets of stairs before reaching a short corridor with two desks ether side of it with several robots that where walking round doing there duties.

"GUARDIAN" a voice shouted as a man stepped out in front of them he was clothed in light titan armour with orange stripes across it with fur shoulder and a horned helmet with one of the horns broken off.

"lord Shaxx" Volya said as he lowered his head to him "what is this fallen doing on the tower and why is it not dead" Shaxx said as he looked straight at the fallen as it lent forward towards him.

"I'm taking it to the vanguard lord Shaxx they will want to see it" Volya said as he kept his head lowered as he spoke as Shaxx walked towards the fallen before grabbing its throat as it growled at him.

"lord Shaxx please allow me to take the fallen to the vanguard they will want this fallen alive" dangle said as he looked up at Shaxx before Shaxx tighten his grip as the fallen breathing became more impaired before he let go and walked away fist clenched.

"be quick or i'll kill it regardless of what the vanguard think" Shaxx said as he kept his back to them as Volya bowed his head before walking away quickly followed by Udax as he looked back at Shaxx before turning back to where they were going.

As they reached the end of the corridor they were confronted with a room while not large it was big enough to hold a large amount of consoles with a large table in the middle with three very different people stood round it.

"vanguard i have something that you must see" Volya said as he bowed his head to the three people stood round the table as Udax stood there looking at the three people the closet one to them was a woman with a dark complexion with no hair wearing a robe style armour like what he had seen on some of the people outside.

the second one on the other side of the table was a robot with a metallic horn in the centre wearing a long cloak like Volya and the final one was like him an awoken wearing heavy titan armour.

"hunter i know i said i wanted to be out on in the field but i didn't want you to bring the creatures here" the robot said before he was interrupted by the awoken "Cayde this is not something to joke about".

"well you know somebody might have final listen to my and brought me a gift Zavala" the newly named Cayde said as he looked at Zavala before they were both interrupted by the woman in robes.

"hunter why have you brought a fallen to us" the woman said as Volya looked up at her before speaking "lady Ikora i think you three will want to hear what this fallen has to say".

"what do you mean has to say" Ikora said as all three looked at Volya before they surprised by a voice behind Volya.

"can i speak yet" the voice said as all three vanguard members turned to the fallen as it moved forward "a fallen that can talk" Zavala said as he lent forward looking straight at the fallen.

"well this certainly is a surprise" Cayde said as he lend back as he looked at the fallen as Ikora walked forward as Volya moved back allowing her to walk round the fallen looking at it.

as she walked round the fallen Udax and Volya got a good look at the vandal that had been dragged along with them. the vandal was mostly normal looking for a member of the fallen race the only differences where that this fallen was slightly smaller and thinner that the normal fallen vandal but the main difference was the green cloak that is was wearing over its shoulders and down to the middle of its back.

the difference was that this clock held none of the making of the fallen houses on earth instead what was there was a marking of several lines with four circles "what is it Ikora" Zavala said as Ikora walked away from the fallen.

"i don't know the marking this is not a fallen from the house of devils or any other i know of at this moment i would have to check the archives to be sure" Ikora said as she looked ta the other vanguard members but before ether of the two could answer the fallen spoke.

"can i speak" the fallen said as the vanguard turned to the fallen before it continued "i am not member of the fallen houses of earth i hail from the house of judgement and have nothing t do with any other house" the fallen said as the vanguard took the information in before responding.

"then why are you here on earth" Ikora said as she looked at the fallen "i am here to look for something records devils stole them i must find them" the fallen said as Ikora looked down in deep thought.

"i have an idea fallen" Cayde said as the fallen turned to him "yes" it said as Cayde moved towards the fallen stopping just in front of it.

"how about this you we help you find the records your looking for and you tell us everything you know about the house of devils and any new information you find deal" Cayde said as he held out his hand towards the fallen as he looked it in the eyes all four of them.

"deal" it said as it moved its bound hands to return the gesture quite clumsily before Cayde spoke again "well i can now say I'm the only person who has ever shook a fallen hands" Cayde said before he walked to Volya.

"well done hunter you impress me keep this up and i'll end up sneaking onto your missions" Cayde said as he walked away with the fallen in tow soon joined by two guardians stood around the room.

"is there anything else hunter" Zavala said as he looked at Volya and Udax who stood near him "i have a new guardian that i found in the divide in the cosmodrome" Volya said as he moved forward as Zavala walked up to Udax.

"welcome new guardian i am commander Zavala vanguard mentor for the titans i will guide you on your path as a guardian and as a titan" Zavala said as he shook Volya hand before turning to Udax.

"take him round the tower show him what he needs to know" Zavala said as Volya nodded as he and Udax turned and left the room leaving Ikora and Zavala "a talking fallen" Ikora said as she looked at Zavala before saying one last thing.

"what will happen now"
