"Guardian? Wake up! Oh god, they're almost here..." A female voice said, that was the first thing I heard once I woke up. How is this possible? I thought to myself. I knew that I should have been dead. "Yes! your're alive! We..." the voice didn't finish the sentrnce because of the gunshots that rang close by. After some barely audible sounds, something flew over me and landed with a thud.
I heard the crunch of metal and a alien voice saying something as I held my breath, hoping that it wouldn't notice me. I let my breath out a couple seconds later as the thing left.
"Are you ok?" I said to the injured thing as I finally found my voice. "Are you crazy warlock!?" the voice said. "Thats a fallen dreg! They are creatures of darkness and they are your ememy!" This made me confuzed. "This little... guy is injured, and I don't think that they can be that bad. So i'm gonna help it." It seemed to notice that I was approaching and it tried to acramble away.
"Get away from me. I-I'll k-kill you!" It threatened as i got closer, "Not with that leg you wont. Stay still, this is going to hurt." As quickly as possible I took his leg and examined it. The "dreg" looked at me, shocked after a solid second of hissing. "W-why?... Our races hate each other." I made some bandages from its little scarf. "Its not the best in the world, but it will do." I said as I ignored it's question. "I don't think we are different. Two souls just trying to survive."
"What's your name? Mine is Jay." I said when we got to a safe little room. "...Riksis..." it said just barely above a whisper. "Just for clarification, are you a male or female?" I asked. "Im what you call a "Male"." Great! Now we have a better chance of survival if he will cooperate. I thought to myself.
"We should find a place to rest. Can't survive long without shelter." I said while helping the now named Rixis. "I'm still so. confused." he wsipered to himself. "You'll be fine." I commented as we found a abandoned little town. We then set up shop at the top floor of a hotel.
"Ghost, Your new name is Tempest." I said while pulling her out. "Why is that?" She questioned once she materialised. "You are like a storm when you yell at me, henceforth, Tempest. " I explained. "Jokes on you, I like that name." There were some really cool armor that I found too. It was some old riot armor. It was the ones that were used during the golden age when the Exos would riot.
Right before sundown I got both Rixis and I some beans. Tempest warned me that we were in the European Dead Zone, and that everything is going to be barren. I resumed patching rixis up as best as I could, and I found proper medical supplies for him. There wasn't much talk after that. So I waited to make sure that he was asleep so he wouldn't stab me in the back, then I let the magical world of sleep take me once more.
