Destiny's Tale
"I don't own Destiny, Bungie does. I just write fanfics of it."
"Guardian!" A robotic voice spoke.
Eurig started to wake up from his long slumber. His vision was blurred, but he could make out a small, strange, bright object floating in front of his face. He blinked and rubbed his eyes until his vision was more clear.
"Eyes up Guardian!" The voice said.
Eurig figured the voice came from the bright object in front of him, and he stared at it while it shined brighter and brighter. The object had a bright sphere in the center that looked like an eye of some sorts. Surrounding the sphere were small pyramid-like shapes that would break off and orbit the sphere as it got brighter. While it shined, Eurig could feel his energy replenishing, it helped him wake up. Eurig looked around and saw old, rusted cars filling up the landscape, and in front of him was a giant structure that led somewhere.
Suddenly the memories of what happened to Eurig started filling his mind. Memories of his last battle against the forces of darkness. He was in a team with three of his best friends, and they were all assigned to guard a civilian transport when they got ambushed by the evil Fallen. Eurig got impaled by a Fallen spear, which had ultimately killed him.
Eurig stood up, and started breathing heavily. He fell down to his knees, clutching at a spot on his stomach. The strange shape of light floated directly in front of Eurig's face, and started speaking to him with a trace of concern in it's voice.
"Hey! Relax. I've just revived you from the dead, so try to stay calm. I'm a Ghost, well actually I'm YOUR Ghost. There isn't much time for me to explain, I must get you to the Tower where the Speaker can talk to yo-"
There was an animal-like scream that interrupted Eurig's Ghost. Eurig knew that scream from anywhere. The Fallen have found them. After calming down, and catching his breath, Eurig stood up, looking as strong as he was all those years ago. He took a look at himself in a shattered mirror. He had on lightweight armor along with a small white cloak. There was a knife holstered on his belt, tied around his waist.
"Fallen!" Eurig's Ghost shouted. "We need to get you a gun, and then find a ship to get out of here and to the Tower!"
Eurig nodded and looked at the large metal structure in front of him. "Guess we're going in there." He said in a clear, deep tone.
"It's the only place nearby that could have a gun."
Eurig started sprinting into the metal structure, while the screams continued behind him. The sounds of his feet stomping on metal echoed through the empty building as he ran across the flooring. Above him, a creature was scattering in the old rusted vents. Eurig knew that the Fallen were right on his tail, and he pushed his limits to start running even faster.
"I found a weapon! On your right!" Eurig's Ghost said.
Eurig made a sharp turn into a hallway on his right, and he saw the weapon his Ghost was referring to resting up against the wall with its muzzle pointed upwards towards the ceiling. He slid down beside the gun and picked it up, and started examining it. The gun was an old auto rifle, and luckily for Eurig, it was in almost perfect condition. The only thing wrong with the gun was that the glass on the reflex sight was slightly cracked. It didn't even interfere with Eurig's vision when he aimed down. Eurig's Ghost stood above his shoulder, acting as a flashlight while he examined the gun. Eurig grabbed a few magazines that were filled with bullets and continued running forward.
"I hope you remember how to use that thing…" Eurig's Ghost said.
"Eh… It'll come back to me." Eurig replied.
"That doesn't make me very confident."
"Don't worry about it bud."
Eurig ran down a hallway where a group of Dreg were waiting. Eurig pulled the trigger, and with a few clicks, the gun fired a few rounds into the first Dreg, the life faded away from it as it fell back. Eurig pulled out his knife from his holster and stabbed another Dreg in the chest as he fired a few rounds into a third Dreg. Both of the enemies fell down as Eurig pulled his knife out of the dark creature's chest, and placed his knife back into his holster.
Further down the hall, there was an opening that led outside, A sigh of relief exited from the Guardian's mouth as he approached the hole. Eurig's Ghost disappeared into Eurig's backpack as they exited the dark structure and entered the warm and sunny outside.
The sun was shining bright, Eurig placed a hand over his eyes to avoid the direct sunlight until his visor darkened. It was a nice and peaceful afternoon. Besides the fact that multiple enemies were following behind Eurig. Eurig looked around the surrounding area, and he saw a large hole about half a mile away that led into a different section of the metal structure. Suddenly, three Guardians started backing out of the hole as they fired at something that was following them. After the Guardians were a good distance away, a large Fallen enemy came out.
"So... That thing is big. What is that?"
"That's an Archon! They are in real trouble, and we should help them!" Eurig's Ghost replied.
"That didn't answer my question."
Archons were known for being really dangerous, and it's not just because of their large size. They carry heavy weapons that can seriously pack a punch.
Eurig nodded and started running towards the three Guardians. One of them was wearing heavy, strong looking armor, and looked like a tank. Another wore robes, and resembled something like a mage. The last one was wearing very similar armor to Eurig's armor, and looked like an assassin. Eurig pressed down on the side of his helmet to activate his comms.
"This is Eurig, contacting the three Guardians who are trying to take on that uh... Acorn thing. You guys seem like you could use some help." he said.
Eurig's ghost suddenly appeared in front of him, and spoke with a hint of annoyance "Archon."
Eurig sighed and tilted his head "Whatever. Anyway, I'm coming to help!"
Eurig noticed the mage-like Guardian looking looking around for him, and stopped when they saw him. Then they pressed down on their side of the helmet, and a familiar female voice spoke back to him.
"Eurig!? About time you showed up!" She said.
"Teale? That you? Also, what do you mean by 'About time' ?"
It was Teale, one of Eurig's friends that were with him and led the team during their last battle. Eurig ran down hills and through small destroyed structures until he got behind a downed plane. Two of the three other Guardians ran behind the plane with him and they both took off their helmets to reveal that they were both Teale and Azure. Teale being the mage-like Guardian, and Azure was in similar armor as Eurig, with a few differences on where the light armor plates were located. Azure smiled as she hugged Eurig.
"Really missed you buddy." Azure said. "We can catch up later though, there's a giant thingy trying to kill us."
Azure moved away from Eurig and pulled out her weapon. Teale did the same. Eurig remembered that there was one other Guardian and looked around for them.
"Where's the other perso-" Eurig began to say before he was cut off by yelling.
Overhead, the tank-like Guardian flew, possibly due to being thrown by the Archon Fallen, over the plane and landed a few feet away from the group with a loud thud. The Guardian raised their head up to look at the other three and then gave them all a thumbs up before letting their head fall back to the ground with a groan. Eurig immediately knew who it was.
"Getting tossed around as usual, Legolas?" Eurig said.
The Guardian on the ground let out a little chuckle "Heh nice to see you too Eurig." He replied.
Legolas was Eurig's best friend, and they both show excellent teamwork together in the past. Eurig walked up to his old friend and helped him up. The two fist-bumped each other and focused on the task at hand. Eurig slid on his helmet and nodded towards his old friend.
Teale and Azure already had their helmets on and jumped on top of the plane that they were using for cover and began firing at the Fallen army that were approaching them. Eurig and Legolas each placed a new magazine in their weapons and rushed out from behind the plane. The two ran towards the Archon which had a giant cannon for a weapon. A cannon shot was fired towards Eurig, and he quickly rolled out of the way just before it collided with the spot he was previously at and exploded into a fiery explosion. Legolas was already half way from the Archon when Eurig started running towards it again.
A Vandal that was cloaked and now de-cloaked, suddenly appeared in front of Eurig, it drew a small sword and began to swing it at him. He pulled up his gun to hopefully block the attack, but suddenly there was a loud bang, and the Vandal fell. Eurig looked behind him and saw Azure with a sniper rifle.
"I gotcha covered!" She shouted as she placed a new magazine in her rifle.
Eurig continued running towards the Archon, he saw multiple Vandal's in front of him dissolve into nothingness as the two girls behind him emptied their magazines into the evil creatures. Eurig was now just a few feet from the Archon, Legolas was already attacking the giant head on with a shotgun. The Archon screeched as bullets contacted it's shield as it was almost depleted empty with a single shot. The Archon quickly turned to look at Eurig, and it growled upon seeing him. Eurig raised his auto rifle up to the Archon's head, and looked at it's anger-filled face through the broken sights. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, the Archon threw a punch at Eurig, which covered his sight, and suddenly he blacked out.
"Eurig! … Eurig! … Eyes up Guardian!" a familiar sounding voice said.
Eurig opened his eyes, and saw his legs in a blurred vision. He wondered why he was looking at his les through his broken sight on his rifle, but he turned to see his gun on the ground a few inches away from him. Glass fell from his visor as he moved his head, and ultimately he just took off his helmet, and looked the visor. How did this happen? He thought. He tossed his helmet aside and lifted his head up to see two blurry figures fighting each other. One was much more larger than the other. The image began to clear, and Eurig realized it was his friend, Legolas, fighting a Fallen Archon. He suddenly remembered what happened to him. Just before Eurig was about to pull the trigger on his gun earlier, the Archon punched him in the head, and sent him flying across the area until his back hit the wall. The powerful punch must of caused his visor to break.
"Eurig!" The voice spoke again. Eurig remembered about his Ghost that had brought him back from the dead, and his ghost was doing it's best to heal up it's partner.
Without a word, Eurig stood up, and started limping towards his friend and the Archon. Legolas was fighting the enemy head on with his fists that glowed a fiery color during each punch, almost as though his fists were made of fire. The Archon screeched in pain as the punches landed, almost as though it were burned. As Eurig approached the two, he clenched his fist, and a dark purple aura began to surround him. A dark purple bow began to form at his clenched fist, and a purple arrow in his other.
"Nightstalker… Eurig, you carry one of the rare void abilities." Eurig's Ghost said
The Archon was only able to push Legolas back, but he recovered quickly. Legolas began glowing a fiery aura and a fire colored hammer began forming at his hand, Legolas looked at Eurig, who had stopped walking towards the Archon and began aiming at the enemy, and he nodded towards his friend. Eurig noticed this and nodded back. Legolas had generated two hammers, one in each hand. Eurig had aimed his bow and arrow at the Archon and took in a deep breath.
"FIRE!" Eurig yelled as he pulled the arrow back on the string and let go.
With a yell, Legolas threw both of his hammers at the Archon. A mix of light and dark engulfed the Archon whole. The Archon began screeching in massive pain as it disappeared into the flame and void. The whole attack ended in an instant with a large explosion. The Archon was no more.
Teale and Azure made their way down to Eurig and Legolas, and the four of them got together in one big group hug. Afterwards, Teale tended to Eurig's wounds while they all sat down and rested.
"Alright, THAT was pretty freaking cool." Teale said.
Legolas' Ghost floated above it's partner's head. His ghost had a dark green colored shell that had little spikes around it.
"An excellent display of teamwork I must say, combining the Nightstalker and Sunbreaker powers like that." The green Ghost said.
Eurig smiled and gave a thumbs up to Legolas. "Just like old times, eh?" He said.
Legolas gave a thumbs up as well. "Just like old times indeed." He replied.
Unbeknownst to the Guardians, there was more than just a Fallen Archon in the area. A Fallen Kell, a Fallen leader, watched them from a safe distance. Waiting for an appropriate time to strike the Guardians.
A/N: Took me five years but here it is. The start of a Destiny fan-fiction, written by me. Hope you like it. If not, then… I don't know, tell me what was wrong, or just flail like a maniac. Whatever works.
Tune in next time! Which will probably be a year or a lot of months before I make the next chapter...
