"Hey! Leone!" one of the Imperial Soldiers calls out.
Leone waves back at her childhood friends. "Sup," the lion brawler responds.
The soldiers whisper something to each other. "Actually, how 'bout you-huh?"
They get surprised to see her not there. In fact, she's in the hallway on the side sleeping peacefully.
"Tatsumi, Sheele, Lubbock, everyone... I'll see you there."
Then, a bright flash of Light envelops her 1,700 year-old corpse and brings about a new force of Light!
Ah, welcome to the first episo-I mean chapter of Assassins of Light. Just want to make a few points before we start:
One: How has almost no one else thought of a crossover like this?!
Two: This is a parallel story to the Undertale x Destiny story, Souls of Light, and starts when Fireteams Ebott and Draco (skip for spoilers) Oryx. If you enjoy Undertale and/or want to know more about what happened before this crossover, check out SoL first.
Otherwise, enjoy!
Opening: Legends - JT Machinima
Chapter 1: Kill the Recruit
The Taken King is dead. He has haunted the minds of many civilians and Guardians alike. He took many lives of some of the boldest soldiers of the Light.
Now, he is no more thanks to the help of two of the strongest fireteams around. The news spread like wildfire. Soon, the Taken forces will subside, and peace can once again flow within the hearts of the inhabitants of the Last City.
A figure leans on the railing of the edge of the Tower, the home of the Guardians where they ready up for their missions. This man is Tatsumi, the best Warlock swordsman around and second best in general to Lord Shaxx.
"So, the king has been dethroned," a feminine voice calls from behind.
Her name is Mine. As an expert sniper and a stealthy Hunter, she is one of the valuable Vanguards scouts along with Shiro-4.
"Yeah, Mine. It's been a hard battle, but we made it through," Tatsumi answers.
The Hunter walks up next to the Warlock and sits on the railing. She places her hands on his cheeks. "Well, we made it through anyways. I was thinking that we should celebrate. But first..."
"Oh, right."
They place their lips together for a quick kiss.
Ok, maybe it was for more than a minute, but this is going to happen:
"Uh, Guardians?" a robotic voice interrupts.
The couple break their kiss and focus on Cayde-6, the Hunter Vanguard. "Am I interrupting something?"
"No, no, carry on," Tatsumi answers.
He smashes his fists together. "Now, seeing that you only have two people in your group, you can't be considered a fireteam JUST yet."
"Yeah, we already know that!" Mine retorts. "Get to your point!"
"Anyways, we have just found a potential subject as your third teammate in Old France. The Vanguard recommend you head over there right away, or the source of Light will fade."
They get surprised.
Not because of the new Guardian (actually, that's only part of it) but because of the location."Wait, didn't your friends just detect the Fallen going to Old Paris?"
"Yes. You will have to go through them in order to get your new friend."
That kind of disappointed the Guardian couple, but they're really not getting another chance at getting a new wielder of the Light anytime soon. "If this is the only shot we have, we'll accept!" Tatsumi responds.
Cayde smiles unobviously. "Great! What'cha think, Mine?"
"Count me in as well!" she says as her Ghost, Sheele, materializes a modified, Pre-Golden Age Sniper Rifle.
"I see, going in with the big guns," her boyfriend says. "Bro, the sword."
"You got it," his Ghost replies.
The very sword that the Warlock used to destroy the Black Garden forms in the grip of his right hand along with the winged armor that comes with it.
"Damn, as always, you look badass!" Cayde compliments. "Now, get out there!"
The House of Kings Archon, Harkis, sits on his elegant throne with the excitement to capture this run-down city and make it his new kingdom. His adversary comes into the room with great news regarding the Guardians.
"The Guardians are now gone," the adversary declares. "We can finally take over this place with your iron grip!"
Harkis clenches his hands together and makes an evil grin. "Yes," he groans.
Suddenly, the Captains of the front lines retreat into the throne room. "Harkis, we have a problem," one of them says.
Then, the door blasts open, killing the adversary and the Captains.
"Who dare invades my Ketch?!" Harkis yells.
The smoke clears, and two of those pesky Guardians are right behind it. The Archon curses underneath his breath and readies up his Scorch Cannon. "So, I believe you're the target we need to kill," the male one says.
Of course, they speak only English. It's a good thing that the Fallen lord studied their language. "Hah! Incompetent fools. You think I can die, yes?" He aims the Cannon right at their faces.
"Oh, being feisty, aren't you?" the female one remarks.
"I'll shit on you!"
"That's no good."
Harkis fires his Cannon at the Guardians, but they dodge the rocket in time. The Warlock flies forward with a sword while the Hunter sits back and shoots the alien's head. Its bullets' impacts stagger him long enough for the Warlock to deal a powerful blow to the heart, killing the Archon.
"No! My... kingdom..."
The Archon falls to the ground, dead.
"Phew!" Tatsumi sighs. "That's one Archon dead. Now, to get that Guardian!"
Mine collapses on the ground. "Seriously? We've been fighting Fallen for hours. Can't we just rest here for a few minutes?" she complains.
In a hurry, Sheele appears right next to her. "There's no time! You only have two minutes before the surge of Light fades." She then turns to the Warlock. "Tatsumi, Bulat, you have the Ghost, right?"
That's the other Ghost's cue to summon the boxed Ghost. "Yeah, got it," he assures. "Guardian, bash through the window; the source is just right outside the Ketch."
"Right," his Guardian says as he turns to his girlfriend. "I'll be right back, Mine. You can stay here if you want."
"No way! I may be tired, but I want to see our new teammate right away!"
He chuckles. "Alright. Let's go."
The Guardians jump through the window, land successfully, and run towards the marked point, an eerie hallway. They notice a huge burst of energy around the corpse. "Yep, this is the one." Sheele declares.
Tatsumi releases the Ghost and places it right next to the corpse.
"So, this is the new Guardian," the Ghost ponders. "I'll get you up soon enough."
Then, a bright flash of Light reanimates the corpse and brings about the new Guardian.
There's just one problem:
"What the-Leone! You were touched by the Light?!"
Done, and done!
I had to start this off with a bang, so why not with a cliffhanger? This is getting SPICY!
Also, for those following Souls of Light, I will go on with a couple chapters of this ending with a Trials of Osiris related thing and then go ahead with the other story.
This is only the start of a new Guardian! Stay tuned for more!
