Chapter Two: Being Hunted
Before we knew it we were halfway down the corridor. Running for our lives, but Saren wasn't. Icarus couldn't take his mind off of what happened to her. He wished he could see her face one more time. Not this way though.
Saren smirked as her new dark body formed around her. She did the unthinkable, and bowed to Oryx. She turned towards them and ran. She shouted trying to fight whatever was pushing her against her will. She laughed as she took chase. Her helmet was cracked and there were visible dents in the chestplate. "Come back!" She yelled attempting to trick them.
Icarus looked back and noticed Saren. She didn't seem like she was before, it's as if she was… Taken. Oryx didn't kill Saren, he took her. As Icarus made this shocking realization, he ran as fast as he could, gripping his right arm. The gears in his mechanical arm were dropping on the ground making click and clang noises. Icarus hopped in his ship, The Aspect of Glass, and steps on it following Kinkryn who's in the Fang of the Nyx. They were headed towards Earth to, The Last City.
Saren yelled again, "Guys stop!" She says as two Knights follow closely, shooting at the ships instead of her. Kinkryn never looked back once, on the other hand, Icarus couldn't help it. He knew Saren was still in that… thing. They sped away from Dreadnaught, with Saren following as Taken Knights shot at our ship. Saren unexpectedly started chasing them.
After a long time of dodging asteroids and Hive scouts they finally made it back to Earth's Last City. They parked their ships in such speed they almost smashed into other ships. Good thing Poe was the dock manager or they would've been scrapped. Saren's Seeker soon docked as her Taken body smirk, her usual white hair now had strands of black, and half her usable eye was black and the other was blue. The chase had now started on foot.
"Guys what's going on?" Poe asked stepping out of the dock room and also followed next to Kinkryn.
"That bitch is psychotic!" Kinkryn exclaimed, "first she dies or something? And then she starts chasing us!"
"Who is chasing you guys?!" Poe asked confused.
"First, she's not a bitch, Second, it's Saren!" Icarus said still holding his arm as they take a sharp right, "She not dead, she's being controlled or something!"
"Saren?" Poe asked, "How? She's too strong, there's no way!"
"Oryx was stronger than we thought," Icarus said, "He… did something to her!"
Poe gasps and quickly stops, "Tell me everything you know right now!" She yells angrily, she wasn't just angry, she was furious. "I'm not losing another sister god damn it!" She was basically crying at this point.
"Hey, I have a GREAT idea," Kinkryn said, "We get away from… Saren… or whatever she is now, then, you two can have some cute one on one time!"
"Oh shut up, Kinkryn!" Poe blushed, but she was still angry, "That was one time and I was drunk!"
"Yeah, quit it Kinkryn!" Icarus said, "It was still a good time though, right Poe?"
"Ugh, please stop!" Poe commanded.
"That sounded like something I heard that night." Kinkryn laughed as Poe slapped him.
Icarus looked back to notice Saren wasn't there. Great, he thought, we lost her. As if on cue she jumped over them and they stopped in their tracks. Saren pulled out the unknown weapon known as the Void Edge and started for Kinkryn, who then held up his shotgun and without hesitation pulled the the trigger send Saren twenty feet back into a crate full of cabbage. The store clerk starting slurring curse words towards them and called the Vanguard. Saren got out of the crate noticing the guards coming down and darted past Icarus knocking him off his feet. He looked back at her and she smirked, yet again. Poe pulled Icarus back up and took him along with her and Kinkryn. They headed into the alleys, then the streets, and to Poe's house. Once they got in Poe's piece of junk house, it was time for Icarus to explain what happened back at the Dreadnaught.
Poe slams the door shut and starts crying and sobbing, "Wh-wh… What was that!?'' It was hard to tell if she was upset or mad. She slammed her fist against the wall and sobbed her eyes out. Kinkryn and Icarus just couldn't come up with words to say to the white haired girl. They let her cry and stood back, since both didn't have any family they couldn't imagine what she's going through. She slowly started to collapse and leaned against the wall. "Why… Did you even try to help her?! Did you let him do that damn it?!"
Icarus stood there unmoving as he said, "I tried… I really did…" His tone was sad and it seemed like he could barely force out the words to respond to her. Poe noticed this, not only was he a bad liar but his voice tore her to pieces. She stood up and sighed looking out the broken glass window, rain was starting to pour. "M-maybe you should stay… I don't want you going out now." Her mood changed and shifted to a much more nice one. Kinkryn didn't even want to make a joke about the two, he still was shocked over what happened. He wondered where she could be now.
Saren smiled making her way back to the Tower, she knew nobody could tell with her armor shader on, "They would accept me…" She mumbles walking around the tower making sure to keep her head down. She walked up to Zavala telling him swiftly that Oryx was dead and the Dreadnaught was empty and useless, he smiled and nodded handing her and upgraded Hawkmoon engraved with her name, Cayde-6 nodded saying, "Say thanks." She giggled at him, even her Taken form liked the Hunter Vanguard. She took the weapon and quickly ran out of the room and back to the main area. She aimed the Hawkmoon at the Gunsmith and pulled the trigger.
