JADE'S POINT OF VIEW
"If we don't make it, just know that I enjoyed being with you girls." "Likewise Ed" was the last sentence we said to him before going through the portal. We went through, for absolutely nothing to happen, except for us to land in a open space in a forest. The team stayed silent for a minute. "So..." Orisa started before trailing off, "Where are we? Jade?" "Don't look at me. Emily?" "Nothing. Jasmine?" "Nope. Angelica?" "Nada. How 'bout you Ed?" No response. "Hey, Ed, you there?" Nothing again. I begin to worry and call out his name. "Eddy, sweety, please respond!" Silence. 'What if the transition affected him? What if the pressure was too much for him?' My motherly fears started to come in play as I thought of the worst scenarios before, "Sorry girls. There was a system malfunction with the comms. Anyways, James was able to hack into a nearby communications tower in this place. We're apparently in a planet called Remnant. There's a city nearby. We could go but we need to leave the jumpships somewhere safe. There's a cave really close by. Any questions?" His angelic, shy voice was heard through the ghost. Everyone agreed to the idea. I relaxed a bit, knowing now that he was safe. Yet, I still couldn't shake off the feeling that something bad was going to happen to him. Maybe it's just me being paranoid. "Jade. Hurry up. We need to get moving before it gets dark." "Huh? Oh! Right. Right behind you Orisa.
"So... this is Vale. It's almost like the city in Mars. Except not in sand, not demolished, and no constant fighting of Cabal, Vex or Taken." Jasmine spoke as she read the sign. "Looks lovely. I wouldn't mind living here." Orisa said while leaning towards Ed. "What do you think 'lil bro'?... Ed?" Everyone turned to see that Ed wasn't there next to us, but instead on his way to Vale. "Ed wait up!"
ED'S POINT OF VIEW
We walked around the city for about a good hour, it was already sunset so not alot of people were out. Those who did see us, however, gave us confused looks or greeted us by calling the girls huntresses and me a huntsman. We either greeted back or just wave and kept walking. As we walked, I started hearing some commotion in the docks. I thought it was nothing until I saw smoke rising up from there. The girls turn to the smoke, then turn to me. I only stare at them. Jade sighs. "Let's-" I didn't let her finish as I start sprinting towards the smoke, occasionally blinking, gliding, or triple jumping, even wall running because of the amount of momentum I had and having Headstrong on Striker for the moment. "- go, before Ed goes overboard and has a nervous breakdown with whoever he's saving." Angelica continues before running after me. When we got there, I noticed that there was a group surrounding a girl and a guy. The girl was wearing a black, sleeveless coat, an extremely large bow, white shorts that were really short, black stockings that faded to purple and high heeled boots. Her weapon seemed to be a cleaver with a... ribbon? attached to a katana. The guy had blond hair, a button shirt that was open to reveal his muscles, denim shorts, and red sneakers. His weapon looked like it was a bo staff that was composed of flintlock pistols. He also had a blond tail. Anyways, I turned- wait... he had a tail. A blond tail. What the fuck is this demontry? "Hey Orisa, am I seeing this right? The girl just fired a round off her katana and the boy just broke his staff to make nunchuckes made of pistols." I return from my thoughts to hear Emily say that, indeed, those actions have happened. 'This... is definitely not anywhere NEAR Earth.' I thought to myself. The two were fighting a guy with white trench coat, black dress pants and shoes. His bright orange hair covered his right eye and he also had a bowler hat. His weapon was... a cane. And he just shot a bullet from the cane. What the absolute fuck is going on in this place? "Ed! Heads up!" I heard Angelica say as a spotlight shown on us. I look up to see a... cargo ship? I have no idea. And, we're being shot at from the cargo ship. Great way to finish the day. It seems that the fight follows us wherever we go. I sigh and activate my Ward of Dawn to protect my team, thus gaining the attention of everyone in the docks and the ship with rockets. "So... any ideas 'O fearless leader?" "Why yes Angelica, I do." Jade responded. This could get interesting. "I need Emily, Angelica, and Orisa to help the two that are surrounded. Jasmine, help the/m out with Shadowshot. I'll take care of the rest." Jade then turns and enters her motherly mode. "Ed, honey, could you be a dear and take down the airships please?" I shyly nod and the group just "AWW!~" at my reaction.
ORISA'S POINT OF VIEW
The thought of Ed never left me while I unleashed my Arc Staff. He was always so cute when he goes shy. Then again, we don't really know him that well. He never gave us any information of himself unless we asked or the Vanguard tells us. From what we know, he single-handedly took down the Black Garden. His original fireteam raided the Vault of Glass with him having no experience. Such cruel people. When Ed told us that he had to take down Atheon, Time's Conflux BY HIMSELF while the others waited outside the Throne Room, then came in and took all the loot and credit for themselves Jade went ballistic. She took out the Hammer of Sol on Crucible and completely destroyed the fireteam. That day was the first time we've seen Ed smile. Poor child, he must of had it rough with them. As I approached the couple, start to notice that the people are scattering. I begin to see why. Angelica had 10 in a headlock (somehow), Emily was electrocuting 20 at a time, and Jasmine tethered a couple of them while Jade interrogated them, intimidating them with the Hammer of Sol. "So... can we help in any way?" I turn to see the blond guy ask me nervously. "For now, no. Just relax and enjoy the show." The girl came up next. "What about the one on... the... roof..." She stared above me, shocked. I was confused until, "DAYBREAK!" Everyone turned to see Ed, in 10% of his glory. Having the Dawnblade subclass active, he starts to take down the ships, each taking 2 hits before going down. As the super finished, Ed Phoenix Dived towards us and landed in front of the two, not looking up. The couple looked like all of the color left their face. It's understandable; Ed had just taken down the ships alone, not even trying, and his helmet, Nezarec's sin, wasn't helping his rep. He slowly got up, head still bowed. When his head finally rise, no one moves. After a few moments, Ed started to slowly back away. He must be having a breakdown. "Alright, Ed, I need you to take off the helmet." He immediately blinks to a nearby crate, hides behind it, and furiously shakes his head. "I know it's hard but we need you to do it. Please." Angelica tried to convince him, but no luck. "Eddy," Jade gets closer to Ed and pulls him into a hug. "I understand your fear of new people after 'THEM' being your original fireteam. We all do. However, we need you to take your helmet off, or at least, get your hood on. The Sin is scaring the two. Can you do that for me baby? Please?" It took some time, but he agreed to it. He reluctantly took of the helmet and looked at the others. "Soo... Blake..." We all turn to the new voice. A girl. She wears a tan jacket that bares her lower stomach, with golden brown piping and short, puffy sleeves with black cuffs that feature two gold buttons. Underneath this, she wears a low cut yellow crop top with her on the left breast in black. She also wears a brown belt covered by a pleated brown piece of material reaching from hip to hip around the back of her waist, with her emblem emblazoned on the right-most pleat in gold. Underneath this is a longer, white, asymmetrical piece of material reaching to her knee on the right side, as well as a pair of black mini-shorts. She wears a pair of brown, knee-high boots and orange over-the-knee socks, with the right sock pushed down just below the knee. A lavender bandana is tied around her left knee. An orange infinity scarf and black fingerless gloves complete her outfit.. "Who's the handsome boy?"
