Chapter 2: A Reason, A Fight
We entered a room, beneath Arriin, there was a good 50 or so Corrupted of various types. I pulled out my blades, the fires burning strong, I activated the charge mode on my Skanas and sprinted towards the group. I went into a slide, jumping up and over their heads to land in the middle stabbing my blades into the ground, knocking several Corrupted over. Deactivating the charge I went to work carving through the horde, I was pulled into a zone, I did not feel I didn't not think, I became a weapon, my whole body. This is what I lived for, as my blades cleanly cut through the hordes of enemies I became more concious of my surroundings as I was down to three gunners, and four Ancients. I couldn't attack all of them at once without using my powers, lifting my right blade, in a revers grip, high into the air, I slammed it down calling upon my power of the Radial Javelin. The blades shot out pinning the now lifeless corpses of my foes to the walls. Looking up I shouted to Arriin, "Not even a little help? C'mon don't let me have all the fun!" She stood there, looking down at the mass of dead and dismembered bodies around me, "I guess I never realized just why they called you The2Swords, nice uh… fighting, you seemed to be handling it well so I thought I'd admire your work from afar" she replied in a slightly dazed tone.
She jumped down beside me, we started off at a jog to the next room, a courtyard of sorts according to the map. As we approached the door Arriin stopped and looked to me "Where did you learn to do all that back there? It's not in the training programs, where did you learn it?" She asked me, "Memories, unlike the others I remembered a few before, these ones all show death, war and the like more important though is I remember so many fighting styles" I replied as we walked towards a large door. "So Arriin whatcha think is behind this door?" I ask as we get close enough for it to begin opening, "The map says it's a large circular room with several entrances and exits" she replied consulting her map.
We entered the large room, there was a lowered platform in the middle, a huge holographic map of the solar system hovering above it. "Swords do you have a bad feeling about this? I feel like this is some kind of trap" Arriin asked as we approached the holo, "Yes I have a feeling this is a trap but I'm sure we can handle it" I replied as we arrived at the center. "Tenno I have massive amounts of corrupted all around you prepare for a fight" Lotus alerts us over the comms. "Arriin find cover NOW!" I yell as the doors around us open to reveal swarms of corrupted, she ducked behind a small raised barrier. I swing my aim launching arrow after arrow from my Cernos, Arriin was emptying mag after mag from her MK-1 Braton. I felt my last arrow in my hand I prepared to loose it at a Orokin drone when a Corrupted Gunner landed behind Arriin, I swumg my aim and let the arrow fly through the gunners head, the arrow exploded killing the gunner instantly. " I'M OUT!" I shouted dropping the Cernos. Quickly drawing both my Lato pistols and firing a volley into a nearby Corrupted Corpus, switching targets I started firing at the corrupted on the balcony above us. We were outnumbered and we both knew it, funny how hard one can fight even when they are doomed, it was time to take our stand, to live or die.
