Chapter 2

North Tower, Last City, Earth

Robert was in the North Tower of the of the Tower. He was was waiting for the five Guardians who responded to his job offer to raid the Vault of Glass.

'The first responder was a Hunter, and a powerful one at that.' Robert thought as he saw the same Guardian walking towards him.

He had black hair in a bun, his eyes are colored platinum, which had a cold stare most of the time. His skin was pale with a jagged scar on the left side of his face, tracing along it to the jaw.

His Armor was the Armor of the Exile with Celestial Nighthawk as a helmet, which he had in his left hand. He had his chest plate, shoulder pauldrons, and left knee plate painted gold, with everything else being pitch black. A knife with a Cobra's head on the hilt is on Adam's left forearm in place of an armored plate.

Robert noticed that his weapons was a

A scythe made of Skiff hull materials, colored black along the shaft of the weapon, with the blade being silver and lightish blue and dual Hawkmoons on his side.

'According to these files, his name is

Adam Galilean. He's distant, cold towards strangers. Mostly keeps to himself. He's one of the few Guardians that has been living for countless decades fighting the Darkness. Losing his team over the years, one by one. Jesus Christ, he is more messed up than me.' Robert thought as he nodded his head at Adam.

Adam just looked at him before saying,

"So you're the one who the Speaker asked me to talk to?" Adam ask Robert, who nodded. Adam didn't say anything as he stood on the wall, sharpening his scythe.

'Okay, that's number one of the five Guardians who showed up.' Robert thought as the two waited. Fifteen minutes later, Robert looked up and saw the second candidate for the raid party.

He was another Titan. He had black raven hair, blue eyes and tanned skin. His Armor was the Ithacan Armor, a new armor that was exclusive to Titans.

Robert noticed that he has the same rifle Robert had, but with iron sights instead of the scope, the Sawtooth Oscillator and Party Crasher +1.

'Well, what Drake O'Donnells' files says, he was revived a couple months ago and... Holy Shit, he's the same guy who helped me get to the Black Heart. After that, he stayed on Earth, fighting the Hive and Fallen.' Robert thought as the Titan approached.

"Well Robert, how's the roaming lifestyle treating you?" Drake asked as Robert shrugged, saying,

"Good, I guess. Gives me something to get my mind off of my old team."

Drake then dropped the topic, since everyone know what happened on Oryx ship. Two hours passed as the three were still waiting until Adam got ticked off at the other three being late and so nudge Robert, who was sleeping, as he stood up.

"The other three aren't here, so I'm going to head to the gunsmith to get more ammo. I suggest you do the same." Adam said as he walked away. Robert looked at Drake before they both did the same thing.

Meanwhile in the unknown location

The two beings, along with the Traveler, saw that the three were about to start the raid early.

"Can you do something to stall them?" The male figure asked the Traveler.

"I can't. Once I open the Vault of Glass portal, I can't use it for the next thousand years." The Traveler said.

"So, what are you going to do?" The female figure asked.

"Even though I can't open the Vault of Glass portal once it's used, I can open Vex portals, if they are under Guardian control, I can send the three Guardians now and the other later." The Traveler said.

The two figure looked at each other. They could bring the three Guardians now, that would make it easier to defend their planet, but they are only three. The other is they wait for the rest, but meaning that if their ancient enemy emerges, they will be defenseless.

"Just, send the three, we'll wait for the others." The male figure said. The Traveler just give another nod as they dissipated.

In the Tower Hanger

Robert, Omega and Adam were about to lift off, after grabbing enough ammunition to wipe out the house of wolves ten times over.

The three entered their ships as Holliday gave them clearance to leave the Tower. The three ship's engine gave a boost to get itself into orbit.

"Okay, remember the plan, we hit the three control plates to get inside and find whatever loot or blueprints they have, so we could have a advantage over the Vex." Robert said. Drake couldn't help but ask one thing.

"If the Vex is waiting for us?"

"It'll make this raid much more interesting." Robert said as they entered the rip in time and space. Inside each of their own ship, they were preparing for the fight ahead.

Adam was sharpening his knife and scythe, Drake was filling all his magazine with rounds so he doesn't have to hide to use his precious rocket launcher and Robert, well...

"What are you doing with that chainsaw?" Roberts' Ghost, Onyx, asked Robert.

"Experimenting." Robert said as he disassembled his auto rifle, the Frontier-AR1, as he placed a frame, along with the chains from the chainsaw, into the weapon before assembling it back together.

"You know that's dangerous right?" Onyx said.

Robert looked at his Ghost.

"Said the Ghost who's idea was to jump feet first into a Fallens' hideout while a certain Guardian was recovering from a life threatening wound." Robert said as the Ghost looked at him.

"It was one time! Can you let that go?" Onyx exclaimed.

"Yeah, yeah, sure." Robert said. Fifteen minutes later, they reached their destination, but they saw another ship flying towards them and Robert knew it was the third responder.

It was another Titan, who's name is Ligorius T. Halzwien. From the Intel Robert had collected, he was shy and quiet to others outside of a combat zone, but is very loyal to his friends. He also was labeled as a claustrophobic and agoraphobic person. Also had a severe case of PTSD.

His weapons was from the new weapons company, Häkke, his primary was a pulse rifle and a shotgun for his special. His heavy was a sword, but he said he preferred using swords rather than a M.G or a rocket launcher.

Robert knew that with four Guardians, this raid might get a little easier.

"Hello Halzwien." Drake said over the comms.

"Uh, Hi." Ligorious said in a timid voice.

"Okay Ligorious, time to get you up to speed." Robert said as he told them what they were about to do. After that, Ligorious said "OK" as he readied his weapons.

"Time to enter the Vault, Guardians." Robert said before all the ship flew to their location on Venus.
