Chapter II

The Dreadnaught was probably the greatest creation of Hive spacefaring technology in the history of the Solar System. It was in the control of the Hive god Oryx for the longest time. However, after many years the life of Oryx ended when two fireteams that were rather close together, Fireteam Striker and Fireteam Blade teamed up and killed the ancient Hive god. Now the Dreadnaught stood as a remote figure of what was once the great force of darkness that was the Taken and Hive. Even though the Hive had lost two gods, the other being Crota the son of Oryx, the Hive was still a force to not underestimate. Some very good proof of this was the fact that there were multiple reports of large groups of the Hive in multiple areas of the Dreadnaught. The result of these reports had led the guardian vanguard to send both Fireteam Striker and Fireteam Blade to deal with the large swarms of the Hive. They landed in the usual landing zone for guardians on the Dreadnaught. The room was large with the wreckage of a Cabal crash into the hull in an act of retaliation against the fact that Oryx had attacked their base on the martian moon Phobos, led the guardians to their base on Phobos, and then took the will of any other survivors on the base. The plan had failed and the result was an endless battle for control in that sector of the ship. Fireteam Striker was ordered to move out without guardian Rose due to unknown causes. So they went with their close friends and most trusted allies in fireteam Blade. Steven and Nessator were working with a close tandem as two titans normally would, however their tandem was closer than normal as they had worked on this kind of team work for several years so that they had a very, very low chance of failing. Kevin and Dustin worked with precision that rivaled that of Cayde 6 the hunter vanguard. They as warlocks had incredible skills with light magic and as a result are some of Ikora Rey's first picks for Warlock missions. Then their was Chris and Bond the team leaders and two of the few most respected hunters amongst the guardians. The used all kinds of tricks and skills and not just gunned down the fallen, but they cut them down with their blades, mainly with their knives. The two hunters would move around the enemy with the grace of a blade dancer and would pick the weak enemies off with the precision of a gunslinger while their teammates dealt with the rest of the enemies. After dealing with the forces in one sector they split into groups of two. They were, Chris and Bond, Kevin and Steven, Dustin and Nessator. Chris and Bond after finding no Hive forces after thirty minutes went to where their fireteams had first breached the Dreadnaught. The area was surprisingly empty of all life except their lives as they looked around in the room. When they had reached the center of the room the unexpected happened. Chris felt a sharp pain enter his back and go all the way through his body. He looked down and saw an Arcedge protruding from his abdomen. The heat from the lightning was already frying his blood and causing the wound to cauterize. The blade was pulled from as he was kicked down onto the floor, causing him to collapse and roll a very small distance. He was looking into Bond's eyes as he started to shed a few small tears. Bond walked over to him and picked him up by his cloak and held him at eye level.

"Why? Wh.. What led... you t..to do…. this?" Chris stared at Bond in the eyes with his dying eyes as the light left them. The guardian slowly gave up as he died, knowing that he would leave his fireteam to fend for themselves, but not in the way that was supposed to happen.

"You want to know why I betrayed you?" Bond began his little speech as he walked towards the ledge that faced outer space. "Well, we all know that legendary heroes must die at some point in life. I believe that your time has come for your exploits to become legend and simple myth. Good bye, Chris." With his words said he casted the dying guardian out into space. When Bond turned away he checked his timer and saw that they had to report back to vanguard for a status report. He then contacted Steven and Kevin.

"Chris wants you two to go and report back to the vanguard without him. He's going to check something out." He only waited a small amount of time before Kevin responded to his call.

"Why isn't he telling us this on his communicator? He would tell us personally." Kevin was onto him, but he had a very clever lie to cover for this logic.

"His communicator is broken. He went after some poor materials to repair it. Don't worry, he'll catch up to you two." Luckily Kevin bought the lie and responded.

"All right, we'll see him when he gets back to the Tower." With that Kevin signed off and Bond took out a small controller with a light on the side.

Kevin and Steven had just taken off to clear the asteroid rings of Jupiter when they saw a body floating in space. Then everything went black when an explosion went off.

Bond stood by the ledge watching the corpse of Chris when the light on the controller went off and Bond saw two jumpships coming towards the the corpse of the dead guardian. He then pressed the button and waited for three seconds before he got his result. The engines of the jumpships exploded and set off a chain reaction causing the jumpships to explode and sending the bodies of the two jumpship pilots into the nearest asteroid.

The speaker was polishing a glass vase in his small office when he felt three extremely old and extremely powerful lights weaken and die in a sea of darkness. He dropped the vase when he realized who it was who died.

Summer woke with a start, and lifted her head from the desk in her chambers. She looked on her desk and saw drawings she had made that related to her past life when the alarms for the guardian recovery ship's arrival went off like a loud blaring alarm. She walked from her chamber and saw three robots walking into the medical chamber while guiding three floating stretchers, each with a body bag on it. She walked towards them and stared when Cayde 6 came up behind her and put a hand on her shoulder. She stared at him with her silver eyes as he beckoned her to come with him. She followed him to a access point on the other side of the tower before he spoke a single word.

Not even looking at her he spoke. "I am so sorry for your lose guardian Rose." He then opened the door and guided her to a room. Before she could even ask him why he opened the door to the medical center, and laying on three observation tables were her fireteam members, Chris, Kevin, and Steven. She choked back a sob as she ran towards them and tried to revive them from the darkness, an act that was futile.

She cried and begged for them to wake up, for they had been the only ones to treat her like a family in this life besides Cayde 6 who played the role of father in her second life. She had just lost three of the most important people in her second life, and now she was all that was left of fireteam Striker.

This was a fun to write chapter and I hope you all enjoyed it. Stay tuned for a really long series that will kick off tonight with a little teaser trailer chapter.
