I'm going to have some more action in this chapter. Enjoy !

After our companions arrived in the abandoned city they witnessed what was going on for the last 30 minutes. The Cabal and Fallen were engaged in a bloody battle with neither side wanting to lose. It would be an excellent position for the Cabal but it was the home of the Wolves and they didn't want to give it up so easily. For a moment Kate looked around and saw a familiar face.

At the rear of the Fallen their position was a Fallen Captain who fought bravely against a Cabal Colossus. He had a Scorch Cannon but was pinned down by the colossus and was waiting for an opportunity. He rolled over to some debris and took a quick shot but only managed to blast the Colossus his rear. Knowing where his enemy now was, the Colossus launched his rockets at the most unfortunate Captain. He managed to evade the rockets but flew against a wall because of the impact. The colossus aimed once again at him but then the Captain smirked under his helmet. The colossus heard a strange noise beneath him and looked down. Two shock grenades were attached to his legs and at that moment, he knew he was fucked. The grenades exploded and the Colossus was no more.

The Captain got back on his feet and saw Razor and Kate. To him they looked like normal guardians so he instantly shot at them with his Scorch Cannon. They ducked behind a giant metal plate to avoid the incoming projectiles.

"That one sure is tenacious!" Razor shouted. He looked over to plate but he couldn't see the Captain. Realizing it a little bit too late he was tackled by the cloaked Captain. He tried to break free but the Captain had him pinned down.

"Damn you!" Razor yelled as he pushed the Captain away.

"Stop Hevnok!" Kate said as she removed her helmet. "It's me, Kate."

The Captain suddenly stopped fighting as he saw his friend. He stuttered something incoherently but was happy she was alive.

"Ghost, can you translate the Fallen with that program I made with Variks and you know who?" Razor said as he couldn't follow the conversation.

"Alright here you go." He got as answer and the translator was activated.

"-crashed at a drop zone I heard." The now identified Hevnok said to Kate.

"Yes, but this guardian saved me and took me in."

"He hasn't done anything against you I hope." Hevnok said as he glared at Razor.

"No no, he has done nothing but sheltering me and asked nothing in return."

"Alright then. Hey guardian, what's your name?" He said now addressing Razor.

"The name's Razor, you must be one of Kate's friends I heard about."

"Yes, I am Hevnok. You have my thanks for saving Kate." He said with a little bow.

"No problem, I couldn't really leave her there and she was stubborn enough to make me take her with me."

"Haha, that's the Kate we know." Hevnok said but he suddenly remembered a battle was going on and he had to make sure their forces wouldn't be flanked.

"Shit, I need to get back before the Cabal flank us. I'm sorry to ask Kate but could you and your friend help us?"

"No problem, leave it to us. Razor, get to that building and secure it. I'll pick the opposite one. Hevnok, you stay put at your position which is on the corner of these buildings and you take out any Cabal that try to hit us in the back." She commanded with seriousness.

"Ok then, looks like an excellent plan." Razor agreed and Hevnok nodded. They discussed some other things and then started with their plan.

Each party member went to their positions and began to engage the enemy.


With Razor :

Razor busted into the building and instantly attacked three Psions that were on the ground floor. He quickly tossed a grenade at one and killed him. The others started to fire and called for backup. He aimed at the one who was busy with his comm channel and shot him full with bullets. The Psion dropped to the ground but at the same moment the other one launched a shockwave at Razor who had to duck to the side so he wouldn't get hit. He grabbed his rifle and shot the last one in the head.

"Alright, on to the second floor." He said while using his Lift ability to get through a hole. He ran inside the hallway but around the corner a bunch of Legionaries who got the distress call were waiting for him. They suddenly opened fire and managed to hit him a few times. He jumped to a pillar and took cover behind it. He switched to his rocket launcher he got from the gunsmith, it was a SUROS design and had cluster bombs. He aimed and fired at the line of Legionaries effectively killing most of them and threw them in disarray with the cluster bombs. Before they could reorganize and fire again, they were picked off by Razor.

He got to the fourth floor which was the last floor before he got to the roof. A few Phalanxes had positioned themselves at the stairs but were easily taken out by Razor.

Before he could continue he stopped abruptly as he saw through the window that Kate was about to be shot by a Centurion. He feared the worse was going to happen.


With Hevnok :

Hevnok took position at the corner behind some wreckage. He waited there for around two minutes watching the buildings to make sure no enemies would hit his friends in the back. Then eight Legionaries, five Psions and one Centurion crossed the street and headed for the buildings. He threw his last shock grenade at the advancing enemies and managed to take two Legionaries and one Psion out. They now knew that there was an enemy ambush and took cover. Hevnok shot his cannon at two legionaries who couldn't find cover quick enough and took them out. It was now his turn to get to cover since the rest of the soldiers now returned fire. He took a little peek at what their positions were. There was one legionary behind a bunch of crates while his partner was standing on them and they both fired their slug rifle at him. All Psions were trying to get into Razor's building and the rest of the legionaries were helping the Centurion to advance on to the building that Kate took.

"Alright, it's time to show them what a Scorch Captain can do." Hevnok said while readying himself to take them out.

He fired at the crates where unfortunately for the Cabal, a fuel barrel was lying. The combined explosion took them out and Hevnok immediately aimed at the Psions. He shot them but only managed to take out one of them since the Centurion's explosive projectile threw him of balance. He saw the Psions enter the building and cursed himself for not taking them out sooner. He redirected his anger at the other Cabal soldiers though and cloaked himself to get close since this was going to be personal. The Cabal were advancing even further and almost reached the building until a Legionary was tackled by Hevnok. He quickly punched the legionary right in the face and slammed his other fists in the neck instantly killing him. The othes fired at Hevnok so he rolled on to the side of the dead body of his enemy and used it as a shield. He grabbed his shock pistol and shock dagger that were attached to his belt. He then saw a Centurion falling on the ground from Kate's building. "I wouldn't like to be them now." He thought. He got up and shot the other Legionary in the head. The Centurion didn't take this lightly and tried to slam his rifle at Hevnok who swiftly evaded the incoming strike and stabbed him in the leg. The Centurion grunted in pain but recovered and punched Hevnok in the stomach. Hevnok grabbed his abused belly and backed off. But before the Centurion could even shoot, Hevnok threw his dagger in the Centurion's head. It was a trick he saw that was used by guardians. The Centurion fell on his back and remained still. Making sure he would remain like that, Hevnok shot him again with his pistol before grabbing his cannon again.

"Ugh, I had to see that one coming. I hope that Razor guy will be able to manage himself." Hevnok coughed up as he still felt the heavy punch of the Centurion.

He took a look at Razor's building and saw him at a window stopping. He looked at the opposite building and Hevnok followed suit. He was also terrified as he saw that Kate was about to be shot by a Centurion.

"NO!" he shouted with all of his voice.


With Kate :

Kate entered the building cautiously with her scout rifle aimed at anything in front of her. She saw no enemies and her radar said there was no one on the ground floor. "I suppose they're upstairs." She thought while going to the stairs. As she slowly walked up she could hear some grumbling and yelling. She looked around the corner and saw four Phalanxes arguing with each other. She thought of a way to take them out and suddenly remembered something.

…..

Flashback :

"Hey Kate, there's something I need to tell you." Ghost said while Hevnok and Razor were discussing some other things.

"What is it Ghost?"

"I had to tell you of some improvements of your armor. Using a lot of Motes of Light I managed to unlock some guardian abilities for you. You can materialize the arc grenades of the Striker sub-class and also use Storm fist. They take time to recharge but it'll be of use to you."

"Alright thanks Ghost, you're full of surprises."

"I know, let's go" He said proud of his work.

End flashback

….

Remembering she could generate grenades she used her ability and threw a flashbang grenade. The Phalanxes were disoriented and easily picked off by Kate's scout rifle since they were all headshots. She continued to an elevator and decided to use the shaft to go up. Using her immense might that was now even enhanced by her new armor, she pushed the door aside and started crawling up. Even with the Titan armor she was still nimble since she was an Eliksni. When she arrived at the last floor she could see multiple enemies on her radar and prepared for the upcoming fight.

She slammed her fist in the door which threw it around the room and slammed a Psion in the wall. The rest of the Cabal were surprised by this and looked to the elevator. Kate shot two Legionaries down with her scout rifle and then swapped it for her shotgun. She dashed to three Psions and took them down with ease. Then a Centurion charged at her but she evaded him. She saw a rather broken wall and came up with a plan. She taunted the Centurion by cursing his mother and he wasn't really happy about that. He charged once again only to miss again and crash into the broken wall. He fell down on the street and died.

She looked around and saw another Psion running towards a door but she shot him in the back and ended him. She quickly reloaded again but was unaware that a Centurion entered through that same door. She turned around after hearing something but the Centurion was already close to her. She turned around and the Centurion aimed his weapon. If he shot now she would be severely injured and in the worst scenario dead. She saw her life flashing before her : Her mother, grandpa Krosis, Hevnok and her other friends, the other Eliksni that hated her, Ghost and Razor. She didn't want to end it like this and what she then did stunned Razor and Hevnok who were watching now. She slammed her fist on to the ground and released a huge shockwave. The Centurion vaporized instantly alongside the other bodies that were lying around. The shockwave was so intense that all the windows on that floor shattered.

She looked around at the destruction she caused and couldn't believe her eyes.

"Did I do that?" she murmured as she saw the sparks coming from her fists.

Then her communicator activated and she could hear an astonished Razor along with Hevnok and Ghost.

"Hey Kate, how did you activate Fist of Havoc?! Only guardians are able to do that."

" I don't know but it was awesome!" she yelled in excitement.

"I haven't heard of any other Eliksni who could do that." Hevnok added.

"We will check on it later. I intercepted a transmission that in on the roof of our building a little observation post has been established and the Cabal commander who is leading this assault is also there." Ghost said as he had recovered from the shock.

"Alright then. Kate you should continue as well and make sure there won't be any Cabal who shoot us from the other roof."

"Roger that."

"Also Hevnok, you should head back to your comrades and prepare for our arrival.

"Very well."

And with that they all carried out their tasks.

…..

With Razor :

"It's still a mystery to me how she was able to do that." Razor said as Ghost was trying to get a door open.

"I have my suspicions but we will talk about it later. I think Hevnok should have warned us about those Psions though."

"You can't blame him. He finally met his old friend again who was just about to get shot."

"Yes and that makes me remember something. Your stress readings suddenly went sky-high when you saw that. Someone caring a lot for a certain girl he he."

"Oh shut it you tin can." Razor said responded as he blushed somewhat.

"Alright, it's not my job to tell you. Anyways you can get ready now since it's done." Ghost said as he disappeared and the door opened.

Razor walked in and climbed the stairs. He got to the exit and saw his target. It was another standard Cabal Officer with those strange feathers on the back like Valus Trau'ug and Val Aru'un that he encountered in the Prison of Elders.

"That must be one of their last high ranking commanders here in the system." Razor said as he looked around to see five Imperial Legionaries who acted as the commander's guard.

"Indeed, in fact he is the last one we know of. If we take him out the Cabal will not know what to do."

" Let's go then." Razor agreed as he jumped in the air and called upon his Hammer of Sol. He threw them at the legionaries and successfully took them out.

He now stood before their commander. The centurion had a slug rifle in each hand and charged his shield. Razor was the first to open fire with his auto rifle but the shield was too strong to make the commander struggle. It was now his turn as he shot both slug rifles at Razor. After jumping behind a crate he could see the situation at the opposite building where Kate was. She had almost taken out any resistance that the Cabal could muster.

"Ghost, I want you to get over there and transmat a sniper rifle fir Kate. Tell her to give some support. Also transmat my special fusion rifle for me will you." Razor said as he took a look at the enemy behind him who was still shooting him.

"Alright here you go, one Sleeper Stimulant." Ghost said as he warped the heavy weapon and then went to Kate.

Razor then jumped over his cover and threw a grenade at his enemy. The grenade attached itself first before it exploded and took out the shield. Seeing this as a chance, Razor charged his Sleeper Stimulant and shot the commander as he fell because of the hit. The commander was still alive though and aimed his guns at Razor who had no place to hide. He opened fire at him but didn't expect that the titan would run straight through the bullets and slam his fist in the shoulder of the now staggering commander. Before both could do anything else there was a gunshot and the commander now fell on the ground. Dead because of a well-aimed headshot. Razor looked around and saw Kate standing there alongside Ghost. She gave a thumb ups and he returned the gesture.

Sometime later, Kate was now standing alongside Razor as they overlooked the battlefield. With their commander gone and no orders, the Cabal withdrew since no one of their high ranking officers was alive. The Fallen cheered as they won the battle.

"Alright then, ready to meet your friends?" Razor said as he grabbed his weapon. He saw a troubled look on Kate's face and wondered what was wrong.

"What is it?"

"I hope they will not hate me since some thought I had to die and i befriended a guardian."

"That's ridiculous, if it wasn't for you then they would be dead. They will accept you for the warrior you are."

"Thanks, but I'm still afraid they will try to attack me."

"If they would then Hevnok and I will protect you. Now let's go." He said with a smile.

"You're right." She said as she returned the smile.

And with that they went to the small tower where the Wolves had their camp.

And that's chapter 4. I hope I did a good job with the action because I really am bad with writing.
