Chapter Three- Luceo non Uro (I shine, Not Burn) Part One
"Our light will not burn out to the darkness, our light will shine through the shadows" -Enali Raku upon the Founding and Comission of Fire Team Luceo non Uro
Summoning Pits, Moon
Jack slid around the door with David as Lux headed to the right side.
Enali marched through the door, headed straight to the center of the room.
"In position" they all called out.
Enali motioned for them to activate the pylons her ghost had given theirs.
As light flickered then raced up the walls of the chasm, screeches from millions of thrall echoed.
"David, I'm going to need some more light!" Enali called out.
David nodded and jumped down behind her, activating his radiance ability before looking at her.
"Hand on my back now!" She said, taking a fighting stance.
David placed his left hand on her back, watching his radiance being absorbed into her body.
Wings of fire exploded from her back before changing to arc energy.
Enali screamed as she felt her entire body lighting on fire. Her helmet cracked and split down the middle, her eyes glowing.
Thrall screeched before racing towards her and David.
Enali pushed David back before activating her light ability.
Lances of arc energy raced from her body across the floor as she raced into the thick of the thrall, her blade slicing through each like a hot knife through butter.
Thrall body parts flew through the air, blood spraying all around.
Enali's arc ability was a thing of magnificence as she systematically destroyed each and every thrall.
Orbs of light littered among the mounds of thrall bodies shined brightly.
David gave a low whistle before Lux and Jack joined them in the center of the room.
"Well I'll be damned.." Jack said stepping closer to Enali, "little sister"
Enali looked at Jack over her left shoulder.
"I have no brother that I recall" she said tilting her head.
Jack removed his helmet to reveal his face.
Half Human Half Awoken.
Enali jumped back, aiming her Red Death at Jacks head.
"Whoa!" He said backing up.
"Haven't you ever wondered why you have the picture of a single male in your possession?" He said.
Enali shuffled her feet backwards, looking between David and Lux then Jack. Her eyes held questions, lots of them.
"Listen I'm not going to try to make you believe me, but Master Cayde found us both.."
They stood there in silence for a moment.
"Enali!" David yelled as a ogre appeared behind her, snagging her with its giant clawed hand.
She screamed, feeling its grip crushing her ribs as she struggled against it.
Lux pulled his Ice Breaker, aiming it directly at the ogres head.
David looked to Jack who seemed to be standing idly by, almost enjoying seeing the pain.
Before he could say anything a loud scream echoed across the cavern.
He looked towards Enali who had removed her knife and stabbed the ogre repeatedly still screaming.
Waves of arc energy began to form around her as she released her arc ability, slicing the ogres arm off.
She fell to the ground with a sickening thud, and rolled to the side. As she did, Lux pulled the trigger on his sniper, lunging a bullet through the ogres head causing it to fall over dead.
David ran over to Enali, scooping her up into his arms.
"Jack!" David called out, but he was nowhere to be found.
He placed his fingers along Enali's neck.
"Pulse is low..." He said.
Lux ran over, checking her pulse as well.
It was but a moment before a small drop ship had appeared near the edge of the cavern.
"Bringing you in, we need to get her back to the tower" her ghost said.
Infirmary, Tower, Last City, Earth
David sat with his head in his hands, tired from the late hours he had been up, waiting on Enali to get out of surgery.
Lux was speaking with Cayde, trying to figure out where the hell Jack had disappeared off to.
Suddenly a large crash came from the room just behind them.
David jumped up and ran to see Enali wearing a gown with bandages covering her arms upper torso and her thighs and partially covering her face.
"Miss Enali, please you need to rest!" One of the nurses called out to her as she stormed out, ripping ivs from her arms.
David watched as she stormed from the hallway to the courtyard and across, it seemed as though she was heading to see the speaker.
One of the nurses pulled David aside.
"Keep an eye on her, something is irregular about her" she said.
David tilted his head.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"Something about her blood work came back strange, I will keep you posted as we try to decrypt her cells"
David still didn't understand and shrugged before heading after Enali.
By the time he got there, the other Vanguard and Faction Leaders were surrounding the central area in the Speakers room.
"Ah, David and Lux.." The speaker said as he motioned them towards where Enali stood in the center, still in her gown.
David gulped before moving to the position he had indicated.
"As per the request of The Vanguard Masters and Vanguard Knight Enali Raku..."
David looked at Enali who had her arms crossed.
"A special fire team, aptly named, Luceo non Uro is being formed and commissioned to handle Elite missions and bounties. Access to the weapons and armor cache are awarded to each member of the fire team." The speaker said.
David blinked.
"Take powerful consideration that our alone Wolf operator has considered you four worthy to call friends" Cayde said, nodding at the other two guardians, both of whom were Titans.
Enali stepped forward.
"Allow me to introduce our other two" she said smiling, "Haek and Salem"
Haek went to high five David but was met with a knee to the abdomen.
Haek stumbled backwards. It was hard to cause this particular Exo pain.
Before Haek stood Enali.
"What the hell woman!" He muttered.
Enali smiled and patted his plates back.
"You gotta be ready for anything" she said with a giggle before giving Haek a hug.
"It's been a while my old friend"
Luceo non Uro Part Two: Remember The Name
1 Month Later
Meridian Bay, Mars
David, Haek, Lux, and Salem stood near the ramp of Enali's drop-ship.
"Who's going first?" Lux asked.
David shook his head as did Haek and Salem.
Enali stepped up beside them.
Her armor seemed to be fitting a little differently since their meeting on the moon.
"If none of you pussies will jump then I will" she said as she latched her helmet over her head.
It was but a moment before she had jumped and landed safely into the sand below.
Haek placed his right hand on Lux's shoulder.
"Get down there buddy!" He said before shoving him off the ramp.
"F...U...C...K Yoooou!" Lux yelled before he landed in the sand, unable to get his ass out.
David and Salem laughed along with Haek and Enali who was giggling uncontrollably.
Once everyone was on the ground, Enali summoned her ghost.
"Mission parameters are to infiltrate a fallen base and retrieve a ghost that Ikora believes holds information on vex technology that the fallen are using or plan on using"
David nodded moving up to her position.
"Let's move" she said motioning for them to follow.
As they snaked their way through their caverns, David's ghost spoke quietly to him.
"Message from the tower"
"What's it say?" He asked
David's ghost took a moment to answer, as if unsure of how to say it.
"The blood work from Enali, returned a possible positive..."
"Positive for what?"
"Pregnancy..."
David stopped in his tracks, causing the others behind him to bump into him.
Enali looked back at David, her head tilted a little.
"Everything ok?" She asked, a small message popping up on David's hud from her.
He opened it then glanced at her.
The message read:
"Speak of this to anyone and I will castrate you, just because I liked it don't mean I won't hesitate to remove it..." The end of the message included a wink face.
David caught up to her, speaking in a hushed tone.
"How the hell did you know I got a message about that..." He asked.
"I do have a ghost whose specialty is intrusion and information gathering.." She shrugged.
She held up her hand motioning for them to stop.
"Lux, scan the area" she whispered.
Lux nodded, allowing his ghost to scan the area.
"Unknown Fallen House... We have a problem..." He said.
Enali moved to Lux.
"What is it?" She asked.
"Guardian signal coming from within. Female. Friendly. In danger." Lux's ghost called out.
Enali nodded, readying Red Death.
"Fan out, we have to save that guardian" she said motioning for David to follow her.
Enali crept up to a ledge, looking down over the canyon.
The fallen had surrounded the guardian but were making no moves.
Suddenly a big fallen stomped towards the circle.
"That's a Kell, but why is a Kell here" Enali muttered, sighting down Red Death.
The Kell grabbed the female guardian.
Enali jumped, blinking over to the Kell almost instantly with David and the others close behind.
Enali performed a mid-air roundhouse kick to the kells head, causing him to drop the female.
Before the Kell could recover, she was all over him, spraying him with round after round from Red Death.
Lux was picking others off from afar with a sniper rifle, David was burning through with radiance, Haek and Salem were smashing everything in their paths.
Enali pushed the Kell onto his back, shoving Red Deaths blade into his throat, pulling to the right slicing his throat.
Blood sprayed all over her armor.
The other fallen moved back a little, staring at a now blood covered Enali.
"WHO ELSE WANTS SOME!" She screamed, pointing the blade of Red Death at each of the fallen.
No one moved. Lux snuck in and grabbed the female guardian then backed out.
Enali pulled the trigger, splattering a vandals brains all over the ground.
She laughed, staring down everyone.
David grabbed her and tried to pull her away.
She shook free and grabbed the nearest vandal.
"Luceo non Uro, remember this the next time you decide to fuck with any guardian" she said shoving the vandal back, "we will not hesitate to kill you if you come after us"
She stormed off, David and the others following behind her.
The Shadow Fang, Mars Orbit
Enali threw her helmet off running to the bathroom.
David sat beside her as she threw up.
"Enali, what was that down there?" He asked.
She wiped her mouth, resting her hands on the seat.
"I don't know" she whispered, "I don't know what came over me.. I've not acted that way in years.."
David sighed, rubbing her back.
"I think it's time I introduce our sixth member to everyone" she said giving him a sly grin.
David blinked.
"Sixth?"
She nodded, taking his hand leading him to the meeting room.
Everyone was seated around the conference table, as they walked in. All but the new female warlock had their helmets off.
"Everyone, I'd like to introduce someone" Enali said looking at the warlock down at the far end.
"Please welcome the last addition to our team" she said.
"Halima Kumori"
Halima removed her helmet, revealing bright pink hair paired with emerald green eyes.
"A human with unparalleled mastery in the ways of old"
Halima gave a slight nod, Salem picked his jaw up from the ground.
"Now that I have introduced everyone, it's time I tell you the real reason the team was formed"
Everyone but Halima looked shocked at Enali.
"There are reports of two bounty hunters that are attacking innocent people, and leaving before they can be caught.."
"Enali, why does this concern us?" Haek asked.
"Because they have something we need" Halima replied for Enali.
Everyone looked at her.
"What would that be?" David asked.
Enali smiled.
"A shard of the traveller"
