My first mission as a guardian, I was excited above all other feelings, I couldn't wait to be out there in the field. I was following my new teammates, the Awoken Warlock went by the name of Jarvis, while the Hunter called the Warlock Ravish, I find it a bit funny, but I won't tell him that. The Hunter is called by Krytek-4, he seems to me to have many different memories, he claims that they are all his, but some aren't his from nowadays. That's a strange thing to say, but I trust he's right. Soon after reaching our drop zone, over the Divide of the Cosmodrome, we set ourselves on the ground, helmets on, guns at the ready, us three guardians ready to fight. "Alright, our mission is to inspect a strange frequency coming from the wall just beyond here." Jarvis says to the both of us. Me and Krytek both nod, the three of us summoning our sparrows as we push through the area. "Hey Ravish, isn't there supposed to be Fallen around here?" I hear Krytek ask as he looked around us. Jarvis sighs a bit, "Yes...must be why we need to check this out, all the Fallen must all be in the wall then." I gulp and nod, the Fallen, these creatures are what I've mostly been able to study, basics are that there are Dregs, Vandals, Shanks, Servitors, and Captains, Captains tend to have shields, so keep caution with them...I hope that's enough to stay alive.
We boost on our sparrows towards the opening in the wall before getting off. The three of us cautiously walked in, our guns aimed and ready. Walking down the giant fans, I swear I could hear whispering of some kind. Once we entered the first main room...it was empty. "Must be further in..." I hear Krytek say as him and Jarvis walk over to a hallway. I nod slowly as I keep an eye out for any enemy movement, I followed them down the hall with my back to them...but when I turn to help support our forward movement, I saw one, a Vandal leap down from the ceiling, ready to strike my unknowing friends in the back. In almost instinct, I lowered my gun and swung with my fist, striking the Vandal strait into the back of it's head, seeming to kill it instantly. As it's lifeless body fell between them, they took notice and looked at me. "Nice work there Drake..." Krytek says to me as he looked at the body. Then Jarvis loaded his gun quick "We are walking into an ambush..." He said as he looked around, "...There's a bridge up ahead, Drake, I want you on cover fire, me and Kry will charge forward on and off till we push the Fallen out." I nod and switch to my sniper rifle as I followed them closely.
I watched them as they slowly walked across the bridge, as I stood at the railing at our end. Keeping aim on the other end, I saw a pair of eyes that were watching them, with a deep breath, I took aim before pulling the trigger. A Vandal, once it's head had came off, I saw it's body stand straight up as what seemed to be white smoke come out of the top of itself before falling. Once the ambush was ruined, I saw many different Fallen starting to show themselves, Vandals, Dregs, some Shanks, and a Captain leading them. I saw Kry and Jarvis started unloading clips into them as they came out. I started doing the same, killing Fallen left in right with one to two shots. I heard the Captain yell something in their language, my ghost's voice showing up to tell me what it was. "Well...he said that the Devils will claim these trophies! So I say prove him wrong." I chuckle and nod as I fire at the Fallen more. As the Fallen numbers were diminishing, I took notice that the Captain had seemed to have fled...however...I then heard breathing over my shoulder. Turning quick, I saw the Captain standing over me. Without much time to react, he struck me in my chest, sending me over the railing, but before plummeting, I quickly grabbed the railing. The Captain laughed in my face as he reached to pick me up, but with a moments rest, I reached up and struck it in the throat, but not with my fist...but with a grenade I had somehow generated. I heard it choke as I pulled it over the railing, letting it go so it fell to the pit below. In a few moments, I heard a small explosion, I suspected from the grenade I created that was stuck to it.
I pull myself back over the railing and take a couple breaths. Kry and Jarvis ran over to where I was. "Drake?! Are you ok?" I hear Kry say as he looked over the edge. I nod and catch my breath finally, "Yes, I'm fine...I took out that Captain." Jarvis looked at me and nodded. "Nice work...the Fallen have fled from the battle, all we have to do is find that strange frequency now." He said as he looked around. Kry nods and runs around as he tried to find it. I start to walk around on my own, trying to find anything out of the ordinary. I then pull out ghost so he could get a good look around, letting him roam around on his own.
While looking, I hear Ghost make a clicking noise, "I think I found something..." I nod to myself before running over, seeing Ghost floating over a chest, seeming to show the Fallen were trying to open it. I nod and kneel in front of it, "Hmmm, it looks like it's locked shut." I say as I look it over. It clearly wasn't a Fallen chest, not even Hive...but that's another enemy to worry about later. "Strange..." Ghost says as he starts to zap the front of it, quickly causing the chest to start making a clicking noise before it snaps open, causing me jump a bit. As I get back up, ghost looks inside "Oh...that's different..." I raise an eyebrow under my helmet at his reaction to the contents. Once I looked inside, I was just more confused, it seemed to be a shard of some machine. "Wait...that's a piece of Rasputin!" I hear Jarvis say louder than he usually does behind me. "What?! Rasputin?!" I ask as I scramble to my feet, seeing him nod. "It's unmistakable. This mission just got ten times more important. Kry get over here!" He yells for the exo, who leaps down from the rafters above to our side. "Yea I heard." Jarvis nods and looks at him, "You still got the code Cayde gave you?" That seemed to anger Kry a bit, "No! And you know why I can't get another one..." As he spoke, he seemed to get a bit depressed. "Oh right...you still owe him glimmer huh?" Kry only nodded.
As they began to argue, the sound of Fallen ships began to fill the empty sounds around us. "Oh no..." I hear my Ghost say before disappearing. Without hesitating, the three of us began to run back to where we entered the wall, only to be greeted by three Fallen skiffs dropping off some infantry in front of us, but what caught our fear and attention, was a bone chilling roar of Fallen chatter, the unmistakable roar of a Fallen Kell. Seeing the larger Fallen leap off the skiff above was almost terrifying, but Jarvis was quick to react. "Hurry, run!" Is all I hear him say before the thee of us sprint for one of the roofs of a building. It was scary, but we needed to hold off the Fallen until our ships arrived...but little did I know...another team of Guardians was watching us...
