AUTHOR'S NOTES,
Hey guys, here's the next chapter! So this chapter was an idea from my close friend Alucard1200 (the owner of Alucard XD) gave me and we've been talking about this chapter for a month so here's the result. WARNING CRUEL JOKE INBOUND! So thank you all those who like my story! You guys drive me to continue the story with even more passion! So quick disclaimer: I do not own Destiny, RWBY, Red vs Blue, Hellsing or Abridged, Fairy Tail, Gajeel's Gee Hee, Street Fighter series or Mortal Kombat or any killer bees. The only thing I own is my two copies of Destiny, Zeta-48, Alisa, Lucy, Aerik and Grimlock. AND NOW FOR CHAPTER 7!
ROUND ONE FIGHT!
Chapter 7
"So yeah that's how the mission went. Not as good as yours since you practically were cutting the poor Archon Priest in half!"
"You make it sound like I'm sort of psychopathic killer or something! It was in the heat of the moment and it happened!"
The next day after the Archon Priest Strike mission was complete, everyone found out and congratulating me, Aerik and Lucy left and right. We of course thanked everyone but always said it was a group effort and it was Dragon's teaching that gave us the skills to pull it off. And now after everything calmed down I was at home sitting on my couch with Omega opposite of me sitting on chair and just chatting about our missions that happened on the same day with his being a bit less exciting.
"Ah well so anyway me and my buddy Blade are planning to go on a mission soon; were just grabbing the last of the details on it."
"Blade? You mean the Exo Titan who's been hitting on the female Exos? You should tell him to stop that, Rita-83 almost punched him out if it weren't for Lucy holding her in check."
He gave me a look that screamed 'really'.
"Look he may has his faults but he's a cool guy overall, he just had it rough ever since Fireteam Blaze been wiped out on that mission last month. Which reminds me, were looking for a third member for our new Fireteam that me and him are putting together. Want to join us?"
"Yeah sorry Omega, I'm a Dragon through and through. But I will go on that mission with you guys when you got all the details."
"Alright no problem; I understand where you're coming from and I won't hold it against you." He said it with a 'smile' on his face and before he could say anything Sebastian appeared right next to my face.
"Alisa, we got an important message from Zeta that states we need to go back to his place and already called the rest of Dragon." Sebastian voice sounded off put more than usual; he sounded like a butler just now, but I'll leave it for another time.
"Well looks like you have another exciting mission coming your way, let me know how it went when you come back. I'm gonna collect Blade and get the last details on the mission."
We waved at each other goodbye since we were heading in different directions.
"Okay see you later Omega! Sebastian how urgent is it?"
"It's says priority and it says gee hee. So yeah it's definitely important."
"Alright, we better get a move on."
I started jogging lightly towards Zeta's place until I saw a Jumpship fly over us that I instantly recognized as Alucard's 'Light in The Abyss' flying towards our general direction that led to Zeta's apartment. I guess it's pretty serious considering Alucard got here pretty quick from Mars.
"Yo Huntress!"
I turned to the familiar voice of Grimlock jogging behind me with Lucy right on his tail. They said their hellos and we walked jogged towards the apartment. And as soon we got to the door, Alucard was opening it for us and we entered to see Aerik already sitting down on the couch with a glass of water in his hand and looked at us.
"Hey guys, did Zeta tell you anything, because he hasn't told us anything at all on what is going on." Aerik asked with usual somewhat bored tone.
"Nope just priority and his usual gee hee." Grimlock replied while taking a seat next to the window.
I was going to reply back to that until we heard Zeta walking down the staircase talking with his Ghost Spectre.
"Alright Dragon listen up! We just received an opportunity to wipe out a Fallen House that has been on the run for last two months. Alucard, Grimlock you both know who I'm talking about."
"The House of Onyx." They both stated with an unsuppressed malice in their tone.
"That's right, for you three who don't know the House of Onyx are hard to find and are strong enough to overpower both the Houses of Kings and Winter at the same time. The have attacked multiple Guardian bases and settlements between here and up to Mars. We've been assigned to hunt them down two months ago and we haven't found a trace until now."
"Boss we should get Blade in this. That House wiped out his Fireteam remember?"
I had to admit I was shocked on how bold Alucard spoke to him like that. He wasn't asking he was literally demanding him like he had power over him. And this House of Onyx, are they that dangerous? I fought the Kings, Devils, Exile and recently Winter and he's saying they're more powerful than the Kings and Winter?
"I remember but we will not bring him along on this one. I won't endanger the mission because of his revenge and also the Speaker gave me strict orders that only Dragon is to participate in this mission."
Alucard looked back at Grimlock and they both nodded back towards Zeta. Seeing the opportunity I raised my hand up and asked the simple question.
"Why are they so rare and hard to find? I mean don't they keep their Ketch in one place or stay in bases?"
"Not this House they don't, they live in their Ketch and it continually keeps moving all over the place. They move from planet to planet back and forth."
Zeta definitely has a lot of knowledge on these guys but then again we were assigned to hunt them so he had to have that information.
"Now we managed to find the exact location where they're going to attack next and luckily for us it's here on Earth and they're going to attack the Devils' territory." As soon he finished that he went over his favorite leather chair and waited for us to sink in the information.
"Now the plan is simple; we're going to the site and wipe out any Fallen in the area and hijack one of their Skiffs. And then we'll have Spectre and Seras access their systems and translations so we can use it to get into the Ketch's hangar and from there fight our way to the throne room, kill their Kell and destroy the Ketch. Sound good?"
Everyone and I nodded and Zeta brought his hand out for Spec to appear.
"Alright Spectre send a signal to the Speaker to let him know we're mobilizing. The rest of you gear up, we leave for Old Russia in ten minutes!"
Ten minutes later above Old Russia…
I banked my Misfit over to the left a bit to give Alucard some room in the formation. I saw Lucy and Grimlock to my left and Aerik and Alucard to my right and with that Zeta in his Bane of The Dark Gods in front of us.
"Alisa look down there! It's a warzone down there!" Sebastian exclaimed and gave me the curiosity to look down at the ground beneath them.
"Alright the fighting already started so I'm going to repeat the plan! Alisa, Aerik, Lucy and Grimlock go ahead and transmat down to the ground. I'm going to stay airborne give you covering from up here and when a Skiff shows up I'll hijack it."
After we all heard the plan we transmatted down onto the battlefield to see Devils fighting against the Onyx. They looked just like normal Fallen but had black armor. I was knocked from my thoughts when I saw a large group of Onyx coming our way with a Walker tank flanking right behind them, shit.
"Alucard I see a large group heading towards the team give them some help."
I heard Alucard chuckle and saw his Light in The Abyss shoot high above the Fallen and start doing a corkscrew and he jumped out of the cockpit and started glowing blue.
"Welp, they're fucked." We all said in unison.
"DROP THE BASS!"
Above Earth's atmosphere…
A small circular blue pulse appeared on the surface.
"Damn, yo Omega its Blade; I think Alucard dropped the bass on some poor souls." He chuckled.
Back in Old Russia…
Alucard crashed on the ground surrounded by lightning and with everything around him disappearing into Arc particles, including the Onyx Walker. Alucard got up and gave us thumbs up and ran towards the Fallen with us behind him and with me shaking my head at his actions. I immediately ran for a vantage point and started to snipe any targets that pop out of cover. I placed my scope on Grimlock to see something you don't every day, but then again I never seen Grimlock fight before. That is if what he is doing can be considered fighting; he's just walking towards the Fallen with his Radiance activated and he's just throwing his Solar Grenades at them calmly like he's not even in the middle of a warzone. Alucard is well being Alucard with him shoulder-charging everything in front of him and punching anything with his range and shooting them with his rifle if they're too far. Everyone else is standardly shooting anything that survived Alucard and Grimlock's onslaught and moving forward. After five minutes of fighting both houses I heard the recognizable 'boom' of a Skiff jumping in.
"Zeta, it's Alisa, a Skiff with black marks just jumped in what's next?"
"Gee hee, alright I'm going to transmat inside. Spectre would you kindly?"
"Way ahead of you, and remember Zeta, be careful you don't shoot the controls."
I saw his Bane pass over the Skiff and the next thing I know we hear Fallen screams coming from the Skiff and I saw a Dreg try to crawl out of the Skiff only for it to be forcibly dragged back inside. The Skiff then softly lands and with that Zeta calmly walks out of the Skiff like nothing happened.
"Alright Spectre and Seras time for you two to go to work." He called them out while taking two thumbs out and pointing behind him towards the Skiff.
After waiting for about three minutes they gave us the go ahead to embark since they got the codes and translations.
"Yo boss let me fly this thing and before you ask yes I can fly it I've had practice before."
We all looked at like we don't believe until Zeta looked at him and nodded towards the Skiff. Alucard ran inside with us in tow, and I can't shake the feeling that this is a bad idea for Alucard to be piloting this thing.
"Alright Seras, send me the coordinates to the Ketch, we're going hunting!"
"Alucard I don't think you are qualified to fly this. And where did you get the practice to fly a Skiff? I would've remembered if you flew a Skiff." She questioned him like she was an annoyed parent.
We took off and Alucard flew it like he had actual experience, up towards the atmosphere and jumped towards the Ketch's location and well it looks like the Ketch from the House of Winter but had black marks all around it. Alucard then maneuvered towards what seem to be the hangar bays when Zeta spoke up.
"Alright there's the hangar, land the Skiff in there!"
"Right…Land…" Alucard slowly said, I'm starting to get that bad feeling again. I swear I saw Zeta go stiff when asked the next question.
"You do know how to land this thing right?"
"Sure, that just means stop flying right?"
"Brace for impact!" Zeta yelled.
"Oh shit, this is going to suck!" Grimlock yelled.
"I still haven't got my peanuts." Lucy's Ghost called out.
We crashed inside the hangar and most likely ran over multiple Fallen pedestrians.
Lucy's POV…
Ugh my head, note to self never let Alucard fly a Skiff ever again. I think I heard Zeta call sound off.
"I'm alright! I'm over here!"
"Lucy…Lucy…"
"Alucard? Where are you?"
I look around me and I saw his helmet on the ground without his body near it. I pick up his helmet and start sobbing, he can't be dead? There's no way…
"Lucy… Lucy… you are reading your teacher's mind now put me between your boobs."
I couldn't hear anyone's voice; I couldn't believe my friend who taught me so much died just because he was being an idiot. I was holding him tightly to my chest plate while crying my eyes out.
"Good, now put me between your le—"
A throwing knife hits the helmet and impales it onto the wall next to her.
"Traveler dammit!"
"Alucard you have some nerve pulling that…" Zeta growled.
Grimlock grabbed Alucard out from a pile of wreckage and threw him at Zeta's and mine's feet with our menacing auras.
"Uh come on guys, I was joking right? Guys stop! Help!" Screaming ensues…
Five minutes later… Alisa's POV…
Man this Ketch has a lot of hallways that it's ridiculous! After the beating Zeta and Lucy gave Alucard we continued on with the mission and came across what according to Lucy's Ghost Cabose are the sleeping quarters.
"Alright guys we have to go through this room to get to the throne room."
I looked inside the quarters to see multiple Fallen Dregs and Vandals literally sleeping.
"They didn't hear the crash?" Aerik whispered.
"Or Alucard's screams?" Sebastian whispered as well; Alucard shuddered.
"We'll sneak past them so be careful guys." Zeta ordered.
We walked past them and managed to get to the other door and get out. We were going to move on until Alucard tapped Zeta's shoulder and hoisted a jar up on his hand.
"Yo Zeta we can't leave them like that; what if they wake up while we're fighting the Kell and his guards? We'll be boxed in and surrounded and I don't like those odds."
"Alright what you have in mind?"
"Good ol' fashion jars of bees." He chuckled while holding the jar and bouncing it in his hand.
"Gee hee alright, go ahead." He moved out of the way while Alucard got ready to throw them in. I don't even want to know how he got them.
"KNOCK KNOCK!" He threw the jars in and Seras locked the door's system so they can't open any of the doors inside the doors. And after thirty seconds of buzzing that's when the screaming started. I actually flinched when I heard them, I was going to ask if we can go until Zeta asked Spec a peculiar question.
"Hey Spec can you translate?"
"Certainly Zeta; translating now."
…
…
"NOT THE BEES! NOT THE BEES!"
"BY THE PRIMES WHY!?"
"IT'S MY FIRST DAY!"
"THEY'RE IN MY EYES!"
Everyone was laughing, even Zeta and Lucy were dying from laughing from it but we have a mission.
"Hey, Alucard where did you get the jars of bees?"
"Oh you know."
"You know what, I don't want to know."
"I think we should get moving guys, the Kell isn't going to kill himself." I had to get them back on track and get away from the screams although it is pretty funny. Everyone soon calmed down and focused back on the task at hand but still continued to giggle or chuckle. We walked around for ten minutes until we reached the throne room and there sitting on his throne sat the Kell, who looked at us with barely any concern. It then stood up, and gave a roar and its Kell's Guards came flooding in from everywhere, but the weird part is that they didn't charge or shoot us yet like most Fallen would do. But I quickly figured out why when I saw the Kell take a few steps forward and literally spoke.
"It's been too long since an enemy of my House entered this very room, and directly challenged me." The Kell spoke with near perfect but heavy English. Zeta then walked forward in front of us with a hand gesture to keep back.
"So the Kell can speak our language? That's quite surprising considering your race despises our cultures so much." Zeta was using a tone that could pass as a politician, almost like the Speaker.
"Sometimes you must adapt to new terms and conditions in order to survive."
"Alright, I can agree with that sentiment."
Are they really having a conversation?
"You are the one they call Zeta, the leader of Dragons I believe is the correct term. While I commend you for getting this far, you and your 'dragons' will die here. After all, even dragons must be slain." He starts getting straighter and looks like he's ready to attack us.
"Before we begin, you view yourself as a king am I correct?"
"I am the Kell of the House of Onyx, the most powerful House in this galaxy! I am their king!" He roared.
"Then you understand the word regicide? After all, even kings must be slain; Alucard!"
In a blink of an eye Alucard threw a Lightning Grenade towards the wall on the left so the lightning faces the Kell and his Guard. This made the Kell flinches, which gave us a chance to run for cover, while the guards and the Kell scatter to get away from the grenade. I saw Grimlock to my right unloading his rifle on the guards to thin them out while Alucard and Lucy are working on the shanks and any dregs that decided to show up. I was working with Zeta and Aerik on the Kell himself who luckily for us fought like the Archon Priest but with the added drawback that we're in closed room.
"Alisa cover me! I'm going to flank the Kell!" Zeta yelled and I replied with several rounds from Fatebringer. Watching my victims explode from the Firefly mechanism in the rounds. I saw Zeta behind the Kell and using his Last Word on the Kell. Then I saw an electrical blur behind Zeta; those are the signs of Stealth Vandals.
"Zeta, you've got Stealth Vandals trying to flank you; watch your six!"
"Understood thanks for the heads up I see 'em."
I turned to shoot the Kell but he teleported and spawned two feet away from me and he followed up with that seismic stomp and sent me flying to the opposite side of the room with him teleporting back right next to me and I couldn't move. He moved to stab me with one of his swords, and I waited for the end and closed my eyes. After a beat, I opened my eyes to see the Kell's sword stopped by Alucard's bare hands.
"You dun goofed." And with that statement he did an Arc infused uppercut which sent the Kell flying.
"Rising Dragon Fist!" He yelled and flew with the Kell and did a 180 degree turn in midair. The Kell landed on his back and tried to get up only for Zeta to jump on his face and kicked his face back to the floor and pulled out his Swordbreaker Shotgun.
"Checkmate."
He emptied a shell into the Kell's face and blew off his head and his body combusted into flames, marking the death of one of the most notorious Kells and his house included.
"Well that takes of that; let's finish up, Alucard go set up explosives in the main power supply and anywhere else that looks important."
"You got it!" He took off jogging towards who knows where.
"Spectre, hack into their systems and pull out any information the Tower might be interested in."
"Understood." He spawned and went straight for a console.
"The rest of you on me we're going back to the hangars and transmat back to the ships when Alucard is done."
We all nodded and started running back the way we came, passing by the sleeping quarters and witnessing the aftermath of Alucard's jar of bees.
Ten minutes later in the engine room Dreg POV…
I don't want to think the impossible, but our Kell must have been killed since all the gunfire and explosions stopped suddenly and he would've called that the intruders have been dealt with. But for now I have to check the engine room to make sure they're secure so we can jump away from here and for our Barons to plot our next course of action. Wait is that a beep? I turned around the corner following the beeping noise.
…
"By the Primes! It's a bomb!"
The bomb started beeping fast until it stopped and then no sound or light from it. Thank the Primes it was a dud. I went to pick it up so I can dispose of it but the light and the beeping came back in a fury.
"SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER!"
"WHAT THE F—"
