Hey guys its Acnologia Prime again! I apologize for the late update but House of Wolves is too much fun and asks for a lot of my time. Plus I was out of ideas so there's that. For those who played it you would know what I'm talking about! Also who else lost their minds at the Taken King trailer? Any Hunters out there that excited as I am for Night Stalker? So really without further ado…
"So here we all are; with nothing but our wit and will, to save the world…"
Three weeks later Alisa Yor's apartment…
'Yawn' was all I could do after my three day hunt for Rykl, The Ravager. I searched for three days and I couldn't even find him when Zeta called me back for some rest. That Knight has been hunting Guardian Newborns and has been lately making raids on some our outposts since last week! However, I have to agree with Zeta I need sleep and lots of it considering I've been awake for three days straight. I'll look for him tomorrow I guess after some sleep.
"Sebastian, I'm going to sleep so don't wake me up unless it's important okay?" I asked him. I just want to sleep for the night without interruptions.
"Of course, Alisa and in the mean time I'll search for any reports on our quarry." Sebastian replied back while closing the blinds and turning off the lights and with that I instantly fell into a blissful sleep.
At the Twilight Gap Spectre's POV…
This Hunter is an absolute fool indeed. You summon Zeta all the way over here under the pretense that it was to discuss about the recent raids the Fallen and the Hive have been conducting. But alas, it was just to challenge him one on one, Dragon against Deity, Hunter against Huntress. Wolfe however foolish is quite skilled though but will regret that decision.
(Listen to Mystogan Theme Ost- Fairy Tail for this fight!)
Wolfe moved to try to shoot Zeta with her twin hand cannons the "Devil you know and Devil you don't" but Zeta merely blinked behind her and tripped her and moved to curb stomp her. But she rolled out of the way and upper-cutted him in return. Zeta quickly recovered and managed to grab her arm and toss her behind him to get some breathing room. Wolfe however, rolled to a stop and lunged to punch him only for Zeta to block it with his left arm and punched her with the other arm into the abdomen which sent Wolfe back half a foot gasping for air as she looked up to see Zeta causally walking towards her but with a menacing aura behind him.
Hmm this fight seems to be over I best contact the Tower infirmary for Wolfe's injuries. I looked to see Zeta reach her and cross his arms while looking down on her.
"Are you done wasting my time?" Zeta coldly asked her and at that she looked up and lowered her head in defeat and exhaustion.
"I yield." She replied back with a hint of disappointment, no doubt in herself for not being able to beat Zeta.
"Good." He replied back with a hint of annoyance in his voice and turned to me and gave me the signal to transmat him back to his Bane which I flew us both back to his apartment even though he continue to claim that it's 'our' home. Once we got near to the apartment, I transmatted him outside his door as he always requested. Once he entered his bedroom he took off his armor until he had the skin suit still on and went for the bed to proceed with his nightly shut down.
"Tomorrow we're going to the Eastern Europe Dead Zone for the Trials of Osiris." Zeta stated while getting on his bed.
"Understood and who are you taking for the Trials and why? It never interested you to before." I replied perplexed at my partner's sudden decision for this.
"The Speaker is getting suspicious on why the Cult of Osiris suddenly gotten so active recently so we're going to investigate while playing them so you can break into their databases or whatever they keep their information. Send messages to both Grimlock, Alucard and tell them to prepare for the Trials. We've got to figure what is going on so goodnight Spectre." Zeta finished before he shut down and I started carrying out my orders.
The next day at the Tower Courtyard Alisa's POV…
"So you're saying another Hunter has information?" I asked Sebastian before I took a sip of my bottle of water.
"Yes his name is Jericho and he's an Exo. He's very skilled in hunting enemy leaders so naturally he's hunting Rykl." He replied back with his usual tone while double checking his information.
"Okay that's great, where can I find him?" I asked while holstering Thorn and grabbing my LDR from the vault as well as my One Way Ticket.
"He's currently at the Cosmodrome right now, I sent him a notification to let him were coming to him soon. Once we set down I can get his exact location and we can get to work." Sebastian replied while waiting for me to finish.
"Alright I'm all set let's go!" I yelled with a smile on my face now that we have something to go on.
Twenty five minutes later in the Cosmodrome…
"Alright where am I going Sebastian?" I asked while checking my surroundings with my hand on Thorn.
"He's over at the Mothyards on top of a cliff that I will point out with a marker once you get close to the area. Also he's expecting you so we better get a move on." He quipped and spawned my Sparrow and I rode off while passing by a couple Guardians along the way. Luckily after riding for a few minutes I've entered the Mothyards and of course Sebastian marked the cliff with a signal marker. Once I reached the base of it I started my climb up to it and managed to get to the top. What awaited there wasn't a hand to help me up but a red sniper rifle's barrel. I instinctively ducked but I didn't hear a round go off so I climb up completely and found Jericho lying prone not moving, almost like he didn't notice me.
"Umm, Jericho are you there?" I asked while waving my in front of his face. When I got closer to his him he shook his head looked around and finally noticed me.
"Ah my apologies, I seem to accidently shut down earlier I'm sorry if I kept you waiting." Jericho apologized while quickly getting up and reaching to shake my hand which I did.
"It's not a problem I just got here. So let's get straight to business eh?" I replied back trying to change the subject.
"Right, I've been checking multiple reports on the Knight from other Guardians and after doing some research I highly believe he will show up here in the Mothyards in an hour give or take." He replied back and set himself closer to the ridge to with his rifle I in his arms and that's when I noticed.
"And we can see the entire area from up here! Good choice." I exclaimed somewhat quietly.
"Yeah for now we wait or if you want you can take on the Fallen right under us if you're bored." He said while getting comfortable. I glanced at him for a second before I went to the cliff and sure enough there were a squad of Fallen. I thought it over until I saw something strange.
"Hey Jericho there is a Fallen with dark blue armor with a squad of Devils. I don't think that's a high ranking Devil." I mentioned while trying to keep my voice low so only Jericho could hear. I heard Jericho getting to his feet then checking his Final Boss.
"Does it have a different sigil on its cloak?" I heard him say behind me. I looked down and what do you know, it has a different sigil on the cloak that did not look like the House of Devil's.
"Nope, way different than the Devils." I replied.
"Well go ahead and take them down, I'll watch your back from up here." He hoisted up his Final Boss as insurance that he's not lying. I nodded and dropped down and used my extra jump to slow my descent. Once I landed I threw an Arc Bolt Grenade at the group and watched the Arc jump victim to victim and unleashed Thorn on the remaining blue Vandal. Although the Mark of Devourer would finish off my targets I usually prefer to finish them quickly to spare them the agonizing pain. Although I only spare the Fallen from this fate; the rest aren't so lucky especially the Hive. Once I killed the blue Vandal I went over to its body so Sebastian could analyze it. I opened my palm and let Sebastian float over to the body while I kept an eye for any threats that might show up and once I heard Sebastian's trademark 'hm' I knew he was done.
"This Vandal is from the House of Wolves." Sebastian plainly stated while looking at the Wire Rifle peculiarly.
"You mean the House of Wolves that the Queen of the Reef enslaved?" I asked while grabbing his cloak and looking at the strange sigil.
"Correct this one most likely rebelled, escape the reef to land here on Earth to gain help from the Devils. Well, until you intervened that is." He finished that last part sarcastically.
I huffed and looked at the Wire Rifle that Sebastian been staring at. I moved to pick it up and surprisingly it didn't disappear, dissipate or well explode in my face. I was so entranced with it that I didn't notice Sebastian next to me scanning it, in which it disappeared in blue light.
"Before you say anything I've made some alterations to it so it can be used by us instead of Fallen hands." He quickly stated with obvious glee in his voice while changing up my inventory so I can equip it. I felt my LDR on my back disappear and felt something slightly heavier suddenly appear. I holstered my Thorn and unslung my new Wire Rifle and started to inspect it.
"So I'm guessing because I can wield this thing it has a name?" I asked.
"According to my system, it's called Queenbreaker's Bow and it's basically a Sniper Rifle with a charge time." Sebastian replied.
"Well I don't like the name so can we change it?" I asked with unnecessary pout.
"Sure what do you have in mind?" He asked.
"Hm, how about Fallen Starlight?" I offered to him and before he could answer a familiar voice, voiced his opinion.
"I like the name and all but get back up here already!" Jericho yelled with a slight hint of annoyance or maybe boredom. I silently sighed while starting my climb back up. Once I reached the top I was greeted this time with a hand to lift me up instead of a rifle's barrel. I thanked him then proceeded to the edge to get some practice done with my new Fallen Starlight. Sadly, I missed multiple times which gave my targets to flee and run for cover.
"Need some help? I could teach you on how to use that rifle." Jericho offered.
"Really? Thank you for offering!" I exclaimed while he got next to me.
An hour later, late afternoon…
"Alright remember, if the shot misses you do not blame the rifle for you blame yourself. The Arc shot wants to hit's target but it requires your guidance for the shot is blind. So concentrate and focus on the timing of the charge." He lectured and as he finished I put the scope over on a Captain's head and pulled the trigger, held it for Starlight to charge until it automatically shot like a Fusion Rifle. The Arc shot forced the rifle to slightly recoil but I was able to see the Devil Captain disappear in Arc particles.
"Now this is a weapon, thanks for the help Jericho!" I exclaimed which he nodded and went back to waiting. With that we went back to waiting for The Ravager to appear.
Luckily for us we only had to wait thirty more minutes when we saw a Hive Tombship which dropped a squadron of Hive Knights. There were seven Knights including Rykl, The Ravager who is marked with blood red lines across its face. I was thinking on getting close to ambush him like I usually do but then I remembered it's only me and Jericho so that won't work.
"Hey Yor, we could shoot them from here and plus Rykl is the primary objective to begin with anyway." Jericho stated while inspecting the scope for his rifle.
"I'm game! Same time?" I agreed and asked in which he nodded as we both got ready. But then we noticed they're in an area with a lot of cover and another Tombship just arrived dropping a mix between Acolytes and Thralls.
(So while I was writing this following part I was listening to Artifice- Twelve Titans Music. I believe it fits this following scene so go my minions!)
"How are we going to do this? Rykl could just escape in the middle of the firefight if he survives the shots." I asked worriedly. Jericho was going to say something until a familiar voice appeared in the general comms.
"This is Omega-73 calling for any nearby Guardians! I require immediate assistance! I've located a large Hive force let by Rykl the Ravager here in the Mothyards!" We've heard Omega yelling on the comms. I was unaware that he was hunting Rykl as well.
"Omega, it's Alisa no time to explain but I need you to get on your Sparrow and make come towards the signal beacon I'm readying for you right now!" I yelled while getting ready knowing Omega will listen without question.
Omega's POV…
"Understood moving in!" I exclaimed and sure enough there was the beacon. I summoned my Sparrow in which I already sped towards the Hive while pulling out my TFWPKY 1969 and shot a few Acolytes as well the Ravager to get their attention. Rykl roared at me and started to chase me with the rest of them behind him. I grinned under my helmet as widely an Exo could grin while speeding towards the Beacon. However, about halfway there one of them managed to hit my Sparrow with their Boomer which threw me off it and send me rolling on the ground. I quickly recovered and looked up to see a Knight bringing down it's sword on me. However, before it could land a blue beam of Arc that strangely looked like a Wire rifle literally destroyed it. I looked behind me to see Alisa as well as another Hunter I didn't recognize sniping the Hive and me being the someone to be outdone so easily took out my 1969 (I'm just going to call it that; I'm not going to continue writing the whole thing over and over.). A thrall jumped at me point blank but was killed by another Arc beam; I looked behind me to see Alisa using what appears to be a Fallen Wire Rifle. I'm going to have to ask her about it later. I moved forward and activated my Golden Gun and wiped out a chunk of them which left only Rykl who was shooting me with his Boomer in his left hand while sending shockwaves with his sword on his right. I kept dodging both of his weapons while at the same time he's being hammered by the two snipers on the ridge behind me. However, Rykl finally got fed up with the snipers and unleashed a volley on them with his Boomer which luckily they both jumped off the ridge.
The unknown Hunter however, did something quite unexpected which at the same time is something Zeta or Alucard would do. The Hunter activated his Golden Gun, landed on Rykl's shoulders and proceeded to put the Gun in Rykl's mouth and pull the trigger once which resulted in a fiery explosion.
Back to Alisa's POV…
Rykl was finally dead! Hopefully with that we don't have to worry about these kinds of raids for a while.
"Hey Omega glad you showed up when you did; we probably wouldn't have pulled that off without you suddenly showing up." I thanked while looking at Jericho who just deactivated his Golden Gun. Omega went up to Jericho and they both introduced and congratulated themselves.
"Well guys I don't know about you guys but I'm going to celebrate!" I yelled out excitedly.
"Hell yeah I'm in!" Omega yelled out while Jericho politely declined and transmatted away.
Eastern Europe Dead Zone, Widow's Court No one's POV…
(You guessed it another one! Decimate by Brand X Music [Also known as the Taken King trailer music] enjoy!)
The three Titans were running from something or someone unaware that two unknown beings were waiting to ambush them in the middle street. Immediately they were ambushed by them; one of them a black-gold Hunter grabbed one of them and sank a knife into his throat. The other one was black-maroon Warlock who destroyed the Titan with the power of the Sun. The last one continued running to collect himself and ran inside the church only to run into the same thing they were running from: The Berserker of the Twilight Gap. The Titan however chose to stand and fight. He shoulder charged the Berserker out of the church only for him to barely flinch and send a punch to the Titan to send him flying into the wall. The Titan in a last ditched effort to win this fight tried to use the Fist of Havoc on the Berserker only for him to stop his attack with one hand and used the other one to punch him in the face so hard it left a large dent into the Titan's helmet. With that the match was over, the Titans were automatically transmatted to their ships to turn in their defeated Trials Passages to the Brother Vance.
Zeta's POV in orbit to next match…
(Listen to Calliope Music - Nowhere To Run enjoy!)"OH man I can only imagine that Titan's face when he saw me inside the church waiting for him!" Alucard laughing his head off (find hellsing abridged episode 3 Alucard's funny laugh early in the video) luckily for him Seras is flying his ship this time.
"Grimlock what are we dealing with this upcoming match?" I asked Grimlock while checking my Last Word and Felweinter's Lie which I only use for these kinds of Crucible matches.
"You know we need one more win to be able to go to the Lighthouse right?" Grimlock asked.
"Yes, I am aware of it. What's the problem?" I replied back in confusion.
"We're about to engage with Fireteam Deity this time." Grimlock replied back with a slight but not completely hidden tone of amusement. It's no secret that Grimlock enjoys to fight Ares their God of War. He's the only one who's an actual challenge to Grimlock besides Alucard and me.
"Hm alright Alucard you'll finally have that chance to fight Lucifer again gee hee." I told Alucard this to get him in his words 'all fired up'.
"I'm all fired up!" Told you so.
Round one 0-0…
"Grimlock! Throw a Solar Grenade on top of the crow's nest!"
"Roger!" Grimlock threw the Solar which landed in the middle of the next which forced Wolfe to abandon it and gave me and Alucard the opportunity to push forward into the garden where we found Wolfe running out the back exit of the nest. I quickly leveled my Last Word, shot a few rounds into her back and she dropped with her Ghost appearing above her body to signify she's out for now. However before we can move a blip on our motion trackers suddenly appeared next to us. I blinked out of there to see Lucifer try to shoulder charge Alucard only for him to get out the way at the last possible second and shoot him with his Found Verdict the moment Lucifer turned around to retaliate. He ends up the same way Wolfe ended up.
While me and Alucard are reloading two Fusion grenades stick the both of us. The result wasn't glorious. Ares then appears who starts running to revive Lucifer only for Grimlock to suddenly appear in front of him, grab him by the throat and throws him into the brick wall opposite of the fallen Guardians. He then proceeded to throw a Solar Grenade at him as casually as someone throws a finished cigarette and with that we barely won the first round.
Round three 3-2…
"Damn they have us pinned with those damn Machine Guns! Any ideas!?" I heard Grim yell out over all the heavy gunfire. I looked to my left to see Alucard leveling his "Honey Badger".
"Honey Badger don't give a fuck!" He yelled at the same time he fired the missile which hit Lucifer head on while the Wolf Pack rounds finished off Wolfe and Ares. Alucard walked up to their Ghosts saying why they couldn't survive a bit longer so he could use the other three missiles. Alucard your Rocket Launcher is the Ghallahorn/ Honey Badger they shouldn't have survived the first one.
(Please listen to Hi-Finesse-Axis for this part)
Final Round 4-4…
"This is starting to seem like you're specifically targeting me Wolfe." I sarcastically said to her while we're both circling each other in our Arc Blade modes. (You could skip to 1:33 for this part to fit in) After an unknown amount of time we lunged at each other slicing the air around each other trying to hit the other. Each lunge barely missed each other's targeted limb, it seems like this was her true potential. Eventually both our blades clashed which caused an explosion to occur which sent us both of sliding a few feet from each other and with that our Arc Blades shut down. We both ran at each other with a knife in hand but I was faster and managed to quickly disarm her, before she could reach for another one I Blink Struck behind her which finished her off. Finally feeling exhaustion I sat down to rest wondering how the others are doing. Sadly, before I could ponder it any further Lucifer appeared out of nowhere and shoulder charged me into the wall practically killing me there; after all a Titan is still a Titan. Lucifer proceeded to revive Wolfe and when she revived they both made no move to disrespect me.
"At least they have a sense of honor. Ah well Grimlock and Alucard will finish this fight." I said while watching the two Deity members leave the area.
Alucard's POV…
"Guardian down? Alucard they took down Zeta it's only you and Grimlock now unless you can revive Zeta." I heard Seras inform me of Zeta's defeat but I know for a fact he beat Wolfe only for someone else to finish him off. I might as well contact Grim and see if we have a plan of attack.
"Grim, did you hear?" I asked him on the comms considering I'm at the courtyard and he was at the garden.
"Yeah I heard but I got my hands full with both Ares and Wolfe. Knowing our luck Lucifer is probably making his to you right now. Kick his ass! I'm going to get rid of this Wolfe chick and finish this fight with Ares." Grimlock yelled over the comms and right after he said that, the HUD said enemy Guardian is down with Wolfe's name on it.
(Decimate from earlier right now)
Sure enough Lucifer turns the corner and of course we both throw our weapons away. Both of ours arms start cracking with Arc energy as we both lung at each other and start creating shockwaves every time our fists connect with each other. I moved to kick him but he dodges, grabs my leg and slams me into the floor. I returned the courtesy with Arc infused uppercut to the face which sent him into the air a few feet. However, Lucifer quickly recovers from this and proceeds to push me unto the wall which I tried to get out of there by using the armor's jump jets. Lucifer then starts punching me into the wall repeatedly while we're gaining altitude. (For those who want a better idea. This scene is literally based off the part when Hulk and Iron Man face off in the Avengers 2 and the Hulk starts pounding him into the wall while going up until Iron Man flips the positions.) After a few seconds I maneuvered around one of his punches, grabbed his shoulder and slammed him through the building. (See?) While he was falling I activated my Fist of Havoc which I proceeded to launch myself at him and practically acted as human mortar. The landing impact created a large crater with me having my left leg on his chest to signify that I beat him. I then look down to see his Ghost appear to confirm that he's out for now. Might as well as watch the fight from the crow's nest.
(Artifice again from earlier I couldn't resist!)
Grimlock's POV…
We both just stared at each other while letting our Sunsinger energy leak out to see who has more. It seems we are both evened out.
"So it comes down to this huh Ares? One on one? Dragon against Deity?" I asked him politely.
"It seems it has Grimlock. Now let's find out who is stronger; me or you?" He replied back politely but you can tell he's itching to fight.
After a few silent seconds, tumbleweed passes and when it fully passes it begins. Immediately we both move to punch the other. We keep this up until we backed off each other and threw our respective grenades at each other which seemingly kills us both. (For this quick upcoming part please listen to Before my Body is Dry from Kill la Kill ost and skip to the 1:00 mark and then continue with epic parts of Artifice.) We both use our Fireborn ability at the same time and clash once again. Each time our fists collide and small explosion of Solar energy happens. Eventually I grabbed his left arm, twisted behind his back, then kicked the back of his right knee which forced him to the ground his knees and finally broke his left arm then proceeded to pull out my Perun's Fire. The end result was placing the barrel of the Fusion Rifle, pulling the trigger and watched it fire into his chest which vaporized him into Solar particles. With his defeat we completed the Trials of Osiris flawlessly.
In Mercury's orbit Zeta's POV…
"That was surprisingly fun, we should do the Trials more often eh Zeta?" Grimlock asks over the comms.
"Definitely we can do it next time again if we have time but for now let's head for these Caloris Spires and this Lighthouse." I replied back while banking my Bane towards the surface of Mercury.
(Listen to Assault on The Gulag MW2 ost just the first part though)
We quickly reached the surface and started our flight towards the coordinates that Brother Vance gave us to the Lighthouse. Luckily after flying for a few minutes we found it then proceeded to transmat unto the ground. I hit the ground first with Grimlock then Alucard behind me with their weapons raised in case of ambush and after seeing no trace of an ambush they put away their weapons but stayed alert.
We started walking down the hallway passing by multiple decorations and such most likely based off a long forgotten culture. After a couple minutes of walking we came across a bridge that led to some altar that had a chest or coffin in solid gold and it had some kind of ceremonial bipedal golden bird. Once we gotten close to it I put both my hands on it and its locks started to unlock as well. The bird thing spun halfway and the coffin opened to reveal…
At the Tower's Hunter's Lounge Alisa's POV…
"And you said you needed practice Omega." I laughed the sentence out.
"What? Is it a surprise I'm a fast learner? Come on Alisa, have some faith in me!" Omega replied with a hilarious pout. We just came back from the firing range after teaching Omega on how to use Hand cannons more precisely and he's a pretty good shot as well a quick learner. For now we're just hanging out in the Hunter's Lounge occasionally being thanked and congratulated by other Hunters that walked by and such. I noticed Omega was going to say something else but he suddenly stopped like something got his throat and looked the other way very quickly. I turned to see that gold-white Hunter with Iron Banner armor walked in looking exhausted as she pulled a stool a foot away from us asking for a drink. When the drink arrived she lowered her hood and took off her helmet revealing a woman with short straw colored hair that ended in a loose pony tail, grey-green eyes with a scar on her right cheek.
"You're that Huntress from Dragon right? Zeta's new protégé Alisa Yor." She asked quietly with a tired expression.
"Yes that's me and who are you if I may ask?" I asked politely.
"My name is Wolfe; Fireteam Deity's leader. I just came back from the Trials of Osiris and sadly we've lost." She gave a small smile as she answered.
"I'm sorry to hear that, you'll get them next time right?" I hid my shock with some enthusiasm that she needs. So this is Zeta's self-proclaimed rival huh?
"Yeah, I guess but then again we went against Dragon and well we've lost although we gave them a good fight." She took another sip from her drink but what confused me was she wasn't mad or anything that her rival Fireteam beat her. She seems just content that she gave them a good fight.
"Well it was nice meeting you Wolfe but I have to go now it's getting late. Omega I'll see you later!" They both waved as I left the Lounge and went for the Courtyard to put my gear in the vault. Once I got there I went straight to drop off my gear in the vault and once I finished I saw three ships that I haven't see for the past three days. I saw Zeta's Bane, Grimlock's Valkyrie, and Alucard's Light in the Abyss pass by. (Listen to Return of the King 300 ost) I looked at the end of Courtyard by the railing to see Fireteam Dragon being transmatted. When they gotten closer I sat that they had new armor than before; Zeta's armor was now black with gold, his torso's armor piece was not his usual Relentless Harness but a plain chest piece that looked like it has wings. He still has his Twin Ahamkara Spines on his arms but his cloak was no longer the Red Eclipse Cloak instead had a long black cloak with a hood that made him look almost like royalty. Grimlock apparently looked the same except his gauntlets changed to looking like black bandages with a black shoulder guard on his left shoulder. Finally, Alucard looked the most different his helmet looked like an eagle, his torso looked the same as Zeta's but larger, his gauntlets had wings surrounding his shoulder guards but kept his Titan mark from Raid on Crota. Finally they reached me and they all waved while Zeta gave me a nod that we'll talk later as they continued walking to the Speaker's office.
"Damn what a day…"
The following is the House of Wolves Special from the before so for those who haven't read it continue and enjoy. For those who have read it and have no intention of reading it again skip to the end of it to see the Author's Notes because as always it's important, enjoy!
Hey Guys so this is a surprise for you loyal fans you! This chapter is not related to the actual story at all! This is just a slight AU for fun for the anticipation for the House of Wolves! This is my telling when I first ran into Dreviss, the Baroness with my friend Alucard1200 again the owner of Alucard, after the update. So please guys do me a solid and review or PM me! It does help me! Enjoy~
"The Fuck is that!?"
0_0
"Forget the Weekly Heroic Strike! It's the House of Wolves Baroness! Kill it with Fire!"
"I'm shooting the Honey Badger!"
"Alisa, I just got message from Zeta and he wants us to fly to orbit right now ASAP." Sebastian simply stated.
"Huh? Alright let's go!"
After we flew to orbit, we were welcomed by Zeta's Bane already there and judging by the readings it's already ready to jump somewhere. I get a notification that Zeta is trying to communicate with me and I activate my comms in my helmet.
"Alright Alisa we are going to meet with the Queen of The Reef on behalf of the Traveler and I want you to come with me on this one." He said with a little bit annoyance in his voice.
"Okay not a problem so let's go!" I already had the coordinates from Sebastian and I jump right after Zeta.
Thirty minutes later at the Reef…
"Intruder, state your business or be fired upon by the order of the Queen." Ordered the Awoken Pilot who was bearing right next to me right now, so please Zeta say something!
"My name is Zeta-48 and my companion is Alisa Yor and we've come by the invitation from the Queen of the Reef." He replied over the comms with a complete calm and almost political voice.
…
"You've been authorized to land in docking bay 1 dash 3, deviate from current course and you will be fired upon." Again with the threats! Well at least we're here and hopefully this Queen of the Reef won't be too bad.
Inside the Queen's Throne Room…
"Ah it's been awhile 'Guardian', ah and you've brought a friend…" A male Awoken that had Hunter gear said. I could tell he were a prick and the way he emphasized on the word Guardian want me want to punch him. Zeta however just shoved past him almost making the Awoken prick lose his balance.
I was still giggling when I felt Zeta stop walking and I looked up to see two Fallen Vandals with spears on the sides of a throne which housed no one at the moment. I was going to reach for my knife when I saw Zeta lift his hand to tell me to stop what I was doing and I complied and calmed a bit but still watching the Vandals.
"Thank you Zeta for coming on such short notice and I apologize for any hostile treatment on the way here. They're just on edge is all." A Awoken woman appeared from behind the throne and gracefully sat on the throne, which now I assume and confirmed that this the Queen of the Reef.
"Not a problem, now what seems to be the occasion that you contacted the Vanguard and asked for me specifically?" Zeta asked with curiosity in his voice while crossing his arms.
"The House of Wolves have betrayed the Awoken people and escaped to your worlds. I want you to find them and kill every last one of them for their betrayal." Her calm face and voice changed from that to pure malice in both places.
"Betrayed? You've enslaved a proud House and you believed they would have stayed loyal to you? It was bound to happen but I will take the offer on a few conditions." Zeta said calmly but at the same time trying to sound a little mocking tone.
"As you say but fine, I'm listening Hunter." The Queen replied with a sneer. She was not happy being mocked.
"Allow all Guardians access to this assignment you're giving as well as free access to the Reef, no matter their race. I know how you treat Awoken that have left the Reef, also with the promise of bounties and rewards." He finished and waited for her answer but apparently the Awoken prick had something to say.
"Absolutely not! Sister you can't allow for these demands! The Reef is home to the Awoken no one else and certainly not filthy Guar—"He was interrupted by a surprise sucker punch to the face from Zeta and when he turned back to take out a knife to stab Zeta. I don't what happened or why I did that but I ran and kicked him in his family jewels. The reaction: an unmanly squeal of pain. With the now shown brother to the Queen on the floor in a fetal position while clutching his most likely shattered jewels the Queen stood up with surprising calm on her face but at the same time you could feel anger coming from her.
"Enough! I accept your conditions and will allow Guardians to enter the Reef and to all its treasures. Please escort our guests to the hangar and have my brother brought to the infirmary." The Queen finished and stood up to leave with the Vandals behind her along with two Awoken Guards behind them.
An hour later above Earth's orbit…
"Wow I can't believe you kicked him in the dick." Was Sebastian response to end the silence.
"Gee hee, impressive work back there Alisa now you're officially the first person to kick a prince in the dick in centuries." Zeta said while chuckling from the events that transpired, while I was laughing.
"Anyway our first target is Dreviss, the Baroness and according to our good friend Jericho; she's currently over at the Cosmodrome in the Forgotten Shore. I've already contacted Omega and his Fireteam Temple to meet us there as well as Alucard. So let's go!" Zeta's Bane immediately flew towards the surface at high speeds with me right behind him in my Misfit.
Forgotten Shore Jericho's POV…
I have the perfect shot on this Baroness but sadly her shield is too strong. Not only that but it can recharge extremely quickly if you stopped shooting for a brief second to reload so this will take a lot of people to pull off.
I started hearing those voices again and thanks to them I lost my concentration and removed myself from the scope as I fought with them. I wish there was a way to remove these voice out of my head but at least I survived this long and no one knows about yet so there's a bonus. Ugh, where are they? I've got a feeling these Wolves will leave pretty soon. I was about to contact Zeta again until my HUD told me a list of names entering the area:
Zeta
Omega
Blade
Hyperion
Alucard
Alisa Yor
Blight
"Nice two fireteams and a lone wolf, we definitely have a chance for sure if we play our cards right. Zeta it's Jericho, I've spotted her entering the cave at your four o clock, she's got five Vandals, four Captains and two Servitors patrolling the front of the cave." I finished the report and fought the voices out of my head and place my scope on the meanest looking Captain of the group.
"Alright once we're a couple feet away from them take the shot and we'll throw Alucard in with his Havoc." Zeta replied back with the plan and I've focused on my first victim of the day.

I pulled the trigger when I saw them only a few feet away and watched the bullet hit its mark and watched the headless Captain fall to the ground and before its companions could react they looked up to see Alucard glowing blue…
Alisa's POV…
After we heard the explosion the rest of us joined in and went straight for the survivors as well as Dreviss. I pulled out Thorn and shot a few rounds into a Captain who tried to shoot at Alucard and watched as the Mark of the Devourer finished off the Captain. I looked to my right to see a Vandal about to shoot me only for its head to explode from Jericho's Final Boss.

I waved at him and focused on the last Wolf standing which happened to be Dreviss outnumbered by eight Guardians and she roared in defiance and rushed us while firing her Shrapnel Launcher. I dodged her shots and fired back and watched Zeta and Omega shoot her and Alucard took out his Honey Badger AKA Ghallahorn and fire at her two missile plus the times two mini tracking missiles. Dreviss however, just walked out of the crater and jumped at Zeta and Omega with two swords only for the both of them to dodge and Omega jumped back and activated his Golden Gun and fired four shots at the Baroness. Zeta landed next to me and called my attention.
"Alisa you ready for this!?"
"You know it!" I yelled back knowing what he was thinking as we both activated our Arc Blades and rushed her.
We both slashed at her from all sides as she tried to fight back to no avail in which Zeta and I launched a Razor's Edge at Dreviss just as we lost the Arc Blade. When they collided her shields went down again and both Alucard and Hyperion launched an assault with their rifles to make sure her shields didn't recharge while I saw sniper rounds hitting Dreviss repeatedly from Jericho. I saw Blight take to the air and launched three Nova Bombs at her and Blade unslinging his Machine gun firing at her and finally Dreviss, fell to her knees after all the damage that been dealt to her. She looked up at us as we saw her blood flowing out from her wounds and she managed to utter a sentence surprisingly in English.
"Skolas… will… hunt you… down…" She muttered as Zeta stepped aside from her and did something quite strange.
"I do apologize on what happened to your House, truly I am but it has to be done." Zeta said with an apologetic tone.
"I… will see… you… burn…"
"Not today…" Zeta replied as a round from Jericho's Final Boss blew her head off and her body slumped back.
Zeta then turned to us and holstered his Last Word and said one phrase that we will remember for a long time.
"Let the Hunt Begin…"
And finally that's it Guardians chapter 10! This has been avoided for the reason that I scrapped the story a few times because of the idea of putting the Iron Banner as well as a few scenes that Alucard thought of. Also Iron Banner will not make an appearance in this story unless enough people ask for it. But I hope you enjoy the action packed chapter! Special thanks to Reilly.216 for his OC Jericho! I know I did! Please tell me who are your favorite characters in this story for… reasons… Finally, who saw Jurassic World!? Loved the movie completely! For those who haven't watched it I highly recommend that you watch it in complete surround sound theater! Finally, I will go through the story and rewrite them at some point since I've gotten better at writing. Can't wait to see what you guys think of this chapter!
