Hello everybody my name is TheAwoken54321 and welcome back to "The Void".
Now since I know a lot of you might've skipped my Author's Note, I might as well say it here. In the original chapter for this story, even though some of you guys will still probably skip the Author's Note. Oh well.
Anyways, to those of you that skipped my note I was only saying that I had publish another story, but this time it's a Naruto x GTA V crossover. Some of you might know this already and don't really find an interest in this type of crossover. Some of you guys do and went ahead and checked it out, for that I would like to thank you for your support on both of my stories. It just show's me that you guys are willing to stick with me even though the first chapters I released for this story was plain up trash. It really was, but it's not because the way I wrote it. No, it was just the missing detail, affection, and all those other things a reader is looking for in a story, which I so happen not to use in the beginning chapters, but my idea for those chapters weren't necessarily bad either. It was just I wrote so fast in those chapters that I never even bothered to look back and see the grammar mistakes I made as well as finding better words I could have used to describe how the characters look, feel, what they're doing, and how they're doing it.
Oh, and also in this chapter you will finally see the name of Naruto's Fireteam, which I so happen to forget about multiple times as I write chapter after chapter, so thanks to that Guest who reminded me on what I forgot.
Anyways, that's all I had to say as of right now
Now without a further a do.
Let the story continue.
Enjoy... Or not, your choice
Light, that was all they felt, all they could see. The light of the star that rises up every morning to show that they're still alive. That they're still up and kicking. That they're still breathing.
This light was shining towards a room where there were two people sleeping side by side as they held each other in their arms. Their faces were plastered with smiles as the warmth the two radiated off their bodys embraced one another. They held on to each another as if it was the only thing they were left to touch, the only thing left to feel and love.
The two people that were lying on the bed consisted of one man and one woman. To be more specific, one human male and one female Awoken. Also known as Naruto and Shannon.
Naruto's eyes started to twitch open from the heat and light of the Sun, soon his eyes started to flutter open letting his blurry vision stabilize from it's short night of sleep.
"Morning already?" He sat up from his bed and started to rub his eyes. That was until he felt someone on his left. Not looking where he was about to place his hand, it pressed on something, soft, warm, and squishy. His eyes widen soon after he heard a moan next to him and with caution, he slowly turned his head to the person who released a pleasured filled moan seconds ago.
As soon as he saw what his hand was pressing up against, he had to fight down a blush as his hands were pressed up against Shannon's breast. It didn't help either that she was completely nude from head to toe. The only garments she had on were only her panties. He also noticed that he was also naked too, but unlike her. He was completely naked.
Slowly retracting his hand from Shannon's breast, he couldn't help but look upon the glorified body that Shannon possessed. It was just so elegant and perfect. If it wasn't for his sane personality, he would have stopped at nothing just to take this woman as his right now, he doubt she would mind it either considering she had felt like this toward him for quite some time and there wasn't any need on taking things slow since they practically knew everything about each other by now. Well not everything.
He soon heard a sound of a familiar person of his coming into his room and looked at the place where his Ghost now appeared. "Hey, Naruto it's almost time to- Woah! Sorry I didn't know you guys went all the way to third base in only one night."
Naruto sighed and nodded his head before he looked back at his Ghost. "You got it all wrong Ghost. We haven't even gotten that far yet. We barely started dating last night." After Naruto said this, Ghost decided to put on his armor for him and with a quick flash, Naruto's entire Manifold Seeker armor appeared on his body.
"I don't know, you two were pretty drunk last night and I doubt that you guys hadn't done anything after you left the party."
Hearing what his Ghost said, he couldn't help but think on when he left the party. He couldn't recall anything last night as his memory's were nothing but a blur. "Ghost, what exactly happened to me? I don't remember much of everything, I couldn't even recall the moment I left the bar."
"Figures." Ghost turned and started to stroll around his dorm, inspecting everything he has in their. "Well, there was the moment when Raider started to get into fights. That abnormal fox almost getting caught a few times when you weren't around. Cayde decided to be somewhat of a 'badass' and took another bottle of that Devils Spring Vodka only to pass out before he can take a sip from the bottle. And multiple other things that can give you a pretty good laugh." He then stopped and look towards Naruto. "Finally, there's you and Shannon. Soon during the party, you two eventually got so drunk that you guys couldn't stop sucking eachother's faces. You guys eventually grew tired of staying in the bar and decided to head back to your dorm for the night, but when you guys were doing this. Shannon wrapped her legs around your waist and you pretty much grabbed her rear as you two kept kissing each other out of the bar and towards your room. Ha, I wouldn't be surprised if you guys went through a little bit of Oral pleasures before you two passed out on your bed."
"What make's you say that?"
"Well, you two were practically naked when I entered. Also, when... haha." Ghost started to grin a little perversely, not like we can see it though.
"Well, what?" Naruto looked up towards his Ghost.
"Haha, well when Shannon's Ghost and I were wondering where and how you two were at the moment, we sort of teleported toward your location where we then saw... hehe, we saw Shannon on her knees as she was apparently sucking on your rod."
Naruto blushed on hearing what his partner said. He didn't remember much of everything last night, now here is his Ghost telling him he experience oral sex for his first time, but he never even got to witness the pleasure of it all. Now he wished he hadn't asked his Ghost to continue his sentence. "O-oh, now I wished I hadn't said anything."
Looking at Naruto, Ghost got his perverted grin back as he giggled a little. "So, you want to know how it looks like when Shannon was giving you head. It seemed like she couldn't fit your entire length in your mouth."
"Y-you recorded it!." Naruto yelled shockingly at his Ghost,
"Yup, now if you'll excuse me. It seems Shannon is starting to wake up from your sudden outburst." As soon as he finished saying that, Ghost quickly disappeared from sight before Naruto can protest at all.
"God damn it Ghost." Naruto seethed before he heard stirring behind him. Turning around, he heard Shannon yawn as she stretched her limbs before she sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"That was some night. I hope it wasn't a dream." Shannon raised up her hands as she stretched her back causing a few pops to be heard. Feeling something touch her foot, she looked up with her half opened eyes and looked at the person across from her. She soon realized that this person was the person who she confessed to.
Staring at each other for a few seconds, Naruto decided to speak up. "Hi."
"H-hello." Shannon stuttered a bit before she felt something cold on her. Looking down, she saw that she was completely nude aside from her panties. Slowly looking back up, she blushed as she started to point a finger from him to her. "D-did we..."
"N-no, at least I think we d-didn't." Naruto blushed under his helmet as was trying to keep his eyes on something else.
"O-oh, t-that's to bad." Shannon pulled the blanket over her, blocking everything from view from her mouth to her lower regions. "I was hoping we would kind of d-do it. Even if I was drunk."
"I-is that so? Well, if it makes you feel better. I think I remembered doing some f-foreplay before we passed out." Naruto lied through his teeth, it was true they actually did a little bit of foreplay last night, but he couldn't remember what or how they did it. His Ghost came in and apparently told him on what happened.
Shannon's entire face started to become a light colored purple once she heard this. She actually got to do it with the person she loved even though they didn't went all the way. She didn't care if they didn't go all the way though, she's just slightly irritated that she couldn't remember anything that happened. "N-Naruto?" she spoked quite softly.
Looking at her, Naruto could see her face was steaming as she still kept some of the sheet covering her face. "Y-yeah?"
"D-do you think w-we could do it a-again?" As soon as those words left her mouth she lifted her blanket over her, to embarrassed on what she requested.
Naruto's heart started to beat rapidly on her request, he honestly didn't know much about sex but it's not like she knows either. Everyone usually gets scared on their first time, it's normal. Well unless you're lecherous. Really, if you're lecherous then you're probably some creep that wants to experience sex so much, or you just watch so much porn you became like that.
A few seconds later, Naruto smiled before giving her an answer. "Sure, we'll probably try this after all of this is over."
Shannon smiled at him before she got up from his bed, being sure to still keep the sheet covering her figure, and walked over to him. As soon as their faces were inches apart, they stared into each other's eyes before slowly leaning their lips toward each other.
As soon as they were about to kiss each other, and possibly a non stop make out, they were interrupted when Naruto's door suddenly flew open.
"Hey guys, ready to go back to ma..." Raider barged in through the door but soon stopped when he saw what they were about to do. Apparently Naruto and Shannon were completely taken by surprise from the sudden interruption that they quickly backed up from each other. This caused Shannon to lose her balance and fell straight towards the floor as well as losing her grip on her sheet, causing the sheet to fall from her body and expose her nude self.
0-0 "Holy melons." Raider spoke completely off guard on what he saw
Shannon immediately crossed her legs and placed her arms over her breast's before she looked at Raider with tear filled raging eyes. Her face was burning in embarrassment from being seen completely naked by someone else other than Naruto. That embarrassment soon turned angerish type of embarrassment as she tightened her fists to the point where you can actually hear loud cracks from them. "R-Raider!." She frowned as a little bit of tears were streaming down her face.
Raider stood there for a second or two more until he snapped out of his shock only to see an angry woman slowly making his way towards him. Knowing what sign this movement meant, he started to step back from the danger in front of him as he waved his arms in front of him. "Now now Shannon, it was just an accident. There's no need to do anything..." *Gulp* "...brutal."
She however didn't stop, instead her pace started pick up causing Raider to have his back hit the wall. "N-Naruto? A little bit of help here!"
"No way man. Sorry to say this but you're on your own." Naruto quickly headed out of his room before closing the door as well as leaning on it. "He could have immediately walk out but instead he stood there like a dumbass." Naruto thought to himself as he hoped Raider would receive a little mercy from Shannon.
It took a second later until he could hear the ruckus inside his room.
"N-no, not the face, not the face!" He heard Raider yell out in panic. "Never mind! Up to the face! Yes the face!"
Naruto shivered knowing what Shannon was gonna aim for, the only thing he heard was the sound of pain filled screams before he started to walk away from his room. While walking away he only thought of one thing. "Why did all of this have to happen in my room?"
Shannon, Raider, and Naruto bid their farewells to their friends in the Tower before they were teleported to their ships. Cayde and Zavala couldn't help but ask Raider on why he was limping almost the whole time where he then replied that it was an avoidable accident. Ikora, seeing the angry/satisfied expression on Shannon's face, pretty much figured what exactly happened with Raider. She couldn't help but shake her head and smirk lightly as she remembered Raider's loud, obnoxious, dense and stupid personality. But she can at least put up with it time to time, after all it's rare to see humorous people like Raider in these dark times.
"I gotta admit, Shannon really can punch when she's enraged." Raider mumbled as he rubbed various parts of his body.
"Yeah, well. You did deserve it. Next time, knock on the door to let them know you're coming in before you enter." His Ghost rolled it's eye at his Guardian not knowing proper manners.
"Yeah, yeah. I just got unlucky because Leonardo wasn't there to assist me." Raider looked toward his 'other' partner. "Isn't that right Leo."
Leonardo was holding up a sign that read 'Nope, you would have been one your own anyway'.
"No, come on Leo, I thought we had a stronger bond with each other." Raider cried slightly now knowing that he would be left to fend for himself if he ever angered someone like Shannon again.
Raider's Ghost sighed on putting up with Raider's child self almost everyday, 24/7. Looking out the window of the ship, he saw Naruto's ship jump speed to Mars, then Shannon's, and it wasn't long until their ship quickly followed behind them. They will eventually stay in this current speed for the next ten minutes until they reach their destination.
"Alright, I have a solution to charge the Gate Lord's Eye." Naruto's Ghost said as they were nearing their destination.
"Inform us on why we need charge the eye. Isn't it useless to us?" Naruto looked at his Ghost questioning his words.
"I thought so as well, but soon I wondered why the Queen gave us Zydron's eye instead of forging us a key, after a little research it turns that the eye is the 'key' to get us inside the Black Garden, but with it powered down, there's no way we can enter it."
"Hmm, seems legit. I'll buy it." Raider spoke through the Fireteam Comms.
"I have to agree, it does make sense for a Gate Lord's eye to be the key inside the Black Garden." Shannon spoke, she then placed a hand on her chin. "But where do we charge the eye?"
"Hold your blades Shannon I was just getting there." Naruto's Ghost inwardly smiled to himself. "Ok, so from what I've gathered, deep in the Warbase, the Cabal are sitting on a Vex Spire that connects to the Black Garden Gate. If we can free that spire, then we can charge the eye."
"Seems simple enough, we'll be done with it before anyone knows it." Naruto spoke as he readied his gear. They soon came out of jumpspeed only to gaze upon the size of Mars.
"I hope you're right. We'll be hitting the Cabal where they're the strongest, so you guys better be ready for war." Naruto's Ghost stated
"Actually, war is when two or more sides fight against large or even amounts of..."
"Oh, you know what I mean."
The Barrens, Meridian Bay, Mars
"Here we go, let's just hope we don't run into anything to dangerous on our way their."
"You wish, there isn't a single mission we did that has not caused us to meet a major enemy." Naruto lightly scoffed at this.
The three Gaurdians summoned their sparrows, hopped on, and sped across the sandy waves of Mars.
"So, you have any idea on where this Spire is at?" Naruto asked
"No clue as of now." His Ghost replied, gaining some confusion from his Fireteam. "But if we keep moving I might locate a good vantage point in order to locate the Garden's Spire."
The three Guardians took a moment to process this wondering what to say. Shrugging their shoulders, the three nodded to each other before turning their attention back to Naruto's Ghost.
"Alright, we can vouch for that as of now. Besides, it's not like we're going back home anytime soon." Shannon agreed. "Lead the way, oh wise one."
Firebase Rubicon, Meridian Bay, Mars
"Hold up, I'm detecting enemy movement up ahead. Lot's of them." Raider's Ghost stated.
"Same here, it looks like we came upon one of their secluded outposts." Shannon's Ghost agreed
"Well that's just great." Raider sighed as he, as well as his teammates, got off their Sparrows and prepared for battle. They waited for a while until their sparrows disappeared before they started to head deeper in one of the Cabals bases.
As they rounded the corner they came upon three Psions that were patrolling the outer regions of their outpost. They were soon quickly dispersed of once a barrage of bullets appeared out of nowhere, ending their lives. This apparentely alerted the Second Squadron, as well as the first which were fighting the intruders right now, Cabal that there were unwanted people around there outpost, causing them to quickly turn their attention towards the place they were currently getting attacked from.
The second squadron waited patiently until the enemy came around the corner and into their line of sights so they can annihilate them from this world. The sounds of gunfire were getting much closer, causing most of them to tense up, but they still waited. Another minute went by with numerous amounts of gunfire, some of them felt like moving up in order to assist the first squadron, some others wanted to flee from their posts, but they still waited. They waited, and waited, and waited, in the end something happened that confused them.
The gunfire stopped.
The second squadron of Cabal looked at each other confused on what just happened, they started communicating to each other wondering if the first group of Cabal in the other side took care of the dead soldiers. In the end they shrugged their shoulders and turned their attention back to the area that caused all the ruckus a moment ago. What happened next took them by surprise,
A lone Legionary came into their sights screaming in panic as it tried to get away from it's post. The second squad of Cabal looked at this scene a little closer, only to see that the Legionary didn't have it's weapon on him. That was the last thing they noticed before that Legionary was shot with a flaming bullet, turning his body into ashes in the process.
The Second Squad of Cabal jumped a little at seeing one of their own burn from existence so suddenly. They weren't prepared when they saw a Warlock exit through a hole that was ripped through space, and threw a Nova Bomb right in the center of their squadron killing all of them in the process.
"Haha, you saw the way that Legionary was running from you Shannon? As soon as you destroyed its weapon with your Golden Gun, he just knew he stand no chance. His reaction to it was priceless!" Raider laughed, earning a giggle from Shannon and Naruto also laughing a little.
"Yeah, I got to admit. That was probably one of the most fun times I had on killing an enemy from the darkness. Let's just hope I can do it again." Shannon smiled as she reeled her weapon over her shoulder and placed a hand on her hip.
"I have to agree, though it will be pretty unlikely for a second time to occur." Naruto smiled as well.
"What do you mean?"
"Never mind, lets just get out of here before anymore enemy reinforcements come by." Naruto rubbed his head. He then turned around and started to walk towards the next designated area they'll eventually be in, soon followed by the rest of his Fireteam.
Rubicon Wastes, Meridian Bay, Mars
"Hold on, there's an observation tower overhead, there's bound to be a way to locate the Spire there." Naruto's Ghost stated.
As the three Guardians exited one of the Cabals tunnels, they looked up to the right to see the tower Naruto's Ghost was referring to. Making there way towards that direction, they ended up engaging a group of Cabal that were guarding that tower.
As they fought there way up the tower they ended up running into an enemy most Guardians wouldn't want to engage, a Colossus.
The Colossus towers over almost every other Cabal of its kind. They are equipped with rapid-firing heavy weapons and nearly impenetrable armor, the Colossus is the most devastating heavy infantry unit in the Cabal order of battle, but like almost every other enemy the head of the Colossus is the most vulnerable to hit.
Once the Colossus spotted them it started to fire it's heavy slug thrower at the Fireteam with the intent to kill. The three Guardians ran from the rapid amount of bullets the Colossus was shooting at them otherwise they would be shredded to pieces from that weapon.
"God damn that is one giant motherfucker!" Raider yelled, he took his head out of cover in order to get a glimpse of the Colossus. He quickly retracted his head back into cover when the Colossus started to fire in his direction. "Holy shit that was way to close!"
"So how are we gonna get out of this mess, Naruto?" Raider continued
"I don't know. I'm thinking!" Naruto yelled from his place. "Come on Naruto. Think! Think!" He was interrupted from his thoughts once he heard the familiar sound of Shannon unleashing her Arc Blade. Looking towards her direction, he saw that she had disappeared from her position behind cover. He got up from cover in order to see if he could spot her anywhere only to be interrupted by barrages of bullets showing that the Colossus turned it's attention back to him. "Shit! Come on!"
Raider was sitting patiently in his spot as he played with his gear. He checked out his weapons, taking in it's design and structure of how it was put together, he also went through his grenade abilitys looking through how his grenades work in combat. He went through each one of his grenades until he came upon his Flash bang Grenade. He sat their for a few seconds before his mind clicked. "Oh, I forgot I still had this. Ha, my bad." Raider carelessly threw the Flash bang grenade over his shoulder towards the Colossus, having it land right in front of its feet.
The Colossus stared strangely at the silver light in front of him before it exploded, completely blinding its field of vision. The Colossus dropped it's weapon and started to rub it's helmet ferociously on the blinding light that emitted on him.
Shannon took this moment to jump on top of the Colossus and started to quickly plunge her Arc Blade right in the Colossus helmet, she stabbed its helmet a few times until it broke through and completely pierced its head ending the Colossus's life.
Naruto and Raider slowly got out of cover, only to see Shannon standing on top of the Colossus as well as directing her Ghost toward the terminal she found in the tower.
"She's awesome." Naruto slightly blushed a bit. He watched Shannon directed her attention from her Ghost towards them before she got off of the Colossus and started to walk towards them.
"Yeah, no kidding. But she can be scary too." Raider muttered toward Naruto.
"Only to you." Naruto backfired.
Raider lightly punched Naruto on the shoulder on his declaration.
"Well, don't I deserve a thank you?" Shannon spoke as she neared the two.
"Thank you for what?" Raider said.
Shannon walked up towards Naruto before she turned and leaned her back on his chest. "For saving you two."
"Sorry mam, but as you can see I had this under control. There was no need for you to act upon this situation" Raider said trying to act all intelligent, earning a faceplam from Naruto.
"Exactly, you 'had' this under control, and from my point of view you didn't really do much but sit patiently behind a metal container the entire time you two were being shot at." Shannon smirked a bit as she leaned her head on Naruto's chest causing him to wrap one arm around her waist.
Raider, seeing the mistake he made, slumped his head down. "Damn. You're so harsh at times you know."
Shannon laughed a bit at this. "What can I say, it's in my nature. So, where's that 'thank you' I'm waiting for."
Raider crossed his arms a bit not liking thanking anybody, but he didn't want to feel her wrath upon him as he first experienced it back in the tower. "Thank you."
"For?"
Raider's eyebrow twitched under his helmet "For saving my life."
Shannon smiled at this before she looked up towards Naruto. "Your turn."
Naruto smiled at this before he leaned his mouth towards the side of her ear. "How about I reward you for your effort instead of a simple thank you." He whispered
Shannon's spine shivered in excitement from his tone of voice. "Done." With that said she got off his chest before the two started walking towards the terminal Shannon's Ghost was currently hacking into.
"Hey, why didn't Naruto say thank you?!" Raider whined as he quickly followed behind.
"Oh he is gonna thank me. Just in an entirely more enjoyable way." Shannon boldly stated as she and Naruto blushed a bit under their helmets.
Raider looked at the two confusingly. "I don't get it."
Raider's Ghost inwardly smacked himself on Raider's denseness. Why, just why did his circuits have to become completely rewritten when he was revived.
"Never mind. I doubt you'll understand it." Shannon waved him off. "How the hell doesn't he know what I'm talking about but when he ends up seeing me or any other female naked, he goes into complete shock!" She thought to herself.
As the three were about to start heading up towards the terminal, Shannon's Ghosts appeared before them.
"Ah, Ghost. Did you retrieve the location of the Spire or perhaps something else that can get us closer there.?" Shannon asked.
"Well, I certainly didn't retrieve anything on your second option." Her Ghost responded. "I did manage to locate the Spire though, according to the Cabal's records it's supposed to be on the other side of their defense line. I'll show you the way." With that said, Shannon's Ghost marked waypoints the three are suppose to follow.
"Thanks Ghost, you can go now." With that said, Shannon's Ghost vanished from sight before the three summoned their sparrows and started to speed down towards the waypoint.
As they got deeper down inside the Rubicon Wastes they had to jump off their Sparrows as a barrage of missiles came towards them. From their they slid behind cover from the bullets that were being shot at them from a squad of Cabal.
Looking over from cover, Naruto saw that their were a total of three Phalanxes and two Legionaries shooting at them. A Colossus soon came out assisting its Squadron from these trespassers.
"Shit, another one of these brutes! Are you kidding me!" Naruto yelled in frustration as he tried to fire back but had to take his hands away from sight as soon as the Cabal started to fire at them. "Alright, I'm calling it. These guys are much more annoying to fight than the Vex, Hive, and the Fallen."
"No, kidding. This is just insane." Shannon agreed as she shot a few times from cover but, like Naruto, she retrieved it once they started to shoot at her hands.
"Shannon, can you turn invisible with your Arc Blade and take out that Colossus like before?" Naruto suggested.
"No, apparently I can't. My Arc Blade hasn't completely recharged yet and I doubt it will anytime soon." Shannon replied. During Shannon's explanation, Raider apparently had an idea and couldn't help but grin under his helmet before quickly leaving the battle area. "Even if I did have my Arc Blade, there's a chance that once I take out the Colossus the remaining Cabal can get the jump on me and take me out of battle for a few minutes. The same results will probably be made if I try to take out the Legionaries and Phalanxes before I can get to the Colossus."
"Well that's not good." Naruto spoke frustratingly. "Raider, how about you? Can't you use your Flash Bang to blind them for a while or something?" He sat there for a while waiting for Raiders response but it never came. He turned his head towards Raider confused on why he wouldn't answer, only to see him gone from his position behind cover. "Raider?"
He was cut off when missiles flew above him and started to blow up the Cabal one by one. Looking towards the area where the missiles were coming from, the two saw a large vehicle bigger than their own Sparrows coming towards their direction as it was firing missiles at the Cabal that were pinning them down.
"Fuck yeah!" They heard the voice of their companion, Raider, yell from the Interceptor. They watched as Raider pass them with the Interceptor, charging right into the Cabal, soon enough the squad of Cabal were annihilated from the spot from Raider's Vehicle, leaving the Colossus the only one standing between them from getting closer to the Spire.
The Colossus sent out a daring roar as it started to charge it's weapon at the Interceptor.
Raider smirked at this before he closed the hatches for the missiles and boosted the Interceptor so fast that it took the Colossus by surprise. The Colossus had to toss its mingun out of the way and use his strength to stop the Interceptor from crushing him into a pancake. The plan partially worked only causing the Colossus to back up into the corner as it struggle to keep the Interceptor from going any further on him.
Acting quickly, Raider jumped off the Interceptor and started to punch repeatedly on the Colossus's head, this apparently lead to knocking out the Colossus but he didn't stop there, no. He kept on striking its head until he was sure it wasn't breathing at all.
Once he knew the Colossus was as good as dead, he let out a sigh of relief before looking back towards the Colossus's helmet. "Never mess with a Titan." He smirked before he got off the corpse. Turning around, he saw Shannon and Naruto walking towards him. "So, don't I deserve a thank you?"
"For what?" Shannon rose an eyebrow
"For saving your life." He placed his hands, that were curled into fists, on his hips.
"Don't push it." Shannon sent a glare towards him causing his spine to shiver.
"Alright, alright. Bitch." Raider whispered the last word to himself.
Apparently Shannon heard what Raider called her but she didn't feel like hurting him right now, so instead of physically hurting him, she turned her head towards him and raised her arm up before she slowly closed her hand into a fist which were followed by a few crunches.
With that done, Shannon started to head into the Cabal's base leaving behind a slightly scared Exo.
Naruto walked up to Raider before placing a hand on his shoulder. "Well if it makes you fell any better. Thanks" He then started to follow behind Shannon.
Raider smiled a little bit before he quickly got back on the Interceptor and quickly catched up to the two. "Hey, wait up!"
As they got into the middle of the giant corridor they saw that there were more passages that they can take.
"Great, where are we suppose to go now?" Naruto asked, completely forgetting about the waypoints Shannon's Ghost set up. Apparently Raider and Shannon also forgot.
"I honestly don't know." Shannon replied as she looked around. "Raider?"
"Hmm?" Raider rubbed his chin in thought. "I say let's follow the Leo!" He immediately pointed down a corridor where the potato, Leonardo, was currently at.
Shannon and Naruto stared confusingly at the potato at the other side of the hallway both thinking the same thing. "You know what, I'm not even surprised anymore."
They watched as Raider sped towards his potato and picked it up before he started to head up the ramp. Once he was out of sight, they looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders before quickly summoning their Sparrows and followed Raider.
Iron Line, Meridian Bay, Mars
The three came upon a giant sealed door that had large metal containers blocking their Sparrows pathway.
"Shit, looks like we're going on foot." Naruto declared as he and Shannon got off their Sparrows, but Raider didn't like the idea.
"B-but, I don't want to leave the Interceptor. This machine is a beast!" Raider whined as he hugged the Interceptor.
"Well how are you gonna get this over then? We're definitely not going to take the time to move the containers if that's what you're thinking." Naruto pointed to towards the objects behind him.
"I can just squeeze through." Raider spoke confidently as he prepared the Interceptors boost.
"Uh, Raider. I don't think that's such a great idea." Shannon stated before she got out of the Interceptors way.
"Don't worry guys, I got this." Raider grinned. He closed the missile containers before he boosted the Interceptor though the containers. Well that's what he wished that happened. Apparently he did get in between the containers but in the end it got stuck. The cause for it to get stuck? Well, it's the width of the Interceptor, it's just to big to get through. "Ok, I don't got this."
Raider looked left and right as he tried to push the Interceptor forward or get it to go in reverse. After a minute of trying to get the Interceptor unstuck, he finally gave up. "Fuck it! I tried anyway." He hopped off the Interceptor before he walked over toward the sealed gate. "We still have another problem though."
Naruto glided over the large pile of mess while Shannon double jumped toward the other side. Once they set foot on the other side of the containers, they saw the problem Raider was referring to.
Walking toward the sealed gate, Naruto placed a hand on the center of it as if he was studying it. "Ghost, is there any possible way for you to unlock this Gate."
Once that question was asked, Naruto's Ghost appeared and started to inspect the Cabal's gate. "Hmm, I think I can open it up, but it might take some ti..."
He was interrupted when the gates lock started to turn in circles before opening, allowing the Guardians to have a passage inside.
"Uh, never mind. I think they just invited us in." Naruto's Ghost stared in shock a bit. Before they can respond, he vanished from sight. "Summon me when you guys need anything."
Naruto mentally nodded before he and his team started to walk inside with their weapons raised. Once all of them were inside the Gate behind them closed and locked again, much to their annoyance.
"So much for turning back now." Raider rolled his eyes.
As the three started to get near towards the middle of the room, they all noticed something. It was awfully quiet in this room. To quiet.
"This feels like a trap, I don't like this." Naruto declared as he looked left and right.
"I could say the same thing." Raider agreed.
Shannon stopped in her position as she replaced her auto rifle with the LDR on her back. Once the sniper was in her hands she kneeled and cocked it just to make sure it had ammunition inside. She stayed in her position as she watched her Captain and Raider slowly move forward.
The next thing they knew were the roars of two Legionaries as they used their jump pack to get in between them.
Raider and Naruto quickly reacted by pointing their weapons at the two Legionaries that launched themselves into the air, before they can even touch the ground their heads popped off from two loud sniper rounds, courtesy of Shannon. Once the two corpses hit the floor they heard the roars of more Cabal as they started to pile into the room one by one in an attempt to surround the Soldiers of the Light.
"Get ready guys, this is going to be a long fight." Naruto stated. The Fireteam slowly walked back to back towards each other just in time to see waves of enemys coming out from all sides.
Naruto spun the barrel from his handcannon knowing that this fight will surely take a lot out of them.
A few minutes later
The sound of footsteps were heard as Naruto and his team walked towards another sealed gate surrounded by the Cabal. But unlike any other Cabal, these ones were silent as they lie motionless on the ground. Yes, these enemy's of the Traveler were dead. Far dead than they could have ever been.
As they neared the sealed gate, Naruto's Ghost suddenly came out knowing that they're gonna need help on bypassing toward the next area if they want to complete their mission.
"Alright, I'll get to work on this door for you guys." His Ghost said as he began to hack his way through the security features in order for the gate to unlock.
Naruto just gave him a brief nod before he, and his team, turned around to make sure no enemy reinforcements will sneak up on them.
A minute passed since Naruto's Ghost began his hacking sequence until suddenly the door started to detach it's locks, signaling that its about to open. Naruto and his team turned back toward the Gate and started to head towards it, with Raider on point, as it slowly started to open up. As soon as the Gate opened wide enough for Raider to look on the other side, he came face to face with a Phalanx which was apparently waiting for the Fireteam to enter here.
Taken by surprise, Raider let out a terrified girlish scream on the sudden intrusion that, on instinct, he used his Fist of Havoc killing the three Phalanxes that tried to get the jump on them.
As soon as the door fully opened, Naruto and Shannon walked in and stared at Raider awkwardly.
"Did he just-" Naruto started
"I believe so." Shannon interrupted.
The two looked at each other before looking back a Raider. A second later they started laughing their asses off from the unexpected scream their Exo friend let out.
"S-Shut up. I was taken by surprise." Raider yelled at his teammates, a little embarrassed on his unexpected scream
"Sure you did Raider. You sure were taken by 'surprise'." Shannon said as she started to calm herself down.
"Yeah, you sure that wasn't a normal trait of yours or what." Naruto joined in.
"Fuck you guys." Raider said quite irritated before he turned and started to leave the area, not wanting to hear anymore of this 'bullshit' from his teammates. He doesn't take shit from nobody, for Travelers sake he's a Titan. Titans give the shit, not receive it.
The Legion's Keep, Meridian Bay, Mars
"W-we're getting close." Raider's Ghost chuckled a bit as he still thought about the sudden scream his Guardian let out, much to Raiders irritation.
As the Fireteam made their way out of the Iron Line, they suddenly saw light up ahead. It wasn't light from some random lightbulb though, it was light from their solar systems star, their Sun. As they finally exited the interior of one of the Cabals base, they found a small bridge on their left that connected from one point of the base to the designated area they were looking for. They saw spire they needed to recharge the Gatelord Zydron's eye.
"There's the Spire." Naruto's Ghost pointed out, he then looked at the surroundings they were currently in trying to find a safe path toward the Spire, but the only option they had was crossing the bridge in front of them. "Look's like the only way you guys can reach it is by crossing the bridge. That suspicious trap like, bridge."
"I guess we don't have a choice, that bridge is the only option we have in order to get to the Spire." Naruto flung his weapon from his shoulder and grabbed the hilt with both of his hands before looking back at his team. "Alright, let's move."
Once Raider and Shannon were ready, the three made their way towards and up the bridge where surprisingly there was no Cabal guarding it. They weren't even half way across the bridge until four Legionaries roared as they used their jetpacks to boost themselves onto the bridge, a well number of Phalanxes and Psions accompanied them as well, but it didn't stop there. A Harvester came booming from low orbit towards the bridge in order to drop more reinforcements, once the Harvester opened its hatches a Colossus dropped from the ship and slammed it's feet onto the metal platform, it then gave a threatening roar as it raised it's weapon at the three Guardians and started to shoot at them. It didn't care if their was allies in front of him that might get shredded from his weapon, it was pretty much their fault for crossing in its line of fire.
"Why the fuck do we have to fight these brutes every place we go on Mars." Shannon complained once she saw the Colossus drop down onto the end of the bridge.
Raider watched how the Colossus was purposely killing its own kind in front of it just so it can take the pleasure of killing him and his team. "Who cares, at least he's taking out some of the Cabal that are advancing on our position."
Naruto took a peek around cover and indeed saw the Colossus taking down some of its own. He then saw a Psion run next to the Colossus in order to get him to stop killing its own blood, but the Colossus quickly shut it up by using its weapon to hit the Psion off the bridge, falling to its death. "Wow, I kind of feel bad for that Psion." Naruto mumbled as he got his weapon ready. "Psh, not."
As soon as he said that, he as well his team started to counter fire them and push them back quickly in order to get off of this 'death' bridge. The sudden push back was so surprising to the Cabal that they couldn't have comprehend on what just happened, it was just so sudden, to sudden. One moment they had the Soldiers of the Light right where they want them, only for the next one to have them pushed all the way back toward the other side of the bridge. The place where they were suppose to protect from these Guardians at all cost. This was just so surprising to them, they look at the heavy backbone they had brought with them in order to change the tides of this battles, but it to was dead, the Colossus was dead. This sudden moment, this inch, this very second was something they never have expected, they never have wanted to happen. The next thing they knew at all is the sudden blackness that started to form around them as they were cast into an eternal world of slumber, in other words they cease to exist.
This was the perfect moment. The moment that the Guardians took that finally changed the tides of this battle for good. The remaining Cabal that were stationed to protect the Spire didn't even have the time to react once they saw the Soldiers of the Light come barging into their territory while wiping out the rest of them from their posts. It wasn't anything that they were prepared for, but maybe they can learn their mistakes from living like this in the next life.
As the team of Guardians came into contact where the Spire was located, they looked around only to see that this place was filled with Vex and Cabal technology. The only thing they could have thought was that the Vex and Cabal were constantly fighting for control over the Spire for a long time. The opposing sides probably fought each other in this area for days, nights, weeks, months, hell maybe even years. In the end they figured that the Cabal drove the Vex out of this place, giving them the win over this territory. That was the only logical explanation they could have thought right now.
"Wow, so is this the spire." Raider looked at the tower a little uninterested on its design.
"Apparently so." His Ghost responded
Naruto's Ghost suddenly came out and started to float around the base, looking for something to activate the Spire. It didn't take long until his Ghost found a Conduit that he can use to charge the Gatelords eye.
"Alright, you guys better be ready. When I activate the Spire, there's no telling what will happen next." Naruto's Ghost warned the three.
"Don't worry. We're ready." Naruto responded, his team nodded at his Ghost showing that they to were prepared for what's about to come.
"I have no idea what's going to happen." Naruto's Ghost let out a sigh, he then summoned the Gate lords eye before he slowly put it in between the hole that seemed like the right place to place it in. As soon as the eye entered the conduit, a bright light started to glow in between that and the Spire, blinding the Guardians for a couple second. As soon as their vision stabled, they saw a white line that was coming from the Spire toward the eye, recharging it in the process but it will take a while to fully charge.
All of a sudden they felt a rumble from a spire, looking up towards the top they saw the rectangle forms of what seemed to be Vex technology, began to break apart from the Spire. As soon as all of the rectangle forms broke away from the tower, they started to circle around another rectangle form that kind of looked like a domino piece. This was probably the spire they were looking for. It didn't take long until the forms that were circling around the Spire, and the Spire itself, began to disappear into the Gate Lords eye.
"Is that it?" Raider looked between the two Guardians "If it is, then that kind of sucked."
"I don't think, so look." Naruto pointed out towards the white line between the conduit and the tower. "The eye seems like it's not fully charged yet."
Before anybody can say anything else, the sounds of louds footsteps were heard among the three Guardians. Turning around they saw a Gate unlocking itself to let out whatever there was inside.
"Ohhh, I don't like the sound of the that." Naruto's Ghost spoke a little fearful before he vanished from sight.
"Get ready guys." Naruto sent a glare toward the large door. As soon as the door started to open wide enough, a total of four Legionaries came rushing out with someone much bigger than a Colossus, that someone seemed to be the leader that was placed to guard this Spire, Primus Sha'aull.
Primus Sha'aull is an Ultra leader of the Blind Legion, he looks like a much larger Centurion in some people's eyes. Primus Sha'aull has put his command at great risks many times before by pushing into the lands that were ruled by the Vex. As he exited out of the bunker, he slammed his chest, as if he was a Gorilla, a couple times before letting out a ferocious roar. As he was doing this much more Cabal troops started to flood into the area in order to assist their leader in battle.
"Shit, theirs to many of them." Shannon yelled, she summoned her Golden Gun and shot at a group of Cabal completely vaporizing them from existence, but that didn't change anything as more enemy reinforcements came out to replace those who fell on the battlefield. The more Cabal they killed, the more they came, but in much bigger numbers.
Primus Sha'aull looked amongst the Guardians they were currently fighting and couldn't help but scoff in dissatisfactory. He turned towards his troops and started to give orders to them on flanking the enemy, while doing this he couldn't help but think that these so called Guardians were the ones that many other alien species feared upon. Preposterous, he'll show them that they have nothing to fear from these soldiers of the light. He'll take them down himself if he has to.
It wasn't a moment sooner until Naruto heard the sound of Cabal Harvester's coming to drop much more enemy reinforcements near the vicinity. Looking towards the direction where the Harvesters were currently at, Naruto couldn't help but curse on seeing the Cabal ships were dropping off more enemy's that they hated so much for the moment, Colossuses.
"That isn't good. Guys we need to finish this now!" Naruto yelled out as he and his team were trying to push back the Cabal. After a few more kills, Naruto turned his attention to the Cabal that was leading this attack, Sha'aull. As he stared at the overgrown Centurion, he couldn't help but glare at it. This Cabal seemed to give it's troops the strength to keep fighting on, to keep pushing them back, but what if he wasn't here. What if he was dead, killed right now. Yes, that's it! The Cabal would surely retreat if Primus Sha'aull was killed, and with so many witnesses, it will just make the Cabal fear them even more. "Guys, when you can, I need you guys to focus all your firepower at Sha'aull. He seems to be the beacon of hope for these guys. If we kill him then the rest of the Cabal will surely back off."
"Yeah, that seems like a great idea when you have tons of Cabal shooting at you from all sides." Raider interjected.
"We'll take turns then. We'll cover each other while one of us use our heavy ammunition on Sha'aull." Naruto stated.
"I don't like it, but it's the best option we have right now." Shannon spoke on her behalf.
"Alright, it's settle then. Raider, you're up. Shannon and I will cover you." Naruto raised his weapon and shot some Cabal that might pose a threat to Raider's accuracy.
"Why am I going first?" Raider mumbled to himself. He took the time to get his BIG RIG XXL rocket launcher out and it's ammunition. "Shit, that's not good. Guys I only have two rockets left!"
"Well make them count!" Shannon responded as she took down a few more Cabal.
"Yeah, yeah." Raider loaded both of the rockets inside the weapon before he set it up so it was lining right in the center of Sha'aull's chest. He shot a rocket directly on Primus's chest completely taking him by surprise as he skidded back a little. "That's one!" Raider yelled out, he shot another rocket at Primus before he can stabilize his footing, the rocket then exploded right in the center of it's chest sending him tumbling back a bit. "That's two! Shannon you're up, don't let him get his footing back."
"Not planning to bud." Shannon quickly switched places and brought out her own Valedictorian 9-44 as well as its ammunition. "Well I at least have two rockets as well." She immediately loaded them up before pointing it at Primus Sha'aull.
Primus Sha'aull finally got his footing back and looked at the Guardians that were shooting rockets at him. Once he stood up, he saw a rocket come flying towards him again but this time he was prepared. He used his boost to dodge the rocket but instead of actually dodging it, he became surprised that the rocket followed him instead of going into a straight line. Yes, Shannon does have tracking on her rocket launcher.
The Rocket hit straight on it's hip, sending the Leader falling down and crushing a few of its kind. He didn't have time to react as another rocket came and hit him right on his stomach. Primus Sha'aull slowly stood up as his body was still coursed through pain on receiving that much explosive damage in such a short time.
"That's two, Naruto you're up now." Shannon quickly switched places with her boyfriend/leader.
"Alrighty then. Let's finish this." Naruto smiled before he took out a Valedictorian of his own. He then took out the ammunition and couldn't help but frown. "Guys, I only have one rocket."
"Well let's just hope this one counts." Raider replied, he killed a few more Cabal before he had to reload again.
Naruto gave a mental nod before he load the rocket in the weapon and brought it center onto Primus Sha'aull, who decided to get back up again but looked like he couldn't move as fast anymore.
Naruto pulled the trigger and watched the rocket as it flew straight towards Sha'aull. The rocket was just barely half way until a Legionary boosted up and took the hit for his leader.
"Oh come on! That was bullshit!" Naruto cursed once he saw the Legionary flew in front of his rocket. He didn't like how the one opportunity he had on killing Sha'aull had gone to waste by one of its own sacrificing itself for its leader.
Sha'aull however took it as a sign. A sign that he was meant to defeat these Guardians, to show who and what should other species should be fearing. So with the last bit of its strength, Sha'aull suddenly started to shout orders to his troops before he as well joined into the fight.
"Are you kidding me. It's like he just healed himself already.' Naruto killed a few more Cabal as he watched Sha'aull slowly advance towards them as he fired microrockets from his Projection Rifle.
The Fireteam didn't even know what to do anymore. If they shot at the Cabal then Sha'aull would start firing it's microrockets at them. If they focused on Sha'aull then the Cabal would surely back their leader up with their own weapons, but if they focused on both Sha'aull and the Cabal then they wouldn't have enough DPS for either of them.
That is until they heard three loud sniper rounds from no where, causing the entire place to fall silent. Looking at Sha'aull, they saw the leader of the Blind Legion slowly fall to it's knees before planting his entire body on the ground.
The Cabal in the area could only watch in horror as their leader was taken down. So instead of staying where they might possibly die, they fled. Some of the troops fled back into the bunker while some of them teleported out of there in fear of meeting the same fate.
"Uhh, nice shot Shannon." Naruto looked toward the female hunter.
"That wasn't me."
"What do you mean that wasn't you. You're the only one here with a sniper." Raider looked at her confusingly.
"I know I'm the only one with a sniper here but I didn't shoot any rounds in this area at all."
"Well then who did?"
"Forget about it. Whoever it was that killed Sha'aull surely saved our asses." Naruto looked between the two. He then stretched his arm out with his palm open, a second later his Ghost appeared before him.
"Is it over?" Naruto's Ghost looked around the area.
"Yeah, now can you please go get the eye." Naruto pushed his Ghost towards the general direction on where the conduit is at.
"Alright then. Just checking." Naruto's Ghost flew towards the conduit where he placed the eye moments ago. While heading their he couldn't help but look upon all the corpses that was lied throughout the area. "Sheesh, I almost feel sorry for them. Almost."
"Alright, the eye is fully charged. If you guys like we could enter the Black Garden right now and finish this." Naruto's Ghost stated.
"As much as I would like to enter that place, we still have some other things to take care of before we can enter the Vex's home." Naruto gave his opinion. His team gave a nod, agreeing on his opinion.
"Alright its settled then. Lets go finish the other two missions before we enter the Black Garden." With that said, Naruto's Ghost disappeared from view leaving the three Guardians to themselves.
Nothing but pure silence was among them, leaving them into nothing but their own thoughts.
"Ah ha" Raider softly punched his fist into the palm of his hand gaining his teams attention.
"What is it?" Shannon looked at Raider in question.
"I just figured it out." Raider smiled inside.
"Figure what out?" Naruto asked
"Why our Fireteam name of course." Raider stated gaining more attention from his team. "We'll call ourselves Fireteam Demo."
"Demo?" Shannon and Naruto simultaneously said.
"Yeah demo. Like in demolition." Raider explained.
Naruto and Shannon looked at each other before they both nodded accepting the name.
"Alright, Team Demo it is then." Naruto smiled at the thought of it.
Raider meanwhile was jumping in joy that they at least accepted this name.
It wasn't long until the newly named team started to leave toward the next mission they're about to do. As they were walking on the bridge. Naruto spotted a bright light just over a cliff from his position. He wondered if that light was always their to begin with, the light soon vanished from sight leaving him in thought if that was just some random light or was it someone. Another Guardian perhaps.
With the unknown Guardian
"Ghost get me a linkage to Cayde." A mysterious female hunter sat on a rock, speaking in a german accent. This hunter's armor consisted of the entire set of the Rustburner 1.5C and the Cloak of the Shadowsmith.
"Alright then, It's been a while since you guys spoke face to face with one another. Speaking of which, when are we gonna head back towards the tower, we haven't been home in quite a while."
"Ve vill go back home in due time Ghost. Patience is all ve need right now." The woman replied.
It wasn't long until the woman's Ghost linked comms towards Cayde.
"Ahem, hello? Cayde speaking."
"Cayde, long time no see." The woman began the conversation.
"Eva, is that you?" Cayde asked, completely surprised on hearing her again.
"Yes, it is me Cayde." The now name Eva responded
"Where are you right now? A lot of people here have been worried sick for you."
"Zhat is none of your concern,, I apologize vith my sudden absence in zhe tower but I just had so many things I had to do zhat I didn't have zhe time to inform any of you." Eva stood up before she walked toward the edge of the cliff and stared up into Mars atmosphere. "Besides, you don't have to vorry. I'm coming home."
And done.
