Pekis was waking from his slumber. His senses returning to him, the pillow his face was stuffed in was obvious to him. Turning his head to the side, the hunter allowed his nostrils to breath in fresh air. His eyes opening, he was not bothered by the light coming through the window curtains. Since Eliksni evolved to have glowing eyes they had a higher tolerance to light levels. Lifting his head, his body got a good stretch before becoming aware of the mass next to him.
Kelly was on her side, hugging her pillow. The blanket that use to cover her had been discarded off the bed, exposing the suit she wore under her armor. Still asleep, mumble words escaped her lips, her arms tightening around the pillow.
Rolling onto his back, Pekis' mandibles split open to let out a yawn. "Morning." Pekis' Ghost said, alert as always.
Sealing his mandibles shut, Pekis responded. "Morning. How was your night."
"Pretty good. I managed to beat Kelly's Ghost in 12 matches of War of Light and Dark." The ghost's tone turned less cheerful. "It was almost 13, but he manage to route my forces at Twilight gap." He materialized so he could whisper in Pekis' ear. "I think he might have cheated on that one."
It didn't work. "Hey!" Kelly's Ghost appeared. "It's not my fault you decided to move your walkers off the mountain side where they were the most effective at keeping my tanks at bay. You practically begged me to plant my artillery guns there."
Pekis' Ghost floated directly in front of his brother, their eyes only inches away. "There is no way you could have known that I moved them. Non of your forces were in visual range, and I sure didn't tell you."
"I don't need to cheat! I logged plenty of hours to know the game like the back of my shell."
"Then why don't you explain how you knew?"
"A good commander doesn't share secrets with the enemy."
"Cheater." Kelly's Ghost pushed forward, knocking Pekis' back. "Ow."
"Serves you right." Kelly's Ghost stated in a matter of fact tone. A hand grabbed him, pulling him down where he was met with Kelly deep blue eyes. "Oh."
"Why you!" Before Pekis' Ghost could retaliate, Pekis grabbed him.
"Will you stop! I don't even know what your talking about!" Pekis was angry. This was not how he wanted to start his day.
"And why did I wake up to see my Ghost hitting another Ghost." Kelly was not in the mood either. Working the kinks out of her bones, she sat up waiting to hear his excuse.
The two Ghosts shrank inside their shells. They were use to their guardians focusing their aggression on others, but to be the ones they were focused on was completely new to them, and it was scary. "We-we were talking about a Real Time Strategy warfare game called War of Light and Dark. It used to be a warfare simulation program made by the Future War Cult to experiment with using different strategies against the City's enemies until they created a more advanced version. After that, the old version was modified, and open to use by anyone, and is real popular with Ghosts."
Pekis rubbed his forehead. "Your telling me this is about a game!?"
"And where exactly does the accusation of cheating, and hitting come from?" Kelly's gaze did not light up. It was terrifyingly clear to her Ghost that she wanted the truth.
"Well, um, There might have been a glitch during the match that I took advantage of."
"A glitch?" Pekis Ghost did a diagnostic scan of the game's software from last night. It seemed there was a bug in the system that allow him to see the positions of his army even when he shouldn't. "How could I not have noticed."
"You tell me." Pekis asked. "Aren't you suppose to be the super smart ghost." His mandibles formed a slight smile. "He-he, Or maybe you really are defect." Pekis captain's helmet formed over his head before gravity took effect. "Ow!" He let his ghost go so he could toss his helmet off the bed, and rub his head in pain.
"Don't ever call a Ghost a defect!" Pekis' Ghost was pissed. It was incredibly offensive to Ghosts to say something like that. The Traveler spent its last breath create a race of highly intelligent, living constructs of light to search for those to do what it can no longer do. It poured everything it had into their creation to ensure the best possible results, and would not have settled for anything less.
"Yeah, who do you think you are!?" Kelly's Ghost transmated her helmet over him.
"Ow! alright, alright, I get it!" Pekis was getting a headache.
"Serves you right." Kelly's Ghost felt a ping of accomplishment until Kelly herself hit him against the metal bed frame. "Ow!"
"Don't do that to him! Apologize!"
"But he-"
"Now!"
The Ghost shied away in his shell as Kelly brought him to Pekis face. He was still rubbing his head, luckily his hair provided a bit of cushioning. The Ghost avoided eye contact with him for a few seconds, then stopped. "Sorry."
"Good." Kelly let him go. "Now you two make up."
Pekis gave his Ghost a stern look, telling him to do so as well. The sibling light constructs floated in front of each other, looking away from each other, only taking short glance as they tried to think of what to say. Kelly's was the first to speak. "Sorry." His voice was low, and full of shame. "It was just suppose to be a game."
"I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have taken it so seriously."
The two guardians sat back in relief. They never thought they would see what two Ghosts fight would be like. Pekis couldn't help but think, 'Over a fucking game.' "Don't you two ever sleep?"
"Not really." His Ghost told him.
"Well rather than fighting, Why don't you settle it with a rematch?"
The Ghosts stared at each other with wide eyes. "I'm Fallen this time!" Pekis' Ghost said with excitement.
"Your on!"
The two Ghost vanished, leaving their guardians alone in bed. "Glad that ended well." Kelly laid her head back on the pillow. She was still feeling drowsy, and waking up to stop a fight was not helpful.
Pekis stayed awake, knowing they had a big day ahead of them. Taking the eye out, Pekis remembered it was the key to getting the answers he needed. "The day is finally here." The hunter caressed her side.
Not opening her eyes, Kelly said "Yes it is." Pekis' hand felt good to her, even the tips of his claws grazing her. "Can you go a little lower?" Doing as she asked, Pekis shifted to her lower back. "Ohhh, That's the spot." Kelly stretched her body on reflex.
"I aim to please." scooching closer on his side, Pekis continued his movements, switching to his other hand. The sounds Kelly was making soothed him. The low, drawn-out moans followed by deep breaths. Continuing, his hand would touch the curve of her rear every now, and again, creating dirty thoughts in his head. "You know we still have a few hours before he have to go." He stopped his actions, wrapping two arms around her stomach before pressing his chest against her back. "This might be our last chance for all we know."
It plainly oblivious to Kelly what he was aiming for. She thought about saying no, the need for more sleep still presence. Then he stuffed his snout into her hair, taking in long deep sniffs of her concentrated scent. Liking what he was doing, she moved the hair covering her neck, encouraging him for skin on skin contact. Pekis took the chance, pushing his face against her skin, liking the smoothness of it as he rubbed against it. Kelly on the other hand felt the natural roughness of Fallen skin.
His skin was just a she remembered it. It wasn't bad enough to do any real damage to her, but still gave her quivers. It was a good thing he was taking it slow, wanting her to enjoy it as well. Taking it farther, he stuck his tongue out, tracing it along her delicate skin. "Ohhhhh." Kelly was liking what he was doing. His wet, blue organ leaving a trail following its path. "I suppose we do have the time." She ran her hand though his own hair, tracing it the the back of his neck. "But there is some things I need you to do."
Pekis raised his head to nibble at her earlobe . "Like?"
Turning her body around, the two were now facing each other. Kelly placed her hand on his chest, the suit he wore in between them. Clenching her fingers, she pulled on the material. "For starters. Strip!"
With a smile, Pekis jumped off the bed, and worked on her request while she did so as well. Pulling his pants down, he couldn't help, but think Kelly changed over the months. When they first met, Kelly was so nervous. Waking up to a new world, meeting an alien for the first time, heading out on life threatening missions that she never in her dreams would think about doing before. Now it was normal for her. She had confidence, and wasn't afraid to get out in the field, or punish people when-. Pekis clenched his buttocks when a certain memory resurfaced. 'Why did it have to be up my ass?'
"You done yet?" Kelly watch him while keeping herself covered with the blanket, much to his disappointment.
"One sec." Pekis dropped his shirt to the floor, then climb back in. Kelly's scary moments aside, he liked how far she come. So much, he was glad he took off his pants.
"Someone's ready." Kelly wrapped her fingers around his impressive length, stroking it, eliciting a low growl from him.
"Can't say the same for you." Pekis reached out to pull the blanket away from her, only to have his hand slapped away. "What gives?"
"It's not going to be that easy. There's still things I need from you."
"This is payback for last time isn't it?"
Kelly took her hand off him, making him sigh in disappointment. "Brains, and brawn. You almost never disappoint. Now for the second thing," Kelly uncovered her legs, exposing them, and her bare waist, "before you think of your own pleasure, it's important to think of the girl's first, So..." She moved her legs apart, "Repeat of last time."
Licking his mandibles, Pekis crawled to the other ended of the bed, having her nether regions in his face. He remember the taste his tongue touched before, as well as the scent. With one of his lower arms, he stroked himself, placating his primal urges, although the fear of a repeat in the Crucible with her did most of that job for him.
Kelly ran hot with anticipation. Remembering the fantastic job he did before, she could only imagine how well he'd do with experience. She held her breath, feeling his hot breath getting closer. "Come on. Don't make me wwaaaiiiittt!"
Pekis dipped his tongue in her, putting an end to her complaints. Her flavor was just as he remembered. He went deeper, parting his mandibles to do so, eliciting louder moaning from the warlock.
Kelly gripped the sheets tightly, the sensation of his rough, blue tongue worming its way though her soft flesh. Her body twitched, her back made an arc, all the while Pekis kept a firm grip on her thighs. His face stayed locked with her entrance, using the skin of his mandible to stimulate her clit. Kelly felt her build up come to a climax, just as Pekis could tell by the smell of her scent becoming more potent. With a long drawn out cry, Kelly's fluids discharged into his awaiting mouth.
Pekis did his best to take in a much as he could with some of it spilling on to the bed sheets. Pulling away from her, he licked his mandibles clean, and saw the look of ecstasy on her face. "So...how was it?"
Kelly needed to catch her breath. They hadn't even really started, and she was already out of breath. She could only guess at what was in store for her later. "Your not...as much of an animal...as last time." She wouldn't let him know how well he did, but she knew he already knew.
Pekis laid back down next to her, holding his head up with an arm. "Well after last time I didn't want to piss you off." The hunter clenched his buttocks again remembering.
Looking into his eyes, Kelly saw the echo of that whopping she handed him in his mind, and decide to tease him with it. She create a layer of void energy around her hand, bringing up some painful memories for him, and place it on his butt cheek, causing him to tremble at the void power touching his skin. "Well then, for the third thing..." Kelly grabbed his side with both hand, and forced him down on his stomach. "There's something I want to test."
Pekis stiffened. Spreading his arms out, Pekis wiggle his waist, doing his best to shift his erect tool into a more comfortable position, and stopped when Kelly pressed down on his lower back. "Don't move." Kelly took out a strange coin from her inventory.
Pekis' heart pumped faster. With the position her was in, he hoped she wasn't planning anything painful, or embarrassing to him. Something metallic bounced off his rear, causing him to flinch. "What was that?"
"I knew it!"
_ One Hour LaterEarth, The Last City, Tower Shooting RangeAs the morning went by, Bitsine spent her time in the lower levels of the tower. Years ago, Shaxx set up a firing range near the base of the tower to allow guardians to test out new weapons before taking them in the Crucible. The range consisted of multiply booths built along the width of the room, with the range itself using advance hard-light projection equipment to produce lifelike copies of the City's enemies for targets.
Bitsine, after paying a visit to Shaxx's weapons vendor frame, decided to head to the range to compare her new gear to what she already had. Stepping off the elevator, She followed the directional arrows that lead to the range. Soon enough, Bitsine found herself at the range's entrance. The door slide open, revealing a checkpoint for guardians to check in. "Greetings, Titian." The Frame stationed at the front said. "Welcome to the Crucible Firing Range. Please sign in."
"Okay." Bitsine filled out the check in paper the Frame handed her.
"Thank you, and I hope our facility is to your liking."
"It probably will be." The Frame pressed a button, opening the sliding door leading to the range. Stepping though, the sounds of rifles firing boomed in her audio receptors. Adjusting her ears, she walked past several occupied booths, guardians of all kinds testing new weaponry, finally stopping at vacant spot. "Lets do this." Taking a seat, Bitsine placed her Thunderlord on the table before her, giving it a once over to make sure it was working properly. "Okay Ghost, give me the Sawtooth Oscillator." The Exo held out her hand, expecting her gun of choice to appear like usual, but nothing happened. "Ghost? Ghost? Are you ignoring me, or something?"
"Oh shi-, sorry. I was distracted." Bitsine's ghost transmated the machine gun into her hand as she requested.
"Distracted, huh?" Bitsine put the Sawtooth next to the Thunderlord, wanting to compare the two. "What could possibly have you distracted? Aren't you a super intelligent, hacking robot?"
"I'm a Ghost, not a robot!" The Ghost said annoyed. "And for the record, I was in the middle of playing a R.T.S. game with Kelly, and Pekis' Ghosts. That's what distracted me."
"Jeez, touchy." Bitsine picked up the Thunderlord first. "So what should I pick first?" She scrolled down a holographic screen with a list of enemies to choose from. "Lets see: Fallen, Hive, Cabal, Vex. Were going to be hitting the Black Garden later so..."
"You have selected: Vex." The automated computer voice said. "One moment while projections construct."
"Excuse me."
Bitsine turned around on her heel, seeing an blue skinned Awoken titian standing behind her. "Can I help you?"
"You don't recognize me? My name is Avez. We met a few weeks ago when my team help your friend, Pekis, on Venus."
Gears turned in Bitsine's head, stopping when she recalled her, and Kelly's late rescue attempt. "OH, Avez! I remember now. Your Kelly's, and Pekis' friend."
Avez was glad she remembered. "Yes, your Fallen friend was in a bit of a bind when we helped him. I've never seen Fallen so determined to kill a lone guardian, or even another one of them."
"That's Pekis for you. He's such a rare guardian, everyone either wants him dead, or wants to take a picture with him."
"Vex projections materializing." The automated voice said.
Bitsine picked up her new machine gun. "Here we go."
For the next couple minutes, Bitsine experimented with the two machine guns, studying the differences of how they worked, including different modifications for both of them. Avez, wanting to talk to her more, set up in a booth next to her's, testing his new Grim Citizen III auto rifle on Cabal constructs. At the ended of the round, the "Dead" constructs faded into light blue light. the two titian set their weapons down, smoke rising from the barrels, thinking about the results. 'So the Sawtooth pack less punch, but has more rounds per mage. I'll save that for large crowds. Thunderlord, I let you have bigger targets.'
Avez pulled out the clip, checking for any leftover rounds before putting it back in. "So I hear the vanguard has put your team in charge of the Black Garden. That is a big responsibility for a team that has only more recently been put together."
Bitsine put the machine guns back in her inventory, then took out a hand cannon with vanguard markings. 'The Devil You Know. I like that name.' Hearing what Avez said, a suspicion rose in her mind. "Yeah, I suppose it is. So are you jealous that the rookies are getting the important missions?"
"No. It just makes more sense for a team of experienced guardians for something like that. No offense, but you've only been around for a few months. How did you get put in charge?"
Bitsine chuckled, saying something to her ghost.
"Her Ghost just sent me a link." Avez Ghost said.
"What link, Jade?"
Bitsine caught that. 'Jade?' Not getting distracting, she spoke. "Watch that video again, and ask yourself why again. As for Kelly, she is the only one I know capable to throwing Pekis' ass around the Crucible like a rag doll. And me..." Bitsine hit the Vex selection again, taking out her Warpath launcher this time. "I have big guns!" A trio of Minotaurs spawned first, the first to be targeted by the cocky titan.
"BITSINE, DON'T!" Avez tried to stop her, but was too late.
The light a solar missile lit up the range, catching everyone off guard, ending with a nice explosion followed by blaring alarms, and flashing lights. "WARNING: Severe structural damage to range detected. Shutting down all systems to avoid power surge."
A series of smaller explosions came soon after, damaging the power lines, and circuitry that ran beneath the floor further, the smoke triggering the fire suppression system. Columns of Pressurized Nitrogen, and Carbon Dioxide bursted from the ceiling, putting out the small individual flames. Guardians scuttled out to the range, passing by emergency tower workers, and Frames rushing in to assess the full extant of the damage.
Avez, and Bitsine were some of the last ones out, small crowds gathered to find out what all the hubbub was about. Taking their helmets off, the two titans tried to get their wits about them while alarms, and voices of people wanting to know what happen.
"What's going on?"
"Was that a bomb!?"
"Is anyone hurt?"
Bitsine could feel a headache coming on from the noise, which was weird since she technically didn't have a brain. "Okay, can someone explain to me what happened?"
"That range wasn't built to handle high-grade explosives." Avez explain, also feeling a headache. "You damaged the floor, and the circuitry under it. Didn't you read the warnings when you signed in?"
"I might have skimmed them." A loud rumbling sound rocked the tower, throwing everyone off balance. "What was that!?"
Inside the range, one of the tower workers coughed, waving his hand to fan away the cloud of dust that formed. The air cleared, revealing a newly formed hole leading to the storage room built beneath them. "The Floor collapsed!"
_ Tower Barracks"You...are just...incredible." Kelly laid completely naked on Pekis bare chest, all four arms wrapped tightly around her back as beads of sweat passed from her body to his. Her nethers ached, not fully use to the size of his girth, but still able to take him.
Pekis rested on the bed, the blankets long since been discarded, his member spent from an hour of continuous exertions. The fear he felt during Kelly's experiment with his rear replaced with new excitement when She made her fourth, and final request. "You really...should be on top more often."
Kelly delivered a kisses to his throat leading up his chin. "More often? What are you talking about? This is only the second time we've done it, and the first time I've straddled you."
Pekis held his breath. He cursed himself, confusing his time with that other hunter with the warlock currently using him a mattress. And there was no way he was going to bring that up. "You know what I mean." Pekis glided his hand up her body, cupping her chin in his fingers, and raised her head up. Their eyes locked, the fatigue overshadowed by the content they shared with each other. Pekis could feel something build up in his throat, the feelings he had for her wanting to come out, but were to scared to do so. He desperately want to finally tell her in words what she meant to him, but What if she really didn't feel the same way? Maybe this was just a fling for her? Or maybe she still had feelings for her former lover from long ago?
Pekis' train of though broke by the soft presence pressing against his mandibles. Kelly had closed the gap between their faces, extending her arm around his neck, running her fingers through his hair. The hunter beneath her had become so important to her. Being able to fill the void left by the loss of her fiance was such a relief for her. She may have been granted a second chance in life, the powers of the light, and a mission to protect what Humanity had left, but even that wasn't enough to fill everything. The warlock felt the Fallen's mouth open up, something soft, and wet seeking access to her. Obliging, Kelly's lips parted, the slippery mass pushing though, opening them more before finding its target.
The two guardians mouths wrestled for dominance. While the fight took place in the warlock's territory, the hunter had size to his advantage. Even still, Kelly did not let up. She was a strong willed woman, generally did take shit from jackasses, and was only submissive under certain circumstances, but one of those was defiantly not going to be her mouth. Pekis felt the pressure, her new offensive gaining ground, pushing him back, not to mention the taste of her mouth distracting him. He founded himself getting sidetracked, wanting to explore the rest of her, leaving him vulnerable. It wasn't until their lungs burned for air that they stopped. With a pop, they pulled apart, Pekis' tongue slipping out, grazing her nose.
They panted together, still able to taste each other. "Damn. Where'd a hung bastard like you learn to French kiss like that." Kelly rubbed the touched part of her nose.
Pekis held his breath again, but didn't last long. "I...might have read about it. I wanted to leave an impression with you." He lied.
Kelly giggled. "What ever you've been doing, keep it up. I didn't know kissing could be so fun." licking her lips, she move in for round two.
Knowing her intention, Pekis braced himself for her assault when his Ghost popped out off nowhere. "I'm receiving an urgent message from the vanguard."
The two guardians flinched at the intrusion. Kelly rolled off Pekis, their embrace broken, she grabbed one of the blankets from the floor to cover herself up. Pekis took the pillow his head rested on, and sat up, placing it on his lap. The two lovers steamed with anger. "I case it wasn't obvious, we're a little busy."
The Ghost rolled his eye. "Yes, I'm sure face fucking each other is much more important than a order by the vanguard to go see them." The sudden mouth on him. "You better get going before they send a some Frames to knock on your door."
Kelly was still angry at the interruption, but was curious about what they could want them for. "What's it about? The mission?"
The Ghost shook his body. "Bitsine's in trouble."
_ Vanguard Meeting Room"This is an outrage! What is going to be done about it!?" Arach Jalaal addressed the vanguard. The Arach was furious due to a Dead Orbit storage area suffering a sudden cave in. Many important supplies, and equipment needed to maintain the Dead Orbit fleet if need be were damage beyond repair.
The vanguard stood at their posts, Ikora being the most experienced with delegating such matters took charge of the discussion. "Jalaal, please calm down. Rest assured that the vanguard will do what we can to help replace what you lost."
"And what of her!?" Jalaal pointed to the titian responsible. Bitsine stood on the sidelines, her arms folded, and head down in shame. "This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable! What are you going to do about it!?"
"Rest assured, Jalaal," Zavala started, "Once she, and her fire team have completed their current mission, she will be given the responsibility of helping Dead Orbit with for a time."
"And what of my range?" Shaxx was also present, the news of one of his ranges being damaged did not sit well. "If she's going to be assisting Dead Orbit, then I want her help with the repairs."
Zavala thought about it for a moment. "Very well. Bitsine, you assist Shaxx's workers in the range's repairs first before being assigned to Dead Orbit."
"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa! Hold up!" Bitsine cut in, catching everyone's attention. "If you want me to fix the range I blew up, fine. But their is no way I gonna help those fucking cowards run away!" She declared, pointing to the Arach, him having a offended look on his face.
"This is not up for dis-" Jalaal was cut off.
"Fuck you! You want to abandon everything on this planet, then you get off your ass, get in a ship, and get lost. You spend most of your time standing in a hanger corner going on, and on about how "all is lost", and we need to leave this "dead planet", and trying to get others to follow your crap, yet during that time you could just beat it, and be done with the whole thing. Or maybe your just to scared to try, and find out what's waiting outside the system. I on other the hand, am going to say on this "dead planet", helping my team kill an evil heart, then I gonna go back to crushing Fallen limbs in my hands until they start scavenging Golden Age ruins for spare body parts, and during that time you can take your run, and hide philosophy, and SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS! " Bitsine finished, the whole room standing silent at her speech.
Jalaal was at a complete loss for words. Shaxx, and other like-minded guardians, and personnel, including Zavala, looked to her with respect for her courage, and determination.
Cayde whispered to his Ghost, "Please tell me you recorded that."
"You think I wouldn't? It's already going into circulation on the net." The video would soon convince many citizens, and guardians thinking about supporting Dead Orbit to reconsider.
Bitsine looked around, noticing the whole room was dead quite. The silence ended by the sound of clapping coming from the entrance. Kelly, and Pekis showed up just it time to hear her outstanding words. Pekis clapped with both pairs of hands while Kelly was putting the finishing touches on fixing her hair. "That...was...beautiful. I couldn't put it better myself."
Pekis' applaud gain momentum as others joined him, the sounds of cheering the only thing coming from the room. Bitsine felt a sudden sense of pride. She never thought she could ever get a reaction like that from anyone.
When things quiet down, Jalaal, feeling defeated, made his way to the exit, stopping in front of the Fallen hunter looking down on him. "I should have expected something like this from a guardian that associate with one of your kind. You scavengers are one of the main reasons our world is lost."
Pekis stepped to the side, letting him past. "Well my people are the ones that are usually getting massacred on a daily basis by us. You don't see them running away now do you, bitch. So go do what you do best."
Jalaal left, most of the workers in the room resuming their duties. Having of just arrive, Kelly, and Pekis were still in the dark about what all that was about. "So can someone please explain to us what is going on. We kinda have something important to do." Kelly asked.
Ikora, still recollecting her thought, responded. "Yes, the reason we summoned you here is because your teammate, Bitsine, has caused significant structural damage."
"Structural damage?" Pekis rubbed his forehead. "Bitsine, what did you do?"
"She used a rocket launcher in my firing range, even though it was clearly stated in the bylaws that the use of explosive weaponry is strictly prohibited." Shaxx said, only glancing at the hunter every now, and again. He still did not fully trust the Fallen, and given his own history with them, it would be a bit awkward to him.
"In my defense, guys, I did read the rules when I went in. I just skimmed through them." Bitsine returned to her former pre-speech posture.
"Same here." Cayde said, knowing how she felt. "I just get so bored having to read though all those things. Especially when I have to sit here all day, going though these reports. just the same thing over, and over-"
"Cayde!" Zavala cut him off, annoyed by his behavior. "You are a member of the vanguard. You must take your responsibilities seriously."
"Easy for you to say." Cayde retorted. "Your a titian. Standing around the wall all the time is suppose to be your thing."
"Excuse me?" Bitsine said.
"Not you! Your one of those cool, go beyond the wall, and smash the enemy kind of titian. I'm saying that I'm a hunter, and I need to move around."
"Getting back on topic." Ikora wanted to move the conversation along. "We have decided that once your mission to the Black Garden, she will be assigned to helping repair the damage. Bitsine, was originally also going to be helping Dead Orbit, but it seems she has no intention of doing so whatsoever."
"Damn right I don't."
"So she will be unavailable for future missions for a few weeks."
"Very well then." Pekis said. "As long as she can still help with the garden that's fine."
"Easy for you to say." Bitsine rejoined her friends.
The discussion over, Shaxx walked passed them, letting them know. "Light be with you, guardians." If Pekis' team could destroy the heart then maybe he is a Fallen to be trusted.
The trio themselves took their leave, ready to set off on their journey, knowing that everything they cared about could be in the balance. And Pekis would finally Remember.
On the way out, many people who had already watch Cayde's posted video recognized Bitsine.
"Yeah, you tell those wusses."
"Screw running, fight to the end."
While other would say.
"Your suicide to think we can win."
"Our only chance is to flee."
Pekis found the whole thing amusing. "Look like your wrapping up a mix fan base. We got a new thing in common." Pekis recalled his own troubles with fame.
"Hopefully I don't have to worry about assassinations like you do. Though I doubt the Fallen are ever going to hear about it."
Pekis remember something she said in the last part of her speech. "Yeah, about that. When you said your going to start crushing my people's limbs left, and right. That excludes me right?"
"IT BETTER!" Kelly stepped right in front of Bitsine, stopping the group. "If you even think of laying a finger on him like that, I'm going to do to you what I did to him! No kicks the crap out of him except me, and that's only when he deserves it!"
Pekis back away, remembering what she was talking about. Bitsine took a step back seeing the seriousness in her eyes. "Of course I'm not talking about him, Jeez. I like him, and I got his back no matter what."
Kelly calmed down. "Okay, thank you." The warlock hugged the titian. "I'm glad me, and him have you for a friend." She let go. "Now let's get going." Kelly took off towards the hanger where their ships waited, leaving the two to catch up to her.
"Damn." Bitsine started, "I is shocking how scary she can be."
"Yeah, trust me you do not want to be on the receiving end of her wrath." Pekis rubbed his face, think back to how hard she slapped him before. "But honestly, I like that about her. She's tough."
"As long as she focuses that on our enemy, am I right?" Bitsine clenched her fist, holding it out to him.
Pekis simply stared at her armored hand, unsure what it meant. "What?"
Bitsine sighed. "Hold out your hand, and make a fist." Pekis did as she asked. Bitsine grabbed the large hand by the wrist, and connected his knuckles to her own. "It's called a fist bump."
