I do not own Destiny or Percy Jackson, I only own my OCs.
"Well hello readers welcome back!" Slim Prime expressed happily. "I am happy to see you all."
"Oh dude check out this one." One of the other crew members murmured to another nearby the back of the bridge.
"Oh, that's nice." The other replied.
Slim facepalm. "Would you guys stop trading Smut on the bridge! You have rooms you know! Use them!"
Slim sighed. "Other than telling you guys about the Poll on the Profile page, By the way Noble Six is really winning this thing, I don't have much else to tell you guys. So let's just get to those guest reviews shall we?"
Guest 1: This who
Somerandomperson: I don't know about that one, but if you can point me to the lore that can change.
Guest 2: I am just taking some time to do it!
Guest 3: Here is your more!
Now the story!
Cosmodrome, Old Russia: The Second Age of Darkness
The cosmodrome, a relic of the Golden Age and a graveyard to many humans and machines alike. Since the years of Oryx's fall and The Red War, the Fallen House of Devils had been driven out of the area. Now only houseless fallen scavenged the remnants of the graveyard.
However, in a certain control room a hooded figure moved through the building looking for something. Standing tall with a frame remarkably similar to that of a titan, with a cloak and dark green mist coming out from under the cloth. Long spiked horns protruded out of the base of the hood as the figure glanced around
An armored hand reached out to feel the remnants of a dark evil floating around the control room. Using his own energy, the dark remnants began to form and were drawn towards the hooded figure. The energy began to take color, a dark space like color similar to that of the taken.
Suddenly the sound of a rocket drew the figure's attention just in time to see a rocket mere feet away from him. The rocket hit its mark detonating in a flash of void light and sending the hooded figure flying into the wall on the other side of the room.
On the other side of the room a famous titan stepped into the light, silver armor with spots of purple and a golden accent. A shotgun magnetically attached to his back and void light around his fist. The figure instantly recognized the legendary guardian coming out of the shadows.
The Exo Titan, Saint-14.
The Exo regarded the figure with disdain before drawing a hand cannon from his inventory and aiming the weapon at the figure. However, before he could fire the figure turned into a black cloud before reappearing in front of the titan.
The figure sent an armored fist into the titan's gut, staggering the titan. It followed up with a quick punch to the titan's helmet, then brought both his fists down on the titan forcing him to one knee. Saint in return sent his own fist into the figure's knee causing him to fall to one knee. The titan switched his light focus to Arc as he sent his other fist into the figure's chin. Using his body to help with the power of the punch sent both fighters into the air.
Saint charged his Arc light into his body, shooting him forward and into the figure. His Arc charged fist slamming into its torso. Both Saint and the creature were thrown into the concrete floor, the impact creating a large indent in the floor. Saint stood up and grabbed its legs then tossed it towards a nearby wall. Once more the figure slammed into the wall, the force pushing into the wall. Before it could recover it found Saint once again on top of it throwing another Arc charged fist at him.
The sound of the thunderclap created from Saint's fist slamming into the creature shattered any window within the sizable room. While the impact pushed the creature further into the wall, shattering it and sending the creature flying back. Saint continued his assault, sprinting at the creature with the speed and fury of a rampaging dragon.
Just as the creature was about to hit the ground, it recovered performing a somersault to land back on its feet. Just as it was getting to its feet, its arms began to freeze. The figure threw his arms up allowing a few ice shards to shoot from his hands. All six ice shards hit their mark, encasing the titan in ice in an instant.
The creature grabbed the frozen titan and threw him into a nearby pillar. The impact broke the titan out of his icy prison, however he remained stuck in the concrete pillar. The creature closed the distance and began to throw devastating punches into the stuck titan, each punch pushing Saint further into the pillar as sparks of static and electricity danced from the figures fist into the titan. As each hit came, the pillar began to weaken until it became weak enough for the titan to break free under the creature's attacks.
Saint pulled out one of his arms allowing him to catch the fist of the creature attacking him. His other arm soon came free allowing him to catch its other fist. With a flick of his back muscle Saint freed himself from the pillar. With Saint free and both his hands full he restored to his other weapon of death, his head.
Saint headbutted the creature, stunning him and allowing the titan to throw his fist into the creature's elbow, bending it in the opposite direction arms were meant to be bent. Side stepping the titan used the creature's arm to throw it into the already heavily damaged pillar destroying it in the process. Saint tossed a flashbang at the creature. The grenade went off sending the still recovering creature a few feet away.
There was a flash of white light as the creatures' still functional arm glowed. Three taken cabal appeared as the creature landed on its feet. The creature's arm violently snapped going back in place. It grunted in pain as the bones realigned themselves. Once its arm was set again a hand cannon happened in its hand. A Hand Cannon Saint knew.
It was a deadly weapon few would dare to have in their care. Thorn, the cursed weapon glow with hunger. The creature lined up his shot, before his weapon cracked to life. Saint dived into cover drawing his own weapon as he went. As soon as he was ready Saint popped up from his cover and returned fire with his own weapon, an Auto rifle he had built himself.
The rounds from the auto rifle stuck the creature's body, its shield flicking to life as the bullets hit their mark. Seeing its disadvantage, the creature ran for cover while Saint fired at it all the way. Before it reached its cover, its shields failed allowing Saint's bullets to strike at its body unimpeded. The creature growled in pain as the deadly rounds thumped against his armor, however it managed to reach cover before its armor gave way to the onslaught.
Saint jumped up from his cover and began to reposition himself to flank his target. Just as the titan was coming around he found that his target was gone. Suddenly the sound of the hand cannon's hammer being pulled reached his audio receptors. Acting on instinct Saint threw a back kick, he made sure to level his kick with his opponent's arm position. However he found something had caught his leg.
Suddenly his leg was pulled up from under him causing the titan to fall so that his head was now resting on the floor while the rest of his body was suspended in the air. He turned his head just in time to see an armored boot coming down on his face. The impact cracked the ground around them and Saint's head was pushed inward. The only thing keeping his head from becoming flat by the impact was his helmet and titan body.
He ordered his ghost to summon Perfect Paradox into his hand. As the weapon appeared, he aimed it at the creature's torsos and pulled the trigger. The blast from the shogun pushed the creature back and the second pierced its armor sending void energy infused bullets into its body.
Like a deadly poison the void energy weakened it causing the creature to fall to its hands and knees. The darkness in its body began to fight off the void energy but it would take time for it to recover.
Meanwhile Saint-14 was pulling his head out of the ground, a foot shaped dent in the side of his helmet. Saint pumped his shotgun twice expelling the two spent shells. Seeing the weakened creature on the ground, Saint switched his Light focus back to Void and summoned his sentinel shield then approached the creature.
The titan walked up the downed creature and back handed it with his shield. The blow sent the creature flying through multiple walls before stopping at the seventh. Saint walked after the creature now slummed up beside the last wall it hit with its head slumped down.
"You were among the strongest of us!" Saint-14 declared angrily and smashed through the lower half of the wall he threw the creature through. "You were the savior of the city, and killer of gods! We all looked up to you! Zavala, Cayde, Ikora, Shaxx, Osiris, the whole Traveler damned city looked up to YOU!"
Saint smashed through the second wall.
"And what did you do!? You betrayed us all! Do you know how many have died because of you!? After everything we have done! You have done! You send us back to where we started! You have opened the door to a second Age of Darkness! All for what?!"
The titan smashed through the third wall.
"A fallen comrade?! You dishonor her memory by your actions!" Saint rolled spinning and sending a copy of his sentinel shield flying at the former guardian.
As the shield neared its target it suddenly came to a stop and began to freeze over. The former guardian's fist was outlined in a fist of ice, holding onto the shield. The former guardian closed his icy fist shattering the iced over shield taking the shield itself with it. A thin layer of ice began to cover the former guardian as he stood back up.
"At least she would be alive." He said as the ice slowly increased his body. Saint sent his fist and ran towards the offending figure. Smashing through walls as he went before reading a shield bash. The fallen guardian met his attack with his icy fist, the two clashing with each other Light and Darkness.
"All the Traveler ever was is a crutch." He began while the two tried to overpower the other. "During the Red War when we could finally die, I had never felt more alive, Nore have I ever seen a stronger humanity and that had grown even after" He said as he stepped forward against a light upper hand over the EXO. "I have freed humanity from what once held it back, I have seen what truly makes up the Taken and the Hive, and I am Almost over Joyed. The rule of the Sword the strong survive. We are the strong and the Traveler was what made us weak!"
The fallen guardian continued to overpower Saint.
"She thought the same, She saw what needed to happen. And what did she get, She was abandoned, kicked out, scorned by all, even me." he said barely above a whisper.
Seeing the opportunity and the lapse of his opponent. The titan side stepped causing the fallen Guardian to stumble forward. With the fallen Guardian off balance Saint threw his shield into his legs knocking him off its feet and onto his back. Saint then used his shield's side and threw it into the guardian's torso. The impact dented the fallen guardian's armor.
In response the Fallen Guardian used his super's ability to freeze Saint before getting back up and punching him. The attack broke Saint out of the ice and sent him flying back landing on his back before he managed to get back up slowly.
"The darkness fills your head with lies and half-truths." Saint retorted breathing heavily. "What would have become of humanity if it had not been touched by the Traveler's light? Look what had become of the Cabal and the Hive, and those who worship the darkness. There is no middle ground in this war, only light and dark. We may be down but when I walked the city, I saw children smiling, singing songs, and playing with one another. Following the light is not an easy path our lives have shown me that, but it is a path that leads to create things."
The Air around the Being started to distort as Taken rifts started to form.
"I grow tired of you Saint, we have talked enough." The sound of Taken appearing was known but these were different, they wore the armor of humans and guardians alike, "I hope you will be able to forgive me, but I know that you never will. You have always been what your namesake names you. Saints will always fight demons, there is no changing that."
The fallen guardian began to power his power into his super causing the room to freeze over. The taken creatures unaffected by the power flowing in the room.
"This fight isn't over." Saint replied, raising a finger to the side of his helmet.
The windows on the fire side of the room shattered as bullets flew through them. In a few moments the taken were all but slain under the intense fire.
"I have learned from my time in the Infinite Forest." Saint grinned as more guardians entered the room.
The Fallen Guardian grimaced under his helmet; he knew he could not take all of them by himself.
"There is only one place for you to go." Saint declared knowing that the fallen Guardian was thinking. He took out a device that was Vex-like in shape and look. "This will keep you contained, there is no escape."
That did not dissuade the fallen guardian, as he began to conjure a taken rift for himself. Seeing this Saint threw the device at the fallen guardian. The taken rift took shape just as the device hit the ground, causing both the rift and the device to pull on the fallen guardian. However, despite the pull the fallen guardian was still managing to move towards the rift.
Seeing this Saint make a choice. He ran towards the fallen guardian and tackled him into the device.
Long Island, New York: Twenty First Century
High in the sky above a certain camp two beings appeared out of a white light. Even as gravity did its job and pulled the two towards the ground they fought on as if they were on the ground. Throwing punches, blocks, and kicks. Just as the two were about to hit the ground they both activated their own lift ability causing them to slow down to a point where they could gently touch the ground.
The two pushed off from one another before running back to each other. Saint Scored the first true hit sending the fallen guardian flying into a marble building looking like a mausoleum, with heavy columns. The fallen guardian smashed through the large, polished bronze double doors with a crash, before exiting out the back wall.
Moments later the fallen guardian came back out the double doors, kicking off what was left of the door. The two closed the distance again, this time the fallen guardian scoring a true hit sending Saint into a poorly painted red cabin looking building that looked like it was getting ready for war. Saint "entered" the cabin through the side of the building, moments later the titan exited through the front door before closing it again. A part of the cabin collapsed as he exited it.
The two warriors began using their weapons starting with their lighter weapons and working their way into their heavy weapons. One of the other buildings suffered a hit from a stray rocket that Saint had kicked out of the way. Said building was covered in flowers and dirt, however now it was but a pile of dirt greenery and wood.
The fighting soon escalated into light and dark abilities. Patches of ice began to gather in the fighting area along with scorch marks from Void Light. As the fight intensified the inhabitants of the area started to show themselves. Kids ranging in age from seven to thirteen, all of them wearing the same orange t-shirt with the words Camp Half-Blood underneath an image of a Pegasus.
The two warriors looked at the kids around them, most of them being armed with bronze looking weapons. None of them were a threat to the two risen but would get in the way. A taken rift began to form behind the fallen guardian.
"Next time Saint." He declared disappearing into the rift.
By the time Saint brought his weapon to bear the fallen Guardian was already gone. He was about to regard the children around him when his Ghost, Geppetto, told him to get to a safe location. While Saint wanted to make sure the children were ok, if his ghost said he needed to get somewhere safe meant that he had something to say.
Saint summoned his sparrow and took off in a seemingly random direction away from all the buildings in this place. Some of the children tried to chase after him but on his sparrow there was no way they would catch him.
The guardian made his way out of the area coming across a road soon after. Seeing that as the fastest way to leave the camp behind he took it. As soon as he got far enough away, he pulled over and summoned his ghost to his hand.
"What is wrong Geppetto, why did you have me flee from there?" Saint asked his ghost.
"I believe the container and the taken rift might have caused some form of feedback. When you tackled him into the container we were transported to some other location. I have been scanning comm frequencies since we landed here. According to the time stamps we have arrived in the twenty-first century." She replied to her guardian.
Saint processed his ghost's words for a moment. "Is there any way for us to return to the present?"
"On our own? No. However I am picking up a Vanguard frequency, it's on the low bands but it's there. All its giving is a set of coordinates… the Last City's coordinates."
"The Last City has not been founded yet, nor that of the Vanguard." Saint reasoned.
"Other guardians that have been stranded here?"
"Maybe, but it's a start." Saint answered getting back on his Sparrow and racing off towards The location of the Last City.
Near Site 6, Plaguelands: Age of Iron
Felwinter shot another one of his "father's" frames, but another quickly took its place. They would not stop coming until he was dead or captured. The Exo warlock changed his Void Light into his hand before he tossed the Light at the frames turning a group of them into nothing.
As of now he was being backed into a correr by the sheer number of frames being thrown at him, as if three Golden Age frame factories had been dedicated to producing frames to throw his way. He had already killed a few thousand frames and a few clusters of SIVA. However, they were now pushing him further into a cave he had used to recover his shields. The EXO knew that it was only a matter of time before he was backed into a corner.
In fact the end of the cave was in sight causing the EXO to growl in annoyance. His ghost informed him that there was a type of Vex looking gate towards the back of the cave. Seeing as it was the only way from him to get out he ordered his ghost to get it working. Felspring flew over to the Vex gate and began to access it.
Just as she began accessing it she found that the Warmind had begun to try and interfere with the gate. She attempted to fight off the Warmind, alas the Warmind was making better progress then she was. Seeing as she knew she could not beat the Warmind, Felspring opted to get the gate working before the Warmind could turn off or redirect the signal.
Soon the gate began to spark and a Vex portal soon came to life. Seeing the portal online, Felspring called her guardian. The Warlock turned and ran towards the gate jumping through it without a second thought.
Mountain Range, Russia: Twenty First Century
When Felwinter next opened his optics he found himself looking up at the cave's ceiling. He slowly got up and looked around. This was not the same cave he was in a moment ago, yet it was. It was… younger, the vex gate was also missing. Even so he needed to regroup with the other Iron Lords.
"Felpring, where are we?" Felwinter asked walking out of the cave.
'Checking… odd.' Felspring replied after a moment. 'I am picking up a lot of signals, none of them Risen or Fallen in nature. They're all… human… I do believe we had fallen back in time.'
"Back in time." Felwinter repeated thinking over the matter in his head. "How far back, we need to regroup with the Iron Lords."
'Impossible at this time, we would have to wait for some time. Given that we are in the Twenty First Century, well before the Golden Age. Even with another Vex gate I only managed to turn one on not calibrate it.' Felspring answered cursing the Warmind for messing with her work to herself.
"Before the Golden Age." Felwinter repeated again, an idea began to spring to mind. "Then there's something we can do."
Felwinter summoned his sparrow and took off into the snowy lands around him. If he was this far back in time then he might as well set humanity on a petter path than what it was intended. Even if some would call him cynic at the end of the day he did believe in the Iron Lord's cause, humanity needed to be ready for the darkness to come. At least with him here he would be able to change some events from happening.
'Felspring, find me a comm hub. I need to know how humanity operates in this time period.'
'Marked on your HUD.'
One way or another humanity would be ready.
Prison of Elders, The Reef : New Golden Age
Cayde-6 was not having the best day. He was alone, outnumbered, and damaged. He knew all the Fallen around him, he put them in the Prison of Elders to begin with. Now they were making a brake for it and he was going to stop them while looking very stylish at the same time. He had planned on doing it by himself but he saw one of his favorite guardians hanging around the tower with nothing to do so he invited him along.
They had split up when they had arrived but he knew the guardian could handle himself so he was not worried about him. He had planned on going to find the guardian once he had dealt with the escapes, wait for one of the inmates to sneak up on him and kill said inmate then immediately claim that he said their life. But now… now things were not looking so good. Traviler he would not complain if he got some back up right about now.
His ghost, Sundance, insisted on coming out of his inventory to speed up the repairs. Something he agreed to, seeing as he wasn't looking too good.
As soon as his ghost appeared in his hand, he immediately regretted his decision. From the corner of his optics he saw Pirrha aiming his weapon at his ghost. He knew that the fallen carried a weapon that could kill ghosts. He was about to force his ghost back into its inventory when he saw Pirrha pull the trigger.
He knew that the beam would hit his ghost before she could get back into his inventory. He knew what it meant to lose his ghost. No revile, no coming back, no second chances, the finale death. He had mad respect for those guardians who lost their ghost and still joined partos and took Vanguard missions. However they were barred from taking missions on their own, a cripple among god-killers.
As of this moment he would be joining their ranks at best, and the likely scenario his final death.
He watched helplessly as the sniper fired its shot, the beam just starting to come out of the barrel.
Just then the whole area shook as a Large Vex busted through the wall behind Pirrha. The Fallen jerked his rifle as he turned to see the Vex coming out the wall behind him. The purple beam came out of his weapon and raced down towards his ghost, but as luck would have it the Vex had caused enough of a ruckus throw of Pirrha's aim just enough for the beam to only graze Sundance.
Cayde dived into cover as the other Barons turned to face the incoming Vex. Every one of them having a Vex of equal size or even bigger attacking them. However, the Exo was not out of the woods yet as he had someone jumping down on him.
He rolled out of the way, throwing a knife at his incoming attacker as he did. The attacker caught the blade before drawing a weapon and shooting Cayde's Ace of Spades out of his hands. With his weapon gone and his shield's still down, the EXO was forced to do the one thing he hated the most.
Retreat.
Fortunately kept a souvenir with him from the Red War on his person. A bronze color disce appeared in his hands, before he threw it to the ground next to him. As soon as it hit the ground the dise opened up and a Vex portal opened up. Wasting no time Cayde dived through the portal, leaving his hand cannon behind.
The awoken that attacked him picked up the Hunter's hand cannon. He looked at the Vex device for a moment before he shot it and kicked away the now broken tech. He may have not killed his prey but he would be out of his hair for a time. The awoken took noise of the reports coming in that another guardian was quickly closing in on the area.
With a growl he ordered his barons to fall back.
When Cayde's friend arrived he found nothing left of the Vanguard hunter.
Forest, Ohio: Twenty First Century
Cayde had no idea how long he was stuck in that portal but when he finally fell out. The hunter unceremoniously fell on his butt, causing the EXO to grunt at the impact. Even with his damaged body, he still managed to get to his feet as if he was fine.
"Hugh, now how about that heal." Cayde said, calling up his ghost to his hand.
His ghost appeared in his hand and immediately set to work putting the EXO back to gather. Normally the process would take a few hours and with the right facilities but with the light and his ghost, Cayde was fully repaired and looking like his normal self in moments. The EXO looked around noticing the greenery and very un-Reef like life.
"Ha, Vex tech for yeah." He said to himself. "Sundance call over our ship and get us back to the Reef. I have some not so friendly words to share with that awoken."
"Yeah that's not happening chief." Sundance said opening up her shell to get a better signal.
"No no, I am not stopping back at the Tower just to have Zavala tell me to let it go and to get back to work. I have been standing around in the Tower for ages, I need to do something." Cayde quickly countered looking around for his hand cannon. "And I want my stuff back."
"I agree with you but I can't."
"And why's that? Zavala already bombaring my inbox?"
"No, as our jumpship is not responding and the whole area is crammed with signals. We have been set back in time judging by the singles timestamps. Twenty First Century, was it always this boring?"
Cayde stared at his ghost for a moment before clapping his hands together. "Alright game plan…"
The Hunter Vanguard stood there for a moment, his ghost staring at him.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"... Yea I got nothing. Hey do me a favor and find the nearest ramen shop, we will go there and I can pretend to think while i'm eating. Then maybe I'll sleep for a little bit."
"Or we can check out this Vanguard signal signal I just found." Sundance suggested.
"Ok… after the ramen though." Cayde countered smiling like a child, a robotic killing machine child.
"Marking on your HUD." Sundance agreed.
"WHOO, Pre-Golden Age ramen here I come!" Cayde declared summoning his sparrow and shooting off into the forest.
When I arrived at the area where Orion was standing I could hardly believe my eye and Vex eye. The kids around us might not have been able to see if given how far they could see but, to us guardians we could see who was coming towards us. It first appeared on radar speeding towards with such unslowing speed that only a sparrow could manage.
As it turned out it was a sparrow racing towards us.
But it was who was riding it who gave us three pause.
As the sparrow closed in on us the children were about to make out that it was as they saw us riding our own sparrows from time to time. Olivia came up beside me looking at the incoming warrior.
"Who is that?" She asked.
I smiled, and thanked the Traveler for sending another one of its warriors to join us.
The sparrow slowed and turned to its side to help slow it down.
A white boot stepped down from the sparrow followed by another, however this boot had a black line running up the rest of the armor. To one side was white while the other side held orange. The line continued up the armor covering right at his chest. There was a bone necklace around his neck that came down to the center of his chest. His shoulder guards had a type of fur attached to them, around the back side of his neck was the same type of fur.
As he stood his hands closed into fists and came to a rest on his hips. He looked over to the children and teens before him then to the rest of us Guardians.
"That Olivia, is one of the strongest titans I know."
"I see a lot of raw talent here!" The Titan declared. "But can it handle The Crucible?"
Lord Shaxx.
"Technically it's not a cliffhanger. Don't look at me like that."
"SO these are the four guardians that will be joining the story. Thank you to those of you that made those suggestions, the crew and I talked about them for a while before settingling on the ones we got. Funny how all but one of them are EXOs right!"
"Anyways I am Slim A Lou prime with the crew! God Bless and get ready to batten down the catches boys this next few years will be a doozy."
