Welp, it's gotten to the point that I have decided to make a story on a widely popular topic...Destiny, yay. Before I begin this story, do know that the main character will be an OC, mainly the guardian I have created. The reason for that is simple.
1. More unique and creative interactions between characters
2. I don't have to follow around the main plot of the show and bounce around here and there
With that out of the way, let's begin.
Overlooking a large vibrant city was a small office, a man sighed as he looked out of the large window. It was unknown to him how many times he had seen the last city during the night, but he always felt a wave of nostalgia looking out his office window.
"Commander, fireteam gold has returned"
"Send them in"
The sound of a mechanical door opened, turning around Zavala saw a large man enter. He nodded at him and he removed his helmet. There he saw the golden, metallic face of one of his titans, an exo to be precise. His glowing orange eyes and two white horns looked at the commander.
"It's good to see you again BP"
"Commander, you've known me long enough. Ballistic is fine"
"Or should I call you Panda? That is what I hear your brother call you"
Zavala chuckled at the titans expression "I see"
"Anyways, how did your mission go?"
"Well, it went as you one could expect. Hive has been setting up shop in a rampant new light zone. When I arrived I had to command some blueberries. Of course Caitle's cabal helped, but I think they wanted to kill the hive more than actually help"
"And what about the new lights?"
"All of them made it. I do have some bad news though"
Zavala's face darkened "And what might that be?"
"Majority of the blueberries seem to like the idea of being a hunter. Of course Ikora also has gotten a handful of berries herself"
"Well then, that just means we have to work twice as hard for this years guardian games"
"Anyways that's all I have to report for"
Zavala nodded and saw the titan leave "Panda"
"Yes Commander"
"Be prepared for another mission"
"You got it commander"
With that the doors closed, Zavala turned to his computer. He was ready to call it a day when he received a message from shaxx. An audio message. Pressing play he decided to hear what it was all about.
"Zavala! Can you believe how many new lights are signing up to be hunters?! This is absolutely preposterous! I think we need to start doing more propaganda, maybe print out leaflets to have Titans back on the board!"
The commander chuckled at the crucible handlers message, however his message did have some merit. Maybe a mascot wouldn't seem so bad.
BP yelped as he woke up, shaking his head he looked around his room.
"Finally your awake, jeez you titans sure like to imitate a bag of bricks while you sleep" a feminine voice
BP looked down and saw a small glow next to him. A small ghost, his ghost. It's shell was one that looked like a vex harpy, it was painted gold with black.
"Morning to you too sparky"
"Hey, that's Lady Spark's to you"
"Whatever"
Standing up BP changed out of his night clothes into his armor. Walking out of his dorm he made his way towards the hangar. He stopped as one of the doors next him opened and from it a fuming warlock.
"Morning Rhyno"
"Morning Panda"
"Trials?"
"Trials"
"Later"
Walking away he heard Sparky appear next to him "Very chattery this morning, huh?"
"Let me get some coffee, then I'll be back to my normal self"
"You suck you know that?"
"I know"
Entering the hangar he groaned, looking at the line in front of him he could only weep to himself.
"So no coffee?"
"Not so fast Sparks"
BP turned his head, there he saw another titan. His helmet was removed and he saw a red and black head, with a black plate on his forehead.
"Brother"
"Brother"
"Brother I thirst"
With that the other exo gave BP his fix of coffee. The two looked up at each other and snickered at their small interaction.
"Why did we get stuck with the two idiots?" a feminine voice asked, from behind the exo's shoulder appeared another ghost. She had her bottom and top fins longer than her side fins.
"Ask the traveller"
"Now, now Luna. no need to talk bad about Meatb4l"
"Yup"
The two sipped their coffee silently. After a bit Meatb4l spoke up
"Anyways, how'd your mission go?"
"Oh you know….punched some things, killed some hive, that type of thing. You?"
"Crucible"
"..."
"..."
"I'm going to assume it didn't go well?"
"Yup"
"Hey big guy, mind lending me a hand over here!" The two turned and saw Amanda wave at them
"No problem Amanada" with that Meatb4l trotted over to her, leaving BP to drink his coffee
"So…" before he could say anything Sparky's eye flashed "oh wait, give me a sec….It's Zavala. Wants to talk"
"That fast huh? Ok"
The two left the hangar and walked towards his office, along the way they passed by some guardians messing around in the tower. He could very easily differentiate between the new light's, usualls, and veterans. Of course the majority of the hunter's were either new lights, or veterans hanging out with their clan.
Walking past a small corner he saw a warlock and a titan studying for something. Well more like the warlock telling the titan what to do. Walking past another corner he saw a warlock and a hunter playing a board game of sorts. Lastly, he saw a trio of titans having an eating competition.
Walking down some stairs he arrived at Zavala's office. The door opened and there he saw the commander.
"BP, good to see you again"
"So, the mission?"
"Today you will be doing a...unique mission"
"What kind of mission?"
BP his behind a broken monitor, gunfire rained above him "You know, when the commander said I was having a unique type of mission I wasn't expecting this"
"Well, the commander sure knows how to spin a tale"
"I'll say"
BP readied a shock grenade and threw it overhead. He heard the pained cries of fallen dregs.
"What are the fallen even doing here?"
"Probably a scavenging party"
BP pulled out a dark blue hand cannon, having given it a shader it looked a lot better than when he first found it. Rose, that's what it was named and that's what he'll continue to name it.
Looking over the console he discharged three shots, all three made their marks on the fallen dregs. Standing up he holstered rose and walked out of the control room. Exploring the Cabal ship he maneuvered his way through the abandoned halls.
"Wait, I'm sensing another ghost"
"Where"
"To your left, inside that crate"
Walking over BP opened the lid, looking inside he saw the curled up body of another guardian. Female from what he could tell. Gently picking her up BP placed her on the ground.
"Any visible injuries?"
"None, but they are suffering some mild starvation"
BP gently pushed her head, removing her helmet he saw a face he truly wasn't expecting. It was Eliksni, something he hadn't seen...ever really
"Sparky?"
"Give me a minute, her ghost is damaged. Let me just"
With that a grey shelled ghost appeared to have a small crack.
"Think you can?"
Sparky appeared next to him "I can try"
She projected a simple beam of light and although the crack on the shell didn't mend itself back together, the ghost's eye began to flicker on. It began to levitate slowly and looked around it.
"Wh-what happened?"
"I don't know, but we gotta get your guardian out of here"
BP went to pick her up but the ghost hovered protectively over her "Back off!"
"Woah, woah. Calm down. I'm only here to help" BP extended his hand and Sparky appeared "See, i'm like you"
"Oh...I see" it moved out of the way and nodded at its ghost "go ahead. Do you have a ship?"
"Yes. what happened to yours?"
"It got damaged"
"Well, no time to worry about that now" Picking up the Eliksni, BP placed her helmet back on and left for his ship.
"We got hostels incoming"
BP readied Rose and held it at his side. Turning the corner he expected to see fallen dregs. Instead he discharged a shot at a Screeb.
"Well, that complicates things"
Running through the halls BP fired the last two shots at more screebs.
"Which way to the ship?"
"It's on this one"
BP felt himself get covered in arc energy as he slammed his shoulder into the damaged door. Looking up he saw his ship, the callisto lancer, waiting for him. Transmatting inside it BP laid the Eliksni guardian on a bed.
"Spark's start the engine"
"Already did"
Sitting on the pilots seat BP saw some fallen grunts run out, they flailed their arms at him but multiple screebs appeared and exploded behind them.
"BP what system?"
"Any, just as long as it's away from here"
Pushing the lever forward, he heard his NLS drive activate. BP gunned it and was about to leave when he heard Sparky yell.
"No wait, I did-"
The ship's vision was covered in a bright light as it entered jump space "-n't finish inputting the coordinates….you fuking idiot!"
"Hey, I was panicked"
"You're a veteran Guardian, who has been alive for close to 100 years, and you were panicked!"
"W-well I-"
BP jumped when Sparky used her electro shell and rammed into him "You Bitch!"
Just as BP was about to swat at her she disappeared into his 'backpack'
"Coward!"
BP sighed and laid on his chair. "Well at least it could be-"
They exited out of jump space and into a large asteroid "-worse!" grabbing the throttle and moving out of the way. BP was able to avoid most of it but his rear engine was still hit. Gripping into the throttle he wrestled with it. He saw a planet, and as they entered the atmosphere.
"Hang on!"
BP saw the clouds separate, he noticed that he was nearing a forest. Bringing the ship up he tried to minimize the damage but was unable to prevent the crash.
That concludes this chapter, I do hope to make the following chapters a bit longer. I know, I know, I did the 'input random coordinates into the ship and launch yourself accidentally to remnant' trope, sue me.
A couple things, no these two characters won't be in a relationship. Will there be a relationship...maybe, maybe not.
As for those curious, BP is just an abbreviation for BalistcPanda. As for those wondering what hsi reset number is...it's 45. So the full name would be BalistcPanda45.
Lastly, yes I know Rose was sunsetted but that's game wise. I don't think lore wise you could sunset a gun. Besides, it's the best 140 in the game.
Other than that, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. If you have any questions don't be afraid to send me a PM or leave a review.
