While the Guardian was flying off to Fort Nya, River asked, "Do you trust him, Lady Etharo?"

Etharo answered, "Yes. We witnessed a miracle. It took us hours to defeat a Grounder, yet he defeated it in 5 minutes with just a Beginner Pistol. Plus, Tirlis trusts him."

A Dragonkin heard that and then looked at her asked, "Do you really trust him though?"

Etharo answered, "Yes. If he's willing to defeat the Asterisk-29 for you, then he's willing to sacrifice it all for you. I am amazed at how fast he answered your plea. I literally wasn't expecting him to answer immediately."

River said, "I see. Do you know anything about him other than he's been fighting Fallen for his entire life?"

Etharo answered, "This is his second resurrection."

River heard that and said, "Second resurrection? You can't be serious."

Etharo answered, "I am completely serious. Don't know how he died, but a lot happens. Well now, I must head back to the Divine Realm and watch over him from above to watch his progress. And report back to Tirlis about him."

River said, "Good luck with that. He's probably not coming back."

As soon as the starship that he got from River appeared outside of Fort Nya's area, he jumped out of the ship using his boosters within his boots to fly around. He looked around and then Vertigo said, "The Fallen here are made up of the House of Lions as River mentioned. You can tell by the mark on their armor."

The Guardian said, "The symbol for pride, if I'm not mistaken."

Vertigo said, "Exactly. Also, it seems that entering the ship replenished your ammo."

The Guardian heard that and then checked his clip and saw that it was full. He then checked his holster and saw another 11 clips saying, "This shit is amazing. Our jumpships weren't capable of doing that at all."

Vertigo said, "So true. We would have to pick up ammo from our enemies."

The Guardian said, "Exactly. And that is never fun."

Vertigo said, "The enemy could be playing dead."

The Guardian said, "Yep."

As soon as he landed on the ground, he started aimed around saying, "I see. It seems that we're heading in the right direction. Right now, we are...where exactly?"

Vertigo answered, "Sable Mining Area within Old Russia. Up ahead is Fort Nya. And the entrance is heavily guarded by 50 Fallen Dregs, Vandals, Wretches, Captains, and a Revenant. Revenant's are a new type of Fallen that has just recently appeared within our realm. But has been here since the Fallen began. The Revenant's name is Basovik, Asterisk-29's Guard. And you can't get in without killing it. It's a little taller than a Captain and has a double shield."

The Guardian heard that and then said, "Well now, 50 enemies, 165 bullets. What are the odds of finishing this without running out of ammo?"

Vertigo answered, "25 to 1. In favor of you."

The Guardian smiled and then aimed at their heads and started shooting at them. While the Guardian started bringing out the can of whoopass on the Fallen, in the Divine Realm, Puthen asked, "Are you ok with that man? He's an Exo. An enemy of our people."

Etharo said, "Stop complaining, son. Tirlis believes in his ability. And so will I. He's currently heading to Fort Nya to defeat Asterisk-29. Members of the House of Lion."

Puthen asked, "Why is he going after the House of Lion if we're up against the Cult of Tomorrow, mom?"

Etharo answered, "River won't tell him anything unless he solves her problem. Plus, it looks like he can handle himself."

Puthen looked at the monitor and saw that the Fallen were falling one after another. He then said, "He won't be able to win with just a Beginner Pistol."

Etharo said, "Don't worry, he'll be fine. Trust your mother."

Puthen said, "Sorry mother, but I don't trust him. I'm going to go back in time and make him disappear for good."

Etharo looked at him saying, "Do it then you'll be killing us all."

As soon as he got to a Fallen Vandal that he killed, he saw a Human weapon on the ground saying, "Hm, this is a Scout Rifle, correct."

Vertigo answered, "Yes. It's known as Refugee Rifle. It seems that the Fallen tortured refugees to get information out of them."

The Guardian said, "I see."

River asked, "Can you hear me? Is this thing on?"

Vertigo said, "We hear you. How can we help you?"

River answered, "If you learn anything from them, then please do tell us."

Vertigo said, "Well, we found a Refugee Rifle out here. A Fallen Vandal was holding on to it. We believe that the Fallen are torturing your people for the information that they seek."

River said, "Torturing refugees for information. That doesn't sound like the House of Lion at all. Did they change factions or something?"

Vertigo answered, "Nope. They are definitely the House of Lion."

He started aiming at the enemy with the Refugee Rifle and then started shooting them in the head again. The Captains were firing and disappearing everytime the Guardian got close to them. River said, "If you find any of the refugees, then help them back to Snow Palace. If they are too injured to move, then place a transmitter down by them and we'll bring them home."

The Guardian said, "Sure thing."

A Captain has fallen and then the Guardian turned around shooting the other Captain in the head. To lower its shield and kept shooting till he collapsed. As soon as that happened, he noticed that he was out of ammo and dropped the clip and placed a new one inside. Vertigo said, "A Wretch behind you."

The Guardian ducked as it tried to chop him in half. The Guardian turned the gun up toward the Wretch and then pulled the trigger killing it instantly. Vertigo said, "5 more enemies to go before we are capable of getting inside of Fort Nya."

The Guardian said, "Fort Nya is heavily fortified. But I've fought worse."

Vertigo asked, "Are you talking about the Fallen Empire when they took over the Last City?"

The Guardian answered, "Yes."

The Guardian hid behind cover as the last of the Vandals were firing their Scout Rifles at him. The Guardian said, "As everyone evacuated the city and the comms were down, I didn't know that the city has fallen. So, I got trapped down there after a Grounder shot me out of the sky with debris. And sent my jumpship right into his body killing him. After that, I killed a total of 1500 men in 30 minutes just trying to get to Volt Armory."

Vertigo said, "1500 Fallen in 30 minutes. You must have been trigger happy or something."

The Guardian said, "Survival of the fittest."

He stepped out from behind cover and started shooting at the Vandals that were in front of him. Headshotting them each time. The 5 Vandals were down and then Vertigo said, "All that's left is Basovik. And he'll be at the entrance of Fort Nya."

The Guardian said, "Sounds like you've been here before."

Vertigo said, "I haven't. This realm is different from our realm, Guardian. Stay focused on the mission."

The Guardian charged forward and then as soon as they got up the hill, they saw Basovik standing tall. Basovik started speaking its language and then as soon as it tried using its radio, he reloaded his rifle and then aimed it at his head and shot at it over and over again waiting for his shields to go down. The Guardian said, "Two shields really are a hassle to deal with."

Vertigo said, "A Revenant is far tougher than a Captain. Especially their shields. It takes a lot longer for its shields to go down."

The Guardian said, "I noticed."

Basovik kept shooting at him every 3 seconds and the Guardian dodged each time. Basovik vanished and appeared behind a pillar and the Guardian charged forward and then slid forward turning straight toward Basovik and shot at his head 5 times before the second shield shattered completely. He reloaded and then slid underneath him and then turned around and Basovik turned around shooting at him. The Guardian fired as well both aiming to kill each other, but the Guardian got the final hit. The Guardian walked over to him saying, "It seems that I still haven't lost my edge. Whooping ass and takin' names."

Vertigo said, "I see. The entrance is up ahead."

The Guardian walked toward it and then placed his hands there and the gate started to open. Vertigo said, "Once you get inside, it's going to be a battlefield. The Fallen will have the place overrun."

The Guardian said, "Wouldn't be fun otherwise."

Vertigo sighed and said, "You sound just like Lord Shaxx."

As soon as the gate completely came down, the Guardian stepped into Fort Nya.
