As they watched, Vertigo said, "The Hive attacking this place are from the Grasp of Datren. A new faction of Hive within the Enklewood Realm."

The Guardian asked, "What are they after?"

Vertigo answered, "To follow their leader into battle. Datren, the Everlasting Death Bringer. No one knows anything about Datren. He's new to this realm."

The Guardian said, "I see. The Hive really are unknown beings, aren't they?"

Vertigo said, "We already know most of the Hive in our realm. Yet, they just keep coming from unknown places."

The Guardian said, "That, I know. Well, I guess that it is time to stop standing around. And it is time to start killing some Hive and Fallen."

Vertigo said, "I agree."

The Guardian started shooting the Dregs, Acolytes, Thralls, Knights, Wizards, Vandals, and Shanks that were shooting at one another. As soon as that started happening, they all turned toward him and then the Guardian said, "Oh, that's not cool."

The Guardian ran behind cover and reloaded his gun. Eclair's voice appeared saying, "Guardian, you there?"

The Guardian answered, "Yeah. I'm here."

Eclair said, "The Hive are at your current location. Do you know why?"

The Guardian answered, "It seems that they want to take over this prison."

The Guardian looked around and then Eclair said, "Not entirely true. They were brought there from a Hive Beacon. Someone placed it there to set up a trap."

The Guardian asked, "Are you sure?"

Eclair answered, "Yes. I had a scout go there searching for something underground. And they found the Hive Beacon. So, be careful."

The Guardian said, "Understood."

Her scout said, "We identified the being that planted this beacon, ma'am."

Eclair said, "We're listening."

He said, "It was a Hive Testament known as Kerdak, the Fallen King."

Eclair said, "Kerdak, the Fallen King was a Hive King before he was overthrown by his own son, Bacer, the Hive King. Kerdak leads the Hive Resistance against Bacer's Royal Hive. And it seems that the Grasp of Datren works for Bacer."

The Guardian sighed and said, "Damn."

The scout said, "One more thing ma'am. Guardian."

The Guardian heard that and said, "We're listening."

He said, "I found ancient bones of an unknown race of beings. I don't know what they are, but they are here."

Eclair said, "Understood. Take a picture and head back to the city with them."

He said, "Yes ma'am."

Eclair said, "I hope that I was able to help you a little bit, Guardian. It seems that Kerdak will be owing us a favor."

The Guardian said, "I doubt that. He's just trying to take back what was taken from him."

Eclair said, "I see. Well, have fun killing some Hive."

The Guardian stood back up and started shooting saying, "Will do."

The Guardian killed five of them and then went back into cover to reload. The Hive and Fallen continued their fight and then Kerdak watched from afar saying, "It seems that a Guardian will wipe them out. And I will have my vengeance."

The Guardian stood back up and then shot at them again. A Vandal shot at him, but the Guardian hid himself before the bullets could hit him. The Guardian stood up again and shot the Vandal in the head saying, "Welcome to my world."

The Guardian started walking forward as he shot the enemy over and over again. The Wizards turned toward him and then he placed his sniper away and took out his Beginner Pistol and Equalizer and started shooting at it over and over again. The Guardian defeated the Wizards and then the Knights shot at him, but missed miserably. The Guardian was shooting at both the Hive and Fallen at that time. The Thrall charged toward him and then a Cursed Thrall appeared. The Guardian saw that and then shot it in the head causing it to explode killing all of the Thrall and Acolytes around it. The Dregs moved back a little due to the explosion being near them, but the Guardian shot the Dregs in the head immediately afterwards killing them. The Guardian kept firing and then reloaded when needed to. The Guardian sighed and then said, "Well now, that's a lot of Hive."

A Hive Beholder appeared and then lifted up a body of the Hive and launched it at the Fallen and then the Guardian saw that and then said, "A Beholder."

Vertigo said, "To be exact, that is Garvek, the Corpse Thrower. He loves throwing corpses at his enemy."

The Guardian heard that and then said, "Shit."

The Fallen started shooting at the Beholder and then the Guardian stared at it and started shooting at its head. The Guardian reloaded and then started shooting again. Garvek started roaring loudly and then the Guardian said, "Come on Beholder. Fall."

Garvek tossed more corpses at the Fallen and then after 5 tosses, the Fallen were wiped out. The Guardian saw that and then said, "I don't remember a Beholder being this strong."

Vertigo said, "That's because they weren't this strong at all. They were a little smaller in our realm as well."

The Guardian said, "He's crazy. Well, I guess that it's just me and him now."

River asked, "What is going on over there?"

The Guardian answered, "The Hive attacked the Fallen here. And I'm wiping the Fallen and Hive out. That's all."

River said, "The radar is picking up a Beholder in your area."

The Guardian said, "It's true. Garvek, the Corpse Thrower."

The Guardian fired at him and then Garvek continued tossing the corpses at him, but missed everytime due to the Guardian running to the side. The Guardian kept shooting at it while it tossed bodies at him. The Guardian growled and River said, "A Beholder is one of the strongest types of Hive in our realm."

The Guardian heard that and then said, "Well now, I've fought a God before and they are a lot worse than a Beholder. That's for damn sure."

River said, "I know. According to Lady Etharo, the beings in this universe are more dangerous than all other beings within the multiverse. And our Light is the weakest within the multiverse. So, I hope that you understand the situation here."

The Guardian said, "Oh, I understand completely."

The Guardian put his pistols away and then took out his White Dagger again and sniped it in the head 5 times. After that happened, Garvek collapsed and the Guardian said, "Beholder is down. Time to eliminate Onotkar and get the warp drive so that I can get to other worlds."

Vertigo said, "Sounds like a plan."

River said, "You gotta be kidding me. You defeated a Beholder. Not even the Vanguard could do that. The previous Hunter Vanguard died fighting one. You are insane."

The Guardian said, "Thank you for acknowledging that."

The Guardian ran toward the building and then Onotkar said, "A Beholder appeared and wiped out my men, huh?"

The Guardian followed the Hive corpses and then Onotkar saw him and then said, "And then a lone Exo appears to kill me. I guess that the Cult of Tomorrow really did sell me out."

The Guardian said, "Yes he did."

The Guardian and Onotkar started shooting at one another and they were running around one another. Onotkar asked, "What brings you here to my base of operations, brat?"

The Guardian answered, "Your warp drive."

Onotkar laughed and then said, "I see. You are after that warp drive over there. Guess that it really did lure out a big fish. If you survived against the Cult of Tomorrow, then you can survive this."

The Guardian shot the gun out of his hands and then Onotkar grunted. The Guardian trucked him backwards and then he flew right back into the spike that was behind him and then Onotkar screamed out a lot and then the Guardian put his gun away and lifted up Onotkar's Shock Cannon and shot him in the head over and over again. The Guardian stopped after his head blew up and then the Guardian tossed it to the side and walked over to the warp drive and picked it up saying, "All of this fuss for just a warp drive, huh? Well now, let's get out of here so that they can install it for us."

Vertigo said, "Sounds like a plan."

The Guardian entered his ship and took off to Snow Palace once again.
