A.N.: New Chapter.Today is the day that we will hear what the hunter has been up toI will pack some more details in my descriptions and in the story in generalNow, to the readers: can you guess what pairing I have in mind? Write some comments with your guess and your reason for thinking that your guess is the right oneOn to the story
UMP45 was impressed. No other way to say this. This 'guardian', as Spark called him, was strong enough to take out an entire Sangvis Ferri outpost all on his own. She and her team could have done the same, yes, but this guy was alone and with limited ammunition. Even more impressive is that none of the Sangvis dolls out there were killed by gunshots. All of them had cuts.
If this is what this 'light' could do then she should ask if it is possible for T-dolls to use it. Spark said that his Guardian was most likely holding back to get a feel for his new enemies. If this is holding back then she wouldn't want to fight him at his best.
The inside of the outpost was worse of than the outside, with small debris and craters that look like multiple small explosions went of in here. Doll parts were everywhere and the thin walls that once separated the insides of the building into multiple rooms had only small parts still at the ceiling and ground that showed that they existed in the first place. 45 could already tell that this wasn't the hunter's doing.
"45, those are explosions from grenades, small pay load and rapid successive deployment, a rapid fire grenade launcher. The only Sangvis dolls equipped with something like that are Ringleaders."
416 had a point. Weapons like that areonly found on Ringleaders or special machines that wouldn't fit into this place. A Ringleader then. Let's hope their target got away with his life.
" Don't worry 45-nee, Mr. Spark said his guardian defeated a god! There is no way he could be defeated by any T-doll!" It seems that 9 is still optimistic. Let's just hope what Spark said is true. 45, personally, finds it still hard to believe, even with some of the evidence Spark provided.
Still, if they found him and the whole immortality thing is true, maybe they could recruit him. A capable fighter who she doesn't have to worry about dying can be really useful. It would also decrease the risk for her sister and he could gather information for them in riskier places.
45 was pulled out of her musing by the tired voice of G11.
"Found something" The sleepy Assault Rifle said this while pointing at something leaning against the wall directly opposite of the entrance.
A damage T-doll, the dead Ringleader.
The petite body had pale, almost white, skin and was wearing what could only be described as a black revealing shirt and panties. But the most striking feature of the doll was not her state of dress, but the fact that she was missing her head with a smoldering stump of steele and wire at her neck.
"It seems we found our little vandal." Sparks statement Was supported by the big grenade launcher connected to one of her legs. "It seems she had two weapons once. My guardian most likely removed the other one, judging by the hole in her other leg. "
"Why would he need such a heavy weapon? Wouldn't it just slow him down?" 9 had a good argument. From what Spark told them, his guardian was one of the fast, hit and run, sort. Why would he weight himself down like that?
"My guardian is, ah... excentric? Frankly, it's a hunter thing. Should they find something new or defeat a new enemy, you can be certain that they will take a trophy for themself." Did Spark Sound, sheepish? So this is a regular thing
"Well, anyway. Let's look around a bit more. Maybe he left some clue where he went." Everyone agreed to that well, beside G11, but she was sleeping beside the ringleaders body. Nobody wanted to disturb her, so they let her sleep until they found something or they came under attack.
While they were looking around, 416 found a pile of rubble that looked out of place, mostly because everything else in the room was thrown around the room end there were no other piles like this. So, she removed some of the scrap that made up the pile. What she found was surprising: a Dinergate, completely intact and with a strange symbol on its back
The symbol was a cross consisting of four curved lines that basically make the room between them the cross. In its middle was a dot. The symbol was drawn, or rather burned, into the shell of the Dinergate
The small robot itself is not active or rather, active but not moving. "I think this is the clue we wanted." it had to be. Why else would this be here? Sangvis doesn't use such symbols.
"Let me see." Spark was at her side almost immediately and started scanning the strange Dinergate. "This robot seemed to be a modified version of the original. The one who did this was certainly my hunter. It has a audio file saved on it, my guardian most likely modified the recon capabilities of it to use it as a recorder. I'll See if I can extract the audio and play it so we can see what he left us. "
" Why would he leave us a recorded message? " 45 asked. "What makes him think that the first people to find it are friendly? "
"I don't think my guardian did it as a message. He most likely took a page from his mentor, Cayde-6. He also left multiple recordings across the solar system during his travels. My guardian will most likely leave one at every point of interest he crosses, if he has the resources, that is. We can use this as a guide. " Spark explained to them.
UMP9 got exited at the Idea " Let's hear it then! Maybe he got something interesting to say. I really want to know what happened here! " she was practically bouncing on the spot at this point.
" Ha, ok. I will start the recording now. Please don't interrupt."
A.N.: There you have it, with cliffhanger and allThe next chapter is going to be the first personal log of the guardian and the reaction of the others.As always: please leave some feedback and advise.Till next time.
