The hangar in the Tower is as busy as ever. Littered with people hastily grabbing their ships and leaving. While three ships arrived. Transmitting a hunter, warlock, and Titan. By the time they hand their feet on the ground it was like a ghost town in the hanger. Just about everyone had left in a hurry. Looking around, the three of them headed out of the hangar and for assembly hall. Upon arriving they were greeted by a Guardian hunter that was about to head out himself.
"Yo where did everyone run off to? Is Cade and Shakks going at it in the crucible again?" Asked Laurina, the warlock with silver spiked hair.
"If only it were something so tame. We are fighting the Fallen on Venus for an important vex gate that could possibly lead us to The Vault Of Glass. Known to hold the Time Conduit, Atheon himself. If we don't take that gate from the Fallen. They could easily join the Vex and launch an attack on the Last city. Whipping us out for good." Said the guardian before running off to the hangar.
"Welp, that stinks. We just left venus." sighed Allen the Slim armored titan, running his hand through his well kept hair.
"That's none of our concern. We still have to find Adaline. She still owes me a drink." Growled SoL, the Hunter that still had his helmet on.
"True, she still owes me an explanation on why we had to scavenge that blueprint for her a couple of days ago." Laurina said as they headed to the bar.
Finding a few guardian's still lingering about, they found a familiar hunter inspecting a weapon at one of the booths. The Three slid into the booth with her. Taking a look up from her newly acquired weapon to spy her friends all peering at her. She placed the gun that seemed to be the pulse rifle that she showed them schematics for earlier.
"Been avoiding us haven't you. Well nowhere to run now Adaline." Laurina said, slamming her fist down on the table, careful to not hit them against the riffle with spikes protruding from it.
"Avoiding you guys. Heavens no. I've just been handling a few things thats all. Made a new friend too, think you guys might like him." Adaline leaned back putting her hands behind her head, her silk black hair hiding one of her eyes behind it.
"You can buy me that drink then, huh? Since you aren't running and all." SoL growled as he put his feet on the table.
"Sure thing. I'm swimming in glimmer now. This gun has been a lifesaver. Not to mention its ability actual heals you too, it's crazy. I can't wait to use it for the upcoming Iron banner tournament." Adaline called one of the available waiters and ordered SoL's drink and the other ordered theirs.
"That is beside the point. You sent us on that wild goose chase to find this, I'm guessing." Laurina said, picking up the weapon off the table and inspecting it.
"Yup, nice ain't she. Goes by the name of Red Death. Only thing is I can't use it in normal crucible because it can steal guardian's light away from them after killing them. Luckily the boys that Run Iron Banner have precautions for that. Its pretty accurate to bute."
"Hmm I guess it was worth it. Lorleave was hounding me to help her with an exotic weapon too. Don't remember what I was called though." Laurina said as they waited for their drinks. A little bit uneasy since there wasn't really anyone in the bar today.
"With her It could be anything. That girl is always getting into something. Wonder if we should join the rest of the Tower in Venus?" Allen said cleaning his auto riffle.
"Nah if we were needed they would've sent our ghost something on the conquest that would be in that sector. Since we didn't get anything on the fly in, obviously we aren't needed in this great bout." SoL chimed in while he shappening one of his blades.
"Funny enough I'm pretty sure that Lorleave was headed to that sector last time we met. Hmm…."Laurina said, putting Red Death back on the table as their drinks arrived.
A few seconds went by as they casually sipped on their drinks. Thinking to themselves in almost complete silence. One of the lone monitors lit up as the bartender turned up the sound.
"The guardians on Venus are in a stalemate in the northwest quadrant. The Fallen have launched a full on assault and aren't backing down for anything. It even seams that the Vex have joined in on the -'' The reporter on the screen was interrupted by something in their earpiece before saying,'' We've gotten news that the Guardian that discovered the Vex gate has made it out safely. Now that we have the location we are pushing the Fallen out. Give your war crys to….. Lorleave and Heather. For securing the gate."
The four sitting in the booth looked at each other before clinking glasses and taking a big swig for their comrades.
"Well that answers that question. Don't think they'll be needing our help in this one guys." Adaline said leaning back again
"Oh we also got news on what group of guardians will be headed into the Vault of Glass once it has been secured. Lorleave said we can call on a rambunctious group of Guardians. Apparently in the group is two Hunters and Titans. With her counted there are even two Warlocks. Pretty well balanced crew. That goes by the name the Wayward brothers."
They four in the booth stood up and looked at eachother before sharing on collective , Fuck. Their jaws basically on the ground. Wondering how they are gonna get through this situation they are in this time.
