Chapter 14

I do not own Destiny 1 or 2 or Rising of the Shield Hero

My Beta reader is Grammarly

Guest maybe later on there will be help from other guardians, before that happens though they need to make sure that they won't become stuck there in a different world, and yes Saint will like Filo, though to me it would be more because she is the adopted daughter of someone he has a great amount of respect for

L the Taken King is not working for Medea he just picked up Callums signal, and I wouldn't call Ar'na powerful...more along skilled and experienced. As for the weapons I have no plans of having the cardinal weapons made by the traveler

Story Start

"Wow I knew Callum was strong but I never thought that he was this strong!" exclaimed Raph

In the background, Motoyasu grips his spear angrily while the other so-called hero's look miffed that now two people that use shields have proven to be that much stronger than them.

"You haven't really had the chance to see Callum go full out, but with a being like Oryx you have to go full out just to stay alive let alone to win."

"He did seem quite powerful, I mean a few stray attacks basically destroyed this ship...WAIT what happened to that Glass lady?" Raph asks, quickly scanning her surroundings

"She left shortly after Oryx made his own appearance, judging from her clothes and weapons she specializes in short battles, quickly taking out her opponents with the least amount of effort or risk to herself. Plus she is extremely stealthy, much more then the people of this world are and I have no idea of how long she was watching for before she was made her appearance." said Ar'na

"But Oryx, Callum, and Saint were preoccupied, surely she would have stayed around and do what she was here to accomplish? I mean she didn't have much trouble with the soul eater so I doubt that the other heroes would have been much trouble." Said Raph

"Quantity has a quality all of their own, with all the unknowns present she obviously didn't want to take the risk. All it takes is a single opening and it's all over." said Ar'na sadly

"That's how you lost Cayde 6 wasn't it?" asked Raph

"Yes, all the enemies there he could have defeated. Especially the minions, but eventually the sheer number of small fry overwhelmed him and allowed one of the leaders to take him out. Anyway, let's get out of here before the idiots come to their senses and try to stop us."

As they left Ar'na was the only one to notice Melty's angry scowl turn into a malignant grin

With Saint 14 and Callum

"So you got my message?" I ask

"Loud and clear old friend, we became quite worried when we heard you vanish." said Saint patting my back heavily "So it good to see you safe!"

"It is good to see you too, unfortunately, I cannot leave right now, it seems that this place is facing their version of the darkness and I cannot leave them to your fate."

"Eris thought you might have something binding you to this place so she gave me these!" spoke Saint giving me two heavily customized transmat beacons

"Why are you giving me two?" I ask suspiciously

"...I'm sorry friend but you have habit of being...clumsy." said Saint reluctantly

"You fall to your death once during a Crucible match and you never hear the end of it."

Placing a hand on my should Saint continues "Friend we both know it was more than just once or twice."

At that moment Ar'na, Raph and Filo arrive

"Hey Saint, allow me to introduce my adopted daughter Filo."

Walking up to Raph, Saint 14 takes her hand "So you have a daughter, and a fighter to boot!" said Saint

With a blush Raph rips her hand away "I'm Raphatalia, I'm not his daughter!"

"I am!" exclaims Filo

"This...big bird is your daughter?" asks Saint in confusion

"Filo, can you transform?" I ask

"Yes daddy!" soon enough Filo takes her human form

"My my how cute you look! You can call me Uncle Saint." said Saint 14 happily as he ruffles Filo's hair affectionately "Oh I almost forgot I brought you new armour blueprints for you and you can tell me all about your adventures as we celebrate!."

With that, we went to the nearest village inn and celebrated our victory and reunion

The Next Day

"Why are we even going to see the king?" asked Ar'na

"It is the last time we will see him for some time so why not take his money before we go."

When we entered the throne room I could immediately tell something was wrong.

"That's him, that's the man that assaulted me!" sobbed Malty as she pointed at Saint 14

'Oh you F****** Bitch.' I think to myself

"Callum I did no such thing, you know I wouldn't!" protested Saint 14

"I know you wouldn't. I also know Malty is the kind of person to make this sort of story up." I said reassuringly

"How dare you! Your friend tries to rape poor Malty and you take his side!" said Motoyasu angrily

"Have you forgotten what happened yesterday? Have you forgotten his strength? His power? How on earth would she get away if what she says is true."

"It doesn't matter you and your friend are in the wrong! Not Malty!" accused Itsuka

"Yes, if I didn't slap him so hard when he tried to drunkenly kiss me...I don't know what would have happened." sobbed Malty

"So you saw his face..." I replied smugly

"What has that got to do with anything?" asked Ren

"You see Saint here hasn't taken off his helmet the entire time he has been here, so if what she is saying is true then she can describe his face."

"Wait what...I mean I couldn't see his face due to how dark it was!" protested Malty so weakly that the only ones she was convincing were idiots...so most of the people in the room.

"But you felt his face...so you would have noticed anything different about it? And your sure you hit his face and not his helmet?"

"Of course I would have!" said Malty snottily

"What does this have to do with anything?" asked Ren

"Saint 14 do you mind removing your helmet?"

"Not at all." spoke Saint as he slowly removed his helmet revealing his face...his metal face

"He is a robot?!" said Itsuka

"No he is an Exo." I said

"What that means!" said Ren in shock

"That she made the whole thing up yes."

Just then a black portal opened up behind Saint

"It looks like Eris Morn's spell is calling you back."

"It does look that way, I'm sorry friend but the way it was explained to me was that if I don't leave now I will be stuck here."

"It's no problem...and don't worry, I'll take care of things here."

"Thank you, I could not bear to have my honour besmirched like this."

As Saint 14 left Malty tried getting the situation

"See he was obviously guilty of something if he was that eager to leave..." as she continued to prattle on making up excuses I grabbed Raph breachlight pistol from her holster and put a hole in each of her legs, as she falls to the ground her father predictably comes to her defense.

"Guards arr...arrggh!" screamed the king as I put a hole in his shoulder

"What the hell are you doing! You can't just..." started of Itsuka before I held the barrel of the pistol against his head

"I'm sorry...I can't do what?"

"..."

"That what I thought, do you have any idea of how much I hate you pathetic so-called heroes? From Motoyasu who stood by and was going to let his teammate slaughter innocent village, including some newborns. Ren who I'm just disappointed and you Itsuka. You are the most pathetic hypocritical little shit I have ever met, you have jumped down my throat a number of times about showing respect to others. Ignoring point blank that I was the insulted party and that it was quite a major insult, while you demand absolute respect at all times and become quite vindictive whenever you perceive even the slightest insult."

"You think I will let you get away with this? I will make sure you pay for this!" boomed the king angrily as he clutched his shoulder

"I think you have no choice, you try anything then my homeland will raize this castle to the ground until not a brick is left standing."

"I think you're over exaggerating, surely that won't happen." said Ren

"Do you have any idea on who Malty accused, THE Saint 14! Remember how I said humanity almost got wiped out? If I had to put the success of humanities survival on the shoulder of one person above all the other heroes of that time it would be Saint 14 he built the last city which keeps the last of humanity...a city so large that the majority of your kingdom can fit in it. There is no other guardian as revered or as loved as Saint 14, even after being lost for centuries our people's love for him has not diminished in the slightest. So what do you think their response will be when they find out the princess of your small little backward kingdom? Your lucky nothing happened to him as the people would not have stopped until Malty's head was given to them on a pike! And as it is if they hear about what happened the vanguard are going to have to try very hard to talk them out of all-out war."

"I think your bluffing, there is no way that would happen!" said Itsuka arrogantly

My response...I mentally transmit the bullets out of the gun and pull the trigger

'Click'

With a face as white as a ghost Itsuka falls backwards

"You seem to think I care about you, newsflash I don't! We are here to help the people of this world, not please shitty nobles or to stroke your pathetic egos. Unless you start to get your shit together soon I will have to kill you because you have already caused too much suffering and I will not allow it to continue. I will then give your weapons to people that are actually qualified and willing to help others without caring if it makes them look good. You can save yourselves at that point by handing over your weapons voluntarily or you can just admit the world does not revolve around you and change your outlook. But if anyone in this room tries shit like this again will die by my hand!" handing Raph her pistol "Come on everyone lets get the hell of here."

On the way out we encountered a woman in a regal dress

"You did splendidly well this time, I dare say! Your exploits have become impossible to ignore, especially those in power who don't take kindly to you, Sir Shield Hero." At this point she pulls out a necklace "Virtuous on the surface, conniving and conspiring behind the scenes...you should be careful in going forward, I daresay."

As she was leaving Ar'na spoke up "And I daresay that you look so much better in a dress then in black."

Eyes widening in shock the mysterious woman spins around only to see a completely empty staircase

After a quick stop at Erhard's we were on the way to our next destination, after a days journey we stopped to make camp

"Daddy where are we going?" asked Filo

"We are heading to one of the nearby kingdoms called..." before I could finish Ar'na interrupts me

"Hang on, is that Melty approaching us?"

Looking in the direction that Ar'na was looking Melty being escorted by a number of soldiers.

Hey does anyone remember what place Melty said her mother was at? I'm trying to find it in the anime with no luck

For the new armor look at the book cover but replace the saint 14 emblems with the iron banner emblem.

I had a person suggest that I should have gone with an Exo due to fact of the rape charge (ps while am not certain I think exo's can eat and screw as it says that they have organic urges so they don't get...problems, to me this suggests that they have the ability to eat and to have sex as what do you think will happen if someone has had the urger to have sex for the last 300 years but been unable to fulfill it)
