Both Guardians hit the rocky floor below hard. The air rushed out of Ivara's lungs as she hit the floor and bounced twice before stopping and ripping off her helmet inhaling as much air as she could. As she sat gasping for air John stood slowly and looked up in shock. His robotic eyelits had to adjust to the bright light that illuminated the heavy air around them. He soon saw how far they'd fallen and turned to Ivara with a worried look. She was still sitting on her knees taking in all the air she could. She looked up from where they'd fallen then to John.

"Well I doubt we'll be leaving the same way we came in." She said through occasional gasps.

"You might be right about that. Where are we?" John asked with curiosity as he looked writhe strangely dark room.

Both of their ghosts rose up and scanned the room as the two spoke.

"If I'm right we managed to fall below the Archives. Anyway where ever we are, it smells like death..." Her usually calm tone was now replaced with worry.

She quickly pulled her helmet back on and drew her gun and began spinning it quickly. Her ghost, sensing her worry quickly returned to her. The sound of thick, sloshing liquid filled their ears and was quickly followed by a deafening roar. She fired a shot into the darkness and struck something as a large purple beam of light rushed past her.

"Ogre!" Her ghost called out as the target became highlighted on her HUD.

Both Guardians began to fire at the ogre in the hopes that they would kill it before it killed them. The beam of energy from the beast intensified and began to take on a pale blue hue. Another deafening roar came from the beast as they chipped away at it's thick chiton skin.

Ivara did her best to hit its head but every shot seemed to miss her intended target, it was too dark. She rolled to a nearby rock and crouched behind it as she drew upon the Travelers flames.

She envisioned bright burning flames consuming the enemy before her. She soon burst into bright flames that illuminated the cave they were in. The liquid in which the ogre was standing was pitch black and moved like jelly. The ogre was black except for its central eye and had jagged bones jutting up from its back that gave it a menacing look.

The ogre was much larger than she had anticipated and was much stronger than she'd thought. She let lose a thunderous bolt of fire from her now flaming gun that cut and burned through the ogres flesh. It let out an agonized roar as it stumbled back. The beam from its singular eye cut into the ceiling above her but she didn't noticed. She fired another shot into the ogre as a large hunk of rock fell as knocked her into the pool of thick liquid.

The dark liquid engulfed her and rushed into the cracks in her armor and into her helmet. In a panic she inhaled the black substance and began to choke as it burned her lungs. Her helmet began to fill with the liquid and her vision went dark. The flames that covered her body still burned away at the drakness infused liquid.

John watched his companion fall into the liquid and in a fit of rage charged at the beast with arc energy the longer he ran the brighter the energy became and the more of his body it covered. With a powerful leap he soared into the air and brought his fists down into the ogre's fleshy head.

Arc energy cracked and hissed as it burned a hole into the ogres head. John pulled a still energized fist back and drove it into its skull again while he drew the other back and repeated the same strikes over and over till the ogre fell dead. He quickly turned back to where the Hunter had fallen in and used his thrust pack to float to where her once glowing flames were nothing but mere embers in the dark pool that consumed them. He reached in and hooked his arms under hers. He drug her out of the liquid as her ghost materialized beside him.

"She's going to drown in her helmet!" It exclaimed with fear.

John laid her on her back and pulled her helmet off. Black liquid poured out and washed over her face. He wiped away the liquid with his hand and she began to violently cough up more of the liquid. She rolled onto her side and heaved as the black substance exited her body.

So I ended up changing the 5th chapter of the story because I didn't really like the Vex mind idea. I might end up putting it into another story I'm drafting right now.
