To that guy who said that he wanted Yang to have an Exotic Weapon... I got you bro...

"Heavy Ammo Inbound!"

Everyone heard it.

Only two understood it's implication.

Yang's grin grew into a dangerous smirk as the markers for Heavy Ammo lit up before her. Suddenly, everyone on the opposing side was aiming for her. They couldn't let her get to it. They had to stop her.

But it was already too late. She had been watching the timers and the placement of the Heavy Ammo pick-ups. She jumped from a hole in a Hive-infested building, shooting down 2 attackers waiting for her. They met their deaths with her fiery fists. She got closer to the Heavy Ammo Box, now watching her surroundings. A few more bursts of her gauntlets ensured she reached the Box. She whirled round to see her attackers.

Two Human Warlocks, An Exo Titan and... Ruby. She grinned as they engaged their Super attacks; Two Nova Bombs, A Hammer of Sol and Ruby stringing her bow of void and aiming her ShadowShot straight at her. Yang continued to watch as the Super attacks came closer to her as if baiting them forward. As they almost reached her, she thrust out her hands as if trying to stop the attacks with willpower alone.

Ruby understood what was happening; with a look of horror on her face.

A burst of Void Light quickly shielded Yang and the Super attacks were nullified upon meeting her barrier. When the dust cleared, all that was left was Yang's shield. She stood there look mightily pleased with herself.

"Oh, SHIT!" Someone said, turning tail immediately.

"RUUUUN!" Someone else all but screeched. The others turned in confusion.

"Heavy Ammo Available!"

Ward Of Dawn. A Super defence, where the caster summons Void Light to shield them from any and all attacks. Combined with the defensive and offensive boosts to power that it gave, Yang was now invincible.

And this invincibility was now solidified by the fact that she had Heavy ammo. A rocket launcher materialised in her hands and she filled it with the precious ammo she had received.

"You can run..." Yang giggled crazily, jumping onto a ledge and then into the air. She locked on to three running targets.

"But you can't HIDE!" She screamed, lighting up the sky with her rocket launcher. The rockets quickly found their targets and exploded into cluster-bombs, causing devastation on an even larger scale.

"Time to LIGHT 'EM UP!" Yang screamed again, jumping into a group of unsuspecting enemies. They realised too late and were completely blown to smithereens. Yang cackled loudly.

Gjallarhorn.

An exotic Rocket Launcher that could both lock onto enemies as well as create cluster-grenades that ensured complete annihilation of an area. Whether used on enemies or in the Crucible, it did its job perfectly; exactly like Yang's nature. It was as if this weapon was made to suit her needs of blowing things up.

Ruby stayed in hiding; trying to ensure her survival during Yang's current rampage. It would take a while until she could go and take out her Sister. She currently didn't have much Special Ammo left.

"Aren't these just LOVELY Fireworks!" Yang cackled once more, blowing up an entire quarter of the map. Screams of death cried out across the area.

24 Kills. 1 Death.

Ruby got to the highest point of the map, lying flat. She swivelled her gun to the cries of anguish and laughter; finding her sister. She zoomed in on Yang, followed, aimed...

Then fired.

The bullet shot from her sniper rifle, piercing through the neck of an enemy unfortunate to jump in the way and finally lodging itself into Yang's weapon. Yang had hadn't even felt the bullet hit Gjallarhorn and continued locking onto a target. Still grinning wildly, Yang squeezed the trigger.

Gjallarhorn exploded in white light; instantly killing her; ending her 15-killstreak and her rampage.

She respawned seconds later with a howl of misery. She swore to get revenge on her Sister and stomped off.

Meanwhile, Shaxx was laughing as if he had never laughed before. He loved his daughters, but they seriously couldn't handle dying very much. It was always entertaining to see Ruby finish off her Sister so nicely. Finally running out of oxygen, he looked towards the time.

"30 Seconds Guardians!"

The fighting between teams became much more fierce; as they tried harder to kill each other. Yang began to rampage once more; even throwing a guardian's corpse at another person just to blind them enough for her to shoot them down. Ruby was skirting around; trying to blast as many people as she could with her Golden Gun.

"Ten seconds Guardians! Push forward!"

Shaxx watched as people began abusing the power of their Supers; firing bursts of their ShadowShots, throwing Hammers of Sol anywhere and everywhere to create SunSpots; it was almost like seeing a free-for-all.

Oh well, it was time to announce the quite obvious winners.

Alpha Team! You have WON!"

Alpha team celebrated with a complete waste of ammo; firing into the sky. Bravo Team left, heads down.

"Better luck next time, Guardians."

0o0o0o0o0o0o0

"That was such great fun, wasn't it, Sis?!" Yang exclaimed, hugging her Sister. Ruby rolled her eyes at Yang's behaviour but couldn't help but agree.

"Yeah, it was. Until you went on that killing spree with Gjallarhorn!"

"Oh, come on - You stopped me didn't you? Even if you did kinda break Gjallarhorn in the end."

"Oh, please. If I wasn't there, everyone would have quit the match!"

"She's right about that." Shaxx interfered.

They were currently on their way to the Tower; having left the match and filled their stomachs once more. With Yang now considered a Guardian, her Patrols would become longer and much more challenging than simply killing Fallen or desecrating their territories.

"Come on, Dad. I was just enjoying the smell of explosions!"

"That's a habit you should refrain from. It could get things killed."

"Well as long as it kills Fallen & Grimm, who cares?"

"I do."

A new voice entered and they turned to see a blue man with bright eyes, greying black spiky hair, light stubble across his jawline. In one hand he held a small flask that seemed to be empty.

"Hi kids."

"UNCLE QROOOOW!" Ruby squealed, rushing to him and falling him over as she hugged him tightly. The Awoken laughed as he patted her back until she released him. Yang helped him up.

"So how have you been, Qrow?" Shaxx stated; his manner seemingly awkward. He held out a hand to shake. Qrow looked at the hand with a raised eyebrow, but pushed past it and hugged the man instead.

"Ah, I see... You're drunk." Shaxx said, manner-of-factly, pushing the man away from him.

"Aren't I always?" Qrow laughed, taking another swig. Shaxx rolled his eyes behind his helmet.

"Unfortunately, Yes." Shaxx sighed, turning and continuing to walk. They followed.

"What are you doing here, Uncle?" Ruby asked, skipping along.

"Here to see my lovely little nieces, obviously. Why else?"

"Because every time you say that, you actually mean something else," Yang growled, a mean look on her face. Qrow chortled but received a punch to the stomach for it.

"Okay, okay! I'm sorry for ditching you last time!"

"Sorry won't cut it this time! You OWE me!"

"Oh, come on!"

"You're the worst influence to Ruby, Qrow." Shaxx butted in.

"You too?! I'm a great role model, thank you very much!"

"As if! If we left you alone with Ruby, you would start a drinking game with her!"

"Excuse ME?! I'll let you know, I would do nothing like that to my sweet little Rosie!"

They arrived at the Tower and quickly took the lift to the highest floor, now in the open Plaza. People bustled around; talking to Cryptarchs, collecting items from the kiosks or their vaults, checking out Bounties or Quests, making special orders from EverVerse, a subsidiary of Schnee CO; the Plaza was a place for all Guardians to meet, greet and sight-see.

"Anyways, when does anyone care what I do as long as it doesn't destroy public relations?"

"We do."

They turned to see the three greatest Guardians in existence. The Vanguards.

"I don't actually." Cayde quipped, causing Zavala to sigh and Ikora to facepalm. "Sup, Qrow. Didn't know you were coming back so soon."

"Oh, Hi, Commander." Yang purred, walking over to him silkily. She intertwined their arms as he sighed in exasperation. "Never thought I would see you here..."

"For the last time, Miss Xiao Long, I will not sleep with you. I'm over 100 years old. I'm literally old enough to be your grandfather twice."

Yang huffed as she went back to Shaxx, a pout on her face.

"You'll want me soon enough, Zavala. I told you I would do whatever it takes."

"I also told you, don't bother with an old man like me. There are much younger people than me that you could court."

"Yeah, but none of them are as much of a hunk as you!"

"I'll pretend I didn't hear that."

"What's good, Cayde?" Qrow replied, fist-bumping his friend. "Yeah, I got out on probation. That bastard Uldren tried everything he could to stop me coming here, but I pulled a little sneaky on him."

"I remember banning you from the Plaza and denying your Jumpship access to the Hangar, Qrow." Zavala butted in, obviously still not done with the drunkard.

"I found out I was no longer banned a week ago, so someone must have been nice to me."

All eyes turned to Cayde immediately. He shrugged.

"How-"

"Your passwords are just way too easy to guess. You use the same thing for everything!" Cayde revealed. "It's always AnastasiaBray1234-"

Cayde covered his mouth, having said too much. Ikora raised an eyebrow while Zavala tried hard not to lose his sanity by knocking his head against a pillar.

"Sorry."

"Ah, you also didn't stop Uldren's ship from getting through."

"You stole his ship dude?!" Cayde interjected, surprised. "That's fucking awesome! No wonder he didn't want you to leave."

"True that."

"Either way," Zavala spoke up, "You cannot be here. Not after what you did last time."

"What did I do?"

"You and Cayde raided farms across the entire Tower while wearing masks and cloaking devices to steal Chickens!" Zavala recalled. Ikora was struggling to keep a straight face. "Cayde even decided to keep one and called it the 'Colonel' after his second favourite fast-food restaurant!"

"Hey! Don't go dissing KFC like that! They got the best wings across the grid!"

"Not the point here! You decided it was a brilliant idea to bring the Colonel and a dozen other chickens to the Consensus meeting room with Chicken feed while enacting a mock meeting that consisted of the Chickens being each Cult across the City!"

Ikora burst out laughing, slapping her knee and wiping tears from her eyes. Qrow was struggling to breathe as he rolled across the floor in laughter. Ruby was trying her hardest to contain her giggles while Yang held her stomach as she laughed out loud. The only people who were quiet were Zavala and Shaxx.

"I'm sorry - but that really is hilarious."

"Funny for you, yeah sure! I'm the one who got in trouble for it though!"

"Oh, OH! Remember when the Consensus asked us to have a group photo!" Cayde remembered. Ikora and Qrow fell into a fit of giggles once more.

"And Zavala's head actually reflected the light back to the camera and we couldn't see anything!"

Shaxx actually coughed as he tried to keep in his own laughter at the joke.

"ENOUGH!"

Zavala punched the ground with enough force to shatter the floor they stood on. Everyone that wasn't already looking their way was now very conscious of the very angry Zavala.

"Cool it, bro. It's not our fault you're bald as an egg." Qrow said.

They burst into giggles once more as Zavala sighed.

"Barber must have asked what he wanted and he must have been like: Ever stepped into a war with the Cabal on mars?"

Their giggles turned to full-blown laughter as Zavala groaned.

"Sorry Zavala, but we've gotta run. Have fun now!" Qrow told him, as he and Cayde ran off laughing together.

"Damn idiots. Always leaving me to pick up after them..." Zavala whined.

"Heh, you've been licking boots since we were under Saladin, Zavala." Shaxx said, walking past. "You've not changed one bit."

"And what is that supposed to mean?" Zavala growled, turning to him.

"In Layman's terms... Hurry up and grow a pair."

"Oh really? The great Lord Shaxx thinks he's hot shit because he has two kids?"

By now they were chest to chest; ready to get much more personal. Yang tried to get between them, with Ruby and Ikora on either side of the Titans to break them up.

"Oh please, Zavala, we both know I've been hot shit since I led the attack on the Fallen. Did you forget who was too scared to do anything but hide behind his Master? How pitiful."

"Hide?! Ha! You're the same one who never finished his training! You're just as all bark and no bite as you've always been!"

"And look where I am now! You're stuck pretending to be the leader of a Fireteam for shitshows, while I control the entire training for all Guardians alike!"

"Oh please, spare us your mockery of training. All they do is shoot each other down; like savages!"

"At least it gives them experience on the field! Why don't you continue being the cocksucker you are to the Speaker and die with him."

"You dare to insult the Speaker?! The one who speaks to the Traveller face-to-face?! Who speaks for all of us?!"

"He sure as hell doesn't speak for me!"

"You arrogant, proud idiot!"

"You feet-licking, dick-sucking disgrace of a Titan!" Shaxx roared back. "If that man told you to die for him, you would do it without hesitation! There is more than just the Speaker who lives here! Get that into your thick-headed blue skull, you bastard twit."

"ENOUGH! STOP IT! BOTH OF YOU!"

Ikora blasted both of them with a dose of electricity, with only Shaxx able to keep standing as he converted the electricity back to pure light and shot it upwards to the sky. Zavala fell to his knees as the shock continued to weaken him. She soon stopped, as smoke billowed out of Zavala.

Shaxx huffed in annoyance at the sight of his once former friend.

"Look at you. Once you stood with me taking on entire Fallen Houses and scores of Grimm. Now you can barely take a shock of light. You miserable, wretched, insignificant bug. You don't even deserve that Mark you wear."

Zavala struggled to stand up once more, wanting to say something back; anything. Shaxx huffed once more and turned to go, Ruby and Yang following him.

"Shaxx. One day, that pride will be your downfall."

Shaxx stopped as he heard it. He laughed heartily before continuing on.

"Oh, really? Then I'll be waiting for it to happen." Shaxx replied, "Why don't we give it a few hundred years more or so?"

They left behind the Vanguard team and went to Xander - A robot built to track Quests, Bounties and Patrols. Yang quickly gave her Ghost to him and he updated her info; giving her a new timetable. They went straight home afterwards; the fight with Zavala having killed all joyous moods.

"Dad, that was really dicky of you to do to Zavala, dad." Ruby piped up, as the silence got too thick too bear.

"Yeah dad, You really didn't need to diss him like that."

"I did no such thing. The idiot turd is just to focused on his god to realise that the rest of the Guardians look to him to lead them."

"And you really think what happened today accomplished that."

"Of course not. I was simply calling a fool, a fool."

"Dad, why can't you just talk it out with him instead of riling him up like that!" Ruby remarked.

"Please. As if someone of my standard should even be conversing with a lowly Commander as himself. I should have given him a good ol' fist of flames just to ensure he keeps his damned mouth shut with all that Speaker nonsense."

"Ugh, Dad. You have way too much pride for one man." Yang moaned.

"Of course. Without my pride what am I?"

"Our dad, Dad."

The rest of the walk home was silent as Shaxx contemplated these answers. Maybe, for once, it was time to let bygones be bygones?

As if. That asshole could be eaten by Hive Thrall for all he cared. Not his problem, nor his worry; as long as he wasn't made Titan Vanguard next. The stupid crybaby was too worried about what the Consensus had to say than how we were going to destroy their enemies. They hadn't even taken back their planet, yet they wanted to try ad do something as dumb as expand the City in order to increase imports from the other countries.

What part of war did they not understand?

They got home soon enough and even after they had all gone too bed, Shaxx couldn't sleep. He was a father of two and yet he couldn't even deflate his ego to listen to them?

Maybe he did need help. Maybe... It was time to humble himself.
