Hey guys. *ducks from thrown object* Ok I get it dropping a cliff hanger on you guys was low and I have no real excuse other then I kinda wanted to write on my other story. Since I did you guys wrong we will go right to the story right now.
"RRRRRROOOOOAAAAARRRRRR!"
Vali stopped his attack and looked up to the direction of the monstrous roar. In the next moment the ground shook like a dozen artillery rounds hit all at the same time. Vali stood up, he was about to speak when something large swatted him like one would do to a fly. Vali went flying through the air and crashed into the mountain side. Suddenly fire shot out from behind me most likely aimed at Vali's teammates.
A voice, feminine in origin, boomed it was yelling out something in a language I could not identify. It employed sounds that I could only describe as hissing, as well as a noise that sounds like a beast clearing its throat. From the way the female voice spoke she sounded like she was putting emphasis on the first syllable, she was also putting emphasize at the beginnings and the ends of certain words.
A male voice returned in the same language, and it sounded like it was coming from the same direction as Vali. The female voice returned with a harsh tone before the male voice returned with one, what I assumed to be, one word.
A large shadow zoomed over me it took a second for my Vex eye to adjust to the lighting but what I saw made my heart sink even lower. A pair of familiar Icy reptilian blue eyes stared down at me, I could see a small gleam in the eyes of the creature before me. Likes her wish had just came true and she was just about to claim it for herself.
"T-tiamat?" I asked weakly.
The dragoness seemed to smile before she punched me, and with the size of her claw she punched my body. She punched me into the ground creating a small crater and crushing my armor… or what was left of it.
She retracted her fist but then extended one of her claws to my neck.
"Submit to me." she ordered with a low growl.
If I refused there was no doubt in my mind that one, she would continue to punch me until I did or she would straight up kill me. So that left me with one option.
"Hölle Schrei, Reaper der Beschädigten." I whispered.
Tiamat growled and removed her claw from my neck then swatted something, most likely Hell's Scream, into the ground.
'Bitch.' Mhyrixis commented.
I soon found a blue fist impacting me again sending me deeper into the ground. My armor systems by this point we as good as gone so my shields would not be coming back, and with Sid down I healed at a regular speed… for a guardian anyway.
Tiamat pulled her claw and looked at me with those hungry eyes.
"Submit to me." She ordered me again.
I tried to get up but there was no way my body would follow my orders in this condition. I was helpless and there was nothing I could do to get me out of this without submitting to the large dragoness looming over me.
Having no other option I opened my mouth and spit out some blood that had collected.
"I had a snarky one liner ready but I forgot it."
Then she smashed me again and I blacked out.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA."
"PLASMA SHUT UP!" Lucas yelled punching the exo in the face knocking him down.
Plasma hit the ground hard but he did not take any damage from the punch or fall.
"But I can't feel my Arc Light, this does not compute." Plasma said his head twitching and sparking as he tried to think about it.
"Plasma you are going to burn out your processor trying to understand it, and we do not have the parts or the light to fix it so calm down!" Lucas yelled at him grabbing onto his shoulders.
"Nor will beating up Plasma, Lucas." Kaleigh said pulling the awoken off the exo.
"It will make me feel better." Lucas said angrily.
"But it will not solve your problem." Kaleigh rebottled sternly.
"What about Jonathan, if we lost our Light then he probably lost his." Linda said piecing together her own puzzle. "I have to go find him."
Linda dashed off toward the door but Kaleigh flew at her and grabbed onto her shirt's collar, stopping Linda in her tracks.
"You all need to claim down and think about this rationally." Kaleigh said drawing the three young guardians' attention. "Now, how did you three loss your powers?"
"Something must have happened back in our universe." Lucas concluded. "The Traveler is our source of power without it we are powerless."
"Like new born dreg." Plasma commented.
"Is there some way to get your powers back?" Kaleigh asked while dragging Linda back to the living room.
Lucas shook his head. "No, we would need a new source to draw on, or wait for the guardians in our universe to fix what ever happened to the Traveler… if the Last City is still there."
"So there is nothing you can do."
"Survive and wait." Luca said grimly.
"Click won't even move." Plasma despaired over his unmoving Ghost in his hand.
"Plasma!" Lucas ordered. The sad exo looked at the fireteam's warlock. "Can you summon your artifact?"
Plasma stood and dismissed his ghost back into his body. He then reached out his right hand pulled back. His minigun appeared in a flash of light and the ammo belt came out of his back, ripping through his clothes, and went into the minigun's ammo drum.
"It appears that we can still make use of artifacts. But Plasma and Slim are the only ones that have them." Luca said while Kaleigh tied Linda to the couch.
"Now I do not want to find you running after Jonathan by yourself." Kaleigh order the female hunter like a mother would scold a child. She then looked over to Luca. "What if you tried to draw on the magic energy of this world?"
"It might work." The Awoken warlock said holding his chin. "At this moment we are like a tank without power. The mechanics are there and the gun works but we don't have any power."
"Does that also mean that any power source could become your source?"
Luca's eyes widened in realization. "In this state anyone, with the power to do so, could turn us into anything! In this state someone could fill our bodies with evil magic turning us into creatures of the darkness… or worse."
"If that's true then maybe we should go into hiding if we are attack then only me and Plasma will be able to defend ourselves."
Luca looked at the purple haired angel. "Don't sell us too short just because we don't have our light. We are still good shots with our guns."
"I am not saying you are defenseless, I am saying that if we do get into a fight with a powerful being you will need more than your guns to bring them down." Kaleigh countered.
"We need to fine Jonathan!" Linda yelled out trying to get out of the ropes.
"We will look for him when we have a good idea on how to go about looking for him, we cannot come back to life should we die." Lucas said glaring at Linda. "We can't help him if we are dead, we don't even know if he is in trouble, for all we know he could be on his ship orbiting the Earth trying to figure things out himself."
"No! He is in trouble I can feel it!" Linda protested.
Locus was about to reply when someone else beat him to the punch.
"Your friend is correct." Everyone's head turned to see the very tall man in a suit looking back at them. "Jonathan is in trouble."
"Who are you?" Lucas demanded picking up a nearby knife.
Kaleigh summand a light spear to her hand and got in a defense stance. Plasma looked around for a weapon before setting on a traffic cone that was oddly placed next to him. He held the orange object over his shoulder ready to bring it down on any foe that would oppose him; however he completely forgot that he had a fully functional mini-gun attached to his arm. Linda continued to struggle against her bonds but to no avail.
"My name is Slender Man, and our friend is in a major predicament."
*Earlier*
Slender Man was enjoying his evening tea, as per his normal routine. He had just finished dealing with a few monsters that wandered into his forest. The damned creatures never learn. One would think that over years they would learn to stay out of his forest, alas they just kept coming back and kept trying to kill him.
Even some of those girl scouts came to the edge of his forest before they retreated. A part of Slender Man wished they would just leave him alone, and the other part wished they would come in so he could break their damned necks as soon as they stepped into his forest.
But then again the normal humans that came into his camp were fun to play with. There was a legend going around about his forest. The tall faceless man who lived in the forest who would kill you if he caught you snooping around in his forest and the only way to stave off his wrath was to collect 8 pages that were hidden around the forest.
This was half true. Yes he did not like people coming into his forest but that was only because of the amount of junk people left behind from parties, and the time when two teenagers would sneak out into the forest to have sex. With Slender Man's superior hearing and connection to this forest he could hear every single word they said. After awhile you get tired of two lovers talking about how much they wanted to smash each other.
On the bright side once he started to chase them out the partiers and the teenagers looking to have sex stopped coming. On the dark side that caused ghost hunters to start coming to the forest trying to talk to him or get him to go away. That led to this one incident when Slender Man got a little carried away with scaring the ever living crap out of them and led one human around his forest in circles.
The guy had a notepad on him and he started to leave little notes around. A few of them were addressed to him, others were for other people that might wander into the forest, and a few were a few facts about him. After he caught the guy he wiped his memory and threw him out of his forest and kept the pages and placed them all over his forest to help scare people away.
However there were a few exceptions and every once and a while someone present would come alone. Sometimes little children would get lost in the forest and would wander into his forest. Them being children they had no idea that the very tall bring standing before them was real and not an imaginary friend.
They would talk to him and asked questions about him, in the end he would have to lead them to the nearest town, human, or anyone of the nearby Wood Nymphs to get them out of his forest safely. Mainly because if they stayed for too long they might run into a monster before he could kill it.
There were also a few adults that knew of him personally, Jonathan being one of them and few others. There was this one girl he did find one time. She was sweet and she had an odd ability in the fact that he could not sense her presence in his forest. He met her when she snuck up on him and asked him if he knew the way out. He was drinking his tea at the time and he was not expecting her so when she asked him he jumped in surprise and teleported away.
When Slender Man teleported back he tried to scare her away by being intimidating but she just laughed at him, HIM, a being that could quite literally tear out her soul and eat it. But after hearing her laugh he could not bring himself to scare her away anymore so he relented and sat back down. Once she was done laughing at him she joined him and started to make small talk. She asked about him, how old he was, and the world around them.
He ended up telling her a little more then he should've and she ended up finding out that mythology wasn't so methodical.
Slender Man smiled at the memory, the only indicator of this was the small line where his mouth was supposed to be. He did not smile with his teeth because it was a scary sight to see… he found it scared people away pretty easily.
Once Slender Man had finished his cup he used one of his tentacles to pick up the tea pot and poured another cup for himself. Once he had finished that cup he stood and started to walk through his forest to admire how well kept he had it.
Slender Man suddenly came to an abrupt stop. Someone had entered his forest, but this someone was very powerful. Part of him hopped it was Artemis so he could crush her neck, but alas he knew exactly who it was.
He teleported to a tree branch that was over the area where the intruder was. She was walking cautiously forward, and her head was checking her surrounding looking for anything out of the ordinary.
'Hestia.' Slender Man inwardly growled.
Slender Man was not fond of the Olympian pantheon as a whole, especially the upper gods and titans, but there were a few good ones among them, Hestia being one of them. But she was in his forest and after Apollo killed Jonathan he was planning on playing their little demigod camp a visit, to show them what happened when someone killed one of his few friends. However, when he found out that Jonathan brought himself back to life, or the angels somehow did it without God the Father, he scratched that plan and settled with throwing any and all Olympians out of his forest.
A (extra) thick fog started to come in and surround the goddess. She came to a stop as the unnatural fog started to surround her and she summoned fire to her hand to give out some light.
"Why are you here goddess?" Slender Man hissed at the scared goddess. His voice was coming in from all directions making it impossible for her to follow the sound of his voice. "I told that stupid hunt goddess that if any of you would come back here that I would eat your soul."
"I come bearing news of the Titan Jonathan." Hestia said skimpily.
"If you bring news then you know that he is still alive." Slender Man concluded, adding in a rumbling growl for good measure. "If you have come here to tell me that someone killed him, then I encourage you."
Slender man appeared behind her and wrapped one of his tentacles around her neck. Slender Man lifted her into the air effortlessly, all the while the fire goddess gasped for air.
"TeLl Me whO dId, so I cAn deVour tHeiR sOul." Slender Man said showing his teeth in an evil smile while applying his static hallucination to the goddess' view.
"H-he's n-ot dead. Tiamat to-ok him." Hestia maintained to choke out.
If Slender Man had physical eyes they would be widening right now. Slender Man drop the goddess causing her to fall to her knees while coughing. He knelt down to her level and grabbed her face and forced her to look at him.
Slender Man was well aware of the mental mind set of many creatures and monsters, dragons being one of them. If Tiamat took him after he beat her then that only meant one thing, but the only way he would know for certain if he knew what Tiamat said to him before she took him and what he said to her in-between.
"What DID Tiamat say to him?" Slender Man said dangerously. "I want the exact words used."
"She told him to submit to her." Hestia said sheepishly.
Slender Man cursed his luck. If Tiamat said that to him then she wanted to take Jonathan as his mate, the only way to stave her off would be to get Jonathan away from her, but even then he would have to deal with one pissed off dragon in heat.
The challenge would be getting the titan out of Tiamat's den, dragons tended to value their mates well over anything else they had in their horde to a point where they would not let them leave their sight for the first month. Never mind out of their den, he would be guarded like no other and even Slender Man would be hard press to get him out without being caught.
However if Jonathan did not submit to her she would more than likely drop him off in a area where he would be on guard for his life 24-7. He would have to fight off monster after monster while trying to look for food and water. Tiamat would most likely keep him in sight at all times waiting for the moment where he would be weak and she would appear to him with whatever he needs at the time. She would offer it, and more, to him if he only but submit to her.
This would probably go on for a mouth before Tiamat would loss her self control and resort to some kind of magic to make him submit, a love spell or something of the sort. Worst thing that could happen was if the love spell were to failed, that would cause her to fly into a sex crazed rage. She would force herself onto him until she was satisfied or Jonathan died from exhaustion, and given a dragon such as Tiamat, Jonathan's chance of outlasting her were low.
So now the begged the question.
"What did he say back to her?"
"As first he tried to call his weapon to his side but Tiamat smashed into the ground. When that failed she demanded him to submit to her again then told her he had a snarky one-liner ready but he forgot it."
Slender Man could not help but let out laugh at the titans reply. Staring down one of the most powerful dragons still around and he's still cracking jokes.
When he recomposed himself Hestia finished. "She then knocked him out and took off with him into the sky."
Slender Man let go of Hestia and stood to his full fight. "Leave me goddess I have something to do."
"Ugh."
I pushed myself up off the ground and looked around, to see I was in a forest the same one I landed in when my vex eye teleported me here. Speaking of eyes, I could only see out of my vex eye as my right was gone.
I weakly stood up and tried to walk but my legs gave out and I fell back down. Bits of my armor fell off as I tried to get back up. My helmet was gone, my chest piece was falling off my body, my shoulder pads and arm guards were also missing.
"Sid." I said weakly but he did not reply.
I brought my left arm out, it shaking like a storm, as I brought it out. Sid's unmoving shell appeared in my hand, his light was out and it looked like he took a grenade to the face.
"I'm sorry old friend." I said dismissing him back into my body.
I started to limp into the forest. The first thing I need to fine was shelter then water, and food after that. The last time I was here I was able to fly over all of this but now… I'm light less, I'm weapon less, and I don't have Hell's Scream with me.
If there was any plus to any of this it was that I still had my two other artifacts. With my cross I could hide if anything dangerous decided to show up, and I could use my chain artifact to climb something if I need too.
My legs gave out again causing me to fall to the ground. I sat up against a nearby tree, breathing like I just ran the wall twenty times. My chest felt like I just got hit by a Vex Gate Lord, and my right eye socket hurt like hell and blood was dripping from it.
I tried to summon my Sol light to my hand but nothing happened. I tried to do it again refusing to believe the light was not in my body.
"No!" I protested. "I couldn't have lost it!"
I tried and tried and tried, but nothing happened. I was powerless, I was not a guardian anymore. I was a normal human.
Human.
More blood started to flow out of my eye socket. Yea I was crying, a god killing, guardian of humanity was lying up against a tree crying blood from his missing eye. In all I wished I had died back in that fight, at least there I would have died with some dignity. Here I was crying like a child over lost power, how pathetic is that?
I pushed myself up and started to slip deeper into the forest, ignoring the pain and protest my body was sending me. I could not be caught out in the open in this state, at this point anything could kill me and I only had one life left.
If worse came to worse I could always play dead.
However I could not shake the feeling that I was being watched. It was like my, still functional senses, were telling me that something dangerous was looking for a chance to pounce. And my virgin senses were telling me that there was a very thirsty women about to jump out at any moment and do things to me.
My name is Slim A Lou, I'm six three, I got brown hair, I'm wearing a skin tight suit, and I am a very pretty man.
"Yyyeeesss." Tiamat hissed lustfully as she watched her soon to be mate from a position in the mountains.
She had already warned the devil guide to not interfere with her mate, she made it quite clear that if he were to even so much as show himself to her mate than he would face the wrath of a dragon king. Tiamat knew that after her mate would come near death a few times but she would make sure none of the more… sympathetic monster would help him.
He was moving through the forest at a good pace given the wounds he sustained, but his blood would attract the more carnivorous monsters in the forest. She would not let them kill him but she might let them get close before she would appear in all her glory and save him.
However.
Tiamat knew that something was wrong with her mate; he was not healing from his wounds as fast as he did when they fought. He felt… incomplete like a dragon without its talons, a tiger without its teeth, or more accrete for her mate, a gun without ammo.
She would need to find a way restore her mate to his original power, only then would he produce desirable offspring, but even now in his incomplete state he was still showing his superiority to any other human. Those wounds would have left any lesser man immobilized and easy to kill. Her mate still had some fight left in him, sure he was down but he would be back up soon and he was all hers.
Some drool started to collect on the front of her jaw as she imagined the things she would do to him. She shook her head to clear her mind of those thoughts. It was not time yet and she knew her mate would be stubborn, and she would probably have to break him. But that's ok she would have a pleasant time putting him back together into the perfect mate. Who knows, she might even turn him into a dragon.
Ok you guy no cliffhanger this time so yea. Quick life update I will be moving right after I graduate from High school so that also means fails are coming up, that intern means that the next update will in all likelihood be in the summer. That does not mean I will stop working on this story if I do end up finishing the next chapter then I will upload it. Ok? ok.
Special thanks to R.O.W for doing dis.
God bless and don't get caught by a dragon in heat R.O.W. knows this from experience don't you.
