Chapter 3

The Guardian says his goodbyes to Devrim and decides to head for the clearing mentioned via sparrow. Devrim watches from his post as Lawrence crossed the river. "Maybe you won't find a new pack...But there's no hassle in finding a mate, Young Wolf."

EDZ woods.

Lawrence makes twists and turns around the trees taking in the evening light but he could not get the story out of his head.

"Glimmer for your thoughts?" Ghost asked.

"You think their truth to that story?" The hunter asked his ghost.

"Gods are not of uncertain for us as guardians. You should know that more than anyone." Lawrence nods. Crota and Oryx were considered gods by the hive and he slew both.

"But I have never seen anything of an earth god before. I have read some records before I met you but never anything besides the Traveller itself." Ghost went over the collections in his database and found nothing. The conversation ends there but Lawrence comes to the full stop at the something they thought the would never see this far into the woods.

Dead fallen and a trashed Prime Ether Servitor. He gets off the sparrow and sends his ghost out to scan the bodies.

"Did a patrol get to them?" Lawrence guesses it was Guardians or Cabal. Taken would've left scorch marks on the bodies.

"No, the holes it the bodies are not from bullets and the cuts look more like bite marks.

"Wolves then?"

"Maybe but what would take out the Servitor? It does look like something took a huge bite out of it." Ghost was right about the Prime it was missing a whole third of it. Kinda reminded him of the wreckage of Sepiks after his first strike mission.

"Well, whatever attacked it did a favour for us then." The last thing the city needed was a new fallen base in the woods to spread Guardian numbers even further. If it was wolves or some other animal he could deal with them. He gets back on his sparrow and Ghost returns to his pack.

He scans the woods with his helm's optics ahead and saw a crack of light in the dark woods. The sparrow roars to life and Lawrence rides to the clearing. Stopping to take in the sights. "Is that..?

"Wheat." Ghost appears and scans the area. "For wild Wheat, they are in perfect harvest condition."

"Maybe Holo's around?" Lawrence joked as he found a small island in the sea of wheat. Shifting the sparrow into lower speed mode he glided across the wheat. Reaching the spot he decides to finally unload and set up camp. "A campfire would be nice but I rather not risk burning all this Wheat." Lawrence pulls out a heat lantern from the passenger seat of the sparrow. Provides light and Heat. Perfect alternative to a campfire but lacking in the beauty of raging flames.

'Drink, baked goods...Onion buns...perfect.'

Lawrence train of thought was then interrupted to the sound of a Cabal warship flying nearby.

"Red Legion! But this far into the woods...Probably an injection rig to set up an outpost." Ghost informed his Guardian

"And hide it from the vanguard this deep in woods." Lawrence stood back up and check his weapons and ammo.

"I can stop the deployment but I would need the backup to wreck it without dying number of-"

A loud Howl roared throughout the forest startling even the veteran Hunter. "Okay. That sounded much bigger than then a wolf." Ghost said slight shaken. "Come on. Where moving."

"What about back up?"

"It will take too long right?"

Ghost blinked. Lawrence was right, with the walls sensors still getting repaired. Getting a signal out would be hard. He disappears to his pack. "Eyes up guardian." Lawrence then sprints out to the rig leaving the sparrow to recharge.

He manages to reach the Rig and take a snipers position in the trees. "Shields not up yet? I guess they thought that this a blind spot and are feeling confident." Lawrence grinned as it would allow to sneak in and sabotage the Rig to blow. "Ghost, Mark the warhounds and possible sabotage spots."

"Will do."

Ghost marked the warhounds on his hud. He would take them out from this distance to pull the Legionaries away and sneak in. Going into his inventory, he selects his sniper the Borealis and sets the element to solar. Taking in a deep breath and places his finger on the trigger.

The Cabal the stopped what they were doing as the Warhounds started growing in the direction east of them. Curious, the hunter aims his scope to where they were growling. "Guardians?" he whispered.

"Nothing on comms." Ghost answered.

The trees resulted as the Cabal aimed their weapons and began to yell threats in whatever their native tongue was.

Then all hell broke loose...for the Cabal.

A giant wolf the size of a Fallen dropship Dashes out and began outright slaughter them. "By the Traveller!" Ghost said amazed and scared at the same time. Lawrence was shocked to see such beast. He has Been around the wolves at the Iron Temple and those could solo a Fallen captain.

The beasts slaughter the troops to the point the Infiltrator Valus came down to see what was going on!

"She already forces them to send down the Valus?!" Lawrence said noticing that the Injection rig began fire ups it's engines. "They're packing up and leaving!" The Valus notices and shouts at his comms as it fends off the wolf with its Gatling Gun and stasis rockets.

The rockets only slowed it down for mere seconds and the gun didn't have much luck due to the beast zig-zagging throwing of its aim off.

"It's going to!"

The wolf then leaps in and chomps down on the Valus's head crushing through the shields and killing it. "Bite it's head off…" Ghost said disgust. Lawrence was amazed, even at his best it would take two or three revives to take down a crew and a Valus. "What are you?" he mumbled studying it from his sniper's position as it spits out the head of the Cabal. "I guess the suit fluids leave a bad taste" Ghost said.

The wolf then sniffs the air…

"Hey, you don't think it can…."

It looks directly in their direction as if it was looking at Lawrence through his own scope.

"...Smell us…"

It then makes a dash at the Hunter. "RUN!"

"Don't have to tell me twice!" Lawrence jumps down from the tree and makes a sprint away from it.

"Ghost any time now!" he wondered where was the sparrow. "Hey remember how we are out of sensory range."

"Shit" he cursed as that meant they were out of Transmatt range he can't call his ship or summon the sparrow. He just needed to head back to clearing for the sparrow and ride out. A blur dashes by and the beast gets in front of him. Without stopping he pulls out a grappling hook and fires passed it, it lands in a taller tree. It pulls him past the wolf into the trees. There was a brief moment during the pull where he looked directly into the beasts deep red eyes. He then lands on the branches and pulls the hook out the bark. Drawing the Last Word he turns to face the Giant Wolf. It wasn't bearing its teeth but it was staring at him intently but the chase resumed as he jumped from tree to tree. He kept to the trees using his triple jumps and Blinks. The wolf kept right on his cape below, he was nearing the clearing. But that meant he was running out of trees. Looks like he was going to need ward off the beast to reach his sparrow.

Coming on the last tree he backflips off and crosses his arms engulfing his body in Solar light. Solar infuse knives appeared in his hands. Blade barrage was ready as he landed on his feet facing the wolf.
The wolf stops a few feet away from him and they both stare down each other. Hunter and beast waiting for one to make their move. Staring at the Hunter currently radiating a strange flame narrows its eyes at him. Not to scare him but more of study. "What are you doing?" Ghost asked but got no answer. Lawrence stood his ground, Stared down the face of Crota so he wasn't scared of the beast. This was more of a warning, You'd normally warded off predators with a flame. Solar flames are brighter so hopefully, it had the same effect but if it didn't. A couple of explosive solar knives would leave a much better expression…

The wolf at the blades and back at him. Then looking to the wheat field behind him before staring back at him. It blinks and...runs off back into the forest shocking the Hunter. "Did it let us go?" Ghost asked. Lawrence held still for a few extra moments before dispelling his super. "I guess it did…"

"Should we retreat and report to the Vanguard? I can summon the sparrow from here."

The Hunter shook his head. "So what ARE we going to do?" Ghost ask slightly concerned.

"Camp."

Authors note: I keep forgetting to add these notes at the end sorry for the updating. Anywho for people who are wondering about cannon of this crossover. this is more of a fusion of both source material story's. Since Destiny's genre is Sci Fi AND Fantasy, I figured it could yes Holo would be alive for MUCH Longer than a few hundred of years but I will get to that. Lawrence would be born around during the Golden age and die during the collapse so thats Explains why he would be a guardian. Hopefully ,that would help clear things up. As always Leave some feedback! or don't I am not the boss of anyone.
