Bionic's PoV
Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit! Was all I could think at the moment. I was now trapped in between a goblin with my gun and a bunch of angry fallen. This is not going to end well. And then the goblin moved.
First, it was just it's head, scanning the room for anything else. Then, its arms and legs. It moved the gun into a battle ready position, and then walked to the cave entrance. Once the fallen walked around the corner and say the goblin, they stopped. The shock of watching a human run into the cave, and a goblin walk out is a strange sight indeed.
Before anyone could make a move, the goblin moved with speeds even I would be spectacle about, jumping to higher ground and using my scout rifle to begin picking the vandals off. It was amazing to watch, the goblin jumping around like that and fighting like a well-trained hunter. And to top it off, it was my gun that was causing the damage, which made me feel sort of proud of myself, until I realized that I might be next.
I began to back up to the rear wall, hoping to vanish from the goblin's line of sight and, hopefully, his memory. But that was too much to hope for wasn't it. The vex hive mind never forgets anything, and share memories between each other, which means every vex now knows I'm here.
I began to prepare for the worst, the inevitability of my death, as there was no way I would be able to kill something that powerful in my weakened condition. I reached the back wall and crouched down. A hunters stalker ability would be invaluable right now. I just stood there in the corner for a couple of seconds, and then seconds turned into minutes. I was wondering why my abilities were not working, and wondering when the goblin would notice that the guardian he cornered was missing. I was answered by the goblin turning around and walking strait at me. I cursed the traveler for abandoning me at the moment I needed it the most, and began to stand. Maybe I could at least damage it's movement functions to help others stand a better chance of surviving encounters with this monster of metal and death.
I raised my knife and entered a battle stance, ready to die the way every guardian expects to die, in battle. The goblin walked up and stood right in front of me, and than did the last thing I expected.
It kneeled down, offered me my gun, and said "It is done, my lord".
My lord I thought, and immediately looked behind me, looking for some massive vex god, ready to sacrifice me to whatever cause they had. But there was nothing behind me but the wall that I had backed into.
I carefully reached forward and took my gun from its hands, which released the rifle to me and then returned to it't sides. It then stood up, pulled a slap rifle out of what appeared to be thin air, and then stood at attention, awaiting its orders.
Very confused, I simply walked away from it. I decided to write up a full report of the mission when I returned to the tower, but for now, I just needed to relax. I checked my HUD for the time, and realized that an hour and twelve minutes had passed. Where was the other guardian that I had contacted? Where was every other guardian that was stationed to patrol here? I could answer neither of these at the moment, but what I did know was that the goblin was following me. A vex, right next to me, but I couldn't bring myself to shoot it. It saved my life back in that cave, and now I couldn't just end his, even if it was artificial or against the guardian code of law to leave any of these things alive and free.
It wasn't the first time this happened, though. I don't believe it happened with the vex before, but guardians have worked with minions of the darkness before, if only for a tactical advantage over others. The cabal are common allies against the vex, and the fallen against the hive, but never has a guardian fought alongside a vex or hive member, as they were thought to be the very essence of evil and hatred. But if that was true, than why am I this goblins "lord"? Why does he worship me like I was his king? I hope I never find out, if only to spare me the horror of being corrupted by the darkness.
