Destiny Online: CH2

As Kirito's ship flew through the storms that surrounded the Last Safe City on Earth, it was rocked by powerful strikes of lighting.

"Ghost, what's with this storm? I know that Destiny has a dynamic natural weather and Day/Night system, but this storm seems odd" Ghost then appeared next to him. At first Ghost was paused, like it was processing something.

"Well, that's because this storm is not natural. It is in-fact a sort of barrier generated by the Travelers residual light. It won't stop anything that really wants through from doing so, but it makes is rather difficult for anything not blessed with the light through." Kirito looked to his Ghost, wondering just how strong the barrier was and if anything ever broke through.

"Has anything ever made it passed the barrier?" Ghost looked up and out at the clouds as they raced passed by.

"Once. There was only one time that the City almost fell to the Darkness. The battle of Twilights Gap. All of the Fallen Houses, except for the House of Wolves, united for one attack. If it wasn't for the Iron Lords, and the determination of the Guardians there." Ghost paused and shuddered as he spoke the next part. "Although we won, it was too close. Too many Guardians fell, too many lights snuffed out." Kirito sat back in his seat thinking about what Ghost said.

'This game might just be harder that I thought.'

As their ship passed through the final clouds, the Traveler and all the Towers came into view Ghost perked up. Causing Kirito to look at him.

"Oh my!"

"What?' Kirito asked. Ghost seemed almost exited, the triangles around his body shifting constantly.

"A resurgence! A massive influx of new Guardians, latest reports put it at almost ten thousand new Guardians." As the ship began to begin its approach to the main Tower. Ghost then looked to the Traveler and spoke softly, almost fearfully. "What do you sense on the horizon, what's coming."

"Ghost?" Looking back to his Guardian, Ghost changed the subject.

"Come on, I have the ship on auto-pilot. Let's get you to the Vanguard and into some better gear." Before Kirito could protest he felt the cool tingling sensation of a Transmat before vanishing from the interior of his shuttle.

In a flash of white light Kirito and his Ghost appeared in the courtyard of the Tower, around he could see countless other players, moving around, conversing, even a few in… Dance offs? Kirito shook his head at some of the silly antics he saw.

"And this is the Tower, the main one at least. The Towers act a command centers and homes for all Guardians. With a Resurgence this large we may be able to reopen some of the older abandoned towers."

Nodding in understanding to what his companion said Kirito began moving to the Hall of Guardians and the objectives that were highlighted for his quests.

Walking down through the massive halls, Kirito saw many Guardians of the three classes milling about, and running around checking in with all the Vendors. Ignoring the other players as well as the NPC Guardians and civilians that milled about, Kirito headed towards the Warlock Vanguard Ikora Rey. Seeing the prompt to open the interaction menu with Rey, Kirito approached her and activated it.

The Warlock Vanguard turned to Kirito and began speaking to him, although to others it looked as though she was still leaning over her books and Kirito was just standing still next her. This was so that any number of Guardians could speak with a vendor at once, but still get a somewhat immersive experience.

After getting some better gear and a lead on a Warp Drive for his Jump-Ship, Kirito made his way to the gunsmith: Banchee-44. Once he approached the vendor and the 'interact menu activated Banchee-44 looked to Kirito.

"Haven't I seen you before?" Kirito shook his head, although he did use Banshee's services a lot in the beta the game got reset and all the data from the time deleted.

"No, I don't think so."

Banshee leaned back a bit, optics distant, like he was searching for something. "Damn memory wipes." Looking back to the new Guardian in front of him Banshee put both hands on the table and leaned forward. "So what's a New Spark like you need, asides from a decent firearm?"

Kirito pulled out his Khvostov 7G-02 and showed it to the ancient Exo Gunsmith. "Something like this, just-"

"Better" Banshee cut him off "No offence to your Ghost, but that gun looks like crap. Although there is only so much field work can to restore an ancient firearm." Reaching down Banshee pulled out a newer sleek looking Auto Rifle "The Marshall-A1, a good Auto-Rifle for taking down masses of Fallen, maybe Thrall if the Vanguard ever authorize Moon ops again." Taking the gun from the Exo's hands Kirito checked the stats and accepting it.

Nodding, Kirito turned away and decided to make his way to the Crucible handler, Lord Shaxx to see about a better sword. As he approached the massive man Kirito noticed the hidden quest marker appear 'Sharpening the Light'

"Ah, Guardian. What can the Crucible do for you?" Kirito pulled out his Spinmetal Short Sword and showed it to Lord Shaxx.

"I was wondering if you had anything better than this." The legendary warrior picked up the weapon and began to inspect it and sighed

"The blade is too old now, not much can be done to save it. Not like the Hive swords, honed by centuries of killing and gaining power through their Sword-Logic." Walking behind his desk Shaxx began to look around. "Any particular style you like?" This made Kirito stop and think, he remembered the Relic Iron sword he had in the Beta.

"One handed, but something with good weigh. This Spinmetal is too light for my tastes." Nodding Shaxx pulled out a medium length sword. The hilt was a basic one, the blade had a double-sided curved solid black edge however the center had a purple tint to it.

"A basic Relic-Crystal Sword." Holding the Sword out for Kirito to inspect Shaxx continues. "A good sword; made with a Spinmetal, Relic-Iron composite and infused with Relic-Crystal. What's nice about the Relic-Crystal infused into this blade, is that it gives the blade an ability to channel your Void Light." Taking the sword in hand Kirito gave it a few test swings before trying to focus some of his Light into the blade. After a moment of deep focus, a deep purple glow began to emanate from the core of the sword before fading. "Sadly without a proper core attached to the blade your light can only do so much. Infusion of light conducting material is rather tricky, and results in somewhat lack luster results." Kirito looked back to Shaxx and nodded in understanding. Without a pure material to act as a conductor his light would always have a hard time charging the blade.

Accepting the weapon from Shaxx and closing the encounter Kirito left the Hall of Guardians. Looking out at the Traveler, he found himself drawn to the edge of the Tower and look down into the City below the sleeping God. After a moment Kirifo began to walk towards the hangar to pick up his ship from the Ship Wright, Amanda Holliday. However, before he passed into the hall leading to the hangar he heard someone run up behind him and yell something that caused him to freeze.

"Hey, you're a Beta tester. Right?"

And done. I know my chapters are not the longest right now, but I hope to make them longer and better as the story starts to pick up.

For the Classes the characters pick, I am basing it off of their mentality and appearance in the Anime, although if you all have suggestions I am open to hearing them.

Until Next time, please Read & Review or leave your suggestions for Gear/OC's

See you star side.
