Okay, here we go!
First, before we get started I just want to clarify something about OC's. Even though I may say they have reported in, I can't guarantee they won't have more than a chapter or two of appearances. I will use each OC at least once, whether it is for PvP events or in the Nightfall/Raids, I cannot guarantee.
Tailsfan2012: Guardian Fox had not yet officially reported to Cayde-6. Currently [O] is working with –Redacted- to supply the new Guardians with reinforcements. Stand by for additional information related to IKELOS protocols.
Lon35hadow: Lone Shadow has not yet reported to Cayde-6. Currently on standby for possible activation of IKELOS protocols.
HolyKnight5: Interesting. Very interesting.
Silent Howl: Good to have you on board.
Ice: Exo's are based on Humans, both in mind (Literally) and body. Exo's are even said to be highly diverse in features, just like humans. So while they won't change much, Exo faces will change just slightly.
MrCraken: Guardian Craken-42 has reported to Cayde-6. And the SGA will be receiving a software update.
KuramaFTW: Exotics will fallow game-play mechanics according to the phase of the game although there will be some limited OC exotics, also this is where some SAO mechanics will come in. As for Xur, the Nine seem to be aligned with [O] so there, and by extension Xur's, rolls will remain the same. And as for weapons such as the G-Horn, I plan on balancing the Exotics a bit better than Bungie did. No "Instant Win Button" in this game. Period.
On to the Story.
Destiny Online Chapter 5
Kirito was standing in a large open courtyard on Tower-052. In his hand were two objects rapped in tin-foil. Letting out a sigh, he walked towards a water feature, leading into a pond full of coy fish. Sitting near the pond was the Hunter, Asuna, his current fireteam partner. Taking a seat next to her he held out one of the wrapped objects.
"Here. While it has no stat-effects it still tastes good and gives a sense of reality." After a moment she reached up and took the object. Satisfied, Kirito opened his and unveiled a burrito. "American game, typical American favorites." Taking a bite, he enjoyed the sensation of eating something. Even though he knew it wasn't real, it still helped him focus on something. Glancing to his side, Kirito noticed Asuna was just staring at her food. "Common. It may not be perfect but it tastes really good."
"Guardians don't need to eat." Was her simple reply. Kirito stared blankly at her.
"Well, yah. But it helps people keep a sense of reality. Also it kind of make this place a bit more real in our minds."
"But it's not real!" The Hunter yelled while standing and throwing the still wrapped burrito on the ground. "I don't care if eating makes this feel more like reality, because it's not!" Kirito began to stand and reach out to try and calm his fireteam member. "I didn't come here to eat food and have fun, I came here to prove this game couldn't beat me and to get home." Kirito lowered his arm as Asuna turned away from him, tears brimming in her eyes. A sudden 'wosh' from Kirito made the cloaked hunter spin back to him. She notices that he had opened his ghost, she was about to speak up afraid he would disband the Fireteam and leave her alone.
"I'm taking us to orbit. I hoped for some down time before the group up tomorrow after noon, but let's head out on patrol." His response surprised her. "We should learn how each other operates. Considering the Crucible PvP arena is still closes, exploring Old Russia will be our best bet." Asuna had half expected him to up and leave her for her outburst, instead he decided to try and learn how she plays and begin formulating a team plan. Before Asuna could contemplate more she felt the weightlessness of transmat.
Kirito watched as the clouds parted as his jump-ship roared through the atmosphere, the shuttering from turbulence the only noise accompanying him. Looking out to his left he saw Asunas ship flying next to him. At the moment they were heading into orbit, then down to Old Russia to level up and learn how to work together. His mind wondered to her outburst in the tower, while he expected it from some of the rookies. Kirito could never have imagined a reaction from a veteran player, even if this was their first shooter. Seeing they were finally in orbit he opened a video com-link to his fireteam member. After a moment a screen popped up showing her in the cockpit of her ship.
"Okay." Kirito began. "We are heading down to the Cosmodrome to run some public event and learn each other's play style." Seeing her nod once, Kirito opened the navigation menu and selected the Cosmodrome. Once the quadrants were locked in he felt his ship accelerate, seeing the com-window open Kirito saw that Asuna wasn't exactly enjoying the feeling of her ships movement. "Next time we are at the tower I'll take you to see Amanda Holliday, the Shipwright. She may have a ship with inertial-dampeners, that'll make your ride a little smother." Seeing her give a small smile told him that she would enjoy that, especially once a patch of turbulence made her grimace just a tad.
Landing in the Cosmodrome was uneventful, the spawn zone being safe from the forces of Darkness. Lading zones were generally safe spots, as safe as combat zones could be. Once his feet hit the ground Kirito scanned the area with his auto rifle making sure that no Public Events were going on. A flash behind him told that his fireteam partner had landed, and like his last one she fell right on her butt. Sighing, the warlock turned and extended a hand to his Hunter companion.
Looking up from her sitting position Asuna took Kiritos hand and pulled herself up. "Thnaks."
"No problem" was Kirito's reply. Popping out his Ghost Kirito notices that numerous Tower Beacons are splayed about the Delta South area. Before the pair of Guardians begin their trek a Kirito's Ghost pops up.
"Incoming emergency transmission from the Divide"
"This is Guardian Kurama to any available friendlies." The crack of four Sniper rounds is heard fallowed by a chorus of explosions. "Damn. I'm engaging a Fallen Nobel Walker in the Divide and I could use some back up!" A droning roar comes over the link preceding a small poof then a large explosion "Damn it. I'm pinned on a roof and I need immediate support."
"Oh, that sounds bad. It's your call Guardians." Ghost says
Kirito and Asuna looked to each other before nodding. Kirito reached up and tapped the side of his helmet. "This is Guardians Kirito and Asuna. We are on our way to your position."
"Oh thank god. You'd better hurry up, the event almost over." Kurama replied before a cry of a Fallen Vandal cause the link to be cut.
Kirito looked to Asuna. "We don't have much time. Do you have your Sparrow?" She looks down and shakes her head. Letting out a sigh Kirito pulls out his and summons his speeder bike. Climbing on Kirito offers a hand out to his partner. "We need to move fast, hop on." Grasping his hand Asuna is pulled on to the back of Kiritos Sparrow "Hold tight." Reacting quickly Asuna barely has time to hold his waist before he takes off.
After racing through Dock 13, the Sparrow holding Kirito and Asuna races out of the abandoned dock. Looking up the two Guardians see a large Fallen Walker. Surrounded by a small army of Fallen. 'Great' Kirito thinks before accelerating to the building with two large exhaust vents on the roof. Out of the corner of his eye Kirito sees the Walker rotate its turret as it unleashes a salvo of Arc bolts at him. Luckily his speeder is fast enough to avoid the blasts. As they approach the vents he notices a small red laser pointing right at them. Kirito's eyes widen, he instantly accelerates. A droning noise comes from the walker then a small poof. Just like the Arc bolts the Sparrow is too fast for a direct hit, but the blast form the Walkers main gun is enough to severely damage the speeder.
"Guardian, the Sparrows core took too much damage, its going critical." Ghost Calles out to his partner. Grunting Kirito pushes the speeder to its max as the Walker opens up with its Arc Mini-gun. Making it behind the vents Kirito yells to Asuna
"Jump!"
Both Guardians leap off of the Sparrow as it continues to accelerate before erupting in a large explosion.
"That's new." Kirito calmly mentions. "Usually its only turbo boost Sparrows that do that." Both Guardians edged forward around the vents, coming around to the front they noticed the Walker was slightly shifting around the opening. Surrounding the massive tank were about 20 or 30 Fallen, mainly Dregs and Vandals but a few Captains and Shanks thrown into the mix. Looking up the pair saw another Hunter across the way holding a snipper rifle.
"Glad to see you made it" Kurama's voice came over the com, glint of light showed her use of her snipers scope. "These guys are harder than they used to be." The crack of four snipper shots rang out fallowed by a small explosion from the armor plating on one of the Walker's legs failing. "But the classic strategy still works."
The Tank gave out a wail as it fell to the ground and the head shifted forward, exposing the power core, glowing orange and red. Seeing this Kirito looked to Asuna then back to the exposed glowing core and began to fire. Seeing this Asuna quickly followed suit and unloaded her Hand cannon. After a short few seconds Arc energy began to build up around the Walker before pulsing out as the head redacted and the tank stood back up. Seeing the 3 Guardians the Nobel Walker turned to face Kirito and Asuna as its turret turned to face Kurama. The mini-gun under the head opened fire on the pair while the Arc bolt launcher sent a burst to the solo Hunter, forcing them all into cover. Seeing its prey move into cover, the massive machine turned back to the annoyance that shattered one of its legs and opened fire with all of its weapons.
Seeing this Kirito switched his Secondary to a sniper. "We'll trade off, keep shifting the tanks agro between the two of us" he spoke to Asuna and over the Comm's
"Sounds good!" Kurama yelled over the constant explosions.
"Be warned Guardians" Kiritos Ghost began "The Fallen are almost finished down there, we need to destroy this thing fast!" Without further thinking Kirito and Asuna began unloading on one of the legs of the Walker before it too exploding and exposing the core again.
The two sets of Guardians continued this plan, taking turns on pulling agro of the Devil Walker while the other group whittled down its legs. Each time the Walkers yellow health bar lowered by an eighth.
30.0 Seconds!
Kirito saw that they were running out of time, they didn't have the time to destroy another leg. The Tanks only had a sliver of health left.
"Cover me!" He yelled.
Racing out Kirito leaped in to the air. Throwing his rifle to the side he reared his arm back and focused his Light. Asuna was a Blade Dancer and couldn't use her super, and he felt Kurama was the same seeing as she never used a Golden Gun. Extending his hand forward he released a large ball of Void Energy, a Nova Bomb, the Voidwalker Supercharge! Pulling his hand across his chest and swinging it forward he let out a smaller ball of Void energy raced out, a Vortex Grenade. Combined the two spheres exploded on contact with the walker, but instead of dispersing they created two spheres of Void energy, continuing to damage the Tank.

And, I planned to make this one longer but I decided I needed to upload something now. Hopefully I'll be back sooner than later.
I still have the poll up on my profile so please check that out.
As always. Until Next time, please Read & Review or leave your suggestions for Gear/OC's
