Hello, Taikonaut here, and I have another chapter! This time, Marcole and Daniel escape the Cosmodrome. Meanwhile, Sensō finally gets to the big(and only)inhabited city! Yeah, quick sum.
Anyways, did anyone get Sleeper? Because I sure didn't! RNG didn't give me the dark age relics.(sigh)
Sorry DYnoJackal19, but I'm sure you can think of better ideas than mine! You just got to believe!
Edit: I have created translations to what Rasputin said. Nothing he says is really spoilers, so I should've done this earlier.
I do not own Destiny or anything else owned by Bungie/Activision.
Chapter 4: The Great Journey
Daniel's POV
I carried some sort of large cube and put it right behind Rasputin's controls. I say on it and pressed a button.
"Alright, Rasp, one final touch and you're ready to run,"
"Когда вы выходите, вернуться, чтобы открыть массив."(When you get out, come back to open the array)
I chuckled. "I'm not even gone and you already want me to come back. I guess being a powerful A.I. all alone listening to ballet over and over again must really be tough,"
"По крайней мере я не слушал этого барахла, что ваши предки слушали."(Atleast I don't listen to that junk your ancestors listened to)
"Ok, ok. Sheesh," I replied while I started to start find Rasputin's last bug.
Hours later...
Yawn. Where am I? Oh, right. I fell asleep on Rasputin's controls while drooling. If I were someone else I probably would've been electrocuted right now.
"Sorry Rasp. I fixed that bug, didn't I?"
"Да. Тогда вы начали пускать слюни на моих управления."(Yes. Then you started drooling on my controls)
"So the great Warmind of old is bothered by a little saliva?" I heard no response. I grinned.
I got up and started stretching. Man, it feels so good after sitting on a "chair" for hours!(Don't tell me you haven't been through that) After that I looked at the crates of food.
"I'm going to start packing up now. You be good while I'm gone, alright? I better not see any corpses near your bunkers,"
I grabbed a bag I hid under the crates and started shoving food and water in there. I took one more thing: an old, arc fusion rifle Rasputin let me have. It's nothing like his death-rays from old, but it was good at taking down captains.
I snuck towards Marcole. I shook him with a hand on the shoulder.
"Hey. Wake up," I saw him slowly open his eyes. I could see the cold, bright yellow.
"Come on. We're leaving," I said. I helped him up as he stared at me with his blank expression.
"I think I know where my ship is," he said. I nodded, and I led him to the exit of the bunker. Goodbye, Bunker Ras-2!
As we exited, I noticed it was barely bright out. Huh. There goes my sleeping schedule.
"Hey, do you remember where you parked?" I asked. He nodded.
As we quietly backtracked towards Marcole's ship to avoid the Fallen, I pulled out my fusion rifle.
"Better safe than sorry," Marcole nodded again, this time moving his right hand towards his side.
As we approached his parking spot, I quickly dragged him into a nearby bush. Right there and then, was a baron. And a crew. Searching the insides of Marcole's ship. I couldn't tell that much, but I'm pretty sure Marcole was at least a little upset.
"We need to find a way to get them off," I said. "Let's see if we can kill his crew first. Does your side arm have good range?" I asked.
"Decent. But it should have enough to kill some of those dregs. I'm used to encountering crews much larger than this," I nodded.
I saw him aim his sidearm, carefully trying to land a headshot. I saw his fingers move and the next thing I heard was the sound of a Fallen soul being released. He quickly ducked down behind the bush to make sure the baron didn't see him. He repeated his killing process up to 6 times.
"Are all of them dead?"
"Except the baron,"
I gave him a signal to attack, and as soon as he nodded we both sprang from the bushes and charged. The baron, confused and surprised, got stunned by Marcole's sidearm. The baron's shields managed to go down, and I charged my fusion rifle to finished the job. My weapon charged slowly, but had great impact.
I saw Marcole quickly rush to his ship. "Get in!" He yelled. I nodded just as I heard more Fallen from behind me. I sprinted and managed to cram into his ship. I heard him give a grunt.
"I'm missing my Warp Drive, but we can still fly," he said. The ship started hovering, and we flew away as fast as we can.
As we flew, he asked me a question. "Alright, where's the city?"
I thought for a moment, remembering years ago when i asked my parents the same thing.
"Should be South-West of here. I don't know the exact coordinates, but I'm sure this is the general direction. If you open your radio, if I'm right, we should contact either another guardian or the city itself,"
"Alright. Thanks. My ship is designed for fast speed, so it should take us about how 45 minutes," he said. "You should go rest. You woke up earlier than me,"
And I did as he told instantly.
Sensō's POV
"...nsō? Oh, great, not this again," I heard. My vision cleared up and saw Sentinel staring at me.
"What's up?"
"We're near the city,"
"Finally! Maybe I'll actually meet normal people," I said.
"Who're you calling weird?" I heard from a speaker. Oh, yeah, Andrew.
"I never said you were weird," I replied with a chuckle.
I heard a sigh from the intercom. "Alright passengers, we are near the Last City, I hope you enjoyed flight 743,"
I felt the ship slowing down and descend. "I'll let your ghost take you out," I heard. I felt the strange dissolving feeling again.
I felt everything black out. My vision was still clearing out since I'm still not used to the whole teleporting thing. When my vision finally got better, I saw something that just amazed me.
A city. Not the cold, abandoned city that I was stuck in, but a city that looked like it was full of life. The sky was different, too. A bright blue that I never seen before.
Then I saw it. A great white orb in the sky that seemed to glow. But it glowed faintly. Dark scars were visible near the bottom, as if it were torn apart. It was silent and seemed inactive.
"That right there is the Last City, the only place we have left. The only thing the Traveler can still reach," I heard from Sentinel, who was right behind me. He nudged me as if to grab my attention. I turned around and saw something similar to a town center.
"This is the Tower, home of the guardians," he said. I saw to my right a red booth with a blue man talking to someone wearing a piece of cloth on their hip. Just like mine. Near them, three pillars with screens on them were on. And to the left of that, a bigger booth with a strange un-exo like robot was giving something to someone with a cloak.
"Follow me. I'll take you to the Vanguard. They'll tell you everything you need to know for now," Sentinel said as he floated towards a set of stairs that went downwards. I followed him as he like he told me to.
Down the stairs, I saw a weird lady that was wearing brown. She was holding a green orb with a rock in it. I paid no attention to what she was saying and kept walking. I also passed a bulky man with fur around his neck and a horn on his helmet.
I kept walking and saw my ghost talk to a man. He had light blue skin and was wearing bulky armor like the other person I passed. I also saw a light blue exo with a cloak and a human with a purple robe. As I walked closer to their table, the light blue man nodded and my ghost floated back to me.
"This is Sensō. I found him in Old Japan. We were attacked when we were saved by a warlock," Sentinel explained. The light blue man looked at us.
"Attacked? There shouldn't be any Fallen in the area unless they started taking it over," he said.
"We were attacked by the Hive," Sentinel replied. Everyone looked at him.
"The Hive? Here? On Earth?" the human asked. She looked very worried. My ghost only nodded.
She looked like if someone just died. "We'll have to tell other guardians this later," she said.
The other two nodded, all of them focusing on me now. The blue man started talking. "For now, let's focus on you. I can already tell that you're a titan. Ghost-" "Sentinel," "Right, Sentinel, you were attacked by the Hive, right? Did you defend yourselves?"
I nodded myself. "Yes,"
"Then you must know what kind of Titan you are, right?"
That question stumped me, but Sentinel took over. "According to what I saw, he's a Sunbreaker," I could see the look of worry on the blue man's face at the sound of "sunbreaker."
"Are you sure that he's from before the Traveler created guardians?"
"I'm sure of it,"
The blue man pondered for a minute. He looked at me. "Guardian, can you summon the hammer?" He asked.
"How?" I asked.
"Just try to get that same feeling you got when we were in trouble," Sentinel said.
I tried to, and thought of that time. The time we were in trouble, when we were sure we would get swarmed. Then I remembered that figure. The white divine figure that handed me the hammer. I remembered the warm feeling of the flames the hammer produced.
"It can't be," I heard from the blue man. Everyone was looking at my right arm. I lifted my hand and saw the same hammer from before.
"This is amazing! A guardian somehow obtaining the Hammer of Sol without going through the tests," the blue man walked towards me and held out a hand.
"I am Commander Zavala, the Titan Vanguard. Welcome to the tower, guardian,"
I smiled as I shook his hand.
How did you like this chapter! Yeah. I really don't have anything to say right now.
Anyone catch the Halo reference?
