Allow me to redeem myself from last time, cya at the end I guess oh and I should probably mention Ben's path will be revealed here. :3
After getting knocked on my ass and forced to watch my friend die i didn't think it would get much worse but it did.
It got much worse.
Sitting there in shock, staring at the place where Jav stabbed the thrall and ended his own life to save mine I thought back to how we met and everything that had happened up until this part.
Before the tears can even form more thrall appear from the darkness in front of me but this time I'm not running, this time I will BURN THEM ALL.
I yell at them and feel heat raising around me, flames forming around my arms and legs.
I feel stronger...
I thrust my hand forward, sending a wave of flames, burning the ones in front to ashes.
"Hehehe" I start to giggle...
I charge forward sending flames into there ranks burning as many as I can
I grab on by the neck, slowly burning it and put it close to my face, "Want to die?" I ask blankly and turn him to ash.
I turn back around and see nothing but ashes and a destroyed tunnel.
"Jav sealed this place off to save us and in reality he just dug our graves"
As my flames slowly go away I use the last of it to make a fusion grenade and send it flying at the wall, sending rubble and flames everywhere.
Walking down the tunnel swiftly I see orbs of light on the ground and think how Jav made these to give us a chance.
I go near one of them and it disappears into me, giving me strength and energy.
I collect all of them inside me feeling refreshed and powered.
"I will make it out of here alive cuz if I don't his sacrifice will be in vain, and if I let that happen then I don't deserve to live."
Walking up and out of the tunnel I can see the platform we landed on but this time there's no enemies.
"Strange..."
I walk slowly against the wall looking up at the earth and the ledge our ships are on.
The sound of huge metal doors opening got my attention and I duck behind a pile of mined onyx.
"...all I'm saying is...and then we should...but only if..."
Straining to hear more i peek out from the rocks and see two floating hive... Wizards and one having a feminine voice... The same voice that made the White Knight.
The other one sounding more like a old man and it seems like he's trying to reason with her.
"Tell me old man" she says "Do you pledge your aligence to Crota or Oryx"
He fumbles to get the words out "C-C-Crota"
"Wrong answer" she states and raises her hand up.
The White Knight stands tall, looming over the other two.
When did he get here? I think
"Now die for your treachery" she points at him and the Knight raises it's sword high into the air bringing it down on the old man with one swift arc.
She turns to leave and the Knight starts to follow her when I try to see where they're going I fall out of my hiding place with a loud "OOF"
They both turn around and the Witch screeches and the Knight charges at me.
"Well I guess we're fighting then" I say and rush the Knight.
He drags his sword on the ground running at me and he brings it up to strike but before he can I run up the blade and stand on his shoulder with his head between me.
"DIE" I yell while firing a few rounds into his head before jumping off leaving a grenade attached to his face.
He yells in pain as a mini sun forms around his face burning the skin off his face before he can back away.
He glares at me with one eye while the other two eyes are now charred holes in his head.
He roars and charges at me again while swinging his sword from the left to cut me in half and I smirk thinking this is so easy.
I jump it and fire more rounds into him from my hand cannon watching him rear back in pain.
I rush him and raise my hand to thrust out ward lighting him ablaze with flames causing a pain-filled screech to echo the through the tunnels.
I jump at him again and get back-handed by his large fist , landing on my side and skidding to the edge of the hellmouth.
Before I can do anything else two clawed hands wrap around my neck and choke me.
Her hissing face is all I can see as I try to with no luck to pry them off me and her laughter echoes through my bones, causing me to shudder.
Seeing spots dancing around my eyes I realize the end is near.
Struggling to reach the last grenade on my belt she chokes harder glaring at me.
"You will die here guardian for harming my precious experiment" she says.
As I lost my breath and felt my arms go limp.
She dropped me on the ground and I looked up at her and the knight behind me.
He raised his sword up and brought it down on my left arm severing it off and dragging the blade through my body cutting it in half as I yell then pass out from the pain.
Darkness...
Why is it so dark...
Am I dead?...
But Jav he...
Did I fail...
Did they kill me...
Why is it so cold and dark...
Someone please help me...
I don't wanna die yet...
Please...
Help...
"Wake up Ben"
Lynx?...
"Yes it's me now channel the power of the sun, focus it on the darkness and make a light."
The sun?...
A flame...
Just then I feel warmth and a flames circle my dead body, melding it back together healing it and sprouting wings of flames.
"Wings?"
The Witch and Knight turn back around to see Ben flying up out of the hellmouth and on a ledge.
"My ship..."
I struggle to crawl into the cockpit and turn on the autopilot.
"To earth" I say before passing out again.
-darkness-
"Wake up Ben" Lynx says floating next to my shoulder.
"Where am I?" I ask trying to sit up
A firm and delicate hand pushes me back down "you can't move to much yet" the nurse says as I realize I'm in a hospital bed.
She walks out of the room and a blue haired girl runs in.
"BEN!" She yells and tackles me in my head rubbing my head against her bust and making me blush a deep shade of red as I push her off.
"WHY ARE YOU HERE?" I yell
"Cause I heard you were back" she says simply
"Why would that matter?"
"Well for starters you are now apart of my fireteam"
"What?"
"Well you're a newb, you're weak, and you need serious training if you want to kill whatever killed you."
"I..."
She leans forward and lightly kisses my cheek and hops off, and leaves.
I can't even process what just happened before Ikora walks in.
"Guardian why have we not gotten the report back from Javael?"
A wave of sadness over takes me as I look down at my lap.
"Guardian Javael died in the line of duty protecting me..."
Her eyes widen a bit and she sits down in one of the chairs.
"That was unfortunate... I'm sorry for your loss."
"He did his job and what we saw is what killed me"
She glares at me "What do we have to kill to get revenge?"
I glare back "A female wizard sacrificed two Knights and a pile of rotting flesh in the room specified to make a huge white knight."
"I engaged this knight in battle and loss." I state
Her eyes narrow "We will avenge Javael but first we need to know more, I suggest training with Stacie and her fireteam. They are training hard for a tournament event known as iron banner."
"She has already requested you to be on her fireteam because she sees potential in you, I suggest doing this and when iron banner is over the winning fireteam will make the raid on Oryx, if you want revenge then get stronger and take your revenge on Oryx."
She stands up and leaves me with that.
"Oryx..." I say while gripping the bedsheets. "You're going down."
So yea that's it for now and I've already decided what's gonna happen with this, and to be honest I'm very excited to see what you guys think of it so far and what you think will happen next. Last thing ima say is that next chapter will be shorter then the others but will still be good.
