What's up guys Diamond here bringing the fourth chapter of this story. I have been reading other fanfics and playing Destiny a bit more so that I could keep things fresh in the story for me. I have even forgotten that in the Guardians can use their Abilities as much as they want to in any situation. There are also some situations in the future that will be determined in what's to come in later chapters. My characters will also handle situations differently than a regular guy or regular Guardian. I will also be putting a LOT of silliness and a lot of serious if not dark situations. And swords will have unlimited ammo since they are swords but can disappear into its handle whenever the Guardian wants it to. Now on to the story.

Diamond POV
An alarm started ringing rather annoyingly. "I'm up!" I yelled as I fell off the bed. "That could have gone better." Said Cole as I was getting off the floor. "Yeah it could have." I said to my Ghost. "We should go and meet the rest of the people who work at the Tower" Cole said as I was getting dressed in some regular clothes which included a black shirt with black pants and boots with a black and red jacket to finish it off. "Yeah we should. Who do we have left to meet?" I said to Cole. "The Speaker, Banshee-44 who is the Tower Gunsmith, Master Rahool the Tower's Cryptarch, and you really didn't meet Amanda just said some things and she left." Cole told me as I started making some breakfast. "By the way Cole, what time is it?" I asked Cole. "It is currently 5:14 right now." Cole told me as I started making waffles. "Ok good, I could possibly go to the shooting range before a lot of people wake up." I said. "There is most likely a bunch of Hunters there since they wake up the earliest." Said Cole. "Really? What time do they usually wake up?" I asked. "Well Hunters, due to what they are, wake up at the same time you do, Titans wake up usually at 6:30 to 7:00, and Warlocks at 7:00 as well." My Ghost informed me. "Well I guess I can get in some more shooting before the others then." I said as I finished up my breakfast and headed out the door to my room.
I arrived a few minutes later to the gun range. It had a few people in it, mainly Hunters. I went to an empty aisle and picked up the gun used for the shooting range. As I was setting up the targets I decided to listen to some music while I shoot targets. I picked the song I liked and waited for the targets to pop up.
-(Enter in Kyotovania by SharaX) -
The targets started popping up in the form of different enemies, like Fallen to Cabal, and I shot them in their respective weak points, like the Vex's midsection to the Cursed Thrall in the middle of a group of enemies. When the practice ended a couple of seconds later my score appeared. "Wow dude, you got the top list of scores in the beginner division!" A Hunter said as he walked up looking at my score. "Oh, uh thanks." I said surprised at that fact. "Yeah you did pretty good on the targets, by the way what are you because I've never seen you around here before?" the Hunter questioned. "Oh, sorry about that I'm a new Guardian, Titan class. Name's Diamond by the way." I told the Hunter. "Titan, damn you sure are up early for one and a pretty good shot as well. And the name's Brandon, Brandon Seigward." Said the now introduced Brandon. "Nice to meet you Brandon." I said to him. "Same to you Diamond." He said back to me. "I'm also a part of Fireteam Zulu 14, along with Sarah who is a Titan and Caiti who is a Warlock." Said Brandon. "Nice, I'm not in a Fireteam yet, but I'm probably going solo for a while. But if I find something giant that I can't handle I'll be sure to give y'all a call if your nearby." I said to Brandon. "Alright then, I don't think I have to worry about you from far away though since you seem to be a good sharpshooter. And you seem to have everything under control by yourself so ok. Good luck man and see you later." Said Brandon as he walked away. "Alright see yah man." I said to him. "Looks like someone is making friends." Said Cole in my head. Oh, shut up I thought to Cole. I started to leave the gun range and make my way to the main part of the courtyard at the top of the Tower. Hey Cole, can you put on my armor? I asked Cole in my mind "Sure thing Diamond." Said Cole inside my head. After a short glow my armor appeared on my body.
I arrived into the courtyard to find very little traffic as most people were still waking up. I started heading towards the observatory that the Speaker is usually at. I arrive there to see the Speaker just getting there as well. "Hey Speaker!" I yelled out to him. "Oh, I didn't expect for someone to be here this early." The Speaker said as I walked up to him. "Sorry, I usually wake up early, but I came to meet you before I head out to search for a SNL Drive for my ship." I told him. "Well I'm glad that you took time out of your morning to meet me." The Speaker said gladly. "Alright, I'm trying to meet up with everyone before I head out, but see you later Speaker." I said as I started heading out. "And my name is Diamond by the way!" I yelled out to the Speaker before I headed to the courtyard. I then met everyone else and transmatted into my ship as I headed to the Cosmodrome.
Zamon POV
I was patrolling the Steppes like usual when I saw a familiar ship come in to a Guardian patrol zone. I wonder what he is doing here? No matter I might as well greet him. I thought to myself as I started walking to the landing zone.
Diamond POV
I transmatted out of my ship to find a Fallen Captain right there in front of me. "Uhm hi?" I said in surprise. "Hello there Guardian, it has been a while since we last spoke." Said the Captain. "I remember you now, you were the Captain that dragged the clumsy one away." I said as I relived the memory in my head. "Yes, he was just promoted to Captain and wanted to prove himself." Said the Captain. "Anyway, my name is Diamond, what's yours?" I said to the Captain. "Zamon, my name is Zamon." Said the newly identified Captain. "Well it's nice to meet you Zamon!" I said with enthusiasm. "And to you as well Diamond." Said Zamon calmly. "Anyway, I have to find a SNL Drive for my ship if I am to break orbit." I explained to Zamon, telling him what my reason is for being here. "Yes, I have seen this 'SNL Drive' you are looking for, one is with my Kell." Zamon explained to me. "Well how do I get it from him then?" I asked Zamon. "You will have to kill him for it, then you can have it. He will bring multiple Fallen with him though. He is currently in Dock 13" Zamon told me. "Why are you helping us?" Cole asked as he appeared on my shoulder. "Because, Little Light, I actually believe you two can get rid of the Darkness. I have seen many things yet you two are the ones that have surprised me so far." Zamon explained. "Wow, that's surprising to hear." I said dumbfounded by Zamon's answer. "Wait are you ok with me killing your Kell?" I asked Zamon. "Yes." Zamon said immediately. "Ok then." I simply said. "Thank you Zamon." I said to Zamon when I left for Dock 13.
One Boss Battle Later
"Fucking finally!" I yelled as we recovered the SNL Drive. Time to head home and get some rest. "I'm relaying what you have done to the Vanguard and footage of you killing the Kell along with it." Cole said. "Oh, and can you tell him about that friendly Fallen Captain that we met?" I asked. "Sure thing sending him data now." Cole said. "Alright let's head home!" I exclaimed. "Hold on a second." Said Cole. "There is something coming I from the Tower. There is a possible target in the area." Cole said. "Then let's go!" I said as we headed out of Dock 13 where Cole put the waypoint.
We made it outside to see two Fallen Spider Tanks being dropped off and a contingent of Captains heading towards me and Cole. "I don't think they liked us killing their Kell." Said Cole. Suddenly, a shot from a Wire Rifle zoomed past my head with more being charged up. "You think!" I yelled as my Ghost disappeared into my head. "I'm glad we got out all of my stuff from the Vault!" I yelled as I bring out Fatebringer. I then aimed at a Captain that was in the middle of a group and started taking down its shields. Once the shields were down I headshot it, which in turn caused the Captains' body to explode and damage the others taking out their shields. I then brought out my trusty Suros Regime and aimed at their heads while firing. At this point I took down a total of five Captains out of maybe thirty? Let's just say they REALLY wanted me dead. As I was hidden behind cover a bunch of Captains started shooting their Shrapnel Cannons at my position.
"Hey Cole, can you radio in some back-up for me please?" I asked to my Ghost. "Sure thing, they are sending Fireteam Zulu 14." Cole informed me. "Huh, weird coincidence?" I half asked half said. "They were on patrol near our area. So yeah, weird coincidence." Cole said. "Well at least I'll meet the rest of Brandon's team." I said as I brought out my Black Spindle and shot a Captain who was using a Wire Rifle. I then started loading my Hunger of Crota with rockets before aiming down its scope, and firing into a group of ten Captains. I then had to duck behind cover again as the Spider Tanks powered up and started firing at me. "By the way, when did they say that Fireteam was getting here?" I asked because I could not move from cover without being torn to shreds. "30 minutes, why?" Cole asked. "Well luckily I brought these with me." I said as I brought out a pack of cards.
15 minutes later
"Do you have any threes?" I asked. "Go Fish." Cole said after looking at his cards. I then drew a card from the little pile in between me and Cole. "You know, I can resurrect you right?" Cole said as I got my card. "And do you have any fours?" Cole asked. "Go Fish, and I completely forgot about that fact." I said as he picked up his card with his transmatting powers. "I'm still going to wait though since we already called them in, that and there are still two tanks out there." I said as I started putting away the cards. "So, what should we do now?" I asked Cole as I put Hunger of Crota and Black Spindle on my back and hold my Suros Regime in my hands. "We wait I guess." Said Cole as he put my Fatebringer in my ships vault.
15 more minutes later
I am sitting against the cover I have with my arms resting on my legs as I see Brandon and his teammates arrive. "Sup." Was all I said as they got to me. "Alright what are we dealing with?" Said Caiti as they crouched near me. "There are two Spider Tanks, fifteen Captains, and five Vandals I believe." I said trying to remember how many enemies I saw. Sarah stared at me and asked "And, why are they after you by sending this much forces?" "Because I killed their Kell." I simply said. "That would do it." Sarah said. "Well then, it's your second day alive and already you have killed a Kell, you get around man." Brandon said. "Yeah but, I have an army of Devils after my ass." I said. "Well I guess that would explain you needing help." Said Caiti. "So, Diamond what have you been doing since we were sent to help you?" Asked Brandon. "I was playing Go Fish with Cole here while I was getting shot at." I said plainly. They all just stared at me as if I was joking. "You're kidding, right?" Sarah asked. "No, but what else was I to do without getting shredded." I said. They all then thought about how much options I really had. "Yeaah I can see your point there." Brandon said. "So how do we get rid of the army that wants me dead?" I asked them all. "I don't know. Do you have any ideas, or where you too busy playing Go Fish?" Asked Caiti. "No, just thought y'all might have thought of something." I said. "But I have thought of it, ok here's the plan." I say starting off making up the plan. "What plan?" Said someone not in the group. We all turned to a Fallen Captain who was holding a Wire Rifle in two arms and two cutlasses in the other two hands. "Oh, hey Zamon." I said to the Captain. "What's going on?" Zamon asked. "Well, I am being hunted down by most of the House of Devils and asked for back-up, got my friend Brandon and his team, and were making up a plan to destroy the army that is currently trying to kill me." I explained to Zamon. "Well, how can I help, oh and hi Brandon and his friends." Zamon asked/said. "Hi?" Brandon said weirdly. "Alright so here's the plan." I start off.
One explanation later
"And that's what will happen." I finished the explanation. "That can work." Zamon said. "Yeah, you even took in account our strengths and weaknesses as well. Are you a Warlock in disguise?" Caiti asked kinda surprised as well as scared. "Nah, I'm just used to making plans." I said. "Everyone ready?" I asked the group. They all said their respective agreements. "Good, let's get to work." I said excitedly. Everyone moved to their respective places before Zamon went out there causing a cease-fire.
Zamon POV
"Hold your fire!" I yelled out as the Guardians went to their positions. "Why are we stopping?" Asked a Captain as he came out of the group he was in. "What are you all shooting at?" I asked as I walked up to the Captain. "There was one of those accursed Guardians there." He said as he pointed to where I came from. "You mean where I came from, there was no Guardian there when I came through." I said to the Captain. "Wait there was supposed to be a group of Vandals outside the area he entered from!" The Captain said starting to grow worried. "Well there were no Vandals and there were no bodies when I entered there, so that means there were no squad of Vandals there." I said assuredly, mostly because that was no lie at all, being there was no squad of Vandals there. "Well we need to find them." The Captain said. "I know where they are." I said. "Where?" The Captain asked wearily at how I said that. "Here." I said as I plunged my cutlasses into his chest and the Guardians opened fire on the unsuspecting army.
3rd Person POV
Brandon had moved to a building undetected while the army was distracted with Zamon. He was currently in a sniping position while Caiti had moved to a building where she could flank a group of Captains with a Nova Bomb at the ready, and Sarah went and hid underneath a Spider Tank while Diamond hind underneath the other tank. When Zamon had killed the Captain in front of him Brandon started getting rid of the Vandals that were sniping, while Sarah and Diamond were going into their respective Spider Tanks and taking control of them from the inside and Caiti was Nova Bombing a large group of Captains that made up what was left of the army. When the dust cleared of the extremely short battle all that was left standing was a Fallen Captain, a Warlock, a Hunter, and two Spider Tanks. "Good job everyone!" Yelled a male voice from one of the Spider Tanks. "And we can bring these back to the Last City for the Vanguard." Said the voice again. "Yes, I'm sure one of the Warlocks at the Tower would love to study one of these intact instead of them being destroyed." Said the Warlock of the group. Then the Spider Tank that had the male voice asked the Captain "Hey Zamon what are you gonna do now?" "I am most likely to go and join another Fallen House, but which one I do not know." Zamon had replied. "I think I read once about a Fallen House known as the Fallen House of Judgement, I believe they were somewhere in the Reef from what I last read." Diamond lied, knowing what exactly was in the Reef, and where he will inevitably have to go in the future. "Hmm, that is rather useful information, I think I will go and try to join them." Zamon said fully believing the lie. "Yes, well we have to get these to the Last City and report to the Vanguard." Caiti said summoning her ship and getting ready for Transmat. "I agree, I hope to see you in the future Zamon." Brandon had said as he was doing the same. "As do I, and Diamond since I believe you will most likely meet him I have a friend named Rahndel who will most likely become friends with you for helping me and vice versa. I wish all of you luck Guardians." Zamon said as he started walking off towards one of the Fallen Dropships that were parked. "Bye Zamon!" Said a female voice from the other tank. "Alright guys let's go home." Said Brandon.
One Ride back to the Tower and dropping off two Spider Tanks later.
Diamond POV
"That was a pretty interesting mission if I do say so myself." Brandon said as we were all leaving the Hall of the Vanguard. "Yeah that was fun, I hope we all do a mission together with each other again in the future." I said as I went to my room in the Tower. Once I was in my room I went to the little kitchen and started making dinner. "So, how did you know about the House of Judgement and the Reef when you haven't read anything yet?" Asked Cole as he went and settled floating near my shoulder. "You've seen my memories, right?" I asked Cole as I started cooking some teriyaki steak (which I love by the way). "No, I haven't." Said Cole as I was adding seasoning. "Well go ahead and look, I don't mind since you are basically a part of me now." I told him, which was a true statement. "Ok… and done. You know quite a bit from this universe considering this was a video game in your world." Cole said surprised by what happened when I played the game. "Yeah, but I have also played other games I might be sent to like this one, also I'm wondering if maybe that voice was the Traveler." I said. "Maybe, but we don't know so I don't think we are going to figure it out soon." Cole said. I then finished eating and washed my dishes. "Yeah, well I am going to bed goodnight Cole." I said as I laid down in my armor. "Goodnight Diamond." Cole said back as he went into my head.
Well there you have it guys my fourth chapter in the story. That little thing I put in the last paragraph is true though, Teriyaki Steak is amazing. Anyway, I want to say that I'm sorry if this chapter is a bit longer than usual but I wanted to put a bit more stuff in to make the story better. But I do have a question for y'all, what is y'all's favorite food, just comment on that if y'all want and I hope that you all will have a great day.
This is Diamond signing out.
