Chapter 4-Devils Lair

Cassie's POV, 8:30 A.M.

Cosmodrome, Rocketyard.

I wait for my fireteam at the entrance to the building. It only took a few minutes for Joe to show up but it took Cody about 15 minutes. We stand next to the door, ready.

"Alright Guardians, continue inside and go through the building. I'll give you further instructions from there" Zavala speaks to us. We nod and walk into the building and up the staircase. Once we reach the top we head up another short staircase and walk down a hallway. To our left is a big open area with no way to get in. We continue down the hallway and down another staircase. We reach the bottom and go through a doorway to our right.

"Ah shit" Cody says. Ahead of us were a group a of Hive. We run and take cover behind some sort of box in the middle of the room.

"What do we do?" Joe asks.

"Get your weapons ready" Cody answers. I reach behind my back and bring out the old gun from training. I see Joe take out one of those Hand Cannons and Cody took out a pulse rifle.

"On three me and Cody will shoot from the sides. Joe you jump up on top of this thing and Shoot" I inform them.

"What? Why do I have the risky part?" He complains.

"1" I start.

"No wait this isn't fair" He exclaims.

"2" I say.

"I don't get any say in what I do?" He argues.

"3" I answer with. Me and Cody turn the corner and aim at our targets. We fire at them and I drop a smaller Hive. It squeals in pain as it's body disinagrates. I smile under neath my helmet and proceed to fire at a bigger Hive which had a sword.

"I got him!" Joe shouts. He jumps over the box and his body flashes with a bolt of lightning. Two electric blades appear in his hands as he runs at the Hive. They clash weapons. The Hive swings his sword but misses. Joe then sends 3 rapid slashes at the Hive before he flashes into a cloud of electricity. Joe proceeds to attack 3 more Hive with his ability before collapsing to the ground.

"Idiot.." Cody mutters. We rush over to Joe and drop the last few Hive.

"Is he okay?" I ask.

"Yeah I'm fine" Joe coughs. He sits up and shakes his head.

"What was all that about?" I ask him.

"I'm a Blade Dancer. I'm a type of hunter who uses Arc charged blades and speed to kill. That's my Super" He coughs up.

"We don't have time for this. Let's move" Cost rushes. We get Joe on his feet and walk down a staircase leading into a massive room. We walk pass some ledges and catwalks into the front middle of the room. To our left was another doorway.

"Go through their guardians" Zavala informs us. We walk through the doorway and past some open area in the building. We continue through till we reach the wide open area that seemed to have buildings surrounding it. A small building infront of us is where we take cover for a moment. We sit down for moment and rest.

"Oh shit" Cody states. He was looking out the window at an alien ship which I could assume was Fallen. On the bottom was a huge spider looking tank that it was dropping right infront of where we needed to go.

"What is that?" I ask as I stare blankly.

"It's called a Walker Tank. I haven't fought one so I have no idea what it can do" Cody states.

"Hey uh, Guardians! Aim for it's armor plated legs okay? And uh, when it's neck opens, shoot it" Cayde chimes in. We all look at each other and nod.

"Well okay...let's get moving" I state. I get up and leave the building and go around the right side of this open area. To the right was what seemed to be a place where I could shoot his legs. I see Cody and Joe taking the route to left which is pretty open but has it's cover. I climb up a mound of snow and into this torn out part of a building. I reach the end of it's hallway where I have a clear shot of it's legs. I open fire and the Walker begins to turn to me. I keep firing at the moving legs until a red laser shined onto my body. I see the huge cannon on the top begin to shine red. I turn around and bolt away, missing the blast by only a few feet. More gunshots can be heard. Joe and Cody must be shooting now. I turn around and peek out of the hallway. Just then Cody is hit with a blast from the Walker.

"Cody!" I shout from across the battlefield. I see Joe rush over to him and pull him to cover. I see Cody's ghost pop out of him, signaling his death.

"No!" Joe shouts. He falls to his knees and looks at Cody's body. Suddenly his body burst into flames. Two fire wings pop out of his back and he stretches.

"Miss me?" Cody laughs. I sigh with relief, still not understanding how he did that. I shrug it off and fire at the Walker.

Time skip, 10 minutes later...

The Walker exposes it's neck again and we focus fire it. The machine explodes into a cloud of fire and we cheer. I run over to Cody and Joe across the field and hug them. "We did it!" I cheer.

"Guardians, we are picking up a high Fallen activity ahead. Proceed with caution" Zavala radios us. Our celebration is cut short because of his message.

"So Cody. How did you die and come back to life?" Joe asks. I stop hugging them, feeling embarrassed.

"Well I'm a Sunsinger. My Super is to resurrect me from a fatal attack. The downside is I can only use it once every hour" He explains. I exhale with happiness. We continue into the building and eventually reach two huge doors.

"Alright Guardians. The Fallen are on the other side of that door. So be ready" Zavala informs us. The door slowly opens and we see Fallen on their knees, praying to some kind of purple ball floating. "That's Septiks Guardians! Take him out!" Zavala radios. We exchange glances and open fire on the Fallen. They drop easily and as they do, we see Septiks charge himself up. We begin to focus fire on his eye as he teleports backwards. We take cover in the square arena by hiding behind two crates in the middle. We shoot when we can which isn't too much. I see a Fallen ship fly overhead and drop off troops to my right. A big Fallen with two swords begins to charge towards us.

"Big got over here!" I shout to my fireteam. They look my way and blast down the Fallen.

"That was a Captian. They usually lead a pack of Fallen" Joe informs me. I nod and get back to fighting Septiks.

15 minutes later...

Septiks shot purple explosives at us and we continued to dodge them. We put in some fire on him till he teleports right next to us. He begins to shoot at Cody and Joe who were already weak. I feel a sudden rush of energy flow through me. I rush over by their side and stand infront of them.

"What are you doing Cassie? The blast will kill you!" Cody shouts.

"No it won't" I reply. They scream for me to move but I just ignore them. Just then Septiks sends his deadly blast at me and I absorb the blast. As I absorb it I feel my body grew increasingly hot, as if someone was putting hot embers on me. I burst into flames and feel something appear in my hand. It was a flaming hammer! The fire inside me grew and I threw the Hammer at Septiks. I feel another hammer appear at my hip as the other one hits Septiks. I continue to hurl hammers until he blows up into a cloud of ash. I stand, astonished of my own ability. I fall to my knees, the flames have gone out now. I fall to the ground and black out.

There you go! Another chapter to this story which I am enjoying so far! Well, until next time everyone. BUH BYE!
