Zavala gave me two of his best Guardian's, a Titan, who was without a name, much like almost every Guardian. He also gave me a Warlock. We jumped into our ships, then flew off into space, to Phobos.
Zavala spoke over the comms, " This Wizard, Ar Nyt, seems to be a self proclaimed Hive queen. She has also created a new ritual, put an end to both it, and her." he said, " Don't take this lightly Guardian's, this could be worse than anything we've ever seen."
Phobos came into view, it was time to finally kill those monsters. Our ships circled around after dropping us off in front of a large crater.
My Ghost appeared beside me, " After scanning Phobos, we found this place. There seems to be a large amount of Hive activity." he said, " Oh, and I've also given you a special weapon."
I looked to the Titan, he rolled his shoulders and rushed forward, the Warlock followed. I took a deep breath, running after them. Ahead of us was a pit, it was dark with spikes surrounding it. But we were Guardian's, so we jumped down into it. I landed harshly once I reached the bottom, there wasn't much light, but I didn't expect the Hive to want such things.
The Warlock walked up ahead of us, touching the wall of text I only now saw. I heard a roaring sound. A Hive Ogre grabbed hold of the wall and came into view. It was much like the one I saw back on the Moon, but this time it was smaller. The Titan immediately rushed forward, jumping into the air and grabbing hold of his Light. He grasped a flaming hammer, the Hammer of Sol, and threw it down into the Ogre. The Ogre instantly died, but there were more and more coming into view. I looked over to the Warlock and nodded, then to the Titan.
I smiled, grasping my own Light in the form of the Golden Gun, and held it close. The Warlock did the same as Arc energy flowed from his Stormcaller hands. The Hive needed a reminder of who killed their gods.
We rushed forward, Titan leading the charge and the Warlock destroying each enemy it passed. I aimed at an Ogre, shooting once into the center of its head. It fell over and died like the other three I shot soon after. The Titan threw a hammer at a Hive Knight, the hammer exploded, but it didn't kill the beast. I aimed at it's head, firing one final shot to kill it.
Our Light dimmed, leaving us with our regular weapons. I was holding one of my favorites, it was called the Hawkmoon. A Hand Cannon like no other, at least to me. The Warlock walked up to the large door that stood between us, and our target. He let his Ghost fly up to the door and scan it. As I expected, the Ghost needed time.
I sighed, turning around at the sound of more Hive. A Thrall came into view, I aimed, waited, and fired a single shot right into its head. More and more Hive ran towards us, some Thrall, some Acolyte's, a few Knight's and Ogre's as well. It was time.
I called my Ghost, " What weapon is it? "
He told both me and the Titan who I'm sure smiled as I did. We rushed forward, leaving the Warlock behind with the Ghost to make sure the door opened. I jumped into the air, grabbing the hilt of a sword the Ghost called Dark Drinker. I landed in the center of about ten Thrall's. I gripped the blade tightly, spinning around and releasing the Void energy that tore them apart. Once I stopped spinning, I could see the Titan fighting an Ogre. He held a fiery sword and did what looked like an uppercut motion to kill it.
We killed the rest of the Hive just before the Ghost told us the door was open. After running back to the door, we stepped through into a blinding white light. Once we passed through the light, a long bridge was ahead of us. I looked past it, spotting a large Hive construct built into Phobos. Tomb Ship's flew around it, opening portals and going out into the system. This was a major Hive operation by the looks of it.
We pulled out our Sparrow's, racing past the Hive the guarded the bridge and soon reached the building. After stepping inside, I only heard screams. We ran further inside, then saw what the screams came from. At least twenty Fallen were chained to objects as a single Hive Wizard ripped the Ether from each of them one by one. Ar Nyt.
Two Hive Knight's guarded the entrance to the chambers. We had to get past them. The Knight's spotted us. One grabbed a sword, the other held a Hive Boomer. My eyes widened as the Hive Knight shot a single blast towards us while the other ran forward. The Titan stepped to the side, dodging the Knight which swung its sword down into the ground where the Titan had stood. I could still hear the screams of the Fallen inside the chambers. I shook my head, running forward, towards the massive Knight with the gun. It shot at me, so I slid under the projectile and aimed my Hawkmoon at its head. I fired off three shots in rapid succession, making the Hive fall to its knees and drop the Boomer.
I then stepped onto its left arm, jumping off and onto its back. I walked along its back as it began to stand. Once I reached its head, I emptied my mag into it. The Knight crumbled into the ground. I quickly turned to the other Guardian's to see them finishing off the second Knight. They joined me at the door to the chambers in front of us. I looked to my right, spotting what seemed to be hanging chamber like the one we were on. Just before I took a step forward, I felt a refreshing feeling. My Light had fully returned.
I smiled, Ar Nyt wouldn't survive the day. We stepped inside of the dimly lit room. Fallen corpses littered the ground. I know it doesn't make sense but, they seemed more dead than usual. Another scream could be heard further down the chambers. We walked silently and slowly, making sure we didn't have anymore surprises coming our way.
Up ahead, Ar Nyt floated in place, looking right at us. She let out a screeching noise before raising her hands and sending bolts of dark energy at us. I rolled to the side, taking aim and shooting at her head. She fell back slightly, then shot at us again.
I looked to the Warlock, " You think you could use your Void energy on her? " I asked.
The Warlock nodded, jumping out into the air and reaching his hand back. Purple Void energy gathered in his hand, forming a sphere. He then pushed the sphere forward, making it grow and fly towards the Wizard. It collided with the Hive, and the explosion shook the chambers. The Titan ran out from behind cover, grabbing his Light and throwing flaming hammers at the Hive Acolyte's that came into the room.
It was my turn, Ar Nyt was injured enough for it to work. I stood, running right into the Hive. I jumped off of an Acolyte's shoulder, reaching into the air and grasping my Light. I took my Golden Gun and aimed it at Ar Nyt as she began flying back into the air. I jumped off of the air, planting my foot into her chest and driving her to the ground.
" The throne is closed to you," I said, pulling the trigger three times, firing right into her horrid face.
Ar Nyt was no more. I looked back to the other Guardian's. They nodded as we called our ships to return to the city. I looked back towards the Wizard, there was something odd about her methods. Something darker than usual.
