Sean, being the drunkest of the crew, stumbled around and sat down.
"Why don't they take me seriously, huh?!" He yelled at a rock.
'Well. I don't know bud.'
"Well of course you don't. Your a rock." He threw his hands up. "Duh."
"Sean! What the hell are you doing?!" A shill voice sounded behind him.
"Talking to my rock." He said, shrugging.
Sarah huffed and dragged him behind a wall. "In the middle of the center point?!"
"He's my therapist."
Sarah snarled, then froze as she heard a scuffle. "Shh, Sean."
She readied her hand cannon and leaned against the wall.
Her steps were light and barely made any sounds as she whipped around the corner and shot all of her rounds into the enemy female warlock.
The enemy shrieked and fell to the stone, and her red ghost hovered over her body.
Sarah took a deep breath and looked to Sean, who was drawing figures in the sand.
"Come on. If they heard that, they'll be coming." She grabbed him by his hood and dragged him along with her, and he giggled as she grunted by his weight.
"Ah! Rine! That fucking hurts!" Nate yelled before Kyrine hit his helmet.
"I'm trying to get it out, you vulgar buttcheek."
She was attempting to extract the bullet from his lower back, and Nate was making it unsuccessful because of his wiggling around and groaning.
As painful as it sounded, Kyrine was using a small pocket knife to get the bullet out.
Once you get the bullet out from the Guardian, their health and stamina go back up, and they can maneuver easily again. Until then, the more bullets they have in their system, the more hindered they are until the bullets are extracted.
She poked the metal and her partner hissed. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
She slid the blade past the bullet and cocked it sideways to get under it.
"Go easy, princess!"
"I'm almost there, hold on.." Kyrine cocked the blade up, and the bullet moved upward.
She took a piece of her black cape to clean the spurts dark blood.
Then she took a metal rod from her belt, putting the locker blade back, and gently wiggling the rod under the bullet and bringing it up and flinging it into the orange sand.
"There," she said, smiling. "All better." Kyrine watched as his skin healed and his armor reset to its original state.
Nate breathed a sigh of relief as his wound healed and sat up. "Thanks." He stood up and grabbed Kyrine's hand, pulling her to him.
"Let's get going, I think Sar' may need help with Sean." Kyrine mumbled, and detached herself from his chest.
He pulled her back and hugged her against him, and she wiggled. "Leggo Nate,"
Nate let her go, and smiled. "Let's get going then, slow poke." Kyrine smacked his helmet, giggling.
They made their way back around the bend, a route to Zone A, Kyrine shooting a female Titan at the turret.
Sean, get your ass up! You intergalactic donkey!"
Kyrine and Nate looked at each other as they heard Sean rounding the corner, dragging Sean, who was kicked up sand, behind her.
"But, my rock..."
"No one cares about your damn rock!"
Nate sprinted over to them, "Hey! We gotta get some points, the other team is ahead of us and we haven't done shit!"
"Uh uh, no. Language, Nathaniel." Kyrine shushed him, coming to a stop next to him.
"Whatever. Point is," He threw an arm up towards to now occupants turrent "we need to get our heads in the game, and out of the beer bottle." He have a pointed look at Sean.
"I'm going to head back and watch Zone C. Sarah can go with me...Sean, and Nate.." She paused, and shook her head. "I'll take Nate. Me and Sarah are the less drunk of all of us. Sarah, you can take Sean. "
Even if the Awoken Hunter couldn't see her friends expression, she knew she'd managed to make Sarah angry.
"Rocky! My love!"
_
"So," Nate smirked. "Did you really want me so bad that you put Sean and Sari' together?"
Kyrine snorted, looking through her sniper to the enemy Guardian who controlled the turret. "You. Wish."
"My wishes come true," He said back cockily and aimed his gun.
"Uh huh..." She zoomed in, "suuuuure." And shot, knocking the enemy in the head and the others around him going into a frenzy.
"I'm very sure, princess." He shot down one of the two remaining enemies.
"Whatever, Nathaniel." She fired at the remaining one, and shot it him the leg.
Nate finished by shooting the male warlock again.
"You are welcome." He said, putting the sniper back on his back.
"No thank you." She readied her shotgun next, and hopped over the rock.
"Fine then," he huffed. "Be the bitch."
"My best talent." She said, then sprinted over to Zone C and under the fallen stone.
Nate skidded next to her, silent and listened for footsteps.
Kyrine pressed a button on her helmet and spoke into the group mic, "We got it."
Sarah heard Kyrine's voice and replied, "Gotcha."
"My heaaaaaaad..." Sean moaned from beside her.
"I'm sorry, I can't do much." She sweetly. "Next time don't insist on going into the Crucible drunk."
"Never drink again, Sarah, promise me. Your to abrasive when you get liquor in your system." He mumbled and pulled out his scout rifle.
"Shut up and let's get moving." She said and crouched down, moving in.
"Sarah. I hope you know your mic is still on..." Kyrine's voice echoed through her helmet.
"Oh!" She tapped the group mic button.
"There's a warlock over there," Sarah said as the advanced from the left side of the flag. He pointed to the opponent with a sniper on the bridge. "I'll get him."
He whipped out his blue sniper and aimed at the mans head, then shot.
Without a sound, the man slid down, and his ghost appeared.
Sarah took her heavy weapon out, and aimed for the two Guardians at the turrets that hadn't noticed her yet while Sean started to capture the flag.
She used both of her small hands to lift the heavy weapon, and positioned it on the turret, then fired.
Kyrine lifted her head as she heard the big boom. "Guess that's our cue. They'll resplendent in a minute and head back here...so you stay here and I'll meet Sean at Zone B. We only need a few more points before we win."
"So do they, princess." Nate mumbled.
The smile was wiped off her face and she slouched. "Ruining my optimism I see."
"My best talent," He mocked her.
"Whatever, Nate. Guard this zone, I'll be back in a minute." She said and sprinted off.
Nate raised an eyebrow as he watched her butt. "Mhmm. Gotcha."
"Rine?" Sarah whispered.
"Right here," Kyrine said as she crouched beside her friend. "I just took out one near the entrance. If we get this flag we're golden."
She nodded, and they ran to the flag, and then heard a gunshot.
"Ah!" Kyrine yelled and fell to the hard floor, holding her knee.
Sarah turned to see a Titan with a hand cannon, now pointed at her.
Another gunshot was heard, and the massive Titan dropped, holding his shoulder, and Kyrine had her own gun pointed at him, one hand on her bleeding knee.
"Finish it, Sar'!" Kyrine snapped, and shot at the Titan twice.
Sarah blinked out of her shock and skidded into the zone circle, slowly gaining it as Kyrine drug herself over.
"There's two more I just saw. They'll be here in a few." She muttered almost silently.
Sarah already rapidly beating heart escalated.
They were at 60% when the other enemy Guardians appeared. Kyrine pressed her mic button, "Nate. Come on, we need you."
She then fired from her position on the ground, killing one of the three enemies, while Sarah was hit and pushed out of the circle, slowing the capture of the flag.
Other enemies appeared, as Kyrine was killed and the capture froze, then the flag stood unclaimed.
Nate arrived and put up a purple shield, pulling Sarah in as the other two nameless Guardians slid in.
"Where's Kyrine?" Nate turned back towards a injured Sarah.
She snorted as she pulled out the bullet that was shallowly lodged into her arm. "I don't know. She got wiped."
Sean arrived into the bubble, and stood beside Nate. "Guessing Riney was KOed?" Nate nodded.
"The shield is getting ready to go down, if we had Kyrine here we could capture the flag easier." Sarah mumbled.
As she shield flickered, Sean, Nate, Sarah and the other two Guardians readied their weapons.
Kyrine stretched her legs as she respawned near Zone B, and checked the standings.
Bravo was in the lead, but only by 200 points. Meaning if Alpha could capture Zone A, we would win, Kyrine thought to herself.
She tightened the buckles on her boots, then took off into a sprint.
The purple shield went down, and the Alpha team jumped into the air as shots whizzed past their feet.
Sarah landed, taking out two Guardians with her nova bomb.
She turned to see Kyrine enter from behind the enemies, and took out two other Guardians.
"Kyrine, get to the flag!" Nate yelled before he was shot in the stomach.
Her head spun as she stumbled over to the flag and grasped the pole.
Alpha, wins!
