First off, I apologize for the 'really' late update. I had thought that even when I finally found a job, that I would at least have the time to write and still update weekly. Oh how wrong I was. It is a struggle to even have time to write and even when I do, I am so tired that I mostly find myself unable to concentrate on writing. And as such, as sad to say, that I won't be able to update weekly, and that updates are going to be a bit sporadic until I can a proper way and time to get the schedule back on hand. Once again, I apologize for the late update and for the inconvenience.
Seeing the smoke and fire trailing through the City and then coming to a pause at the Tower, Unit Eleven didn't have to guess on what just had occurred; Dusk was already here and singlehandedly, she already had caused a substantial amount of damage.
As Unit Eleven's ship glided over smoldering buildings, Day's voice then permeated throughout his mind, "I think it is safe to say that the best place for Ianos would be to leave him on the ship." Opting to remain silent at his Ghost's words, Day must have taken it as a sign of disapproval as the Phoenix Exo then heard them add, "I will leave the ship on auto-pilot and direct it towards the outskirts of the City, he should be safe until I call it back, once things cool down."
Once again saying nothing, Unit Eleven just glanced over his shoulder, his white optics spotting the small frame leading to the back; although he never saw a use for it, the Exo Warlock will have to voice his gratitude towards Amanda Holliday for placing a bunk in the rear of the ship, enabling him to safely stow Ianos on the vehicle.
"I scanned the surrounding areas; no Fallen, no threats," The Exo heard Day add, "He will be safe, do not worry."
Still staying silent towards Day, Unit Eleven just waited until he sensed the hum of agreement from the younger mind, a silent signal for the Exo Warlock to nod once to his Ghost. Seeing Day bob once in return, he then heard the white Ghost add, "We're closing in on the Tower, get ready, who knows how much damage Dusk had done."
Scanning his optics over the smoke floating around the Tower's head, all Unit Eleven responded with was a subtle shake of the head, "I am more concerned on how many Guardians had their light taken."
All he received from Day was silence.

Akiva couldn't help but release his rage when Angel fell from the female Phoenix's Golden Gun fire, the human Hunter quickly disintegrating under the solar light. As such, when the attacker aimed her weapon at Hope, the human Titan quickly charged her, arc light permeating around him as he swung his shoulder forward, the familiar crack of the charge ringing through the air. To his disappointment and frustration, the Huntress easily dodged to the left, making him hit air as she rolled back onto her feet and aimed her Golden Gun towards him. Gathering all his void light into his hands, Akiva then quickly snapped them to the side, the familiar hum of his Ward of Dawn permeating around him followed by the shot of the gun. Hearing the female Phoenix curse and snarl, the human Titan then held up his hand, a quiet signal to Lex to materialize his auto rifle into his grip, and enabling Akiva to aim his weapon and fire.
Although fully acknowledgeable of a Hunter's agility and speed, this didn't stop the human Titan from cursing under his breath as the female Exo easily maneuvered out of his shots, skidding down onto her knees to easily dodge the last of the clip. Letting a growl form in the back of his throat, Akiva went to reload his weapon when movement caught his eye; a Guardian from the sidelines had joined into the fray – a Titan, judging from the heavy armor – and had released a surge of arc light as they charged towards the Phoenix Exo.
Half expecting the Huntress to dodge his punch, Akiva reeled back in surprise when instead, the Phoenix Exo blocked it, bracing one hand against her arm to help steady the blow. Hardly seeing her form stumble, Akiva then watched with bewilderment as she then brushed the attacking Titan's arm to the side, and then grasping the front of his armor with one of her hands. At first, nothing out of the ordinary occurred, even the Titan paused to give her a puzzled look. However, it was then a flash of light permeated from her touch and Akiva heard his fellow Titan release a gasp in response, seeing him fall to his knees as a dazed look flashed over his gaze. Then, before the human Titan can release a cry, the female Phoenix pressed the barrel of her weapon against his head and fired, the solar light easily leaving behind nothing but ash.
Holding in a breath as the Titan's Ghost materialized into view, confusion once again settled into the back of Akiva's mind as the Huntress simply walked away, prompting the human Titan to keep a close eye on the Ghost. Expecting them to resurrect the Titan to counter attack against the female Phoenix, Akiva instead watched with wide eyes as the Ghost repeatedly spread their parts, their core shaking as their beams of light were met with nothing; it was only when the Ghost released quiet cries when the human Titan placed the pieces together.
"Stay away from her!" He shouted, however, his words were lost to some, as several of the standing Guardians ran in to avenge their fallen comrade.
Easily seeing her dodge the strikes that his fellow Guardians threw at her, Akiva let out a curse when she grabbed one of the attacking Guardians by the arm, a flash of light signifying the damage before she kicked them away, turning her attention towards the others. Seeing her reach for another, the human Titan let out a snarl as he finally slipped in the new clip into his auto rifle and started firing towards the Huntress' way.
Ignoring the surprised curses of his fellow Guardians as they dodged out of the way of friendly fire, Akiva watched with slight accomplishment as some of his bullets sprayed onto her person, the female Phoenix stumbling back from the blows done to her shields. What he hadn't expected though, was the Huntress to recuperate from the attack so quickly.
He instantly found her at the front of his Ward of Dawn, her white optics flashing to red before she placed a hand onto the dome, only for Akiva to take steps back when he felt the light around him dim, the strength fading as the Ward dissipated.
"You think that you are safe in that insignificant light you call a 'shield'?" Akiva heard her snarl, her optics glowing threateningly red, "Humans, overconfident as always."
Snapping out of his surprise, the human Titan attempted to aim his auto-rifle at the female Exo only to feel it being torn out of his grip, hearing it clatter to the floor before he felt a hand grip the front of his armor. It was then his senses dulled, feeling his legs buckle underneath him as he fell onto his knees, his vision barely comprehending the world spinning around him.
"Get away from him!"
Barely recognizing Angel's voice, Akiva then felt the grip slacken, the only thing keeping him up enabling him to fall onto his side with a groan as he heard a scream of rage emanating from the Phoenix Hunter. Lifting his gaze as the haze in his vision faded, Akiva witnessed in time to see Angel leap back and the female Exo tearing out the familiar handle of the younger Hunter's knife from her shoulder.
"Akiva?" The human Titan shifted his gaze to see the familiar yellow and white form of Lex, the Ghost clicking his shell against his core worriedly, "Come, quickly. She didn't take enough of your light to sever the bond, but who knows how well it will go if she gets you again." Letting out a grunt in response to his Ghost's words, he then heard Lex add in, "I already spread the news to the Vanguard and every Guardian present in the Tower, they will know not to get in close quarters with her. Hurry!"
Shoving the grogginess of his mind to the side, Akiva forced himself back onto his knees, placing a foot onto the ground and a hand onto the tiles, the world spinning in his vision. As he gathered enough energy to force himself to stand, a startled scream permeated from Angel, prompting the human Titan to snap his attention towards the Hunter, only to see him struggling and cursing in the female Phoenix's grasp as she lifted him off the floor.
"Any last words, human?"
Seeing Angel narrow his green eyes at the Huntress, it was then the familiar tongue of the Eliksni spilled forth from the young Hunter's lips. Having known Angel for years, Akiva did not find it surprising that the young Guardian took to speaking the tongue that he was most comfortable with, and although he does not fully understand him, knew the look of rage on Angel's olive features to understand the curses he gave her. Although, Akiva can see this was not the case for the Phoenix Huntress, the latter of which reeled back in surprise as her optics flickered; Akiva decided to take this chance. Gritting his teeth as his body protested against the movement, the Titan staggered and then charged, bringing back a fist filtered with arc light as he then swung it towards the Huntress. Feeling his fist come into contact with her jaw, Akiva then felt the surge of arc light leave his arm, hearing the Huntress let out a scream as he sent her flying, her grip on Angel's chest piece loosening just enough for the Hunter to fall back onto his rump with an 'oomph'. Seeing that the younger guardian was at least a safe distance away from the female Exo, Akiva then collapsed onto his knees once more, only to hear scrambling of feet emit next to him.
"Akiva, you alright?" It was Angel, the human Titan feeling a hand press down onto his shoulder, prompting Akiva to turn his golden hues towards the Hunter; it was enough of an answer for the younger Guardian, "Come on, let's get you out of here."
Feeling the Hunter wrap his arm around his shoulders, Akiva then leaned in towards Angel, using the younger Guardian as support as he felt him attempting to lead the way. Although, the human Titan knew that it wouldn't be so easy as simply leaving when he felt Angel pull him back, the familiar heat of a Golden Gun shot slamming into the floor before them. It was then he heard the familiar sounds of rushing footsteps, the heat behind his back growing stronger as they grew louder.
Hearing Angel let out a curse, Akiva then felt himself being shoved, his hand grabbing air as he then felt his back collide with the tiled ground.
"Angel!"
Hearing his Ghost let out a cry, Akiva pushed himself up just enough to witness Angel release a surge of arc light, holding out his blade in a vain attempt to clash with the female Huntress. Seeing a knife in her hand as well, the human Titan gritted his teeth as he pushed himself onto his knees, gathering as much of his light as he can into his hands in an attempt form his Ward. However, before he can even snap his hands to the side, the sound of a high-powered rifle rang through the air followed by the female Hunter's head snapping back, the familiar glisten of an Exo's lifeblood filtering through the shot as her body fell back.
"You two alright?"
Hearing the familiar voice of Pluto linger in his ears, Akiva's shoulders sagged in relief as he turned his golden hues towards the entrance of the apartments, and nodded once as he saw the familiar dark clad form of Pluto approach.
"Y-yes," Angel stuttered out, the human Titan watching as the small sparks of arc light dissipated from his shoulders, "as always, you come in at the last second to save the day."
A shrug was Pluto's answer, "Coincidental. I decided to make rounds around the Tower to gather my thoughts." Akiva then noticed the Exo Hunter narrow his red optics over Angel's shoulder; the human Titan didn't have to ask to know that he was staring down the Huntress' body, "Wasn't expecting another attack on the Tower so soon though."
"Luckily it was quickly suppressed," Angel added, "not much damage with the exception of-"
It was then Akiva felt the familiar heat of solar light permeate nearby, his wide eyes watching as Angel came to a sudden pause and snapped around; fire swirled around the Huntress' body as she stood up, rage clear in her glowing red optics as she snarled.
"Get out of here!"
It was Pluto, the Exo male hefting his rifle and firing at the female Phoenix, only to see her lean to the side to dodge the shot, "I will hold her off."
"But-"
"Go! Now! The rest of the clan is on their way!"
Seeing Angel jump at the sudden volume in Pluto's voice, Akiva then spotted the young Hunter hesitate before he once more approached the Titan's side, lifted him up, and started leading Akiva away from the fight.

In all his years, Pluto had seen plenty of Guardians resurrect themselves, even those who do not resemble the Warlocks. It was during the Dark Ages, when 'class' was hardly significant and the Risen had more freedom with their light than the newborns currently being resurrected. As such, it wasn't uncommon to witness those adorned in leather or heavy armor to bring themselves back with a cry; as such the reason where Pluto learned to always keep his guard up after falling a fellow Risen.
Despite this, the Exo Hunter still couldn't suppress the shock that jumped into his systems when the Huntress rose to her feet, solar light flaring around her shoulders as she slowly approached. Letting a growl form in the back of his throat, Pluto then turned his attention towards the others, "Get out of here."
The older Hunter easily sensed Angel's hesitation, "But-"
"Go! Now!" He repeated, "The rest of the clan is on their way!"
It was a lie, an attempt to get the two Guardians away from the threat, especially when all Pluto needed was a glance at Akiva to know that the Titan hardly could keep himself standing; in other words, he would be more of a liability than aid.
Giving Angel a glare to put emphasis on his words, Pluto only then fixated his gaze back onto the Huntress before him when he saw the human Hunter take hesitant steps back; it didn't take him long to hear a grunt and the scraping of feet against the tiled floor fade to signify their leave.
"You are an imitation," He narrowed his optics at her words, "You carry a piece of one of my brethren in your plating."
At first puzzled, it took Pluto only a second more for it to click, his optics going wide as he whispered, "You are a Phoenix Exo."
"Oh? So, you know about us?" The Exo Hunter watched her smile, her red optics glinting through the blaze of her solar light before he saw her raise her Golden Gun; he didn't have to think twice to know to release the familiar fog of Shadestep into his senses, feeling the heat of the shot brushing 'through' him as tinge of violet left his gaze, prompting him to lift his sniper and aim towards the Huntress.
Pluto heard her scoff, "You think that trick will work-"
He didn't give her time to finish.
Pressing his finger against the trigger of his weapon, Pluto felt his shoulder jerk back from the recoil of his sniper, and watched as the surprise on the Huntress' face contorted into fury. Although his distance from the female Exo is considered close for the high-powered rifle, the Exo Hunter still expected a hit, and as such, couldn't help but reel back in surprise when the Huntress ducked, easily dodging the bullet. Quickly regaining his composure, Pluto opted to toss his sniper to the side and taking out his knife when the Huntress lunged at him, easily hearing a snarl emanating from her throat.
Seeing the familiar glint of a blade linger in her grasp, Pluto held up his weapon moments before he heard the sound of metal clashing against metal, pressing pressure onto his knife in order to force the female Exo back. Instead, he found her retaliating, the Exo Hunter gritting his jaw as he felt himself lean back followed by a sense of unease when he saw a smile flash onto the female Hunter's metallic features. It was then he felt heat emitting from his knife.
Letting out a hiss as pain permeating through his palm and gloves, Pluto forced himself to gripe through the flames and shove her back, quickly tossing his knife to the side as he watched the Huntress stumble. Wrapping his fingers around the wrist of his burned hand, Pluto took steps back as he caught movement from the edges of his vision; it was one of the many Guardians present in the Plaza.
Another Hunter judging from the cloak draped over their shoulders, echoes of Lex's warning rang in Pluto's mind; Close combat engagement not encouraged.
Although confused at the yellow and white Ghost's warnings, the older Guardian decided to take heed and as such, parted his lips to call out to the young Hunter, only to pause as he saw the familiar buzz of arc light permeating around their form; nothing would be capable of stopping a Bladedancer, right?
This short moment of thought gave enough time for the Hunter to close in towards the Huntress, only for Pluto to witness the female Exo duck down and grab the attacking Guardian by the throat. Hearing the young Hunter let out a choke in response, the older Exo decided to dash in, concentrating his light into his fist before slamming it into the Huntress' side. A gasp of surprise was his reward, followed by the younger Hunter slipping away from the corner of his vision; he then felt a hand grip him by the front of his armor.
Half expecting a retaliation, Pluto was surprised to instead see the female Exo pull him in, pressing their faces together as her optics flickered to red. Her gaze then hardened as Pluto heard her speak, "I am taking back my brother."
Confused at her words, the older Exo then felt himself being lifted into the air and static filtering into his vision as he felt pain vibrated throughout his back, his gaze clearing just enough to get a glance of the sky. Pluto then let out a hiss as pain spiked through his right hand, prompting him to lift it to strike back against the female Huntress. Instead, more pain filtered into his palm followed by a tug, the older Exo flexing his fingers just enough to touch the familiar shape of a blade; the Huntress had pinned it down with her knife. Gritting his jaw, Pluto gathered his light into his free hand and pressed it against the female Exo's chest, pressing pressure in a vain attempt to get her off of his torso. However, instead of feeling the weight leave him, Pluto felt fingers wrap around his wrist and forced it to the floor. Letting a growl emit from his throat, the Exo Hunter attempted to pry his trapped hand free, only to come to a pause when he hardly gained any movement.
Seeing a smile form onto the female Exo's features, Pluto narrowed his optics in response before he startled struggling, kicking his legs in another attempt to throw the female Exo off him; the older Guardian simply felt her tighten her grip. Then, before the Exo Hunter could process on what to do next, he felt pressure quickly build over the edges of his right optic before agony soon followed, causing Pluto let out a shout, a scream as he started to thrash underneath the female Exo, attempting to buck her off his person. It was only when the right side of his vision went dark and the sound of metal and wires screaming and snapping that Pluto gritting his jaw and tugged on his pinned hand, letting pain permeate through his palm as he freed it from the confines of the blade. Then, condensing his light into his ruined gripped, the older Guardian narrowed his gaze before slamming the smoke grenade into the Huntress' face, the familiar hiss of poisoning ringing in his auditory sensors as is exploded. A scream was his reward as the female Exo finally pushed herself off of his chest, enabling Pluto to scramble back and watch as she clutched her face with one of her hands as fog emitted between her fingertips.
Although experience told him to keep focused, Pluto couldn't help but raise a hand to his right optic, only to pause when his fingertips felt the rigidness of his features, and the liquid streaming down his face. Glancing back towards the Huntress, Pluto then spotted his missing optic in her free hand, the tangled wires dripping white fluids as her stagger regained composure. It was then, the glow of light caught Pluto's attention, bringing his gaze back towards her face only to let out a low growl; wisps of light lingered around the Huntress's features, rotted visage of her metal plating dissipating as the light faded, leaving herself unscathed.
Having the capability to not only bring herself back from the dead but to also heal herself almost instantly without the aid of a Ghost, Pluto wonders what it is going to take to ensure that this Phoenix Exo stays 'dead'.
"Both of your optics do not belong to you," Pluto snapped out of his thoughts, narrowing his gaze as she held up his optic, as if to flaunt off her prize, "I am taking back what is rightfully the Phoenix Exo's."
"You take back pieces of the Phoenix, then what?" The Exo Hunter pushed himself onto his feet, bringing up his injured hand close to his abdomen as pain throbbed from the wound; whispers of Nix's concern reverberated in his head in response, "bring them back? How?" He saw her pause, "How will you be able bring them back when the Traveler is dormant?"
Pluto continued to watch as her gaze once more lingered around her surroundings, her white optics flashing with uncertainty before finally, it paused upon the older Guardian, "Dormant currently, yes. But like all things who sleep, it will awaken." He then watches her pocket his optic behind her back - more than likely into a bag out of his sight – as the Huntress then added, "and when it finally wakes, it will realize its mistake of selecting humanity as it's chosen, and will resurrect my brothers and sisters who were wrongfully terminated and dismantled. And until then, I will wait."
Seeing solar light once again linger around her person, Pluto prepared himself, scanning his surroundings until his gaze fell upon his abandoned rifle; if he can gather enough light quickly enough to safely Shadesteps towards it, he might have a chance. Although, it wouldn't be so far from his reach if he hadn't carelessly tossed it away beforehand. Silently reprimanding himself for a rash decision, Pluto started gathering his light around his person, only to jump as an explosion of void light collided into the female Exo, the Exo Hunter barely catching the expression of surprise on her face before she dissipated into wisps of violet. Reeling back, the older Guardian glanced over only to blink, "Matt?"
The Exo Hunter almost didn't recognize the human, mainly for the reason that the medic was now wearing the familiar robes of a Warlock, the dark colors of violet and red faded to signify its age. If it was not for the absence of a helmet, Pluto would have certainly have thought the 'retired' Guardian just as another Soldier of Light who happened to be nearby.
"I heard the commotion from the Medical Wing," Matt answered as he approached the injured Hunter, feeling a hand press down onto his shoulder, "I came up to see what was going on only to see, well, this."
"I understand why you intervened, but," Pluto examined him up and down, "Why in the Traveler are you in your old robes?"
"The previous attack on the Tower," The Exo Hunter paused at this, "I wanted to be ready in case it happens again." A sheepish chuckle can be heard from the human Warlock, "Guess I was right to be prepared."
Hesitating at the Medic's words, Pluto brought up a hand to his maimed optic, pressing his palm over it in an attempt to stop the leaking fluids as he said, "You shouldn't be here, you know as well as I do what would happen if you are to get injured in a fight."
That's when a glint of emotion flashed over Matt's brown hues, the Exo Hunter unable to grasp what he had seen fully as the human Guardian responded, "I know."
"You have to leave," Pluto hissed out, "You are the only one who knows how Ianos' systems fully function, if you die here."
"You think I do not have a backup?" The Exo Hunter once again paused, "I may have lost my Ghost, Pluto, but I am still a Warlock." Another nervous smile from the human, "I plan ahead."
He then felt a gentle tug on his arm, "Come on, let's get you fixed up, the threat is-"
The heat of light once against caught in Pluto's senses, prompting the Hunter to grasp the human Warlock by the shoulders and leaped to the side. Flares of Golden Gun fire streaked past the duo as they tumbled onto the floor, Pluto immediately rolling back to leap back onto his feet. Once again, the female Exo was ablaze in solar light, her optics flickering red once more.
"Human."
Hearing the hate in her tone, it didn't take Pluto long to understand who her focus was on, and as such, turned to Matt, "Run!"
Seeing realization click inside the human Warlock's eyes, Pluto felt the condensation of light build up in his grasp before seeing the Medic's form disappear in a flash of violet, and watched as he reappeared midair not too far from the Exo Hunter. As Matt slowed his descent momentarily to break his fall, the familiar sound of a Golden Gun fire caught Pluto's attention, causing the older Guardian to turn his gaze back towards the Huntress, and half expected the incoming shot of the solar bullet to slam into his chest. Instead of the familiar burn of the fiery light permeating throughout his senses, he felt the heat of the shot flying past him followed by horror as he realized the target of her shot.
"Matt!"
Turning around in time to see the human Warlock land, Pluto then witnessed Matt snap his gaze towards him at the mention of his name, only to see the Medic's brown eyes widen as his gaze trailed the projectile and lifted his hands as wisps of violet light lingered between his fingertips. Pluto's optics then widened as Matt let out a scream followed by the Warlock's form bursting into fire.

Echo landed his craft into the Hangar, only to frown at the sudden burst of activity; Guardians scrambled about, some of them helping the injured or the weary into the area.
"Dusk beat us here."
Letting his scowl deepen at the words of his Ghost, the Exo Titan simply held up his hand, feeling the familiar weight of a helmet settle into his palm before slipping it over his head; judging from the number of Soldiers of Light taking refuge in the Hangar, the battle with Dusk is going to be rough.
Sliding back his seat, Echo then felt the familiar sensation of weightlessness take over his senses, prompting him to square out his feet and land with little to no stumble, enabling him to quickly regain his balance and promptly walk past the battle worn.
"Echo? Is that you?"
Letting a rumble form in his throat, the Exo Titan only gave enough time to glance over at the one who called out to him, his gaze lingering over the form of a Hunter before continuing his way; he then felt a hand clamp down onto his shoulder. Grinding his jaw at this action, Echo quickly grasped the intruding grip, twirled around, and pulled his shoulder forward, hearing a startled yelp emanating from the Hunter as he easily flipped the human onto his back against the floor with a resounding 'bang'.
How or why those surrounding the pair seemingly didn't notice his attack on a fellow Guardian made little to no sense to Echo, but it did nothing to stop the Exo Titan to narrow his optics into the green eyes of the human below him before turning around and turning his attention back towards his agenda.
"Echo! Wait! That Exo out in the Plaza! Is she a Phoenix like you!?"
That's when Echo came to a halt, his white optics wide as he turned and faced the Hunter, "You have faced her? And lived?"
"Now what is that supposed to mean?" The Hunter – Angel, was it? – flipped himself onto his stomach and then pushed himself onto his feet, "But judging from yours words, I can take it that she is indeed a Phoenix?"
His gaze instantly narrowing at the young Guardian's words, Echo opted to ignore the Hunter's question and instead ask, "Is she still out in the Plaza?"
Hesitation flashed over the Hunter's green eyes, "I am not certain." He then must have sensed the glare that Echo must have gave him as almost instantly, his shoulders went stiff and he held up his hands as if in defense, "But last I have seen her, she was still there, facing Pluto and other Guardians in the vicinity."
Echo paused, "You are saying that there are Guardians out there facing Dusk right now?"
"Dusk? Is that her name?" The Exo Titan glowered at the young Hunter, "Woah! Hey! No need to give me that dirty look." The human Guardian took a step back, his green eyes lingering warily over Echo's visor, "Is facing her really that serious? I mean, Lex did send out a frequency to all available Guardians saying not to engage in close combat, but, it's nothing, right?"
"If you call having the capability to take the light of other Guardians 'nothing'." He watched the young Hunter's gaze widen, "What's that Security Exo that you and others of your Fireteam treasure greatly? Pluto-99?" A slow nod from the human Guardian, "If you want me to intervene in time to ensure that he returns with his light intact, then 'do not' distract me again, understand?"
Gaining nothing but silence from the young Guardian, Echo simply let out a huff before turning around and heading towards the exit of the Hangar, counting the time it would take to reach the Plaza.
"You know, judging from how quickly she took the light of those Guardians back in those caverns, even if we do move swiftly, I highly doubt we will be able to save all those involved."
Opting to say nothing at Reaver's words, Echo couldn't but lower his gaze to the floor, his optic narrowing as he heard his Ghost add, "The Traveler, is it saying anything? Anything at all?"
"Just whispers, hardly audible."
"Comprehensible?"
"…A plea," Echo heard his Ghost go silent, "A plea to save those who it had Chosen, and to stop Dusk from doing any further damage."
"Then, does that mean…?"
The Exo Titan did not respond.
"Will you be able to do it?"
"I..." Echo hesitated, "I don't know, Reaver. I don't know."
