The thunderous sounds of gunfire echo throughout the dread nought.
"Guardian, you smell that sterile neutrinos aversion anchors firing up!" Drifter warned through the comsystems.
The titan catapulted himself from the boney raised platform to the center of the platform leading to the court of oryx. A being chiseled from the witness itself stood before him, It had a blocky head with runes running down its center, the green strings of fate known as [Strand] coursed through its body as it primed itself for the guardians attacks.
"Subjugator we meet again" The guardian said in a playful tone. It had run into many different subjugators but he treated them all the same.
It bowed in respect before engaging the fight. These empty vessels known as the husk appeared through rifts in reality and charged toward the guardian, their winged companions with orange lights for heads paired with pyramid tech weaponry fired upon the guardian.
The guardian slammed his palms together making a thunderous clap, a Lightning charged barricade materialized in front of him, Pure chaotic energy coursed through his being focusing it on his weapon. The Queen breaker.
CRACK, CRACK, CRACK.
The gun methodically fired a burst of [Arc] charged fusion rifle rounds at its foe. The Subjugator's head flinched at the sudden force before a bolt of lightning cast itself on the enemy, severely wounding the construct as well as hurting its pride.
Switching his attention to the Husk and Grim charging toward him he launched himself into the air before he cast himself down fist raised in determination. With a Ballistic Slam all of the enemies disintegrated into dust.
"Ahhahahahah!" The guardian rose to his feet slamming his fist together, adrenaline rushing through his veins as he watched the worms inside the husks wiggle out and fly toward him like organic missiles. Now truth be told the Guardian was a venerable hero. He was there when Oryx, the taken king , attacked the Sol system. He was there when Rhulk's awakening threatened Savathuns throne world. He was there when they charged head first into the root of all nightmares Nezarechs domain. Albeit that one was easy. Years of experience perchance but he mostly thought Nezzy was more a goober then the final god of pain.
He was there when 12 guardians came to cast down the witness from the traveler, fracturing his very being into echoes that spread across the Sol system Destroying it once and for all.
So when a 2nd subjugator or at least that's what he thought it was. Stabbed him in the chest with such speed that he too was caught off guard. They had just got Eris Morn back. And now he was here to take her place.
He got a good look at the subjugator. The chromatic energy surrounding it was strange, A new element? One he had never seen? No matter His ghost buddy woul-
Is the last thought he had before being cast into a portal.
The rest was a blur, the screaming over the Coms, the falling. His light and powers of dark seemingly are at odds with each other once more. The prismatic energy in him is fading. He felt weaker.
The falling felt like forever.
"We thirst for the seven whalings" My ghost said.
"We bear the koan of the Traveler" He continued

Welcome to the Shittim Chest, Guardian sensei
"It was all my fault" A woman said to the Little ghost floating before her.
"My Decisions, and everything they caused"
"It had to come to this for me to realize you were right all along"
Ghost adjusted his visual processor, he saw the lady with the long hair and white uniform. The blood running down the left side of her body. He wanted to say something. Are you hurt? Do you need help? His nature to protect people overridden by… something? Rendering him unable to speak.
"So forgive me for being so bold, but I must ask for your help" she continued as she looked somberly at the little robot no bigger than the size of her palm.
"Guardian Sensei," She smiled.
"You will forget these words but, it won't matter"
"Even without your memories, you'll probably make the same decision in the same situation…"
But she was wrong.. Because.
"Nobody makes my fate but me"
Is the last thing I remembered before waking up on a desk in the middle of what seemed to be an office.
"Ghost, where are we?" The guardian said, groaning inside his armor.
The little Robot looked around. Scanning the place. "This isn't the tower. None of this stuff I recognize" he said before skimming through The guardians inventory. All the resources were there. Glimmar, Ascendant alloys, Ascendant shards, Upgrade modules, Enhancement cores, Enhancement prisms, All topped off. Some extra strand meditations. The Tomb of want. Its eye looking back at him. And an Adult card…? Replacing the space where the tablet of ruin was. Its Use is unknown.
The guardian stood up and checked the weapons on him.
In his kinetic slot he had.
The Mountain Top the rocket grenade launcher, Praedyth's Revenge (Time Lost) semi auto sniper, Aurvandel a fusion rifle, Immanence the sub machine gun and Khvostov the Exotic auto rifle in his active weapon slot.
His energy weapons included.
Unworthy the semi auto scout rifle, Ikeos shotgun, The palindrome revolver hand cannon, Ice breaker the Exotic sniper rifle along with Indebted kindness the rocket side arm.
And finally in his power weapon slot.
Hezen Vengeance the rocket launcher, Watchful eye the Light Machine gun, Chill Inhibitor the heavy grenade launcher, Falling Guillotine as the Sword, Along with sleeper stimulant the exotic linear fusion rifle, and Queenbreaker the last weapon he remembered firing.
"Okay i have the weapons i was using on me at the time… Check the vault" The Guardian said to his ghost. The ghost moved its plating to look as if he was squinting.
"Uhh guardian I have bad news…" The ghost said, looking at him before pausing.
"The vault cannot connect to the tower's servers… meaning we don't have our full arsenal" Ghost continued.
"That's impossible, it's connected to… Ugh, Okay let's figure that out later. We need to" before he could finish someone walking into the room.
A tall young woman Wearing a white standard uniform with gold button accents. Paired with a dark blue tie with golden stars. She had matching white sport gloves and Oval silver glasses.
Startled, she pulled out a Side arm. It looked old fashioned, kinda like strum or gambit weapons with their wood and metal finishes.
"Who are you and how did you get inside?" She asked, clearly puzzled by the man in armor standing in front of her.
Ghost analyzed the weapon she was holding and concluded that it couldn't penetrate our armor even if she had 1000 rounds. The Guardian put up his hands showing he didn't mean any harm.
"I apologize for our sudden intrusion" The little robot spoke up.
"But me and My guardian happened to have stumbled inside we didn't mean to cause for alarm"
"If I may, where exactly are we…?" he said looking around.
"You're in the general student council building…" She said her stance is more relaxed and more curious now.
The ghost and guardian exchanging a curious look.
"Did the president send you?" she asked, still cautious.
"Uhh who?" The ghost asked before the sound of an explosion could be heard toward the lower levels. Rin seemed more distressed looking down from a window. The Guardian and Ghost nodded before rushing over to look as well.
Down below a huge fire fight was happening, explosions and gunfire scattered about like leaves in a forest.
"Whatever is happening down there We can help it's what we do" The ghost said with resolve as his big buddy Nodded crossing his arms.
She bit her lip weighing her options, if this adult was willing to help sort things out then is the best chance she had at the moment to sort out the situation. She nodded.
"The President left me with a message that a new teacher was coming to help us. She didn't leave us a name just that The Guardian will be here and to be ready" She said looking at us.
Ghost and his companion were taken aback by this. They both nodded in unison.
"That's us. And we will do whatever it takes to set things right" Ghost said with unbreakable resolve.
"That's good because we have much to do…"
Rushing to the elevator we take it down to the lower levels. The sight of the massive buildings standing tall against the sky was breathtaking. This was the 3rd human city we have seen to be untouched by the collapse.
"Recently we ran into a crisis and waited for a teacher to get a handle on the situation" The woman said.
"Not to be rude but we never caught your name" Ghost said, being polite.
"Oh My name is Rin… I'm just so caught up in this mess that proper greetings skimmed by me" she said, rubbing the bridge of her nose. The Guardian looked incredulously at her pointy elf-like ears.
"You are inside the general student council building which oversees all of academy city here in Kivotos"
"I'm surprised you are not asking questions," Rin said, raising an eyebrow.
"Questions are for when the situation is under control. As of now we need to get a grip on things below" The Guardian said in his gruff voice. He didn't speak a lot but the times he did is when things were serious enough for him to speak up.
"Understood questions after we get a handle on this" She said smiling at the leadership role that Guardian sensei was already fulfilling.
"Ever since the Student council president vanished the Control of the GSC over the city had wavered. Groups of interest have taken the chance to use the chaos to cause more chaos, what resources we have at hand are trying to take control of the situation but as of now it's an uphill battle"
The guardian was thinking while the ghost analyzed below.
The door stopped as we walked through an automated door out of the office.
The Guardian and Ghost join her their Destiny, awaits…
