[b]Lord of the Hunt... And Other Titles[/b]
[i]The Tower, Earth[/i]
After the morning's... Interesting turn of events, Ginger had grown quite bored with ordinary life. Waiting eagerly for any form of order from the Vanguard, authorization for the mission he so desperately needed, he had simply slinked around the Tower for hours, much to the delight of... Well, nobody. His mind drifted to the magnificent beast the Guardian had flown to the Tower Courtyard (even more than the magnificent Hunter he had chatted up the past night), and the cryptic warning he had given.
[i]Perhaps that Ahamkara was right. Maybe it would benefit us all if we simply let them rebuild and repopulate. What if they seek vengeance, for their slain forbears? What if this mission could be the death of u-[/i]
He was interrupted by a low whirr emanating from his Ghost, the only sound the mute machine could make after its injury. The pitched whirr indicated that a transition was incoming, from the Vanguard, apparently.
[quote][i][b]INCOMING TRANSMISSION/ COMMANDER ZAVALA[/b][/i]
[i]Guardians, we've received a transmission from one of the Fireteams we sent to Venus forty-eight hours ago. They didn't make it. There last transmission stated that an Ahamkara that we have identified as Shovaroth, is on Venus. If he's there, then suspect that the Hive are too. Whatever the reason; be careful. This Ahamkara is unlike anything we have faced before. Zavala out. [/i][/quote]
Without missing a beat, he sprinted towards his ship, any previous misgivings blown away by sheer excitement. Turning a sharp corner into the Hangar, he ran straight into a familiar, and an admittedly wanted face.
(Open to anyone going on the Quest... You know which one I'm speaking of)

[i] What would the hive want with the vault?[/i] She thinks, but knows the answer will not come. She takes a step out of the cave and starts walking toward the battlefield.

As his ship whirred overhead the Ishtar Sink, Ginger took a moment to observe the unusual chaos below. The numerous green distortions in the sky were telltale signs of Hive forces gathering outside the Vault of Glass and engaging the local Vex forces. The Vex is question seemed overwhelmed by the sheer numbers opposing them, and they were slowly pushed back into the Vault, closely followed by the Hive forces. [i]Curious, Hive on Venus? This can't be a coincidence...[/i] After a quick moment of decision, he gave his Ghost a few rapid directions "Ghost, pull up the ship now. Bring me down quickly, by those structures adjacent to the Spire. I need to check this out." The Ghost gave an affirmation in the form of a nod, and in a furious flurry of Light he appeared on the Vex structures, following the rear of the Hive forces. He detected faint Light against the enormous backdrop of Darkness, but gave it no heed as he stepped into the Vault of Glass.
-
Alice sees the Ship fly across the sky and immediately recognizes it as the guy from the bar. "No way..." She mutters. She picks up the pace, seeing him enter the Vault.
-
When Ginger recognizes the source of Light is nearing him, he decides to look over his shoulder to see who it was... And his insides turned to jelly. It was that girl from the bar. [i]No freaking way...[/i] Hopefully she wouldn't recognize him in armor. He was conflicted whether to ignore her, or to go out and greet her. She could cost him precious time on one hand, and certainly cloud his judgement, but... Well, she was also hot as hell, and like all guys, Ginger thought with his privates rather than with his brain. He turned around and waved, "Hey, fancy seeing you here."
-
Alice grins under her helmet, and decides to mess with his brain. She sprints the last few metres towards him, but instead of stopping, she rushes past him, slapping him on the shoulder as she runs. "See ya in there when everything is dead!" She calls over her shoulder, rushing straight into the Vaults caves.

Edited by Zalamiir: 10/25/2015 1:39:18 AMAnaxis-12 was rushing to and fro around his desk, desperately trying to find a signal amplifier from one of his past missions. Why he was in a state of panic was because, recently, he picked up immense energy readings on Venus. He thought he might as well look into it, thinking it was a false alarm. But then the energy signatures became identifiable as Hive in origin. He decided to look into it further, and picked up the energies of the one that made would have made his heart stop if he had one. It was Grixis, and apparently with an entire invasion force too. What made it worse was that they were all converging on the Vault of Glass. If he was heading into the Vault... No, he didn't want to think about it, it had to be stopped. He searched for any signals from Guardians on Venus, and was relieved when he found two, and they were very close to the Vault as well. Finally, he found the amplifier and Transmatted into his ship. He quickly took a seat and equipped the amplifier to his ship's comm relay. When the ship locked onto the Guardians' signals, he wasted no time at all. "Hello? Guardians? If you are reading me, please respond."
-
Ginger paused from his run, catching his breath before responding. The source of the transmission was from a nearby Jumpship, and the man who spoke sounded distressed. Was there some sort of anomalous activity going on, for something surely did seem off about this entire situation. He spoke quickly, and his voice was tinged with curiosity, "Copy that, I read you. This is Ginger, what do you need?"

[spoiler]Waahhh?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Sorry, everything is wacky right now[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Its ok. I can tell who's replying to me so sorry if this wasn't meant for me[/spoiler]
-
The wheels in his brain slowly churned, obviously befuddled by the strange woman. Suddenly, a few moments later, it dawned on him, [i]Oh, so it's a race now, eh?[/i] Grinning, he turns around and sprints back into the Vault. He was fast for a Titan, and hopefully he could at least keep up.
-
Alice, heart pumping, lungs loving the fresh air and fast speed, pulls a Voidwall grenade from her belt. She throws it down at her feet, the flames rising high into the air, and due to her lockdown perk, last a good six seconds. "Sorry!" She shouts back at Ginger.
-
When he sees the Void Wall grenade, he shrieks in a relatively unmanly matter (having muted his helmet, of course), and barely managed to leap over it. He slowly picked up pace again, realizing that Alice had thrown the grenade, [i]That bitch... She really does want to win the race, eh?[/i] He reaches behind his back and pulls out a Lightning Grenade, throwing it like a tomahawk at the wall besides her. He could play dirty too...
-
Alice's enhanced radar (keen scout perk) sees the grenade coming, so she jumps, spinning in mid air with her leg outstretched, and just as the grenade touches the wall, she kicks it back towards the Titan, sticking it onto the ground in the thin cave entrance.
-
He yelps in surprise as the blast hits him the legs, knocking him off his feet. Awkwardly, he breaks his momentum with a roll, and picks up the pace. With a burst of speed he catches up to her, and dives at her. Knowing how agile she is, he adjusts his direction in midair, catching her as she tried to dodge. He wrestles her to the floor, and pins her down. He removes his helmet to reveal his face, and leans in a little bit closer... And then grins, gets up, and sprints off, taking advantage of your surprise.
-
"Na-ah," she says, then gets up herself, taking off at a sprint. She catches up to him easily, comes up level with him, then waves... Before tripping him over, sending him face first into the mud.
-
Though he admittedly got a little mud in his face, he still protected himself from completing the fall by placing both hands on the ground, and using his forward momentum to vault over the rest of the puddle, and he was back in the race. He closed the distance again, but when he came next to Alice he stopped abruptly. "Alice stop. I'm getting a transmission... I think we might be in trouble."
-
He was relieved when he got a response. But they weren't out of the danger zone yet. He quickly focused back at the matter at hand. "Listen Ginger and whoever is with you, I don't have much time. What is the status on the Vault? Did the Vex ward off the Hive?"
-
He gets up from Alice, still grinning, and begins running while he speaks. "Uh... They fled back into the Vault, and the Hive followed them in. I'm right on their tails... Y'know, if they had tails, of course. There was an odd looking Knight at the head of their forces too, it seemed noteworthy enough for mention."
-
Alice runs straight around the corner, into a large open crevice below her, she stops herself on the very edge. She turns around to see the Titan had disappeared. She ran back and saw him out of breath, talking to... Someone, via the coms. "Hello?" She asks the coms.
-
"Hello, guessing you are the second Guardian." He put his attention back to Ginger. "This Knight, was he tall as a Guardian? Also followed by three other Knights with Solar, Arc, and Void blades, and one that looks like the Dark Blade?
-
"I... I don't really remember. He was shorter than the others, that I remember, and what you say does kind of ring a bell... But I can't confirm until I get a better visual."
-
"What?" Alice asks. "You mean that Grixis guy or something?"
