"Uhh, duh, learn up on the history of Hive and the other races. Knowing is half the battle, not knowing a Hive leader is practically dooming us to fail." Alice laughs on the inside at the Titan.

"This is no time for jokes! If he is there, inside the Vault, then we are literally out of time! Hurry, get to Atheon's Chamber before it's too late!" This was bad, there was only one reason for Grixis to be there. If he succeeds his objective; they were all doomed. Suddenly there was static. The Vault was interfering with the signal. "Hurry Guardians, if he succeeds, we are all doomed!"

"Err... Roger that. On it." [spoiler]Short, I know, but I'm playing rn[/spoiler]

"Right." She says slowly. Then her head snaps up. "Alright, let's go." Then she turns and takes off at a great sprint.

Garuud shows up and the vault and upon seeing the devastation runs in and screams at the top of his lungs. " Marco!!!!!!!!!" Waiting for one of the people to yell polo. "Vex murder bots and Hive crashing their party... its must be my birthday!!! Oh happy day!" Garuud yells as he pulls his Fabian strategy out and runs further into the cave system.

"Why is it that every guy I've met is showing up here?" Alice sighs. "I should take a vacation." She says, before following the sounds of Garuud yelling.

"It's probably your animal magnitizism bhahaha" Garuud says as he turns the corner " long time no see 47 ronin, how you been? You vacation in the vault of glass too!? The hot springs and vex and hive really work out the kinks bhahaha. "

"I'm an animal am I?" Alice says with amusement as she follows Garuud.

"Sure! Arnt we all!? Especially you in combat " Garuud thinks back to their fight in the hanger and starts humming blood hound gangs discovery channel. As they turned the corner they came to floating platforms swarming with thrall.

Alice uncovers her Bolt-Caster. "You or m-"

"It's mai birthday! " Garuud yells as he throws a thermite grenade onto the platform. " wait for it... Wait for iiiiiiitttt..." The grenade activated and mows through them all blowing them off the platform in pieces. "Strikeah!!!.... You were saying something? Probably about how awesome I am."

A sniper round echoes as Alice kills a Thrall on that same platform. "I'm sorry, what'd you say?!" Alice yells at Garuud. "I couldn't hear you over the sound of you missing one!"

" one out of like a hundred is not a bad track record! Especially with one grenade ...did you see their faces?? They were like ahhhh! Whats happening!? Blaaaagh.... Ahhh priceless!" Garuud yelled as he jumped across the platforms.

"Except," Alice says, speeding ahead of him "you should be able take them ALL out if your that awesome."

Ginger yells out from the platform, "Yeah, she has you there. Just like I've got myself... Up here... Y'know, for sniping and moral support." There's a slight edge to his voice, as if he's afraid of something.

[b]Meanwhile, deep inside the Vault of Glass[/b] Grixis and his Blades entered huge expanse that once belonged to the mighty Axis Mind, Atheon. Now only the broken machines of past, present, and future lay here. Men'kaar and Calvik broke off and went to the left of the room, while Vôlik-Dal and Stronix went right. But he went forward, jumping across to the small platform and onto the other side. He landed on the stone ground. He looked up at the two collections of crystals that arched upwards to make, along with the floor, a triangle shape while he walked up the steps. They seemed to have lost their glow over the year. But that would change. The Blades came and took their places at his sides. All the while, they looked at the giant, broken frame before them. "[i]This is the Times Conflux[/i]?" Spoke Calvik, breaking the absolute silence of the chamber. "Indeed, it [i]was."[/i] Grixis responded. Then he walked forward toward the broken Vex. He ran his clawed hand down the arm of it's glistening white body. He continued until he was standing where it's head was. Such a shame, a once mighty being, brought down so low. His train of thought was interrupted when Vôlik-Dal spoke. "[i]My liege, the guard that we placed at the entrance are speaking of three Guardians forcing their way into the Vault."[/i] He was quick to respond. "I know. But they cannot stop what happens next." He knelt down and placed a hand on the white chassis, before his entire arm took on an ghastly shimmer of Light and Darkness. "Let us begin, shall we?" At his touch, the Vault responded. It knew what he was trying to do. And surprisingly, it did not resist. All around, Vex units that resisted the Hive now took their side with them. The crystals above him now glowed with the energies of Light and Darkness. "[i][b]You were once a force to be reckoned with. You once held the title of Times Conflux, and kept the balance of time in check. Now you lie broken, shattered, destroyed by the warriors of Light. Take back your mantle. Rise from your slumber, claim the Vault of Glass as yours once more, take your revenge on the world!"[/b][/i] At his words, the giant frame began shift, it's left arm that was no longer there, now replaced with Light and Darkness in the shape of its original appendage. It grasped it's weapon, and rose to it's full height. It looked down at him, and bowed. "[i][b]Welcome to the world once more, Atheon, Bane of Time[/b][/i]."

Garuud looked up at Ginger " You okay up there sunshine??! Arent strikers supposed to be up close and personal?? Bahhahahaha" Garuud moved into the next room Where a giant door could be seen in a room of floating platforms. The room appeared to be empty but it seemed to have a bad feeling about it. *sighs* " This is going to be interesting" Garuud said with a smirk as he jumped down.

Ginger's face paled under his helmet, and the cumbersome piece disappeared in a flash of light. If he had to jump, he would do it completely aware of his surroundings. Cautiously he took a few steps backwards, heel to toe, and then leapt off the edge to the platform below. At the last possible second, he boosted and broke his fall. "Up close and personal? That's my sex life, not my combat motto."

"Oh really?! Mines hammer time. In both Combat and other escapades. Because these are not the Hammer" *indicating his fists* and Garuud jumped down into the main area. Landing right where a conflux would normally spawn. " Good thing that these things say dead now, I mean unless the writers decided to something crazy hahaha." Garuud starts to make his way into the room.

[spoiler]Fourth wall... Really? Lol[/spoiler] Questioning his friend's sanity, Ginger followed him into the Glass Throne room. Surrounding the Vex corpses were Hive forces... And a reincarnated Atheon. [spoiler]Im moving to my new post now[/spoiler]
