Ginger runs up, barely managing to catch his breath. "I made the jump. I totally freaking made the j-." He realizes where he is with a start, and in a blur of motion has a fusion rifle out, with the stock braced up against his shoulder. "Alice, I'll take point. Clear out some of the smaller Vex while I take out that mean looking Minotaur."

" Oh you made it Pumpkin!" Garuud yells from below as he throws a grenade from behind cover and it takes out a group of Vex. coming out of the portal behind him. Just as the portal on the right hand side opens and starts spewing out hive. They swarmed across the room and started attacking Garuud. "They like me! They really like me!" Garuud punches one.. killing instantly and creating a sunspot as he gained a over shield. Thrall kept coming, more and more out of the portals. As The Taken Aetheon was firing at the Guardians. They wore down Garuuds over shield and then a hive knight came up behind him and slashed him with its blade. Cutting him nearly in half. " Ouch! My freaking legs. I kinda need tho..." He didn't finish the sentence as another one rushed up and stabbed him through the chest.

With a shout, Ginger gathers Arc Light around his body, and for a second his Light eclipses all of the brightness in the Vault. Then, he shoots down towards the group of Hive like a fallen angel, releasing the light in a violent maelstrom of energy. One of the Knights, judging by his height Ginger guessed that he was Grixis, managed to survive the blast, but he was more concerned about Garuud. Running over to his Ghost, he gave him some of his light and was able to revive him. Wasting no time, he turns around and begins firing at the Hive and Vex forces with an Auto Rifle, using a portal as cover.

To Gingers surprise The light had no effect on Garuud. In fact no ghost came out to revive him, he was already healing and pulling the sword out of his chest and the cut in his mid section was gone. " That smarts! Every freaking time! bahahaha ouch! Thanks for the back up!" Garuud said as he stood up. He then Said " Play time is over! Time to bring out the big guns." He Activated his hammer and threw two at each portal creating a chain reaction that kept happening as more and more enemies came from them. "Lets deal with Aetheon while we can."

Alice Shadow shot the Taken Atheon, meaning that her friends could deal a ton more damage while she snipes from afar. That's when the a Ruptures activate. "Guys!? To your sides!" She says through the comms as Captains and Knights come flooding out.

Ginger surrounds himself with Light once more, but instead of using a Fist of Havoc and releasing the energy he maintains it, slamming into the Taken Captain with extreme force and speed.

"Do they even need me?" Alice questions thin air. "I mean, what's the point? They're perfect-" Alice raises her hand, her three swords floating free of their sheaths, then she flings them forward, the swords cutting through any and every enemy around them. Alice then raises her other hand and slides it onto the other hands palm. Then she splits her hands and at the exact same time, the three swords duplicate into copies of themselves, and she gets back to work sending one group to the enemy's and one to Atheon.

As the fight between Vex and Hive against Guardians raged below, a Hive Tomb Ship tore through space underneath the surging arched crystals. Atheon remained on the incline, while the Blades turned to ash and were transported in the ship. But Grixis stayed where he was. While the battle raged on, Grixis' left arm became the ethereal energies of Light and Darkness. He instantly shot his hand the air, sending a shockwave of the two energies across the chamber. The battle stilled for a moment, as he too was transported into the Tomb ship, before it passed through its portal once more, leaving the Guardians to their demise. ------------------------------------------ Anaxis was watching through the Guardians helmet cams. He was having to use an old Vex mind core to get a decent signal while they were in the Vault. And what he saw Grixis do before he left, left him in silent horror. He had seen that before. That raw power that he used, was only used for one thing. He quickly patched through the Guardians. "Guardians, you need to end this fight now!" As he spoke, he watched as all of the Vex constructs that had been destroyed and Hive that had been reduced to ash, got back up. The entirety of the Hive's bodies glowed a combination of bright Light, and black Darkness, while the same energies took form of an lost appendages on the Vex. They all looked to the Guardinas. "Careful Guardians, this is not the Taken you're fighting! Quickly, destroy Atheon before time is torn asunder!"

Alice looked at Atheon, eyes glowing white, as she slammed three swords in a triangle around Atheon. Then, she spins a finger in a circle lazily, as each sword starts to spin around Atheon, increasing in speed. Each Element leaves a trail which begin to fuse together, creating pure light energy. Soon after, Atheon was standing in a pool of Liquid Light, only contained by the spinning blades.

"Quickly! Lets hit him with everything we have! " Garuud yelled as he jumped up into the air and fired 2 rockets into Aetheon and one into the group of massing enemies. He then Threw a thermite grenade in front of the right portal keeping them at bay... for a time. Garuud pulled out his 1000 yard stare and emptied round after round into Aetheon Each hitting the sac in his middle. " Bang BANG BANG!" Garuud said with a giant smile the whole time. Because while this was life and death, this was the most alive he has ever felt.

"Fine." Alice says from her location above. She raises her hands, beginning to bring the pool of light up to Atheons head. It screams in agony as it begins to melt away, it's legs disappearing into molten light. Alice smiles, glad at her skills in sword pl- Something heavy hits her head from behind, knocking her forwards. She turns quickly, trying to see who hit her, but then something comes into her view, hits her jaw, and knocks her out cold. The swords stop fighting, dropping to the ground. The second set around Atheon disappear, leaving the molten light flickering off in flakes. Alice is dragged away by the unknown entity that knocked her out.

Once Garuud noticed that the fancy sword light show stopped he knew that he had to act. he jumps up and yells " For Asgard!" Then summons his hammers again and keep hitting Aetheon over and over again. Hammers flying by raining death upon it and hitting enemies next to him starting chain reactions. "Die you tin can!" The red gem on his helm glowing brighter and brighter. "Yes, o bearer mine' feed us." Garuud threw one last hammer that brought Aetheon to its knee. Garuud looked up completely out of power. " I need him dead, I need more.... power.."

Anaxis watched the Guardians' barrage on the resurrected Atheon. Parts of it's chassis were blown into non-existence. But something wasn't right. The only times it attacked were with its main cannon, but what was- Suddenly the arched crystals that overlooked the chamber began to pulse large amounts of energy. That's when he saw it, all of Atheon's destroyed chassis sections were being replaced with the Light and Dark energies, taking shape into whatever was lost. The entire left side of it's torso and head, parts of its legs, everything. It was as if he didn't take any damage whatsoever. Then Atheon raised it's white and black ethereal arm into the air. The air shimmered, and the chamber seemed to be 'warping' in on itself. And he knew what Atheon was doing. "By the Traveller," he said in whisper like, horror filled voice, "he's tearing time itself apart." His ship's screens that had been monitoring the Vault of Glass were going haywire at the events that were happening. But he looked at one screen in particular. It showed a Light still inside the time space. But it showed no signs of life, what was this- That's when it hit him. It was the Aegis Shield. But according to the monitors, it was splitting apart. "Wait a second."An idea came to him. He put all the pieces of his idea together... Yes, it was absolutely crazy, but if done correctly, they could end this once and for all. He boosted the Mind Core to it's limits, giving him a clear signal to the Guardian's through the chaos in the Vault. "Guardians, listen to me and listen well. Atheon is tearing time apart, and is in a state where normal means of destroying it will have no effect. But there is a way to stop it: The Aegis Shield. Only problem is it's been torn into two halves, one piece in the Past, the other in the Future. You need to collect both halves, and pour your Light into it to reconstruct it. Once that is done, fire it at Atheon. That will put Atheon into a phase where time inside the Vault will have no meaning, your weapons and Supers will have no limit. But be warned, the Aegis Shield will only have one charge, so you will only have one chance to kill Atheon. Hurry, end The Bane of Time!"

Garuud sits up. " 5 more minutes? no, okay. Ginger go to the left portal with the Vex.... I will handle the right portal with the hive. We need those pieces. Then I need a hot oil bath and a really... really big taco." He stands up and starts moving faster and faster to the right portal. "Where is Alice?! We need a female touch for this!"

"Careful Guardians, with time being torn to pieces, the Past and Future may get a little... Weird." And as he suspected, when the Titan entered the portal, all of the landscape was literally being destroyed as if by an invisible explosion. As the debris went outwards, it stopped in mid-air before rearranging itself back to where the detonation happened, as if the 'detonation' never happened, then being torn up again and placed back over and over.

Garuud stops short. " Gods it looks like my place after a Mexican buffet and beer binge. So Anaxis, what would happen to someone caught in something like this?" Garuud asked as he looked onto the Chaos.

"You would probably be torn apart by time, be put back together, and torn apart again over and over forever while you're still alive."
