"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."

".... so stay away from the death pits... got it.... I mean I would survive. But not.... well. " Garuud starts making his way through the landscape dodging the time splosions and the Hive stuck inside. One tried to grab Garuud as he passed by he punched it into the one of the splosions " no touchy feely!" It went flying in and calmed it down for a second. Then it went back to exploding over and over again... only with thrall bits. " Gross! Its like a blender.... I cant stop watching...hahaha" Garuud chuckled as he made his way through the landscape. He the spied the First half of the shield on the stairs. Surrounded by screaming Hive and the time splosions. "Oh great!" Garuud makes his way up the stairs slowly.

As Anaxis watched Ginger exit the portal, it became evidently clear that Atheon was almost finished with tearing apart time. Most of the floor flickered sporadically, along with the rest of the room. The only sections of the floor that remained unaffected were the sections around the portals, the middle platform, and the section under the crystals where Atheon stood. "That's one piece. All that's needed is the other and you can reconstruct the Shield."

Garuud comes out of the right portal carrying a shield piece and threw a grenade into the group rushing out behind him! "Ginger! Got my half! Where is Alice at?? We are going to need her for this.. We need cover fire to take him down for good!" Garuud rushes to the center to meet Ginger.
