John just blinked there for a second.
"Okay... It's a capture mission. I'm after a certain Taken Hive Ogre. I believe that he has the information I need to get into their realm. If I do it correctly, I may successfully find a way to reserve Taking"
"[i]Tell the young lady what happens if you do it wrong[/i]"
"-sigh- I may end up being Taken. It's rather dangerous. But, aside from a lot of glimmer, the spoils of war, and my respect, I offer this"
He takes out a sharp, red Hand cannon. It's heavily polished and has a clean bayonet. The barrel was long and rather heavy and the sights were non-holographic.
"I based it off of my own. It handles like a faster Hawkmoon. Plus it causes a hell of a lot of damage"
English

The titans eyes Fall onto the Handcannon but she pushes it back towards him "I appreciate it but I don't like hand cannons" She then takes a Rifle off her back And she sets it on the bar table "I enjoy my red spectre auto Rifle more" she giggles again "But alright I'll help regardless" He ghost immediately Jumps in front of her face [i]Are you crazy Reya!? You could end up dead..or he could end up taken and He could kill you![/i] the titan Takes her hands and takes ahold once more of her ghost "It's ok I'll be fine" she looks up at the warlock "Though my ghost does offer a good question, what am I to do if you turn taken?"
-
This raised a good question. No Guardian has ever been successfully Taken before. Some have came close but Oryx could not completely subjugate them. "I recommend you run. It an unknown. There is no data on Taken Guardians. And I cannot say what will happen." His eyes drifted to the auto rifle on the bar. "Great looking weapon. Red Death model, right?"
-
"Yeah a prototype of the original weapon, though The original is in the hands of another titan right now, but that's not important." She Sighs "Well whenever you're ready let's find that ogre or If you're just sending me tell me where to go"
-
He laughed rather loudly. "You think I'm in any shape to fight? I'd be going into a death trap. Odds are I'd fling my sword off the edge or the abyss." He calmed down. After a second he rose and shifted his robes, exposing a large, bronze hilt. A rather rare thing, to see an old sword. "Beside me dying, the Ogre only comes out at the dead of night. Considering dawn is breaking on the Dreadnaught, we have at least 40 Earth hours.
-
"So I'm gonna guard you while I do all the fighting to the ogre' ok cool fair enough" she stands up and puts her Helmet on, one of the first vanguard helmets that has been taken over but the FWC as she takes her gun and puts it on her back "I'm ready when you are"
-
John just laughed slightly and stretched. "It will take some time. And I can't say that you can just support. Restraining an Ogre requires an immensely powerful rune. It will take some time to summon. So you may need to keep him busy. After we take out all the drones" He drew his sword and tested its heft. He felt the familiar, pinpoint balance of the solid steel. Many seemingly random symbols ran along the blade, no two were the same. "Mind if your Ghost drives? Mine is not to be trusted." "[i]Bite me[/i]"
-
"Alright I got it and I guess he could drive" Her ghost Flies up "If you touch her I'll break your hand myself warlock " he says as he starts flying to the hanger.She Laughs a bit "Don't worry about him, he's a protective little bugger it's the reason his shell is Of taken Color and eveything else"
-
Uh huh. Very protective. That's all he could think. Was there something he did? He was the one approached. "Yeah. Real likable. If you don't mind, I'm going to try and sleep off the drink. Wake me up once the sun sets of the Dreadnaught" [spoiler]ive got to go to bed. I'm supposed to spend the day with the gf tomorrow [/spoiler]
-
"Yeah no problem I'll bring you up into my ship and You can sleep there And I'll bring us to the dread naught" [spoiler]Alright have a good night[/spoiler]
-
John's eyes snapped open. Something awoke him. He didn't know what but something kicked him awake. He looked around and immediately sprung out of bed. Or the hammock he slept in. Where was he? What did he do? He looked around, noticing the short roof and irregular angles of the room. "Whose ship is this? I don't remember... Anything from last night" He saw his gear was mostly against the wall, in a small recess between two support beams. In a few minutes, he equipped his last part of gear and stretched. "Averlia? You here?" "[i]I am. Do want to wake her up?[/i]" "Huh? Who?" "[i]That Titan who drove you here[/i]" And it slammed him like a Kell's fist. The events of last night. He actually was in a fireteam, even with only one other person. "Damnit. You said she's asleep?" "[i]Yes[/i]" Wait, if he didn't remember that then... "I didn't... Do... Anything, right?" "[i]With a young girl like that. You stood no chance[/i]" "Hey, that's a little harsh. I think I'm doing just fine" John and his Ghost began to bicker. Slowly rising in volume.
-
Reya Slept Soundly in her bed but her ghost is Awake moving around the ship and when it hears him it stops "If you don't shut up and let her sleep I swear I'll throw you out myself "
-
John looked up at the Ghost, coursing with Taken energy. There was still mild annoyance on his face but then a dark grin emerged. John turned back to his Ghost still smiling. "[i]What's with that smile? Did you finally crack?[/i]" "You were getting on my case for the Titan being a young woman. But I see a rather manly AI floating over there" "[i]Excuse me?[/i]" "Why don't you talk to him? He looks like a good catch." "[i]EXCUSE ME?![/i]" The Ghost flew into his armor and in a second he clutched his head repeatedly shouting. "Ow! Ow! OW! STOP IT ALREADY! IM SORRY." "[i]SAY IT AGAIN. I DARE YOU[/i]"
-
Reya Yawns and gets out of bed only wearing her underwear As she stands up and stretches with a yawn and she looks over at the warlock and his ghost "Yeah maybe he needs alittle Somthing, might make him less of a Piss pot" She giggles as she walks to get her armor on "by the way his name is Singe" Singe squints his eye at Reya before looking over at the warlock and his ghost

Edited by cloudless9: 12/7/2015 4:42:12 AMJohn was completely speechless. He slept in the thermals under his gear as not to be rude. But here she was, half-naked. "I-I apologize. I should not have been here. I'm sorry about that" He turned around and quickly walked out. He tried to be respectful as possible. But of course he failed. "[i]Well... That was... Something[/i]" "Yeah... Maybe not the best place place to have an argument." "[i]It is a small ship[/i]" "Still though. I don't even know if Titans wear anything underneath- OW!" "[i]Stop thinking about it[/i]" "You could have just asked. Work just as well" "[i]I know. But tormenting you is much more fun[/i]" "You are a sadistic little ball" There was a brief silence. "OW!"
-
Reya walks over in her armor fixing her hair "Hey don't worry about it if I really cared if you saw Anything I would have told you to go somewhere else but I don't care. Not like anything more is gonna happen, but when you're drunk you tend to get Grabby " She smirked Finding it funny to Play tricks on the old warlock, Most of her amusement came from killing an enemy with her fist but this was just as much fun "We're approaching the dreadnought now so get ready you two" She turns and walks back to the pilot seat and sits down strapping on her helmet
-
John just sunk his head in shame. "I get... Grabby?" "[i]What... Did... You... DO?![/i]" "I don't know! I was drunk! Give me a break!" "[i]That's it. No drinking for a month. You need a cleanse.[/i]" "A month? I'll die! In 50 years I haven't been sober longer than 3 days!" "[i]I don't care. No drink[/i]" "This day is already horrible. And I have to go tackle an Ogre"
-
Reya starts trying not to laugh but then fully breaks into one and is laughing for a few minutes before she turns her chair aeound to face them "Calm down he didn't try anything. I'm just messing around, It's what I do I'm a joking person, but I can take it to far somtimes." Singe flies down to her "Why do they argue like an old married couple?"
-
"We do not! She is my Ghost! I was just unlucky with this one- OW!" "[i]Don't give me that. To your question, I suppose it's because it is the most natural development between an older man and woman[/i]" "I'm not even aged 40!" The Ghost flew out of his armor and a small, white beam hit John, near his heart. "[i]37. Not too much longer before you lose that fight[/i]" "If I make it to 40, I swear to the Traveler, I will strange the bloody Speaker" "[i]Because I found you?[/i]" "Exactly. You were too good at being a Ghost" "[i]So you blame him[/i]" "Who else do I blame? Ikora?"
-
Reya Watches the two for a second "Relax You guys Don't be so harsh, she found you for a reason Big guy And Just like Singe here He wouldn't be compatible with anyone else. Now We're landing so get ready"
-
"Good. This subject was getting too real" "[i]Keep this up and I may let you have your wish of dying[/i]" "Not until the job is done. I'm very stubborn" The ship touched down at the Hull Breach and he leapt off before it could transmat him. "Come on! No time to waste. We have to head for the Odium Plate." "[i]You have 30 minutes before the Ogre is scheduled[/i]" "Not enough time for a binding ruin. Unfortunate"
-
Reya gets out of her ship and jumps down next to him "Then let's get moving"
-
John took off, bounding around like a small child. He heading towards the Court of Oryx. The first Hive he encountered were skirmishing with Cabal who wandered too far from the ship. He leapt off a fallen pillar, sword in hand, and cleaved cleanly through a Knight's head. The Acolytes roared a challenge but he gave them no time. In his free hand, lightning charged and struck down the three with a forked bolt. The Cabal turned his attention to him now. "Out of range. No time to draw" He quickly adapted his stance and a bright, white light covered him. A ruin burned in front of his sword as he blocked. It looked somewhat like an upturned F
-
Singe looks at Reya "Well then" Reya smiles and runs after him killing anything quickly with her fuel and fists
-
Edited by cloudless9: 12/8/2015 6:22:06 AMThe Cabal's firepower slammed against the sword but nothing seemed to be giving. The more they shot, the brighter the ruin became. Soon it was blinding to look at. "Cith solais" The light grew smaller and brighter and the sword began to shake. A circle of ruins appeared and then a flurry of little bolts showered the area, tearing the Cabal to shreds. John slowly rose from his stance and stumbled. His sword point was in the dust and he was sweating. "[i]You overdid it. You weren't trying to show off, were you?[/i]" "I decided to shower the area rather than multi target. That's all" "[i]Sure[/i]" John just shook his head and shouted from where he was. "Hey! We can't spend all day here. We don't have the luxury of time."
-
Reya looked at him "Fine let's keep going though If you don't want to waste time don't shown off for me"
