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.
English
-
"I can't wait to see what your ghost is gonna say about putting your hand on my chest, even though it was to give me night vision...at least I hope" She starts Carefully walking
-
"Oh, I can feel her trembling with rage. But it's agreed we don't fight if we're working. So I get a free pass for as long as I need" John lightly laid a hand on her shoulder. He leaned forward and spoke past her. "You should see a series of small platforms flying around. Once one comes, tell me and we'll get on. They should respond"
-
She nods as him and Reya Jump onto platform after platform each time she says until they reach the other side of were they are going
-
A tall, regal door stands before them. High arches and statues of Hive Knights stand watch. "Turn around, I need to disable the ruins. There should be light in here when we open the doors. And for both our sakes, please be quiet. We're going to need the element of surprise"
-
She takes off her helmet and Sticks her tounge out at him, then puts it back on and turns around
-
John just shook his head and suppressed a laugh. It wasn't easy, however. He turned her around and inspected the ruins. Then he simply dusted them away with a few swipes.
-
Reya turns back around to face him and crosses her arms waiting
-
He just smiles and quietly whispers to her "Yeah, that's all I needed to do to get rid of them" He quickly walked over to the doors before she could respond and runs his hands along the doors, looking for something. He stopped over a small chip in the left door and drew his sword. He inserted it all the way in, not a chip but a keyhole. With a quick jerk the door opened a sliver. He motioned her over here
-
He shakes his head and walks over to him, her boots making a soft click with each step as she draws her Red spectre
-
He looked back at the rifle drawn. Then up at her. He nodded once and pushed hard on the door, swinging it out. He couldn't see what lay on the other side. He trusted her to tell him whatever she saw
-
She puts her weapon in first before moving her body in As she steps through slowly Looking around
-
He whispered just loud enough for her to hear. "What do you see? Do you see the Ogre? The Taken?
-
She looks around and Lowers her weapon and whispers "No I dont.." Before she Finishes a normal orgre grabs her and Takes her in its claws and starts repeatildy smashing her into the ground

In the blink of an eye, three slashes appeared in the air, severing the muscles in the knees and armpits. The Ogre collapsed, reduced to little more than a live rag doll. John wasn't finished. He mounted the pile of flesh and raised his sword. "You have no use. A scriosadh" His sword accelerated unnaturally fast and cleaved the Ogre in half. In the moments it disappeared to ash, he planted his sword in the ground and ran to her. "You alright? You can't have one measly Ogre kill you"
-
She gets up and dusts herself off a few small cracks in her armor One around her fore arm And On near her neck "Mother...no He didn't kill me, he wasn't strong enough just a nuisance. Caught me by surprise" She Takes her hammer out and lights it activating it Her fire burning high "Now I'm angry"
-
"You aren't injured? He slammed you against the floor. Maybe you should play support like you said in the bar"
-
She turns to him fire burning wild "I'd hush if I were you, and no I'm not s titan to be hurt by a baby ogre" She Sees another are and Hurls herself towards it with her hammer impacting it and flying right through it making the ogre Burn to ash
-
"My Traveler..." "[i]She is a Sunbreaker.[/i]" "I know but still... I should try to find the Ogre. With her taking the agro like that, I'm sure I could move mostly unseen." John snuck around the series of bridges that made up the room. Large, green chandeliers provided light. But the gravity was slightly off. It pulled towards one direction every so slightly. He moved towards the pull and saw it. The Odium Plate. It looked like black marble. And it was at least 3 stories tall. Everything in the room seemed to be pulled to it. And a large group of Hive were worshipping it. But the most notable thing was 3 Taken Wizards and a Taken Hydra. They surrounded a massive Taken Ogre. The Ogre was tamed and restricted by the Hydra. The small group was closest to the plate and John could see faint lines of Taken energy between the Ogre and plate.
-
For a bit he could hear Reya Destroying any taken or hive that stepped in her path but eventually It stopped as she crept up behind him and observed as well
-
"Did you take out all of them? I don't want anyone disrupting this ceremony. It's the first time I've seen it" John took out a small pad and began writing notes. It appeared they were doing nothing but John's eyesight was superb.
-
"Ugh...yeah I did...There all dead..."
-
"Why with that noise? Something the matter?" While he was talking to her, he was still inscribing notes. Occasionally he would even utter small phrases "Fascinating"
-
"I barley Ever....activate like that...I'm not used to the adrenaline Rush That the fire gives me..." Shes breathing kind of heavily but trying not to so she doesn't alert the Ritual
-
"If you want to rest, then I'll have a little fun myself" John slowly rises and breathes deeply. The pad disappeared as he slowly raised his arms. A soft current of wind flowed around him as he strained his muscles. The room began to darken as a thick black cloud rolled overhead. The Taken down at the ceremony began to stir and look up at the ceiling. They couldn't see them yet but it was only a matter of time. John threw his hand forward and sent a huge bolt of lightning down, vaporizing 2 of the Wizards in a heartbeat. He slowly rose off the ground and leapt down, a current of raw energy surrounding his form. The Taken immediately began to fire but it was lost against the ionic shield he created. The Ogre roared a challenge and the Hydra restricting it released its hold. John raised a hand and threw it down, lightning coursing from the cloud, destroying all but the Ogre and Hydra. He held his ground and threw his hands together in front of him, electricity snapping. A single bolt of lightning so hot it burned white left his hands, the intense heat igniting the air around it. A flaming lightning bolt. It struck the Hydra and blasted a hole in its hull. The Ogre launched his eye blast at his shield which wavered for a second before breaking and sending him flying. He slammed against the wall and fell silent.

"No....Noo!" She raises up, take her helmet off and throws it to the ground. Her hair covered her eyes as she stares down at the dark ground. Her fist clench As she draws her hammer And looks up at the ogre with a rage So heavy It could Equal to the darknessitself. She lights up her hammer Her fire burning bright and high around her burning the ground she stepped on. Her armor started to crack more from the Heat of it As she Runs full sprint jumps onto a rock and kicks off of it Sending her into the air as she then Looks down and puts her hammer in front of her "Si ludere tibi igne comburatur" Once the Latin words she spoke were said The ogre Starts shooting it's eye blast as her Hitting her directly but with no care in the world and a rage in fire in her heart she hurls herself towards the Ogre flying Nearly as fast as light until the hammer impacts with the ogre And she Cuts through it like butter and burning it to the ground. She Stays there for a minute Breathing heavily with her hammer in the ground. Her fire starts to calm down As She drops Herself.
