Edited by cloudless9: 12/8/2015 7:10:10 AMJohn twirled around the door, sword flashing. In a single motion, he got behind the Ogre who dropped her when this new threat presented itself. 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.

"Ow... That like... Really hurt. A lot" He attempted to roll over and half collapsed through the process. He tried again and got his stomach. He then proceeded to cough up a large amount of blood. "I'm getting too old for this. First I nearly burnt out my light then this" He looked down and saw his Iron Banner crest was gone. Even his thermals were burnt away exposing his chest. "If 1 more second of blast hit me I'd have to trust this one to bring me back. Like that'd ever happen" "[i]Excuse yourself[/i]" "Thank you" He slowly got up groaning and looked at the pile of ashes that was once the Ogre. "You know... We were meant to restrain it. Not kill it."
-
Singe appears out And flies over and gets in his face "She thought you had Died warlock. I'm sorry about your ogre but it's not gone forever I see into the taken world All that's gonna happen is it will reappear in an hour So hold up. Now She's beating herself up Because she knows you wanted it restrained But The thought of someone she cares about dying or being lost Made her react as such." The ghost squints his eye at him "I will tell you where is will come out of Which isn't to far, you make sure she doesn't end up using that hammer on herself" The Ghost vanishes
-
John was silent. He never knew that she had cared for him, however minor. "What are you doing. They always die. You have to remember that. Don't become attached" John rose and looked down at his chest. Slightly blackened skin was there from the Ogre. He escaped death by a hair. "Can you patch me up or how much time do I have to wait?" "[i]I can do something but not recreate the armor. Sorry[/i]" "Whatever stops the bullets" John strode over to Reva and put an arm around her shoulders. "Are you okay? I heard you go a little crazy back there"
-
Reya didn't look up at him but he could hear her slightly sob "I...I thought..."
-
John stopped his slight smirk and tightened his grip. "Hey now, there's no reason to be crying. I'm a little tougher than that" He just stood there for a second and pulled her close. There was no reason to go quite yet.
-
She pushes her face against his arm Sobbing "I'm sorry...you have to see me like this...I already lost someone I cared about..."
-
John just held her closely. It was nice, having this feeling again. But that part of him still screamed she was going to die. "We all have. But we have to keep moving forward. To honor them. To never give in to the guilt or depression. Otherwise their deaths would mean nothing" John's face was hard as stone. He felt the memories flood back. The Taken. Phobos. One after another his team died. Until it was just the two of them. Then she left him as well. He was alone. They all died and the Darkness spared him. Why? Cio, Adam, Recheten-6, Mable-12... So many more. Dead. So much blood. He couldn't stop crying. But when she died there were no tears. Just shouts until his voice was hoarse. He was spattered with blood. Over and over and over again. Until he stopped feeling all together. There was no way he would let it happen again. He would die a thousand times over before he let someone else sacrifice themselves for him.

Reya Wipes her face And Walks over to her helmet and sets it back on When he ghost Singe Appears in front of John "Intresting mind you have there, Sorry Because I'm taken I see between realms so I saw yours. Anyways The ogre will appear about....10o feet to the north of here through a gate And So if we want to get a trap set it would be time to move now"
-
John managed to compose himself and he turned towards Singe. "Thank you, I'll begin work on a binding spell. Hopefully it'll be strong enough to last me however long I need." John drew his sword and spoke "You lead the way Singe, I'll have the ruins drawn in no time"
-
Singe starts flying in the direction quietly humming a song to himself Reya with her head down follows behind her ghost
-
John elects to walk beside her and taps her backside. "You shouldn't be so down. Don't let the past haunt you" He quickened his pace and pulled ahead of her a little. Then he looked behind him and grinned.
