Perseus comes out of invisibility, right in front of where the bike stopped, laying down. "Holy -blam!- that hurt." He gets up, and reaches to the beacons, grabbing one, and tossing it into the air, almost dropping it, his action looking wreckless. "so what exactly do these do?"

"They allow me to channel the energy of anything that crosses into the threshold of these beacons from the outside. A personal touch against Grixis." [b]She stands to her full height.[/b] "I'm not that far away from the next spot, let's get walking since the bikes trashed." [b]She turns and starts walking towards the next location. [/b]

He grabs the rest and follows her.
-
"So what do you want to know?"
-
"Who exactly is this Grixis guy? You're going through a whole lotta trouble to get rid of him."
-
"He's a Hive Darkness Guardian who is fused himself with a Wizard named Sarkon. Together, they believe themselves to be the Hive God Xol. But due to my interference, they have lost a good chunk of power they would have used by attacking us. In return, we gain power."

But hey, if it helped stopping Grixis and didn't bring The City to it's knees, he had absolutely no problem with it. His jumpship hovered behind them. He was going to send it off, but now with another Guardian here, he decided for it to stick with them. He turned his head to the second Hunter. "Someone that's going to be the end of everything if we don't stop him." Then he focused back on Alice. "The second thing is, I need to speak with Emaria. Since you're bonded with Shovoroth, I would like to ask Emaria some questions, and hopefully you be there so Shovoroth doesn't kill me at first glance."
-
[b]Leech tilts her head, then walks forward.[/b] [i]Shovoroth, are you able to talk to Emaria about things this Guardian wants to know?[/i] [b]She thinks, knowing full well that Shovoroth can hear her from his location, wherever that may be.[/b]
-
A deep rumbling sound echoed through the mental link, sounding like something between a growl and a sigh. [i]It depends on what he wishes to know.[/i]
-
'Wait, I got a friend who's pretty much in tune with the Hive and Taken. If this Guy fused with a wizard, or has any connection to Xol, he can peak in on them."
-
Anaxis shook his head. "Won't work. I've tried everything in the book, it's how I knew what he has done before. But now I can't see anything. Whatever they're doing, it's under lock and key, far beyond our solar system." He stared out in front of him. "That's what worries me."
-
"Anaxis, what do you want to ask her?" [b]She asks over her shoulder at Anaxis.[/b]
-
He looked at her. "Anything pertaining to Grixis. At this point, any kind of information on him is helpful. I don't care if it's only a damn rumor, just something."
-
[i]Anything about Grixis that either of you know.[/i] [b]She looks at the other Hunter.[/b] "You mind passing me the last beacon?"
-
Edited by The Arxfiend: 12/11/2015 4:29:52 AM"So, you've never had a Hive or Taken in with him? One that you're allies with?" He hands Leech the beacon.
-
Edited by Zalamiir: 12/11/2015 4:46:49 AM[b]With Alice[/b] [i]Yes, Emaria has something. He must come here to hear it however.[/i] --------------------------------- [b]With Hunter[/b] "I've tried using Taken, they're incapable of getting anywhere close to them, or their fleet. As for other Hive, not allies, just merrily see what their lesser Hive see. But now everything is cut off. I've had Eris Morn try also, but even she can't cut through whatever blocks me. Which can only mean that they are either in their Ascendant Realm, or somewhere else with equal power."
-
"But one more similar to Akka's energy, perhaps? Him and his clones can automatically get through ascendant portals. No reason to think they can't override whatever passage this guy is using. Don't worms override all hive functions by default? I may be wrong, but my field is Vex and golden age.
-
[i]I don't know, I have a feeling he's in league with Grixis. I'm not sure though.[/i] [b]Out loud.[/b] "If you think about it, I managed to pass through a portal behind them when they tried to gain Oryx's death energy. So who knows, I might be able to track them through."
-
"I'll get him on real quick." With that, he shuts up, continuing to follow.
-
"Anyway, we don't need to send anyone through. We don't know the dangers that are on the other side. All we need to do is prepare for every possible situation." [b]Leech lifts the beacon up high and slams it down into the ground. She turns to face them.[/b] "Now, what we can do since you two are here, is help me arrange some cannons in there." [b]She then points at the Twlight Gap behind the two.[/b]
-
"Where are we pointing those?"
-
"Towards the tower, but don't worry, it's only to take down the Cuisers Grixis uses. He's not going to be as stupid and immediately use energy guns to take down the tower, he knows my power by now, so he won't." [b]Leech takes a step to walk past then in order to move to the Twlight Gap.[/b]
-
He follows, still in contact.

Anaxis followed Alice as she walked off in the direction of Twilight Gap. It was strange. Years ago, one of the largest battles the City had ever faced had been fought on those very grounds. It felt invigorating in a way, that they would no doubt be battling at such a legendary site, but at the same time, many Guardians fell during that battle. And history was about to repeat itself. A few things came up in his head however. The cannons that were still functioning there only had the firepower to take out small targets. Firing one at something as large and armored as a Hive Cruiser... And frighteningly a Dreadnaught, would be like throwing a pebble at a Cabal Siege Tank. "The cannons currently up there won't do a thing against a Cruiser. But I know someone, or someone's who could give them an extra kick to them. Maybe even help us in the battle." He thought about an missed shots from the cannons missing their mark and instead striking the City. But he dismissed those thoughts, as it would be pretty difficult to miss something as large as what they would be shooting at.
-
"I also have an idea on how to give it a but more kick, but what's your idea first?" [b]Leech starts climbing up the rock wall to the Twlight Gap.[/b]
-
He watched Alice as she began to climb the rock wall, and decided he was going to take the easier way out. He immediately Transmatted into his jumpship, then slowly began to ascend the mountain. He really didn't want what he had to say to become public knowledge, not until the time was right. But he wasn't left with many other options. If it meant the defense of the City, then so be it. He switched out over to the comm channel, linking them with Alice and the other Hunter. "Let me first ask a question; how much do you know about Grixis' past?"
