((Corrected. Sawry my bad, was thinking of Erik too much :/))
"Lake, please just stop and think for a moment! You know very well that Aries is the enemy here!"
Zaaria rolled along the floor away from Staff before getting to here feet and lunging towards him.

Edited by IXMMISmokey: 12/23/2015 12:30:27 AML," Aries is a means to an end. Through him, I get to kill Erik. And that's fine in my book." In a sudden burst of speed, Lake grabbed Switch and threw him up into the air. He raced upwards and sliced Switch across the chest. Staff pulled out a knife as they went down and attempted to stab her.
-
Switch burst away from Lake after landing on his two feet. The wound on his chest began to heal within moments. "So what you're saying is, you never were truly allied to Aries in the first place?" Zaaria grabbed hold of the arm holding the dagger, using her strength to stop Staff from stabbing her, and swiftly broke it by kicking down hard with her leg.
-
Edited by IXMMISmokey: 12/23/2015 1:01:22 AML," He is just my way to get to Erik. If I have to kill a few Guardians here or there, then it's fine by me." Staff howled in pain and backed away.
-
"Why is that fine by you? None of these guardians here today did anything wrong to you. None of them deserve this, because none of them were ever involved with you in any way" As Staff backed away, Zaaria got up and used the delay to sprint for Scorch's body.
-
Lake didn't respond. Instead, he sent tendrils of Darkness towards Switch, like snakes they lunged at him, trying to wrap him up. Staff yelled orders at his soldiers. Vandals lined up and started firing at Zaaria. Two captains with shockblades guarded Scorch's body, ready to intercept her.
-
Edited by Moot: 12/23/2015 1:27:31 AMThe dark tendrils trying to wrap around Switch withered and died the moment they touched him, similar to the tendrils that had ensnared the wolves earlier. "If you want Erik that badly, then why not just go out there and find him? I'm sure he'll want to come to you to explain what happened, so I doubt it would be beyond your ability" Zaaria kept sprinting forward, allowing shots to bounce off her armour. The moment she was within the largest gathering of fallen trying to stop her, she released a fist of havok into the ground, disintegrating the surrounding Eliksni in a whirlwind of arc light. The fist of havok let out a frontal shockwave towards the guarding captains, killing one of them and sending the other flying back. Zaaria got up and immediately regained her momentum, sprinting past the captain and arriving at Scorch's body.

Lake," He's good at hiding. This'll draw him out. As for you, Aries was wrong to try to corrupt you. Thankfully, he created a plan B." Lake grabbed onto Switch. Underneath his helmet, a bulge started to grow, until it took the form of a worm. The worm latched itself onto Switch, burrowing into his chest. It was painless, but all of a sudden, Switch couldn't feel the Darkness or the Light going through him. He was hollow. Lake kicked him into the ground. Staff grabbed for his wire rifle and shot Zaaria in the back, going for a non lethal kill, as he wanted to pay her back for breaking one of his arms.
-
"What did... What did you just do? I feel... Different" Zaaria was knocked to the ground by the shot. A few moments later she stood up, holding the dead baron's Scorch cannon on her shoulder, ready to fire. "My turn, asshole" She fired the cannon with accuracy and launched a projectile into Staff. It hit him and latched onto his shoulder as it began charging up.
-
Lake," Think of it as a suppressor. It'll make sure you can't use your Darkness against us." Lake picked up Switch by the throat, and punched him down. Dark tendrils suspended Switch up into the air. Staff looked at the projectile, then at Zaaria. All he could do was snarl as his shoulder exploded and he died.
-
A sniper shot from an unknown location suddenly struck Lake in the back of his head. The shot would have been lethal to most, but not to a dark guardian. Nonetheless, the force of the shot was strong enough to split Lake's head open, causing him to temporarily lose his influence on the tendrils and allow Switch to escape. Switch muttered something quietly as he stepped away from Lake. S: "Thank you Jaden..."
-
Lake healed and then he looked back and assumed where the trajectory of the bullet came from. Once he had a good enough guess he aimed his open palm at the mountainside. Within a few seconds, a large chunk of the mountain collapsed on itself.
-
Edited by Moot: 12/23/2015 2:44:35 AMAs the mountain began to crumble, Switch dived onto Lake, sending both of them to the ground. He immediately began punching Lake in the face, practically causing damage as fast as it was healing.
-
Lake was easily able to get him off. He kicked him in the stomach, before throwing a right hook, throwing him to the ground. He grabbed for his sword. Lake was about to finish him off, but he stopped. Instead, he opened up a portal, grabbed Switch, and chucked him through it. He ended up at the Guardian camp. Lake soon reached Zaaria and did the same thing.
-
Arriving unexpectedly back at the camp, Switch and Zaaria quickly grouped together after coming through the portal. Z: "So now what?!" S: "Now, I'd say it's James' turn to play this game..."
-
One quick look around the camp, one could tell the Guardians were not doing so well. Hundreds of wounded were pouring in, the medical frames were being pressed to save everyone they could. James was inside a tent, looming over a holographic board. The board displayed tactical data of the battlefield, like unit positions and supply levels. Next to him, was another frame. He was speaking to it. J," Casualties?" F," 18% KIA, 5% MIA, and 36% wounded." J," We're not gonna win like this..... What about the enemy. What are they looking like?" F," Reports indicate 23% KIA, 2% MIA, and no wounded." J," Shit..... What's the status of Lakir's company?" F," Company B is currently engaged in hand to hand combat with a special Hive unit. Supposedly under the command of a Knight named Xil. The company's casualties are high." J," What about company's A, C, and D?" F," Company A is having trouble with a joint force of Hive and Fallen troops. Company C is pinned down at the river by Fallen sharpshooters. They can't advance. Company D is still under heavy fire by artillery." J," Do we have any Intel on enemy movements?" F," Company C reports seeing Ogres being moved into position against company A. Also Dark Guardian Lake was been spotted at company B's battle site." J,"...." F," Do you require more information sir?" J," I'm heading into the battlefield. Inform Lakir." F," But sit, you are needed here to direct the army." J," Find somebody else to do it!" James walked out of the tent.
-
Shortly after exiting the tent, James was met by Switch and Zaaria. S: "Glad to finally see you, James. I thought you would already be at the front lines by now" Z: "Never mind that, how's our general situation going right now?"
-
" We're getting more and more -blam!-ed as time passes. We've got more wounded then we do supplies to heal them. All our troops are bogged down and dying. And their artillery is making it hell for us. If this continues on like this, we'll be slaughtered to the last man...."
-
S: "Right... It may seem rather blindingly obvious, but I don't think we can win this until we sway both Aries and Lake" Z: "Or, we could just sway Lake and get him to help us defeat Aries... Perhaps?" S: "Perhaps, but I don't think it'll be that simple. If it was, Lake would already be on our side" Z: "Right... How's the inner darkness holding up?" S; "Getting better. I can feel it returning to me now. Being in this vicinity is certainly helping"
-
J," I'm heading off to finish off Lake. He's causing trouble at the front lines."
-
Z: "Then we're coming too. That ass just kicked us straight off the battlefield" S: "Actually, Zaaria, perhaps it would be best if you stayed here and helped coordinated attacks. As tough as you are, Lake and Aries are too dangerous for a guardian to directly face off. I don't want any more people getting killed or corrupted by them, most certainly not you. You do have plently of battlefield experience, after all, so staying here is where you'll help most..." Z: "Ugh... Fine, I'll stay" S: "Thank you. James?"
-
He was already on a sparrow. " The both of you have done more than enough. Switch, you saved Lake's life, and I'll be forever in your debt. But it's my fault he's the way he is right now. I was too lenient on Aries, and now I've lost them both. I'll take care of them. You two can stay here and recuperate."
-
Switch had already prepped his own sparrow by the time Jake's had finished talking. S: "I may have saved his [i]life[/i], but I didn't save [i]him[/i]. Now I'm not going to just sit here and wait while a battle rages on and while both him and Aries are still out there" Getting on the sparrow, he revved the engines and prepared to move off. S: "Besides, I've still got a score to settle with Aries..." Z: "Switch... Remember to find Jaden. I can't contact him over comms right now" S: "I'll try"
-
James didn't say anything as he sped off towards the battlefield.
-
Switch followed James in suit, while Zaaria stayed at the camp and returned to James' tent. S: "So, who first? Aries or Lake?"
-
" Aries is too far behind the front for us to even touch him. We'd have to drag him out. Lake is here, so he can be dealt with first." They were arriving at the battle site. It was pure hell. Guardians and Hive alike lay on the ground, broken and dead. There was still fighting, with Titans locking in sword combat with Knights, while Hunters got in fierce gunfights with Acolytes. Warlocks were busy trying to keep the wounded alive until they got shipped off to the camp. Lakir was here somewhere, and so was Lake.
