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.
-
Switch sped past a small group of acolytes trying to pin down some hunters. Using a sword he materialised, he swiped out and sliced the acolytes in half as he raced past them. S: "So where's Lakir right now? I haven't seen him since leaving the city"
-
" Right now, I think he led a small group beyond this battle and are engaging the Hive commander. Lake is cleaning up here."
-
S: "then let's go clean him up before he 'cleans up' anyone else"
-
James nodded and they sped off all the way to the river, where they found Lake, surrounded by Guardians, some dead, some barely standing.

Edited by Moot: 12/23/2015 4:10:57 PMSwitch's sparrow transmatted away under him, mid-boost. He landed on his feet, sliding metres along the ground at high speed, before grinding to a halt with dust and dirt kicked up from the ground and spread all around him. He was standing 10 metres from Lake.
-
James was next to him. " Let me handle him. You go see if you can find Lakir."
-
S: "got it" Switch turned and ran off into the battle in search of Lakir, killing the occasional dreg or thrall as he went.
-
J," So. This is what you've become eh? Just another mindless drone in the grand scheme of the Darkness? You used to be so much better." L," You have no idea what I am. Or what I'm willing to do." J," I thought I could save Aries, but I was a fool. And now, you paid the price for it. Well, now I'm going to set things right, and if I have to kill you..... So be it." Lake formed a sword of pure Darkness, while James formed a sword of pure Light, and they clashed. Lakir had been busy fighting Xil. They were evenly matched.
-
Edited by Moot: 12/23/2015 5:42:43 PMSwitch sprinted towards Lakir and Xil as fast as he could, the moment he saw them. Using all his strength, he jumped up and slammed his feet into Xil's side with a mid-air double kick. The impact knocked Xil back and away from Lakir, as Switch floated to the ground beside him.
