Trinary Star Rising: Final Tests 6:00 A.M. “All Guardians please report to the Testing grounds for the final test.” “I can’t believe they’re making us get up this early for the final test.” I complained. “Matthew want to bet 10 glimmer that the head instructor wants to make our lives hell for our last few moments with him.” My friend, and warlock Ashley joked from the bunk below me. “Either that or this challenge is going to take a few hours.” Sarah, our 3rd fireteam member and titan replied. “Hey how about I send a message to them saying we should get few more hours of sleep?” My ghost Jace said while appearing. “Try that and I’ll load you onto a skeet launcher.” I threatened. “Or I don’t send a message.” Jace said with a sigh and disappeared. “Good.” I said as we ran to the final wargame where the instructor was waiting with some of the other recruits. “Fireteam Winter glad to see you’re on time.” The Instructor said as he checked our name off “alright that’s 14 out of 50 fireteams.” He said, then whispered something to his ghost. “TO THE 108 IDIOTS WHO ARE STILL IN THEIR BUNKS GET YOUR SORRY ASSES TO THE TRAINING AREA!” The head instructor screamed through the loud speaker, causing a few of us to jump. Suddenly, I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. Turning around I saw our friends Tyrion, a Gunslinger; DS-29, a Striker; and Rexxal-47, a Sunsinger. “Let me guess, you guys are 3 of the 108 idiots?” I asked, turning around. “Hey, we weren’t in our bunks when the tactical alarm went off.” Tyrion replied. “Doubt they care.” Sarah replied while she inspected her shotgun. “Alright recruits shut up and listen! We have a few representatives from The Vanguard, The Crucible and the factions. The factions each were allowed to send one rep each while the vanguard and Shaxx are allowed to send a fireteam. First, we have Jess Haylen, a Gunslinger from Future War Cult.” A female hunter in blue, red and white armor walked out of the building behind the instructor. She held a Future War Cult Hand cannon in one hand and was flipping a throwing knife with the other. “Future War Cult has sent me to see who is ready for war. War is what holds off the Darkness, not peace, such as what New Monarchy desires. Not establishing a new home, such as what Dead Orbit wishes. But war, to take the fight to the darkness as we did with Atheon, with Crota, that is how we stop them. War is the only option Guardians. Join us.” As she finished the visor on her helmet lit up with the Future War Cult initials. “Next up is Daniel Havens a Striker from New Monarchy.” A male titan in red and white armor with brown fur around the neck and a New Monarchy shotgun walked out of the building and looked around before speaking. “New Monarchy sent me to talk to you about our home, The City. The City is where we should stay, defend against the Darkness, rebuild and forge a new Golden Age. We have all of what we need on Earth. We just need to find the relics of the Golden Age. “Finally for the factions we have Hal-34 a Voidwalker from Dead Orbit.” A warlock in black and white armor walked out with a Dead orbit Auto Rifle slung over his back. “Dead Orbit is looking for those who can explore what’s out there. The Darkness doesn’t care about us, they want the Traveler. We’re going to find a new home where we don’t have to worry about the Hive’s rituals, the Fallen’s hatred to us, the Vex’s pattern or the Cabal’s plans. Help us find a find a new home and we will survive.” “Nice colors, can’t say I agree with their goals.” Rexxal-47 murmured. “Wonder what The Vanguard think of it?” His ghost Zephyr replied. “Must at least accept it.” “Next up is Fireteam Steelforge sent by the Crucible.” Three guardians walked out of the building in silver colored armor and sporting blue and neon green weapons. The Titan stood on the left, the Hunter on the right and the Warlock in the middle. “Hello Guardians! My name is Vanessa The leader of Fireteam Steelforge.” The warlock shouted. “My name is Hal-12.” The titan said in a very robotic voice. “My name is Triss.” The hunter said while spinning a knife with arc energy running through it. “The Crucible is many things, a place to practice your skills with your weapons and abilities, a place to practice with your own fireteam, a place to make new friends and unfortunately sometimes enemies. I met Hal and Triss in a skirmish match and now we’re an amazing fireteam! Shaxx may be hard on you but in the end he wants the same thing as us, to keep The City.” As Vanessa finished, many of us started cheering and kept on cheering even when the instructor walked back up. “Alright recruits SHUT UP! Next up is fireteam Recon sent by the Vanguard. If there’s one group that you should show respect for give it to them.” As he finished talking a high pitched noise sounded from the building causing everyone to look at the building as a Warlock in black and bright orange and a Titan in black with grey stripes walked out.
