"Faster, John!" "I can't just magically run faster, Fey!" Bolts of solar energy skimmed the helmet of a Warlock as Vex shot at him from behind. He was running as fast as he could through the Black Garden, trying to find an exit as the whole place started to collapse. Rock and debris fell down to block his way, causing him to slide into it as he tried to stop himself. "F*CK!" The Vex had him cornered with no ability to fight back. His ammo was depleted, his light drained, and armour already scorched from prior skirmishes. The young Warlock stood up with raised fists as he panted, his hot breath smudging up the visor of his helmet. "Hey, at least we completed the mission..." The Warlock stated, sounding a bit disappointed he wasn't going to live through this. The female sounding Ghost replied, "I may have the ability to transport us into the ship from here, John, just...hang on. We've come this far, we can make it." The Ghost tried to reassure her Warlock as the Vex closed in on his location, firing at will. The man sprinted forward with the little enrgy he had left, his legs burned and ached from having to work so hard for so long. He breathed heavily and coughed, barely able to move from exhaustion. His shoulder bashed into the middle of a vex, hitting it in its weak spot just hard enough to kill it. He stumbled and rolled only to kick another vex in its weak spot at the end of the roll. The Warlock's mind turned into overdrive as he attempted to survive, trying to keep track of all the vex attacking him so he could dodge their shots and blasts from their hands. It didn't take long for his attempts at dodging to fail as he felt a blast of solar energy melt away a part of one of his shins. He screamed in agony, falling to his knees with fear and pain racing through his head. [i]I'm going to die here....My Ghost couldn't possibly resurrect me with so many vex around.[/i] Another blast hit his shoulder, causing another scream while his arm went limp. [i]At least the Darkness is defeated...[/i] Rubble from way up above on the ceiling began to fall towards his position, exposing the bright blue sky of Earth as light crept in through the crack. [i]...We did it. We killed the Traveler.[/i] As the Warlock was about to get crushed however, he vanished. =============== It was another day at Dojoville as the Warlock appeared up in the sky just outside of the town. He glided a bit, but the fall was still extremely rough and cracked his helmet. The townsfolk looked over for a second before shrugging, used to this sh*t by now. "John, stay with me. I can heal this." Fey, the Ghost, hovered over John's limp body as she began to heal him. "Wait, who're you?" The Ghost noticed you standing nearby, having almost been hit by the fallen Warlock. "Sorry for almost crushing you, but my Warlock was in danger..." [spoiler]Open.[/spoiler]
