[i]The Vex Guardian seemed to be hostile, as the Hunter would then begin to sprint after the Warlock, like a predator after wounded prey. She looked like a Bladedancer, as a twisted, jagged knife would formulate within her right hand, a close-range sidearm corrupted by Vex technology formulating in her left. John suddenly felt a hazing heat as a bolt of solar zoomed past his head.[/i]

"F*ck....Of course! Why not combine my two enemies?!" John shook his head, trying to calm himself. He only knew of one way to possibly win this...and he needed to be calm.
-
>"[i]DEFILER! Face your fate![/i]"< [i]Another bolt shot past John, steadily closer. Dodging to the side and into an alleyway would work, for a time..[/i]

-
>"[i]Not when we took Kabr into the Vault! Not when we took Praedyth! Venus! Mercury! And not when I end you, defiler of the Garden![/i]" [i]The feminine voice, yet contorted by a deep metallic ring, would yell as she would continue to stalk John. Utilizing the buildings had thrown her off, though.[/i]
-
His voice now seemed to come from several directions, sounding as if he were whispering right beside her. "Defiler? I did far more than just defile..."
-
">[i]Silence, worm-![/i] -You will pay for what you've done!"< [i]The feminine voice would then take over, as a Ghost would fly overhead, it's scrying red eye rippling throughout the area. The thing was searching for John, like a terrible Gorgon of the Vault's depths..[/i]
-
Suddenly a sticky flux grenade was thrown at her from seemingly no where. "Worm? I mean, I am using something I learned from the Hive to do the voice thing..."
-
>[b]Nine degrees.[/b] [i]*POMP!* - The solar shot blasted through the grenade, incinerating it suddenly. The Vex Ghost peered it's eye to the area, scanning it suddenly.[/i]
-
"Alright, f*ck this..." The warlock blinked in front of the corrupted Guardian, shooting out his palm and sending a huge load of arc energy toward his target. There was far more power behind the strike than that of a normal warlock melee.
-
>[b]Blink[/b]! [i]She would only save herself in a literally second, and yet the Vex still took damage. The Guardian was sent slamming back into the wall, arc shocking throughout her armored being. The Vex Guardian would cry out a little - a surprisingly humane yell - as she stared upon John, her face hidden by the glassy dome of her helmet.[/i] >"Alright.. Stormcaller." [i]She recited to herself quietly. It was.. odd.[/i]
-
"I'm far more than a Stormcaller, honey." Arc energy crackled and shot out from his being as an aura of it seemed to cover his whole body. He threw a hand outward towards the Vex Guardian, lightning flew from his hand and on to the enemy.
-
[i]Celkym's pistol would suddenly fade away as she grabbed her knife, swinging upwards: the Void blade separated the lightning, as if it was beyond Light entirely. It was as if the lightning slowed, yet she sped up..[/i] >"And I am far more than a Vex, darling."< [i]Celkym said, twirling her knife as time returned to the norm.[/i]
-
"Hmm....We both have tricks." The arc kept crackling around him as he walked towards her. "Too bad you feel the need to kill me. I'd enjoy a talk with you."
-
>"You destroyed the G.. my Garden. You killed your own Traveler.."[i]Celkym sighed, though she didn't suddenly lunge out. At least, not yet.[/i]
-
"I'm sorry I destroyed your garden, but I had to in order to save my people...same with killing the Traveler. I fight the Darkness, no matter how much people may hate me for it. Think about it. What's the true enemy of the Vex? The Light? No, it just wants to live in peace and fights in self-defense. The Darkness wants destruction. The Darkness can never have peace. I don't want to hurt you or your people...believe me." The arc energy died down as got into a less aggressive stance.
-
"The Vex corrupt - no, [i]perfect[/i] - whatever they - [i]we[/i] - touch and find.. that is what we do.. perfect." [i]Celkym would murmur quietly, returning her hidden gaze to John. She was almost human. Almost, as she lowered her dagger a little.[/i] [i]But she seemed prepared, yet. John had hit her weakness - her humanity, something that naturally fought against the Vex's control. She was still focused, if it was a trap..[/i]
-
"You don't have to perfect everything violently though....People want to improve, but when you wave a gun in their face they might become hesitant. Think of all the lives you've ruined. The families torn apart because you've killed parents and children. None of that has to happen. It may take time for people to want to be changed, but you guys don't have to worry about time, do you?"
-
"I didn't.. I didn't-" [i]The female voice, as if it was about to break, would suddenly grow deep and hateful with a humming roar, as she brought up her knife and slashed at the Warlock's throat, the Void edge glistening with a destructive glare.[/i]
-
The warlock barely leaned back in time to not have his throat cut wide open as he took a quick step back and used it to push off the ground and blink on top of the building ahead. "I tried being friendly!"
-
"[i]Friendly? Your conviction and false words are friendly?[/i]" [i]That sinister metallic tone would take over once more, as the Hunter would literally begin to scale the wall. Her physical agility and dexterity would kick in, as she would climb the very walls of the alleyway in order to reach the Warlock.[/i] [i]John was right. These Vex were incredibly dedicated.[/i]
-
"I'm telling the truth! We can be friends! No one has to get hurt!" John shrugged, realizing he could just blink building to building like an *sshole to get away...which he now did. The warlock teleported rooftop to rooftop as fast as he could.

Edited by Weeaboo Of War: 12/5/2017 12:00:01 PM>"That could- [i]That isn't how this works[/i]!"< [i]The humming returned, yet suddenly cut off amongst a mangled, feminine "No!" as John would catch sight of the Vex Guardian suddenly appeared in front of him, shifting throughout the Nexus and breaking throughout reality. It seemed to be taking a toll on her, yet she raised her right hand in a sign of attempting peace, the left tightly wrapped around a Vex Ghost that was trying to break free.[/i] >"[b]Celkym-[/b]"< [i]The thing muttered, trying to escape.[/i]
-
"I have no guns, knives, anything. I just want peace." He took her hand, hoping she wasn't about to kill him. "Friend."
-
>"Yeah, I.. I get that. Friend."< [i]The Vex Guardian would nod, still clutching the Ghost tightly within her hand, as if the thing was attempting to break free. This was likely the source of her.. corruption, one could say. Yet also.. her salvation.[/i] >"...Celkym."<
-
"Please understand..." John took notice, he attempted a quick grab at the ghost to take it out of her hand.
