It was just a little after dawn, the Guardian had been out of city for two weeks...investigating strange Hive activity on the surface near the launching pad in old russia. He was tired, restless, angry. He'd been out for two weeks and found nothing, no destruction, no hive, no fallen... He looked around, not one fallen "hmm, that's strange" Using his instinct, he assumed it was a trap, so carefully he made his way to the launch pad. Deciding not to use his sparrow, "better to stay quiet" He thought. As he made his way towards the launch pad, he saw activity, a battle. Hive and Fallen were in all out war with each other, and it looked liked this would be one of the bloodier one's. "Oh well, I don't mind crashing a few parties" he said to himself. Summoning his sparrow, he sped towards the battle, weaving in and out of plane wreckage, dogding stray plasma beams and implosive grenades. As he came closer, he jumped up and brought his feet up to his seat, hands still on the accelerator, he leaped forward, the sparrow flying straight into fallen and hive. The Guardian brought his fist down to the ground and a bright blue ball of energy expaneded everywhich way, destroying any life in it's wake. It seems he was right however...it was a trap. To lure a Guardian out and destroy him. They knew he'd come, they were waiting. For all at once, plasma beams and grenades came raining down at him, blocking out the sun. He looked up, took a breath, summoned his sparrow and sped away. The drop ships were already there, chasing him, dropping more and more fallen. Plasma cannon rounds blowing dirt and debris all around him. One lucky shot his is turbine, and put his sparrow out of commission. He was thrown off, into a rock. His vision dark and hazy, he saw it. The Captain, barrel aimed straight at the guardians forehead. He wasn't going to cheat death this time. He had hoped he did what he could for the light, for earth, for the galaxy. He had hoped it was enough....then everything went dark. The Guardian lay motionless, his ghost lay beside him, The darkness had won once more, but the war was not over...it had only just begun.
