I am Heretic at least that's what I am called any more. I am known fully as the Heretic Overlord. I will tell you a story of how I and my team came to be. It all started on earth for me in the old America's waking to the sting of what felt like Electrical shock my vision blurry looking up I realized two things it was raining and something was floating in front of me watching me when it noticed me looking at it spoke softly as if not wanting to be heard. And it said hello don't panic and don't move I'm your friend we are not safe I know you don't know what's going on but you need to trust me now. Still in shock I guess I managed to shake my head nodding that I understood. He then spoke again saying when I give the signal go in that small building behind me Guardian. At first I thought why'd he call me Guardian. And then realizing what he said I turned my head to look around I had no Idea where I was quietly o whispered where are we he said we are in an old battle ground what's left of a city. I then sneak into the building and sit down everything feels different. He says we have a moment if you have questions the first thing that comes to mind is why was I sleeping in the street? He replies with you weren't sleeping you were dead. He says I breathed light into you so you might live to fight again. Fight again I question he says yes you died in that old battle over 200 years ago. I asked how he could tell he said your still wearing the armor. Looking at myself I realize that I am and that I have a weapon or what looks like what was a weapon rusted fast to its holster. He says do you think you can still fight I said I feel like I can I just can't remember. He signals me to look in a cabinet in the corner upon opening it I find a Old double barrel shotgun. It's simple to use he says. I said I know I remember this it just feels right I walk out the door with the ghost scuttling behind me still speaking quietly about something I wasn't paying attention. I was thinking and taking in my surroundings so much rubble and and broken down buildings the sky dark with red hews in it the sound of distant thunder and what sounded like gun fire or crackling. Feeling the rain fall on me once again I turned to ask why he was talking g so quietly to notice something with four glowing eyes looking at me from the second floor window he followed my gaze and said shoot it or it'll do the same to you. I raised the shotgun and fired right as a blue beam of light flashed by my head I could feel the heat come off of it as it passed. The creature shrieked what looked like light blue gas came out of the holes in its neck and upper chest as it fell. The ghost said we need to get moving. I'm going to skip the next part because we walked for days through woods and on old paths even along rivers. Until we came to a small bridge as I started to cross a man walked out of the shadows in what looked like a trench coat and a helmet with a sleek full face visor he spoke in a deep voice saying who goes there stranger I replied with I don't know. My ghost spoke up and said he is a guardian of the light. The man replied I'm Called Manhatton. Do you need any help my ghost said yes do you have a ship Manhatton replied with yes, however why do you need it? My ghost replied we need to go to the tower in Russia beneath the traveler. Manhatton said okay my ships just over that ridge. As we walked back I noticed he had a ghost too. As we boarded he asked have you eaten anything yet I said no just water and berries if I could find them. He walked to a chest by the door way walked through to get on his ship he handed my a bottle and a small package. He said eat up we got quite a while until we get to the tower. As he sat down on a bench the door closed behind us I said aren't you going to fly the ship. He said nah my ghost has got that for now. What kind of weapon you got there was his next question I handed it to him the old double barrel he examined it and the tossed it on the floor and said that just won't do. Stay he said and walked away when he came back he handed me two guns a big revolver like nothing I've ever seen and a shotgun that looks bigger than a 10 gauge I hesitated for a moment and took them. Be careful they kick like a mule he said. And we sat and spoke on our way to the tower when we arrived it felt as if we had a genuine bond we were friends he and our ghost went to the speaker. Apparently he is important as I'd later find out his first question was how my approach to combat was I responded clearly with thought out and certainty as hard and fast as I can with force. He responded good you'll be a titan and pressed his hand on my chest I felt intense heat flowing into as if my blood was running hotter and hotter. I felt stronger. Me and Manhattan left then he said I got spare ship you can use until you can afford your own. He took me to the guardian quarters in the lower tower were we talked some more. They call him Manhatton because that's where he was resurrected by his ghost. At least that's what he told me. While we were talking though another guardian burst in cursing and saying damn that Cayde 6 he's getting better at shooting every time we go out. Manhatton said to me this is Cuban he's a hunter with the vanguard and one of my best friends here in the tower. I said it's nice to meet you Cuban he replied with a nod and continued talking throwing his cloak on the bed next to me. Manhatton said don't mind him Cayde 6 just cut his ego down a little. We all sat and talked then Manhatton and Cuban about their adventures on earth. We all became friends and now we are a team. I got my from an order of warlock yelling praise the so in guardians quarters because I told them the sun isn't down here in there tower and their reply was Heretic none believer the light shall reach all! So I walked back my quarters and told Manhatton and Cuban about it they've been calling me Heretic ever since. We decided to really become a team when I got my first mission which was to patrol the cosmodrome of old Russia and stake out a shipyard for any of the fallen Hierarchy Manhatton you shouldn't go alone me and Cuban will come with you. And off we went. Once we got there we gathered minimal Intel it was basically deserted until nightfall then we posted up on a rooftop. And watched the entrance to the shipyard that when I saw it another 4 eyed creature only this time dwarfing the one from before Cuban said quitely that's a Baron of the house of the devils they are hard to take down and are never alone. A skiff came down from above dropping more creatures around him the fallen Manhatton calls them. I asked if they were ready and before they replied I jumped off the roof and hit the ground running. I felt energy rise up inside me I jumped and rammed my shoulder Into the first fallen I came across caving in his breast plate and sending him reeling to the ground. I heard a big boom behind me as Cuban Fired a sniper rifle above me into the Barons left shoulder ripping off his lower left arm. I took out the shotgun Manhatton had given me the day before and started pumping away the fallen 7 shots later I threw the shotgun on my back and reached for the revolver I drew my sights on the two fallen left before me in front of the Baron the had swords I thought to myself you brought a knife to a gun fight that was until they disappeared from sight the Baron seemed to be laughing even with the lightish blue gas leaking from what is left of his arm I heard Manhatton yell Fireball get down. I ducked and peeked up to see the two invisible fallen turn to dust the Baron tried to make a run for it but we all drew our weapons on him and gunned him down. As I approached to make sure he was dead I noticed his hand clutched his sword at his side it was very decorated looked gold with blue light emblazed into the handle itself and the I looked at his face as he looked at me with his fading eyes I shot my last revolver round right into his center right eye Manhattan yelled you better get back here before more come. And that's how we really became a team although sometimes we don't work together we'll we save each quite a bit. I got the Nickname overlord from Lord Shaxx because in rumble I'm always on top of the scoreboard or the least to die and last to quit. My team are proud and we are happy to be gifted with being friends.
