[quote]Fun fact of the day: Did you know that approximately 92% of Alaska's trees get burned down by forest fires [i]every year[/i]? [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/176176926/0/0]#TheMoreYouKnow[/url][/quote] [i]The guardians teleported in from the ball of darkness one last time. Upon landing on the ground, Storm looked up at a Knight standing directly in front of her. In the blink of an eye, the Knight lunged at the Warlock's face with his sword.[/i] [b]Storm[/b]- OH SHIT! [i]Storm stumbled backwards, catching her foot on the ground and tripping over. After falling on her back, a small device fell from the Warlock's pocket and crashed onto the ground, exploding in a small burst of flame.[/i] [b]Strike[/b]- BACK OFF, ASSHOLE! [i]The Titan leapt into the fray, Shoulder Charging the Knight off the edge of the map. The Hive roared as he floated through the empty space beyond.[/i] [b]Storm[/b]- Thanks.... Goddamnit.... [i]The Warlock lifted up the now destroyed, sparking device. Strike scratched her head.[/i] [b]Strike[/b]- Ummm.... Storm? [b]Storm[/b] [i](looking up)[/i]- Yes? [b]Strike[/b]- ....What is this? [i]The Titan's body was now flickering out of view, almost like she was being teleported.[/i] [b]Storm[/b]- Oh no.... No no no no no.... [i]Storm began tinkering with the device.[/i] [b]Storm[/b]- It's the transmission-extension! Without it, we can't have– [b]Flint[/b]- A fireteam of 9. [i]The Gunslinger spoke as he walked over to them; his body was now flickering as well.[/i] [b]Flint[/b]- Which means we're being sent back to– [b]Violet[/b]- The Tower. [i]Violet and Sunny walked over as their bodies began to flicker.[/i] [b]Blades[/b]- Storm, can't you stop it?! Send me and three others instead! [b]Storm[/b]- I can't, it's random. It'll try to split us as evenly as possible.... [i]Sunny chuckled.[/i] [b]Sunny[/b]- Have fun, everyone. [i]Sunny winked at Blades and gave him a high five.[/i] [b]Sunny[/b]- Don't let us down, man! [b]Blades[/b]- What? No, we can't do this without you guys! [b]Strike[/b]- Storm. [b]Storm[/b]- I'm trying to repair the circuit board. We came this far together, there's no way in hell we're leaving half our team behi– [b]Strike[/b]- STORM. [i]The Titan rested her hand on the Warlock's shoulder and smiled.[/i] [b]Strike[/b]- It's okay. [i]Storm looked her in the eyes.[/i] [b]Strike[/b]- ....Kick his ass and wear it like a hat. [i]And with that, Strike, Flint, Violet, and Sunny finally faded away, leaving 5 of the students standing in the middle of the room.[/i] [b]Oryx[/b]- Such folly. [i]Students looked up at the Taken King as his voice roared.[/i] [b]Oryx[/b]- Allow me to ease your pain. [i]Oryx opened held out his hands, exposing his chest and the faint black core within. With one clap, they'd soon be dead. Blades cringed as he sat down. The side of his stomach was bleeding. Bubbles put the Hunter's arm over his shoulder.[/i] [b]Bubbles[/b]- I've got you, Blades! [b]Blades[/b]- Hehe, yeah.... That Shade took a beating out of me. [b]Nightly[/b]- Well, we've got no ammo, and no way out. What the hell do we do?! [i]Storm was silent.[/i] [b]Storm[/b]- ......... [b]Nightly[/b]- ....Storm? [b]Storm[/b]- ........... [i]Storm looked at the Nightstalker.[/i] [b]Nightly[/b]- We need a plan..... [i]The other four guardians gathered around the Warlock, who now sat with the broken device on the ground.[/i] [b]Nightly[/b]- We need you.... [i]After a pause, Storm grinned.[/i] [b]Storm[/b]- I have an idea.
