[i]For those just tuning in the link to Pt.1 is above. Shoutout to AltroGamingBros and Venom Sprinter for working with me to make a miniverse. Special thanks to Oddish for letting me take a spin with his kinderguardians, I hope I do them justice. Disclaimer I don't own any Bungie stuff. Now Let's begin![/i] Malex and Oddish rode until dusk. With the setting of the sun the two guardians hitched the horses and made camp. Malex unsaddled the horses while Oddish made a campfire. Malex cooked some beans over the fire and the two ate Malex: Man that's good (strikes match on boot and lights cigar) Oddish: Okay, how do you do that? Malex: Just an old trick I picked up. So, that little girl is your daughter huh? Oddish: Yeah, her mother actually stole my genetic material just so she could have my baby Malex: That's, not okay Oddish: That's what I said! Anyway, I love my daughter but, I'm not sure about her mother. She's a lovely woman but, I just can't. She's a former student Malex: Oh He##. You have a hot chick so madly in love with you she stole your genetic material just so she could have your baby and you're NOT dating her!? Dude, she's a fricken guardian who's over 93 years old. In case you haven't noticed, we don't age. She still looks 21! Take the woman out! Oddish: Oh, and how would you know about women? Malex: I got a girl, a female hunter named Rika. If an old prick like me can find love, you can bet Paula will go for a gentleman Titan such as yourself Oddish: You may be right, but I can't think about that right now. We need to focus on saving those kids. How long until we get there? Malex: I reckon it's a two day ride. And you're avoiding the subject Oddish: I am not Sigmund (Oddish's Ghost): Yeah, you are Oddish: Oh shut up, it's late and I'm going to bed. Goodnight [i]On the Ketch[/i] Paula struggled against her restraints. She had been stripped of her armor and weapons, only her jumpsuit covered her. Her restraints were made to hold back an ogre, they would hold this Titan. Paula looked to her left and right. The kinderguardians were chained to various walls and chairs. Paula: Petra? Are you okay? Petra: Mommy? Mommy my wrists hurt Paula: It's going to be okay sweetie, daddy will be here real soon. (Whispers) Oddish, where are you? Ricardo looked around the room. He looked at Paula and the rest of his class. The little Gunslinger was determined to save them. Ricardo: What would Malex do? Ricardo got an idea. He would shoot his way out. He channeled his solar light into his hand to cast his Golden Gun. Blue lights on his restraints turned on and arc energy was sent through the little gunslingers body. His concentration broke and his Golden Gun faded. Ricardo: AHHHH!!! (the shock ended. he was breathing heavily) ow, that really hurt. Paula: Ricardo, don't try that again. I don't want you getting hurt. Ricardo: Don't worry Ms. Paula, I'll get us out of here. Just like Malex would. I bet he's on his way now. Albus (Gloria's Ghost): We don't even know if they're alive... Gloria: Albus! Albus: Just sayin... Paula: Don't listen to him kids. Oddish and Malex are on their way, they have to be. Two fallen dregs walked into the cell room. They began to, inspect Petra. Probably seeing if she'd make a good slave. Paula: Leave my daughter alone! The dregs laughed and walked over to the mother titan. They began to beat her. Her screams could be heard throughout the halls of the ketch. [i]Back on the Trail[/i] Oddish: So you're an Iron Lord too? Malex: Heck yeah I am. Been one ever since I beat the SIVA virus. Or, tech. Whatever the He## SIVA was. Oddish: That was you? Geez, I underestimated you. Malex: A lot of people made that mistake. They, aren't around anymore. (pulls reigns and brings horse to a stop) There she blows. Oddish: So that's where the ketch is huh? (leans in saddle to get a better look) I might have a plan to get in. (leans a little more) Maybe we could... (falls out of the saddle again.) Oddish rolled down the cliff-face overlooking the ketch. He landed in a heap on the ground. His ghost revived him, while laughing his shell off. Sigmund: (laughing) Oh. My. Gosh. Did you really just fall out of the saddle again? Oddish: You know what? I think I hate horses now. A lot Sigmund: That's because you can't ride Oddish: Shut up. (sees fallen approaching him and draws his Sweet Business) Well, here we go [i]Back inside of the Ketch [/i] Dreg (in fallen speak): There's a guardian here! We need to secure the prisoners! Captain (in fallen speak): Bring them outside! We'll use them to our advantage! [i]Back Outside[/i] Oddish dropped another dreg. Vandal snipers filled the sky with arcbolts from their line rifles. Oddish emptied his minigun and reloaded, but it needed time to cool. Oddish: Okay then He cast his Sentinal shield. Captain America style he tore through the fallen. He threw his shield, it sliced through three fallen vandals before returning to his hand. He stomped throats, broke jaws, and snapped necks. He moved to enter the Ketch. A captain calmly walked in front of him. Oddish grabbed him and went for the kill but the captain stopped him. Captain (in broken English): Don't, you'll regret it Oddish: You speak English? Well then, why would I regret putting down a punk like you? Captain: Because, I have your class (points to the front of the Ketch) The fallen guards walked the kinders out onto the deck. Paula was beaten, her face bloody, with two black eyes. A vandal held a knife to little Petra's throat. Oddish: You let my family go or so help me I'll... Captain: Family? Well then, it seems we not only have your class, but your loved ones as well. Kill me, and they die Oddish: Fine (fazes out super and drops Sweet Business) You win. Captain: Good. You are smarter than you look (motions to crew) Three vandals came and put Oddish in restraints and put him to his knees. They put a ghost restraint on Sigmund. Paula: Oddish...Why? Oddish: You know why Captain: Isn't this sweet? I guess I'll just have to (hears a noise) What was that? The sound of spurs echoed through the air. The footsteps grew louder, louder, and louder still. The Captain and his crew raised their weapons. Malex turned the corner and stood before them. Malex: Well now, what have we here? Seems it's my lucky day Captain: A Gunslinger. And here I thought we had a problem. You're outnumbered and outgunned. Turn around, and I'll let you live Malex considered his options. There were four Vandal snipers on the catwalk above him. 16 Dregs on the ground, one with the knife to Petra's throat, plus the Captain. All with their guns raised. Malex needed to use an old trick. Malex: (chuckles and lights a cigar) Well, looks like you got me beat! It ain't my family or class you got. So I reckon I won't bother you (turns around to go) Oddish: Malex...Why? I thought we were friends! The fallen sighed with relief and lowered their weapons. Malex: THE HE## I WON'T!!! He spun around and drew The Last Word. He fanned of six shots, the first knocked the knife out of the vandal's hand, letting Petra breath a little. The other five killed five dregs. Malex rolled and picked up Oddish's Sweet Business. He let it rip, laughing as he fired. Malex: I gotta get me one of these! A Dreg snuck up behind Malex with a knife, but was hit with a Golden Gun blast. Malex: What the? Malex turned and saw little Ricardo holding his tiny Golden Gun. He had found a way out of his restraints, just like he said he would. Malex dropped the Sweet Business, and cast his own Golden Gun. Malex: Alright kid, let's rip em a new one! Ricardo: Right behind you Malex! The two Gunslingers tore into the fallen. Ricardo fired slowly, one at a time. Malex: No kid, you're doing it wrong. Watch me! Malex fanned the hammer of his Golden Gun, killing 10 fallen in less than a second. More fallen ran out of the ketch. Ricardo: Oh, okay. I'll try it that way Ricardo began to fan the hammer of his Golden Gun, nowhere near as fast or as powerful as Malex, but faster all the same. Malex leaped up onto the catwalk and killed them. Ricardo's super ran out, with no other weapon it was all up to Malex now. Malex fazed out his super and drew The Last Word, he killed the last eight Dregs and reloaded. All that was left was the captain. He tried to beg for his life but Malex wasn't having it. Malex had the last word. He holstered his gun and freed the kinders and their Ghosts. Oddish wrapped his family in a huge bear hug. They were all crying tears of joy. Malex knelt down in front of Ricardo. Malex: You did good kid. Here, I have a present for you. You earned it Malex handed him his old Hawkmoon. Malex: This cannon served me well for years. Then I got the Ace and then The Last Word. I haven't used it in forever. It's yours now. Ricardo: Wow, a real hand-cannon. Thank you Mr. Malex! Malex: Now kid, you have a gun now. You don't take crap from anyone anymore you hear? Ricardo: You got it Mr. Malex Malex: Good. Also as a Gunslinger you need to learn how to flirt. You have a lot of girls in your class. Give it a go. Plus, I think Petra might like you Ricardo: Really? Okay, I'll try flirting Malex: Cool (looks at Oddish and waves) Now go to your teacher kid Ricardo: Okay, bye Mr. Malex (runs off) Peacemaker (Malex's Ghost): You're terrible, you know that? Malex: Gunslinger 101, always piss off Titans. Let's let Oddish have his family reuinon. The frontier is calling my name Malex saddled up, lit a cigar, and rode off into the sunset [i] Next Day, in the kinderguardian class[/i] Oddish: RICARDO! Put that gun away! And stop flirting with my daughter! [i]In the EDZ[/i] Fallen Vandal: We found the ketch, it was being shot-up by a gunslinger using The Last Word and smoking a cigar Ronin: Looks like my old friend is alive [i]To Be Continued[/i] Part 21: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/251636160
