[i]For those just tuning in the link to part one is above. Shoutout to AltGamingBros for working with me to make a combined series. Disclaimer, I don't own any Bungie stuff, just my stories and of course my guardian. Now strap yourself in, this one's a doozy.[/i] Malex: Kid? Hey just who do you think you are? Reflection: My name is Jaren Ward. Malex staggered back, his expression was pure shock Malex: Jaren Ward? But you're... Jaren: Dead? Yeah I know, that's why I'm here. Nice Cannon by the way Malex looked down at his Last Word Malex: It used to be yours. I thought Yor killed you Jaren: He did. But when Shin killed him my light was released and now I'm here. Now about your answers. The reason you can't beat Sevestapol is because you suck Malex: Wow. Okay thanks for that totally uplifting wisdom Jaren: It's the truth kid. And you are kid Malex: You know what? I don't need this. I'm out of here Jaren: Sure, you just have to kill that (points to a giant taken Phalanx guarding the blight holding the portal out sealed) Malex: Sure. That's easy (casts Golden Gun) watch and learn He fires six shots. The phalanx doesn't even flinch. Instead he stomps the ground and sends Malex flying. Jaren: Wow, so amazing. You killed that thing real good. Malex: (gets up) Oh shut up. Jaren: Well kid since you're stuck here you might as well listen to what I have to say. (he waves his hand in the air and the landscape changes) They were in the woods of North America. In a place that used to be called Virginia. A little ghost wandered around, scanning things. He came across a skeleton leaning up on a tree. Ghost: Hmm, maybe you're the one. (He sends a wave of light over the skeleton. Rebuilding it's body and reviving it) Malex: Wait, I recognize this... Young Malex: (Gasps) What the!? Where am I? Ghost: Hi guardian. Welcome back Malex: (Turns to Jaren) What is this!? Jaren: Just watch kid. And learn Young Malex got up and stretched and began to walk as his Ghost, at this time nameless, explained what just happened. He came up to an old log cabin. He opened the door and there stood a fallen captain. The captain knocked young Malex to the ground and his crew began to throw him about. Toying with him before they went for the kill. This went on for hours. Young Malex: No (begins to burn) NO!!!! He casts the Golden Gun for the first time and kills them all. Standing there, he knew what class he wanted to be. [i]Hunter[/i] Malex: What did I just watch? Jaren why did you show me that? Jaren: Shut up and pay attention (he waves his hand again and the scene changes to the dreadnought, in Oryx's throne room.) Oryx was fighting a guardian, he took a swing with his mighty sword at the hunter. The hunter slides and casts a Golden Gun, he fires. The shot hits the sword and shatters it as an explosion of darkness radiates from the broken blade and Oryx falls to the ground. The guardian, hurt, exhausted, and bleeding walks over to the Taken king. That battle had gone on for days. Young Malex: This is for my fireteam (he pulls the trigger) Jaren: Remember this? When you got your revenge on Oryx? Malex: I remember... Jaren shifts the scene again. Now they stood on the red legion command ship. Gaul had stolen the light and was throwing solar, arc, and void light in a powerful combination in his direction. A lone hunter bobs and weaves though the onslaught and casts his Golden Gun. Young Malex: FOR THE CITY!!! He fires again and again. After an hour the battle ended, Gaul was dead and the traveler awoke. The scene changes again. Malex stood over Uldren Sov, holding the Ace of Spades. Young Malex says nothing as he pulls the trigger and kills Uldren. Young Malex: For Cayde... Jaren: You sure did a lot of avenging kid. To bad you weren't around for Yor. Malex remained silent Jaren: Speechless are we? Good. One more visit The scene changes. Malex, now a master gunslinger stands before the hive weapon master. He goes to draw his trusty Ace, but it was The Last Word that came to his call. He kills the weapon master responsible for so many dead guardians so fast he never knew what hit him. He looked at his knew cannon and slid it into his holster. Taking the place of the Ace. The scene shifts back to the present. Malex: What...what did you just show me? Jaren: That was your past kid. Your journey up till now. Kid, every time you drew your cannon, ignited your Golden Gun, it was for vengeance. Either for yourself or for others. And that's why you couldn't beat that Warlock. It's why you're here now. Malex: Huh? What do you mean? Jaren: Kid, you're fueled by vengeance. You hunt shadows because of your own personal vendetta. Revenge can get you far, but it will always fall short Malex: Then what...? Jaren: Justice. Don't hunt for yourself, hunt for those who can't. Don't hunt because you've been done dirty. Hunt, because the shadows are in the wrong. Hunt, because it's the right thing to do. Malex: (turns to the shard) Because it's the right thing to do... He felt a new fire within his chest. He seized it, nurtured it, and sent the flame into a burning blaze! The fire burst into the focus of a new purpose, of a new creed. A Golden Gun formed in his hand, it shined brighter than any that had come before! Malex's light was blinding, with an intensity that could purge any shadow. He turned and fired one shot. The blast went through the nearly unstoppable phalanx's shield, through the phalanx, through the blight's shield, and into the blight. It exploded and the path out of the forest became clear. Jaren: Looks like you forged yourself a new Golden Gun. Malex turns, still bright with his fire Jaren Ward: Now go hunt yourself a Dark Warlock, Gunslinger. [i]In the Annex, Drifter's room[/i] Sevestapol was meditating peacefully. Suddenly she screamed and broke her trance. Rika: What is it? Slayer: Probably just being weird Sev: No, I sensed something. Through the void. An intense heat. (her eyes widened as she realized what happened) Malex... he's forged a new Golden Gun. And he's coming for his friends. For the first time in her life, she was worried Elite-5 grins: (whispers) Oh it's on [i]To be continued[/i] Part 8: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/251397787
