Timelines Ch34.

A large glass tank exploded, sending shrapnel flying. The dead remains of some misshapen creature flopped out. Drake deployed a ward, surrounding us with void light. Lysander's laugh sounded, echoing throughout the room. "It looks like you are on the menu now." The creature, which was apparently not dead, raised its head and screamed. It was a hideous thing, with long tentacles. Its head was that of a hive thrall, with multiple eyes running down the side of its head. The thing oozed it way towards us. I activated my Arc blade, and charged. Drake threw a suppression grenade, momentarily stunning it. I launched myself forward, slicing at the tentacles as I passed. Three of them dropped to the floor. Suddenly, the creature emitted a pulse wave, throwing me and Drake to the floor. It's tentacles extended, as sharp needles poked out from them. "Move!" I yelled to Drake. We jumped to our feet, running as the creature followed. Suddenly, I had an idea. "Drake!" I yelled. He turned. "What?" "I have an idea!" I said as we hid behind a large tank. Quickly, I explained my plan. "That just might work." he said. The creature let out a bone chilling screech. "Go!" I yelled. Drake took off running. "Hey! Squidface! You want me!" he yelled. The creature tore after him. Drake immediately began skating around the room. I dove under a pile of paper and sheets of metal left over from the creation of the Hybrids. I covered myself until I couldn't be seen. Drake shot past with the creature right behind him. I pulled out my shotgun and waited. As the creature passed over me, I unloaded the mag into the creature. It screeched and fell flat on it's face, gas leaking out of it. "Woohoo!" I yelled, standing up. "Good job!" Drake said. A loud noise sounded behind us. We turned to see Lysander flinging open a door and disappearing. "After him!" Drake said. We took off after him, running through the tunnels until we reached the Tower plaza. The City was burning. The Fallen, Hive, Vex, And Cabal were fighting in the streets. I saw Lysanders coat tail vanishing over the edge of the railing. "Where is he going?" I asked. "Based on his current heading..." Hex paused. "What?" I asked. "He's going for the Traveler." Hex said.
