Path of Totality; A TDS Eclipse Event Story

🌘Chapter 7🌒

      Commander walked into the hand to hand combat training field. He got some good tips that all the titans were there. That was odd, they never liked to group together. Ever since they got here, they've pretty much been avoiding one another.

      "Void Reaver? Are you busy-!" Commander managed to dive out of the way as Fallen King came flying at him. He managed to look over just in time to see the titan get back up and growl softly. He did not seem happy.

      Void Reaver kept up a defensive position, growling just as hard. Commander had never seen the void titan get so aggressive. He was usually passive.

      He watched in disbelief as Fallen King charged at him and grab his shoulders. It was a pushing match now to see who could push the other way.

      Void Reaver hissed, the strain hurting him. "Give it up, you're a relic of the past! You're past your prime!" Fallen King insulted.

      "You haven't even hit yours yet!" Void Reaver growled back as he dug his feet into the ground and began to push Fallen King back. Fallen King panicked for just a moment, but that costed him the match.

      Void Reaver managed to push Fallen King down to his knees. Grabbing his head, he drove his knee up and slammed the armored body part into Fallen King's face. The bested titan fell back, grabbing his face in pain.

      "Never underestimate your enemy. Show no mercy. They won't do the same if they beat you," Void Reaver growled and walked away, leaving Fallen King to writh in pain.

      Commander stood there, his jaw dropped. Never had he seen two titans duke it out so brutally. He would of assumed maybe Molten Boss would instigate some fights, but not from Void Reaver.

      Shaking out of his trance, he hurried off to the titan. Void Reaver was panting, clearly exhausted and needing to sit down. "Hold on! What was that all about? You just beat his ass senseless!" Commander stopped him.

      Void Reaver turned around and growled, still in fight mode. He calmed himself after seeing it was just Commander. "Wasn't it obvious? We were training. I hope you don't mind, but we are using some of your equipment," Void Reaver sat down where he stood, groaning as he stretched a leg out.

      Commander shook his head in confusion and looked up at him, "What equipment are you using?" His answer was quickly answered after Molten Boss walked past with some chains.

      "Hey! What are you using those for!?" Commander screamed at him. Molten turned and sneered, "We're gonna use them like whips, dumbass! I'm gonna use that giant pipe we found as a staff next."

     Molten then turned his attention to Void Reaver and began to poke fun at him, "Look at that, grandpa here is needing his nap. Maybe if you didn't have all that shitty ass armor on, you wouldn't be so weighed down." Void Reaver stared at him then began to get up.

      That prompted Molten to make his escape quickly. "Damn baby," Void Reaver grumbled. "I mean, he does have a point. You're one of the last ones to retire your armor in exchange for something more comfortable," Commander spoke up to him, but cowered when Void Reaver glared down at him.

      "This armor is as old as I am. It has protected me from many foes from eons ago!" Void Reaver made it clear his armor wasn't going to be removed. "Oh really? Battles from eons ago are much different from today. Mind if I?" Commander took out his pistol.

      Void Reaver agreed, confident in his armor. One shot was all it took to pierce through and make the big titan yelp. "As shown, your armor is old. Much like you," Commander sneered, but backed off when Void Reaver crouched and got in his face.
