"Be wise guardians for only your fellow team members can bring you back from the dead." Lord Shaxx said as we appeared in front of team DATa. "Prepare to Burn." I spat, using intimidation to my advantage. I could see the solar energies burning in Nemori as well. Vette just remained silent. Team DATa just looked at each other and nodded.

We started on the inside of the Burning shrine. Vette went left and she drew he scout rifle as she slid around the corner. "Two Sunside, one inside." She replied as she fired off a few shots at the straggler inside. I crouched and readied my Hawkmoon. One of the hunters came around the corner and into my field of vision, I squeezed the trigger once and luck was with me. I watched as a white hot bullet slammed into the hunters face. "Holding aces. One down." I muttered under my breath. The Titan fired a few rounds off from his bad juju and forced me to back off. I heard a shotgun sound not to far off and Vette said,"Another down." "Pressure the last." I said taking off at a full sprint toward where I thought the last hunter was.


I saw a blip on the radar and in an instance it was gone. "Last one is invis." I said looking through Hawkmoon's Iron sights. I heard a chime that meant

that an enemy had been revived. "Dammit! he blew right by me." I said turning as the hunteress drew up on me with her sniper rifle. I tried to slide out of her line of fire but she nailed me right in the head.

Darkness.


But suddenly a light approaches.

I opened my optics to see Vette. "Try not to die next time." She said "Yeah, thanks." I said.


"Round Two. NOVA has the lead." I hear as we spawn into our side of the map. I took off at a sprint and I jumped across the bridge in the middle of the

map. I Shotgunned the Titan as he ran by. "Titan down." I said throwing a shell into my shotgun shell. I peeked out quickly to try and get a bead on the

hunters, but when I did a bolt of arc energy flashed past my face. "Too close." I muttered to myself as I threw a grenade in their direction. I heard the

charge of a Fusion Rifle and another one of the hunters dropped. "Last one's far out." Nemori said as I saw her go down. The sniper was good. "Vette, get

Nemori. I got this." I said as I pulled out Hawkmoon. I jumped over a small block and activated my lift. I looked around but couldn't find the Hunter, and

then in a instance endless pain.


I stood back up as Vette Revived me. "I got this." She said mimicking my voice. I looked at the score board. At least we were winning. "She's good." I said

as we started heading back for spawn. "She tracked you straight threw the arc of your jump." Vette said. "I think I have an idea for that." I said grinning.


"Round Three. NOVA has the lead." I took my Hand cannon and I pushed right down the center of the arena. I dropped one of the hunters in three quick shots. I saw the Titan and fired at him. The shot connected with his head. I was about to fire another shot but the Titan began to glow blue. I took off as fast as I could to try and avoid the fist of Havoc. But in an instance I heard a sniper fire and the Titan dropped mid flight. "Good lord...." I muttered looking over at Nemori. I saw through her visor she was sticking her tongue out. "Last one is sunside." Vette said keeping the last hunter pinned. "He we go again." I

muttered jumping over the same block. I activated glide but I aimed down the sight's of Hawkmoon and my assumption came to be. The hunter was following my arc and hadn't expected me to stop she fired ahead of me and missed. I floated motionless in the air as I fired and the Huntress dropped in one shot. "Clean Kill." I muttered to myself.


"Round 4 NOVA has the lead." I sprinted toward the bridge and Vette pulled in front of me. She went to aim her scout Rifle but she was met with the Titan's shoulder in her face. I tried to pull my shotgun out but I was too slow the Titan activated his fist of Havoc dispelling me into little arc fragments. I watched Nemori's light glow closer but then it was instantly cut out by another bolt of Arc light. "Lets keep this going." I thought to myself as I brought myself back to life through fireborn. As I stood up I started to revive Vette. She was up a moment later. I grinned but that smirk was soon washed away as the final Huntress drew her golden gun. She Aimed at at me and she smiled, firing killing both Vette and I in a single shot. She stood over my ghost

gloating. But I saw Nemori's light beginning to burn. She sprinted away from the our group, as the Capture point activated. Nemori sat in the point and took

the round in NOVA's Favor. She Bowed, much to the aggravation of team DATa.


"Nice save." I said as we regrouped near our spawn. "Thanks." She said giggling slightly. "Final Round, NOVA Match Point." I looked to Vette and said,


"Finish 'em" She nodded quickly and activated her super sending her flying toward team DATa. In a matter of moments the round was over.


It seemed only moments when we reentered the tower when Omega said, "The Queen requests your presence, immediately."
