You drove the ghost through the tundra and approached the AA gun. It's visage looming over as you drive straight for it and open fire on one of the ghosts.
Elite: Its the Demon!
You hit the boost on the ghost and jumped off causing it two run a Jackal over and threw a Grenade at a squad of grunts blowing them up.
Grunt: For Glory!
The grunt pulled out two plasma grenades and began two charge you but you grappled him and flung him into a ghost killing both the grunt and the ghost's driver.
Location: Atlas Hanger
The teams stood ready as Clover finished speaking.
Clover: Right, we can't wait any longer. The away team to deal with the AA gun has been held up due to some injuries but (Y/N) And Cortana are dealing with it.
Yang: So we're going to have to avoid being shot down now? Great...
Blake: What about the others?
Clover: They entered the facility but we haven't heard back. Their too deep under ground.
The Bullheads got ready and took off.
Location: AA Gun
You finished off the last of the infantry as a wraith came from behind a corner.
Cortana: Great.
It's plasma turret opened fire and you tried to shoot the grunt operating it but the gunner shield made your attempts to unsuccessful.
You made your way into cover and picked a plasma grenade up.
Cortana: Bet you can't stick it.
(Y/N): Your on.
You jumped above your cover and threw the plasma Grenade on the turret and blew the gunner up and landed on the ground behind the wraith.
You then ran up to its back and jumped on before reaching out a Frag grenade out and sticking it into the wraiths engine and jumping off before the wraith blew up.
You then used the Grappleshot shot to get into the AA gun and walked into the control centre.
Cortana: Yank me chief.
You pulled out the AI chip and allowed her into the guns systems.
Cortana: I'll expose the guns generator. Just give me a few-
Eschuram: How many Kitsune remain? Do you even know?
A red hologram of the War Chief appeared as he spoke.
Eschuram: There would have been a tribe of about 200 near Mountain Glenn, all wiped out by me. There is also that team walking into that hell hole of a facility. Such a lose... Do you feel it, in your heart? Does it leave a hole?
You felt anger rise inside of your heart as Eschuram took a pained breath before continuing.
Eschuram: Atriox was my finest recruit. He understood sacrafice and when one was necessary. I honor his memory each day. When our enemy rises, we meet their challenge. It is why I created the hand of Atriox, I found the best! The cruelest killers in Remnant, and taught them how to be better...
He took another breath.
Eschuram: My Spartan killers are coming for you... Now it is your time to rise...
The hologram disappeared and Cortana returned.
Cortana: Chief?
(Y/N): Inform the others that they're walking into a trap!
Cortana: On it!
You looked at the generator as it opened and threw a plasma Grenade at it destroying it and jumping out of the AA gun.
Location: Airspace on route to the mine.
Harriet: No way... He actually did it.
The AA gun exploded as shorts words and broadswords flew past and attacked the phantoms, however one got past and dropped off its two passengers.
Location: Destroyed AA gun.
You got up out of the snow as the fire and debris of the AA gun dropped down and felt a massive fist punch you into a wall. You looked up and saw two brutes standing.
(Tovarus "left" and Hyperious "right")

Hyperious: Looks like we get to finish you off. You may not be my first kill, but you will be the sweetest.
You moved two cover as the two brothers opened fire.
(Y/N): Cortana, I need a solution.
Cortana: Thinking... Got it, pick up that skewer and use it to kill the big one.
You grappled the skewer and moved out of cover and jumped over the two brutes. You shot Tovarus in the head and killed him.
Hyperious: Brother! You'll pay for that!
He swung his Ravager at you but you dodged underneath it an forced the Ravager into his skull.
Cortana: You made that look easy.
(Y/N): It was. I need a ride to that facility.
Cortana: Foehammer is already on her way to get us.
Location: Banished command.
Eschuram looked at the hologram of the two corpses of Hyperious and Tovarus as Salem appeared as a hologram and spoke up.
Salem: You are losing control.
Eschuram: Nothing is lost.
Salem: Deploy your army! Descend upon him!
Eschuram: No. Odds will not break him.
Salem: This is the location where we must go when we have all the relics. It must be protected.
A hologram of beacon appeared. Eschuram hit a few buttons and redirected 4 warships full of soldiers there.
Eschuram: Done. Atriox believed you to be, valuable... Prove him correct.
Salem: When I have the relics are found and you have remnant under your control. You will not question my worth and I will not question your judgement.
The hologram deactivated as Eschuram got angrier and coughed in pain.
Jega: The scent grows stronger. Save your strength.
Eschuram: I must ask something of you my old friend.
