I had only been in the area for a couple of minutes, taking out some "scorn" and a few hive lackeys, the usual. I was about to attend to a certain assignment from the "vanguard" when I intercepted a call from Immaru. He said he had "valuable" information that he was willing to share with us selflessly. You know how he is. It could be anything, from more riddles to perhaps the location of an important target. In this case, I hit the jackpot with the latter. He mentioned something about large groups of the "hive" and "scorn" converging at a single point. They were planning something and I needed to go investigate. Giving me a location, I headed to the area, sincerely hoping not to find anything.

I would be lying if I said I didn't initially distrust what he had told me. The area he was sending me to was quite remote from where I usually patrol. It seemed so devoid of life that I almost thought I was being led into a trap like a fool.

B: "Upon reflection, it could very well be a trap."


D: "Sure, whatever, go ahead."

Immaru didn't give me the exact address, but after trudging through a disgusting swamp, I found a hidden cave among a pile of dry trees and moss, which seemed to be my entrance to what the stupid "ghost" had told me about. Normally, I would have gone in shooting first and asking questions later, but I had a feeling that something else was waiting for me inside. So I entered cautiously, expecting the worst. At first, it was just a dark cave like any other, but it wasn't until I had gone a good distance that the sound of whispers caught my attention.

I advanced a little further until an orange light began to illuminate my path. The murmurs grew louder and the possible presence of dark forces was almost confirmed. Turning a corner, I found my targets. There were many Scorn gathered in a kind of meeting. They were a significant group, a small army, but nothing a Titan like me couldn't handle. I was already preparing my hand cannon when the presence of a new enemy stopped me. One of the Scorn raised his hands towards an entrance nearby. From there emerged a group of Hive guardians.

Three of them, one of each class. At that moment, I reconsidered a bit. Individually, they wouldn't be a problem, but three in the same place, plus the annoying Scorn, would indeed be a challenge. I thought about contacting the "Vanguard" about the situation and requesting some reinforcements to ensure victory. I didn't even have the chance to open a communication channel when a group of Scorn appeared behind me, catching me by surprise. I immediately opened fire, revealing my location, and within seconds, everyone present began to attack me. 

There were too many of them, and the pressure exerted by the Hive guardians was too much for a prolonged confrontation. I had no choice but to flee as best as I could. They had "closed off" the way I came, so I had to improvise an escape. Using my "Thundercrash," I charged at the group blocking the path, advancing like a superhero. I thought I was safe until an arrow from a Hive hunter hit near me, cutting off my power abruptly, and to top it off, the shield of their Titan hit me and the surrounding walls head-on. The impact must have been so intense that everything started to collapse along with the ground.

In a matter of seconds, during which I couldn't recover, I fell into a bottomless pit, being crushed by an inhuman amount of debris.
