Terraria: Celestial Tower

Dust's Dusk

A small resistance has grown to be a formidable force, showing their hate for the new mission they have been assigned. I honestly agree with them. We shouldn't take over a planet we have no knowledge of and if there is sentient life on that planet, I don't think they would kindly hand it over to us.

"Streamem, it is time." I looked over to my old friend, who is also a member of the small rebellion, named Orion. "Oh? We are to attack Terraria?" I said, as guards walked passed us.

"Yes, we are old friend." He nodded, his eyes catching mine, showing very little interest in the subject.

I was descending upon Terraria, where I saw things I did not know existed. I had read certain things in the reports from the probe we used to scan the area. I landed on what the people here call sand. I sunk a little into the ground, but I didn't take notice of it. The rebellion force arrived shortly, Orion appearing at my side.

"Soon, my friend, this planet will have no worries." He murmured to me, his usually bright eyes hardened with concentration. I nodded towards him, before looking around to see what everything around me. A large fortress seemed to be seen from a distance, very little to be seen beyond it though.

"You ready for the assault Streamem?" A fellow Stargazer, though not part of the rebellion, asked me when I nodded and tried to look determined.

"They won't know what hit them." I murmured to myself before I was roughly pat on the back, causing me to stumble forward a little bit.

"Attack!" A Stargazer commanded, before many of the rebellion put themselves into action. Attacking the closest one to them, I let loose the hatred I had contained. Milkyway Weavers and Stargazers from the rebellion attacked with endless fury, Star Cells were used as shields and a defence for their multiplying regeneration ability while the Twinkle Poppers were used as artillery and were behind the Stargazers. One of my best friends, a Milkyway Weaver who goes by the name Scorpio, attacked and circled around me to deflect any blows that were thrown at me. I jumped out of the spiralling Scorpio and came down with my staff in hand, bringing it down onto an enemy Star Cell. Once it broke into four, I destroyed its multiples so that it could not regenerate. I looked over my shoulder and saw the fighting continue.

"Dammit. Scorpio, Orion... Damn you!" I shouted before raising my staff high above me. "Come forth Regulus, I need you now!" A blinding light appeared where I stood, allowing me to summon and mount Regulus and get some altitude for my advantage. I pointed down and murmured softly Regulus, who just nodded slightly. He dived down as Star Cells moved in front of him. Regulus charged right through them while I took them out with my staff. The force field on the Pillar fell, making me look towards it as the aftershocks almost threw me off Regulus.

"Regulus, we need to take down that Pillar!" I pointed him towards the Pillar while he growled softly. We dived for the Pillar, Regulus dealing damage by creating a deep laceration in the pillar while I did the same with my staff, creating a stripe. A flash of green-blue and purple caught my eyes before the Pillar erupted into Stardust Fragments. I jumped off Regulus and met the two blurs I had seen destroy the Pillar. A Vortexian and Predictor, what were they doing here?

"I am Nebule, this is Vortexa. We are trying to save this world from ultimate destruction." The Predictor claiming her name was Nebule murmured. I nodded and brought Regulus to my side.

"I am Stre- Stardust, I am Stardust Streamem and this is Regulus, my Stardust Dragon." He nuzzled me slightly as I stroked his forehead.

"Nebule and Stardust, I recommend you pick up those Fragments that were dropped from the Pillar. I will go on to the Solar Pillar. Oh, welcome to the team, Stardust." I nodded in gratitude as Regulus dipped his head as Vortexa pat him, smiling slightly.

"Otherworldly voices linger around you..."
