Thunder's Storm

Eris Mourn

Meanwhile in the Tower,(back in present day)

A badly damaged ship, green flames spewed out the rear and the ship seemed to be infected with some kind of Hive chemical. Holliday, the shipwright saw this.

She started shouting orders, "clear the area! Move all ships underground and get out if the way!" A group of robots started running toward her "get those safety nets up in the back, were gonna have to catch her."

The ship came barreling in to the hangar, it made impact against the ground and prices of it flew off and crashed in into the empty hangar bays on the sides. The net stopped the ship from crashing into the wall. Robots rushed over to put the flames out. Holliday and a team of guardians approached the ship with caution. Ikora, Shaxx, Zavala, and Cayde watched from a platform just above the hangar floor.
The ships cockpit released, a strange black mist shot out of the seals, the team of Guardians raised their weapons and aimed at the opening. A small feminine hand with gray skin reached out and grasped the rail. A Hunter rolled out on the ground from the ship. Her gray skin was easy seen, Ikora and the others rushed down.

"That's a Guardian!" Ikora screamed. Medical Bots made their way into the hangar.

Cayde was looking at her,
"Who is it?" He asked

Ikora looked up, eyes wide, "Eris Mourn"

Ikora looked at the hunter, now in the infirmary. She noticed how Eris' visor seemed to have molded to her skin, black tendrils covered her body like veins of darkness. Her hair was short, almost bald, and her hands were somewhat withered. Eris was not a young Guardian, she was part of Tolands (a legendary warlock) fire team, which went missing while trying to find Oryx's son, Crota and kill him. Ikora scratched her head.
There's no way that she should be alive, we found her fire team dead in the Hellmouth. Was she the one that sent the signal all those years ago?

Ikora thought for a moment. Crota was dead, killed by a team of the Vanguards best Guardians. The battle kept it's place in another dimension, Crota's plane. The energy there was corrupting and the Guardians, by some stroke of luck, were somewhat immune to it. The Med Bots picked up Eris and took her to the medical bay.

Shaxx was standing near the exit as Ikora walked that direction

Shaxx grabbed Ikora's arm and leaned in close,
"What's the dead student of Toland doing here? Why is she still alive... We saw her body sink into that pit..."

Ikora snapped back at him , "I know just as much as you do right now!" "I sense an evil presence here now"
She looked to Holliday
"Quarantine that ship! A group of my Warlocks will search it over thoroughly!"

The robots in the hangar saluted and got to work using machines to lift and move the ship. Peices of the rocklike substance that covered the ship broke off and shattered on the floor. A bot was picking then up and putting them in a bag.

Later

Ikora and the other vanguard leaders where watching the medbots working on the disheveled body of Eris. Ikora was crying a little bit, she was friends with Eris a long time ago, before she went missing when she, Toland and others went down into Crota's domain. Zavala and Shaxx were devising plans to keep her under guard and, if needs be, eliminate the threat. Cayde was looking at the other mentors, yawning, he have a slight chuckle at the busyness of the others and walked away. Ikora started speaking to the others,

"We need to contact Thantalus and his fire team and tell them what's going on and to wait for further orders. I have a bad feeling about all of this..."

Meanwhile near Old Chicago

Susanna was in the lead of the line, Thantalus behind her and Alex behind him. They all had their weapons at the ready.

"Set, Go!" Susanna rushed around the corner and let loose a solar charged punch to a Hive Acolyte square in the face breaking the strange bonds that held it's head on. The rest of the Hive patrol turned around and screeched only to be interrupted by a thunderbolt arced between them, and a void arrow followed immediately after pinning two together and disintegrating them . Susanna and Thantalus finishing the job with their auto rifles. 

"Good work!" Thantalus was looking around, "Thats the seventh patrol we've come across in the last two hours, we've got to be close to the main entrance of their burrow."

Ikora's voice interjected before anyone could reply to Thantalus.
"Guardians... Something's happened here at the tower..." She trailed off.

Thantalus activated his comms,
"What's the matter Ikora! What happened?"

Ikora spoke,
"Thantalus, you were on that crew of warlocks that went down into the Hellmouth a few weeks after they killed Crota right?"
Thantalus searched his memory,
"I was, why?"
Ikora was silent for a moment,
"Remember that Guardian we found who was trapped in the crystalline walls in Crota's dimension..."

Thantalus was thinking

Ikora started again,
"She just flew in, on a ship, in the hangar..."

Thantalus sat back on his haunches, trying to comprehend what he just heard. That Guardian, was Eris, we tried to get her out but as we broke through she was pulled further in. There's no way that she could have gotten away. Unless...
"Ikora... You know what she could be right? You know this may be another of Oryx's tricks?

Ikora was silent for a moment,
"Two steps ahead of you Guardian."
Thantalus took a breath of relief
"Oh, and Guardian..." "Yes?"

"Eyes up, keep going with your mission and find out what's going on there while we do similar here."
She stopped talking for a moment,
"If there's some kind of higher power than we already know out there, let's home these instances they aren't related."

Thantalus looked to the rest of his fire team. They both looked back at him with a solemn look. "Let's keep moving!" He finally said.

At the tower

Ikora's comms beeped off then immediately returned with Shaxx's voice,
"Ikora come to the med bay,
Eris is waking..."
