The Flame of Despair

Memory Lane

July 26th

Ryan, Arya, Sense, and Blackout had arrived back at the tower. Both Blackout's and Ryan's ship were the only ships that rested on the towers bay.
Cayde spun his handcannon around his finger patiently wanting for the guardians to enter the Vanguard hall.
Arya hopped out of the ship giggling while Sense and Ryan followed her. She ran back to Ryan grabbing his hand. She swung it happily and they made their way to Cayde.
Blackout exited his ship. He laughed at the sight of his mom holding her future husband's hand. "Hey love birds! None of that shit with Cayde!"
Both Ryan and Arya looked at each other. Instantly they ripped their hands part blushing.
Blackout laughed silently and they walked away awkwardly, " Ah love is a stupid thing." He rests his back one his ship shaking his head as they left his sight.
Cayde held a straight face as they entered quietly. Both Ryan and Arya stopped at the steps while Sense hover closer towards Cayde.
Sense hovered towards a holographic monitor that was on Caydes desk, "We have the information that we needed."
Cayde never left his eyes from Ryan and Arya. He stood their quietly as Sense continued on, "Ryan And Arya?"
Arya jumped slightly, 'He knows my actual name! How would he have known that?'
Cayde continued, "Do you mind stepping out for a bit. I need to have a talk with Sense."
Sense looked at Ryan giving him a small nod. Sense watched the two Guardians walk off awkwardly without any eye contact.
Cayde waited for Sense to focus. The tiny ghost turned to the holographic monitor as Ryan and Arya disappeared.
Cayde crossed his arms, " We can't keep sending him on stupid missions much longer."
Sense turned to Cayde, " You're the one who is in charge here. What do you want me to do?"
Cayde laughed quietly, "Why are you not in a rush to find Eclipse. He's part of your team, don't forget that."
Sense avoided looking at Cayde, "I know but I don't want to future to happen. I don't want Ryan to suffer."
Cayde sat silently, " You can't stop that. The void already set it's path towards him. Stopping Ryan from finding Eclipse won't change that."
Sense uploaded the last of the Data, " If that's the truth then let's get our lost friend back. That's if he wants to come back."
Cayde grabbed one of the throwing knives that were place on the map of mars, " Tell the others that we set flight in the morning."
Sense lowered his metal parts, "Really, you're joking right? Scott's coming too?"
Cayde laughed, "Aw I thought you guys bonded back there."
Sense gave Cayde a long cold look of disappointment, " We already have one crazy ass guardian on this team. I can't handle another."
Cayde stuck one of his knives in the table, "Don't worry about that my friend, you'll be taking Cliff and Luna as well."
Sense back off slowly, " It just gets better and better? Have you seen them lately?"
Cayde laughed, " Aaaaaah I had you there." Cayde slams his fist on the table as he laughed slowly came to an end, "But you're taking Scott. He's the most experienced with the Vex. Plus how else are you going to make the jump back in time. He's the only one who can do it as of right now."
Sense growled to himself. He hovered towards the exit to join up with the others back at their room.

Eclipse
April 17

Elizabeth smiled as she laid next to Andrew who was sound asleep. She rubbed her fingers in his dark hair.
Andrew slowly opened his eyes as Elizabeth continued to rub stoke his hair softly.
Andrew froze in confusion, ' What the hell is going on.' He looked around the room only to see a large certain flowing above them down to the bed.
Andrew sat up quickly but was pressed back down softly as Elizabeth rest her finger on his lips.
"Don't move Andrew, you need to rest a bit more. You've injured yourself badly."
Andrew was stunned by her voice, 'Where have I met this young girl before?'
Elizabeth laugh softly, "When I get the word from the doctor then you can go out side."
Andrew vision blurred as he looked at his hand only to find flesh. He fell back to a gentle rest while Elizabeth continued to rub his head.

Ryan
July 27th

Blackout gripped his ships controls as he shot towards Mars. Ryan and Arya sat at the back of the ship studying the map of Mars, while Sense hovered around the ship.
Blackout tapped 3 buttons then walked towards the group, " Okay, We should be arriving at mars in about 3 hours."
Ryan slid his helmet off placing it on the table next to the map, " Nice, we can pass the time by getting to know each other more."
Blackout didn't move, " Nah you don't need to know me. In fact my friend, the less you know the better."
Arya turn towards Ryan who looked both confused and angry, " Don't you think we should get to know each other in order to be functional team?"
Scott bowed his head. The light from the ship made his black armor shine, " Look when it's time then you'll know everything. For right now all you need to know is I'm on your side."
Ryan gripped his fist, " Does anyone know who you Are?"
Blackout sat in silence. A smile cracked on his face but was blocked by his helmet.
Ryan mumbled under his breath just as Cayde's voice appeared thought the ships coms, " Okay kiddies keep it clean. I don't have time to fix another ship again."
Blackout laughed then looked at Ryan, "You have my word Cayde. I don't know about him."
Ryan held anger in his eyes, " Just take your helmet off and tell me your name. It isn't that hard."
Cayde sighed over the Coms, " Look Ryan, Blackout is one of my best Guardians. I trust him with my life. You should give it a try."
Ryan turned towards Arya who slid her helmet off giving a small comforting smile.
Ryan looked back at Blackout. He extended his hand towards him, " I'll give it a shot only if you take orders from me."
Blackout laughed softly, " What ever makes you sleep better bud." Blackout took his hand shaking it firmly.
