Destiny 2- The Aftermath

Chapter One

Trostland, EDZ

Kit-17, Kyne

Two months after the Red War

The hunter stood on a ridge, watching from a distance. A Dreg poked its nasty head out from the place it was hiding. The Exo pulled out her Minuet-42 and shot it. Headshot, she mouthed. Her ghost wiggled with excitement. She shot another Dreg in the head. She mouthed headshot again. She aimed at the last Dreg, shooting it twice in the stomach. She knew that there would be a Vandal, so she hopped off, collecting dust as she summoned her Sparrow she dubbed as "The Ride." She hopped off once she got close enough, and threw a swarm grenade in the area. They got triggered almost immediately and hit the Vandal, instantaneously killing it. She picked up a treasure chest that Cayde-6 stashed earlier, while getting a patrol done.

"Kit-17, haha! You're doing great. A few more patrols and you will earn some rep points. I have a few shaders that will look lovely on you." -Devrim's voice sputtered out of Kit-17's Ghost, Kyne.

"He is starting to annoy me."-Kyne mumbled.

Kit smiled and nodded, pressing her Ghost's eye, summoning her ship. She waited for it to come pick her up when she noticed a strange glow in the distance. She walked slowly towards it, avoiding conflict with any unlucky Red Legion that was still lingering around. She got to it and she recognized it immediately. A moon rock, she thought. Kyne scanned it and was baffled.

"I-It's a moon rock! But I thought that the moon.. We have to get this back to Zavala." -He said. Kit nodded and ran back to where her ship was called at. She then flew her way back to the tower, her and the Ghost sat in silence the whole way.

~A warp drive later~

Kit-17 got off the ship, running to Zavala, who was standing at his spot, looking over the city and at the Traveler. He seemed to be in a dream of some sort, because he didn't notice Kit-17 until her Ghost said his name.

"Ah, my favorite guardian. Any news?" He smiled half-heartedly. Something must have been on his mind.

"Zavala, we were out doing a few things on the EDZ and we found this.. A moon shard."-Kyne said, his eye showing the surprised expression.

"Interesting.." his face hardened then he turned to his Ghost, "let Amara know that we need her." The Ghost nodded and Zavala smiled. "Thank you Kit-17, I will update you on how things are."

Kit-17 smiled and began walking to the hangar to give Cayde-6 back the stuff from his chests. Everyone at the tower waved to her, bringing up the Red War and Ghaul. Some new Guardians ran around, playing with the balls that were hidden around the tower. One found the Traveler ball. Kit-17 casually sped up to avoid the herd. She learned her lesson last time. She shuddered mentally and made it to the hall. Kyne's voice would phase in and out of her head as he kept talking, but Kit-17 wasn't paying much attention. She made her way to Cayde-6, who was leaning against the Hangar ship repair, across from the Dead Orbit faction, that was under the Future War Cult hallway.

"Guardian! Not causing too much trouble?" He laughed. Kit-17 rolled her eyes and gave Cayde-6 back his odds and ends.

"Ah, yes. I forgot I hid those," he laughed.

"But you gave us those maps.."-Kyne said, confused.

"And speaking of, I have more. Here are some for Titan," he said, handing them to the Exo. She nodded and gave him some glimmer. She never saw him leave the tower, so she wasn't sure why he needed so much. She turned to walk away before she heard a sigh coming from behind her. She turned and stared at Cayde-6 for a moment. He finally mumbled.

"Please take me with you, this tower is so boring. I can't do anything except wait here. Ikora and Zavala get to do all the fun things."

"But.. you could be setting up patro-"

"Yeah, yeah, I know.. Look. I really don't want to be here, so if you could just sneak me out.."

"But Zavala-"

"But you're one of Zavala's favorite guardians. I'm sure you won't get any more than a smack on the wrist, plus, you can say that you were making sure I was doing my patrols.. Like a 'babysitter'."

The hopeful look in his eye almost made Kit-17 sick, but if it was to get him to shut up.. She looked at Kyne and nodded.

"Alright, but only if you take the blame."-Kyne said.

Cayde-6 nodded and jumped up a bit.

"Alright, where should we go? Io to fight the Taken, or Nessus, and we can fight those Vex! Ooh, or how about the EDZ, those Fallen can't stay there forever!!"

"Actually," Kyne said, looking at Kit-17. They both nodded, "We have another idea."
