(THE HUNT FOR SKOLAS DAY 1)

(Tengfei's Personal Jumpship, On route to Venus)




" Okay, Teng, just remember what Petra and Variks told you," a mechanical female voice told him. Mulan (his newly named Ghost) had been his mechanical companion ever since he woke up in the Vestian Outpost. She had been teaching her new owner many things about this universe. Subjects such as the Traveller, Guardians and even the three different human races: Human, Exo and Awoken.

He even learned to communicate in Chinese, something Tengfei got interested in really quickly. Luckily he was a fast learner, he was able to pick up on Guardian fighting techniques and other important stuff for missions..

Maneuvering the ship, the Kree Inhuman's medium length hair touched his shoulders as he was wearing a Warlock robe from the Queen's own guard itself. Tengfei sat in the cockpit of his jumpship as Mulan floated around him.

" Yes, Mulan, " he nodded and confidently smiled. "You've really helped in training to be a Warlock. I'm ready for it. "

" So what did they tell you? "

" Same as the Queen told me. I'm to start pursuing Skolas and the House of Wolves immediately. I'm to take Skolas alive but the rest of his House die if they get in the way. That's what Prince Uldren said specifically. "

" Good! " she beamed. " Now, Man of Kree don't let your head explode. "

" My head explode?! " Tengfei repeated the Ghost's words.

" Petra will worry for you! " she exclaimed when the Kree Voidwalker blushed his face purple. Mulan intently looked at him. Suddenly, a communication signal was received. " Speaking of an angel, it's her! "

" Okay, I'll patch her in, " he said. " Tengfei, here. "

" Teng, I can't wait to work with you! " Petra responded. " Been a long time since I was on the field-even if it's just on the comms. The Wolves are led by Skolas, the last of their Kells. He wants control of another Fallen House, the House of Winter. He'll kill their leaders and take command of their troops. With your help, we'll stop him cold."

" As in Draksis' House!? Sorry to say but I killed him, so Skolas could be doing that as we speak! I'm heading there now. " he nodded and ended the call.

" Baochi! (Keep it up!) " Mulan cheered him.

" Wǒ huì. Wǒ kěyǐ zuò zhège! (I will. I can do this!) "

(ASH COVES, ISHTAR SINK, VENUS)

Tengfei's ship landed near where the Wolves were operating. The clear golden Venusian daylight sky was easily noticed by the Kree and his Ghost. It was also noticeable that he had landed in some sort of canyon, being surrounded by tall rock walls around him except for forward. Suddenly, he received a call from Petra, Mulan immediately looked at him.

" Zhè shì láizì nǐ de àirén, Téngfēi! (It's from your sweetheart, Tengfei!) " she teased.

" Shénme?! Shéi?! (What?! Who?!) " he raised his voice in his helmet and patched in.

" It's her, silly! "

" Your Ghost Mulan is feeding me telemetry. I see what she sees. Why not take one of those Heavy Pikes for a spin? " Petra suggested. Tengfei saw a parked blue vehicle which Petra referred to as the Heavy Pike. He boarded it and continued forward. " Those Heavy Pikes come standard with mines...not sure how to deploy them, though.
