I had rewatched old crucible matches for a few days straight. I locked myself away in the holodecks. Reviewing as many matching with shadows as possible. I even saw Cables original Guardian, March, A warlock with a love for Arc energy.
From what Cable had told me, March was shot by a thorn replica. The Shadow hit her arm. She didn't take that kindly.
I found the match and decided to watch it.
March flew through the battlefield, like an eagle. Cable seemed happy watching the videos, calling out plays before they happened and even floating with the hologram every so often.
I chuckled and watched her, it was refreshing seeing her happy.
Then I saw something that made my stomach turn. Kaiser was the shadow that had shot March.
He was killing guardians in the Crucible.

I tapped Cable and stood up immediately "We have to go."

"Why?" She asks following me out and disappeared

"Kaiser's a shadow." I growled and put my helmet on

As soon as we entered the Main hall, we went up into orbit and off to an on-going Gambit match.
The drifter watched from his ship as I flew above the match. I transmatted down to the ground and gripped a thrall by its head and crushed it. "Kaiser!" I yelled and punched my ways through the court yard.

The Warlock aimed his sniper at me and took a shot. The bullet grazed my helmet.
There he is.
I glared at him and jolted towards him. Using my lift to strafe his shots.
He is scared, do you feel it?
He backed up behind the trees and switched to his primary. I casted my shield and absorbed the bullets. He even used a rocket on me, only for it to be melted my the void.
My super ended as he ran out of ammo.

He raised his hand up and sent out a nova bomb in a final attempt.

I raise my hand and casted my super again.
Time felt like it slowed down, I pushed my shield forward and pushed the Nova Bomb aside. I grab the man and pinned him to the tree.
"You and me are going to have a long conversation." I growled and wrapped my hands around his neck
Break his neck.
"H-H-How did you do that?!" He shook in fear
This guardian wishes to live.
I headbutted him, cracking his helmet. Through the cracked glass I saw his eyes.
Like Esher's
I did it again, knocking out the man.
I dragged him out of the emerald coast and into a dark corner of the EDZ.
Where no Fallen, Cabal, or even Taken would venture.
I aimed my shotgun near his knee and tapped it with the barrel.
"Wake up." I spoke softly and pulled the trigger, splitting his leg in two

He yelled in agony and his light healed him immediately.

I glared at him, aimed the gun to his other knee "I have 29 more shells," I pulled the trigger again "so let's start with the obvious question, how did you become a dregden?"

"Fuck you!" He barked while healing and ripping off his helmet

"I have about 18?" I paused and checked my rifle, "Yeah 18 magazines for my rifle, those have 33 bullets each." I smiled gently from under the helmet

"You don't scare me! You're just a wannabe Shin Malphur!" He chuckled and slowly stood up

"That's the thing, Kiaser. I'm not doing this for any other reason than to protect my friends and my family" I reply softly and shot out his legs again "Shinn from what I've heard, would just kill you. I going to make you wish you were dead."

"That fucking hurts!" He cried out

"Answer my question and I'll stop blowing out your knees"
Liar
"I'm not running with them anymore.... I did yeah, but not anymore!" He pleaded
He is a liar too
"Let's say I believe you," I push the barrel into his chest "which I don't. What is stopping you from going, getting a Thorn, and coming for me?" I asked gently and pull the trigger

The red mist landed on my armor, changing the color.

He respawned laughing and coughing "yo-you look like like-a a fucking animal"

"Let's see how wild I can get," I removed my helmet and held a small grin "because I'm going to be honest with you, I'm not all sane and I really need to work through this" I held his head then rammed mine into his, cracking his open.

When he respawned he charged at me and clawed at me. I grabbed him by the neck and slammed him into the grow.

"You-know, I'm happy you're fighting back, this wasn't going to be fun other wise." I grinned grabbing my sword and stabbing it into his shoulder

"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to rip your ghost apart and kill you! Then that stupid hunter of yours is going to get some!" He cried out beginning to laugh.

He threatened her. Take his ghost

I slowly twisted the blade before pulling it out. I glared at him silently

"Oh what got nothing to say about your precious little bitch!?" he laughed and grinned

I stepped on his arm and stabbed into his hand, taking off 3 fingers. I lifted the blade and stabbed his arm, removing it.

"That's my wife." I whispered and punched him in the chest.

He began to cough blood.

"She wouldn't give you the chance to hurt her." I continued to whisper. I pulled out the sword and pushed my thumb into the wound. "She would gun you down like a Dreg."

He yelled in agony and cried out for help.
He cried out but with every resurrection his voice grew more distant. All I could hear was the soft melody of a forgot song.

Bliss

I cut him into pieces.
Turned his bodies into nothing but blood and meat. I removed a vonesor two when it was exposed.

For the next few hours I learned as much as I could from Kiaser. He was more than willing after the first hour.

"The Thorn... it would talk to some of us.... I heard it once. It said I would be mauled by a bear.... a bear that would rip and tear." he shook violently and looked up to me, his green eyes stared into oblivion. "You're that bear arent you? You were sent by the light to use the darkness...." he began to mumble gibberish.

I glared at him and cock my shotgun. The last shell. I changed the energy to void and aimed it at his head. His ghost finally appeared
"He won't come back after this.... I know he isnt a good Guardian but I think he-"

I pulled the trigger and the ghost stayed silent.

"He didn't hesitated killing Guardians in the crucible so why should I spare him?"

The ghosts red eye stared at the fresh corpse and seemed to pause in space.

"Say anything about today and I'll give you to The Spider to play with."

I transmatted away from the location and clean my armor and weapons once in orbit.

He called you, The bear.

I like that.
