I Am More Than Just My Light

Chapter 4: A New Home

A/N: Hello Everyone! Enjoy!

You woke up in the tree you camped in the night before. It was early morning maybe around 6-7 am. 'Luckily no enemies found me' You thought as you climbed out of the tree and went back to the ground. You felt stronger than before. "Hey Atlas did you finally fully heal me?" You asked your companion. He appeared out of thin air and said, "Yes because finally slept for once in your immortal life."

"Well hey I didn't to be brought back from the dead to be an immortal defender of humanity." You said

"Eh true" He replied vanishing into nothingness. You began to run towards the Traveler to meet up with Zavala you were still a good distance away, but you could actually run now so it didn't feel that long of a run.

[Timeskip cuz Author is being lazy, sue me and no not literally] 

You finally made it to the the camp they made within the 2 months you were gone. It looked just like the Farm back on Earth. You finally began to see familiar faces. Hawthrone, Zavala, Ikora, Cayde (This is written before Forsaken btw), Asher, Slone, Lord Shaxx, Ana Bray, Devirm, the Cryptarchs, and several androids. It seems that everyone who was in the solar system was here. But Shawn and Carry weren't here.... 

You walked up to Zavala. He said "Ah Guardian you made it! We were beginning to worry."

You ignored his statement and said "Where is my fireteam?"

He looked uneasy as you said that. You began to think he didn't have an answer to it. And you were right. He didn't.

"We're..." He looked back to his own fireteam of Cayde and Ikora then back to you, "not sure..."

Expecting this response, you hung your head down. Tears began to form in your eyes but you quickly wiped them away. "Okay" you said still depressed. 

The others take notice to your sadness and attempted to get close, but then decided against it. You needed this time for a moment. 

Then Cayde spoke up "However, we did find out where they are going"

Relief began to come on to your face. "Where?!" You exclaimed, stepping forward. 

"A place called Beacon" Ikora said, "Then to a place called Atlas."

You began to collect yourself and your things and prepared to head out, but Zavala stopped you. "Guardian do you even know where you are going?"

You stopped and turned around head down a tad embarrassed, "No..."

"Well buddy we're gonna need a plan" Cayde said "And I think I got one." A smile formed on his face. 

[Plan Discussion]

You were in a run down shack with Cayde's scouting reports on the table in the center of the room. 

"Sooooo, you want me to pose as a student to gain entrance to Beacon which is a school for supernatural warriors and when I say supernatural, I mean, they have a special abilities, much more creative weapons, a natural formed shield called Aura, new types of bullets, and they can do all of this without Light?" You summarized from Cayde's scouting report.

"In a nutshell, yes that was a good summary." Cayde said.

"This is totally crazy...." You said putting your hand up to your face. 

"Agreed" Zavala said.

"Well, it is a gamble, but think about it, if we are able to pull this off. We can get intel about everything else here including your fireteam." 

"It's high risk with a high reward." You contemplated the decision. "Well I wouldn't be a hunter if didn't take such a bet. Let's do it."

"Okay" Cayde said "To make this more believable, No Ghosts can pop out, none of your current armor or weapons. We're gonna have to change things up a bit." 

He then walked away and then came back with a weapon case. "An old friend of ours wanted to give something to you." He popped it open and it was a hand cannon. Not just any hand cannon however. It was the Last Word. You were hesitant to pick up such a legendary exotic weapon. "He said it's yours." Said Cayde, then pushed the case towards you a bit more. 

You picked it up. The grip felt comfortable and used. How many times was this weapon drawn? The design was clean. Not a single scratch or piece of dirt on it. 

"He said to put it to good use and take care of it." Said Cayde

You were still speechless at the fact that you were holding the Last Word. You said "This is unbelievable." 

Cayde laughed "Yeah, but I think he knows that you'll do good with that weapon."

"I'll use it the best I can." You said.

"We're going to have you go in with two other guardians." Zavala said. 

"What?" You said, you began to object, but he continued.

"You weren't the only one who lost someone." He said, "They lost their Warlock team lead. We decided it would be best if you went together."

You sighed, "Alright."

"I know that some of us are loners, but you know the difference that a fireteam makes." Cayde said. You grunted, knowing that he was right. 

"Alright where are they?" You asked.

Zavala moved to the side to introduce them, "This is Dakota," It was a female hunter. You could feel her strength, but at the same time it felt weaken. "And this is Stroy" He pointed to a male titan. You could also feel his strength. They were on par with yours. That means they are very powerful. 

"Now with introductions out of the way." Ikora said, as you all looked at her. "Get ready for your mission."
