Captian Of The Void

This isn't the Crucible

The EDZ is a big place. It's a hike away from the farm, and hides the darkest part of the known solar system.
A shard of the Traveler looms over everything. The light and dark dance under its shade.
I sent Claud my message and then he sent it out in a skycall. Calling me a heritic for using the darkness. A threat to the Tower. Slurring my "good name."
The Vanguard knows what I've done for a fact.

The Shadows know where I am.

There would be no safe way for me to tell if I was over or under prepared. I waited at the only entrance to the forest and watched as a handful of gaurdians came from the drop zone.

They pointed at me and blew a whistle.

A horde of guardians appeared, some I had seen in the tower and a few out on patrol.

You're going to kill them all.

"This isnt the crucible, if you want to now is your time! This is a dark zone full of Taken and Fallen! Remember that!"

My weapon feeds off death. I felt it grow hungry, as well as heavier

More, I want more.

I grabbed my rifle and walked into the forest. The entrance is a narrow path with a dark aura around it. Then into a small opening where a taken portal lies. I looked back at the horde of guardians with a small smirk. I pulled out the knife from Claud's home and threw it into the crowd. It plunged into a Hunters throat.

I boosted back into the portal and dove in. I felt the light dissipate as I left through the taken portal.

I cocked my rifle and shotgun. I hid myself and waited for the first few to come through.

As soon as they charged in, I emptied my magazine into the group, causing a mount up off corpses.
There was a pause before three Titans charged through, Sentinel shields placing a barrier between me and the portal.

I took a step back and reloaded my shotgun.
I

charged my suppressor grenade and threw it towards the three.
I ran towards them as the grenade killed their supers. I grabbed the first and used him as a shield and shot the other two.
More and more flooded in, and pushed me back. All sorts of rounds flew over my head as I leapt into cover.
I grabbed my sword and the engram from the Drifter.
A relic from the dark age, Stronghold, a set of gauntlets that gave a sword user superior protection, speed, and agility. All without consuming duration.
I gripped my Sure-Hand tightly and waited for the shadows to surrender me.

"Get out here Sage, and die like a man!" One called out as they peaked over the edge.

I jolted up and stabbed him straight through the chest.
The blade sliced through body and pierced through another.
They began to back away as I danced through the bullets. My sword absorbing most of the damage. I took one step forward under the endless rounds. I took another, feeling the void in me charge up.
Towards the left, more Rogue Shadows.
I gritted my teeth and took my next step. Their bullets still stung but I pushed forward. With in the next moment I was in front of the group and chopped through them with ease.

I headed into cover and swapped out my guantlets, putting on my Ursa Furosa pair and casting my super.
The fresh set of guardians entered the arena. They immediately began to shoot at me. Some of these bullets were tainted. Not the poison of a Thorn but a taken slug.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw five guardians standing in a firing line. All with the same handcannon, the Malfeasance.

You should have killed the Drifter when you had the chance.

It was a gun the Drifter had made to handle Taken and guardians alike. The slugs would explode when enough had plunged into the target.

These rounds had managed to pushed me back.

What was he thinking?! 15 slug like rounds in a cannon. He was hiding from something, but this was overkill.
I backed away deeper into the forest, using the shield as cover. I turned a corner as my super finally finished.
I went through my engrams and swapped my sword for an Avalanche.

I cocked the weapon as the five turned the corner. A stream following under us, a hunter charged his arc energy and sent it through the stream.

I felt it course through my body, the sting of a strider. It devoured my shield but as well as the other four. I gunned him down first, then immediately swung the machine gun towards the four. Gone.

I was out of heavy. I aimed my rifle and marched forward. Killing one immediately, reloaded the gun and activating kill clip. The overcharged round let me push them back, until I was out of ammo.

I patted my side but the sudden lost of ammo left me open. A sword came down sky.

A Crown-Splitter. A Titan.
