II
Zavala is looking through the report that the fireteam had sent him, not believing what he is reading. A Cabal ship, wiped out by a single being that made short work out of all of them. Cutting a Cabal in half is almost unheard of, so much force is required for that, maybe in a lot of attempts but a single clean cut is unbelievable. And the way they described the being, something that even the wildest childish imagination wouldn't come to create. But, he wouldn't believe it if it was some normal Guardian, but these are trusted people, always found in strange situations. But this, this wasn't a strange situation, this was a unimaginable one. Using water as a weapon, dissolving into a puddle or summoning tentacles out of nowhere. Surviving multiple bullets, a Golden Gun hit to the head and not dying. Whatever this creature is, it's power is fear inducing. Where did it come from? Is it a creation of the Darkness, another abomination of it, but why would it attack the Shadow Legion. It just doesn't make sense. His thoughts are interrupted as Osiris comes walking into his office. He called him, maybe, just maybe he knows something about what the fireteam faced.
Zavala: Hello Osiris, I presume you read through the report.
Osiris takes a seat, a long silence insures as he looks around Zavala's office. But he isn't saying anything, just looking around. But finally he speaks, but there is something off with his voice.
Osiris: I have, a fascinating creature they come across. A dangerous one at that. I am surprised they came out alive.
Zavala: Well, it seems it doesn't know what a Guardian is since it didn't shoot the Ghost. Are you okay Osiris, why are you staring down at the floor.
Suddenly there is a knock on the door and as it opens, Osiris walk in. Osiris? But he just got in here. Osiris freezes up as he sees himself sitting on the chair.
Osiris: Who is that Zavala?
Zavala look at the one sitting down and immediately grabs his gun and points at it. It tilts it's head to the side, still looking at the floor, but he can see a smile on it's face, a creepy unnatural smile.
Zavala: Identify yourself!
Osiris: Vome Lohk Jahu Khra Fass
It looks up, the smile, those eyes send shivers down his spine. It gets up from the chair and as it approaches him, still smiling, he is frozen in fear and when it is only a feet away from him it disappears. He gasps and pants, it felt like his life was being snuffed out by whatever that thing was.
Osiris: Are you alright Zavala?!
Osiris rushes to Zavala.
Zavala: I am... I am fine. What was that thing?
Osiris: I am as confused as you. Those words that it said, I had never heard of them.
Zavala: Neither do I. It mimicked you to the last minute detail, apart from those eyes. I felt like it was trying to kill me with it's existence. We need to report this to everyone.
Osiris: No. If we report it to everyone it would cause a widespread panic. You know that some folks are already on edge.
Zavala: *Sigh* You are right. Well, tell it to everyone we trust and radio in Mara Sov. I need to go and clear my head.
With Lorelei and her fireteam
They were sitting at a bar, drinking profusely to help clear their heads. Lorelei is constantly reminded of how helpless she was when it bound her, if it was pure evil it would have done something to her. But it just gently moved it's fingers across her face, the touch felt so alien but also familiar. Gentle, which felt weird, but somehow nice. How touch depraved is she, she takes another shot.
Shiro: Go easy on the drinks Lorelei. We are in the same boat.
Lorelei: I know. I am not drinking because of that. The way it touched me, I don't know. I kind of liked it.
Shiro chokes on the drink he is drinking, coughing, he didn't expect her to say such a thing.
Shiro: Wh *cough* What the h *cough* hell? Are you serious? *cough*
Lorelei: I seriously need help.
Shiro: I can't agree more with you. Where is Cyko?
Lorelei: Oh, he is over there, flirting with the barmaid. I think he had a bit to much to drink already.
Shiro: Well at least he is doing something. Unlike you. If you don't start trying you are going to stay a maiden forever.
Lorelei blushes, but can't help but agree with his words. Even him, the biggest goofball she knows got himself a partner.
Lorelei: I am just waiting for a special one.
Shiro: Yeah yeah. You just keep on waiting, waiting until a angel falls from the sky and picks you up. Girl, decades will pass if you don't do anything.
She looks down at the glass in her hand, swirling the drink in it. She hates that he is right so she gulps down the entire drink.
Lorelei: I'll do it.
Shiro: Hell yeah, you go girl.
She starts to look around, seeing who doesn't look bad. She isn't seeing anyone that fancies her interests, she has really high standards which might be the reason on why she is still single. At that moment a figure walks in, a human female. As beautiful as the night sky, dressed in robes of black and white. With golden accents on it.
(Artist lotushim554)
Black hair as a ravens feather, her gaze piercing, complimented with her beautiful golden eyes. She carries herself with pride, back straight, like a noble of some unknown kingdom. A goddess of beauty in front of them. Nobody saying anything as she passes by people until eventually coming up to the bar and ordering herself a beverage. Her voice, as soothing as the Travelers light causes Lorelei's heart to skip a beat. Her cheeks flush, completely mesmerized by this girls beauty.
But soon her beauty attracts the wrong kind of attention, some Guardians surround her, one puts his hand on her shoulder, clearly hitting on her.
Girl: I am not interested in any of you.
Guardian: Oh come on baby girl. Come with us, we will show you fun time.
His pals giggle like little children. Lorelei get's mad and starts heading over to kick their asses.
Girl: I am warning you. Back off fuckhead.
Guardian: Oh, a feisty tongue on this one.
Lorelei: Guys! Leave her the fuck alone!
The guys turn around, grinning at her. She is disgusted by their stares. She clenches her fists, ready to beat the shit out of them.
Guardian: Or what? You are outnumbered hunter. Better fuck off, or we will teach you a lesson. But now that I look at you, you aren't half bad yourself.
As he begins to turn around he is blasted across the room with strange energy. He slams against the wall and everyone turns to the person who did it. It is the girl, standing up, she seems angry. Her hand illuminated by some sort of strange energy. It doesn't look like it is the light.
Girl: All I wanted... is a damn drink.
Guardian pal: You bitch. Get her guys.
As they go and grab her she teleports across the room, leaving everyone baffled as to what happened. Eyes darting towards her, a long silence is once more prevalent. Confused on how she did it, so quick. Who is this girl? She then disappears again, but instead of her there is a tall, feminine creature standing there. Sharp claws going up it's arms. Holding a strange crossbow, so complex in detail.
Everyone stands there, not moving a muscle. Where did this creature come from and where did the girl disappear of to. The creature looks down on the Guardian the girl blasted, on the ground, froze up when it stared at him. It starts to slowly walk towards him, people exchanging glances, unsure of what to do. It aims it crossbow and fires a single bolt, impaling his leg to the ground. He manages to grab the bolt and pull it out of his leg.
Guardian: What the fuck are you?
He grabs his shotgun, blasting a single shot into it, but it doesn't seem to care. It spins around, doing a twirl and a scream follows. The guy got impaled by multiple knives that appeared out of the ground. His screams echo through the silent bar, screams of pure agony and begging. Blood trickly down the blades and it starts to float up. Gathering in the creatures hand into a ball of pure blood. As he bleeds out more and more, the ball grows larger, he is constantly being healed but only for his pain to continue. The others snap out of it and some even start shooting at this being, it paying no attention to it. It throws the orb of blood at one group that is shooting at her, killing them in an instant. The creature floats up in the air, pulling her arms to herself and quickly a lot of what looks like her arm blades shoot out into the room, almost instantly killing everyone, those that survived the first attack soon die out from bleeding. Their ghosts flying up in the air. Sadly, some civilians seemed to die. The creature looks at Lorelei, causing her to freeze up, the same feeling she had when she encountered the one last time. It slowly walks up to her, until it stops right in front of her. With it's hand it lifts her chin up to look straight into it's eyeless face. Suddenly the girl appears again, appearing out of thin air. She walks to her side, rising herself to plant a kiss on Lorelei's cheek. The girl smiles.
Girl: Thank you for trying. I hate assholes like them.
And with that the girl, once more disappears and the creature turns around and heads for the exit. Once it left everyone who can, revives themselves and Lorelei rushes out to chase after whatever that thing was. As she exits the bar she sees the creature already on top of a building. How did it get up there already? There is no way she can climb up there. And then, she sees it, the same style of ship, but different colors, float down, picking up the creature and flying away. How? Could that thing yesterday and now be connected somehow? But what about the girl then. What roll does she play in all of this.
Shiro and Cyko run out and see Lorelei looking up at the sky.
Cyko-12: Where did it go?
She points up at the sky. This confuses the other two.
Shiro: In the sky, what about it?
Lorelei: You know the thing from yesterday.
Shiro: Yeah? What about it?
Lorelei: It was the same style of the ship that appeared.
Cyko-12: Are you saying that they might somehow be connected.
Lorelei nods. But this only poses more questions. How? What are these things and where did they come from.
Shiro: Do you think the girl is somehow connected to them?
Lorelei: I am certain. After the thing killed you, the creature walked over to me and she appeared out of the thin air.
Shiro: Did she do anything?
Lorelei: She kissed me on the cheek and thanked me for trying.
Shiro is taken aback by this. Well that confirms that she is connected to the creatures. But he can't help but grin.
Shiro: And did you heart skip a beat when she kissed you?
Lorelei: Oh please shut up. Can we not?
Shiro: I am sorry but I had to. I know I would have folded when she would have kissed me.
Cyko-12: We need to report this immediately. Especially the strength of it. That much power is worrisome.
Shiro: Taking out a couple dozen Guardians in a short time without breaking a sweat. Now that, that is really worrying. Even the strong Hive commanders suffer to take out six of us, so a room full is power that can't be trifled with.
Lorelei: What the hell are we dealing with?
She looks up at the sky. Whatever these things are, she is going to find out about them. She caresses her cheek where the girl kissed her. A involuntary smile spreads across her face. It felt nice, her heart was beating not only from fear but excitement. She smacks herself hard which causes the other two to flinch and look at her strangely.
