Lorelei, Shiro and Cyko-12 went out on a strike to help clear out their minds. Especially Lorelei who is still a little shaken up with all that has happened. They are going into a abandoned factory which has a lot of Fallen activity going on, and they are there to figure out what is going on and stop it. But as they land she can feel that something isn't right, something is off about it. It is quiet, far too quiet, like there is not a single thing in here, even though they were told that there would be a lot of Fallen forces. As they walk through the abandoned complex they notice a couple of  dead Dregs and Shanks, but nothing else. There has been clearly a battle here, some seem to have been slashed apart. Could one of those creatures be here, she hopes not.

Cyko-12: I don't like this, I don't like this one bit. I was ready for a good fight, could there have been another fireteam passing by. 

Shiro: There haven't been any that have passed here recently. Lorelei, I see you are thinking quite a lot, mind telling us what you are thinking about.

She doesn't answer, instead she looks at one Dreg that seems to have been impaled by strange silver like spikes. They remind her a little of the creature from the bar. Shiro walks up and inspects the Dregs corpse, it seems that whatever these spikes are, their energy is slowly seeping into the Dreg. 

Shiro: What do you think is this?

Lorelei: I don't know. They remind me a little of that THING that fateful day. But at the same time, these are different. They aren't exactly the same from back then.

Cyko-12: Are you saying that it could be another one of those things?

Lorelei: I hope no....

A shriek echoes through the silent factory, it feels like it clings onto their mind. It isn't a Hive Wizards shriek, this one is more creepy and ominous. It echoes at itself, it sounds empty and almost, like a cry or a wail. The fireteam tenses up, their guns at the ready, looking all around to see where the sound came from, because it almost sounded like it was all around them. Battle can be heard in the distance, followed up by large explosions. They head over there, something is going on and they will go and stop it, no matter what it is. There are a couple more explosions, the sound of a Walkers death echoes throughout the walls followed up by the expected explosion. As they get closer it is clear the the Fallen are not winning and more of those shrieks echo out. The fireteam hides behind one of the massive train carts, peering out to see what is going on. But they don't see what they are fighting against, there is way too much dust and debris. 

Cyko-12: Damn, wouldn't want to be the Fallen right now, whatever they are fighting against, they ain't winning.

From the sky something lands, the shockwave pushing the dust away and sending a couple Fallen flying into the different debris. As the fireteam peaks out they notice a creature, nothing that they ever saw. Not even close to looking at the ones they came across. These ones are thing, silverish skin, hands end in spikes. No face, just a sickly blue and green glow coming out from it.

It slashed the Fallen with ease, their bullets don't seem to be doing anything to it. They manage to stun it, when a large portal appears above it but after a short time it disappears and it goes on a rampage again. Killing the Fallen by the dozen, it is a massacre, a one sided fight.

Cyko-12: What in the fuck is that thing?

Lorelei: I have no clue, but I have a suspicion that it is somehow connected to all the strange things that have happened. 

Shiro: I don't want to agree, but I have to. It looks humanoid, yet not at the same time. It simply can't be a coincidence that this thing and all the things we saw aren't somehow connected. 

Cyko-12: Well, what are we going to do? The Fallen ain't doing shit to it.

Lorelei looks back at the thing and doesn't see it. She franticly looks around to see where it had gone but it is gone. But then a shadow obscures them and as they look up they see it, standing on the cart, looking back at them. It shrieks, a strange aura emanating from it and lunges at them. A single hit of it's claw  was enough to nearly kill Cyto, but as they returned fire a strange ball appears above it's head as it reaches with it's claws into the air. As they fire it throws the ball at them, a large explosion follows, killing them all, but thankfully their Ghosts revive them. They immediately split up, as staying in one group makes them an easy target. It slams into the ground with it's claws, sending out a aura that, when coming into contact with Shiro impales him on the same spikes that the Dregs was impaled by, killing him instantly. But once he is revived once again they figure that standing still is not the strategy with this thing, you need to keep moving. But even still, even if they run and fight, the thing is simply to powerful against them, it is move powerful in strength, speed and durability. They manage to stun it a couple times but it does nothing but buy them time. Fighting against a Tormentor is way easier than fighting this thing. They are fighting against a battle they know they can't win, and they can't run away as it will catch them. They make a run for the factory building, in the open they are easy targets, but maybe in close space they might stand a slight chance. 

Once they do finally reach the building they head inside, navigating the many corridors with the creature following them closely behind. It is capable of teleporting around and it seems that the corridors don't pose much of a challenge, well apart from the ball that seems to not be able to travel through these tight spaces as it explodes on whatever it makes contact with. But that doesn't stop IT, it just eliminates one problem. Even their Light powers feel useless against it, they feel like their powers have never been more useless than right now. After some running they manage to loose it for now. 

Cyko-12: Alright, what the fuck is that thing? What the fuck are we going to do against it, our attacks are useless.

Shiro: No matter what we do it doesn't affect it, but whatever it does, it just kills out outright. Is this how the Dregs feels fighting against us, I kind of feel sorry for them. 

Cyko-12: God dammit, I can't get it's fucking voice out of my head. The stupid song is constantly in my head.

Lorelei doesn't speak, she is too shaken up to even say anything. She feels hopeless, outmatched in every single way. Every enemy was a challenge, but they could defeat it, but this, this is not fair. Their powers don't do anything against it. 

Cyko-12: Do you guys hear it?

Lorelei: Is it coming for us?

Cyko-12: No, I can hear music, not it's song, but a familiar beat. Is that motherfucking Pumped up Kicks. 

Shiro: That old ass song?

Cyko-12: Old but gold. Who the fuck is playing it? And is that an electric guitar I am hearing. 

They could hear a faint sound of said music, but who could be playing that. What fool can play while there is such a creature roaming around. Then, the unmistakable sound of gunfire and carnage can be heard. The fireteam heads over there to investigate what is going on, as they get closer many different songs are played. Some known, some not. Some sound cool and some sound childish. As they are running towards the carnage that is happening something passes by them at such a speed that it makes them go flying in the direction it is heading in. The thing that passed by them stops and looks back at them.

But then it just continues running on, it is so fast that it is gone in a blur. As they finally reach the sound of such a commotion they see a battle that can only be described as ridiculous. The fast one is running on the walls, drawing in the attention of the creature, there is the familiar one that killed the entire bar shooting the creature with it's crossbow and then one big, steel skinned rhino looking, playing some sort of instrument and then there is a skinny, feminine looking, figure that seems to have strange glowing disks and luminescent circle like aura out of it's arms.  They seem to be the cause of this music as there is a ball rolling around and beats coming from it, same color scheme as her. 

They seem so nonchalant about this fight. I mean, two are playing music while the other play with their prey. It makes Lorelei feels so angry, frustrated, the thing that had been kicking their ass it being toyed around like it is nothing. They stun it again, from the familiar one the beautiful girl appears and from the fast guy a boy appears, can't be older than 12, they teleport into the ball as it pulses with energy. They are gone for some time until eventually they appear and teleport back into their suits of power. The creature shrieks, it seems more agitated than ever, but rather quickly, without even being able to fight back it is stunned again. And same process repeats two more times. The fireteam just watches, their mouths wide open, they can't believe what is going on. Tunes are played as they play with the creature like it is nothing. They appear one last time and shoot at it, but this time it a ball doesn't appear, instead it freezes up. It's light slowly being snuffed and until it is finally gone and it just becomes a stationary thing. Like a statue, it seemed to have dropped something underneath it. A piece of it's body that the group gladly picks up. They exchange high fives and then slowly turn their heads to face the fireteam. There is a long staredown, a deafening silence as everyone looks at each other, guardians faces concealed I tby their helmets and the creatures don't seem to really have a face of sorts. The vampiric one seems to blow a kiss at them before they head out, a massive ship coming in to pick them up. They fly off, leaving the fireteam puzzled and confused. Angry and yearning for answers. So whatever they were fighting against did have some connection to the powerful warriors that came seemingly out of nowhere. But they also seem to be connected to the strange Mimic as it started to appear when they appeared. What the hell is going on?

Shiro: What the hell did we just witness? 

Cyko-12: I have no damn clue, but whatever it is, I don't like it. They made it looks so easy, that thing that could probably take on a couple dozen Guardians defeated by technically speaking two strange warriors who seem not to have cared and weren't taking the fight serious. 

Lorelei: They are on a another level of power, can we even compare to them. I feel so useless, so powerless, it is as if they are mocking us.

Shiro: Oh come on, don't be sad. At least we aren't fighting against them, which is a good thing I guess. Let us head back to the Tower and report everything. I think that they would be interested in what we saw.

Lorelei nods and their ships come in to pick them up. They head to the Last City, Lorelei mind constantly reeling back to the fight. And that blowing of a kiss, it was directed at her. Why? She touches the spot on her cheek where she was kissed. What does this all mean?
