DESTINY

This is a story about a veteran guardian of who's trust has been broken but still he does not bow down to the ground even though his back is bleeding with the blood of trust

Episode 1: Dawn

It's the fourth of July in year 5500. The clock is approximately 02.30. The entire crew has been shot down by Fallen, turns out it was their territory. Their forces was unbelievably strong, they had something like 10 Captains, all gathered up as a wall, walking in front of two Anchors. Most of the enemy forces was standing of Dregs and Vandals but it was still tough though. We could use some back up because they keep sending their small troop ships out and they keep bringing more. Please help! K-6 out!

Cayde-6: Don't tell me you're still thinking about what happened man!

K-6: Seriously, how couldn't I?! The Fallen torr my squad to pieces, I was lucky enough to survive such an attack!

Cayde-6: Dude, up with the mood alright. We'll get you a new squad, you're the best guardian we have, we need you.

K-6: I'm staying, don't worry about that, but I'm going on a mission.

Cayde-6: A mission? To where?

K-6: To the Fallen ship, I'm once and for all going to destroy their entire fleet as much as possible, trust me, AND I'm going alone!

Cayde-6: Alright, I'll hook you up with a jump ship, I'll put in the coordinates.

Ghost: Don't you think this might be dumb? Maybe we should just wait until something else pops up, remember, the Fallen has a formidable force...

K-6: I know what I am doing, you can either join me or leave me and become a ghost for someone else.

Ghost: Hell no! I'm by your side, and I'm staying there. So, the plan?

We left the room of guardians and went to the hangar bay to enter our star ship, which has been set up by Cayde-6. We’re headed to earth, to enter the Cosmo drome. We're going to finish the Fallen, take them completely out, destroy all their forces and make sure that they're not rising again.

Episode 2: Sky watch

When we arrive to the Cosmo drome, everything goes smooth in the start. We only met a couple of dregs and some vandals, nothing out of the ordinary. We continue onto the way to the sky watch where we meet a captain and two vandals at the entrance, again, nothing out of the ordinary but the second we get inside, we find this door which has been sealed with a Fallen seal. My ghost cracks it open and we enter, everything looks so weird, but as soon as we enter this huge room we find thrallen, turns out we stumbled upon the Hive. Huge monsters, nobody knows where they originate from though, but well, we continue, letting the sleeping thralls continue sleeping until we enter the hangar bay from the sky watch, we find the main computer and look at the entire underground system of the area. The second we have the plans, fallen starts to rumble in. My ghost calls our star ship, but I tell him to put it in defence mode, I'll take care of the Fallen, just make sure they don't get the plans, that was the order. I run out to look at the ships but they look different. Spikier, instead of the normal ship, they have spikes, more armour, they are stronger and cooler, got to give them that. The first ship drops off some dregs, but not the normal kind. Instead of flesh and meat, they're build with robot legs, and armour all over the body. I take out a few, until the ship starts to fire at me and another ship trashed off some vandals and a few captains. I begin to get angry. I charge out, grab my bazooka and fire off. They're blowing in pieces, every single one of them that gets close, either gets a void punch or a void grenade. Then, out of a portal spawned out of nowhere, an ogre walks.

Ogres: Assigned to the Hive. Normally put to the use of massive destruction of guarding of valuable items. Around 3 meters tall and thickness of 2 meters. They're able to shoot giant laser balls of void damage out of their eye socket.

It suddenly begins to fire at the Fallen. They turn around only to turn back around and begin to run straight towards me, not to attack me, but to flee.

The ogre spots me and begins to fire a focused line of fire towards me. I place a void shield to stop it from damaging me, letting my ghost have a chance to analyse the ogre. Turns out it's stronger than normal, it's enchanted with taken power. The power which is wielded by the taken king Oryx. King of the Hive, father of Crota, the prince of darkness. Just as my shield goes down, the ogre stops firing. Suddenly the Dreadnaught arrives. Flying slowly and low over the Cosmo drome. My ghost teleports me into the star ship and flies away from the Dreadnaught. The Dreadnaught's cannon charges up and shoots, not after us but out into the air. I thought Oryx never missed, and it turns out I was right, he had apparently seen that the Fallen ships would escort the Ravenger.

Dreadnaught: A huge warship belonging to the Hive/Taken. Leader/captain of the ship is the taken king Oryx. Reputation has it that he never misses when shooting with the Andromeda.

Ravenger: A huge warship belonging to the Fallen. The leader/captain of the ship is the ravenger anchorn Theraks. It has a shield which is more resistant than five Jupiter in a line.

As we fly away in our star ship, we watch the Ravenger burst into pieces and crashes onto the planet’s surface, only to burst through and destroy half the Cosmo drome. We continue to fly back to the Tower. To talk to the Speaker

The Tower: The tower is the last city belonging to earth. It was build when everything else on earth got over ruled by Fallen.

The Speaker: A man who knows more than he seems to know, and a guy who might be hiding more under the mask than he is willing to show to the public.

Episode 3: The meeting.

Our jump ship is getting repaired in the hanger bay, while my ghost and I, are walking around. As we get out of the hangar area, there seems to be an ongoing trading market in the middle of it all. I try to sneak past all the citizens and other guardians participating, while my ghost seems to rush over to all the other ghost shells, just to ask me if I could buy him a new shell. Another reason why I haven't found a girl to get a family with, I have enough with a ghost.

Ghost: Master... Can we buy this? Please!!!!

K-6: Ain't no way we're wasting glimmer on something like that, besides your current shell is way better, stronger and faster working.

Ghost: Still, this one looks so awesome!

K-6: You're not getting it, now come on, we got to go see Zavala.

Zavala: The main guardian of the Tower. Stronger than most, this Titan is the perfect leader of a civilization. Along with his two other guardians. Ikora and Cayde-6, he protects the Tower from any thread that comes within its reach.

Ghost: Please master!! What about this one then? This is better!

K-6: Yeah, that might be, but that one also costs around 50k glimmer, which is something neither YOU or I have. Besides, it's a corrupted one, actually good looking.

As I begin to focus on the shell, which is looking so corrupted. It's looking like something made from Hive material, but with taken power, flowing through it.

I look up, only to see Eres, standing all in my face, smiling like some third war idiot. I know if I walk away I'll dishonour another guardian, but I really don't have enough glimmer to buy it.

Eres: I see your ghost is all about it...

K-6: Yeah but we can't afford it.

Eres: That's alright, you get it for free. It's for defeating Crota.

K-6: So, because I "defeated" some big time prince of darkness who took out your squad, I get this shell for free?

Eres: Yeah, looks like to me. Do you mind?

I look at my ghost, only to see that he is already ready to get transferred, into the Hive shell.

Ghost: I'm ready to get transferred.

K-6: Alright, but that's the ONLY thing we get on this market, we really need to go.

Ghost: Yup.

As my ghost gets transferred into the other shell, he yells out a giant "weeee". Both me and Eres begins to laugh a little.

Ghost: How do I look?

K-6: Extraordinary, now come on. Thanks for the shell Eres.

Ghost: Yeah, thanks for it.

Eres: Have a lovely day guardian and ghost.

As we continue towards Zavala, we see Cayde-6 and Ikora, standing and shopping with some other guardians. We walk over and ask them about Zavala, only to see him "dying" in Speeders.

Speeders: A mount which can be conjured and used at any surfaces all over the galaxy.

K-6: Zavala?

Zavala: Yeah? What do you want guardian?

K-6: Mission? You know, the big bang in the Cosmo drome, the Ravenger’s destruction? The f*****g Dreadnaught, THIS CLOSE TO EARTH! OF ALL PEOPLE, YOU SHOULD BE THE ONE WHO IS MOST WORRIED! SO WHY IN THE F*****G WORLD ARE YOU DYING OVER SPEEDERS!?

Zavala: Geez, calm down guardian, what got so much on your nerves?

K-6: Maybe the fact that I'm the only one who seems to have noticed that the Dreadnaught is in the atmosphere of earth, taking over the god d****t planet! Maybe the fact that I'm the one who's been fighting almost every god d****t boss in the whole universe! I'm the one who's taken out the Cabal bosses! The Vex! The Fallen! AND I've also taken out f*****g the Taken King, partly, he's now more powerful than ever but still!

Zavala: I see your point, but ain't nobody worried about anything.

As I'm about to yell a little more at Zavala, the Taken shows up at the market place. Two knights, four acolytes and a single mini ogre.

Zavala quickly gets his a*s out of the speeders and runs over to the knights only to say something he shouldn't have.

Zavala: What are you doing here? You could take over earth, nothing more! The Tower was the only place you couldn't come, we agreed on that!

Reg, the knight commander: We're not here to take over the Tower, we're here to shop, this is a market place, isn't it?

Ranault, the taken commander: We'll not destroy anything, do anything bad or something like that, we swear on the dreadnaught, we're only here to take a look at what you all be selling.

Zavala: Alright, then emh have fun I guess.

Everyone, especially, Ikora and Cayde-6, are standing with their faces cold. Shocked over what Zavala said. Everyone is standing still until I yell out, that everybody should get back to their business and celebrate the market. I walk over to talk to the Hives that have arrived while Zavala is dragged away by Ikora and Cayde-6.

K-6: Hello, emh I don't know how to say this in a pretty way but I'm a bit curious...

Reg, the knight commander: Ask forward guardian, I'm willing to answer all your curiosity away.

K-6: Okai, well, how come you're willing to make a truce with earth? Like we've been in war for the universe since, I don't know.

Reg, the knight commander: Well both earth and the Hive, have had big problems with the Fallen. So, we thought, we don't need to be besties, but that we were an alliance, would be the best for both sides. So, don't worry, we'll not go against your rules in the Tower, and we'll not try on anything.

K-6: Nice but another question. What are the overall things both you and we have gained from this truce?

Reg, the knight commander: Well 1st off, we've both gained one ally more than before, and we've both lost an enemy. We've also opened up trade pots around the Cosmo drome.

K-6: But about earth?

Reg, the knight commander: Well earth, is a shared part for both sides. You weren't enough guardians to go in a drive away the Fallen, so we located the Ravenger and flew in, just in time to attack the ship as it would appear before the Cosmo drome.

K-6: Alright, well have fun then I got to go, so see ya

Reg, the knight commander: See you later guardian, hope we'll once get to fight the same battle by the side of each other.

I walk away from the Hive squad and continue to the hangar only to get stopped by Cayde-6, who asks me to come to the Hall of Guardians. While following Cayde-6, I notice that my ghost has made friends. The Hive, they have bought ghost shells and filled them with Taken souls. I wanted to call on him but I just left him with them, he seemed happy. We enter the building and the first thing I see when I enter is Zavala, surrounded by Ikora. I suddenly see the Fallen come out from the shadows behind him. I throw my revolver in my hand and shoot both Vandals in the heads but right before the bullets hit, Ikora puts up a forcefield to protect them.

Ikora: Guardian! They're on our side! They're rom the Reef! Send here by the command of the Queen.

The Reef: A black-market industry in the outer space. This place is led by the Queen, who has taken the command of several Fallen troops.

The Queen: An Awoken, who transacted a deal with several Fallen troops and made the House of Devils, within the gasp of the Reef.

K-6: Seriously, Fallen! On our side?! I don't believe this s**t anymore! I'm out! Find another guardian to fight for your f*****g place!

I threw my guns at the table, along with my helmet, then I left the hall. As I got outside, I called on my ghost.

Ghost: What's wrong K? You look upset?

K-6: Apparently, we're also working together with the Fallen, or at least the Queen is working together with the Fallen.

The two knights walk over to my ghost and I. their big hive arms push aside anyone standing within 20cm from them.

Reg, the knight commander: What's going on guardian? You look rather, disturbed?

Ranault, the taken commander: What is troubling our little friend here?

K-6: Well, we're on the same side as you, which I found surprising, but even more that we're also working together with the Fallen, or the Queen is but yeah you know. I'm done working for these fools, I'm ditching.

Ranault, the taken commander: You know what? we could use a new fighter on our side, what ya say about that?

Reg, the knight commander: Yeah, come along, we'll be happy to take you in. We'll quit the deal with Zavala and take you in. Then we just take over earth completely?

K-6: Sounds nice, though I have one question.

Reg, the knight commander: Ask forward.

K-6: Is there by any chance, I can get my gear upgraded like to infinity power?

Ranault, the taken commander: I'll talk to our smiths about that.

k-6: So, ghost, the last vote we need is yours, watcha say? Join YOUR friends and get a bit better s**t or stay here?

Ghost: F**k the guardians, we're Hive/Taken now.

Reg, the knight commander: Alright, meet us at the dreadnaught, we'll set up a meeting with Oryx.

Then they called over the rest of their squad and disappeared. While my ghost called on our jump ship, the guardians ran out to us and yelled at me to stay but I flipped the finger and disappeared into the jump ship and flew towards the Dreadnaught.

Episode 4: The new member.

As we arrived at the Dreadnaught's hangar. Oryx was standing and watching as the jump ship landed on an empty platform.

Oryx: Hello guardian.

k-6: Hello, it's an honour to meet you.

Oryx: So, tell me about why you wanted to join us instead, I'm quite curious.

K-6: Well, I lost my entire squad to fallen. then I found out Zavala went behind everybody's back and made a deal with you. Later I found out that our closest associate, the Queen, works with the Fallen, thereby WE also work with the Fallen. So, I chose to get the f**k out and let them destroy themselves.

Oryx: Well... I've seen what you can do, I mean, you've taken out my son and me...once....so...

K-6: Yeah sorry about that... but then again, you take it quite nice meeting me compared to the fact that I killed your only son...and you of course...

Oryx: It's doesn't matter really. He had his own plans so I guess you actually just took out another lord. Well, I'll ask the rest of the ship about you joining, alright?

K-6: That's completely alright, I can wait.

Oryx: I'll make sure that you get to the smiths, which was your question or am I wrong?

K-6: Trust me, I would love to meet your smiths and get a little upgrade.

Episode 5: Kabjar, the smith.

Reg and Ranault stays behind and talk with Oryx, while I get escorted by four shadow thralls, to the layer of the smiths. as the door opens I see two Ogres and four Witches. The Witches are making the weapons with their magic, they're also smiting the weapons, while the Ogre gather the materials in the taken world. Suddenly a witch starts talking to me, not one of the four workers but apparently a fifth witch although this one was male, so wizard.

Kabjer, the smith: Welcome to the layer of smiths guardian.

K-6: Thank you sir, it's an honour to be here, it looks.... nice...

Kabjer, the smith: Well, the gear, right? That's why you're here isn't it?

K-6: Yeah...How'd you know it was why?

Kabjer, the smith: It's a thing that everyone can do, if it's a message that is meant for their kind, then they get it, take for example your gear, I got that message, so did my Ogres and my Witches. They're already making your gear but with Hive/Taken materials instead. The Ogres are too looking for the material even before you said it, since they always look for the same materials.

K-6: Damn son. That looks nice.

I look at the gear while it's getting made for me. The first witch is making my suit, it's looking awesome already. It's filled with glow stones instead of buttons. The lines are glowing with Taken/Hive power too. It's filled with small Hive spikes all around it and it has this aura of taken power.

I walk over to the witch that makes my gloves, helmet and boots. It's actually the same Principle. Filled with hive spikes and taken power as well as a taken aura. Then I walk over to the witch who's making my sword. It's too glowing with taken powers and made with Hive material but still looks like my normal sword, except that it has infinite usage and it has some cool Hive marks and taken marks too of course. The fourth smith is making my new guns, an auto rifle filled with taken power and make of hive material, the strength is unbelievable, my handgun as well, my rocket launcher too.

Kabjar, the smith: Try it out guardian, let's see if you'll like it.

I put on the suit and the rest and everything just feels so perfect. Everything fits perfect and oh boy it feels good to use the sword, so powerful, my guns too, everything is just awesome.

Then Oryx calls on me and tells me to get to him, he wants to talk to me about me joining.

Episode 6: The crew

I make my way to Oryx's chamber. He is standing with his back to the entrance but still feels my presence so he starts talking to me without even looking at me.

Oryx: Stand beside me guardian, stand beside me and look at this.

I walk up and stand beside Oryx and look out the window, only to see the biggest army of Hive and Taken forces, all of them ready to fight.

Oryx: I'm going to ask you a question. If I tell you that this is your army, what do you then think?

K-6: I'm aboard? I'm officially a part of your forces?

Oryx: My forces? No no, this army is your own, they only follow your orders, non-else.

K-6: Wow

Oryx: So, welcome to the Hive/Taken, Warlord Dreafrence.

I'm not only a part of the Hive/Taken, I have my own army AND I'm a warlord, which means I'll take over the second-best warship.

Oryx: And one more thing, since you already killed me once, I think you've deserved to get a nice ship...like the Dreadnaught.

K-6: No, you don't say that I get the Dreadnaught!

Oryx: I don't have anyone else to take over the ship don I? Like you already killed my only son Crota, he's not coming to take over the ship any time soon.

K-6: It's an honour Oryx, I don't know what to say to this you've given me.

Oryx: You're now the Taken Warlord, or rather, Warlord of The Taken.

After I say goodbye to Oryx and he disappears into an orb of Taken matter, I turn around, only to see knights and acolytes, all of them which are standing in a huge square and small masses, all looking at me, all of them expecting me to say something. That's when it kicked me. The "I'm the king" feeling. I just yelled out "Long Live the King". They all threw their weapons in the air and shot at the roof. I thought something was going to happen but nothing did, nothing got destroyed, awesome.

Episode 6: The New Lord.

K-6: I'm coming Saladin, I'll be there, and I'll fight on your side, and I'll do so, with my force, with my army.

Saladin: It's good to hear my guardian.

The chat ended and I told my captain to get us to the iron temple on earth. My captain nodded once, as a sign on that he got the command and the coordinates. The Dreadnaught appeared, flying low above the Iron Temple.

The Iron Temple: The Iron Temple is the temple of iron, the tomb of the iron lords, the rebirth. It's guarded by Tyra, Shiro-4 and Lord Saladin. The three protectors of iron.

I send out the troop ships to send down some thrall and knights and s**t. Suddenly I got a call from Saladin.

Saladin: We need your aid, and we really need it. The Hive has arrived.

K-6: I know, I'm in control.

I spawned out of the Dreadnaught, right beside Saladin, who was standing on the balcony and looking at the Hive, shooting at the splicers.

Saladin: You're telling me, you're in control of the Hive?

K-6: And Taken. I am The Warlord. Named by Oryx, I took over the Dreadnaught, as the new god amongst people. I was thinking why don't you join? Like, mix up, Hive material and Iron, and fuel it with Taken power?

Saladin: The honour of the Iron Lords shall remain at place, this place is a sacred place, the tomb of the iron lords.

K-6: I know, if you teach my army, of the iron lords, I think they'll start bowing down to their honour, since, I do too.

I convinced the three guardians of iron to join me. We started creating the ultimate war race. Saladin, Tyra, Shiro-4 and I, went out on the balcony and looked at our new creation. The Iron Horde. The first thing we did was erasing SIVA.

SIVA: A mind uncontrolled. Like Taken, it's able to override and recreate entities in its image.

Episode 7: SIVA's destruction.

As we the Dreadnaught was hanging in the air over the Pleaguelands, Saladin and I, was running and fighting our way, deep in to the heart of SIVA.

The Pleaguelands: A fierce land overrun by SIVA's recreation of the Fallen.

We made it to the huge box containing SIVA. The doors opened and we saw this huge walkway leading into the heart of SIVA. We had to fight through a million SIVA Fallen to enter but so what, that was easy since, we were both using weapons of the iron lords.

We fought to our last breath and on, without stopping, every corner of the way. Every enemy in our way, everything in our path, cut down by knight and warlord, sword and axe, iron and hive. We cut down everything, slayed every enemy until we reached the entrance to the box. We looked at each other and took our helmets off while still having eye contact.

Saladin: This is it my friend, this is here we'll either fall or walk free.

I didn't say anything but Saladin saw clearly in my eyes, that the risk of dying was worth it. We opened the double door and entered a room filled with SIVA infestation. We saw three bodies hanging in the ceiling. Suddenly, a light flew through the bodies and they fell onto the ground and stood up. That's when Saladin recognized them, it was three of his fellow iron lords. They picked up their axes and sword and charged towards us. As they charged towards us, two more iron lords woke up and raised from the ground. In sorrow, Saladin picked up his axe and cut down his brothers, one by one. His axe flew through armour and flesh on his now mindless SIVA zombie brothers. After cutting down each of his brothers, he dropped his axe and fell on the ground in sorrow. He yelled out his pain inside.

I put my hand on his shoulder as a sign on his loss. I turned to the entrance and walked out of the little box. I waited on him outside the small box, leaning up against the wall. He walked out past me and on, I looked in the room and saw the axes put in the ground, around the sword which was in the middle and having his helmet on. I didn't get why he did it but I knew why. It's a tombstone, a symbol of that the iron lords are laying there.

As we walked towards the big entrance, he spoke these legendary words I've remembered ever since. "Rest easy, Radegast, SIVA's burden is ours to bear now".

I didn't understand what he meant by that, so I ignored it, until I finally knew it, until after all these years just sitting and remembering it, until today when I figured why he stood still, he was watching, guarding and waiting for SIVA's return.

The last thing he ever told me was. "until we meet again guardian...

Episode 8: The beginning of the end.

Never underestimate a guardian, about what he is willing to do for his world, his family, his honour. Lord Saladin was the bravest, wisest, strongest and most honoured guardian among us all, the Pleaguelands are weaker, the SIVA is defeated but not yet exterminated, that is for the new guardians to do, those quests lie beyond my desire, for I am no longer a guardian, I am the Taken Warlord Dreafrence, and I am coming, for no planet, no race and no power in the universe is strong enough to resist the Taken power that glows inside my soul, beware guardians, for I am coming for you!

To Be Continued…

 

Author's Note

Note that I do continue on another story, from another point of view if requested, I will make other stories too but if I should make another "DESTINY" then I need some advice for wether it should continue from the eyes of K-6 or if it should be from the eyes or another new guardian

Reviews

[Jytte]

I find it a bit too long too😂

[...]

I like this creative form. Like stage play. When each person have own space for sentences. That's make very clear. Story it self can keep reader attention . Lot of happening , but myself I just get it half story. Changing letters also work well when something new occur in story line. I think You don't get any reviews even thought you got 35 visitors . Cause generally on all writers websites like this. People don't like long reading. They are busy with own writing. I will be make short story shorter. Make more clear and visible message . Brought more emotions together with logic . Make it more personal so Reader can feel it relate to what's happening there. I know myself. I have this problems too. I mostly shorter my poems and try put core of poems out. I think You don't have to make revision right now. Take your time. Make another writing observe your self and world. I make revisions of my first poems after 5 years. I can say it's work pretty well. So keep writing and see You SOON.
