Eyes up

Ghost: "Guardian? Guardian... Eyes up guardian..."

Bright light shined through her eyes, blinding her as she rose her hands to cover her eyes.

Ghost: "It worked! I can't believe it worked! There is so much stuff I need to tell you. Long story short, we have to get out of here before we die! I can hear the fallen on their way here. Quick, get inside the wall!"

After a brief look around her, she quickly got off of the rusty fragment of a car she was on top of and starting sprinting for the door that led into the wall. Inside the wall, it was dark, wet, and ominous. She could hear scattering sounds of creatures around her. As she walked into a wide empty room, with pipes along the walls, she heard the Ghost speak again...

Ghost: "It sure is dark in here, let me see if there is something I can do..."

The tiny machine started flying to a control panel, upon arriving, he fired some blue lasers out of his... eye? Where did they even come from? No matter where they came from, it seemed to work as the place instantly got brighter.

Ghost: "We have to run! The fallen are coming for us!"

Again, placing her trust into this little ball of light, she started running, passing through a gate she spotted a rifle on the ground. A beat up, weak, standard rifle, but so far her only means of protection. Picking it up she started to run. Until an ugly alien popped out from the vents and tried shooting her with a blaster that fired blue orbs.

She was lucky enough to sidestep the shots and hide behind the corner. Regaining her thoughts, rushed out and shot the alien in the head. It fell to the ground and dropped blue rocks. She really didn't like her current rifle, it felt weak and too much to carry, so she put it on her back and picked up the blaster from the alien, along with some spare ammo she found on it.

Surprisingly, the blaster felt almost weightless, which was something she liked...

Ghost: "You don't like that rifle, huh? We can sell it for some money once we get to the tower"

She nodded in affirmation, before picking up a knife from the dead alien. It had a button on the hilt, and upon pressing it, would discharge electricity through it. She liked this one too, it flowed well in her hands. Continuing forward, she saw three more enemies, but one was different, it was red and white... and less ugly. But still ugly. Using her new blaster, she was easily able to shoot the three of them.

She searched all over them for anything useful... but all she could find was more ammo and a few grenades.

Ghost: "Those grenades... You don't need them, you will be able to form your own out of light soon."

Seeing her confused look, the Ghost continued...

Ghost: "Light, think of it as energy, that can be shaped into what you want. It's limited however Guardians like yourself can use it in void, solar, or arc subclasses. Even broader than that are the Titan, Warlock, and Hunter classes... Which one you choose is up to you later, but first we should get out of here."

She nodded, before running forward, taking out enemies she saw along the way. While she was out she picked up so much ammo. Her Ghost informed her that he could store some in an encrypted data form, which was much to her liking. Using this feature, she picked up several more weapons in order to sell later on. As she stabbed another ugly alien, she could feel a slight bit of energy coat her knife... it felt warm.

Ghost: "Guardian, what you just felt was the light... You will use this later to kill even greater enemies, and to protect the tower."

She nodded once more, but before moving on, she tried feeling for the energy again.

It was hard, almost as if there was a blockade before she could use it... she quickly stopped trying, and stabbed the alien on the floor in rage. Upon doing so, she felt the same energy again... It was strange, but this time she could feel more energy was in her attack. So she kept stabbing, and stabbing, until every time she stabbed, the knife would erupt into flames.

Ghost: "You will run out of energy if you keep this up... Your light needs time to recharge. Of course you can just kill more enemies for light, but... stabbing one dead corpse over and over could leave you dry... Although it won't kill you, it sure isn't pleasant."

Stopping her stabbing, she looked up at the Ghost, nodded, and stabbed the alien one more time before standing up and walking off.

Ghost: "Up ahead is a clearing, I should be able to scan for a ship once we get there..."

Hearing this, she sped up, almost sprinting to the open door up ahead. Two more aliens were killed in this time. Which, according to the Ghost, refilled her light about four percent.

Running into the open clearing, she saw rusty, metallic buildings. With enemies everywhere, she was feeling a little low on this 'light'... so, she wanted to go on a short murdering spree. One after another, the aliens went down. In the end, she killed 23 ugly aliens, and 12 of the less ugly aliens. Restoring her light back to full, and giving her even more ammo and weapons. Looking down, all she could see, besides her breasts, was some ugly grey armor... It desperately needed to be changed... however, she couldn't take any of the armor from the uglies... it was just too, well, ugly. Plus it wouldn't fit her, but that was secondary.

Ghost: "Look up! There is a walker falling!"

Looking up to where the Ghost was looking at, she could see a six legged mechanical spider. It crashed to the ground with a heavy explosion... She instantly opened fire upon it with her blaster. She thought about the knife and how it erupted into flames, and tried to recreate the same effect with the blaster. Upon trying so, her gun had a faint orange glow to it... This wasn't enough for her as she tried again, this time hidden behind a wall so she could focus on it further. As she tried a third time, her gun erupted into flames with a loud bang. She thought this was perfect... Aiming it at the walker, she fired a bullet into its front leg, instantly, the armor on it's leg fell off.

Ghost: "The golden gun! Cayde will be glad to hear about this!"

The walker's head opened up to reveal an overheating engine behind it. Her gun was still flaming, so she shot two bullets into the engine. After she did this, the walker started to tremble before it collapsed and presumably died. After death, many blue rocks dropped from it, along with a blue dodecahedron.

Ghost: "An engram! I'm not able to decrypt the engram, but someone back at the tower can. You can get some stronger gear from these. But first we should look for a ship to get us out of this place."

As the Ghost scanned the area, she saw another building and started to head towards it.

Walking inside, she saw a chest, glowing with a faint blue light. Opening it, she saw loads of blue rocks and another blue engram. Upon her discovery, the Ghost returned.

Ghost: "I found a ship, it should be enough to get us out of here. Oh, another engram? This one is severely less complicated than the other one, so I should be able to decrypt this one for you right now... done. It seems like it was a new weapon. Give it a try."

Looking in her hands, she saw a small, matte black handgun. It fit well in her hands, she liked it. She stored the old alien blaster as data in the Ghost, and walked in the direction that the Ghost instructed her, which brought her into a separate building, past the dead walker. On her way she saw a new enemy, it was a floating drone that made whirring noises as it floated... They weren't too ugly, but the sound they made was annoying. So she shot them all. She ran through each room until she got to a space with nothing but a ship in the center.

Ghost: "This is it... Lets go."

Before they could get any closer, a tall, four-armed super ugly alien appeared from out of nowhere. Carrying a sword and a rifle. She activated her so called golden gun again and blasted three consecutive shots into it's head, even though it was dead after the first one. It was just too ugly...

Approaching the dead corpse, she picked up its sword and placed it on her back. It worked in a similar manner to the knife, just longer.

Ghost: "Give me a minute, I'll get this ship up and running."

Almost immediately afterwards, a loud roar could be heard and another four-armed alien came out of a hole in the wall. This time, it was way bigger, and this one looked kind of cool. It carried a different weapon, and she couldn't tell what it was exactly, however it looked powerful and she wanted it. She called upon her golden gun again, and shot all three bullets into the head of the enemy, however, the cool-looking guy was still standing. She didn't want to waste her light, so she just shot him a few times with her handgun and it died. A small white engram came out of his body, along with piles of blue rocks. She ran up to the corpse and picked up the gun he had. She stared at the helmet of the corpse, and it looked quite cool.

Ghost: "The helmet? I can scale it down as long as I cycle through an encryption. The same can be done with the gun"

Cycling through, a downsized replica of the helmet and gun were in her hands. She put the weapon on her back and put the helmet on her head, along with the cape the cool guy wore. She decided not to scale this one down since it looked better larger. It hung down to her shins, and looked pretty cool.

She looked down at the small white engram and picked it up.

Ghost: "A warp drive! We are going to need this if we want to go off planet. For now it can wait but this was a great find!"

Transmitting the two into the ship, the Ghost spoke again.

Ghost: "You're pretty good, I'm glad I have you as my guardian... although you are a bit quiet. Actually, really quiet. You haven't said a word. I guess it's fine though, as long as you can shoot and eliminate the darkness."

--One Hour Later--

A town upon a wall came into her sight, it looked like there were many people there. All of a sudden she found herself in a courtyard, with the Ghost next to her.

Ghost: "Follow me, we have to go see Zavala."

As they went down the stairs, they could see several different types of people, and a bunch of guardians like herself. Soon they arrived at a table, with only three people there.

Ghost: "Zavala, Ikora, Cayde. This is my guardian, I found her today."

Cayde: "Lookin' stylish! Was that some fallen guy's armor? Really like that cape. You a hunter then?"

Ikora: "Cayde, calm yourself, don't scare off the new guardian."

Zavala: "Ghost, has the guardian chosen a class? Or has she not yet decided?"

Ghost: "Not yet, although signs point to hunter."

Zavala: "So guardian... which one will it be? Titans like myself are strong weapons that can deal massive damage, but we are best put on defense. Warlocks like Ikora are just as strong, but they're more for front-line damage dealers. Hunters like-"

Cayde: "Awesome hunters, like me, are quick and agile, and can eliminate enemies quickly if hit in the right locations. They look the coolest too, dontyathink?"

Zavala: "As Cayde said, although I do disagree on the last bit."

Ghost: "Guardian, choose wisely."

Without much hesitation, just by seeing the cool-ass cloak on Cayde, she knew she would have to go with hunter. With just a point at Cayde, her intentions were known to the group.

Cayde: "Aha! A hunter! Glad to have you. Was it the cloak? It was for me... Anyways, could I get a name to put on the face of this new hunter... or a face to put on... could I get something?"

She placed two hands onto her helmet, and slowly pulled it off. Revealing underneath bright blue skin, with ripples of energy flowing through, along with long magenta hair that reached just below her shoulders, matching well with her glowing magenta eyes.

Guardian: "I'm.... Ria."
