The wire rifle shots whizzed passed her head, searing the sides of her helmet and making her hair stand up. The fusion rifle was dead. It's battery long since emptied, used to kill a dreg. Now the House of Devils was on her tail, and their vandals hunted her down and trapped her on the outside of the wall. The guardian slid behind some rocks and what her ghost called "cars" the guardian had a name but the guardian is not the focus of the tale. The rifle lay on its side, it's stock in view, the rest lay hidden under the car. The guardian slid the rifle out in desperation, she loaded one of her own sniper caliber magazines and cycled the round. The gun felt old. Clunky. Powerful. The guardian noticed an engraving on the stock. No. Land. Beyond. Shock rounds whizzed over the car and sent her ducking for cover. She poked her head up and fired a round into the chest of a dreg. It stumbled and fell. It was not as powerful as she thought, but it worked. She cycled the next round and blew the ether out of a vandal. The next shot broke the shield of a captain and sent him down in a heap of armor and cloak. No Land Beyond. Thus Reclamation must begin. Every round she fired became increasingly stronger. Soon dregs were left with holes in their chests and captains were stripped of their shields and their lives in a single thunderous blow to the chest. She worked the bolt after every kill and soon the captains and vandals stopped coming. The rifle. The No Land Beyond felt new. Reborn. The guardian returned to the tower that day. Despite the Fallen's best efforts. She restocked the No Land Beyond with sniper rounds and returned to the Cosmodrome before the Fallen could regroup. She slid the rifle just where she found it. Her ghost left a note "blazes the path to our Reclamation" Now the legend of the No Land Beyond circulate and guardians hunt for the rifle. The Hunter who first found it never gives information on where it is. She says "the rifle finds you." But she's long since been senile and her ghost was captured by a wizard on the moon. Guardians hunt daily and nightly. Some only leave the Cosmodrome to restock on ammo. For some, there is No Land Beyond the Cosmodrome. I understand it doesn't quite fit the "hunting on an alien planet" but I just wanted to get this out there.
