A Captain was present with a Shrapnel Launcher, and he wasted no time getting to work on me. I've only faced two of these before, one in Dock 13, which took me a bit of evading, a grenade, and some tact to kill. The other I took out from a distance, so it couldn't shoot back. This one was closer, and I know the Shrapnel Launcher to be a deadly piece of machinery after my battle with the Archon. Couple that with my lack of strong cover, limited space, and ineffective anti-shield weapon, this meant I was at a severe disadvantage. I tossed a vortex grenade at the beast, followed by rolling out of the way of its shrapnel. The grenade landed near its feet and proceeded to whittle down the shield. It didn't do much, but paired with pulse rifle fire, the shield went down after a number of bursts. I fired another burst toward it's launcher, and the triad of bullets caused the launcher to explode in its hand. The beast roared, and charged me. I fired two more bursts, but ran out of ammunition right there. The gun clicked, and in shock, I made a mistake: I took my eyes off the Fallen. The Captain was still going strong, and grabbed me off the ground by the neck and ribs with its four arms. I tried to beat at its arms with my left fist and my rifle, which only angered it further. It threw me off the broken edge of the deck behind it, and I couldn't conjure anything below me to break my fall. I released my rifle and made mistake number two: I extended my arms down beneath me to try and lessen the damage. Turns out, that only made my situation worse. My left wrist made first contact with the hard ground, and it twisted back up toward my arm. I heard a snap, and a surge of severe pain went up my arm. I let out a cry, and fell to my side, clutching at my wrist. The rest of my body was fine, fortunately. The Captain wasn't satisfied. It drew a pair of large swords from a sort of scabbard on its belt and jumped down off the upper deck. I rolled quickly to avoid it, and the swords stuck in the ground where my head just was, not seconds prior. I escaped deeper into the ruined section of the boat, only to corner myself near a pile of wreckage. The Captain pulled its swords from the ground and began to walk toward me slowly. It seemed to laugh as it drew closer. I had to think of something fast, or I was Fallen chow. I felt a bizarre sensation in my right arm, and looked directly to it. It was seething in a sort of glove of Void light, and I knew exactly what to do. I focused the energy into a sphere in my hand, spun around once, and launched the Nova Bomb, directly for the Captain. ((I figured I should use this opportunity to get the word out that I'll be writing this story again starting soon.
