Chapter 2 Jackknife sat sharpening his knife with a smug grin across his face “What can I help you with El Roboto?” Arauro stood over him, his eyes as slits. “You know how much I hate that nickname” Jackknife shrugged “It wouldn’t be as entertaining if you didn’t.” Arauro let out a sigh “I need you for a mission” he spoke quietly. Jackknife stood, pocketing his blade and turned to look Arauro in the eye. “Alright. You’re more serious than usual so it must be something dangerous. Very well, I’m in.” Arauro shook his head “As usual, diving headfirst in without knowing what the obstacles will be.” Jackknife simply grinned “If I didn’t, it wouldn’t be as fun.” Arauro handed the hunter the file of information “Give that to your ghost and meet with me in a week. Gather the items you need. Also, any idea on where Zora Nel is?” The hunter rolled his eyes with a sigh “She went out to Earth again. The Cosmodrome, to be specific.” Arauro turned out to look at the city “Searching for it again, I’m guessing?” Jackknife shrugged “What else would she be doing. For an awoken, she sure is obsessed with that machine… she needs to accept it” Arauro shook his head “Once a guardian loses its ghost, they can’t be brought back once they die. But, her twin brother was very special to her. You know that” Jackknife shrugged as he began walking away “Have fun finding her. I’ll see you in a week El Roboto” Arauro turned to glare at him as the hunter walked away laughing. Zora glided over the destroyed highway. She came down with a defeated sigh. Her searches were in vain once again. “Damn it all!” she screamed out and sank to her knees. She felt a hand on her shoulder, jolting her back to reality. It was Arauro-13. “I’m sorry Zora. If we could bring him back we would. He’s was a very powerful warlock just like you. But, what if I told you there might be a way to bring him back?” Zora turned to him. She grabbed him by his chestplate, pulling it so his helmet was centimeters from hers “Don’t play games with me damn it. You better be serious” Arauro looked at her through his visor “I am. There is a chance this secret resides in the Vault of Glass. The Vex hold many secrets of time manipulation. Maybe one of those can be used to bring back your brother, or at the very least, his ghost” Zora’s hands were shaking against his chest “If there’s even a slight chance… I’ll take it.” Arauro patted her helmet “Gather what you need and meet with me in five days.” She let go of his chestplate letting her hands fall to her sides. She turned to look in the direction of the traveler “Soon Vaelo. We will reunite soon” Arauro walked down the stairs to the Vanguard with Jackknife to his right and Zora Nel to his left. Once they were in the conference room, the doors closed behind them. Inside stood Cayde-6, Ikora Ray, Zavala, the Speaker, and three other guardians, two with Cayde and one beside Ikora. “Hello there, Titan. Ready to get this show on the road?” Ikora shot him a glare and Cayde returned what could only be a grin, if Exos could grin that is. “Yes… Well then. Let us get this underway. Ikora, please introduce your warlock. Ikora turned to Zavala then Arauro, her anger dissipating “This is Nyx. She is one of my most trusted strategists and a powerful Voidwalker. She’ll be of much use to you Arauro-13.” She said, a faint smile crossing her lips. “Yea… Now that that’s out of the way. This is Charlie and Leroy. Two of my best Hunters. Leroy has gathered quite a bit of information on stealth ops and Charlie is my best gunslinger. He’s taken out many threats against the city. They should be very useful” Cayde said with a quick glance at Ikora. Zavala looked at them and cut in “With that aside, you all depart tomorrow.” The Speaker stepped forward, placing an engram in Arauro’s hand. “Take this, it belonged to someone you knew very well. And he’d want you to have it. Good luck Guardians and may the Traveler’s light guide you” He said as they all departed.
