[spoiler]As this is a villian chapter, this will be more gruesome than most, so the queasy be wary[/spoiler] The Taken man walked slowly down the halls. His blades were resting by his sides and he was humming a tune. His voice gently echoed along the walls as he walked forward. His twitches had quieted for the time being. "Well... that was exciting." He said to himself. He glanced backward to look at the ten guards he had just slaughtered. Some were in pieces on the floor, some were splattered like artwork on the walls and a few dangled from the ceiling from their heads being engraved with knives. He giggled and walked on. "They never learn do they sweetie?" He said as he petted his blades gently. "Yes I know you are still hungry but there are more coming." His body twitched violently. "I can sense their fear." He laughed to himself and continued walking. He walked through a door to reveal a spacious secondary hanger of sorts. He glanced around for snipers or other enemies. The room was quiet except for a familiar presence that wasn't like the Awoken. "There are still Fallen here?" He asked himself as he looked around for the source. "House Judgement never left." Growled something in broken English. "Always loyal, yesss?" The stranger turned to see a Fallen Captain walk up to him slowly. It's top arms were purely robotic and an unusual color of green was it's primary shade of armor color. A chain mail drape guarded it's mouth and two shock pistols were by its side and it hobbled with a spear used by Devil Captains. The Taken stranger sighed in boredom. "Whoopi a Fallen... Go away I don't feel like carving another of you up today." The Fallen growled then inhaled slightly as if it had trouble breathing. "No matter. I here to stop you. You will not kill me." "Why kill you when I can take you?" "Then there is no fun for you. You like fun yess?" The Taken squinted his eyes in annoyance. "What's your point?" "We fight. No taking. I stop you and kill you. I kill you dead." The Taken snorted. "Confident are we? Alright then. You are really staring to piss me off so I will liberate you of life." "Before duel, present name, yesss? Fallen custom, take name for bragging rightsss." "I don't recall that being a thing." "Your not Fallen. You don't underssstand." The Taken stranger shrugged. "Alright. I have another name but I go by Tae Ken. Glitch by others. Death to many others." He laughed. "And don't forget TaeAHHH. Cause I kill quickly." He pulled his blades out snapped them backwards so they were flat. The Fallen snarled. "I am Variks. Leader of House Judgement. Loyal to Queen. Warden of Prison of Elders. Killer of Tae Ken." He gripped his staff tightly. "Don't be so brash and besides your Queen is dead! I'm pretty sure nothing could possibly..." Variks roared and lunged at Tae Ken. He moved swiftly for an aging Captain. Tae Ken simply blocked. They pressed against each other and tried to gain the upper hand. "Boy... you sure are strong for a Fallen aren't you?" Tae Ken laughed mockingly. "Fallen always strong. Not always determined. I very... determined." Variks forced him backwards and jabbed quickly with a small arc blade. It missed as Tae Ken glitched past it and stabbed Variks on the arm. Variks howled and swiped at Tae Ken more only to get more stabs over various parts of his body. Variks crumbled to the ground and his blood and ether slipped out of his system. He shook himself to regain focus to get a pommel to his head, causing him to fall flat to the ground. "Pathetic. Truly pathetic. I expected more from a cocky old b****** like you but oh well, guess I can add 'Killer of Variks' to my collection of names." Tae Ken grinned as he lifted his blades up. Variks wheezed and laughed. "I told you. You won't kill me. House Judgement must survive." A bolt of pure arc energy struck Tae Ken in the side. He growled in pain as he fell over and gripped his side. The Fallen sniper shouted at Variks in their language and disappeared. Variks quickly got up and hobbled over to a doorway. He slipped through as Tae Ken was getting up. Tae Ken's eyes burned as he watched the Fallen get away. "You little coward! I will find you and kill you!!" "No chance. Guards coming for you. I simply kept you here for trap to kill you. I win." Variks shut the door quickly. The Taken stranger stod still as he began to twitch violently. "Ok... Variks... Now you see what I will do to your precious home and guards." He clasped his blades together in the bow fashion and looked at the ships hanging from the ceiling. His armor flared in sickly green flames. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/153963334/0/0 link to part 4 https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/173672471/0/0 link to part 6 final
