"I don't need any help. In fact I'm in a better shape than you."
[b]He twirls his handgun quickly before stopping it after the first rotation with the weapon still aimed at the door.[/b]
"Just awaiting my prey."

-
"Limping isn't a sign of health. But if you insist that you're fine." [b]Xerox lets go of his shoulder, a small bit of taken smoke lingers there[/b]
-
[b]He ignores it and sighs anxiously.[/b] "You need to make the enemy think you're weak and then move in for the kill. Something my target will never know." [b]He takes his eyes off the horizon only for a second to scan his surroundings before returning his gaze to the doorway.[/b] "Something this Son Of Oryx won't know. Sure you might have the highest success rate as a tactician but tactics only take you so far."
-
"Son of oryx..... Is his name serrov by any chance?"
-
"Yes. The thing is that he has done something to be listed an a HVT by my superiors." [b]He sheathes his scythe on his back before standing up to his normal height and using his main hand to hold the handcannon along with his offhand.[/b] "I'm guessing that you're going to go on about the whole 'you can only kill Hive gods if you're in their Throne World' nonsense. But the truth is that I don't need to do that."
-
"I'm not, I'm going to ask why you're going after him. What has he done to get the vanguard, a lightless, and you, after him?"
-
"Merely existing. And his actions have proven our point time and time again." [b]Footsteps are heard in the distance and progressively get louder. [/b] "Anyways. I have a target to kill."
-
[b]a wall of taken energy appears in the door way[/b] "Saying that he lives isn't a good excuse for killing someone. And he does these things because everyone immediately attacks him."
-
"Do you think that there are exceptions? There aren't, and this is my target." [b]He shoots at the wall of energy and it shatters into multiple glass-like fragments which then fall to the ground and fade away.[/b] "And I'd rather not fight two people today so I'd suggest that you not interfere with this."
-
"Fine, but if he lives and you come after him again, I'll protect him with my life."
-
"That's suicide, you know. I guess perhaps I should start a business that kills Hive gods." [b]He swings the cylinder of the revolver open and ejects the rest of the rounds out of the cylinder before catching one and loading the bullet.[/b] "I only need one shot and he's dead."
-
"You probably don't understand that people would die to save their friends."
-
"There's no saving him. Unless you have an affinity for dead corpses." [b]He closer the cylinder of the revolver and places his hand on the scythe's handle, the footsteps now becoming much louder.[/b]
-
[b]xerox begins to get annoyed, she couldn't let her friend die by this man's hand[/b]
-
"You do realize that I'm giving you mercy right now, correct?" [b]He aims the revolver over his shoulder before aiming it back at the doorway and laughing nonchalantly.[/b]
-
"Doesn't mean that I like the thought of a friend dying."
-
"He's almost here. Hopefully I can prove my point to you." [b]Several seconds later, a hunter wearing familiar Vex-Hive armor walks through the door and draws two handguns from his sides when he sees the two, one handgun being similar in design to Thorn and the other being Ivory and black in color.[/b] "[i]Two people trying to kill me today? As if I've done wrong...[/i]"
-
[b]xerox turns around and looks away[/b] "I'm not watching you kill him."
-
"[i]Yeah... I'm sure you will kill me. You're just faking it and then you'll shoot me. You know how this world works, you never trust strangers.[/i]" [b]Two gunshots are heard followed by the sound of two pistols hitting the ground and a sigh.[/b] "[i]Now, either one of you can kill me because I don't recognize you two.[/i]"
-
"Serrov? Don't you remember me? Please tell me you do....."
-
"[i]I don't know. Oh wait-[/i]" [b]The sentence is interrupted by the sound of a gunshot followed by a scythe cutting through bone, the sound of a shotgun being fired heard seconds after and a voice following the sound.[/b] "I'd hate to interrupt your little reunion but I must say.." [b]Another sound of a blade cutting through flesh is heard, the next sentence spoke by the voice filled with lunacy and having a lack of remorse.[/b] "Goodnight, sweet prince..." [b]Hysterical laughter follows the sentence along with many more sounds of flesh being pierced and eviscerated, the sounds seemingly lasting for hours. [/b]
-
[b]xerox falls to the ground and tries to cover her ears, blocking the noise out while trying to keep herself from crying[/b]
-
[b]Many more footsteps are heard, all Hive knights and Swordbearers with possibly one general by the sound of the footsteps. The second they enter the room the crackling of flames are heard followed by distorted screams and more laughter.[/b]
-
[b]Xerox looks around as she tries to stay calm, tears about to fall from her eyes[/b]
-
[b]Multiple charred corpses are seen in the room, mostly Knights and Swordbearers but one charred corpse stands out, one with an insignia on its chest, the insignia having two crossed Hive swords and skulls of Awoken, Human, and Exo. Another corpse sits not to far from those, this corpse having a single gunshot wound through the chest along with a golf ball-sized hole in their lower abdomen, multiple scythe marks line the body along with two large puncture wounds near the eyes.[/b]
-
[b]Xerox walks over to what she thinks is the body of serrov and cradles his head[/b] "No no no......"
