    Here is my official story. Hope you like it. [b][u]Behind Enemy Lines[/u][/b] [spoiler]Three guardians, a hunter blade dancer, a titan striker, and a warlock stormcaller, were circling a ketch belonging to the House of Winter. The space battle was taking place over Venus. "I got a skiff on my six!" yelled the titan, Haxx-56. "I'm on it." said Edward as he directed his star fighter towards his endangered friend. Edward launched four tracking missiles, everyone of them hitting their mark. "I can't do anything about those deflector shields. We're not touching that ketch." Gale examined the enemies' tactics. "One second.... bogie down! Haxx, you're good to go!" Edward turned to the ketch. "Now, let's see." Edward flew towards the ship's hull, waiting for his missiles to lock on. "Ed!" Gale screamed through the comms. Edward quickly looked out his left cockpit window. He saw an anti aircraft cannon on the ketch, it was aimed right for his ship! With one torpedo, Edward's engines were engulfed in flames! "Ahhh!" Edward's star fighter barrel rolled out of control. It smashed through the hanger bay. A lash of flames struck Edward's neck, bringing him out of his daze. "Edward! Are you okay?!" asked Haxx over his headset. "Y-y-yeah, I think." Edward looked out his shattered cockpit window. Dregs frantically ran around putting out fires, but one group stood out. A captain wielding two shock blades was leading a pack of vandals to his crashed ship. "Guys, I am going radio silent. If you hear nothing from me in forty-eight hours... it was an honor serving with you two." "Ed, don't say thin-" Edward muted his headset. "I'm sorry, Gale." Edward spoke to himself as he activated his invisibility. The captain shoved his blade through the window and lifted up the cockpit. The Fallen was astonished! There was no one there. The captain leaned in for a closer look, but reeled back as a flame lashed at it. Once again, the captain took a closer look. It took a deep breath, which collected on nothing. The captain realized what was wrong, but Edward stabbed his knife through the captain's helmet. The vandals escorting the captain jumped back in terror! They took pot shots but the hunter jumped over their bullets and fired five bullets from his scout rifle, five vandals dropped. "Kelly, you got to watch my back, okay?" Edward looked at his ghost while he scavenged any available gear from the wreckage. "I live for it, Ed. Let's have another adventure." her camouflage shell spun with excitement. The airlock behind them chattered as it raised open! Edward swung around, then blinked behind some crates. He waited for the vandal recon team to pass before bolting into the hallway. "Kelly, you had one job." Edward snickered. "Don't give me that BS. You have to be more careful, these are the murderous Winter, ya know." Edward snuck through the ketch in shadow. "Kelly, are Haxx and Gale still out there?" "I'm afraid that they were chased off, they were way too outmatched." Kelly expanded her shell to get a better signal. "Well, let's finish what we started." "Psst, two captains heading this way!" Kelly spoke in whispers. "Sh*t, okay." Edward activated his invisibility once again, and waited for the Fallen to pass. "They're not moving fast enough. My invisibility is about to drop!" The Fallen chatter grew louder, louder, louder. Edward's invisibility dropped, and his blue and white armor stood out against the rusted wall. Edward cringed waiting for his fate. However, the voices waned. Edward opened his eyes, then looked around a crate. No one was there. His visor had fogged up from his heavy breathing. "Oh, what kind of bull sh*t luck is that? Kelly, what are some major structures on ketches?" Edward slowed his breathing. "Engines, standard and warp, and the shield generator. If our sabotage mission doesn't work, we can call in a bombing run." Kelly looked through her Fallen database. "Alright. Escape pods are close to the hanger, so I'll save that for last." Edward slowly snuck through the hallways. After four hours of avoiding danger, he reached the center of the ship, where the generator waited. Edward connected small, but deadly, bombs as he stuck them to the walls of the room. "That about does it." Edward crossed his arms and nodded at his handy work. "Let's get out of here before detonation. There is one layer keeping you from being sucked into the void." The hunter headed for the engines room. It took him five hours of sneaking through hallways and climbing up and down elevator shafts. Once Edward found the fuel cells, he pulled out a detonator. "Are we safe, Kelly?" "Yes! Flip the switch." Edward flipped up the cover, then pushed the button. For five seconds, there was nothing, then BANG! The sound of the explosion echoed throughout the ship. Edward stumbled from the Shockwave, but he kept his footing. Alarms sounded in every room! Dreg repair teams and vandal recon teams ran around to find the saboteur. "Alright, phase two." Edward did the same thing, he placed bombs all over the fuel cells. "Kelly, now I need you to retrace my steps to get me back to the hanger." "Chart plotted. Go left." Kelly led the way. The hanger wasn't that far away, only a two hour walk. The airlock opened, and thousands of Fallen were boarding skiffs! "The escape pods are on the other side of the room!" Kelly highlighted a door on the opposite side of the hanger. Edward thought for a second, then snapped his fingers, "I'll blink over there!" "Wait, the bombs." Kelly spun her shell in excitement. Edward smiled and detonated the bombs. Once again the ship shook violently, but this time the ship was being pulled into Venus' atmosphere. Everything in the hanger began sliding to the back of the room. "Here's my chance!" Edward bolted for the escape pods! He blinked around boxes that were about to hit him. He made it across safely. Kelly opened an airlock for the first available escape pod. Edward climbed in and plotted a course for Earth. As he sat down, he twitched and blinked repeatedly, he suddenly felt empty inside. He turned around to see his ghost stabbed by the Winter Baron, Braxis. "KELLY!!" Edward yanked off his dog tags and tossed them in the seat! He jumped out of the pod and launched it. It left the ketch just before it entered the upper atmosphere. As the ship was engulfed in flames, Edward and Braxis fought! The Baron was agile, but he was no match for the enraged blade dancer! Braxis reeled from the electricity, then was stabbed in the chest by Edward's arc blade. Edward finished off the vandals that surrounded him. He looked out the window as the jungle canopy came into view. "I'll go out in a blaze of glory." Edward spoke to himself as the ketch collided with the ground.[/spoiler]
