As Authors notes: Hello! So I just really felt the need to do at least a single chapter of a guardian of my own creation and I will start with his last moments before he became a guardian then fast forward to when the ghost resurrects him if you see any room for improvement don't hesitate to tell me*braces himself for numerous nitpicks*
---------------------
“Chaos. Utter chaos” David thought.
A sea of people surging towards him, he and his comrades were the last line of defense from the rioters and the ship the guard next to him chuckle. “Funny isn't it? How we were supposed to let them aboard the ship a few minutes ago but now, with the riot we must keep them out but now they have is backed up near the fuel li-
BOOM!
The exact fuel lines just caught fire sending out an explosion of fire. “Nikolai! Watch out!” Burning Shrapnel went flying everywhere David tackled a fellow guard but was caught in the chest.
”friends till the end Davy.” The guard took his friend's gun and taser attempting to calm down the raging rioters but to no avail the fire kept spreading and people kept making the situation worse and worse.
----------
“Eyes up!” A bright cheery voice responded.
“What just where am I?” David groaned as he staggered up looking across a sea .
A white object started circling him screaming “YES! YES YESSSS! I found youuuuuu! I finally found you guardian!
The human widened his eyes confused as he looked at himself. “Why am I in armor? And what are you more importantly!?”
The white orb replied when an overwhelming amount of zeal. “Why I am your ghost of course! Not the superstitious kind. But uh anyways you might experience some things you haven't seen a while I'll explain them when it's-
The “Ghost”, as it called itself was suddenly interrupted by a war cry of some sorts and David turned his head but saw nothing”What was that!” David questioned the ghost and instinctively grabbing for his waist like a cowboy for his revolver.
“Lateerrr! But first we need to get you somewhere safe. O! And we need to get you armed!” The Ghost replied, still a ball of energy. “I will set up a marker for you to go near kings watch, follow it ok buddy?” The ghost continued. “Be careful though kings watch is riddled with fallen and we must go through the refinery to reach it as well! Lots and Lots of fallen!
“How is this possible…”David whispered to himself. A beacon appeared pointing to a flight of stairs with a door way. He quickly started running to the doorway, careful to follow the marker as it was on his screen? What exactly was doing this to him? Was he finally like the supreme chieftain from The game Faelow made by spungie or did the Ghost do something to his eyes!
“Helllooooo? Helllooooo? Earth to guardian!!” The ghost quickly broke his train of thought and David looked up noticing 3 masked individuals, one with a blanket the other with a night robe, and the other looking like a walking tank. Ghost quickly responded in a whisper to David,”they want to know who you are and if you killed the fallen Devils Prime Servitor.
“Hello guardian” the Titan reached out to shake his hand we are looking for sepiks prime you no where he is at?”
David was then lead into a barrage of questions and getting shook back and forth countless times.
David sighed after the Titan groaned in frustration and shook him again “ HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT A SERVITOR IS! YOU! ARE A GUARDIAN YOU BLOOMIN FOOL!”
“WELL MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I JUST GOT BROUGHT BACK FROM THE BLAMING DEAD! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT MY NAME IS!” David replied furiously shaking the Titan off of him
“Hey calm down you two! A ghost and the Warlock both piped up the Warlock pushed his friend back. “Seriously Elliemay he doesn't know, you are almost as bad as the huntard over there!”
The hunter piped up “Insult heard….but ignored Alburt next time try for an original insult.”
The warlock sighed and facepalmed and then faced David, “ So I hear you are looking to go to Kings watch to find yourself a ship, careful the house of kings are very mysterious we hardly know anything about them We would go with you but we are going to kill the fallen house of Devils servitor.
The hunter fake coughed and responded ”Says the floofer.”
“Alright seriously Orion! What's with the negativity it's like you enjoy being a pest!”
“He is a hunter Burt most hunters have zero redeeming qualities just move on” the Titan, Elliemay interjected Besides we can all get out of each other's hair once we finish this strike on the Devils lair. The Titan signed before thinking to herself “ what were the vanguard thinking when they allowed me to be paired with this people we hardly get along.”
After the argument between the hunter and warlock ended they started to walk away.
“Wait!” Orion, the hunter proclaimed he turned around and tossed an ancient and greatly damaged Revolver to David who barely caught it. “Something tells me you need a weapon wait that's your ghost… Bye ghostie!
“Hey! Thanks man!” David smiled to himself,sure if didn't feel like the proper weapon for him and it was an ancient weapon but he was armed, armed with knowledge he wasn't the only guardian and with physical bullets to dole out damage on whatever crossed his path.
“We are getting deeper into the refinery I think those guardians took out most of the Fallen but we can't be sure.” Right on cue an ugly two armed creature appeared with an electrical knife which caused the ghost to vanish and he heard in his head”Its’a fallen gidit gidit giditttt!!!”
“What is that!” David frantically responded nailing the fallen in the head with a single blow from the butt of revolvers handle.
“Don't worry buddy I got you! Top left corner for you I will set up an active radar!” The ghost chimed in and right on cue a radar popped up where the ghost said it would.” Also….that's a fallen dreg...poor guys are hardly loved….they have their bottom two arms docked to show they are not equal darn shame it's like taking a guardian away from a ghost we are nothing without you…..oh well!”
“Yea…...uhhhh lets keep go- WOAH!” David was caught unawares he wasn't paying attention to radar and a knife cut into him but he backed up and nailed the dreg in the head
But more were coming.
CHH!CHHH! CHH!
David killed two more fallen and some four eyed thing ghost called a vandal? Since when did vandals get two more arms for breaking the law!?
“So that's a Vandal? What's up with them how are they special?” David inquired.
Ghost was all too happy to talk again “Well buddy vandal are a rank above dregs vandal have both arms and are given more ether which allows growth and keeps fallen alive.”
After a few more fallen here and there with awkward small talk from ghost he made it to a new room with a clear exit to the king's watch and an odd looking storage device.
“O yay! We found a loot cache!! Who knows what could be in it! What if it's the legendary helmet of the Exo Titan Saint 14! Oh no! But what if an illegal red death model is in there!” The ghost continued rambling while David sighed and opened the loot cache inside was
an old Remington shotgun with a couple rounds still in it.
“Orr an old shotgun”“ David responded dryly stowing it on his back at the ready.
“Oh, well...Shotguns are good to! Perfectly fine!” Although it was a machine, the new guardian could sense the unease Ghost felt”Heads up! We have four fallen inbound, maybe it's time to test out your new shotgun.”
CHOOM! CHOOM! CHOOM CHOOM clink clink clink clink.
David pumped his shotgun into four fallen on the way deeper into the building before inquiring “what am I looking for anyways?”
Ghost responded “well Guardian WE are looking for a jump ship to go to the tower, a place for people like us to go, you see I'm a ghost I am a child of the super awesome wonderfulous benevolent machine known as the traveler! The speaker can explain the rest to you buddy “
David sighed before asking “So you keep saying guardian and buddy...are one of those my name is my full name Buddy Guardian ?” Ghost went quiet for a second and disappeared. “Ghost! Hello! I asked you a question! Answer me!”
Ghost let out an audible sigh and responded in a less amped up voice and more of a child caught taking cookies from the cookie jar. ” you don't have a name anymore technically...all guardians forget who they were...but for now you can be Guardian! And later on we can name each other! After all we ARE going to be best friends forever!.”
This elicited a chuckle from the now nameless guardian “ hah, forever.. I guess so.”
Ghost let out a bleeping noise before shouting “YAYYYY! Look!!! Guardian! A- oh...fallen...it's surrounded by fallen. The ship is surrounded by fallen”
Guardian took out the aged Revolver taking aim at the robotic underlings of the fallen, quickly dispatching them before attacked by two dregs whom he took out with two shotgun blasts and charging an over sized vandal, whom ghost later informed was a fallen baron of the house of Kings named Devren.
“Yayyy! Yayyy yayyy!! We-” ghost was interrupted by a large fallen, even bigger then the baron. “Ok we are going!”
Guardian looked around as he faded into the air before he appeared in the ship. “How is this even possible” he thought to himself.
Edit1: so turns out my refined copy of chapter one is too large so it's now a two part chapter so i will be adding a table of contents I guess so both parts can be read.
