Diamedes charged at the knight and swung his hardest but the knight didn't take any damage. "What! He should've taken damage" "There!" Shouted Ghost Just then something shimmered around the knight. "He has a shield" "It seems to be immune to all attacks." Ghost pointed out. All of a sudden three Knights came out of some doors all having different shields, arc, solar, and void. "This is just a hunch but I think I have to kill all the Knights to weaken its shield." "Let's do it." Diamedes charged at the first knight which had a solar shield and performed the Phoenix uppercut with his sword him completely disintegrated the first knight. Two were left and they flanked him from both sides the void knight attacking high and the arc knight attacking low. Diamedes rolled back missing a blade by inches. The void knight recovered almost immediately from his first attack and charged at Diamedes and soon enough they were clashing. Unlike other Knights these ones were smarter, more skilled with a blade, and far more agile. The void knight was relentless with attacks expecting to eventually find an opening. Diamedes heard Aldur the abomination of a knight charging behind him ready to swing all his swords in one go. Diamedes jumped high in the air and the void knight met and unfortunate fate when Aldur swung all his blades cutting him to pieces. All that was left was one knight and Aldur himself. "His shield is weakening keep it up!" Ghost said encouragingly. Diamedes backed up gaining space between both of his opponents. "Careful the ledge!" Warned ghost. The arc knight charged him with such speed and tried to stab Diamedes but he side stepped broke his arm with one of his unlit hammers then slicing most of its leg off. Diamedes picked up the knight and threw him off the ledge. Aldur's shield was now weakened enough so that Diamedes could inflict damage. Out of no where Aldur grabbed Diamedes with his right hand, lifted him up, and prepared to end him however Diamedes quickly took out a small knife he had at his side and stabbed him in the wrist repeatedly until Aldur's hand came off. Aldur stepped back in pain but moments later he became enraged and charged at Diamedes. Aldur now only had 3 swords one on his right and 2 on his left. Aldur swung both of his swords from his left side but Diamedes blocked the attack. Then there was loud noises behind Diamedes and after a few seconds he felt a burning pain on his left leg and it took him a few seconds to realize it was an acolyte that shot him he tried to focus with his fight against Aldur but as soon as he did it was too late Diamedes had lost his left hand, he fell on his back holding his arm as he was in pain but then he felt more pain as Aldur slammed his sword down on Diamedes leg which mutilated it and a second attack when he saw a blade pierce his torso. Diamedes felt the life slipping between his fingers. He thought "This is it, killed by a hive scum... I never thought I'd die this way though it's not as bad as the members of the original vault of glass fireteam died, without any hope." "There still is hope." Said ghost "LIGHT YOUR HAMMER AND SHOW THE DARKNESS WHAT TRUE POWER REALLY MEANS" Diamedes finally reacted casting his ability which engulfed him in his hammers into violent flame blinding Aldur and incinerating the acolyte behind him. Diamedes used his lift to get behind Aldur then he threw a hammer staggering him and finally used his sun charging ability on his back bursting through the Knights chest. The knight fell to his knees and then on his side finally being defeated. Diamedes fell on he ground out of exhaustion barely hanging on to his life by a thread. Diamedes achieved victory but Diamedes had severe wounds because of it. "Someone...anybody...help..." "Diamedes stay with me" said his ghost as he went unconscious...

The Shade of Grixis and the Deathsinger, Molkir, approached the open temple, coming up on the remains of the Hive that had guarded the entrance within. They stopped before the threshold of the door, in the center of the carnage. The Shade's left arm began to surge with power of the Light, it's arm becoming a bright white against the rest of its seemingly dark body. Seconds later, the ash remains of each fallen Hive rose from the ground, showing the same energies of Light and Darkness, until they reformed into their original form, albeit their bodies now composed with opposing energies, as certain parts of their bodies, minus their armor, shimmered and surged with black and white. "Molkir," spoke the Shade. [i]"Yes, my liege?"[/i] It looked at the collection resurrected Hive around him, then into the temple. "Make sure that wretch reaches the Summoning Pits." She didn't question him, merely entering the temple with the Hive collection close behind. As for the Shade, he was going to make sure a certain Ogre got its revenge.
