John remained seated with his eyes closed but he moved his hand to his Eyasluna. He knew this person. And the last time he saw them was not a good memory.
"So... How is the Dark? Is it as cold as I imagine it?"
This Titan was about to be executed the last time he saw him. Only for the reason he had Red Death.
In that moment he turned his back on the Light, and accepted the Dark. He walked through the portal that would eventually lead to his own undoing.
It's not as if John could blame him. It made sense. The Vanguard hunting him like a dog. Beating him. Zavala was cruel. He hid it beneath a layer of honor and discipline. But it was there.
John rose to his feet slowly and tightened the grip on his cannon. He was still facing the sea but he was ready.
"Are we going to be civil about this or are you already hungry for Light?"

"Well I'm sure Dency has some himself bit before we check I need to dicuss...a...another deal with the bodoes, you see there are many female ones. Regardless if you go with an exo or no you need to choose the right one...well The options range around to the normal body...and the ones with...bigger assets I guess is the better word for it"
-
"I'm not at all interested in her, and even less interested in a Exo. She is my Ghost and I plan to choose a body that fits her needs, not mine" John scratched his goatee and returned his flask. He was still not looking overly happy with the situation. "I don't know about you. But my relationship with my Ghost is that of a friend and a work partner. Not as spouse or something else. Anyways. You said Dency has been holding out?" John turned and looked at Dency. It wasn't very friendly. More hungry. Or on this occasion thirsty.
-
[i]Eclipse laughed a bit [/i] "Alright just making sure anyways no I make Dency carry booze somtimes becasue hell I need it myself." [i]Dency smiles[/i] "What kind do you like?"
-
"I doubt you carry it but Uzo? If not then just some brandy. I do appreciate it" The ship shifted forward heavily and a thud was heard. "I think that's us hitting the shore. The Baron will make sure we get our weapons back. Place is a little seedy. Especially towards Guardians." John rose and dusted himself off. He yawned and stretched. "Just don't kill anyone or anything. We don't need to stay here"
-
[i]Dency shifts through his inventory[/i] "Never heard of uzo But I have bourbon" [i]Dency then scans into Johns hand and a large bottle of bourbon now sits in bis grasp as Eclipse Stands uo[/i]
-
"Aha! Thank you very much Dency! Now that I have a drink, let me show you this lovely scumhole" John walks towards the stairs that lead underneath the deck and takes a deep draft from the bottle. "Mmm, we'll need our weapons to go out here. Especially me, considering if I die, I die." Two unusually large Vandals stood watch at a door near the Baron's Quarters. John walked up and chatted with them for a second. They seemed to have no intention of moving. John continued to argue and his movements were becoming erratic. He seemed to be getting angry and eventually the Vandals relented. Only after some brief snaps of electricity. "Take what you need. Bullets, weapons, Anything." John picked up his fusion rifle and his Eyasluna. His fusion was a standard Elevated Vision and his Eyasluna was one with a heavy bayonet and true iron sights.

[i]Eclipse followed John and When he was able to he grabbed his ammo for his red death [/i] "Alright let's see this place then, and then hopefully we can get to the bodies in the vault"
-
"Outstanding then." John holstered his weapon and returned to the top deck, he stepped off onto the pier where a mass of Fallen, Dark Guardians, and Rouge Guardians bustled about. "It's busier than usual... Oh, almost forgot. Watch your gear. Sliest hands on this planet live here." He walked forward at a brisk pace. It was clear he was right at home. His attitude, however, was unique. The general attitude of the entire town seemed to be a shifty, aggressive stance. The sun was just past its zenith so they had quite a few hours before nightfall. John did not act this way. He acted as if they had mere minutes. "Hurry up, would you. There's someone you should meet for your... Condition. If you don't want to take the easy way out, then you should learn the life"
-
[i]Eclipse said nothing to John As he walked behind him, just kept ahold of his red death Not making eye contact with the other guardians and vandals. Dency did the same usually he would be a joker but even he knew this was not the time [/i]

John weaved his way deeper into the town. The confusing array of of streets was enough to get a Hunter lost. But John had been here too many times for that. "He's just up ahead. He went Dark maybe three years back. It's almost four by now. Let's just hope his mind is still in one piece." They came to a small, dirty shack with a sign written in Fallen tongue. John didn't bother to knock and just opened the door. The hinges were in such bad shape there wasn't even a rusty sound. It was a harsh scrapping. A younger man wearing unusually clean leather was behind a counter with his back towards them. He dusted himself off and turned around. "[b]Alright, who are you and wha- NO. GET OUT. JUST GET OUT, RIGHT NOW! GO ON![/b]" The man continued to rant for a short time before John spoke to Eclipse. "Go ahead and step out. I'll talk to him"
-
[i]Eclipse waves Drncy out following him and once Eclipse it outside the door he leans against a wall and looks arohnd. Dency just stares at the ground [/i]
-
As soon as they both walked out of the door, a loud argument erupted. At least, on one side. "Look, I just need you to-" "[b]I DON'T CARE. I THOUGHT I SAID I'M DONE[/b]" "You did but that has nothing to do-" "[b]JUST GET OUT OF MY SIGHT. OUT OF THE WHOLE TOWN! NO ONE HERE MISSES YOU[/b]" "That's a little harsh, I-" "[b]IF YOU DON'T LEAVE RIGHT NOW, I WILL DESTROY YOU[/b]" A brief period of silence was opened until a loud crash of splintering wood and grunts emerged. John opened the door and waved them inside. He was completely unscathed. The young man, on the other hand, had a split lip and a swollen cheek. "[b]Alright-[/b]" He looked to John with a mildly annoyed expression. "Eclipse" "[b]Whatever. Are you the Dark one?[/b]"

[i]Eclipse walks in with Dency behind him and when he looks at the guy he removes his helmet and setting it on his waist. His face gray and Somewhat wrinkled now. His eyes even darker than before[/i] "Yes I have the darkness or this damn voice"
