This is the prologue to the story it starts at the battle of twilight gap I hope you enjoy [spoiler]The defenders of the gap were beginning to get tense. They could see dozens of skiffs assembling like vultures in the distance. They had appeared on towers radar a few hours prior, and the Vanguard sent Helios and his two fireteam members, Firen, and Clyde-7 to bolster the defense at Twilight Gap. Everyone at the base was quiet and anxious. Helios donned his signature white and gold armor stood at one of the massive artillery cannons with Firen. "Those skiffs are still massing, I doubt it's an extraction crew." Firen stated. "The fallen wouldn't dare attack this base and you know it." Helios said calmly. "The fallen are growing bolder, I fear that they are going to do something extreme this time." She blandly said. "We'll be fine." Helios said as he put his helmet on and drew his hood up, "I hope." He whispered. He then walked over to the loading dock and checked the ammunition in his hand cannon. The intercom crackled and blared a message "Be advised fallen skiffs are approaching the sector." Helios closed the chamber of his trusty silver and gold hand cannon, Then holstered it and cocked the hammer. He whispered again "We'll be fine." The cannons fired a warning shot with a loud THOOM! It was followed by a sound like thunder that rattled Helios's teeth. He looked as the clouds were torn apart and a ketch glided over the gap along with dozens more screaming skiffs. Helios ran back to the artillery cannons which have now started to barrage the skiffs, with each shot Helios could feel his bones shake. He whispered to himself one last time "We'll be ok."[/spoiler]
