This was where I died. And where I was born again. I don't remember what happened to me when I died, nothing except that there was fire, screaming and I was afraid.
The rusted skyscraper slowing collapsing under its own weight and the weight of a massive colony ship's sphere pod, that was trapped in its side.
"Ember?" I said, calling my ghost.
"Yes guardian?" And in a flash of light, Ember appeared, her single eye watching me in curiosity.
"I know I've asked you this before, but what happened to me before I died?"
"And you know I've already told you this" she said hovering around me, leaving a trail of dim light behind. "But there's no why for me to recover or disclose any memories of your past life"
I sighed "of course you'd say that" I felt my eyes drift skywards, towards the towering skyscraper overhead.
"Why was I chosen to be a guardian? What did I do before I was a guardian? Did I have a family? A lover? "
My thoughts quickly broke as the massive booming sound of a Fallen Katch entered overhead.
"Guardian!" Ember whirled wildly before disappearing completely.
Before too long, Fallen Dreg dropped down into the crowded city streets below, weapons in hand, followed by one of their archon Priests and nearly a dozen Servertors.
"Damn it!" They began unleashing a volley of arc bolts directly at the nearby cars, causing them to erupt in deadly fiery explosions.
Quickly I reached own my arm, feeling the void all around me, I pulled myself forward and quickly Blinked away, vanishing behind nearby debris. I reached into the back of my cloak, taking my Hand cannon and began loading it. Slowly the Fallen Dreg began to approach my newfound cover, meanwhile the Archon Priest took hold of one of the rust covered cars, and proceeded to throw them one after an other in my direction.
"Son of a !!!" With every bit of strength in my body, I ripped myself closer to the Priest, appearing behind him.
A Nova bomb began to form in the palm of my hand, before condensing down to the size of a small granade. It wasn't long until he exploded into a blast of fiery void light. As all the Dreg turned to me in shock, I took my Hand Cannon and fired one round after another, exploding each Dreg instantly as my rounds reached their heads.
The Servertors slowly turned towards me, their cannons charging. Before they could unleash their stored energy however, I took all the void Light I could muster and unleashed my own blast of explosive energy. The broken metal of the dead servertor burner in purple fire before me.
"Ember? Are you alright?"
"Umm guardian?" Ember said as she appeared. "Can we get out of here?"
I looked at at all the destruction, slowly I began eyeing the colony sphere overhead before turning to Ember.
"Come on, let's get outta here"
