Editors note: this is a short message for apologizing for any incorrect spelling and I apologize if I go over 300 words. The city has reported countless Fallen and Cabal guarding a vault in the Buried city located on Mars. I, as a Titan, saw this report and asked my friend Darla; a hunter, and my close friend Sean; a warlock, to help me secure this vault. We took my ship, the swordfish II, out of the city and set our destination on Mars. In the ship, we went over our battle plan and armed ourselves to the teeth for the impending battle. When we landed in Mars, we landed about a kilometer from the Buried City to be off the enemies sensors. Darla took point and led us towards the city. As we were traveling we were ambushed twice by small Cabal patrols; fortunately, I was able to wipe out half the patrol before Sean was able to kill of the last with a Nova grenade. As we were on the edge of the city. We noticed a Fallen warship hovering over the city. "We'll at least it's not a frigate." I said to my friends before we ventured into the city. We were able to sneak past squads of the Fallen with Darla picking off enemies with her silenced Long Rifle, The Splinter. We were getting close to the vault as Sean accidentally tripped an alarm and almost every Fallen and Cabal headed towards us. We rushed to the vault and Sean was able to hack some defense turrets around the vault to help us. Sean whipped out his ghost, Darla armed her sniper rifle and I loaded my LMG as a squad of Fallen came towards us. I fired the first shot at the first Fallen, who was a Dreg, climbing down the walls of a nearby building. The more I kept killing Dreg, more of them were coming down the walls. Sean's ghost, who he called Sparky, fired a lazer beam at a Fallen captain as Darla shot the captain's head off with her sniper. I was shooting Fallen left and right until the Cabal appeared by charging through rusted,deserted old world cars. As I was getting low on ammo for my LMG, another fireteam came in on Pikes and distracted the Cabal so Sean could wipe them all out with his explosive semi-auto assault rifle. Finally, a Devil Walker appeared and I fired at it with my rocket launcher. I emptied everything I had in it until one of the Titans who was on the other fireteam delivered the final blow to the tank. After the battle, Sean hacked the vault door and I agreed to split the reward with the other fireteam. As we entered the vault, there was enough loot for all of us to split. I also noticed an object that had me realize why the Fallen and the Cabal were guarding it. And we were all shocked to see what it was...
