Ladies and gentlemen, I have come to you with a special announcement. Early this evening, our fellow Guardians over at destinydispatch.net came to me with an idea. They are apparently gathering writers together for an ebook that they want to fill with Destiny stories. Naturally it will be free for the public to see and all. I am asking if anyone is interested in such an adventure. Comment below if you are. Thanks for your time. OH and for you long story writers out there, sadly me included, this is to be short stories. No going TOO over 30 pages.

Footsteps journey down a bright hallway, to reveal 3 eager Guardians. Ellis, a wealthy Human Titan, but has lost his country whole from a haunting battle, but has humbled him, making him a noble ally. Sam, a Human/Exo Hunter, which had suffered a unfortunate past, changing him in ways no other Hero would understand. Having part appearance to an Exo, and the knowledge of the Vex, he is as loyal and sympathetic as the first of Guardians. And Marc, a Exo Warlock. Once a solder on the front lines for the main land of the city. When the Fallen advanced forth, Marc was killed protecting his squad. He was discovered and later resurrected with the new human project named Exo. All his memories were retrieved and uploaded during the process. He is acknowledged to know the most important secret of the galaxy, from years of studies and adaptions from the traveler, only revealing his knowledge till retirement or death. The three guardians making up this Fireteam were united before graduating by the rank of Guardian. After a brawl commenced between Sam and and an ambush of thugs. Marcus and Ellis instinctively backed Sam up until the fight broke up. Minutes later, the three looked at each other, seeing the good that could come from their teamwork, and how harmoniously they worked together, realizing the legendary success they could have outside the city, teamed up. Months later, after a hard fought battle against the same thugs in the insolvent district of the city, the three gazed upon the night sky of an unfamiliar planet, and then to observe a blue ignition off a new distant Andromeda galaxy being born, with all three spectating this occasion, they set out to name their Fireteam, Blue Andromeda. The Fireteam of Sam, Ellis, and Marcus formed and on its way to legend, the name Blue Andromeda became synonymous with cooperation, peace, justice and assistance within the city. And outside the city blazed the trail for all guardians, their motto becoming: Be Brave, and Become Legend. The journey down the hallway continued until they had arrived to their private airstrip in the city hangar, known as The Tower. There a member of the City Council, waited to brief the Fireteam of their next mission. Councilor Vandillos started the brief with a offer of glimmer for interim of success for the mission, the mission however was seemingly minuscule. "Your mission Guardians," the Councilor started, "Is to retrieve the contents of a small cargo from a hoverfrighter that was gunned down, a few clicks outside the city walls". "A small hoverfrieghter?" Sam questioned annoyed, "Who, and more importantly why, would someone waste the ammo to drop it?" The Councilor replied sternly "Hunter, the contents are classified, and frankly is beyond your pay-grade!" Vandillos looked out, then took a deep breath and went on, "I can tell you, it was the damn Fallen, those filth never get this close to the city, they're getting bolder every day." Then he threw a engine starter key to Marc, the Ace pilot of the team. "That is why I'm asking you men to go, I know we can trust you, we know you wont hesitate to end those demons. Then he looked back at the ship behind him, and smiled, then looked at Sam. "I'm loaning you my ship, keep the old girl safe, no scratches or joyrides" The Fireteam laughed as they got into the ship. The Councilor gave a stern face, one of a Guardian remembering the days when he was a young hunter, when things were, simpler, and looked back up to the now hovering ship for one more word, "Listen hunter, whatever you're going after, its above my pay-grade to know as well, they don't tell me a darn thing anymore, just don't let your guard down," then he laughed, throwing an old pistol up to him, and as they flew out into the frontier, they all heard Vandilos yell "And bring her back with a full tank of gas!" Then on, they were on their own, no help, no backup, they planned to keep this a quick mission, but were ready for anything. As Sam and Ellis looked out to the ground with their rifles, Sam glanced at his gifted pistol, he loved the look and weight, and was intrigued at the thought of the history and battles it survived. "What do you think were going after?" Ellis yelled over the coms, Sam and Marc thought a second, then Sam replied "I don't know, usually they only make this a big deal over artifacts and weapons." Marc joined in by adding, "I don't think its a weapon, I can feel whatever it is resonating as we get closer, I've felt it since we passed the walls." Sam looking forward at what lies ahead replied "Whatever it is, be ready Fireteam, if fallen are there, you know they wont let us take it back without a fight." simultaneously Marc and Ellis readied their weapons. "Right!" they yelled as the team started its circle around the downed ship, plenty of fallen looking up from the ship and becoming more aggressive by the second. Sam threw his rifle over his shoulder and loaded his new pistol, looking back at his powerful team, "Last one down buys drinks when we get back to the tower!" The hunter yelled as he jumped out of the ship now hovering on its own. as he looked up he saw his team follow behind. Their last thoughts before hitting the ground, Let the battle begin!...
