Path of Totality; A TDS Eclipse Event Story

🌘Chapter 2🌒

      "No titan here uses arrows. Especially none of this craftsmanship," Void Reaver held up the arrow, letting the titans see it. Medic couldn't help it, she peaked her head out and looked around. Oh my goodness, it was a researcher's dream out here! But her main focus was the arrow that was being showed off.

      Molten Boss growled, "So you're saying some new titan has shown up with a stick and string to kill us?" Void Reaver stared over and slightly nodded, "I suppose you could put it like that."

      Lord Sinister snarled, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's rally up our armies and kill this murderer!" Titans began cheering and chanting, Frost Spirit included. They were quickly hushed by a new voice.

      "Quiet! All of you!" Fallen Swordmaster had been staying out of the fray but he now needed to give his report. "I know who killed our fellow titan. She holds enough power to kill us all off one by one! Her army will wipe ours across the floor!"

      Titans fell silent, their heads bowing in despair. Medic and Commander could feel the way Frost Spirit tensed up, the air around them a bit chilly.

      "She also has other titans working for her! If I had to guess, then she probably wants us as her slaves too!" Fallen Swordmaster waved his arm around to gesture at the standing titans.

      It was silent. No one dared to speak. Commander and Medic looked at eachother, dread setting in. "Then what do we do?" Fallen King mumbled. No one said anything. They didn't know.

      They all stared at the dead titan before them, sorrow filling the air as they mourned over the loss. Frost Spirit managed to sputter out something at last, "What... what if we work with the towers?"

      Insults were instantly hurled his way. "What makes you think they'll help us?" Lord Sinister snarled. Molten Boss hissed over at the scared avian, "Have you forgotten that we are on nasty terms you dense headed bird?"

      Void Reaver hushed everyone, "Enough! However, I agree. Why would the towers want to help us?" Mumbling went around and Frost Spirit bowed his head in shame for suggesting something so stupid.

      Medic frowned and looked back at Commander. She jolted as she saw Commander trying to climb out of Frost Spirit's pocket. "What are you doing?" Medic whispered yelled and tried to pull him back in.

      "Doing what is needed to save our world!" Commander huffed as he dropped down to Frost Spirit's feet, his presence being noticed immediately.

      "GAH! A tower! Get it!" Molten Boss pointed and screeched at Commander. Raider Boss was on it and pointed his rifle at Commander, ready to fire.

      Commander put his hands up, but he was saved by Frost Spirit shoving Raider Boss away, causing the rifle to shoot in the air. Thank god the bird was feeling friendly today.

      "Frost Spirit! What are you doing-" Molten Boss tried to stomp forward, but stopped as Commander shot his pistol in the air. All eyes locked on him. It made his legs turn to jelly...

      "What do you want, Tower Leader?" Void Reaver crouched down, his six eyes consitrated on Commander. Commander swallowed down his fear and stammered out, "I-If this threat is killing off titans, then I can only assume the same for my kind."

      Fallen Swordmaster raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms, "So what do you want from us?" Commander took off his sunglasses, something he rarely did. He folded them up and looked down at them, fear making him shiver.

      "If this threat is after our planet, then we need to protect it. It's clear what will happen if we continue to stay divided," Commander looked over at Gravedigger. It was horrible seeing him like this, he never truly wanted this.

      He looked back up at the titans, "We can defeat this new enemy together! It's that or we risk someone else being targeted!" The titans all looked at one another, a lot of sceptical looks. Then they looked at Void Reaver.

      Void Reaver stared into Commander's very soul, his eyes reflecting the tower. He then hummed, "I refuse to let any more of us perish like this. We shall fight with you, tiny tower leader."

     Commander growled, "It's Commander! And I'm not tiny!" Medic snickered from inside the coat, but that just sold her out too. "Good Creator, how many you hoarding in there?" Sinister sneered at Frost Spirit, who then hissed back.

      "Our lands are not safe! We can not stay divided! Summon your armies and follow the 'Commander' back to his base!" Void Reaver ordered. Fallen Swordmaster nodded and stepped away to summon the void army.

      Commander's jaw dropped, "Why to my base? I don't have the room for you AND your armies!" He pouted as Void Reaver brought down a finger and gave him a little pat, "Daw, it's okay. We will make room!"

      Commander just facepalmed. He couldn't wait to explain this to the others! "Commander, I'm going to get the four wheeler with Frost Spirit. We'll meet you at camp! That will give me time to explain to the others," Medic was now in Frost Spirit's hand, waving at him.

      "Just going to leave me with them!?" Commander barked up. Medic nodded, giving him a thumbs up. Frost Spirit then took the air, flying off to retrieve the four wheeler and speedy.

      Commander turned around and watched the other titans. Sinister had Gravedigger's shovel and was working on digging a deep enough grave. Molten Boss and Fallen King looked over the dead titan, clearly mourning.

      It astonished Commander, why target someone like Gravedigger? If he had to guess, Gravedigger might of been in charge if this place. That would explain the name and theme.

      Taking off his hat, he bowed his head and paid his own respects. He would avenge the annoying green bastard if it was the last thing he did.
