The Crucible

Two

"We're landing, Sarah," Her ghost chimed beside her as the whipped through the blue hyperspace.

There was loud gulping  heard over the mic as Nate and Kyrine, the more-then-semi-sober,  blinked. The flash on their helmets told them it was Sarah.

Said girl exhaled and  cleared her throat. "Anyone got anymore?" Kyrine rolled her luminescent  eyes and watched as the other two ships that weren't a part of their  private fireteam slow, and she looked to the red-orange land below.

They all heard the bottle that broke, crackling from Sarah's mic. "We're here." She said, toneless.

Nate's laughter suddenly was heard in all of their mics. "Oh come on. Lighten up! We're a bit tipsy, and here to have fun! Not be complete bitches." Kyrine nodded thoughtfully, then gave a little laugh.

"Sean..?" She tentatively called out, "we're landing."

His high-rough voice,  affected by the booze, echoed throughout everyone's ship cabin. "Yeah, I  know." He sucked in a breath and laughed. "Let us go!"

Sarah rolled her eyes and patted down so beer that had escaped onto her Praxic Fire. She really should not had any alcohol. Her altitude scale in her helmet notified her, and the rest of the team, they were decreasing in altitude.

As the ships go closer  and closer to the Martian sand, the orange surface skittered all around  as they ship finally landed and the engines shut down, and the Guardians  exited.

The blue Alpha flag  whipped in the harsh winds of Mars, and the old Bastian buildings  remained looming in the dark distance as the six Guardians walked  towards it.

As they all got off  their respective ships, they drew their weapons, and their ships  materialized into the sky. The Hunters capes were flapping in the wind,  and Warlock skirts and dresses were lifted. The Titans as always  remained stoic.

The word Alpha boomed  throughout the game map, reaching corners. Nate stepped forward and  took hold of the flag, naming himself leader of the Crucible Fireteam.  If his mask hadn't been in place, everyone could have seen the confident  smirk in place.

Sarah's back was  straight, Kyrine was relaxed beside Nate, her hand cannon on her  shoulder and her weight focused on her left foot, and Sean's  posture  was slouched.

Bravo! Echoed the other side of the map, and all the team members felt their hair raise as the adrenaline rushed.

Fireworks were launched and there was the resounding boom.

And the game had begun.

AN: Okay! First off. I  have to laugh, I'm new to this. Umm...the stories I create are things  based off my personal experiences. Destiny is a fav game among me and my  friends and we all play together. Also, as one last thing, I felt like  the crucible wasn't really explained well. Or maybe I'm just a naturally  curious person. But I have added things to it to kinda fill gaps I  thought needed to be filled for this story, if you'll call it that.

But, ah, next chapter or two will be the crucible action. Yeah! Right?

I like to add details and how-they-got-there, and what-happened, stuff like that.
