A/N: "Ah, good to get back to my roots and continue this story."
Ghost: "Well you have been expanding out a bit."
A/N: "Ya but I'll always come back to this, hell still got two more story's and maybe more planned."
Ghost: "Of course you do, now then let's back into it again."
A/N: "You said it buddy."
—————————————————————————
F/N's perspective
It's hard to believe it's been a month since I defeated Crota and a lot has changed since then. Well to start I've met my actual birth father, that was an experience and gave me closure on several questions I had about my past. Along with that he gave me a gun which I will get into later. Beacon's been fully repaired since the battle and is back up and running. Everyone's ok for the most part, besides the PTSD from the battle it's..... as best as it can be after something like that.
As for the Fang? Well the ones that stayed to fight returned to their base and all charges have been set on the new Red Fang that the Devils and Adam's loyalists have formed. Which at current are at large and we have no idea where they are or will strike next. Well until now.
I was currently sitting in my chair at the war table. Hovering over my shoulder was Star, now in a plain white shell after her last one broke. Beside me on the ground laid my new wolf, which I had now been calling Alpha. Around the table sat the house leaders, Saladin, Eris and Cayde.
F/N: "Are we sure this isn't some trap?"
Spider: "From what we received, it's as real as it gets, I bet my ether on it."
Randel: "Big words Spider."
Saladin: "Enough talking, you said it was important?"
Spider: "Yes, it concerns our, less than cooperative kin."
Draksis: "House Devils."
Cayde: "Well this is good news! We have a lead."
Spider: "Less so for our allies."
He moved one of his arms to the table and hit the holographic screen. A little icon popped up as a message started to play.
Sienna: "My name is Sienna Khan, leader of the White fang. This is a message to the Kell of Kells. Not too long ago my headquarters was attacked by our shared enemy, the Red Fang. If you are like anything I've heard, I request you meet with myself and we discuss our best course of action to rid this world of these pests and let a hunt begin."
The message ended as the room went silent. I scratched my chin as Star floated over a bit.
Star: "Well I scanned the tone and wavelength, she wasn't lying. So what do you plan to do Guardian?"
Taking a breath and pushing my chair back, this got Alpha's attention as he looked up at me.
F/N: "Well as I see it, we have to deal with the Devil's and Adam before Oryx arrives. This helps us with that goal."
Cayde: "Alright kid, what's your plan."
Placing my hand on the table I hit a few holographic buttons as a hologram of the house of Wolves ship appeared.
F/N: "I want house Wolves to load up for a long distance op. I want Skiff's and Walkers abound as well. We have no idea what remaining forces they have, so I want to be prepared for everything they could throw at us."
Mithrax: "I will begin preparations."
Mithrax put a fist to his chest before making his way out of the room. Randel went to follow before I grabbed him by the back of his armor.
F/N: "You have a house to run Randel."
Randel: "But boss-
F/N: "Randel, as much as I do want you there to help me, I need you here helping finish the city."
Randel let out a sigh and patted my shoulder.
Randel: "Alright boss, but give that bitch a couple hits for me."
F/N: "Will do friend."
Randel nodded as the other Kells followed him out. Only the guardians remained as Cayde walked over.
Cayde: "Well if I had to guess what you are going to say next, it probably would be something like......
Cayde cleared his throat and did his best mock impression of me.
Cayde: "Cayde I need you here teaching these students, despite what we have faced, it is only a glimpse of what is to come. Eris, keep your rock of Cayde's maps and assist the wizard of Oz in preparations on Hive matters and countermeasures. Did I get it right?"
I just blinked as Saladin let out a chuckle.
Saladin: "Not bad Cayde."
Star: "Ya, almost scarily accurate."
F/N: "Oh come on, I don't talk like that."
I looked around at them as they gave me a blank stare, except Eris she was looking at her rock like always.
F/N: "Ok, and to wrap that up, Saladin you're coming with me on this hunt."
Saladin: "Of course Young Wolf."
F/N: "If that's all, then I'll be getting my gear in check and heading to Beacon to say goodbye to the others. Meeting dismissed."
The guardians nodded as I started to make my way out. Star flouting beside me as Alpha walked beside me.
Star: "So which ones are we taking this time?"
F/N: "I don't know..... go prep the ship for me while I grab them, should only be a moment."
Star: "Alright, see you."
She transmated away as Alpha hit my hand a bit with his nose, letting out a low whine.
F/N: "I know, I know..... I'll tell her at some point."
Alpha just nodded a little and let out a howl as he turned into light and formed into the symbol on my shoulder. Making my way to my room again, I started to feel a sense of something tainted as I walked into my room. Along the wall hung my arsenal. Of course as I walked over I lifted Young wolf's howl in its scabbard. Unsheathing it a little as I checked the sharpness before putting it back in and strapping it to my back.
Moving on I backed up a bit as I looked over my arsenal of energy weapons, strumming my fingers on my chin as I reached out and grabbed Riskrunner and secured it on my thigh.
F/N: "They use enough arc weapons to make this a no brainer.....
I paused as I looked at the last weapon I would be taking, deep down wishing I hadn't gotten it in the first place. Thorn, the weapon of Sorrow. Just being near this weapon I could feel the darkness emanating from its tainted frame, a low whisper of words that I couldn't make out lingered in the back of my mind, growing more as I firmly grabbed the grip of the weapon before swiftly putting it on it's holster as I shook off the whispers and went to the air pad up top where my ship waited.
Something that I haven't told anyone over the past few weeks is my recent dreams. Unlike before with my other dreams, these happened daily. I just stand in a wasteland of ebony, green mist covering the floor that reaches up to my ankles, a ever present feeling of darkness pushing in on me, and always a figure which the mist originated from, standing there in armor of the same ebony black as the terrain around me, speaking the same whispers as I hear when I focus on the weapon when I wake. It was unsettling, but something I think I can conquer.
Walking up to the air pad I watched as Star brought my jumpship over, my thoughts lingering on the dreams and what they could be. Though I set those aside for later as I was transmitted into my ship and took over from the autopilot.
F/N: "Thanks Star."
Star: "Don't thank me yet, you still have to tell them you're leaving."
F/N: "Thats fair I guess."
Kicking on the engines I flew away from Kell's landing and towards Beacon academy. Passing by many of the Ketches over the city, I took a glance over at the Wolves Ketch, still scared from its engagement from the Hive. Shaking my head a little I kept flying for about ten minutes before I flew over the courtyard, Star taking over as I was transmitted out and slowed myself down as I took in the huntsman school. Which looked a lot better then before as it wasn't on fire or broken.
Not wanting to get side tracked for too long I started to make my way through the school. People smiling or getting out of my way as they walk. I just smiled back as I made my way to the dorms and knocked.
Not very long after I was met with the smiling face of my little sister Ruby.
Ruby: "F/N!"
F/N: "Hey RuBYYYY!"
I was surprised as she tackled me into a hug as we fell back into the hall. Giggling to herself she hugged me tight as I patted her back.
Ruby: "I missed you."
F/N: "I can tell Rubes but I haven't been gone for that long."
Ruby: "A week is long enough for me."
Chuckling a bit I rubbed her head and messed up her hair as she got off me, the rest of her team walking out as I sat up.
Yang: "Hey Bro, how's it hanging."
F/N: "Hey, how are you yanging."
We shared a little chuckle as I rubbed the back of my head a bit before a hand was held out in front of my face. With a small smile forming I took it as my beautiful girlfriend helped me to my feet.
Blake: "Hey F/N."
F/N: "Kitten."
She blushed a little as I kissed her, she fell into it as she wrapped her arms around my neck. I moved mine over her hips as we held it for a bit. Though it was interrupted by a forced cough. As we broke it both blushing and looked over at Weiss.
Weiss: "While it's nice to see you two being happy. I assume you're here for a reason?"
F/N: "Still the same ice queen as ever."
Blake moves away from me a bit but still intertwines her hand with mine as I cleared my throat.
F/N: "Well I have good news and bad news."
Yang: "Well that's never good."
Ruby: "Yang not always."
Yang: "When it concerns our brother it does, so another invasion is coming in the next hour?"
F/N: "Haha very funny..... at least I don't think so."
Weiss: "Please tell me you're joking."
F/N: "Ah don't worry I am, but as for the news. Good news is that we might have a lead on the Red fangs location."
Blake: "Um... what's the bad news then?"
She said a little worried and tightened her grip on my hand.
F/N: "Bad news is that I'll be gone for awhile. I'm going to hunt down the Red fang and hopefully stop them, but I don't know how long that will take....
Ruby: "But you just got done working. Why don't we come with you."
F/N: "No. For one, you're still a student and Beacon is still operating. You need the education if you want to be huntresses. Second, it's way too dangerous."
Yang: "Oh come on it's not like we haven't dealt with them before."
F/N: "No, what we debt with before was the White fang without too much fallen aid. The Red fang is something much more dangerous and I'm not willing to put you guys in danger."
Blake: "Ok then."
Blake gave me a kiss on the cheek and looked into my eyes.
Blake: "Just be careful ok?"
F/N: "I will Blake, don't worry."
I kissed her forehead and gave Ruby and Yang quick hugs before the building rattled a bit.
F/N: "And that's probably my ride. Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I can."
They all gave me nods and goodbyes as I ran out of the dorms and onto my waiting ship. Taking control again I shot off from Beacon and to the awaiting Wolves ketch overhead. Ready to begin our flight to the White fang headquarters, and begin the hunt.
