Destiny: Black Strom Chapter 2

A Day without Breaks

This story is a fan made story based off first shooter game Destiny

“You crashed- you crashed a Cabal Warship into an abandoned City on Mars, do you have any god damn idea what you have DONE!!!” That’s Zavala yelling at Felax who was standing right in front of him on the other side of the table with a person standing by the door, all inside an empty boxes room. Felax is sitting in an uncappable chair in front of a table tucked in and leaning his head in his hand, elbows on the table while he watches Zavala walk left and right yelling at his face. Zavala is a Titan Guardian and the Vanguard Commander, he runs most all kinds of operations to do anything to protect the last haven of Earth for all humanity, The Last City. He is a tall man in shiny armour (apart from this left shoulder pad is a big, small shield plate pad, which is red and a black phoenix symbol on it and his skin is blue along with his bright blue eyes and a bolded head.

His skin is blue because he is a different race called the Awoken.

The Awoken are humanoid with blues or any cold colour types of skin and with luminescent eyes with glowing irises effect. Felax didn’t get to know much about the Awoken when he was resurrected to bursar Universe, he knows that their descendants were once’s human, until the collapse happen when they were trying to escape some dark entire, something about the Distributary, survived and becoming blue. He even heard rumours about them having ability or power about experiencing visions in form of dreams and other supernatural power which Felax believes it all a bunch of nonsense. Especially the fact that one being interrogated by a bolded head one right now and wasting his time.

“For the hundred time” Moaned Felax who was getting really pissed of his and pull a finger at him hidden under the table, neither him, nor the other person stand by the door. “I didn’t bloody crashed it alright, the thing went down by something else. Better yet, It just an abandoned-”

“Then what caused it, itself!” Zavala deepen his voices ton interrupting Felax.

“I told you, I don’t know” Answered Felax placing both on the table. “I was in engine room, fighting my way off that tin can for one second and the next the whole placed blowed up.

“You’re not answering our questions.” Said a person who was next to the door, walking up to the table. “You’re only going to make thing worse, now what where you-”

“What was I doing on the ship? Taking out a wanted Cabal target.” Interrupted Felax. “Why? Because that’s doing my job. What happen while I was still on the ship? Got attack by Eliksni Raiding party and the Cabal, trying to get off the tin can (meant the ship). How did the ship exploded and crashed? I don’t Bloody know it is either one of the two races that did it. How many times do we have to go through this?”

“Matter how long you’re going to start telling the truth”

“Telling-….. you think I’m lying!”

“Like the other times you did, then yes!!!” Slamming her hand on the table, giving him an aggressive look into Felax.

“That’s enough” said Zavala stopping this competition before things got ugly. “Maybe you should leave this to me Ikora”

Ikora Rey, the Warlock Vanguard, and leader of a secret team call the Hidden, which Felax doesn’t know what it is. But what Felax knows about Ikora is that she was a Legend in the Crucible a long time ago, Apparent of the most power guardian every (Which Felax forgot this name) kick him out of the city after The Speaker order her to for him. She and Felax hate each after what Felax’s did in a strike operation a long time ago, but that is a story for another time.

Ikora wears a purple trench robe coat, a different grey fabric stich on the shoulder and neck parts with a long blue badge on her that goes from the front of her left shoulder to her back and orange in the inside of her coat. She also wears grey-brown long jeans, boats same colour, a metal mark bond on her right shoulder which glow a light purple symbol hover gram has a special big gold coin tide through a rope over her neck. Has bold short brown hair and eyes.

“His Idiot just crash an into an abandoned City and destroy 60% of lost Golden day history and resources” Ikora snapped at Zavala

“So what and here a better question why am I’m in trouble anyway! Said Felax stand straight up out of his chair. “I only bloody destroy a abandoned history trash, curiously even after what happen in that strike operation-”

Ikora instantly destroys the table with her hand placed flat on the table and then spark of light came out under her hand with a powering focus, like something impacted it at high speed. Her eyes sight straight at Felax with a fearsome look into his face, but Felax did not finch, not even a tiny bit.

“Sit Down!” Ikora voice grow to deeper with frustration, looking like she preparing to kill him and be Felax prospective she might do it “Before I break every bone in your-”

“Alright that enough” interrupted by a familiar face to Felax walking into the room with a cane in his left hand, coming to the rescue with another familiar face his warlock assistant behind him. As Felax thought he was about to get his hands dirty, with his fisted ready when she attacks.

“Shade, this is an ongoing Vanguard investigation” said Zavala facing away from Felax to Shade.

“Oh, I know my good sir, which is way I make this a quick one.” Said Shade.

Shade Hamkara is a gentleman Businessman who sell weapons with modification, building working robots that can do jobs that no one like doing and runs a power company that helps most of the city with his amazing new power sources that does not create carbon dioxide (but well get back to that later) and has a British accent. Shade was here to help Felax get out of this because he works for him and that Felax in a program to help Guardians who are having a hard time getting by in their career as Guardians like Felax.

Shade wears an old dark blue long Trench coat with a white dragon printed on his left shoulder sleeve, button up. It has two straps on the right side of his lower chest and has a V shaped to show his black t-shirt underneath the cloak. Wears snazzy black jeans, black business shoes, a black noir rancher hat and a sliver scarf around his neck with the long bits looped together like a noose. His cane was pitch black apart from the big pearl silver parts on the tip and a bit in the centre of the cane, but the handle is a big clear quartz crystal that’s the shape and size of a small ball. He has blue eyes and brown long-short hair which he bows tied on this back.

“Why do you always keep breaking the table, like the other times I come in helping one of my fellow Guardians out.” said Shade as he stops in front of the two Vanguard leaders, put his cane in front between his two legs, with his left hand on top of the cane and his right hand on top of his other hand.

“Don’t mock me Shade” said Ikora sounding little bit less annoyed. “I already had enough with Hunter who can’t do their job properly, without breaking something else in the proses!!!”

“Cayde-6 ruined another one of your-”

“Nova” said Shape stopping her before she makes thing worst. “Please don’t go that far down love.”

“Yes….Shade” moan Nova, sounding like she was shutting down.

Nova-12, Shade most trusted assisted and an ex-Vanguard officer. Felax doesn’t know much about what happen between her and the Vanguard. But all he does know is that it about the most brutal Strike operation on Venus a long time ago. Whatever happen to her that day was unknown because Felax was always being put in the dark of all new information all the time when it comes to dangerous threatens humanity. Also, Felax and Nova are exactly friends, nor enemy’s but they just don’t see eye to eye and have lot of arguments most of the time. But she does help Felax some of the time, but mostly it’s because Shade asks her to.

 Nova had circle shape-based head, her eyes are glow red, two metal antenna curving on both side as ears and the metal is painted primary neon oranges and secondary dark grey. Her long Warlock robes is dark orange with a dark blue warlock symbol on both sides of the flaps of the robes, flat cured armour shoulder pads same colour, long black plants, and a bond with a upside down V around her right shoulder.

Nova is an Exo, a robot to be precise well not really. Exo were once humans’ ones until they were foolish enough to think they can achieve immortality but turning themselves into life less machines where they always must rest set their memories. They were built to fight some forgotten war during the golden age times and during the great collapse they have be rebooted all their memories of their about themselves and their creation. Everything else about their origin point and where they were created was lost in history ever. Now days Humanity live beside Exo and see them as people as like the Awoken and can also be risen by ghost and become Guardians to. However, that works.

“Anyhow I’m here to-”

“I already know why you’re here” Interrupted Zavala with his serious faces going on at Shade. “Like the other few times that Felix came into this room”

“Umm sir, Its actually pro-”

“SIT DOWN!” Zavala turns back at Felax, say it not loud, but in a deeper voice. Felax swallowed, shocked after hearing him in that kind of voice and didn’t say a word, sat down back in the chair as he was told.

“Anyway, as I was saying” Zavala Looking at Felax, making sure that he doesn’t stay quiet and turn back at Shade. “His Guardian just cost us almost the lives of researcher who were looking into that buried city to know more of our enemies before this idiot crashed a F###en Cabal Warship into it!”

“That was just by chances lad” committed Shade not being afraid by both Zavala and Ikora integrated faces.

“By Chances?!” Question Zavala with his left eye brawl up, while Ikora stands up against the wall keeping a good eye on Zavala composition with Shade and Felax, making sure that he remains quiet.

“You heard me well. Let’s say that this young gentleman did blowed up the ship, which by the looks of him he didn’t cause it. The ship was spotted in orbit at the time before the ship was going down right. So, what are the chances for that the warship was going to crashed into this city you mention earlier?”

Zavala didn’t know what to think about what to say after hearing Shade word. Felax made a hidden smirk while watching Shade outsmarting the Commanding Vanguard leader and even Nova made a robotic smirk, with her right hand covered her mouth. She might have been an advents AI machine, but Felax can tell by her expiation.

“No!” said Ikora stopping Zavala before he could say something and Felax was back to being miserable after having he thought that this pointless interrogation was finally over. But by the looks of Ikora aggressive look, he wasn’t getting away that easy as she walks away from the wall and facing Shade, Zavala, and Nova.

“You might have been right about the Warship being an unfortunate accident.” She stopped right in the centre of the room next to the destroyed table, then points at Felax with her left hand and faced him over her shoulder. “But he has been causing so many problems ever since he came to this city and no matter wherever he goes, he just going to mess everything up. Like that time where he crashed a speeder drunk into a statue that’s been up since the city been built, he….”

Felax went into stasis mood, not listening Ikora’s speech about how Felax keeps messing things up and her long listed about of all his failure, most of them wasn’t even his fault. Felax wanted so hard to beat her up, he wanted to be the one who has power over them all and being respected for once. But he can’t cause Felax knew that he only going to make things even worsted for himself no matter what he does. Felax thought about what happen to him before he woke up in that broken elevator gasping for air, just keep him from hearing what going on in the room. That voice has been bugging him ever since he left Mars, who was she, why does it sound familiar but don’t remember it. Could it be possible….

“Felix Starborn” said Zavala calling out Felax name wrong in a calmer voice this time, waking him from his stasis mind world. Felax looked up realising that Ikora Rey was no longer in the integration room shouting bad things about him and just seeing Zavala, Shade, and Nova in the room. Felax felt like he been out cold for a long time, because of his stiffed neck that’s killing him. But some tells him that Zavala wasn’t going to give him any good news, if it was good news there probably a catch just around the corner.

“Your free to go”

Call it.

“What’s the catch?” asked Felax trying fix his stiffed neck.

“Not so fast Guardian, you think you can-…. Sorry what” said Zavala going to make an aggressive speech in Felax’s face, before realising he said something unexcepted.

“Every time you tell something good to someone after they done something wrong…. which I didn’t do. You always have that kind of face that you have a catch behind it, to make them pay for wasting your time.”

“Is it really that obsessive?” Asked Zavala looking speechless.

“YES!!!” Said everyone in the room.

“No defence friend, but you do have that type of face for bad news” smirked Shade on the left side of his face rising his left eyebrow up. Shade always does that, said that he makes him feel more like a gentleman but really it makes him a bit more wield.

“Anyway, back to the point” face straight back at Felax who’s repairing for the worst. “You can go, but with a costed. You must prove yourself that you can be trusted responsibly to all others to the city, or we be focusing you to be banish from the city just like Osiris.”

“Understood Commander, give me a month of doing labor-”

“You have until Guardian Day” Interrupted Zavala, saying those word gave a shocking chill in Felax’s body with his eyes were wide open.

“Guardian Day!!!…. That’s less than a week away mate! How in hell am I going to provide my responsibilities to you guys in that short amount of time!”

“Then I suggest you figure it out yourself” Zavala formed a fisted and suddenly turn create a super fist of electricity around it, while giving Felax a hard angry looking stair in his face. After a few seconds, Zavala release his fist away and along with the electric power that was surrounding it. “Your free to go now, get out before I throw you out myself.”

Then turns away from Felax, walk straight through Shade and Nova and storms at of the room. The second Zavala left the room, Shade slowly moves his head to faced Felax in the face with a little bit pissed off face.

Felax walked up to Shade. “Well that could have gone worst, Thanks boss.”

“Bold it right their dear sir” Shade sounded a bit nice but had a bad mood in it pointing his walking cane at his face. “Your still not out of the woods yet old cap, remember your still in a little pickle.”

Felax felt a bit bad after hearing his words coming from him and shocked after seeing him point this cane in his face. Felax was about to say sorry to Shade, until….

“Come lad, let’s walk the fences before you end up in another buzzard scenario again.” Said Shade puts his cane away from Felax face, turn around and started walking out of the room. “We’ll discuss more when we get to my offices”

“You really F### up his time” said Nova going Felax a robotic smirk.

“Shut up, mate!!” Felax pushed her out of his way and stormed out of the room. “This day just never ends”

Nova waited in the for a bit after Phantom left, then she left the room and catch on to Phantom and Shade.

*

An hour later Felax was in the waiting room near Shades offices, looking through big window screens down below the Last City while Shade and Nova take care a few clients of there about their contract and shipments orders.

The Last City is the last haven left on Earth and the only place that the Traveler can still protect. The city which big as Melbourne City of Australia (Well that what Felax think), has huge walls around the city to protect out world threat and the remains of The Traveler floating above in the centre of the city in the sky. This City was built over hundreds of years ago during the dark ages when Warlords and Rogue Guardians form free after the Collapse, robbing, stealing, living in the wilds, killing….you get the picture. Humans, Awokens, Exo’s and Guardians travelled far and wide to the Traveler and they started to shelter beneath it, believing it will protect them. In time for and me people started showing up here and they advance this once flatten land into what Felax before him, a Utopia City.

Felax was only looking up at the Traveler, the dead god who sacrifices itself to save humanity from the blink of excision and created the Ghosts in it dying breath to guardians. He was thinking about many things that happen today and all the misfortunes he been having ever since he been risen. Felax stood there saying nothing for since he’s been waiting, until he decided to talk to the Traveler.

“G’day mate how you’re doing” Said Felax feeling a bit talking to a big dead sphere god in the sky. “Myself? Not going well. Cause I got myself into trouble again and this is one of those times that wasn’t my bloody fault! Like that one time where they fought, I was shipping 2000kg of cocaine around the city, which took two hours to realise that it was 2000kg of sherbets and I was shipping to a candy ship to gain a bit of glimmer, also trying to be nice for someone and they threaten me that if they ever see me…. well, you get the idea.”

Felax stood they quietly for a moment facepalmed his face to the glass, filling so confuse of everything around him and angry of all the people blaming him for everything he done to do the right thing, twice as worst when he gets it wrong.

“I just…. I just don’t…. know what to do” Muttering Felax unsure with himself. “It like whenever do, I make thing worst for everyone around me and cause destruction wherever I go. I try to be like the other Guardians who saved countless lives and be a hero. But they just look at me like I’m nothing to them but trash and say things like I’m not suppose or a mistake to be a guardian in the first places.”

Felax formed a fisted and lightly punch the glass, because he didn’t want to add another thing to Shade bill list. He felt so tired and weak, like weight is pushing down on him as he closed his eyes tightly taking slow deep breaths.

“Why did you bring me back, why did you choose to be a guardian” Open his eyes, looking back at the Traveler. “You brought me back for a reason, at least you can do is tell me. What should I do to prove them all wrong about me? How can I get through this? And…..what is my Destiny?”

Felax waited for a bit hoping he could see a sign or anything from the Traveler that would help him guide him into the right direction. But after a minute and saw nothing, just still the same view he been looking at for the past half an hour he stood there.

“Fine, I figure it out myself” Pushed himself away from the glass and took two steps away from it with frustration on his face. “It’s not like I been talking to you several times before!”

Second after he had his quick outburst, the doors flung open to Shade with Nova behind them and looked a bit concerned about him.

“Shade finish talking to Lakshmi-2, he now ready for you to come in” walks out of the doors and look at Felax looking stressful. She way a bit concern about him “Hey, are you ok?”

“Ummmm…ye-yeah, I’m fine, just a bit tired that’s all. One hell of a day hasn’t it” Said Felax quickly sorting out his hair out, trying to look ok-ish.

“For all of us at least, because of yo-” she stops because she knew that Felax is already going through hell now and the last thing he needs is more discomfit and stress as he already is. “Sorry about that didn’t mean to…. Come on he’s excepting you.”

Felaxs nodded, taking a deep breath, and walked in the through the doors, passes Nova and enter Shades office, while thinking about how screwed he is in and how mad Shades really is?

“Oh Karama” muttered Felax
