((Going to put Rourke's and Sable's post together to make it easier. You aren't stepping on any toes, Dr.O. I'm sort of making it up on the way.Haha. Some of it was planned. This part was not.xD ))
The cross hairs of the scope were pinned right onto the other warlock that she assumed was apart of the reinforcements. Her finger brushed the trigger of the rifle with intention to not kill the opponent, but merely to stagger them. A small injury that would have not been fatal, but enough for her to make a break for it. Except, things did not go as plan. Right when she was about to squeeze the trigger, the other Warlock tossed something right at her direction. The first thought that came into mind was that it was a grenade. She raised her sniper rifle like if she was going to shoot the object from out of the air if it was an actual grenade. It ended up latching onto a section of her armor, and when it did, she lost all control.Spasms rocked through her muscles which caused for her to lose her grip of her sniper rifle. It clattered onto the ice covered ground and she dropped to her knees. She probably would have screamed or at least make some kind of noise if it wasn't the part that she had gone mute. If it was temporary and her voice would return to her or if it was permanent was one of the questions that circulated in her mind. She didn't move once she was on her knees with the only piece of evidence that the device had been working was the occasional twitch of her shoulders.Sable strained to move her head slightly up to look at the person who had done this to her.She looked vaguely familiar. She couldn't really associate a name with the face. There was a slight turn of her head, almost like if she had been looking behind the warlock at something that was on approach.This was bad. Very bad. She felt a lump form in her throat, as a Titan walked over so that he was standing beside Aurora.The Titan turned to look over at Aurora,and he lightly set a hand onto her shoulder.There was a low and soft sound of laughter that came from out of Rourke, before he had spoken."Holy...you actually did it.You caught one of them." he started to say."Nice job. There will be a nice payout once we get back to base." he explained shortly, before he removed his hand from her shoulder. The Titan walked up to Sable, as he lifted his hand and placed it right at the top of her helmet. When he had done that, her armor transitioned to that of her typical armor that consisted of the wine red robes with a small crescent moon at the collar and the Light of the Nemesis helmet.Typical gear of an original sunsinger class.
The Warlock's body tensed up with a wave of pain surging through her. She didn't cry out or anything like that.He narrowed his eyes from behind the visor of the helmet as he lifted his hand from her helmet. Possibly from out of rebellion? "You can't stay strong for long,Warlock." he said lowly."Shame we aren't able to find the other one. He probably has a wealth of knowledge. Looks like you'd do." Rourke murmured, before he lifted his head to look up at the skies. His ship was on approach.He heard the rumble of the engines while it was beginning to lower itself to the ground so that they would be able to climb aboard. He turned away from the Warlock, before he glanced over at Aurora."Remember. Quick hit in the head.Not too hard or it'll cause trauma to the brain.I need her talking in an hour." he instructed, as he started to walk over to his ship that landed in the plaza.As he was walking away, he sent a message to one of the secretaries that relayed information to the scouts and performed other duties."Send a message to Patron.I got one of the Warlocks. The other must have fled." he told the woman, and then he fixed his gaze onto the injured scout that the Awoken Warlock managed to knock out."Grab the Sunsinger once she's out.Put cuffs on her hands. Throw her in the back of the ship." he told him, with the scout nodding his head and rushing over to where Aurora was.

The Ghost glowed in brightness hearing the response from Elsa.
"Thank you, Guardians. Much appreciated." he started to tell them as he transmatted them onto the ship. Lucian then drifted over to the controls, and set the coordinates to head back to the Tower so that he could drop them off.They deserved a big break from the mission.He was about to turn towards Elsa and Anna to say something, but his optic ended up flickering. There was this awful feeling that caused for the Ghost to sink in the air.What was that? What was going on? He glanced over to the dashboard, believing that it might have some relation to the systems of the ship. That wasn't the case. The ship was in perfect and a stabilized condition. So, what could it have been? It took a few seconds for realization to strike him like a runaway train.Oh no.
"...Sable...." he said with fear laced in his voice. A foreign feeling that the Ghost never thought he had in the first place up until this very moment. He left his Guardian's side at request so that he could recruit Anna and Elsa to complete this dire mission with her instruction to do so. Hence ,why Lucian and her ship was available to utilize by Anna and Elsa for this mission. He knew that his Guardian was tough despite the conditions that might have held anybody else down. She told him that she would be at the Cosmodrome. Only Fallen and the Hive roamed those parts.Sometimes, you could even evade them by taking certain paths. She ran into trouble, and he needed to get to her as quickly as possible.The engines of the ship roared to life, as it began its trek to the Tower to drop off both Anna and Elsa.Straight from there, he was going to track her and find where his Guardian went.

Roman tilted his head back a little, hearing the fading words coming from Akari.He couldn't comprehend what she was saying, but he did hear her call out his name.A shaky breath of air left him, as he turned his head to the side and closed his eyes.What a terrible way to go.He has honestly had less terrible ways to die like taking a blast from a rocket launcher in the Crucible or making a misstep and taking a long fall.At least that was quick. He wasn't as fortunate this time.Athena flocked in front of him once he has passed to work on the revival process. The Ghost thought that it would have been a complicating process to begin with, but it wasn't as difficult as it seemed once she got to work.Once in a while, Athena would cast a quick glance over to Akari to check up on her and the surrounding environment. The Hunter looked like she was seconds away from a complete meltdown upon hearing that he needed to be revived. It was a bitter pill to swallow for the Guardians that first started out.Some didn't take it well when their comrade ended up dying on the field, but there was usually a possibility for them to be revived and spring back to action.
Usually. Sometimes it was impossible to revive a person where the Darkness thrived and flourished.In a way, this revive was unlike the others that she performed throughout his career.It was like performing a hard reset on a technological device. She was bringing him to the state in which he originally was before all the outbreaks of the Hive ascendant occurred. A time before there had not been a malevolent spirit dwelling within him.Ribbons of light rolled off his body with the threads of the Titan mark transitioning to something completely different. An unsurpassable
mark of an archaic order of Titans that served and followed the Third Empyreal magistrate that went by the name of Ouros.The hammer clipped onto the side of the mark glowed softly near the ridges with an orange red hue based on the intensity of the heat flowing off of it right now.He drew in his first shallow breath with his eyes fluttering open from behind the helmet.There was a shadow that draped over him, which caused for him to tilt his head back to see who or what it was.Akari. She was standing directly in front of him, but her back was facing him.What was she doing? Athena drifted close to the visor of her helmet, before she had spoken low to him.
"The Warlock is here....and the Titan..." Athena whispered lowly to him. It didn't seem to click right at that second, so she went further.
"The one that shot and killed Akari on Venus." With that, the Ghost vanished from out of sight.That was enough for him to recall the memory of her being gunned down.It stirred the embers amongst the ashes to become something much greater. The fury of the flame.The Titan pushed himself to stand up onto his feet.For a second or two of time, he lightly pressed his hand against Akari's back almost as if in reassurance. He dropped his hand to the side with his hand brushing over the handle of the hammer. With a quick movement, it snapped off of the side of the mark.Flickers of flame scattered off the hammer as he looked directly Illeana. "I believe I made it clear what would happen to you back on Venus." he snarled, as he stood in defense for Akari."You have brought dishonor to your names for keeping such false promises.Do not keep a promise, if you do not intend to keep it." he replied with a sharp edge in his voice. Oh, he did not wish for blood to be shed.It has already been done back on Venus."...and for that, I shall
never forgive you." he said with his free hand closing into a fist. When he closed his hand into a fist, his knuckles made a cracking sound from the motion.He kept his gaze pinned right on the Warlock almost this entire time.
