Cayde-6

The male peeked his head out from behind the wall, scanning the enemies to an estimate. The grippers of his jaw tighten at the number outcome, causing his metaphorical skin to crawl. "Guardian, we are way outnumbered, and I'm running low on ammo." Cayde turns to the hunter, only to be taken back from the injury on her side. Warning lights flash in his mind, and its evident in his eyes as he summons his ghost. He turns to the little light hovering above his hand, his voice suddenly serious. "Ghost, call the ship." The small light nods before disappearing in blue light, the sounds of his ship engine roaring in the distance. Cayde-6 grabs the guardian roughly by her arm, pulling her back behind the wall just as the boss releases a heavy shot aimed directly at her. With his other hand, he lowers her gun. "It's time to leave, whether you like it or not." He says sternly, "If its glimmer I can compensate you, if its engrams I have a few in my vault but we are leaving."

(No worries! Just take your time. I hope your mother feels better soon.)

Nikki heard his words, but she didn't care. She didn't care if they were out numbered. She wanted to finish the mission. That was all that she wanted to do. Leaving was just not a option for her. " But, I need to finish it. " She said. It was like she didn't hear his words at all. " No! We can't go! " She yelled in protest. She yelped in surprise when he had grabbed her. The wound still ache on her side as the pain wouldn't go away what so ever. She stared at the vanguard in front of her as she felt her back against the wall. Nikki knew better then arguing with a higher rank, but she didn't care. She was dertime to finish it. " I can't. " She said, as she attempted to get out of his grasp. It was hard to do so with her wounds right now. It was hard also because he had a hold of her arm also. " Just go without me. " She said.

( Thanks! Yeah, she is having surgery today so she won't be home. Also, Nikki can be very stubborn when she wants too. xD You would think she would listen to him sense he is a Vanguard. )

Cayde-6

He let out an irritated cry at her words, refusing to let go of her as she attempted to pull away. "Why don't you stop being hard headed and take a look at yourself!" He raises his voice, but calms himself for a moment and takes a deep breath. "Listen, your armor has been breached, and you don't have a choice in the matter. I am your superior and I am ordering you to withdraw." He glances at her ghost, "I'll have my ghost send you the code to my ship, the two of you are boarding with me. We can come back to reclaim your ship later. You're to protect your guardian." In the distance, his ship can be heard approaching, its shining exterior glinting in the distance as it speeds towards them. "Setting coordinates towards the tower, notifying your fire team of the situation, Cayde-6." His ghost informs him from the ship.

Nikki seemed to stop when the male yelled at her. She looked down as no words came from her. " Fine. " The hunter said as she didn't look at him. He was right. If she didn't get hello now, she would be dead. Probably be killed by the boss. Her ghost hovered above her shoulder. " Of course. " He said. The Ai then tuned his attention to his guardian as she didn't say anything. Instead, he noticed that she was looking down. Not paring to the Vangaurd what so ever. A gasp sounded from the ghost when he noticed his guardian start to fall forward. " Uh, Cayde 6. I think she is going to pass out, or I believe she just fainted. " He said. A sigh came from the ghost before he looked at Cayde before looking back at his guardian.

Cayde-6

Before the ghost could say it, Cayde caught the hunter by her shoulders as he noticed her begin to fall forward, letting out a bit of a grunt as he did so. He sighs, shaking his head as the propelled air from his ship begins to cause a whirlwind around them. "Take us up." He tells his ghost as he wraps her arm around his shoulder, carefully lifting her up bridal style with little effort. Behind the wall, he can hear the vex closing in around them, their shots now being aimed towards his ship. He silently prayed that the boss wouldn't shoot them down as they were summoned on board, glimmering light engulfing them and the ghost before dropping them in the cockpit. Setting the hunter in the passenger seat and buckling her up, he takes a seat in the drivers spot, his ghost and him working together as they quickly program the ship to head to the tower. He glances down, gazing in fear as the Vex leader prepares a blast. Just as it is released, the ship swerves to the side and barrels up into the atmosphere, though the lights flash and fail momentarily, the left wing taking minor damage from the blast as it just barely missed. His 'heart' was beating quick as he fell back in his seat in relief, glad they made it out safely as they left the planet and initiated warp speed back to home base.

Nikki was out cold, but the ghost was worried. He wanted his guardian to be ok. If anything happened to her, her ghost wouldn't be so happy. At least they were going to the tower instead of having the hunter risk her life. Once they were on boa rd the ghost looked over at his guardian. " At least we are getting out of here. I'm sorry that Nikki wasn't listening. She can get stubborn when she wants too. It's hard to convince her, but you managed to it through her. I must thank you for that. " He said, as he turned his attention to Cayde6. He hovered over to Nikki to keep watch of her. He glanced at her wounds knowing that she wouldn't be able to do anything extreme after she was patched up. " Just to let you know, once she is able to leave the medic room, she will likely try to do missions already. Just giving you a warning. " He said. Without another word, the AI disappeared from sight.

Cayde-6

The male rubbed at his forehead stressfully, nodding to the other's ghost as he thought about all the complications today would bring. Part of him wanted to tell the ghost that it would no longer be his problem once he returned to the tower, but he decided to hold back. Glancing at her, he hesitated before leaning over to her and putting both hands on the sides of her head. Carefully, he clicked off her helmet and set it on the floor beside her, pausing to analyze her features before returning his attention to the console. He lightly clears his throat, glancing at the Hunter beside him before turning off auto fly on his ship, realizing they were nearing the tower. He sighs softly, mumbling something along the lines of "This is what happens when...." before carefully docking his ship.

He stiffens up as he notices a very displeased Zevala closing in on his ship, marching angrily down the deck with an equally displeased Ikora at his side. Cayde-6 lets out a very, very long exhale before rolling his shoulders and popping open the door to his ship, standing up with an open armed greeting. Zevala! Ikora! Hey, so now before you start to ground me I'll have you know I was actually going out to save this guardian, aaaand...Well, I think with the condition she's in maybe we can, ya know, hold off until the punishing for later? Because oh boy lemme tell ya! There we were, surrounded by the Vex with a huge, i mean huge, boss with these crazy lasers shooting at us and--"

(Do you want to do either of them?)

[XxBarricadeXx]

( I can play Ikora. )

Nikki's ghost still remained quiet as he didn't say a word. He just kept close to his guardian as he watched over her. When Cayde removed her helmet, her black shirt hair was viable. Along with the scar that ran down her right. The hunter was still breathing which was a good thing. It ment that she wa still alive, and hanging on. Still, she would be out for awhile, and would need time to recover. The wounds she had wouldn't heal in a day. The ghost seem to appear when he heard the sound if the Ikroa. She didn't seem to happy by the sound of voice. The AI remained out of sight, but listened to the conversation.

Ikroa walked next to Zavala. The look on her face defiantly wasn't happiness. She narrowed her eyes at the former hunter a before clearing her throat. " I understand that, but you shouldn't have left. Especially without telling us. I'm not really sure. Honestly, I don't think you should be punished later. Especially after what you did. What do you think Zavala? " She asked, as she looked at him. Ikroa wanted to hear what he had to say about it. She glanced at his ship where the guardian was before looking back at Cayde. Her hands remained behind her back as she stared at him.

Zavala

The awoken male frowns, crossing his arms as he stares down Cayde-6. The expression on his face showed just how furious he was at that moment, disappointed more than anything that his fireteam member would be so immature and childish as to play hooky the way he had and leaving them worried without a single word. He remains quiet for a moment before glancing at the ship. "You said an injured guardian, correct?" He says demanding. He shakes his head, "Despite you deserving immediate punishment for sneaking away before one of the most important meetings this week, I believe we ought to take care of our people before we give punishment." He says, turning to Ikora. "We take care of our people first," He turns to Cayde, "Then we take care of our people."


Cayde-6

The male lets out a breath he had been holding in, followed by a sheepish chuckle. "Sir yes sir, am I right? no? I'll stop." He says, not even receiving a smile. He hums before twirling around. "Oh, right. Guardian." Pushing his cape behind him, he moves to the Hunter sitting unconscious in his passenger seat. "Ghost!" He calls, moments later his light appearing beside him. Before his companion could ask, the hunter drops Nikki's helmet ontop of him. "Here, carry this." He says as the ghost struggles to remain floating, letting out a strangled cry of surprise. "C-Cayde!" It yelps, shaking as it brings itself higher off the ground, struggling to leave the ship without bumping into anything as Cayde unbuckles the guardians seat belt. The exo carefully slips his hands around the human, lifting her from the seat and turning around. He carefully steps over the lip of the ship, using the smooth surface to slide down to Zavala and Ikora with a thud as his heavy boots hit the ground, his knees nearly buckling beneath him from the extra weight.

Ikroa looked at Cayde as she listened to what Zavala said. She wasn't sure what the guardian wounds even looked like. From what Cadye said before, she amused the female hunter didn't look so good. She gave a nod to Zavala before looking at Cayde 6. The former warlock looked at the guardian that Cayde6 carried in his arms. Her wounds didn't look so good at all. " Man, you guys went through hell. " She said, noticing the scratches on the hunter's armour. The hunter was lucky to still be alive. She noticed her ghost hover above Cayde 6 shoulder as he looked down at his guardian. Ikroa's ghost appeared next to her to look at them. " Let them know we have a injured guardian coming. " She said. The ghost slightly nodded before alerting them about Nikki. " Well, the good thing is your still alive, and along with the hunter. " She said, as she gave a small smile.
