[b][i]TWELVE HOURS AFTER VALLEY OF KINGS INCIDENT/ HIVE FLEET APPROACHING SATURN[/i][/b]
Grixis stood at the edge of the massive room at the front of Sarkon's Dreadnaught. He wasn't the only one here however. Molkir, Vôlik-Dal, Calvik, Men'kaar, Stronix, even Sarkon was here, all of them looking out at the gas giant that was Saturn. But Saturn was only the location, what silently drifted in it's rings was why they were here.
There it was, in the center of circular nothingness, was the dead king, Oryx's Dreadnaught. It was laughable how events turned out. The First Navigator, the mighty Taken King, killed by the same six Guardian fireteam that had slain Crota. Pitiful excuses for gods, both of them.
The Dreadnaught later came to a stop above the edge of the circular clearing around Oryx's Dreadnaught, while the Hive cruisers surrounded both ships.
A deep chuckle came from Sarkon. "[i]Go, my Hand. The time has come."[/i]
A second later, two portals opened up behind them. One was his Hive-like jumpship, fully repaired and ready to sail the void. The other was a Tomb Ship. He was Transmatted into [i]Extinction Event,[/i] while Molkir and the Blades were transported into the Tombship. When they were ready, both ships tore open another two portals, and entered.
He was going to enjoy what came next.

[i][b]ORYX'S DREADNAUGHT/ HULL BREACH[/b][/i]
Two portals opened up at the threshold of the open wound of the Dreadnaught made by the crashed Cabal warship. Yet another example how disorganized the Blood of Oryx had become. Pathetic.
He, Molkir, and his four Blades materialized onto the battle-torn ground of the giant room. He lead on with his cleaver in hand and his party behind him, Molkir hovering to his right and Stronix making thunderous steps.
Cabal bodies littered the area, and the Hive currently present looked in their direction. One look, and they knew just what came aboard their ship. They all drew their weapons, black orbs quickly spawning in the Taken blight.
Not a second went by when Tomb Ships appeared behind his group and deployed the gray and blacked armored Hive of the Wrath of Sarkon. Also, several black and white portals appeared in between the them and their Hive units. From four of them came four of many Reborn commanders, the rest an array of Reborn units. Sepiks Prime, Phogoth, The Nexus, and Valus Ta'aurc, all Reborn and amplified with their new abilities.
And then all hell broke loose. Blood of Oryx clashed against Wrath of Sarkon, Taken against Reborn. It would only take minutes until the entire Dreadnaught was filled with the fighting.
But as for them, they kept marching on, cutting down any and all Taken or Hive that got in their way. Their concern was not with control. No, they were here for something different. They marched on deeper into the ship, never breaking stride. Soon after, the entire ship echoed with war.

Alice dashes through the Dreadnaught in chase of Grixis and his army. But while running past, jumping through the air, she notices a new enemy in the fight. By the looks of it, Vex. Alice calls out towards them. "Hey! Who-ever your leader is, tell them that the main fight isn't here! It's with Grixis, he's trying to get deeper into the Dreadnaught! So get in there and follow him!" And with that she swirls around in a flash of cloak and resumes her chase on Grixis.

[b]xerox nods as two of the vex disappear, going to get quasis. Xerox begins to run after the woman, trying to catch up[/b]

Alice rounds the bend of a hall-way walk, almost colliding into a group of Taken. But instead of fighting them, she simply jumps over them and increases her speed.

[b]xerox summons a shotgun and mows down the taken in her way, not stopping[/b]

A group of Reborn come out of a room to her right, a Phalanx, two Psions and a Legionnaire. While running, Alice pulls a sword of Solar Light out of its sheath, then runs straight into them, slicing through the Psions Solar shield with ease. The Phalanx powers up its nova bomb shield, but Alice leaps into the air to avoid it, switches swords in mid air, pulling out an Arc one, then stabbing it down, stabbing straight through the Phalanx's helmet. The Psion and Legionaire both open fire on Alice. She pulls the Reborn Phalanx's shield off and rushes forward, using the Shield to protect her. She makes contact with the Psion, knocking it back so Alice finishes them both by spinning around and sending a lightning storm at both of them, shocking them both to death. By that time, Verox caught up to her. Alice asks her a question. "You know the ship better than I do, so where is Grixis heading?"
-
"No clue, I didn't get a good look at where he was going. Probably to the core."
-
"Then that's where we'll head. Let's go." Alice dashes off after Grixis once more. [spoiler]Let's go off of Imminent's post above, as to not confuse.[/spoiler]

Leech walks out of the Throne room, into the Darkened Hallway leading back to the main chambers of the Dreadnaught. The door closes behind her, but she doesn't stop, planning to make as much distance as possible away from Garuud's rage. She rounds the corner and is greeted to a sight of the Hive she just met a while ago. "Oh, hello, short time no see." Leech says.
-
"Hello again, your name is Alice, right? Or should I call you by what has taken you over?"
-
"What do you mean 'Taken'?" She asks with a smile as she approaches. "Oryx hasn't Taken me."
-
"Oh no, I would easily tell. You can't hide your power from me, [i]Leech[/i]."
-
"Leech? Who's Leech?" Her eyes go wide and a he checks her body. "Wait, do I have a leech on me? Where?"
-
"Hmmmm..... You're either a good faker or I'm talking with the real Alice."
-
"...or maybe I [i]am[/i] Alice, could be that one too." Leech looks back up at the Hive Lady before her. "I never actually caught your name. Since you know mine, can I get yours?"
-
"Xerox, taken's hand. I fight against the loyalists."
-
"Taken's Hand? You mean you fight for Oryx? And who's the Loyalists?"
-
"Oh no, I gained that title due to my ability to summon items and take things for a limited amount of time. And the loyalists serve oryx."
-
"Ah-huh, then why fight against the Wrath of Sarkon if they plan on destroying the Travelers light or what not?"
-
"Because I believe in balance. My body is proof of that." [b]she notices that the veins on xerox's body pump black and white blood through her. A mixture between light and darkness[/b]
-
"Ah, you control both. Very nice." She looks away from the arm quickly. "Well, don't worry about Sarkon. They are in there getting wrecked by a friend of mine named Garuud, if your wondering."
-
"That's good to hear, my men are holding the rest of them off in the meantime."
-
"Totally random question..." Alice starts. "...but what is your opinion of this 'Leech' that you speak of?"
-
"It usually kills its host after a bit. It is nothing but a intelligent parasite."
