The Hunter just laughed. It was light at first, but soon it gained intensity. He shook them free. His first knife ripped through Aries' armor, embedding itself into his chest. The second followed with haste, he plunged it deep into his ribs and twisted the blade. The Taken delivered a kick that could shatter bones into the knife in his chest. He kicked his right knee backwards, rendering it useless. When Aries fell forward, he kneed him in the helmet, sending him into the air a couple inches. Then he slammed his elbow into his stomach, driving him into the ground. He jerked him up by the collar and forced him to his knees. 'My name is Erik Ward, Oryx, the Taken King's second in command, General of his Taken Elinski army. I was sent here to neutralize the threat, and I'll do exactly that.' Erik held his corrupted Last Word to Aries' head. Some energy flowed into him, and his powers faded slightly. Erik was leeching his Darkness. He pulled the hammer back.
