Strike 2: Absolute Zero
Europa
"Kralis, King Archon. Student of Psion. He is a rare creature indeed. The Insurgents taught him, and only him, their ways of bending the Universe to their will. As long as he lives, no one is safe. He challenged you to a fight. I recommend you win."- Variks
You fly in and land at Glacier's Edge.
"There are miles of tunnels in the glacier. Before we go in we need to figure out which way to the Colosseum of Athabasca. My reports are showing a team of Insurgents at the top of one of these skyscrapers. Let's see what they know."- Ghost
You go to the second tallest building in Hyperborea located in East Hyperborea. It obviously was once a luxury hotel.
The door is frowen shut, so you shoot it open. You are greeted with a group of Kings, kill them and make your way to the elivator.
"We haven't died in one of these yet."- Ghost
You get in and the doors shut. As you move up it plays irritating elevator music.
At one point it stops abruptly and the lights turn off.
"Give me a second... there!"- Ghost
The lights turn back on and are greeted by Fokren, Insurgent Flayer. He screeches and the elevator falls rapidly. You have seconds to kill him (His health isn't that high). Once you kill him the elevator stops abruptly, and rises slowly, playing the same irritating elevator music.
"Well that wasn't remotely terrifying."- Ghost
You reach the top and, with a peppy little "ding" the doors open to a room called "The Penthouse". It appears to be what was once a luxury sweet but now the roof has caved in. At the far end is a large computer.
"Get me into that computer."- Ghost
So you go over to it and scan it.
"Why would they leave this here unatte..."- Ghost
*BOOM!* The building shakes beneath you.
"Get out now!"- Variks
The building begins to fall (South). There is a hole in the East side of the building.
"Jump!"- Ghost
You jump out of the building, now collapsing slowly. You fall a great distance and land in a thick snowbank, barely staying alive.
The building crashes with a loud thud.
"The route to the Colosseum was unblocked. But there was another file on that computer too. Something the Kings obviously didn't want us to get into."- Ghost
"But you got the route?"- Variks
"Yes. I'm putting it into your radar now."- Ghost
You go to the Ice Mines, the radar takes you to one unusually large one. When you enter it, you follow a steep downwards spiral.
At the bottom is a room cast in a blue glow called The Temple of Ether. In the center are 3 Insurgent Flayers with Cryo shields, Merik, Prastog, and Queror. They are all communicating with a large Servertor in the middle called Furvent Prime. It is casting a hologram of Mars and Phobos beneath it.
"King Prime Servertor. It senses you.
Furvent Prime sees you, makes a loud noise and dissapears. The three Flayers run through a door in the back of the room. The last to run through, Queror, stops before he gets through, turns around, and begins to glow white. The walls do as well and begin to push closer together. Kill him before you get crushed. (he doesn't fight back)
Once you kill him the walls stop moving and you get a debuff called "EMP". None of your guns work. You proceed through that door to the next room, where Prastog, Insurgent Flayer is waiting.
He attacks you with his Psionic blasts and you can only attack him with your abilities.
Once you kill him the debuff is removed and your guns work again.
You reach the last room. It is significantly larger than the others and completely baron. In the center is Merik (invincible). He laugh but his voice is Eliksni. He begins to grow and his name changes to Kralis, King Archon.
"Did he just... change shape?"- Ghost
"Guardian, the full powers of the Psions are unknown. If they taught Kralis their secrets, he possesses unknown abilities. Do not underestimate him."- Ikora
Above him is a semi- transparent Servertor connected to his shield, which cannot be damaged.
This "Ghost Servertor" seemingly cannot be damaged either. All bullets, grenades, etc. pass right through.
Kralis stomps his foot and the floor shifts. Parts lift up, creating tracks similar to bobsled tracks. The back door opens up and two Dregs come out riding Pikes and one Vandal comes out riding a Heavy Pike.
You kill the Dregs or Vandal and take their pikes. All the bobsled paths lead to ramps. You drive up the ramp and blow through the Ghost Servertor, which dissolves into nothing. You land on the opposing ramp. When the Servertor is destroyed in the bottom of the screen it says "Ghost Shield Breaks".
Kralis' shield breaks and you can damage him for 15 seconds (Presumably with the Pikes if you wish) There is a little counter in the bottom labeled "Shields Broken".
Once the 15 seconds are up Kralis lifts up his hands and it says "Kralis summons his Ghost Servertors" and 2 Ghost Servertors appear above him. There are only so many ramps and you may have to do that barel roll- strafe to hit them.
Kralis' shields go down for another 15 seconds and you damage him. This cycle continues, each time getting an extra Ghost Servertor (max is 8 though).
Once Kralis reaches about health, he will clap and it will say at the bottom "The Universe Warps to the Archon's Will" and room turns purple and black. The ramps starts spinning in a circle. Along with that every once in a while a Pike will glow, anybody on it will get the debuff "Unstable Arc Core" and it will blow up in a few seconds.
The fight continues like that, the whole time Kralis hitting you with Psionic Blasts and his Duel Wield Ice Pistols. If at any point a Pike is destroyed, the door in the back will open and let through another one (of its kind. So if it was a Heavy Pike that is what would come out). You have to kill it's driver and take it again.
Once you kill Kralis the room returns to normal.
"Kralis is dead, but Kings will not give up. There will always be another Archon always another Kell. Do you see now what we must do as House Judgement? We must bring order to the chaos. Stop the endless quarreling. It will take time but for now, good work. House Kings have one less weapon to use."- Variks
Possible Strike- Specific Drops could include:
Legendary Sniper- The Knowing. It is the same arctype as Praedeath's Revenge and looks like a gold and black Shadow of Veils.
Helm of Prastog- Warlock Helmet. It looks like, well, his helmet.
Description- What would you give to know the Universe's secrets?
Exotic Perk- The Hidden: incoming melees jam your enemies weapons for a short time.

Except a strike helmet wouldn't be exotic.
