I know, Creative Title. I just can't think of anything else that won't spoil the plot. Well... My name wouldn't be Splashback if I didn't come back. (Wink, wink.) Anyway, prepare your emotions, this might be a bit of a tear-jerker. [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/205694009/0/0]Triple Threat Titans Chapter Index[/url] **This is from Chase's view** [b]"What you just said, were you serious?"[/b] Kyra asked Sarah. "I was just messing around with you. But in all seriousness, Crota's Presence stops health regeneration," Sarah replied. "I got a Ward ready, blessing, weapon, or armor?" I asked. "Weapons, I think we'll run bubble train. JJ, you should run blessing," Sarah said. "Got it," he replied. "Alright, here's the game plan," Sarah explained, "We can't deal damage to Crota. Not until someone has the Sword. So Mark's gonna kill the Swordbearer, take the sword, and jump on to this thing. When he gets up there, we fire all our rockets at Crota. When he kneels, Mark will come out and slam the Sword down on where Crota's a**hole would be. After three hits, Mark, you'll have to run away. Then we'll kill adds, rinse and repeat. Got it?" Nobody objected. Everyone ran to the crystal in the middle. Crota was summoned. The barriers went down, and a crap ton of adds started rushing. We cleared both sides, than ran out. "Don't shoot the Knights camping up there," Sarah said pointed to the top right and top left corners. Mark ran down to the middle. We did exactly what Sarah ordered. JJ and I dropped bubbles and we did maximun damage to Crota. Mark ran back inside, and Sarah we followed Sarah in. Crota moves to the left side. We all just camped inside and killed the thrall. Crota moved back to the middle. We repeated the cycle once, until things began to spiral out of control. Two hallowed ogres charged down into the middle below. "I can't get the Sword with two ogres on my tail," the Exo panicked, "I'm just gonna shoot them." Mark pulled out his Ice Breaker and shot the ogres. He kept them busy. Kyra activated her Radiance, "Grenade Spam, coming in hot." She threw solar grenade, after solar grenade at the ogres. I saw JJ make a run for the Sword bearer. He shot a rocket at it, and took the sword. "Screw it. Fire at Crota!" Blake yelled. I brought out my rocket launcher and started firing. Crota keeled. "James, attack now," Sarah barked. "What?" he asked. "Attack Crota with the sword!" He charged into battle. Crota stood back up. What was seemingly a speed run of chaos, was now slowing down. We all stared at Crota and JJ in horror as Crota swung his sword like a baseball bat, and smacked JJ straight toward the wall to our right. JJ's body fell to the ground, limp. Everything in the room stopped- even Crota- in confusion. Everyone in the fireteam ran to JJ. Sarah removed his helmet, and gasped. She took off her helmet. We all watched her. "James?" she whispered hopefully. The Titan did not respond. "James?" she whispered louder. Her voice filled with pain and fear. Again, no response. Sarah realised that JJ might be dead. "James!" she cried. She wept loudly. The tensions were growing around us. I shed a couple tears, Blake's anger grew, Kyra trying not to cry. Mark hung his head in shame and sorrow. Crota laughed. He cackled. He spoke, "Now I could crush you all like little moths! You Guardians are pathetic!" Arc energy began to spark off Sarah. She wiped her tears, and her tears turned into rage. Void wings grew from her back. Her Arc energy sparking off her turned into an aura of all three elements. "Sarah," I shuddered nervously, "You don't have to--" She turned to me. Her eyes were pure, void fire, with lightning striking through them. Sarah turned to Crota. As she began to hover, her aura grew into a giant avatar that looked exactly like her. Her rage and fury had summoned the Phoenix! I filled with rage and a blood-curdling lust to strangle Crota with my bare hands. A chorus of disembodied voices said, "You mess with one of us, you mess with the whole pack." The Phoenix charged into battle. She sent deadly blasts of lightning that would've killed those ogres in a heartbeat. I also charged. Setting fire to Crota, smacking him upside the head with my Hammer. The Phoenix took Crota's sword and made probably the greatest sword smash known to history. Blake would go on to describe it as [i]The Sword of Havoc[/i]. There is good reason to that. No Nova Bomb, Fist of Havoc, or explosion, can even come close to the amount of force in that smash. Crota was dead. The aura evaporated, and Sarah collapse to the ground out of pure exhaustion. I picked up her body and ran back to everyone else. Delphi was scanning JJ's body. "He is still alive," the Ghost noted. "Will he be okay?" Blake asked. "His Light.... it hasn't even dimmed. In fact, it's..... brighter," Delphi said. "How?" Mark asked, "Crota's sword drains Light. How is it brighter?" "It was Sarah," Kyra said, "Both Blake and Chase were given this uncharted, super-strength that put their Light on steroids. She now controls the Phoenix. She empowered both of them." "How much power she hides will always remain a mystery," Mark muttered. "I think we should go home," Blake said, "We've kicked a lot of a**." So we left to orbit. [b]To be continued...[/b]
