The Hunter barreled down the dune, exchanging magazines in her rifle as she descended. Behind her, she could hear thunderous bellows erupting from the stampede of Cabal kicking up dust like one of the great storms of Mars as they gave chase. Upon reaching the bottom, she quickly bolted toward one of the ruined buildings, half-buried in dust, seeking shelter from the legion.
The Cabal spotted the fleeing Hunter and unleashed a hail of bullets that rained around her, thudding near her feet. She slid into shelter but upon taking cover, she noticed the pain in her side; she'd been hit. Cabal now stormed down the dunes.

The Hunter peered from behind cover to witness Cabal, or what remained of them, scatter as a Warlock hovered overhead, prepared to unleash another Nova Bomb.
