Chapter 5: Grievance, Part 4

Malinna and Lintro ducked into cover just in time to shield themselves from the blast that raged before them. However, there was no need. Their ally made sure to plant the explosives perfectly ahead of them so the Titan and Warlock could have a grand view of the carnage without being in any danger. Once the rest of the shattered forces retreated, the Cult landed their ship behind the broken Guardians and stepped outside while clearing the remaining forces around the Guardians. The Capitan spoke first while sheathing her rifle, “Oh heavenly orb in our limitless skies, for when the dark has consumed all but naught…” “The Ball was there.” Quiblar joined in the choir. “For when light seemed all but impossible to attain…” “The Ball was there.” “For when they, those who could not follow for fear of uncertainty and the endless curves that grace your bounty!” “The Ball was there!” “For when the everlasting abyss may take us and never let us go in a memorable embrace sheltered by the glowing bits of fiery glory that also adorn your shape in all of its perfection and in our doubt we should forget what shape they take in certainty…” “The Ball was there!!!” The two began chanting in unison. “BALL IS HOPE! BALL IS LIFE! BAAAAAALLLLL!!!!!!” The Titan who dealt the lethal blow plowed his fist up from his self-caused rubble and climbed out of the debris. He dusted off his shiny armor and made his way towards the two Guardians who were now collapsed onto the ground. “I told you two not to speak at all when we were near them!!” He scolded the Cult members. Then, he focused his attention on the fallen Guardians “What the hell?” He began as he approached what he assumed were two exhausted allies. “How did you even get into this mess, and where’s…” “I can’t find her!” Poco, Zvika’s Ghost, franticly flew past the group in hopes to find his Guardian. “She was right here, she told me to wait. I don’t know what happened.” His frantic motions ended with him zooming off into the distance. “I think I last saw her over here!” He shouted. The Black Fox stopped himself as he now realized the situation. The sobbing woman and the man with the hunched shoulders told him all he needed to know. With a gaped mouth, he knew exactly what happened. The lone Titan picked up his allies and helped them over to the ship, hoping that the two Cult members would actually keep their mouths’ shut for once in the presence of additional people. These two were going to need some peace and quiet for once he decided.
