Chapter 28 - Assault On The City

When I left Ikora after nearky eight hours of talking and stuff. I stopped by the tower bar and found a passed out Rasputin on the counter. So I lifted the drunken warmind up like a princess over my shoulder. Taking him back to our ship in the hanger where I see very likely the great grandma of the shipwright. From in the games inspecting my ship and even fixing things up for me. So I snuck up on her from behind and leaned in beside her head before speaking.

"Hello there you must be the head shipwright? Is everything okay with my ship? Or are you just excited to see a pre-collaspe ship?"

She jumped and swung a pipe wrench at my face in surprise. But I just caught it between my fingers as I smiled. She had some decent power in that swing. It pushed my fingers inwards a bit before they went back to normal. I'll be looking after this woman she could probably be very entertaining. When she finally realized who I was though she seemed flustered about being found out.

"Yes! Sorry being nosey about your ship its just so old and rare. As most ships like this old girl were destroyed during the collaspe. I'm surprised she's even running at all! But when I looked at everything inside and outside. I saw that she received a lot of care in being repaired! Its pretty impressive in all honesty as parts aren't common anymore."

"Mm yea they weren't easy to find but me, my ghost, and fuzzy companion here. Worked on the ship for two days and nights straight. Fixing things the best that we can at least to fly and warp around. Though if your interested you can work on her more, and really make her come to life."

At my offer to work on the ship she screamed yes and laughed. I learned her name is Riley Holliday, before taking Rasputin off to his cabin. Hearing her last name though made very sure I'll be meeting her great grand daughter. After four hundred and twenty-five years so I can't really help but smirk. As I get to mess with Amanda Holliday one day just for fun! Thinking about it you never got a chance to explore the city down below. So I took my harley speeder out of the cargo hold and walked with it to the tower plaza.

This may be stupid and everything but I'm planning to basically soar into the city. Myriad is staying back as she doesn't wanna try it though. However when I get the plaza looking out down at the city. I see fire starting to crop up and heavy weapon flashes. So without any warning I get on my bike and speed jump off the tower pass Zavala. Free falling from basically over a thousand feet I use instantaneous pulse grenades. from my hunter and warlock powers to use as foot holds. That once I'm at about two hundred feet I store my bike and power drop onto a hive style tank.

That upon impact explodes from my feet impacting on it very violently. My legs buckling from the impact but I quickly use my warlock abilities to make a shield. Shielding me from the explosion around and under me. Hive soldiers surrounding me in the mean time as I recover. However I'm not nice enough be shot at or clawed to death! So in a quick motion like the world was slowing down, I drew midnight coup from my ċhėst holster. Starting a rapid fire into the hive soldiers while using a tank bit as a shield. My fingers digging intos surface to hold it up and move about.

Its great to a thousand strength in this situation as this is dangerous! Once the near by hive are gunned down I spinning throw the tank bit. Off into a scarily big hive member bisecting it in half. Now while things are clear I quickly raise the fallen hive as my undead minions! While I was doing that however a electrified bullet whizzed by. Blowing the head of a hive ȧssassin by the looks of it. However When I look towards the shot location, focusing very hard. I see Myriad on the tower railing a sniper barrel, coming from her mouth.

Guardians that are brave also are rushing over the railing doing what I did. Meaning they may be slower but, they'll be able to get the drop on enemies. Now as I have some nice undead soldiers I sick them upon their former friends! Some bite and run before being followed by a zombified hive member. Quickly growing my army while some titans have come crashing in the fray. So I'll let them handle the civilians while I join my army and conquer! Dashing around the war zone of a city I kill and raise enemies as I go.

Getting on top of a clock tower in the city I get a view on everything. To the far west of the city some guardian tanks are fighting the hive and advancing. In the south are a group of titans and Zavala protecting evacuees. In the east I see a mix of hunters and warlocks having a grand time. While to the north I see the elite hunters and warlocks being led by Cayde and Ikora. Leaving the center to me and my undead army to capture. Which is easier said than done as hive elders are being a problem. Their not letting my undead get anywhere close enough to infect them!

So I take a clip of bullets for the midnight coup and infect them. With the powers of necromancy in very lethal amounts to instantly turn someone. As this is probably the best chance to overcome those elders. Who are throwing hive magic around all freely into my army. Taking aim the barrel resting on my left arm I shoot the nearest elder. While they're distracted by my undead that are getting more crafty as time goes. My bullet hits them in the side where the necromancy quickly spreads. Turning the hive elder into a very strong wraith, a fine addition to my soldiers.

So I take aim and double tap two more elders turning them into wraiths. While looking at parts of my army some have become wraiths from bathing in the magic. While watching the remaining elders get overwhelmed Ikora contacts me. Saying that my undead are threating to attack guardians so I have Myriad start popping heads. Of all the rebellious undead as I reign them in and start hunting the stragglers. Once my area is under control I have a third out of millions. Swarm the area being fought in by the tanks to help them out a bit.

At the titan defensive a loud explosion goes off as a hive patriarch appears. So I dash across the roofs of buildings to fight the patriarch. My undead cramming the streets and back ways as the rush in. An unlucky hive fighting a titan getting pulled back and devoured hungrily. Once I'm in distance of the main attacker I launch into the air. Zavala seeing me slams a shield wall into the Patriarch. Who stumbles backwards, pulling out a traitors fate. I bury the sword into their back and unload the rest of my bullets. Infected with my necromancy into their back as they resisted the first shot.

Once the patriarch has turned I remove my sword. Dropping infront of Zavala as the patriarch heads east as a my first lich commander. Looking back at Zavala and the scared civilians I pull a Cayde and make horrible jokes. To help lighten their fear which worked a bit so thats good. But Zavala looks at me rather seriously and bows to me slightly.

"I'm sorry for how I've acted towards you guardian. You've shown you are a friend clearly as you drove head long into battle. While Quickly turning the tides of battle in our favour. Your companion has even provided excellent cover fire. You have my admiration guardian, but please control your undead they're ŀɨċkɨnġ the shields."

"Their just saying hi all the rebellious ones get shot to death by Myriad. So don't worry much unless you don't trust me much. Also either call me Biazar or Black Oni as thats my callsign. Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna stroll through the battle. To try and find another hive patriarch to make into a lich."

With a wave of my hand I leisurely stroll off down the street. My undead following after me closely while they attack new arriving hive. This is going to be a rather busy night if I do say so but this is fun. Just if anyone makes up a bullshit legend or rumor about me I'm sending a lich after them!
