Chapter 34 - Dark Parasites

If you know someone bungee on the destiny team then show them this if you want. As this could be a very interesting level or concept to see in the game. Since we don't know really know what the Traveler is or why it exist.

=======================================

After leaving the tower we started heading towards the Traveler. So while we're doing that I'm gonna pull a deadpool and break the fourthwall. YEA I'M LOOKIN AT YOU BLACK ONI AND WOMANIZER!! To answer your question womanizer the people currently in the guild are as follows. Laura, Lunar, Dawn, Carl, Clementine, Lee, Rasputin, Cayde, myself, Myriad, and her pups.

Before you ask womanizer apparently she pulled a fast one on us. She and the gamer are a nightmare team together! So yea she really pulled a fast one two hundred years ago. The other half of your question is that the guild has a hierarchy. Everyone but me and Myriad has a ranking while both us are main and sub master. The system wouldn't budge on me being the leader and her being the sub leader. The other rankings are as follows for everyone else.

"Myth" belongs to Laura, Dawn, Lunar, and then Myriad's pups. As they're are mythological descendents. The rank also is neither high or low its in own category. Next is the "Lieutenant" rank belonging to Cayde, and Rasputin. Next is "Mercenary" Which belongs to Clementine and Lee. Those are the only ranks so far okay you got that womanizer?

Now Black Oni you made a joke about that nightmare of world. Which led to the guild name as the one you joked to doesn't get jokes. Though the name is pretty accurate as the guild is connecting worlds with dead roads. And the guild is ran by an insane necromancer that has an undead legion! So thanks for the name but also damn you if I have to go there! I'm killing off that whole world in your name! So you'll have to feel guilty for its demise Black Oni! Now back to our regularly scheduled adventure of dead roads.

Myriad was looking at me with what could only be a shit eating grin. Troublesome pup you think this is funny? I'll be showing you funny later just you wait Myriad! Ack! Down Jason stop ŀɨċkɨnġ me! While I was being licked and getting a shit eating grin towards me. Rasputin had made the ship hover outside the Traveler, though all calls that we been receiving we've ignored. With us hovering near it we've noticed something wrong.

The parts that looks exploded like in the games seem off. As they are definitely exploded but inside there's the flashes of weapons. So all of us got ready we even got Myriad's pups, which there's five of by the way. They were a strange case but I think of them as basically cyborgs or warforged. Wrathos also had a change making marble sized ghost for them all. So Wrathos is a ghost with literally the most guardians ever. Since we don't know whats going on in there at all. I'm having Rasputin stay outside just in case of death.

Going through the cargo bay to my bike thats got some modifications. For this little voyage mainly a gatling gun that generates bullets from literal kinetic force. I get on it while in a basket behind me the wolf pack gets in. Rasputin starts opening the cargo bay door us facing our entry point. Which is very lit up with weapon fire almost like the Traveler has been fighting. Whatever got inside of it for a very long time now and we're about dive into it. As a random character always said "No pain no fuċkɨnġ gain"!

But the ghost side is on the defensive as every second one leaves. Likely to revive a new guardian or they fall to the parasites with a loud crunch. So in a time like this I store the bike while the pack has flame thrower barrels ready. While from my inventory I pull out my own original guardian weapon. A very volatile flame thrower that spews flames that work like napalm, but until its victim dies they never go out. With one squeeze of the trigger the six barrels at the front start spinning. Creating a flaming tornado of death accompanied by six other flames bursting to life.

The ghost notice our uninvited ȧssistance but, they all only start a chorus of more intense lasers. When they see that the parasites are starting to drop in numbers. But from above on all sides they start dropping in like waves. Guess the screaming death rattles of agony attracted them! A ghost that seems to be one of the many commanders flies over to us doing a spinning rapid fire. Until its next to us just had to catch it with a technomancer field.

"Guardians? What are you all doing in here?! This place isn't safe to be at!"

"Investigating the Traveler of our own will little light. Though seems you guys have been fighting on the home front for over three hundred years. Though I may have a way to help just to do so I need to know how your made!"

A parasite was falling from above us so I look up my mouth open. As a hidden flamethrower shoots out of my mouth turning the critter to ashes. The ghost who came to us seemed terrified but relieved. Though if it had a face I bet it'd look at me with a stern face. As I probably shouldn't know how to create the ghost! Just this scene dictates I do something or else we'll all die! When it seemed like the ghost was gonna say no the Traveler trembled.

Making the ghost flashed red before, it agreed and had my ghost show me. Once the schematics were imprinted into my head. I pulled up the workshop through the gamer's interface. Where I started a mass production of offensive and defensive ghost in overtime. All were made using hirlok metal as the base and core, once the first hundred of each finished. From thin air the appeared to allow the Traveler to power them up.

Once they hummed to life they scattered around the battlefield. The defensive ghost as they were made and powered started a mass push. Pushing the parasites into kill boxes where the offensive ghost started a fire show of annihilation. Flamethrowers all the way to rockets of energy going off in every direction. The normal ghost onve given a chance all started to repair things. I guess while some still kept flying off to outside world to revive guardians.

Sometimes I could see five of each ghost type flying into the parasite tunnels. That closed up as they went likely hunting the parasites down. The same ghost that came towards us started leading us. Up through the Travelers innards which some of the places we went through. Looked like area's of a city so either guardians were supposed to live here. Or the Traveler once housed its own unique race once before those parasites came. As we moved though I kept deploying offensive and defensive ghost. That eventually the numbers I released surpassed the one million mark.

When we finally came to a stop the ghost leading us had stopped in a giant dome area. At the top of the Traveler very likely so as above us. Was the sky and space in all its fuċkėd up glory in every sense of the word. The ghost had left afterwards zipping back down into the battle to likely never be seen again. The area around us looked like a swampy forrest area with a temple further in it. Just before we could take a step forward to explore our first very likely residents. Appeared before us in all their snaky glory, as before us were basically Naga's or Yanti in DnD terms.

The one at the head of the pack of these new faces was a murky pink. Naga dressed like a priestess and well they had brėȧst. So at least I won't confuse females and males together thats a relief! My relief didn't last long though as Rasputin came on over the coms. Screaming about the parasites trying very hard to get on and in it.

"Rasputin leave us for now me and the wolf pack are safe. But those parasites are likely a welcoming gift for the Traveler. From the darkness during the collaspe. So get far away then start up protocol "Evening Dawn" that we discussed during these two hundred years. We'll be seeing you soon again Rasputin so don't die on us."
