------------------------------

Amanda and Void argued as the shipwright couldn't just sell the prototypes without tests in place. There were enough cases of guardians imploding as they re-entered orbit.

However, Void couldn't exactly accept that reason, what would a hunter be without unreasonable greed.

"But they look so good Amanda, can't you just do the tests now?" Void urged, not letting go of the catalogue tablet.

Amanda frowned as she reached to snatch the tablet back, prompting Void to run around with it.

"What- Get the f*** back here VOID, I am not giving you no ship." Amanda shouted as she gave chase.

Her speed was obviously a joke as Void toyed with her, remaining only slightly out of reach at all times.

"Okay okay, I will give it back but you promise to show me the good designs, I know you're hiding the good stuff, Banshee told me all about your secret workshop." Void shouted, earning a few curious glances from the rest.

Amanda jumped at the mention of her workshop as she couldn't keep it together.

"AAAAAA-Okay okay, I get it, just give it back." She ran up to Void and snatched the tablet back as she briskly pushed her palm to his mouth and dragged him away.

She crammed Void into her small office, and slammed the door behind her, shooting him a mean glare.

Void couldn't help but smirk as he motioned for her to display the designs.

Amanda felt her brows twitch as she stared him down, she suddenly felt the urge to punch Void.

"Fine, but so help me god if you mention my workshop one more time, I won't ever service your ship." She threatened.

Void immediately zipped his lips as he eagerly waited.

Amanda began fidgeting with her tablet as she went through a few password screens.

Her anger hadn't subsided, as Void could still make out one or two mumbles,

"Stupi- f**** droid, s'posed to be forgetful...." Amanda muttered, clenching her tab.

He silently prayed for Banshee as he knew Amanda wouldn't let that go unpunished.

'I am sorry, I will definitely get you some more scraps next time.' Void resolved internally, recalling the gunsmith's fascination with golden age vaults.

After a few minutes of searching Amanda handed the tablet over, her lips curved into a sly smile.

"I wasn't gon show this anytime soon, but I've been workin on this for a while now."

Void's eyes were glued to the screen as he saw the ship, a slick jet-black frame, with a chamfered contour and trigonal boosters, he was completely mesmerized.

"Woah...Can I even afford this?" He hesitated, glancing restlessly at Amanda.

"Fine, I can work with a discount, but you owe me one. Big time." She replied, annoyed at Void's puppy eyed glances.

"Thank you, thank you, I will take it." He immediately grabbed Amanda for a hug, leaving her slightly flustered.

"Don't do that" She pushed him away,

"Oh sorry, I was just in the moment." Void held his hands up.

"No I don't mind, it's just that your cloak, it smells like shit." She retorted, slightly covering her nose.

"Huh?...What"

"Seriously, when did you last wash it." She opened the door slightly to air out the room.

Obsidian appeared behind Amanda as he stared disapprovingly, shooting a glare that said 'I told you so'

"I-....It's...it's brand new, I SWEAR." Void yelled out, but the two had briskly left the room to work out the deal, slamming the door behind them.

Void twitched with anger as the door slammed on him, taking a moment to calm himself down, he took a few deep breaths.

As curiosity crept up on him, he finally couldn't help it anymore.

'There's no way...right?' Void thought.

Slowly, he grabbed his cloak and brought it to his face.

Taking a quick sniff he felt nauseous.

"AOUGh...This shit smells like rat piss." He gagged, mumbling under his breath.

Fanning his face Void stomped out of the room, but not before making a quick laundry reservation to his room.

Obsidian and Amanda still discussed the purchase as Obsidian discussed and implemented all the changes required, specifically the inter-planetary warp.

"So, is it available?" Void chimed in.

Amanda swiped a few things on her tablet, as she estimated the costs,

"Sorta, I can get you the ship in three hours. Just need to add some finishing touches." She replied, prompting Void to a sign an electronic contract.

Void grabbed her device as he glanced over the terms, he looked to Obsidian.

"This seem all right?"

Obsidian gave his nod of approval as Void signed the contract and handed it back.

Amanda happily received it and shared Obsidian the ship's new identification codes.

Seeing as he received his new transmat code, Void chucked over Praedyth's microchip.

"This enough to cover it?"

Amanda plugged the chip into the tablet like a sim, as the screen flashed a generous number.

"Barely." She scoffed.

"Pleasure doin business with you boys. Excuse me, I gotta get some work done." She scuttled through the hangar, tagging a few service droids to follow her.

Void and Obsidian shared a glance as they saw her leave,

"What now?" Obsidian asked.

Void glanced at his wrist as a his bracelet flashed green,

"Don't know but I added some laundry services to the room." He replied making his way to the elevator.

"Oh thank god." Obsidian heaved a sigh of relief as he followed Void to their room.

"....." Void was left speechless as he shot Obsidian a dangerous look.

"You know, maybe a pink shell isn't a bad makeover." He chimed.

"Listen, we can always talk this out. Let's not resort to rash decisions." Obsidian stuttered, as he hovered just a tad bit away from Void.

--------------------------------------------

[Three Hours Later...]

Void stepped out of his room, with a freshly steamed cloak.

Feeling refreshed he sniffed around his armor,

"This fragrance is insane, what did they use?" He couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm, the services listed it down as Lavender Blast" Obsidian answered.

"Lavender? Yeah, list that down as a favorite for now." Void replied, feeling quite cozy in his gear.

Giving his wrist a flick, he pulled up the interface on his visor, monitoring any new messages he might've missed.

"Anything new?" He asked, skimming through old notifications.

"Amanda said the ship will be ready in twenty minutes. Otherwise, we're completely free. It's almost too quiet. Like the calm before the st-"

Obsidian couldn't finish his words as a barrage of messages hit Void's transponder. Prompting him to quickly reply to the alerts.

"So much for timing it man." He shook his head.

Obsidian immediately brought out the hologram message from Vanguard personnel, as Ikorra appeared.

"Attention guardian, the city has received confirmation of aid from the awoken outpost. We'll be receiving weapons and a squad of personnel to help us through the hunt. The rendezvous point will be shared shortly. All fireteams and squads are to gather now. Over and out."

The message was short and to the point, Void glanced at Obsidian as the two picked up pace to the hangar.

"You got the coordinates?"

Obsidian hummed as his eye flashed, "Just received them, seems like the Vanguard don't want the awoken to linger near the city. We're meeting outskirts of Skywatch near the Lunar complex"

"I guess not, I'm surprised the awoken agreed." Void contemplated for a few seconds.

There truly wasn't much merit to Mara Sov agreeing to this expedition. At least that's what Void thought until he recalled a crucial detail.

'Of course, if Riven is involved, it's a different story.' He frowned.

The two reached the hangar as Amanda handled a few droids doing safety checks.

"Everything ready?" Void paced over, practically itching to get into his ship.

Amanda could sense the excitement oozing through his cloak as she signed off on the last few checks.

"Yeah, she's all yours. Take her away." She replied waving Void off.

Void instantly triggered his transmat and appeared within his ship, Obsidian fired the engines as a sharp 'Whoop' was heard.

The Sonic thrusters roared as the ship lifted off the dock.

"Woah...that's the new car smell" Void then felt the smooth directional steering as he maneuvered the ship to orbit, tearing through the air at Mach speed.

"Obsidian, send kabr a reminder, and set course to the Lunar Complex" Void ordered, as he slowly pulled the ship upwards, practically flying vertically upwards.

Once they had smoothly exited to orbit, Void slammed the engines as a sharp 'crack' was heard, and the warp drive pulsed.

Almost as if Void was punched in the gut, his body slammed in the chair and the ship blasted towards the Cosmodrome.

"E-Estimated trajectory" He barely formed a sentence feeling the g-forces slamming him down.

"20 minutes." Obsidian replied, as he barely stayed afloat.

As the ship warped through atmosphere with a chaotic entry, Void shot towards the cosmodrome, and steered toward the lunar complex.

Within minutes he hovered over the massive industrial complex and transmatted out, sending his ship to geostationary orbit.

He stepped towards the gates as he saw Cayde coming to fetch him.

"Heyy kiddo, how's it going. Gotta say, nice ride you got there." He bumped fists and gave Void a cheeky smile.

"Yeah but hands off, don't even think about offering a trade." Void immediately interjected, knowing full well Cayde would try the old scam.

"Come on, you say it like it's bad. Tell ya what, I will throw in some extra glimmer on the side, besides you get to enjoy the presidential vanguard jumpship as your own." Cayde buttered him up.

"Save it, we both know you've got the standard arcadia model retrofitted with a warp drive. Amanda practically begs you to have it serviced everyday."

"What can I say, I like living on the edge." Cayde laughed.

Cayde ushered Void inside as they passed through all security checks, arriving deep inside the Lunar complex.

Although the complex wasn't exactly city territory, it was a trivial task to quarantine the space and clear out any hostiles. Somewhat like a temporary foreclosure.

It was perfect to receive "allies" that the Vanguard wasn't yet comfortable with.

Void and Cayde walked out to an empty oval room,

"Take a seat kid, the others will be here soon." He said, casually kicking his feet up on the table.

Void sighed, knowing Ikorra would chew Cayde out later.

Nevertheless, Void sat down and began contemplating his next steps regarding the Ahamkara hunt.

Bab 46: Reconnaissance (2)

A/N: Hope you enjoy this chapter, please leave a review on what you liked, put your thoughts in the comments and have fun. Throw some stones at the series!!

------------------------------------------

[Lunar Complex]

Void sat in silence, entranced by his own thoughts. His head was filled with questions, as he glanced at the empty chairs.

'Following the original timeline...the city should succeed no matter what.'

However, with the newfound changes in the future, he wasn't so sure anymore. Void frowned. A familiar 'click' echoed through the hall as Cayde played with his gun.

'Must be nice to be that strong.' Void sighed internally observing his carefree demeanor.

Void sat up straight, exhaling a deep sigh as he slapped his knees,

'Whatever it is, first priority is to make the most of every opportunity.' He resolved himself.

Cayde chuckled, shifting his seat to face Void, "Nervous?"

Void heaved a breath and stretched his arms, "Just a little." Cayde furrowed his brows as he studied Void a bit longer. He holstered his gun and leaned back into the chair.

"Ya know champ, everyone's a bit scared before a big job. Yeah, even me." He smirked.

Void chortled, " Is this your version of a pep talk?"

"Why, is it a bit too cheesy?" Cayde struck him an exasperated glance.

"My bad, go on."

".....Anyways, as I was saying. Everyone's scared, but after the job, they only have good stories." Cayde stated, slightly reminiscent.

"Yeah, that's called telling a lie." Void shook his head and shrugged.

Cayde rolled his eyes, "What would you know? Every story is true if you tell it right."

Void chuckled, rolling his shoulders, "Where'd you get that one from? Another trick in your book?"

"Nah, a friend of mine said it back in the day. You know he always had the best stories. This one time he eve-....huh." Cayde put two and two together as his eyes narrowed.

The two then sat in complete silence once more as Cayde had a massive frown on his face.

It was almost borderline awkward but then Void felt his radar blink as a few ships descended near the entrance.

Shortly after, Kabr, Pahanin and Zavala entered the hall.

Zavala sent a nod to Void as he took the chair of the center consul, while the others simply sat wherever they pleased.

"Thank you all for making it here, the rest should be arriving soon. Let's maintain decorum as we wait." Zavala stated, earning a nod from everyone.

"Cayde, that means no feet on the table." He repeated, raising a brow.

Cayde groaned as he put his feet down and leaned on his arm, exhaling a few sighs.

"Thank you." Zavala promptly sat down, checking his comms to ensure all was on schedule.

A few minutes later, Void glanced at his radar and felt numerous ships as well as a few unknown energy signals gather above.

'Must be the awoken.' His eyes were glued to the door, but he wasn't alone.

The rest had already picked up on the faint energy fluctuations, all wore tough faces and awaited their new "ally".

Ikorra was the first to march to the hall, with all squad captains in tow. Following the group was a team of awoken scouts, armed to the teeth, donned in lilac and purple armor carrying caches of awoken origin.

However what caught Void's eye was the man leisurely walking behind his team. Bright auburn eyes, pale blue skin and a sly gaze.

Void frowned , 'Uldren Sov, to think we meet like this.' Naturally, he was someone Void was highly on guard against.

The man who seemed to be against the guardians at every turn. The one who was ultimately responsible for the murder of Cayde-6.

His eyes flashed blue as Uldren's stats appeared.

----------------------------

Name: Uldren Sov

Race: Awoken

Level: 32 (Max for Destiny 1 is 40)

-----------------------------

'He's stronger than I expected'

The awoken were extremely gifted with their physical abilities, but level 32....

'Guess he isn't famous for nothing.' Void looked away, focusing on the weapon caches instead.

Ikorra glanced to Zavala as they motioned for all guardians to stand, welcoming the awoken envoys.

The guardians all formed a line as the caches were stacked ahead, following this the Corsairs stood in formation, as Uldren took the lead.

He looked towards the Vanguard, nodding.

"Queen Mara sends her regards, according to our agreement, caches of our finest weapons, and a squad of our best scouts. I hope we have a good collaboration." Uldren smiled, extending his hand to Zavala.

Zavala returned the gesture, and the Corsairs opened up the caches, revealing pristine reef weaponry.

After exchanging a few words with Zavala, Uldren took his leave, assigning his squad of Corsairs under Ikorra as agreed upon.

Void found it amusing, he along the others could easily tell that Uldren was probably just keeping up appearances. There was no need for the prince to actively participate in the hunt.

'I guess being royalty comes with some benefits.' Void thought to himself and chuckled, as a guardian who wasn't yet known, he couldn't exactly decline the Vanguard's orders.

Ikorra quickly took charge of the room as she waved her hand, and each crate of weapons flew towards the fireteams present.

"Take what you need, anything extra goes to the Sunbreakers, they've already began searching for activity on Mercury and Venus." Ikorra ordered.

Naturally, guardians weren't ones to pass up on loot, as all eagerly began rummaging through the caches present.

Kabr and Pahanin were no exception, as the duo began inspecting the snipers and the autos. It wasn't long before they aimed down sights to try and get a feel for the weapon.

However, Void wasn't any different. He had already scanned through most of the caches with his eyes, and didn't find the need to grab any weapon. His new auto rifle practically made up for it.

But just as he thought that, Pahanin shot him a glance.

"Hmm?"

He scooted closer to guess what Pahanin wanted, and as he did, Pahanin plunged his hand into cache, digging up a a silver lined sidearm.

Running his fingers across the barrel, he mouthed,

"Good."

The next second, he tossed it to Void.

-----------------------------------

Vestian Dynasty (Sidearm)

Rank: Legendary

"Long Live the Queen"

Perks:

Precision Frame: This weapon's recoil pattern is more predictably vertical.

Chambered Compensator: Stable barrel attachment. • Increases stability • Moderately controls recoil • Slightly decreases handling speed

Armor-Piercing Rounds: Rounds cause extra damage to combatants' shields and over penetrate targets. • Slightly increases range

Kill Clip: Reloading after a kill grants increased damage.

Dragonfly: Precision kills create an elemental damage explosion.

-----------------------------------------

Gripping the sidearm in his palm, Void felt it's heavy rounds and stable body finish. Truly an auto sidearm that could pierce through armor like cheese.

Inspecting the weapon thoroughly, he definitely liked it.

"Thanks" He nodded, receiving a nod in return as Pahanin continued testing the weaponry.

Kabr wasn't an easy titan to impress. With a great inventor like Pahanin and the one of the smartest warlocks like Praedyth by his side, the titan had grown accustomed to weapons polished to the highest degree.

However, as he held the gigantic auto rifle in his arms, he felt it was peculiar. He felt a sudden rush of energy as his fingers lingered near the trigger.

It puzzled him, 'This must be the awoken technology' He concluded.

Handing the rifle to Pahanin for the final 'Okay', Kabr continued inspecting new weapons.

In the end, a few among the weapons were truly meticulously crafted. However, the same couldn't be said for every weapon.

Once they had gathered the best fitting weapons, the duo stepped away from the caches, signaling Void to follow along.

He obliged, knowing that although his eyes were pretty accurate, Pahanin had centuries of experience to guide his judgement, something he couldn't easily triumph with just the stat window.

Void joined the two as they waited for the squads to fully load their arsenals.

"You got the ship?"

Kabr leaned back into the wall, crossing his arms as he waited for an answer.

"Yeah, newest model with a warp drive. We're good to go."

Void grabbed a chair nearby and sat down. Their fireteam huddled in a corner as they waited patiently.

Despite the large selection of weapons available, guardians were quite picky with what they used. It was natural of course, no guardian would pick a weapon they didn't fully trust.

As such, each squad captain had singled out what they believed were weapons that would serve useful.

Ikorra saw as most captains had finalized their arsenal, hence, she stepped up one more time.

" Those present here, arm yourselves the best you can. A single bullet might make the difference between victory and defeat."

Her words caused a few to reconsider, glancing around the caches they had gathered for their teams.

Ikorra received a few resolute glances, prompting her to continue.

"Guardians, we are one step away, from victory, or from defeat. Our objective, is to hunt down the enemy, no more and no less. Don't falter in the face of twisted lies, let the light guide you."

A few stoic faces emerged following her reminder.

Ikorra smiled, knowing every single person had taken her reminder to heart.

" Every fireteam leader here has been provided a list of notable Ahamkara locations. As far as we know, they are experts at hiding. The world bends to their will. But the Ahamakara, like us, are weak to their own desires for power. Wherever you choose to search, you might have to lure them out."

Ikorra's gaze swept through the room

"Taunt them, frighten them, whatever it is you need to do. But once you find them, don't hesitate to deliver the final blow. Whatever it takes guardian, we will hunt them down, to the last one."

Her eyes went cold, a surge of aura pulsed through the room, stifling pressure building through the hall.

Void felt his hair stand on end as the aura struck him, an imminent sense of danger ran through his mind. He could feel his body trembling against a wisp of her power.

'Is this the true power of a warlock vanguard?' He thought, noting to not cross Ikorra as long as he could help it.

The room gravitated to her next words, all waiting in silence. Ikorra gave a solemn nod,

"May the light be with you, guardians."

With the last phrase, she stepped down, returning the room to a relaxed state.

Zavala and Cayde were the first to leave, their somber faces reflected in the dim sunlight.

Cayde unlocked his holster, as he transmatted away. Not a second later, two ships shot through the horizon, warping towards orbit.

On cue, Ikorra and the Corsairs under her exited the hall, traveling to Jupiter's asteroid cluster.

"Let's go, we'll regroup at the cathedral and leave for Mars."

"...." Pahanin nodded

"I will see you there" Void replied, scuttling to the exit, as he spotted Sai and Tevis's disappearing figures, he could faintly make out a wave as they two transmatted away.

He sighed, putting his hand down.

Looking back, Kabr and Pahanin had already triggered their transmat.

Glancing around to ensure he was alone, he swiftly unholstered his hand cannon, and stored it in his inventory, instead replacing it with the new sidearm.

Tapping his wrist twice, Void's figure blurred, disintegrating into fine data lattices as he appeared within his ship.

"Obsidian, route to Cathedral," He relayed, slumping in his chair, his eyes lingering on the faint blue prompt in front of him.

--------------------------

{Legendary Guardian System}

(Canon Quest) The Great Ahamkara Hunt:

" The city calls for aid against mysterious creatures rumored to have been brought into existence by the Traveler during the Golden Age. Now they threaten to untangle they very fabric of reality. Deemed too dangerous to be allowed to live on. Hunt them down guardian."

Rewards: 10x Ahamkara Spine, ++Xp, 700,000Đ , +1 Store Roulette Ticket

---------------------------

Void's eyes perked up at the last reward, a faint smile hanging on his lips.
