Tell your Legends! (Destiny)

“You’re chasing a guy with a machinegun, right?”

“I know,” I say with a bizarre sense of confidence. I summon the Golden Gun and round the corner.

There he was, loading a fresh belt of ammunition into his weapon just the other side of the room. I aim and fire, and his centre of mass disappears into a flaming hole... but he’s not alone. I pivot left to engage his wingman and fire again, but too hastily; I miss high and right. The wingman too is pivoting about; him to address me with his shotgun, a massive brute that at this range could cut me in half. I pull down my sights, exhale, squeeze... and the shotgun clatters to the floor from the nerveless hands of a decapitated body.

Its energy spent, the Golden Gun disencorporates from my hand. I walk over to the smouldering body of the gunner and take the yet-unloaded ammunition belt. Practiced hands load it into my own machinegun, the fabled Super Good Advice once held by fabled Pahanin.

My headset crackles. “You okay?”

I pull the cocking lever to chamber the first massive round. “Just tell me where they are.”

“Zone C.”

“On my way.”

-- Steve wishes there were more moments like that for him in the Crucible; alas, that's the only one. (Story & strikes have many more for him.)
