Tell your Legends! (Destiny)

The titan kneeled like a viper, coiled with his Light ready to strike. His Ghost invisably hovered close by in n-space, weaving a complex illusion of empty space and sensor echoes around the large block his host hid behind. Any other Ghost would not detect his master until they entered visual range, and that would be far too late. The Titan had already claimed two unwary guardians as they came for the B flag, and now Alpha squad had dispatched a warlock to watch the approach as well. Heh, they might as well ask Lord Shaxx to hand them victory now.

At the edges of his Ghost's perception a signal formed, faint at first then confirmed. Someone approached fast, on a direct line to the Titan's trap, their speed too great for their Ghost to conceal from his own. The warlock would undoubtedly claim this one as he breached the massive circular opening of Vex stone. Never the less, the Titan readied himself, hoping for more easy additions to his glory. He could hear the feet on the stone now, fast and sure; angled right for him. The warlock primed himself, sliding in position with his shotgun at the ready. At this range it would be all over before the rusher even noted the warlock's presence. The warlock's Ghost kept track, his HUD showing the range zeroing and the warlock braced to fire.

At the last moment there was a leap, and a whoosh as the space in front of the warlock squeezed and then relaxed, the shotgun barked but found no target. A shadow fell on the Titan and he instinctively looked up as time froze around him. Above him a Hunter floated, frozen at the exit of his tunnel in space with the wide barrel of his shotgun aimed right at the Titan's face. WIth perfect clarity he noticed the mud on the Hunter's boots and the wave of his cape behind. In this moment he knew he had been defeated.

Time started, and the Hunter landed the same time as the Titan's body fell to the ground. The Warlock rushed from his hiding place, racking his shotgun as he did, eager to defend this point and avenge his ally but the Hunter had fallen behind the large Vexstone block and was hidden from sight. Even as he rounded the block the Hunter emerged, throwing a fast glowing energy ball. The Warlock dived left to avoid the grenade but it curved in mid air, seeking the Warlock and sticking to his chest. He only had a moment before it exploded violently blowing his body off the platform into the stream below.

"Heh Heh Heh, the Crucible is no place for mercy." Lord Shaxx intoned.
