Warning: Heavy Violence, you have been warned. Akain was surrounded by Thrall, they were crawling towards him. He slashed his Dawnblade savagely into the thick of them, dozens fell, but the countless who lived just climbed over the dead corpses of there kin. Akain turn and slashed behind him more fell, he slashed again and again, hundreds falling but ever more approaching him closer and closer. He could feel his power dwindling, he held on to it as long as he could, his flames getting weaker and the Thrall getting closer on all sides. He could feel tears of fear run down his face, he began to scream in desperation and his power faded, darkness settling back in. In one sickening movement the Thrall were on him, ripping, tearing at him, he could feel there teeth and claws ripping him to pieces, his armour no more than cloth to them. He heard a familiar noise and then the Thrall stopped, conscious because of the pain, he looked. The Thrall had there hands on their heads, they were trying to move away from him, a Void tether had been shot on top of the pile that tried to consume him. They were all caught in it, trying to escape. Akain could see light above from the room that he was in before, so far above him, it was like sunlight seeping through clouds and then he could see a blue ball of energy fall from the clouds, lightning coursing around it. It was coming to him and Adam landed, with a crash of lighting, disintegrating all that were caught in the trap, more tried to run at their new pray. Adam with the strength of the Traveler began to fight, punching through waves of Thrall, crushing dozens with the strength only I Titan knew. He when his power ran out, he was still punching, kicking, headbutting. They had piled on him, but he was fighting, they didn't knock him down. Akain could barely see him under the pile, his strength unwavering. Akain felt hands latch onto him, Thrall were trying to drag him away, into the darkness, he couldn't even scream he was so weak. Not even a second of dragging occurred before the heads of the Thrall exploded, they had been shot with bursts of gun fire. Akain with great difficulty looked and seen Adam wasn't alone. Yuri was there, shooting at the piles of Thrall on Adam, bodies dropping left and right. Thrall charged at her, she took each down as they came, she ran out of ammo and with no time to reload, she pulled out her knifes and started hacking, slashing and stabbing any Thrall that dared to come close to her or Akain. Less and less Thrall ran to fight, then they scattered, crawling back into the shadows. But Yuri refused to let them live so easily, she picked up her rifle, reloaded and gunned down anything that moved. When she took the last one down she continued to shoot it's corpse, Akain could here her shout, a shout of rage, fear, triumph... victory. Akain looked to see Adam standing, upright, barely able to stand, his armour destroyed, his chest nearly exposed through a ripped shirt that was covered in a mix of Thrall and his blood. Lumiere appeared next to Akain and started to heal him, his fatal wounds would take time to heal. Akain tried to hurry the process by cast a healing well, both Yuri and Adam limped over to him, there ghosts healing there wounds. Yuri removed her helmet and went to her knees next to Akain, he could see tears going down her cheeks, she was smiling at him. Adam looked down and spoke, next time you do that, your on your own. Akain chuckled, then laughed, Adam and Yuri began to laugh to, it was painful but they laughed, it felt like they laughed for hours. They heard Robert land next to them, the laughter stopped. Adam turned his head and said in a sarcastic way, a lot of help you... Adam stopped, his face turned to a look of surprise. Akain heard a loud bang, he looked to see Adams ghost shatter into pieces, light exploding from within. Wait! Yuri screamed, next second her ghost exploded as well. Robert aimed his hand cannon towards Lumiere, he fired. Yuri dived and caught the bullet with her chest, again and again Robert fired and Yuri took the shots. Lumiere disappeared to safety and Akain got up to catch Yuri, who was kneeling in front of him, to save him. Adam screamed, NOOO! He charged at Robert before he hand a chance to reload and punched him with all the force he could muster, knocking the Guardian's teeth out, Robert fell to the ground and rolled to try to get back on his feet, Adam kicked him down and started to beat him savagely, like Robert was one of the Thrall he had just killed, over and over he beat Robert, until his face was just bloody mush. Akain held Yuri, blood pooling out of her mouth. Yuri, everything going to be alright, Akain said he said with a smile, tears falling from his eyes. He carefully leaned her back onto the mosey stone floor. Don't worry, we still have so much more to do, you have to keep kicking my ass in crucible and showing me how to be better at everything. Akain said weeping openly unable to hold back his despair. Yuri Smiled and raised a hand to wipe Akain's tears. I wanted to travel the stars with you two and I did. She replied weakly, wheezing the words out in great difficulty. I couldn't ask for a better second life, I never knew what I wanted until now... I just wanted a family. More than anything... and I have one. Yuri whispered, tears falling from the sides of her eyes. We will go back home and we will look after you, that's what we always do, the Traveler will patch you up and you can come home. Akain spoke softly to her. But she had gone, the ghost of a smile still on her face, as she forever dreamed about her family. Writers Note: This was very hard to write, I knew what had to happen, but you get attached to characters because they remind you of people you care about. I wanted to change the story to be happier, but I feel like the story would be ruined it. There would be no stakes. Thank you for your support, it really means the world to me.
