Previous Chapter

The Guardians arrived at the tower, stunned by the looks of the building. "Welcome to the city, Guardians. The last one.", said Twilight' s Ghost, as the trio were pulled from their ships to the main courtyard. A loudspeaker came on, saying any new guardians should go to the Vanguards. A Hunter approached them, and showed the trio the way to the Vanguards. After a boring conversation with the Vanguards, the guardians were told to go down to the Cosmodrome, and find a leader of the House Of Devils, Riksis. It was explained to everyone that killing Riksis would lead the way to the High Servitor, Sepiks Prime, and maybe even the Kell of the Devils. The trio investigated in his last known location, Dock 13. The giant Captain leaped down from the ceiling, and then, something unexpected happened. Instead of firing on Twilight, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash, he turned around, and shot at an unknown thing, or things, his body blocking the view of the Guardians, and when they looked from beside him, they saw Thralls running at Riksis, trying to jump on him and slash his helmet open. The Guardians joined in on the fight, killing Thrall left and right. When the smoke cleared, Riksis was weak. The Captain took a knee, and just... waited. Applejack stepped up to Riksis, and punched him multiple times until the ground and her armor was nothing but black, and there was no Ether left to bleed. They had won, theoretically. Just not without help from a different kind of force.
