Saw a story about Liara becoming a Guardian after travelling to Pluto. This came to mind.
I do not own Destiny or Mass Effect. They belong to other, more important, people.
The Ghost whirred to life, its eye glowing a purple light, the same as it's body's colour, illuminating the alleyway it was in.
Shaking it's eye, the Ghost floated into the middle of the path that it had found itself in. Sweeping it's body to the left revealed the alleyway was a dead end, while the right showed beings walking past the entrance way.
"Interesting." Uttered the Ghost to itself, it's mind calculating all the possibilities, formulating a plan. The Traveler had sent it here, was it's conclusion. For what purpose, it did not know.
Zooming towards the entrance way, the Ghost shot out into the crowded streets of the Citadel, sending the people who could see it jerking away in shock.
The Ghost observed them curiously, before something called to it. There was a light that the Ghost was tailored to that it must find, and now that it was searching for the light it noticed the lack of the Darkness, sure there was a lot of darkness surrounding the structure it was on, but none of it was from the Darkness, the eternal enemy of the Light of the Traveler, just an echo of darkness from past anger and despair's.
The revelation caused the Ghost to pause, there was no Darkness, the Light of the Traveler was not there in all it's almost blinding glory, the beings around it held little light within them, as if they had no need for it. There was no real need for a Ghost.
"But, if there was no need for a Ghost, why did the Traveler send me here?" The Ghost mused to itself, to the worry of the civilians around it.
Shaking it's eye to rid itself of the thoughts, the Ghost started searching for the Light that had called to it, no matter how brief, while also hacking the database for a language translation and any information regarding it's whereabouts.
An hour later, the Ghost became aware of another alleyway that had a group of people in, the light pulsated gently as the Ghost scanned the alleyway, shocking the Ghost.
Just as it was about to go in and investigate, it noticed the beings were arguing, and thanks to the translation that the Ghost had hacked from the 'Codex', the Ghost knew what they were saying.
"-eal with the shadow broker." The Quarian stated, her back to the Ghost, seemingly glaring at the Turians and Salarian opposite her. If the shoulders were any indication.
"And we're his agents." The lead Turian returned, seemingly angering the Quarian more.
"I asked to meet the Shadow Broker in person, forget it, the deals off."
The Turian stepped back as he was swatted by the smaller Quarian, he started growling with it's sub-vocals while jabbing his talon at the Quarian.
"If you won't hand the data chip over, then we'll just have to take it." The other two beings lifted their weapons, aiming at the Quarian.
The Quarian threw a flash grenade behind her as she turned and ran towards the Ghost, taking a hit to the head as she slumped into some cover.
Just as the Ghost was about to enter the alleyway, a side door opened to reveal two Humans and a Krogan, all in combat armour with weapons drawn. They immediately started firing at the three 'agents', who fell apart within seconds even as they tried to find cover or fire back.
Deeming it safe to enter, the Ghost started searching again. Another pulse of light sent it's attention towards the, recently killed, Quarian.
Shooting towards the Quarian female, ignoring the the other beings that were pointing their interesting weapons at it, the Ghost scanned the Quarian.
It's circuits sparked in joy when the result came back positive. This was his Guardian, he came just in time for the reanimation sequence.
It's voice spoke up in the alleyway, "Finally! I have found you, Guardian!" Performing a flip while letting out a childish 'Wahoo!', startling the beings that had just confirmed the Quarians demise. Their guns went back to the floating cube, the leader, with N7 on the left shoulder plate, said something towards the Ghost.
It paid the warning no mind, the weapons, while interesting and different, weren't dangerous to the Ghost.
Instead, it zipped in front of the Quarian, who had just been turned over.
"Ohh, the Traveler will be pleased, I have arrived just in time as well!"
The proclamation was met with spluttering from one of the Humans and a rumbling chuckle from the Krogan.
The N7 leader spoke up in a deadpan, gun still aimed towards the cube, "You're actually a bit late for... whatever you're going to do."
The Ghost turned it's body towards the N7 leader.
"And your lack faith in both the Light of the Traveler and one of his Ghost's is most displeasing."
The collected beings blinked in surprise as the Ghost turned back to the new Guardian, his new Guardian.
Collecting the wisps of Light around the body, thankful for the lack of the Darkness to take any away from the lifeless body, the Ghost sent the Light back into the body while also focusing it's own supply to turn the Quarian into a Guardian.
The golden beam of Light the Ghost sent towards the Quarian made the other beings raise their weapons again. Cautious of the Ghost.
After a few seconds of nothing happening, the Ghost shut the beam of Light off, surprised it took so much of it's reserves to create a Guardian.
"What was that!?"
The Ghost ignored the question, weaving to each side as it waited anxiously for the Guardian to wake up.
The sound of weapons cocking was ignored, "I said," a hand grabbed onto the top of its casing, "What. Was. That?"
The Ghost teleported itself forwards slightly, annoyed at the insistence of the N7 leader. A shot rang out, the grain glanced off the Ghosts casing.
Just as the others were about to do something, the Quarian jerked awake, startling the Humans and Krogan.
The Ghost lowered itself to the Quarians height.
"Guardian! I am most pleased with finding you! Your alive again and functioning as if you were never shot, I have not seen such a successful integration into a Guardian since the Traveler first created me." The Ghost shouted in joy, causing the Quarian to look at her hands in amazement, before the Ghost registered in her mind and she jerked away from the construct.
"Get away!" She cried out, starting to panic, she reaching for her shotgun on her back.
The Ghost grew confused and alarmed at the reaction, drifting away slightly, "Guardian! You adrenaline has spiked, what is the matter?"
Without waiting for a reply, the Ghost flew forwards and, in a flash of light, disappeared. Leaving a hyperventilating Quarian and a bewildered and shocked squad.
Semi-short, and a cliffhanger!
I do not play Destiny, so nothing from the game will turn up other than the Ghost and it's ability's.
And I've made it really hard on myself, wonder what will happen in the next chapter.
