My head was splintering, I could barely form coherent thoughts to what was around me.

A distressed voice filled my mind, "Wake up, please Kanin…"

I realized that I was lying down, my body felt like I had just got punched by a fellow Titan right in the gut.

"Rose… why does everything hurt?" I asked sarcastically.

"I can't remember, I was about to ask you how we even got here, but seeing as you don't remember I'll try to call our ship for transmat." she said in a much more calm voice.

Opening my eyes revealed that I was in the middle of a forest, if I had to guess I ended up in the European Dead Zone somehow.

I got up and looked at myself, nothing appeared off other then my lack of weapons…

"Your armor should be fine," Rose appeared and started a scan on me, "I didn't see anything wrong with it, the stuff Shaxx makes is nearly invulnerable after all."

"What happened to my gun?" I asked, glancing around the area and seeing nothing of interest.

Rose pulsated as a wave of Light went into the area around us, scanning for anything of use.

"I don't know, do you remember anything about what could have happened to us?" she asked.

There was a huge lapse in my memory, I remember fighting all manner of ugly beasts from every corner of the solar system, I remember my adventures with a few Guardian friends I had, I remember my first ever revive, but practically nothing else…

I couldn't remember how I got here, not what happened, I couldn't even remember if I was still on MY earth, or if I was in the infinite forest and was trapped in a Vex simulation.

Maybe I messed with the wrong Hive Wizard and got blasted through space, who knows at this point.

"No, I remember about as much as you." I said with a little annoyance.

Rose suddenly started frantically scanning the area, "The ship isn't responding to any of my inputs, it's signal is completely gone like it was destroyed… none of the coms are working either, we're on our own apparently."

I stood still for a moment, I had to make sure my Light was still with us.

"Before we do anything, I need to confirm something." I said while cracking my fists.

I reached for the heavens above, a shield of pure purple void surrounded my arm before I struck a nearby tree with it, causing the tree to shatter into tiny pieces.

With swing of my arm, I threw the shield at another tree at blazing speed, having the same effect, I then channeled arc energy and jumped with little grace into the air before slamming down onto the ground in a blue explosion.

Dirt was kicked up in all directions, leaving a smoking crater where I landed.

I felt a fire well up from somewhere within me, a hammer made of orange solar energy formed in my hands as I threw it into the ground to not start a fire.

Sparks and explosions kicked up even more dirt into the air, I barely saw in front of myself.

"Least my powers are working still." I said plainly while flexing my right arm.

Rose sighed, "You tree killing skills are unmatched."

I chuckled before looking around the forest again, the dirt finally settling down enough for me to see.

"Lets just follow the sun till we find something familiar looking." Rose said.

Without responding I started off into the wooded area, following the sun as Rose requested of me.

After a few minutes of walking she started to talk.

"How do you think we got here?" Rose asked while floating around my head.

"We fight things bigger than us all the time, from Vex Minotaurs to Hive Knights, maybe we fought something that finally beat us." I said.

Rose scanned my armor again, "Something is off, there are traces of Hive magic on your armor, maybe we actually did mess with a Wizard."

Hive Wizards were scary buggers. One wrong move could mean dying your last death for you and your entire fireteam if you weren't careful. Despite my reckless behavior at times, I still knew to keep my distance and only get close with one when I had the chance to punch it or use my gun, a stolen Fallen Captain's flak cannon, more formally known as a 'Lord of Wolves'.

Just thinking of shooting that lovely thing again makes me nervous for its whereabouts, a gun doesn't disappear after all.

"I'm more concerned about where my weapon is, have you found a trace yet?" I asked impatiently.

A ping sounded in my HUD, she found the trace, "Yes, thankfully, now we can cook with gasoline again." she said with a sigh.

I laughed, "What's wrong with finding my gun? You sound disappointed at that."

"We don't know where we are, for we know we got sent through time or space, maybe having that gun and armor will make us stick out like a black eye." she said with a little worry in her voice.

"I'm a Titan, I'm meant to stick out, first one in, last one ou-"

"SHHH, on your left, where your gun is supposed to be." she suddenly whispered.

I saw my gun, but someone was holding it, he looked about as tall as me if I didn't have my armor on, he had a dark green sweater and blond hair along with some sort of creature behind him I couldn't recognize.

"Course of action?" I asked, I was drawing a blank.

Rose disappeared before her voice appeared in my head, "You want your gun back, right? Go introduce yourself then, 'Titan'." she said with a little sarcasm.

"HEY." I called out to the figure.

He turned surprised at my booming voice, the look got even more shocked the more he stared at me.

"That gun you got is mine." I said simply and calmly while gesturing to it that he had in his right hand.

"Wh- who are you?" the boy asked in a nervous voice, the creature behind him started to raise what it would call arms, they appeared to have blades on them, the creature also appeared to have a helmet that was reminiscent of my own strangely.

"My name is Kanin, and again I ask, I would like my weapon back." I said.

The person looked to the creature that was now in front of him, both looking unsure of what to do. I took a step forward, the creature suddenly stuck its bladed arm out at me in a battle ready stance.

"Do you have a licence or something for it?" the person said with a little bit of confusion in his voice.

I started walking slowly over to him, "Don't you know what a Guardian is?" I asked, hoping to hear he knew what they were.

He raised my gun slightly, "No, what is a Guardian? Are you with the police or something?"

There was my cop-out at least.

"Yes, I'm patrolling the area because we heard there was a disturbance in this sector, did you see anything happen in the area?" I said as confidently as possible to hopefully pass my bluff off as truth.

The person seemed to loosen his posture, my armor probably helped with his answer given that he has no reason not to believe me.

He walked over to me and held my gun out for me to take, "Sorry about the misunderstanding, and I did see explosions coming from behind you in that area."

He pointed off to where I woke up and killed a few trees.

I took my gun in hand and slung it on my back, "It's fine, thanks for the heads up."

"Are there more of you?" the person asked while putting his hands in his pockets.

"Do you seriously not know what a Guardian is?" I asked back.

He shook his head, "Never even heard of them."

So we either went back in time or to a different world, simply wonderful.

"Wait, how did you even lose your gun?" the person suddenly asked, the creature behind him got into a battle stance again.

"I wasn't lying about being a Guardian nor about the gun belonging to me," I revved the flames on the end of the barrel up, "and I am not afraid to defend myself with it." I said with a lowered voice.

The person obviously didn't know what to do, "What do you mean?" he asked with a worried voice.

"..." my silence spoke louder than words, he began to back off slowly, before running away with the creature in tow.

"That was smooth as sandpaper." Rose suddenly said.

"I didn't see you doing anything" I retorted.

Rose suddenly appeared in front of me while scanning more of the nearby area, "I was trying to do something, I was hacking into the weird red device that he had on his waist, but he sadly got out of range and I was only able to get a few details relating to the ecosystem."

"So are more creatures in this world?" I asked.

Rose disappeared again back into me, "The creatures themselves have names, that one you saw was called a Bisharp for instance, you'd refer to it as a Pokemon instead of animal apparently."

"This helps me how?" I asked sarcastically.

"To blend in, you can't go around waving that gun and armor around because it's obvious it shouldn't be here in the first place, nobody is going to believe that one guy, but what happens if it keeps happening?"

I saw her point, nobody is going to believe him no matter who he goes to, but the more it happens, the more people might start looking for me because I might be doing something 'illegal' according to their laws.

"Fine, I'll stop being so gung-ho, but the armor stays on until it absolutely needs to come off." I simply said.

I started walking back in the direction of the sun at a faster pace, hoping to not come across anyone else.

"So what now? Its clear we are in a different world entirely from ours." I asked Rose.

"You have Hive energy on your armor, so my guess is that the Hive banished us here or something, maybe there is a Wizard we are going to have to kill to get back." she responded.

We came upon an empty clearing in the forest, without thought I continued through it. The clearing itself had flowers all over the area along with a slight breeze in the afternoon sun.

"How do we find the Wizard if that's what we need to do?" I asked while glancing around the clearing.

"We could employ the help of some of the 'Pokemon', some apparently have strong psychic powers that would allow us to locate it with the help of the residual energy on your armor."

I stopped and sat down on a broken tree in the middle of the clearing, "How do you suggest we 'employ' the help of these creatures even?"

She suddenly appeared in front of me, "You could go undercover…" Rose said a little sheepishly, "It'd be the easiest way to hopefully acquire one."

"How did that guy control the creature, er, Bisharp?" I asked.

"That's why I'd suggest going undercover, we can find out how and do it without causing suspicion or unnecessary harm." she chirped while looking around the area. "Plus it'd help to know how this world works."

"Until then, if anything attacks me I'm blasting it to bits, no questions asked." I stated while checking the condition of my gun.

I slid the cannon's magazine out then started inspecting it, making sure nothing was broken.

"You really do put a lot of pride into that thing don't you?" Rose asked nonchalantly.

It was my first real gun, after I got revived for the first time of many, we came across a Fallen Captain that was apparently hunting down Ghosts who were looking for their Guardians in the area.

Me being me, I went in headfirst with nothing more than my fists.

The battle was harsh and extremely close, but the Captain got cocky after slashing me across the chest with a sword it had, thinking I was dead it turned away to face my Ghost which had been trying to hack into a ship for us to use to get away from it.

It was the biggest mistake it ever made, it realized that a little too late.

I smashed into the Captain using 'fists of havoc', sending it flying across the room we were in and dropping its gun conveniently at my feet.

It somehow got up from that blow, raising its sword still to take action, I raised my newfound gun and fired everything it had into it.

The Captain dropped dead as we transmatted into the ship, more Fallen had come to the area to try and stop us, arriving late just as we blasted away in our new ship towards the Last City.

A smile appeared on my face, although nobody could see it thanks to the helmet.

The magazine slid back into place as I holstered it again.

"This gun is the only one I actually care about, its been with us through just about everything." I responded.

I got up from the broken tree and looked around the area, seeing something white and green with a bit of red in the clearing ahead from me.

"What's that?" I asked while pointing towards it.

"I have no idea, might be another one of those 'Pokemon', approach with caution." Rose said with little worry.

Whatever it was, it definitely wasn't looking at me, I crouched down and made my way over as slowly and carefully as possible to hopefully not alert it in case it wasn't friendly.

As I got closer, the creature appeared to have green hair that was the same length across its whole head and a white body with red horns on the top of its head.

It was about as big as a baby, what was this thing?

It suddenly stirred like it heard something, I stopped moving, hoping my armor wasn't giving me away.

Without warning it turned around to face me before I could even say anything to Rose.

I grunted in pain as some invisible force lifted me from the ground and threw me into the air and crashed me back into the dirt. I could barely breathe, everything hurt like before except now the pain was coming from a creature about as big as something you'd punt as a sport back in the Last City.

The creature looked terrified of me, like this was self defense in some way.

Rose healed as much as she could before the invisible force started to cause immeasurable pain to my head, I wanted to scream but found myself unable to.

The pain suddenly stopped, replaced by a constant throbbing.

I reached for my gun, realizing that it wasn't there. I looked up and saw the creature ready to launch another attack.

I stared into its eyes, seeing fear and uncertainty, it held its hand out in case I tried anything.

It seemed to waver, slowly it put its hand down…

Something jumped on top of me and bit down hard on my neck with some sort of electrical burst that then left me paralyzed.

It kept hearing howling and growling along with the occasional yelp, until it finally got through my armor and started to rip my throat out.

The last thing I saw before everything went dark was its damned bloodied face…

"GET UP KANIN." I heard Rose shout at me, I felt a sudden burst of energy propel me to stand up.

I saw about eight of these wolf like creatures surrounding the green and white one, they seemed immune to its powers.

My rage filled voice boomed out over the clearing, "ROUND TWO, YA MUTTS."

The wolf like creatures spun around to me with a little shock in their eyes.

Their leader appeared to be the one that ripped through my armor and paralyzed me. I spotted my gun near its left side, but I had the feeling that I wouldn't need it given how angry I am.

The apparent pack leader approached baring its fangs with a smug to it, it thought I was still injured.

"Cute." I said as I summoned my shield and threw it directly at it.

Much to my surprise it dodged it and started running directly at me, I responded by doing the same thing.

Its fangs started glowing as it lunged at me.

My shield reappeared and glowed brightly as I charged into it, sending it flying in the opposite direction and into a tree.

My fists crackled with arc energy, the other 'wolves' started their assault.

I charged head on into the into the seven of them with the arc energy starting to make me glow bright blue with bolts of its energy striking the area around me.

The first one lunged at me and bit into my arm, it did not get through the armor as it recoiled in pain.

I took that as my chance to punch it over top of it's head.

The hit sent it across the ground tumbling away, it looked like it was dead.

Four of them backed off, they looked a little scared, while two of them came at me from different sides.

The first one lunged predictably at me whilst the other one sent a ranged attack my way.

I channeled the Light and created a barrier which stopped the ranged attack easily, the 'wolf' who lunged through it found itself weakened considerably.

The last thing it saw was my boot before its head was crushed.

Not even giving them any time to recover I jumped high into the air and charged all my arc energy into a single slam.

They stared at me in shock as I moved through the air directly into their group at speeds that not even Guardians can react too.

The slam was devastating, a crater was formed as their bodies were disintegrated by the arc energy, even blackening the area around it.

I rose from the crater with my armor smoking slightly, no other threats appeared to be in the area.

I then saw the white and green creature staring at me from the top of the dead tree, it looked unsure of what to do or of me.

"You alright?" Rose asked while appearing in front of me.

The creature still stared into me, "I'm more concerned about that." I said while gesturing to the creature on the tree.

It suddenly disappeared in a flash of light, like it was transmatted away suddenly.

"Where'd it go?" I asked Rose.

She finished her repair of my armor and body before responding, "I think it teleported, who knows where it ended up." she said almost dismissively, "Let's just get keep go-"

The all too familiar feeling of a shock running through my body returned as I was sent to the ground faster than I could respond.

Rose couldn't do a thing as it tried to get through my armor again.

The white and green creature from before appeared and attacked the 'wolf' with a ball made of light, knocking it off my back and unconscious. Both of us were left speechless as it stood there in an unwavering stance, the little creature approached me as I sat up and took off my helmet.

I felt an emotion foreign to my current state, it seemed to come from the creature itself…

It seemed curious of me, I could feel a small sense of trust from it towards me. It looked into my eyes and I felt something weird, like something was probing my mind.

The creature squealed happily as it suddenly teleported onto my left shoulder and sat there, looking contended with the current situation.

"Looks like we got our psychic." Rose said while scanning it.

The creature looked at Rose with curiosity while swatting playfully at her with its small white arms.

I got up carefully and looked around the area, spotting my gun which I started walking towards before it began to float towards me.

The creature on my shoulder had its arm outstretched and was smiling happily.

I took my gun in hand holstered it.

"What are you anyway?…" I muttered to myself.

"I'm detecting radio signals finally, I think we are approaching civilization." Rose said with a lot of enthusiasm while gesturing where to go.

I put my helmet on and started off in the direction she put in my HUD while the curious little creature was humming to itself on my shoulder blissfully.
