"Search the base! I want that thing back here and I want the other rat found!!!"
"Yes Skallus Kell!"

I poke my head out again towards the entrance to the room and all I manage to see is the back of this giant Fallen. 'Um ok this guy eating a lot. My guy lose a few pounds will ya?' I move back a bit to where I am out of sight completely and I re-enter a vent that I have just used. "Sarirah can you scan the facility for the human life form again? I need to know where I can find them." I look at my map I'm using to navigate this place.
"Michael are we really going to try and save this person? I mean to me it seems like they are not worth so much trouble." Sarirah says in a dismissive tone. "Look anyone is worth the trouble. Just because we are deep into Fallen territory doesn't mean I'll abandon some." I say back with a harsh tone.
As I am getting ready to move through the facility I suddenly hear a voice speaks into my ear. "Guardian do you copy?"
~A few hours before contact~
'What's going on? Where are we going' I think to myself and I yell out to the person in front of me. "Michael where are we going?!" He doesn't answer me he just keeps dragging me along not looking back. I feel something cold hit my back and I scream. "AAAAAAAAHHHHH" then everything goes black then I wake up with rushed breath like I woke up from a nightmare. I sit up and start breathing heavily as I check my surroundings. 'Why is everything so run down? Is this another one of Michael's pranks?'
"Hello there Guardian. Welcome back to the world of the living. You've been asleep for a long time." The little object says to me. I say to the little eye "What are you and what's going on? And what do you mean I've been asleep for a long time?" I get up from my seating position to where I'm staring at it at my eye level. "Well I'm a ghost to what I am. To what's going on is that I have just woken you up from your eternal sleep. And I mean to say you've been for a long time. 4-5 or so decades I believe." I stare at it in disbelief and I say to it "Hah, nice try but I don't believe that one bit. To be honest you have no proof that its true."
"Hmm, that's strange I don't know why you wouldn't believe me. I mean the surroundings around you are all destroyed and aged. And there are a bunch of skeletons around. What do you remember before waking up?" It asks in a confused tone. I explain to it what I remembered before. "So who was this person and what are they to you?" It says as it starts to move around me in a circle looking me up and down. "That is none of your business little eye."
"You know I have a name. Jeez its Shadow so please use my name." I laugh at its response. "Well then Shadow why didn't you just let me rest in peace huh? I didn't think I asked to be woken up after my eternal sleep?"
"Well I'm sorry but you were chosen as my guardian by the Traveler."
"Wait what's this Traveler? I've never heard of them. I don't bother the likes of those kinds of people."
"It's a celestial being that had come to humanity's attention during your Golden Age. It had helped humans upgrade their technology by a millennia. So it basically caused a lot of humanity to have an upgrade. Did you live some back country huh?"
"Y'know you ask a lot of questions so please just shut up. Now if what you are saying is true what do we need to do?"
"Well first lets find you a weapon. I'm detecting one not to far from our position." "Well then Lead the way." Shadow starts to move to a run down building that has the words 'security' right above the door.
ROOOOOAAAARRR!!!!!~
I look towards where the sound came from and quickly ask Shadow in a hurried whisper "Hey what was that noise?!"
"Well that little miss is a Fallen scavenging party. Its best we get you that weapon quickly." "Agreed." I start to run towards the door. I quickly open it, get in and closed it behind me. "Alright where is it?"
"First turn on the left and it should be on the floor." I star walking over there and when I turn the corner all I see is a body lying on the floor clutching some kind of pistol to his chest. I walk over and pick up the pistol and look it over. Its nice but it's old, I reach down and take the holster belt from its body and its holy cloak and put them on my person. "Take the helmet and body armor too. You'll need them for our journey." "No, why would I put that on?" "Well for one it provides head protection and body protection."
"Alright fine." I take off its armor and dust it off and put it on myself and then I take off its helmet and dust comes out of the hole. "Shadow is there anything you can do about this?"
"Here hold it out for me." I hold it with the hole on top and Shadow flies into the hole and a large amount of dust blows out. Shadows flies back out and disappears. "There you go it shouldn't be a problem now." I put the helmet on and the Hud lights up. "Shadow explain what I'm seeing on here." "Certainly. On the bottom left you can see that is your main part of the Hud. It holds the info on your weapons and ammo count. As well as your abilities as a Hunter. And above that is your Light Ability which we call the Golden Gun. On the top middle is more of an armor bar." I nod my head to the information I was just told. "Well then what other uses do you have Shadow?"
"Well I contact other guardians and I can scan things and activate things as well."
"Wait you can contact other Guardians?"
"Yeah the nearest one I can contact is around 300 miles north-east."
"Well contact them." I start hearing static in my ear as Shadow starts to speak. "Guardian do you copy?"
