Chapter 25 - Rasputin is Surprisingly Friendly

Once the world around us had reconstructed to a decrepit building. With me and Myriad on our backs like we just took a nap looking at the ceiling. A little mechanical creature thats a ghost flew infront of my face. It looked between me and Myriad before just doing a double take.

"Hello guardian welcome back to life you fell during the great collapse. I'm your ghost but you can call me Wrathos... strange that the name came to me suddenly. Anyways for some reason you have both the influence of the Darkness and Traveler in you. Along with the fact that only you were supposed to be revived. But a strange EXO wolf revived along with you guardian."

Though the ghost sounded my wife Laura its not her really. Its just ghost I made and tweaked to sound like her sadly.

"Well morning Wrathos, I'm Biazar the pup beside me is Myriad. You probably revived us both since Myriad is my companion forever. Where I go she'll follow right behind me closely. Its been that way since twenty years before the collaspe. Since in my twenty-five years operations my company suddenly made her. So for the twenty years up till the collaspe we were together wandering warzones."

I spouted the most believable lie out of my ȧss suddenly that I thought of. Which seems to have worked as Wrathos thought on it before accepting it. However, she seems to have a question for me that is important to her.

"Well okay then Biazar nice to meet you and Myriad. We'll be working together from now as guardian and ghost. But how do you remember your last life? Though its interesting to learn you were in operation for forty-five years and that Myriad was online for twenty years. But three hundred years have passed since you both were last operational."

Hearing that this is at least four hundred twenty-five years before the first game. Got me thinking but first I want off this floor. The ceiling is getting old to look at in all its hole filled glory. So standing up I dust my self off and then dust off Myriad. As I answer Wrathos question about the memory bit.

"Simple little light even though you counted us as dead. We both have been alive but well stuck in a dead state. Also even though the Traveler has helped us for so long. Our memories are our own, only we can decide what we forget. But you know getting a Cabal lance through the ċhėst from behind. Then hurled down a hallway and left to shut down hurts to experience."

Wrathos could only stare at us both before giving a chuckle. So since I have nothing on me I have Myraid. Give me A Traitor's Fate, Midnight Coup, Ghost Primus, and Trinity Ghoul out of her armory. I had A Traitor's Fate strapped to my hip and Midnight Coup to my ċhėst armour. Ghost Primus was on my right shoulder ready just in case. While I held Trinity Ghoul and made an arrow out my power, that went soaring into a wall. Meanwhile Wrathos was watching us both before asking where we got these weapons from.

"Three hundred years ago during the wars we constantly had."

Was my answer to their question, also I just thought of an arrow and one formed. It used my new powers source and my mana that used to be locked. Speaking of which what does my status look like now?

=======================================

Huh so my human race is locked now, while my level has gone back to one. Just my stats and everything else remain the same, I can live with that. Also I guess unless I continuously fire and use abilities I'll never empty my mana. Now with that of the way I have Wrathos light up the area. So that all three of us can explore the place a bit to find an exit. That after a while of walking we come across a certain giant computer mainframe. That I couldn't help but scream at to see what happens honestly.

"Rasputin! Your still around computer is still around! Are you still operational and responsive Rasputin!"

Wrathos looks at me like I'm crazy while Myriad who is connected to my soul. Has like seen my first life memories so she's watching with interest. As we wait in silence the faint sound of a hum starts to kick in from somewhere. While the buildings old intercom systems come to life with Rasputin's voice.

"Voice unknown, Inquiry accepted, Rasputin Warmind is fully functional. Identify your self or you shall be terminated."

"EXO Biazar Myster model-0, I was here fighting with you three hundred years ago. But got a lance my ċhėst along with my companion Myriad. You probably wrote us off dead and forgot us. But well circumstances have dictated our return today. Just I'm glad seeing you still around Rasputin though, I don't remember much of you."

"second lieutenant Biazar R. Chimera of the Dragoon Mercenaries, and Myriad Chimera the first two front line fighters. During the beginning of the collaspe three hundred years ago. Took a Cabal lance through the ċhėst while covering for evacuating staff and civilians. Its good see you both have returned, would you like to access the logs of what occured. After you both fell in battle or need my help, give the word and I shall offer my ȧssistance."

Well then I guess we have a history even though we appeared today. Also my fuċkɨnġ lie actually happened?! I was just pulling that out of my ȧss really! However, it seems Rasputin is willing to offer me his help. So I signal Wrathos to get to looking through his logs while Myriad goes the prowl. Leaving me and this warmind to talk to each other so I ask him some things.

"Rasputin does this room have a functional laboratory? If so I'd like to build something's with your help."

"This room does have a working laboratory one moment and I shall uncover it. But what is it that you'd like to build?"

As the floor five feet away split open revealing a well hidden lab. I walked over to and ran my fingers across the equipment. Sure I still have my phone and things but I'll save using them. I look up at Rasputin's mainframe and begin explaining what I want.

"Well first off I want to make a Harley motorcycle but as a speeder. Then you a body as if you stay here you'll get uninvited guest eventually after you."

"Acknowledged, beginning designing and building transport. Building a body based off the Cayde series. Time till complete two days for both projects. Thank you for your advice but why do I need a body specifically?"

"Because Rasputin if you have a body you can help me even more. Your one of the best warmind humanity ever created after all! Just glad you didn't attack anyone after three hundred years!"

Right as I spoke those words the lights of the place I now know is the Cosmodrome. All the lights flickered like Rasputin was embarrassed..... I made a deadly machine act cute. I don't know how to feel about this at all honestly. As Rasputin was pretty eager to destroy things in the game! Till you started to help him survive the vex. While this all was going on though Myriad came back. Aiming the sniper barrel of Silicon Neuroma out of her mouth. At a door way and so I did a quick turn my trinity ghoul ready to fire. Wrathos is to busy reading the old logs to even care about us.

Coming out the door way is the Iron Lords, don't know how they got here but they arm. When they show up Rasputin warns me about Hellas Basin. So my guess is that they split into two groups but the ones at Hellas Basin triggered him originally. Once the Iron Lords see me and Myriad ready to fight. A big one thats a titan lifts up a war hammer ready to fight. A female member of their group raises her hand up. Halting the big guys actions while she watches me. Her ghost appearing behind her and studyinv the area.

"Haldred it appears this man and beast are both guardians linked to one ghost. Rasputin who also should of been destroyed during the collaspe. Is operational and seems to be interacting peacefully with them."

"Oh? thats interesting a ghost that has two guardians. Now speak who are you and why are you here guardian. Also why is the warmind believed to be destroyed so friendly with you?"

Rasputin seems to not like her tone as I can hear him arming the security systems. So I tell him to drive out the Hellas Basin intruders while priming the security. As for here I have him stand down but be ready to fight them. As she sees all of this, Haldred seems to get more interested. I answer her but keep my bow drawn and Myriad trains her barrel on the tanks skull.

"Recently arisen guardians Biazar and Myriad, our ghost is busy. we're here cause we died here defending Rasputins major fragment. During the start of the collaspe three hundred years ago. Now who are you lady cause I can tell you and your group are guardians."

"I am Haldred of the Iron Lords, we were here to originally to scavenge Rasputin. But I see you've already beat us to it, but that doesn't explain how you have memories. All guardians once arisen again are blank slates, but your not why?"

"Like I told my ghost Wrathos, our memories are our own Traveler or not. No one but we can choose what happens to them end of discussion. Rasputin also isn't for scavenging sure he can be crazy, but he's still a friend. As he likely kept our bodies in a state they could be fixed from even as he fell asleep."

"Affirmative, Biazar & Myriad Chimera both defended me and others. Till their fall, this unit designated them as friends. Thus I kept their bodies safe till a way to reactivate was available. Now they are back and so I shall follow their directives. As they are the last remaining ones with the authority over my systems."

Hearing that the Iron Lords seemed disgruntled while I just smiled. Seems like my history i didn't know of till now has earned me a scary friend. So I low my bow but Myriad stays ready, Rasputin having a railgun cannon coming from the ceiling. Aimed directly at the Iron Lords ready to erase them if they attack. So they are forced to relax when Rasputin repeats his warning to stand down. Now how will this all go since I've stolen Rasputin, away from basically everyone in the universe?
