(Yes. But the blades aren't on them.)

Sara dashed behind cover, where she found her place right next to another Guardian sitting behind the wall. They kneeled and kept absolutely still, ignoring Sara as she took a place next to him at the way that led out into the open. She prepared her Arminius-D, lowering her sights as she attempted to spot out the Vex.

"I killed him." The other Guardian spoke. Sara looked back towards him, trying to decipher what exactly he was trying to say. However, it soon became very clear what he had meant. She lowered her head, not exactly sure what to say.

"More will be dead if you don't hope." She eventually found herself saying, hoping that it would motivate the Guardian. Sara wasn't good with this sort of stuff. Not in the way that Avgust was, not in the way many other Guardians were.

"I killed a Guardian. I willingly killed a Guardian."

"How could you have known this was going to happen? Anyone would have made the same mistake."

"I didn't stop myself from pulling the trigger."

"Stop." Sara eventually found herself saying, as the Guardian turned to look at her. She felt uncomfortable with what she was doing, she wasn't sure if this move was meant to mean he was listening to her—or that he was ready to challenge her. She took in a deep breath before continuing:

"You are a Guardian. I'm a Guardian. This was a Crucible match, and we were expected to fight each other. The Vex found us and now we can't revive them for whatever reason. Don't blame yourself for this, who could have ever known until they themselves pulled the trigger? We need your help now, because we want to make it out alive. I'm sure you want to make it out alive as well. So please, I'm asking you to take this chance to help make the best out of a shitty situation. Please?"

The Guardian only shook his head, seemingly unimpressed by the performance. A particle beam slapped against the wall behind the two, as the Guardian sat still. "I'll be here for my judgement." He replied. Sara was about to go for another round at debating this, but eventually considered it worthless. If he wasn't willing to help, he wouldn't help. She couldn't decide for him.

But still, the Vex were approaching. She could already make out the bodies of orange Goblin frames making their way towards the Burning Shrine. She couldn't tell who was going ti open fire first.

The Vex which challenged Scythe roared, going in for another volley of strikes against the Hunter. Suddenly, the other Vex repurposed their firing aim and began to fire at the Pike instead. They were not going to guarantee the Guardian a simple way out of this situation.
