As the Darkness exploded throughout the chamber which the Fireteam and Enxor were in, Avgust lifted up his arm to defend himself from the incoming blast. Unable to even see the arm literally a few centimetres away from his eyes, his Ghost Companion appeared by his side in order to try to project a light to allow the Vanguard to see. But to no avail, the Vanguard was stuck in the Darkness until the voice of Enxor boomed again.

He looked up to the bone-like head of the Hive Lord, as he drew his Thunderlord from the transmat that Svarog provided for him. A bead of sweat ran down his forehead, running down into his icy eye as he stared back into the black eyes of the Bone Wraith. He thumbed the safety switch to activate the Arc core of the Thunderlord, as he slowly raised it towards Enxor.

Avgust didn't exactly know why, but his mind dawned back onto the time at the Twilight Gap where he was ordered by Lord Saladin to pierce and exploit a break in the Fallen Offensive. The weapon in his hands brought him back to the time he lead his first Fireteam, this very weapon was the one that he used to break apart that offensive. This Fireteam was one that had moved on to their own, leaving only Avgust to accept an invitation to the Vanguard.

He smiled, remembering very well the words of one of the Hunters under his command during the Twilight Gap: "You're likely to get yourself killed out there in the Vanguard, and I won't be there to have your back." He laughed quietly upon remembering this, as he looked briefly towards the Guardians on his right hand side.

She was right, he was likely going to get himself killed in the Vanguard. But he wasn't going to let it be because he wasn't careful, or because he wasn't that great of a leader. It was because he was willing to give his life to ensure the job is done, to make sure that these Guardians make it out alive.

Sara approached his left hand side, raising her Unfriendly Giant as she looked back at Enxor. She glanced briefly back at Avgust, watching her Fireteam leader as she built up her motivation to stand against the Bone Wraith. She wasn't willing to allow her experience with the dark being to affect her now, as she wasn't willing to go back to such a pitiful state.

Sara wasn't willing to allow her Fireteam to fight Enxor while she stood by idly. What her visions told her is that if she didn't act, then what she saw would happen. But if she had acted upon her knowledge, then the Fireteam might, and will be able to manage the Bone Wraith.

"This is it, Avgust." Sara spoke quietly, "we know what we need to do. On your command, Lieutenant."

Avgust looked over briefly, smiling before he looked back to Enxor. "Enxor, Bone Wraith. Fitting we find you already in your grave. You speak of our destruction, but I will assure you that you are already walking «kosti»—I will personally see to it that you will be reduced to nothing but ash. We have come far, to see that we defend all that we have. I have a motivation to see that my people are safe from you. What do you have? Nothing but the «pustota» of the Darkness, something which is easy to lose. We have a Light. We have something to see, and to me? Being able to see what the Darkness has in store is damn «otvratitel'nyy»."

He paused, looking back at his Fireteam: "Fireteam Argus! Let us get it done!"
