Internals fried and melted away, with force upon compounding force, that was all Aello could take. It reared itself back before firing off a powerful fusion rail shot, carving a line through the stone edifices of the Burning Shrine. And then, it fell. It fell to the ground and ceased to function, motor functions disabled from traumatic damage. Without Aello to lead them, the rest of the Vex collasped to a knee, disappearing from the battlefield with a flash of blue. As it seemed, for now, the battle had drawn itself to a close. The Cetus flew away, off towards an imposing Citadel in the Fields of Glass.

The Disciples of Osiris erupted into unamious cheer, for a hard earned victory. "Rejoice, brothers and sisters! Victory is ours!" Reina could be heard shouting. For them, this was probably an every day occurance.

Arxus was still inside the shrine, having been fighting off numerous Vex by himself when Aello finally bit the big one. Arxus collapsed onto his rear and just panted, clutching Bolt Caster in his hands. What remained in the shrine was rubble and cold corpses of bronze, scores of Vex slaughtered in the name of survival. The entire battlefield was littered with a sea of these lifeless machines, as a testament to the Guardians' determination and fortitude. Arxus eventually stumbled out of the shrine, and saw what destruction his allies had wrought. Aello laid there, intact but immobile. Maybe they could find some information from it, and find out where to go next.
