(Sorry for my inactivity. A week or so ago I was given a deadline of last Monday for quite a large coursework. Several days past the deadline, and 42,000 words later, I'm done. So, I should be more active now.

So, introducing Avori. Here goes...)

As he swerves his Sparrow to avoid a Torch Hammer shot which soars right by his head, Avori shouts over the explosions and gunfire as Fallen fight the armies of Vex who had suddenly materialised around them. "What the hell happened?" Avori yells. "Did I press something I shouldn't have?"

"Because pressing something in a fallen Ketch would cause an army of Vex to appear. Right," his Ghosts' sarcastic reply seems quite relaxed given the situation.

"Shut up, I'm trying to, you know, not die!"

While he says this, he banks to the right in his Sparrow as a Hydra Disciple teleports into his way. Luckily, he does not collide with anything, and his maneuver leaves him with a clear strait leading right to the Ketch's hangar. Slamming his foot down on the boost, Avori speeds his Sparrow through the hangar and right out of the large hangar doorway. The Ketch had been parked so that the hangar at ground level when he'd boarded it, but the Ketch was beginning to take off, and so he had a drop of a few meters to deal with.

He wasn't out of the water yet, though, as quite a bit of the House of Kings strike force had been abandoned on Mars by the fleeing Ketch, and the Vex were present in number too, just as they had been in the Ketch. "Ghost, I need a way out of here, now!" Avori orders.

"On it... There!" as he says this, the Ghost places a marker on his HUD showing him an easy route through the battle.

As soon as this appears, Avori boosts again, speeding through the fray, while doing his best to dodge the combatants and other obstacles. The Fallen are far to busy fighting the Vex to worry about a Guardian who isn't currently attacking them, although Avori is hit by a Slap Rifle projectile or two.

He rounds a corner and is pleasantly surprised to find a ridge devoid of Fallen or their metallic attackers. "Bringing the Valkyrie down to meet us down by that Vex portal." Avori's Ghost informs him. "You might want to hurry, before the Vex catch up with us."

Avori does so, and speeds his Sparrow up to its maximum. However, as he is about 5m away, the Vex portal suddenly activates. Avori swears, and tries to pull away, but ends up toppling his Sparrow, and they both go tumbling through the portal.
