I got some more Frontier merchants and Firefights! And by the way, a couple of things...

1. I'm thinking of backstories for Count Beriks and Bracus Kou'ranic, though I'm not too sure what to put. Inquisitor, if you wanna help me out here, I'd be grateful. Of course, I got some ideas; Beriks being a rouge House of Devils vandal, and Bracus being a Colossus that was spared in battle by the Frontier Master in exchange for his service and loyalty to the faction.

2. I noticed last time I said, "Frontier-style" and about Syrianna having a faction emblem on her robes. To clarify:


 * Frontier has a rugged, survivalist style, often charactized by fur of bears and other animals. armor of enemies, and a coloring of red and white.


 * The Frontier emblem is two, white assault rifles crossed on a red background, with a red star above the rifles.

Mason Steele

A Human Titan wearing Froniter-styled Knight Type armor; He sells armor that focuses on Frontier needs, such as more ammo and higher protection. Mason was a Guardian, though he never made use of his skills; Instead, he makes armor for fellow Frontiersmen, as the former armor vendor died in an attack on the Frontier base.

Chrome 97-60

A gold and black Frame, carrying a shotgun over its shoulder. He sells class items that boost Frontier reputation, device shells, and jumpships. Chrome was originally a Reef Frame, before being stolen by a Wolf leader and eventually ending up in the hands of the Frontier.

Keeper Satoro

An Awoken, wearing the outfit of the Queen's Royal Guard; Once the Firefight Scourge of Wolves is completed, you can buy a cell from the Prison of Elders that has a powerful enemy that is forced to fight alongside the Frontier. It's shuffled every week, and different enemies can be bought each week with a Token of Retribution, obtained from killing Wolves.

Earth Firefights

Devilship Serix-Fel

Mission Type: Major

''"Well, Beriks managed to pull some strings. Miracle worker he is, he 'convinced'...Well, I use that term loosely, a Devil Archon, Zexis, and a High Servitor, Serix* Minor, to defect to the Frontier. But, here's the good part. The duo, with a group of defected Fallen, stole a KETCH, then raided a munitions cache on the Moon. Strong force, these Fallen are. Now, we need you to protect them so they can reach Earth intact. If the other Houses or the Cabal reach the Generator Room, the Ketch will decimate the entire surrounding area, and our new allies. Keep those things safe." -Mason Steele''

Map: The loading bay of a Ketch; A wide open area, with stairwells leading to platforms attached to the walls. The Harvesters and Skiffs come into the ship from a shielded entrance to the far right of the map. The Generator Room that you must protect is on the far left, with a small entrance leading to the munitions.

Also in place are two usable assets in the fight; The first are Fallen sentry-like devices that are stationed strategically around the map that help in destroying the onslaught of enemies. These are destroyed easily, however, so a Guardian must reactivate the guns when they are deactivated. The second is a hatch in the middle of the enemies spawn and the munitions, that when activated from the highest point on the map, sends enemies adrift in space. Guardians have to be careful not to in range of the hatch, though, and it can be used for one wave only.

This Firefight is NEARLY finished, I just need a boss. I was thinking something along the lines of a House of Kings Prime Servitor, though I'll take what I can get. But anyway, afterwards:

''"The enemy retreats back to the holes of which it came...Such a lovely sight. Guardian, Zexis and Serix will make powerful partners in the fight to reclaim areas we lost to Darkness. Don't let this get to your head like Paeta and Syrianna, though. We still have a long fight ahead of us. But this fight will be a better one with these two allies and this marvelous Ketch. Go ahead and celebrate, just remember; More fights are on the way." Mason Steele''

Moon Firefights

Breeding Grounds

''"After much deliberation, it seems we can't make Taken or Hive our allies. They are creatures of misery, despair....Killing their gods didn't help the situation either, but that's not your fault. However, we can at least hurt the Hive by taking their Summoning Pits; Just get rid of all the Hive protecting them, and we'll take care of the rest. Who knows....We may even breed our own creatures..." -Syrianna Cayn''

Map: 4 Summoning Pits where the Hive spawn are in the center of the map, in a chamber deep within the Hellmouth. Little strips of land separate the pits, so you have to be careful not to fall in when fighting enemies. Several new enemies appear here:


 * Hidden Blades: Major Knights that wield Cleavers; Occassionally, some will appear with a message; The Blades challenge Guardians. From there, 5 Guardians are given a limited field of view and a Cleaver. The Blades can only be damaged by Guardians who were challenged. Once killed, their swords can be used.


 * Ritual Wizards: Regular Wizards, but with one special power; If caught in the larger dark field they make when their shields are down, the Guardians will become trapped in a sphere of Darkness, that will consume them if another Guardian doesn't kill the Wizard quickly. A message will appear:  is being consumed.

I need a boss for this...Inquisitor? Be a dear? :3 But after!
 * Shifters: Major Acolotyes, that turn into a disguise of a Guardian in the team; The way you can tell if a Shifter is near is if a Health Bar and Shield appear over the player's name, once you attack them, they turn back into Acolotyes. Shifters will attempt to get behind a player and shoot them, causing massive damage.

''"Okay, that's the last of the Hive abominations....They won't start making more until later, and we have to preclude that. A former Guardian you may know is going to help us figure out what to do with these summoning pits...Eris Morn. Thanks for the help, Guardian. This could be the beginning of something beautiful." -Paeta-22''

I came up with a Cabal story, also! Summary:

''The Cabal have begun war on Guardians. The Forge Masters are coming to power, and they are battle-hardened and ready to destroy the City and claim the Traveler as its own. The F.W.C is helping Guardians prepare for the fight by finding Golden Age relics that can assist in the fight, when a shocking secret is revealed.''

''A Warmind that helped protect Mars before being destroyed. Anastasia, has been reactivated and ready to help the light fight the Darkness again, but the Cabal have been suppressing it's advances to reach out to Guardians by using captured Vex and Golden Age technology and they have been trying to make Anastasia their own. With this new ally in danger of being destroyed or turned against the Light, It's up to a fireteam of Guardians to reclaim the Warmind for an ally.''

What do you think?

.*Yes, I know the Devils have Servitors that are named Sepiks, but he was renamed after Zeksis decided to go rouge.
