(Intermission: This has nothing to do with the actual story I just think it'd be funny)
Kei transmatted out of Scythe's jumpship, landing on the currently empty landing pad of the Lighthouse. It almost seemed like a ghost town, as most others, excluding a few maintenance frames, had moved elsewhere. He sighed and muttered to himself, "Forgotten again huh?"
He summoned his ghost and removed his helmet, "Am I really that forgettable?"
His Ghost's shell rotated a few times as she replied, "If I was not constantly inside of your head, I would most likely forget you as well."
Kei rolled his eyes and began walking towards the cluster of main buildings, "Gee, love you too..."
"What's tha-", Kei stopped as his Ghost was cut off mid sentence.
"Ghost?", he called to her, glancing around himself. For a minute he feared that the Vex Mind had found a way to once again block his connection to his Ghost. However these fears were put to rest, albeit rather suddenly when he was grabbed by an invisible force. He struggled against the unseen enemy, fighting to free himself.
After a white flash Kei vanished.
The Warlock fell a few feet into the dirt, rolling before settling into a crouch and raising his fists. His weapons were gone, pulled right out of their holsters by the invisible entity.
"If I show myself. Will you set me on fire or something?", a slightly synthetic voice called out.
Kei turned in a circle in an attempt to find the source of the voice, "Depends. Where is my Ghost."
"Your Ghost is fine, I just stunned it for a minute."
Kei lowered his fists an inch, "And my weapons?"
Susanoo and the rest of his gear fell out of thin air onto the ground.
The Guardian scrambled and snached up the weapons, sliding them into their respective places on his person.
"So I'll ask again. If I drop my cloak, will you shoot me?", the voice called out again.
Kei sighed, "I guess not. Either you can kill me faster than I can shoot you, or you really aren't an enemy."
An exo seemed to pop into existance right in front of the Warlock, causing him to flinch in a startled manner.
The Exo stretched his arms upwards and did a few stretches. (however unnecessary they may have been) He turned back to Kei and clapped his hands together, "Now, this is purely hypothetical. But, say I'm a time traveller. And the only way I can effectively function outside of my timeline is, say a computer chip with the memories of my future self that I could download into my head." Kei only blinked in confusion as the Exo continued, "The Problem- sorry Hypothetical problem- that I would have is that I need to find the deceased body of my future self in order to know what happens." The Exo teleported himself next to the Kei and drapped an arm over his shoulder, "What I'm trying to say is that if this story was not completely made up and not at all the truth. Where would I find my- I mean the -body of my future self?"
Kei removed the Exo's arm and took a few seps away, "Are you... The Stranger? I've heard rumors about the Stranger before but... Weren't you a girl?"
The Exo stomped his foot, "I'm not the Fucking Stranger! Ugh! Fine! I'll find this hypothetical future body of mine myself!"
Kei was once again enveloped in a flash of light, reappearing on the landing pad of the Lighthouse.
"-at?", his Ghost said from her place beside him, as if finishing her sentence from earlier.
Kei glanced around, his confusion only growing as he realized that nothing seemed out of place at all.
"Kei? Are you ok?", his Ghost asked.
Kei shook his head in an attempt to clear it, "Uh... I'm fine... I think... I need to ask Scythe what was in those painkillers they used on me during surgery..."
His Ghost paused in thought, "Okkkkkaaaaayy... Weirdo..."
(Poorly written time consuming trash! And again, this has nothing to do with the story. I just got bored...)
