Chapter 3: Solar Showdown: Guardian vs. [Redacted] the Minotaur

All I see Infront of myself is a bull with brown hide and red eyes. And Jesus Christ he's tall. Over two meters. (to my fellow Americans this minotaur height is 6'8") By chance is his name Requis? I finally got two knifes on my hands. Why do I have what I assume to be a katana on my hip?

"Charmaine thank you for the knifes but why do I have a sword on my hip" (Is this really the time for you to have a conversation there a minotaur starting to charge at you.)

[Remember that old man named Zelretch gave it to me. Well, you have it now and honestly its screams exotic. Actually, Its rarer than that. From the data that Zelretch gave me. Someone by the name of B2 use this sword.] Huh, that's kind of neat, I remember playing nier automata first mission before my console told me you can't have this game. I'm like Bruh I don't wanna waste money of games. [CHRIS ITS COMING AT YOU]

But that's not the Point. [DODGE] I can maybe try some demon slayer shit with this sword. [NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO INTERMONOLOGUE] What type of techniques and breathing style should I do with this sword? [BY THE FUCKING TRAVELER I HAVE A STUPID GUARDIAN.]

"I'm not stupid, wait." I'm about to get hit, aren't I? Yup I'm getting my shit rocked hard.

The minotaur rammed into me using his horns and all I could hear is very loudly. "G̶̨͎͎͓̫̝̙̮͚͓̬͎̬̩̰͍̲̀͋̎̈́̌͋̑͌̍̊̈̒̂̐̈́̈̕̚A̷̧̨̡̺̺͇̺̬̖̥̘̩͙̬͓̩͖͈̱̪̖̠̝̣̲͍̋͒̈́͊͜͜ͅM̸̤͈̰͎͙̭͇͎̟͙̰͎̙̗̰̜̰͓͈̅͆́̀͊̉͑͑̑̇͘͝ͅͅͅȨ̵̧̱̯͎̭̦̼͚͂̍̾͆͛̈́̓̈́̍̌̐̾̂̎͌̿̑͒̎̚̚̚͝͠"

[….. I think I'm being punished by the traveler. Or better yet I think I'm being punished by cayde-6 for eating his ramen. Guardian down]

(The minotaur is beating his chest claiming victory.)

(Round 2 Start)

"Ugh, I definitely need to work on being aware of my surroundings and not treat this as a game"

[Okay, let's get down to business Chris. Why didn't you listen to me. This has happened several times. And I hope to the traveler it's a good excuse because I will remove your genitalia] (OH SHIIIIIITTTT RUNAWAY CHRIS RUNAWAY) I have to tell her the truth. Don't want it to cause problems later down the road.

"This is going to sound very delusional and crazy. I Remember my past and not only that I know where you come from" I kind of want to kill that minotaur too. Don't know what type of loot I get. (Is your hunter side taking over? Where is the warlock that should be keeping you alive!)

[I CALL BULLSHIT. ALMOST AS BULLSHIT AS CAYDE HAVING MARA SOV NUDES.]

"ROOOAAAARRRRR" IT'S THE FUCKING MINOTAUR AGAIN, IM BACK IN THE FUCKING PLACE I DIED.

The Minotaur definitely looks very confused that it killed me. Probably questioning life. Don't get distracted Chris make a plan.

1st step, gather your solar energy around you and focus it on the knifes. 2nd step, aim at the minotaur. 3rd step, throw it at him. And I failed. Wait one is stuck on his left arm near his shoulder.

"The katana it is. I don't know much but, breathe and stay calm. The mind of warrior should always be focused and aware. Let my emotions flow and used when needed."

[Are you insane you don't know how to fight that thing.]

"I'm going to have to try aren't i? Besides I have to learn to use solar energy." I pulled the sword out without trying to damage its sheath, I fail a little. I prepare a stance that feels like I've known it.

I breathe out and remember the words my grandma used to say. Because you failed doesn't mean you gave up. Try it again from another angle and channel it. Go with the flow.

I breathe in again. I picture a campfire being light and the wood being burned, the sword gets coated in orange flames. "2nd round you bastard. And this time I'm taking your horns as loot."

"GRAAAAAAAAAAAWR" It took the knife that was impaled on his left arm. Using his right pointing at me. To fight him.

"You may not understand me (you don't know what universe you are in mate) but our battle will be legendary"

"F̶̨̞̜̘͇̈̃̆́̅̏̓́͘̚͘͝ ̸̣͙̙̙̟̼̗͎͈̞̩̺͆͌̏̇̇͑̅̀̐̌̆͜Į̶̗͚͙̺͙̫͔̲͚͖̄ ̷̹̜͉̹͈͖͂͑̅̀͛͗̋́́̕͝G̸̨̡̜̤̣̦̗͓̤̼̠̘̃̆̀̓̽ ̸͔̮̦̻̠̻̻̭̝̯̪͓͑͂̊͒̀͊͂̏͂͝ͅH̸̢̝̠̠͕̮̮̲̑̓̏͊͐ ̷̧̮̼̩̞̭̱̫̟̭̰͓̑̈́͋̕͜ͅT̷̟͇̗̗̲͎͖̹̙͓͈̩̗̠͎̉̓̄͂̾̇́̅͝ ̵͖͙̞͔͎͍͖̖̭̆̐͜͝Ḿ̴̡̢̨̛̯͚̲͓̈́̑̆̄̊͊ ̴̧̢̤͕̻̞̖̫̭̪̠͇͎̈̿͂̄͜ͅE̸̛̗̲̜̬͇̣͂́̈̔̿̊̀͑̎̋̊́̕͜" Did it just talk to me. I think I'm starting to go crazy because of dying a few times. Anyways, I will have its Horns for LOOT.

"Since I have solar, I could make techniques out of it." I mutter while I stare at my opponent's red blood lusted eyes

Inhale then Exhale. Solar Breathing Heart and Embers dash and slash.

(proceeds to slice the minotaur's injured arm but hits a wall causing another death) Got its arm. Wait its that a wall? sigh "Just accept death Chris."

[Guardian down. That was a better try than your first I'll give you that.] I get revived but I can hear her sighing at me. I have to do better.

(Round 3 Begin)

"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA." I see the minotaur charging at me with my knife. Then I shall do the same BY APROACHING HIM.

I BEGAN TO SPRINT AT IT. "I SHALL LET YOUR SOUL GO IN PEACE. BEGONE CORRUPTED SOUL" Solar breathing Fire's Dead end. My sword blocks his charging attack. I have one choice right here. Punch him really hard. And grab my knife back.

I hard my grandma's words once more. Which I proceed to punch it in the throat making it get disoriented and dropping the knife. I went to grab my knife back.

Let it flow through you my little captain. Coating my fists in Solar energy and radiating my fury against it.

"In the Crucible of combat, my enemies shall face what's true. As I invoke the power of the sun, in battles, I'll construe. With Solar's might and Relentless Rage. MY DESTINY'S CAST, SOLAR ONSLAUGHT, UNLEASHED AT LAST!"

* Achievement Unlocked: Reinventing the solar subclass. *

"Lucha Libre style, get set. GO." Every step I took began burning the ground. All to reach it. "I SHALL NAME YOU REQUIS."

[Did it just speak to us Guardian?] I don't know why but I have a genuine smile on my face.

"Charmaine Requis spoke to us. Now I shall conclude his words. In honor of him speaking his heart out" The solar around my hands began changing color. From its orange color to a vibrant blue.

"Come Requis. Let's test our might in MORTAL KOMBAT."

Just like that. Something snap. Both him and I began charging at each other. He manages to get the first hit on my face. Hurt like a bitch.

Thinking his punch was enough. I punched him where the human liver should be with my left arm. "GRAAAAAAAAAAHMPPP" I did leave embers burning on his right side.

He tried grabbing my face. Which he succeeds. What he didn't expect for me to hit his chin with both of my feet. I began to realize im going to fall on my back. I let my arms extend behind my head. Making the solar flames make an explosion. Propelling me towards the falling Requis.

Both my feet hitting him straight in the chest. All I hear is several things break.

"I shall do that. REQUIS YOU ARE A WORTHY WARRIOR."

My arm reaches his chest. Hist burning chest with a broken ribcage. I slowly began opening his chest, trying to grab his beating heart. You could hear his pain echoing through the tunnels of this place.

I replace it with a burning solar grenade. Slowly consuming his entire body. While his heart still beating for a few seconds. Before I Crushed it after his body became nothing but ash and dust.

[That was Brutal. What a worthy match. Wait we are getting a transmission from…. Lord Shaxx!??!!!]

"Let's hear what he has to say." So, am I just entertainment to Lord Shaxx? Groovy, very groovy.

"Now that's what I call a Solar super! This is the kind of intensity the Crucible needs. I wish I could have a front-row seat to witness such glory." To think I would hear Shaxx's actual voice giving a compliment. I think I can die in peace now.

"If I could, I'd invite you to the Crucible or even the Trials of Osiris alongside Saint-14 himself! Your prowess in battle deserves to be witnessed by all Guardians." Hold up. I don't want to be shotgun by an arc hunter again. (cue the Vietnam flashbacks)

"Hear me, Guardian! You've earned these with your relentless combat skills, and for providing great entertainment! Take these as a reward. (a solar sniper rifle, two exotics and four Crucible engrams) May they serve you well in your future battles and keep the audience thrilled!"

"Thank you, lord Shaxx. Charmaine, shall we open these engrams up?"

[We shall, I hope we get a cool weapon.]

(Chapter 3: Is It Wise to Challenge a Mythical Minotaur to a Dance-Off? Test Omake at the end limited time only)

Cayde-6: (Chuckles) Well, folks, our Guardian seems to have a knack for getting into the weirdest situations.

Shaxx: (Amused) This is a true test of their abilities. Facing a Minotaur on an alien planet armed with nothing but a set of hunter knives.

The Drifter: (Grinning) I gotta hand it to 'em. They've got guts, even if they're in over their head.

[As our Guardian prepares to face the charging Minotaur with their hunter knives, things take an unexpected turn.]

Guardian: (Nervous) Okay, Charmaine, here goes nothing.

Charmaine: [Remember, Chris, don't panic. You've got this.]

[But as they rush forward to confront the charging creature...]

Cayde-6: (Laughing) Oh, you've gotta be kidding me! It's a Minotaur! A literal Minotaur charging like a bull!

Shaxx: (Chuckling) The universe has a sense of humor, it seems.

The Drifter: (Amused) This is the kind of story you tell in the Tower for years to come.

[The Guardian's attempt to face the Minotaur ends in a comical struggle, as they're grabbed by the leg and tossed around like a ragdoll.]

Guardian: (Yelling) This wasn't part of the plan!

Charmaine: [Guardian down! Hang on, Chris, I'm resurrecting you.]

[With the Guardian needing a revive and the Minotaur having an unexpected encounter of its own, the commentary team can't help but find humor in the situation.]

Cayde-6: (Laughing) Well, that didn't go as expected!

Shaxx: (Chuckling) Our Guardian's resilience is impressive.

The Drifter: (Grinning) I gotta say, this is better than any Gambit match I've seen.

[As the Guardian gets back on their feet and prepares for round two, the commentary team eagerly watches to see how they'll handle the Minotaur this time.]

Cayde-6: (Surprised) Hold on to your hats, folks! It turns out we're dealing with a real-deal Minotaur here, not the Vex imitation!

Shaxx: (Eager) A genuine Minotaur! This just got even more interesting!

The Drifter: (Amused) Well, ain't this a twist? Our Guardian's in for a wild ride.

[With the realization that they're facing a bona fide Minotaur, our Guardian readies themselves for round two.]

Guardian: (Determined) Alright, Charmaine, let's show this Minotaur what we're made of.

Charmaine: [You've got this, Chris. Stay sharp.]

[As the Minotaur charges again, the Guardian prepares to face the creature head-on.]

Cayde-6: (Excited) This is what I'm talking about! Guardian, show that Minotaur who's boss!

Shaxx: (Pumped) Let the battle rage on! This is where legends are born!

The Drifter: (Grinning) Time to see if our Guardian can wrangle a real Minotaur. Gambit's got nothing on this!

[The clash between Guardian and Minotaur unfolds, and this time, our Guardian seems to be holding their ground better.]

Guardian: (Focused) It's you or me, big guy!

Charmaine: [Stay agile, Chris. You've got the Light on your side.]

[With each swing of their hunter knives and each dodge of the Minotaur's attacks, the Guardian begins to gain the upper hand.]

Cayde-6: (Cheering) Now we're talking! Go, Guardian, go!

Shaxx: (Roaring) This is the spirit of a true warrior!

The Drifter: (Impressed) I gotta hand it to 'em. They've got grit.

[As the battle rages on, it becomes evident that our Guardian's determination and newfound combat skills are making a difference.]

Guardian: (Victorious) Gotcha!

Charmaine: [Well done, Chris! You did it!]

[With the Minotaur defeated, the commentary team can't help but applaud our Guardian's resilience.]
