And just like that the tides had turned. Though they had suffered some casualties due to Saffron taking cover, it was intervention from the most unlikely of sources that they at last made their push. With Graphite Daze providing artillery fire and sharing aggro with Saffron, Royal and the rest of the DPS could focus completely on the Champion. And thanks to the Scarlet Deputy, Royal finally found the window he was looking for.

[color=7851a9]“Eat this Xeno scum!”[/color] Royal muttered before pulling the trigger on his rifle and nailing his charged shot directly into the Champion’s temple. 

Watching the Champions health drop an entire percent or two from one shot relit the Cobalt marksman’s spark. He and everyone else unloaded mag after mag determined to bring thing boss down. Upon reaching 55 percent, the drones flew out once more. The Ranger mistook this to mean they had reached another phase and began following the drones flight path in an attempt to predict their attack trajectory. Once he saw the drones practically killing themselves and the Unival ascend to the skies, his heart dropped. The vice like grip he had on his weapons released and the virtual rifle crashed to the ground as he was absorbed by the burning light.

In an instant, the world faded back into view. However, the construction site that Royal had been using as cover was now a basic playground. The damage done by the massive battle was erased and everything in view was marred by a heavy green hue. Xander Aggressively pulled verdant tinted goggles from his eyes and pushed them down, leaving them dangling around his neck. Inwardly he shared the same feelings the Crusader’s Deputy vocalized over the chat. Yeah, thanks for the help Graphite. Really wish you and the rest of the Scourgers had stepped up ten minutes ago. 

Whatever. It was over. Nothing he could do now but move on. Once Saffron’s tirade had concluded, Xander gave a quick “GG” and thanked everyone for trying. Logging out of the chat himself, Xander pulled out his phone to see what other events were going on in the area.

The first thing that caught his attention was the new email in his inbox. An HGO themed bar? Heh, cool, but no thanks. Xander swiped the message away. He wasn’t looking to socialize, this sniper was ready to get back to the hunt. Pulling up the official HGO event map, he quickly scanned all the main park hubs. No other raids going on, eh? Not surprising. The Devs probably wanted every available player to try the new raid; wouldn’t want anything else distracting them.

Okay how about the dungeons? He could run a few scenarios before turning in. Squad mission, squad mission, squad mission, solo mission: required level 5… On second thought, maybe he could use a break. Xander closed out the app and reopened his email. 6th and Blanco wasn’t too far. Who knows? Maybe there was a cosmetic reward for going to this place opening night. Clicking the power on his phone, Xanded slipped the device into his pocket and headed off to The Sixth Chamber.
