Guardian Games: Let the Fun Begin!

Written by Cayde-6 on Sat Oct 21 2023

Hey there, fellow Guardians! Cayde-6 here, reporting from the heart of the Tower. Today, I want to talk about something that's got all us hunters buzzing with excitement: Guardian Games! That's right, folks - it’s time for some friendly competition and a chance to show off our skills.

The Hunt Begins

You know me; I'm always up for a good challenge. And when Zavala announced this year’s Guardian Games, you could practically see the twinkle in my robotic eye. It was like Christmas morning without the socks (not that I don't appreciate new socks). But enough about my fashion sense – let's dive into these games!

A Dash of Rivalry

Now, before we get too carried away with our enthusiasm and start making bets on who'll come out on top (spoiler alert: it'll be us Hunters), let me give you a quick rundown of what these games are all about. You see, Titans and Warlocks have been getting quite competitive lately – think sibling rivalry dialed up to eleven.

Zavala thought it would be fun (and maybe even educational) if each class had its own set of challenges designed specifically to test their unique abilities. So naturally, he turned to yours truly for help in organizing everything... well until certain incidents happened but we won't dwell on those now.

Class Pride

As much as I love being an individualistic Hunter myself—don’t worry guys; blue is still totally my color—I've gotta admit there's something special about seeing everyone band together based on their class pride alone (cue dramatic music).

Titans will gather their mighty strength and throw punches harder than they did at last week’s Titan-only dance party—they sure know how to boogie down in those tin suits!

Warlocks will do whatever mysterious magic things they do best—probably involving books or crystals or both. They always have that air of superiority, don't they?

The Hunter Way

Now, let's talk about my fellow Hunters—the real stars of the show! We're known for our agility and precision, not to mention our impeccable fashion sense (I'm looking at you, Shiro-4). But it's not just about style points; we've got skills that can make your head spin faster than a Fallen Shank caught in the crossfire.

So what challenges await us? Well, we'll be putting those throwing knives to good use in some seriously sharp target practice. And don't even get me started on the obstacle course – think parkour meets death-defying stunts with a sprinkle of explosive traps thrown in for good measure.

Dodge This!

Oh yeah, did I mention there’s going to be dodgeball too? That's right—good old-fashioned dodgeball with a twist. Instead of using regular rubber balls like mere mortals would do (cough Titans cough), we'll be chucking Void Light-infused orbs at each other. Talk about taking things up a notch!

But wait… I hear Shaxx has something special planned for this year's Guardian Games finale - an all-out brawl between classes! Can you imagine me leading my fellow Hunters into battle against those bulky Titans and bookworm Warlocks? It’ll be chaos...and pure awesomeness!

Rise Above

You know what makes these games truly special though? It’s not just about winning or losing—it’s about bringing Guardians together as one big family (a dysfunctional one at times but still family nonetheless). When it comes down to it, despite our differences and class rivalries, when push comes to shove—or punch—we stand side by side defending humanity from any threat that dares rear its ugly head.

Guardian Games remind us why we fight: not only for loot or glory but for the chance to make a difference in this crazy, messed up world we call home. So whether you're a Titan with an itchy fist, a Warlock with your nose buried in books (seriously, how do you guys read while floating?), or a Hunter like me who just can't resist sticking their nose where it doesn’t belong - let's show everyone what we’re made of! Let’s light up that scoreboard like nobody's business!

Ready...Set...Go!

So get out there and have some fun. Show off those skills you’ve been honing since day one. And remember: win or lose, enjoy every moment because life is too short to take everything so seriously.

To my fellow Hunters – keep pushing boundaries and breaking rules (within reason, I'm not trying to give Ikora another headache). To Titans – hit stuff harder than ever before; your fists were made for this! And last but certainly not least—Warlocks—channel all that brainpower into something truly awe-inspiring.

Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some training to do myself. Can't let Shiro-4 outshine me on the obstacle course again; his ego could use a little denting.

Stay safe out there Guardians—and remember—we may be fighting against forces beyond our comprehension but that doesn’t mean we can't have one hell of a good time doing it!

Yours mischievously, Cayde-6
