Skye groaned. "You just had to..." More Predators came. They were mostly mutated wolves, bats, eagles and cats, but they were roughly five until ten meters, dwarfing even Galadriel.
Some had crystals on their backs. Some had wings. Some had their spines, twisted and bent, which turned into something alike a thorn.
"You take the big one I take the rest?" Skye offered Galadriel, who shook her head.
'Not very likely to happen, Skye.'

Skye made two fireballs appear, as she flew up and they shot towards the Apex. Most of the other Predators tried to avoid Didact's attacks, but many of them were destroyed. Eventually, they did something different. The Apex roared as two mutant worms were summoned. They burrowed straight towards Didact, unseen and invisible to most.

The Apex roared as it sent blast of blue energy towards the worm, as it disintegrated. It fixed it's red eyes on to Didact. Skye yelled as her whips cracked through the air, and a long and deep gash appeared on the Apex's shoulder. The gash was on fire, but the Apex paid it no mind.
It roared, as many new Predator emerged. Aqua had her hands filled with the mutated birds, while Galadriel was busy destroying every Predator that came near her. As a mutated boar charged right at her, she threw her magic at it and the boar was destroyed.

The Didact looked back at the Apex. He took out his recharged Scattershot and started shooting Predetors while heading towards the Apex. "I get sent to Earth..." He disintegrated a Predetor, "find three survivors in a non-habitable zone..." He dodged a Predetors diving for his head, "I'm fighting animals that remind me of the Watchers back home..." He broke into a run, "and this fifteen metre thing is trying to stare me down? Okay, now I am officially pissed!"

Skye cracked her whips as she was cornered by three mutated birds. They all were black, and their eyes shone with an unnatural light.
"Stay back, you spawns of hell!" Skye yelled as long, fiery gashes appeared at their underbelly, and even on the beak for a particularly unlucky bird.

'Skye, are you alright?'
"Yeah, I am. Though you might have to ask Didact that question, too. He looks pretty gross, if you ask me."
'And you need to learn to hold your tongue.'

'Does he remind you of anybody, Skye?' Galadriel asked the Mutant, who shrugged.
"His weapons remind me of a particular game, I believe it was called Hello or something of that sort. Why?" Skye answered.
'He reminds me of Fëanor. A little, but the resemblance is there.'
"Who?"
'Fëanor, a student of Mahtan, and creator of the Silmarils.'
"Hmm... he's your uncle, right?"
'Sometimes Skye, I wonder why you seem to have such a scattered memory. But yes, he is. Also, where is Curtis?'
"Who?"

'Nevermind.' Galadriel answered back before turning her attention to Didact. "To answer your question, this happened because of an accident, which in turn caused global collapse. Trade ceased, and humans struggle to survive this new and harsh environment. Many have died, and many more are dying."
"And certain forces are coming to Earth. I suspect you're one of them, Didact." Skye said to the Forerunner, while she looked at the area. "Where are we?" She asked Galadriel.
'The plaza where we first met. I figured that if the Predators didn't hear your shouting here when we did, they would not hear it now.'

Quill blinked several times. "Ho... How, Di....did I get Here in a flash!?" Quill stuttered. Murphy got out of the bag and began to fly around the room, occasionly swooping down to get a normal, non-mutated worm. Quill removed his goggles and began to clean them.
'Skye, what are you doing?' Galadriel asked, a note of concern in her voice.
"It doesn't matter. Sooner or later, somebody will recognize you." Skye pointed out.
'I would rather it be later.'
"Do what you can today. Finish all you can today. Never delay. It may lead to ruin."
'Very well, but I will bind him so that he does not reveal my name. I will test him, as I have tested all others. Is that acceptable?'
"Yes. Thanks."

"I am Galadriel, niece of Feanor and Lady of Light. Now, do you recognize me?" She asked.

"Quill, brace yourself. She can get pretty creepy sometimes." Skye warned.
