*Kill the Fist of Crota 

==Transcript==
'''{Loading Screen}'''

*'''[[Eris Morn]]''': We went to the [[Moon]] seeking vengeance, but it found us first: Crota, the Son of [[Oryx]]. We'd never faced anything like him. In the end, only I was left. Crota and his armies destroyed our Moon. If we don't stop them, I fear Earth will suffer the same fate. 

'''{Gameplay}'''

''[[The Guardian]] lands in [[The Blast]], where a large battle rages between [[Fallen]] and [[Hive]]. A Skiff drops off Fallen troops, running into the fray. A piercing, inhuman shriek is heard, and a large [[Wizard]] appears behind the group of Hive. With another shrill cry, [[Omnigul, Will of Crota]], summons more Hive enemies, including [[Thrall]], [[Knight]]s and [[Cursed Thrall]].''

*'''Eris''': [[Sardon, Fist of Crota|Sardon]] commands the Hive spawn on Earth. Search [[The Grotto]]. Find this monster, and see to his end. 

''The Guardian defeats the enemies, and Omnigul disappears.''

*'''Eris''': Sardon is the first of Crota's disciples. His army helped shatter the Moon and claim it for his master. His presence here is a sign—the Hive are preparing to wake Crota's Soul. 

''Upon entering the [[Refinery]], a loud metal grinding sound is heard around the corner. The Guardian stops to investigate. Three [[Acolytes]] are kneeling in a circle, a green cloud swirling above them. The noise intensifies, and the cloud grows, turning into a large Knight with a [[Cleaver]]. The Guardian kills the Knight and the worshipping Acolytes. The [[Blade of Crota]] falls to the floor, and the Guardian picks it up, using the weapon of [[Darkness]] against Thrall, Acolytes and Knights in the adjoining room. The Guardian continues into the winding tunnels in The Grottos.''

*'''Eris''': I survived for years in the tunnels under the Moon, using the shadows as the Hive do. Keep your eyes open. 

''Arriving in the waterlogged caves, the Guardian comes across a much larger cloud of Darkness. Upon inspecting it, A Dark Burden weighs heavily upon the Guardian's back, limiting their movements. With a roar, Sardon, the Fist of Crota appears. Fighting despite their burden, the Guardian eventually kills Sardon, and the haze is lifted.''

*'''Eris''': Now that Sardon has fallen, come see me. There is more to do. The rest of Crota's disciples will not cease until Earth is ready for their master's return.
