Forum:Fusion

Fusion is an elemental manifestation of both the Light and the Darkness, spliced from all of the elemental manifestations of the Light - Arc, Solar, and Void - with Stasis. It has relations to Mal's powers, and is more precisely the twisted power of movement on a macroscopic and atomic level. Originally discovered by the first Guardians, Fusion energy is believed to have been created from both Light and Dark energy, along with the essence of the Crystal of Memory, giving its ability a fiery lime green hue. It is first introduced in the Paradox expansion as the first of element-fused subclasses of the Eclipse.

The First Guardians
"It seems that we're not the only Guardians chosen by the Traveler. Even before it arrived, there were others like us... those chosen to wield these dark powers."

- Eris Morn

Long before the Traveler came, there were numerous Guardians who were blessed with dark forms of magic that would later become a part of this new power, and among those Guardians were Hendrick Yor, Kaguya Narusaka, Aoi Narusaka, and Yukito Narusaka, Warlocks who were capable of mastering these forms and using them for purposes that benefited Humanity. Recruited by a lone Hunter named Lila Bray and a Titan named Darius Watanabe, they would harness this power and combine the Light with Darkness in order to create a strong sense of prosperity, peace, and unity between Humanity and numerous non-human forces. On December 31st, 1999, Kaguya gave birth to a girl named Mal, whom she and Hendrick knew would someday carry on their legacy and use this power to help bring an end to the coming war. Moments after her birth, while Lila and Darius and these Fusion-empowered Guardians were praised and commemorated by most of the Lightless civilians, some of the people, however, grew worried that their discovery would jeopardize the balance between Light and Dark or, even worse, enthrall everyone into abandoning their long-held traditions, creating a chaotic society fueled by anarchy and dark ambition in the process.

The Swordsman's Arrival
"For years, the world had been bound by aspects of a failed past, full of lies that the Traveler brought upon this universe. But, we knew the truth. In Light, there was only weakness. Only failure. Only subjugation. Only death. But where the Light took, the Dark gives. No longer will we be pawns of the Light's lies. No longer will we stand by and let those monsters and so-called heroes abuse our people. No longer will we watch the lives of those we care for be lost. In Darkness, there is only strength. Only power. Only victory. Only freedom. Only life. And we shall rise forever!"

- Kirito, bestowing the powers of Fusion upon his forces of Darkness.

Some time after Kirito and Asuna rose to power with the emergence of the Pyramids and the arrivals of the Shadowkeepers and their dark armies respectively known as the Shadow Army and Ghosts of Nagasaki during the Shadowkeeper Apocalypse, The Guardian would venture into Mars and establish an alliance with Koriks and his Fallen House of Flame before traveling to the Shard of the Traveler's resting place and acquiring the power of Fusion in order to avenge Zavala's death and save Mal, the daughter of Hendrick Yor and Kaguya Narusaka and a Villain Kid who also wields this power. But, unbeknownst to them and the Vanguard, Kirito and Asuna, along with the Shadowkeepers, the Shadow Army elites, and their eldest son Tatsuyi and his accomplices, including Kamrak, Lilthis, Tyranaks, and the other members of the Shadow Collective, would also wield the powers of Fusion within the heart of the Dreaming City on the Reef, gaining the attention of Mara Sov, Petra Venj, and the Techeuns, who were hellbent on avenging the deaths of their people, and Rudol von Stroheim, who sought to prevent these powers from falling into the wrong hands. As the Guardian found new allies, including Nagihiko, Ventharok, and AJ, they would later stop the Shadowkeepers from corrupting the entire universe with Darkness and save Mal, restoring the multiverse, forming the Solar Coalition, and ushering in a new Golden Age in the process.

Return to the Underworld
"Hehe...This pain is proof of life. If you feel pain, you can feel joy... That's what humanity means..."

- Crow

Some time after the end of the Apocalypse, numerous Lightbearers and people of The Last City would usher in a new Golden Age and reunite with old friends. At the same time, Ikora Rey, Kazuto, Stacia, Crow, and The Guardian would also work on restoring the Traveler to its new glory and fusing its Light with Fusion in order that it can continue protecting the Last City from future threats.

Age of Heroes
"Those who wielded the Light found potential and honor, while those wielding the Darkness found power. But, you are among those who have found a bit of everything, Guardian. This power we call Fusion is part of something greater... something that can help us protect the Traveler and save humanity."

- Ikora Rey

Machina Surge
"Those Machina were already bad enough. And now not only do they got their hands on both Light and Darkness, they’ve already gotten the hang of it too. We’ve lost too many good people to those Vex ripoffs. It’s time we start pushing back."

- Vothriks, the Lost

During the incursion of the Machina during the Battle of Verses, the Prime Unit, Kereznis, was dispatched to study the Paracausal powers of Light and Darkness. A team of Guardians was sent to Europa to halt Kereznis’ research, and would discover that the Prime Unit was experimenting with Fusion and empowering their soldiers with it. Kereznis themself would be neutralized, although not before they had sent what they had uncovered of their studies of Light and Darkness, as well as Fusion, and soon enough the Machina would be deploying powerful soldiers all across the system armed with Fusion, forcing Guardians to continuously suppress their efforts.

Cursebreaker
"Free yourself. Embrace the dark power."

- Subclass Description

''Lore: A Knight of the Hive begins his search, stalking for any wandering Light to consume to satisfy his Worm’s Hunger. He sees two Guardians and raises his blade, charging at his foes. The Guardians see the Knight and fight it off, but its power is beyond what they believe. One Guardian falls to the ground. The Knight sees his incapacitated prey and swings his blade at them, but the other screams and hears something beckoning it... something like a whisper. Time stops...next thing: the Knight has been chained by fires of unknown and the almost-lost Guardian looks to his friend, who was empowered by unknown energies. He then pulls an arrow and pierces the Knight’s helmet. It was over... the Darkness of the Night has been destroyed by another Dark...unknown to anyone in this world...''

All Hunters master the frontier, but none claim territory quite like a Cursebreaker. Fatality Chain binding may seem more merciful than gun or blade… until the feeding frenzy begins.
