A crisis eventually erupted on [[Venus]] following the usage of [[Ahamkara]] by Guardians to grant numerous wishes, which led to the paracasual beings gaining enough strength to begin reshaping reality on the planet. Zavala and the rest of the City's leadership decided that the creatures needed to be wiped out and began the [[Great Ahamkara Hunt]]. A year into the Hunt, Zavala fought alongside Shaxx and the Hunter [[Eris Morn]] against one of the creatures and mortally wounded it. He and Eris watched from a distance and Shaxx sat next to the Ahamkara and placed a hand on its snout. Eris wondered if he was gloating, but Zavala noted his friend was not the type and agreed with her second guess that Shaxx was in fact mourning its death. The two Guardians had to quickly shield their eyes as the creature began glowing and then exploded, and they were disturbed to find Shaxx now standing in a crater covered in green flames. Zavala and Eris both began to speak, but Shaxx quieted them as whispers began to build around them, a phenomenon they had all become used to fighting the Ahamkara.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Activision Blizzard - [[Armor_of_the_Great_Hunt_(Hunter)#Grips_of_the_Great_Hunt|Grips of the Great Hunt]]''</ref> | |||
During a meeting of the Consensus, it was agreed that the [[Concordat]] and its leader [[Lysander]] would be exiled following their unsuccessful bid to overthrow the Speaker. Zavala agreed to handle the reassignment of the Guardians pledged to the faction, although he believed it would be difficult due to how loyal Lysander's followers were. The meeting then turned to a discussion of who should replace the Concordat on the Consensus, and Zavala supported the [[Future War Cult]]'s inclusion, considering their focus on combat more useful to the Last City than dangerous.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] | After the Vanguard learned that the [[Hive]] were not a myth and remained on Earth and the [[Moon]], Zavala commanded the Last City's forces during the [[Battle of Burning Lake]]. The Vanguard barely won a victory there, but the Consensus began planning an invasion of the Moon to drive their ancient enemy away. As the Consensus met, Shaxx interrupted them and declared their intentions folly and that the Hive had weapons like none they had ever seen that required further study, like their Light-draining swords. As his old friend pleaded with Zavala to reconsider the invasion, he gently told Shaxx that this would be a matter for the Consensus to decide, not him.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], Activision Blizzard - [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Inventory/Heavy_Weapons#Raze-Lighter|Raze-Lighter]]''</ref> Zavala and the Consensus failing to heed Shaxx's warnings resulted in [[The Great Disaster]], as thousands of Guardians perished attempting to retake the Moon for humanity. Zavala supported the Speaker's creation of a Lunar Interdiction that forbade anyone from traveling to the Moon in the hopes of restricting the Hive's movement.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], Activision Blizzard - [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Guardian/Classes#Ghost_Fragment:_Warlock_2|Ghost Fragment: Warlock 2]]''</ref> | ||

In return, Zavala erased nearly every mention of the Sunbreakers from the City's records.<ref name="Bound by Fire">'''Bungie (2015/10/25)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], Activision Blizzard - [[Missions|Mission]]: [[Bound by Fire]]''</ref> | |||
Decades after the Battle of the Twilight Gap, Zavala learned that an individual was accessing the Bray Archive at the [[Fu'an Institute Library]]. He met with [[Owl Sector]] agent [[Camrin Dumuzi]] to inquire about the identity of the researcher, hoping that his old friend Ana Bray was still alive. Carmin protested that she was only supposed to be reporting to [[Quist]], but Zavala informed her that he had been granted oversight over all Bray Archive issues. The Owl Sector agent informed him that the individual was named Staysa Pak and was just a civilian. Zavala sighed and sadly lamented that Ana must really be dead, causing Carmin to question who he was referring to. He deflected the question and told her that she had done a good job and keep him apprised if anything changed, unaware that Staysa Pak was an alias for Ana.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/6/22)''', ''[[Destiny: Warmind (comic)]]'', ''Chapter 3'', ''Page 7''</ref> | Decades after the Battle of the Twilight Gap, Zavala learned that an individual was accessing the Bray Archive at the [[Fu'an Institute Library]].
