Several months after the events on Mars, Zavala and Ikora were left a letter by Cayde admonishing them for not catching him sneaking out of the Tower once again. He informed them that he was heading to the Reef to assist [[Petra Venj]] out with a few issues for a couple days and would ask the Young Wolf for backup if he needed it. The letter also asked if Zavala had figured out his tell when playing cards yet and recommended he play a few hands with [[Banshee-44]], who might take pity and tell him what it was if he lost enough.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/8/28),''' ''[[Weblore:Forsaken|Weblore: Forsaken]] - [https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/47166 Letter from Cayde]''</ref> However, issues within the Reef quickly escalated as massive breakout within the [[Prison of Elders]] led to the release of not only countless deadly prisoners but also the freedom of the Fallen [[Scorn]], undead and mutant Fallen. Cayde-6, the Young Wolf, and Petra arrived at the prison to contain the chaos but their mission ended in tragedy as Cayde found himself surrounded by the Scorn's Barons and his Ghost [[Sundance]] was killed. The mad Prince [[Uldren Sov]], who had become the leader of the Scorn, executed the Hunter Vanguard with the [[Ace of Spades]] before the Young Wolf or Petra could arrive to save Cayde.<ref name="LC">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Activision Blizzard - [[Missions|Mission]]: [[Last Call]]''</ref> | |||
Upon the return of Cayde's body to the Tower, Zavala mourned the loss of his comrade and friend with Ikora and the Young Wolf. The Warlock Vanguard, enraged at Cayde's murder, declared that the every Guardian would arm themselves and storm the Reef to kill Uldren. However, Zavala refuses, citing the recent conflicts that have already reduced their strength and that they must focus on the awakened Traveler and the Last City instead of pursuing vengeance. Thus, Zavala was willing to let Uldren and his Scorn have the Reef. Ikora accused him of being a coward, a accusation Zavala accepted if it meant he did not have to bury anymore friends. However, the Young Wolf interjected and declared that he would not have to, as they would deal with Uldren themselves.<ref name="LC"/> | |||
Zavala spoke to the the Young Wolf before they departed the Tower, which surprised the Commander, as he had assumed they would have already left on their unsanctioned mission. He admitted that he knew better than trying to convince them not to go, as that would only insult them both, but he reminded them that the escapees from the Prison of Elders were running rampart across the system and the Vanguard was stretched too thin to stop them all. As such, the Young Wolf would have no support from the Vanguard if they did choose to wage a war in the Reef seeking vengeance.<ref name="LC"/> | |||
In the [[Tangled Shore]], the Young Wolf forged an uneasy alliance with the Fallen mob boss, [[The Spider]], to aid them in hunting down Uldren and his Scorn Barons. One-by-one, the Guardian succeeded in striking down the Scorn Barons and ruining their unscrupulous plans. At the mysterious Awoken [[The Watchtower|Watchtower]], the Young Wolf and Petra finally managed to confront Uldren, who was weakened and at their mercy after being mauled by the [[Voice of Riven]]. The two completed their mission to avenge Cayde-6 and recovered the Ace of Spades from the traitor Prince's corpse. Upon the Young Wolf's return to the Tower, Zavala sternly stated that while he did not shed a tear for Uldren's death and would have ended him personally in another lifetime, he believed that the Guardian risked much in storming the Reef on their own accord. Zavala was certain that Uldren's death would have consequences in the future and hoped that the Young Wolf was prepared to deal with them.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Activision Blizzard - [[Missions|Mission]]: [[Nothing Left to Say]] post-mission dialogue''</ref> | |||

After it was discovered that Queen [[Mara Sov]] still lived and that the Taken were invading the [[Dreaming City]], Zavala listened to [[Paladin]] [[Kamala Rior]] as she addressed Guardians gathered in the Tower's plaza. The Awoken commander appealed for them to come aid the Reef's military in driving the Taken out of their sacred city in the name of a shared future, reminding them all that the Awoken had fought the House of Wolves and Oryx as humanity's shield, and in exchange she offered treasure and knowledge from the Reef for the Last City. Zavala, despite his earlier reservations about getting involved in the struggle, called out that the Vanguard would stand alongside the Awoken of the Reef. Seeing the look of shock upon Rior's face, Zavala offered her an apologetic smile for not coming to their aid before.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Abide the Return]]''</ref> | After it was discovered that Queen [[Mara Sov]] still lived and that the Taken were invading the [[Dreaming City]], Zavala listened to [[Paladin]] [[Kamala Rior]] as she addressed Guardians gathered in the Tower's plaza.
