Ultimately, after a period of weeks, the Endless Night did indeed lift, allowing daylight to cover the Last City once more. However, the Vex would gain an opportunity to launch a direct attack at the Last City when Future War Cult leader, Lakshmi-2, opened a Vex rift within the Eliksni Quarters. Lakshmi, along with her fellow Faction leaders, had grown increasingly wary and paranoid towards the Eliskni of the House of Light, believing they were no different than the Fallen the Last City had battled for centuries. The Factions leaders, Lakshmi in particular, were frustrated by the Guardians' refusal to see their point of view and further driven by the device that her faction uses to see into the future, was convinced that the House of Light would lead the Last City to a tragedy. On her last broadcast, Lakshmi claimed she was aided by Osiris when the rift was opened, leading to the Vex to pour into the Last City for the first time. However, instead of being under her command, the Vex attacked humans and Eliksni indiscriminately, which ultimately led to Lakshmi's death. The Guardians scrambled to protect the Last City and the Eliksni Quarter, managing to close the rift by destroying the Vex Subjective Mind controlling them. Afterward, the combined strength of Mithrax, Saint-14, Ikora Rey, Zavala, and Amanda Holiday managed to hold the line and destroy the remaining Vex, saving the House of Light and the Last City. | Ultimately, after a period of weeks, the Endless Night did indeed lift, allowing daylight to cover the Last City once more.

====Seizing the Spire==== | |||
Following the Endless Night and the Vex's failed assault on the Last City, the Vex would remain relatively quiet as the Guardians handled rising threats such the Witch Queen and [[Lucent Brood]] gaining the Light, Calus's return and becoming a Disciple of the Witness and Eramis's return. However, as the Guardian's toppled these threats and made full-time alliances with the Reefborn Awoken, Caiatl's Cabal Empire and Mithrax's House of Light, they still needed to prepare for the Witness's return and prevent another Collapse. To do so, Ana Bray believed they need to find a way to repair the Warmind Rasputin, who has remained incapacitated since it's encounter with the Black Fleet. However, do to so, forced Ana Bray to work with her grandfather, Clovis Bray I, housed in an AI construct within the Creatin Labs of Europa. The Bray patriarch agreed to aid in restoring Rasputin albeit for different reasons. | |||
As the Guardians worked in gathering the necessary data from the Subminds needed to regain control over the Warsat Network and restore Rasputin, the Guardians were asked by Osiris and Ikora to investigate a Seraph complex that powered up for the first time since the Collapse and discover Vex of the Sol Divisive attempting to seize control over it. If the Vex succeed then they will be able to wrest control over the subminds' data from the Vanguard, leading to catastrophic results. As they arrive however, the Guardian team finds the facility being destabilized by Arc surges as the Vex breach into the command matrix, making their window of opportunity a short one. As the Guardian's ascended the Seraph Spire, the collect as much Golden Age data as they can, discovering that the Witness is also interested in what's in the files. Nonetheless, the Guardians confront the Vex Mind linking into the tower and attempting to imprison the subminds, [[Akelous, the Siren's Current]]. Though the Guardian destroys the Vex Mind, breaking their control over the Spire's security systems, Osiris discovers, to his horror, that the Arc surges were intentional, as it was sending the reactor into meltdown. Forced to race towards the bottom of the tower to reactor, the Guardians clash with another Vex Mind, [[Persys, Primordial Ruin]], who has been directing power to the reactor. Despite Persys's power and the reactor going prompt critical, the Guardians destroy the Vex Mind, stopping the meltdown and allowing the complex to stabilize. | |||
