Following the Endless Night and handling a siege within the Reef, combating the forces of [[Xivu Arath]] as the Awoken held the Witch Queen imprisoned, the Last City would soon struggle against new dangers, specifically the Lightbearing Hive of the [[Lucent Brood]], led by Savathûn after she escaped the Reef. The revelation of the Hive, one of humanity's greatest foes wielding the Light rattled the Guardians to the core, especially as they soon learned that the Traveler ''willingly'' gave them the Light rather than stealing it as originally believed. Though the Guardians nonetheless prevented the Witch Queen from sequestering the Traveler away within her Throne World, causing the Traveler to briefly disappear over the Last City, they nonetheless had to prepare for the return of a being that commands the Black Fleet, [[The Witness]], and prevent another Collapse from happening again. | Following the Endless Night and handling a siege within the Reef, combating the forces of [[Xivu Arath]] as the Awoken held the Witch Queen imprisoned, the Last City would soon struggle against new dangers, specifically the Lightbearing Hive of the [[Lucent Brood]], led by Savathûn after she escaped the Reef.

Said efforts to prepare including making a formal alliance with Empress Caiatl and her Cabal. Despite getting off on a rough start with the Cabal Empress, Caiatl nonetheless agreed to aid the Last City against the Lucent Brood, thwarting their efforts to launch an invasion from the Scarlet Keep on Luna. Further, the Guardians aided Caiatl in hunting down insurgents and mutineers within her ranks, ultimately leading Lord Saladin to become a member of the Empress's War Council after a lapse in judgement from Crow. Later on, the Guardians would succeed in denying the Witness a powerful servant after they managed to slay [[Rhulk]], a Disciple of the Witness, after they found him imprisoned within his own Pyramid in Savathûn's Throne World. | Said efforts to prepare including making a formal alliance with Empress Caiatl and her Cabal.

The Last City's Guardians would later on have to contend with the return of the exiled [[Calus]] and his ship The Leviathan, hanging derelict near Luna. The Leviathan was broadcasting a signal to the Lunar Pyramid, causing the Nightmare phantoms to resurge. Working alongside Caiatl in combating Calus and the Nightmares, the Guardians learned of the former emperor's intention to become the Witness's latest Disciple. Despite working to undo the connections Calus was seeking to forge with the Lunar Pyramid, he nonetheless succeeded in giving himself over to The Witness and therefore becoming the herald of the Second Collapse. | The Last City's Guardians would later on have to contend with the return of the exiled [[Emperor Calus]] and his ship The Leviathan, hanging derelict near Luna.

With The Witness drawing near, time was running short for the Guardians as they sought to prepare. The Witness would make preparations of its own in freeing Eramis from her Stasis cocoon, in exchange for finding relics of the Dark Ages. The Shipstealer agreed to The Witness's demands, beginning with rallying the Old Crews, pirates of Fallen legend. The Guardians would learn of Eramis's return after doing the Drifter a favor in retrieving cargo on Europa he had been paid to smuggle into the Last City. Said cargo turned out to be Spider, having sought to escape the Reef after Mara Sov's return and learning of his ill treatment of her brother. Hearing of Eramis's goals, the Guardians work alongside Drifter, Spider (who the Vanguard had granted asylum within the Eliksni Quarter), Mithrax and his daughter Eido in combating the Old Crews. After months of fighting the pirates and gathering the relics, the Guardians learned that said relics were in fact pieces of a dead Disciple of the Witness, [[Nezarec]], which Mithrax had known but out of shame, he kept that knowledge to himself, causing tension to brew between himself and Eido. Regardless, the Guardians thwarted Eramis's efforts as Mithrax used the relics to finally bring Osiris out of his coma, reuniting him with Saint-14. The Guardians would also donate the riches they plundered from the Old Crews to the Eliksni Quarter, increasing the quality of living for the House of Light and strengthening their relations with the Vanguard. | With The Witness drawing near, time was running short for the Guardians as they sought to prepare.

With Clovis removed from the equation, Rasputin continued to guide the Guardians in gathering submind data for his restoration but a revelation from Mara Sov would leave him questioning on his next move. The Awoken Queen began to suspect that Xivu Arath's true goal was to allow the Guardians to restore Rasputin and use his arsenal to smite the Wrathborn, in which the following destruction would not only fuel her worm but also that of a ritual. A ritual to open a portal large enough to summon her endless armies to overwhelm Earth. Thus, the Vanguard Coalition's leaders agree that while they can't allow Eramis to hack into the Network, they can't leave the Warmind weakened either, as Ana pleaded her case that Rasputin was needed in combating the Witness. As a result, they agreed to repair Rasputin as originally planned but he be refrained from using his arsenal against Xivu Arath's forces. | With Clovis removed from the equation, Rasputin continued to guide the Guardians in gathering submind data for his restoration but a revelation from Mara Sov would leave him questioning on his next move.

Unfortunately, Eramis would succeed in gaining access to the Warsat Network, seeking to activate Rasputin's ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE protocol where all the Warsats will target the Traveler. With no time and no other option, Rasputin resolves to sacrifice himself with his AURORA SACRIFICE protocol to destroy the entire Warsat Network, denying Eramis her vengeance. As the Guardians battled aboard the [[Seraph Station]] to upload Rasputin, the heard reports of activity within the Last City: the Traveler was beginning to leave. Yet as it entered Earth's outer orbit, it ceased to move just as the Warsat Network self-destructed. Confused and angered, Eramis wondered why the Traveler didn't flee like it had with the Eliksni and so many other civilizations.

Despite the initial fear that the Traveler was leaving | Despite the initial fear that the Traveler was leaving [[The Coalition|Humanity and their allies]] to fend for themselves, Zavala and Ikora believe that with Humanity standing alongside the Awoken, the House of Light and the Cabal loyal to Empress Caiatl, they will face and repel the forces of The Witness and its Disciples. They would fight to defend Earth from the forces of the Witness, but the defense fails as the pilots go down and the [[Shadow Legion]] begin operations to capture prisoners on Earth. They would also discover the existence of [[Neomuna|a Neptunian city]] after the Witness discovers the location of [[The Veil]] hidden away there and instructs Emperor Calus to find the Veil. Osiris and the Guardian follow the Shadow Legion fleet traveling to Neptune. In time, the Coalition would gain a valuable ally in the [[Cloud Strider]] [[Nimbus]], but also learn that the Witness used the energies of the Veil to open the portal on the Traveler. Despite the setback, Guardians would raid the Witness's [[Essence|flagship]] terraformed by the Traveler and defeat Nezarec reborn through both Light and Dark. | ||
The Guardians return to Earth to infiltrate the Pyramid outpost set up by the Shadow Legion and bypass its warding with the assistance of an [[Ascendant Scepter]]. [[Devrim Kay]], Mara Sov, and Mithrax meet with them at the [[Farm]] and discover that [[Amanda Holliday]] has sent a distress signal in the EDZ. The Guardian follows her distress signal and defeats its [[Warden Vincu'us, Shadow Legion|warden]]. The Guardian and Crow rescue her from the outpost and report to Mara Sov, who coronate them as her [[Queensguard]]. Amanda then inform them of another outpost, this time in the Cosmodrome. They go to work to free more prisoners and defeat the [[Zatocc, Devoted to the Witness|warden]] in charge there despite its Psionic powers. They would then infiltrate an orbital prison ship and navigate the Ascendant Plane to bypass its defenses. They defeat the [[Bracus Kravaum, Shadow Legion|warden]] overseeing the orbital prison. Amanda and Mithrax discover a distress signal leading in the Tunnels and decide to pursue it. The Guardian arrives to assist them, meeting heavy resistance from the Shadow Legion. After dealing with a [[Tormentor]] named [[Vereziia, Reverent of the Witness]] and Taken reinforcements, the Guardian bypasses the prison facility's security system. Mithrax rescues the prisoners trapped there, but Amanda is killed in the facility's explosion. Zavala holds a vigil for Amanda in the Farm, with the Guardian, Crow, and Mara as its participants. Mara reminds the Guardian of the feeling of grief and to complete Amanda's mission to free more prisoners. Crow eventually forms a plan to break the Shadow Legion's grip on Earth. The Guardian would infiltrate the Shadow Legion flagship hanging in Earth while he, Devrim, and Mithrax would assist them in eliminating the forces occupying it. Crow detonates the charges set up in the hangar after the Guardian dispels the Pyramid beacons using balefires. The Guardian eventually scuttles the flagship using the powers sent by Mara to destroy the cooling fans and then the engines. They see the flagship blow up as the forces of the Coalition celebrate this victory. Crow explains that the Awoken's addition to the Coalition is justified alongside Caiatl's Cabal, the House of Light, and the people of Neomuna. They return to the Tower to receive a parting gift from the late Amanda Holliday and then gain the keys to [[Brazen Spark|her personal ship]]. | |||
