Eventually, Ikora became a student of the Warlock [[Vanguard]] [[Osiris]], arguably his greatest one. However, after her mentor's arrogance and obsession with the Vex grew out of control, she was forced to secretly take over many of his duties as Vanguard. Eventually, his focus on the Vex caused the Last City's other leaders to convene a meeting of the [[Consensus]] without Osiris present. The [[Speaker]] asked Ikora to take over officially as Warlock Vanguard, which she accepted. The Speaker then announced that he was exiling Osiris for his failure to serve the Last City and putting Guardians lives at risk chasing after Vex secrets. With no objections, Osiris was officially exiled and his post as Vanguard Commander was taken over by [[Zavala]].<ref>'''Bungie (2017/5/12)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]] | ====Disciple of Osiris==== | ||

Ikora then went to confront her old mentor in the Underwatch of the Tower and inform him of the Consensus' decision. She demanded that they needed to talk, but Osiris did not turn around and simply commented that he was surprised that she came alone and asked if she had learned confidence. Angered by his arrogance, Ikora claimed that she had, but not from him. Osiris claimed he knew why she was there, proclaiming that their confrontation and his banishment had been prophesied. Ikora noted that he had plenty of warning then, causing Osiris' Ghost, [[Sagira]], to lash out at Ikora, proclaiming that she and the rest of the Last City stood no chance against the Darkness without Osiris. He claimed that Ikora knew that was true but would not admit it, but Ikora denied this and stated that winning under his terms was no victory. She then bid her former mentor farwell and turned to leave,<ref>'''Bungie (2017/5/12)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]] | Ikora then went to confront her old mentor in the Underwatch of the Tower and inform him of the Consensus' decision.

Ikora angrily retorted that he had only taught her all he knew, causing Sagira to claim she would still be wasting time in the Crucible with Shaxx without Osiris. Ikora warned her not to insult the Crucible, as it had once been her home in the Last City. Sagira claimed that Ikora had wasted her talent there and that she owed Osiris loyalty on his quest against the Vex for making her more than a champion, causing Ikora to end the conversation and walk away.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/5/12)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]], Activision Blizzard - [[Sagira's Shell]]''</ref> | ||
As Osiris prepared to leave the Last City for [[Mercury]], Ikora met her former mentor one last time in the Tower's hanger as he readied the ''[[Sails of Osiris]]'' for launch. She suggested that he allow Shipmaster [[Cesar Hiponia]] to inspect the ship before Osiris left, causing the older Warlock to smile and note that she was always thinking ahead, which made her a fine leader. Ikora told him that was why she had to stay and lead as he once did, but he argued that the [[Infinite Forest]] on Mercury could be the key to simulating a path to their victory and understanding the Darkness. Ikora interrupted him, noting that while she wished him well in his quest, she feared his obsession would be his undoing, and that she was choosing to stay and fight for what was real.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/5/12)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]] | As Osiris prepared to leave the Last City for [[Mercury]], Ikora met her former mentor one last time in the Tower's hanger as he readied the ''[[Sails of Osiris]]'' for launch.

Ikora and the Vanguard eventually determined that the [[Ahamkara]] on [[Venus]] had grown to powerful from the wishes they granted to Guardians, as they had gained the strength to create paracausal rifts in space and time on the planet. They initiated the [[Great Ahamkara Hunt]] to drive the Wish-Dragons into extinction and end their threat to humanity. At one point during the Hunt, Ikora teamed with the Hunter [[Eris Morn]] to fight an entire army of Ahamkara. After an hour-long battle they left a mile long path of corpses behind them. Ikora utilized the Light to float above her fallen foes to think clearer due to the whispers of the Ahamkara bones. Eris questioned what they had offered her, and Ikora told the Hunter that she suspected it was much the same as what had been offered to her. She grew concerned when Eris commented that everything the Ahamkara said was true and that they showed her life before she was a Guardian. Ikora cautioned Eris that such thoughts led to morbid places and asked her to focus on gathering Light to destroy the bones. The two summoned a storm of [[Arc]] energy to finish their foes, which caused the whispers to grow louder until they could hear them even over the storm.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Activision Blizzard - [[Armor_of_the_Great_Hunt_(Hunter)#Strides_of_the_Great_Hunt|Strides of the Great Hunt]]''</ref> | |||
After the murder of Hunter Vanguard [[Andal Brask]] at the hands of the notorious and Fallen mercenary [[Taniks, the Scarred]], Ikora attended a parade thrown in celebration of [[Cayde-6]] killing Taniks in retribution. She stood by Zavala as Cayde was carried away by the crowd, and the Vanguard Commander commented that Taniks had been believed dead before. Ikora recommended that Zavala let the new Hunter Vanguard bask in his victory and that he had earned it.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Dark_Future#Chapter_9:_The_Return|The Dark Future - Chapter 9: The Return]]</ref> | |||
