Several days after ''The Almighty's'' destruction, the Pyramids had [[Arrival of the Black Fleet|spread throughout the system]]. Alarmingly, many of these Pyramids appeared on worlds that were nowhere near where Rasputin had detected them. It is unknown if these vessels had broken off from the main fleet or if they are new ones who were arrived in the system undetected. The first of these Pyramids made their way to Io. In a similar fashion to the attack on The Almighty, [[Anastasia Bray|Ana Bray]] deployed satellites against the Pyramid in hopes that it would be destroyed. However, the Pyramid remained undamaged and continued its approach on the Jovian moon, also managing to disable the [[Warmind]] and render the [[Warsat]] Network entirely useless.

After the Warmind fell, the [[Pyramid (Io)|Io Pyramid]] touched down near the [[Cradle]] and began deploying its Pyramid Scales in the [[Echo Mesa]] nearby. Eris Morn departed for it as soon as it arrived, resulting in [[Zavala]] tasking the Guardian to investigate the Pyramid and retrieve Eris. As the Guardian approached the vessel, the Darkness possessed their Ghost and brought them closer to the Pyramid. However, the Guardian was pulled into the [[Ascendant Realm]] by [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen]]. After fighting through numerous Taken and Hive, the Guardian finds Eris in the centre of the Cradle, where a [[Tree of Silver Wings]], spawned by the Traveler's Light, was situated inside. Over the week, the Pyramid continued to corrupt Io, deploying Pyramid Scales and infesting the planet with Darkness. The Drifter dispatched a special Bank device to collect Energy of the Darkness, while at the same time having Guardians fight off an arms race with the [[Cabal]] and the Vex, along with Savathûn’s Taken forces.

Almost a month after the arrival of the first Pyramid, three more touched down on Titan, Mars, and [[Mercury]]. The [[Pyramid (Titan)|Titan Pyramid]] was the first to start deploying its Pyramid Scales, scuttling the Hive and Fallen in the [[New Pacific Arcology]] in an arms race to claim Darkness seeping in blooms from the alien vessels. From the depths of the Pyramid back on Io, a large force of Pyramid Scales was sent out to survey Io's surface, to presumably prepare it for terraforming.

With the crippling of Rasputin, the choice was made by Zavala to evacuate the four worlds that had come under threat from the Pyramids. The Young Wolf would aid Zavala, by making final preparations, by completing a list of objectives on each destination following the needs of [[Sloane]], [[Asher Mir|Asher]], [[Vance]], and [[Anastasia Bray|Ana]]. Though the evacuation intended to have them leave, they chose to do the opposite, with Vance and Asher entering the [[Infinite Forest]] and [[Pyramidion]] respectively, and Sloane choosing to hold the line against the Pyramid occupying Titan, and the Hive. When it came to overseeing Ana Bray’s exodus from Mars, the Young Wolf assisted in her attempt to salvage what was left of Rasputin, which resulted in his remains being placed in a specialized [[Engram]]. With what remains of Rasputin’s mind preserved, Ana would make her final preparations before departing Mars. In the following weeks, Guardians were pulled into the Ascendant Realm, reminiscent of the [[Court of Oryx]] on the [[Dreadnaught]], this time encountering [[Nokris]], Savathun's supplicant. Upon defeating him, the Darkness finalized its message, telling Guardians there is an ancient power deep beneath the surface of Europa and that it must be embraced, displaying each race with a shadow of a Pyramid, with one shadow lingering over the Fallen.

A short while after the final message the Pyramids would finally consume Mars, Mercury, Titan and Io in shadow, the final fates of those who stayed behind may never be known. However, despite the Darkness growing even more suffocating, hope was seemingly rekindled as quite unexpectedly the Traveler began to pulsate with energy as it started healing the wounds sustained from liberating itself from Ghaul's cage. The resulting energy would eventually erupt into a cascading flash of light.
