====Earth's Defiance====
As Calus continued the assault on Neomuna, the Vanguard nonetheless had to contend with a Shadow Legion invasion force on Earth, as many Pyramid cities had been sighted. Reaching out to their allies, [[Mara Sov]] answered the call and decides to lend some of her powers to the Guardians, personally knighting them as her Queensguard, giving them the means to combat the Shadow Legion and rescue prisoners alongside [[Mithrax]] and [[Amanda Holliday]].
As Calus continued the assault on Neomuna, the Vanguard nonetheless had to contend with a Shadow Legion invasion force on Earth, as many Pyramid cities had been sighted. Reaching out to their allies, [[Mara Sov]] answered the call and decides to lend some of her powers to the Guardians, personally knighting them as her Queensguard, giving them the means to combat the Shadow Legion and rescue prisoners alongside [[Mithrax]] and [[Devrim Kay]]. Being granted the [[Ascendant Scepter]] from Mara Sov, the Guardian meets with the Awoken Queen at the EDZ, restarting operations at the Farm. They learn that following the battle between the Traveler and the Black Fleet, a number of pilots were shot down and landed within the EDZ, being taken prisoner by the Shadow Legion and brought to a Pyramid outpost that is virtually impenetrable, though for what purpose, they do not know. In addition, the Guardian learned that [[Amanda Holliday]] is among those who were shot down during the battle but allowed herself to be taken prisoner so as to provide the Guardians the means to find the prisoners and mount a rescue. Crow, having also learned of this, joins in the endeavors.
 
With the Ascendant Scepter, Mara Sov explains that with her power combined with the Light, she can provide a path into the Pyramid outpost from between the very fabric of reality, specifically through the Ascendant Plane. The Awoken Queen's plan works in allowing them to gain entrance into the Pyramid outpost, encountering scores of Taken along with the Shadow Legion. With the use of a cleansing force called [[Balefire]], the Guardians were able to destroy the powerful Taken Chimera, [[Exomida, Taken of the Witness]], allowing them to enter the main stronghold. There they find Amanda and the prisoners being guarded by [[Warden Vincu'us, Shadow Legion]]. Despite the warden's might, the Guardian's use of Balefire allows them to triumph and free Amanda and the prisoners.
 
In addition to rescuing prisoners of the Shadow Legion, the Guardian works with Devrim Kay in handling another Taken infestation within the EDZ before it negatively affects the Farm. Their mission takes them throughout the reservoir of the EDZ before finding the source, [[Gor'ath Gath]], and slaying him, clearing the Taken for now. Further, the Guardians learn that a cabal is supplying arms to the Shadow Legion, bearing the same name as Bracus Zahn. Though unknown and unlikely that this cabal is the same Zahn from the Red War, his dealings with the Shadow Legion threatened operations within the EDZ and had recently taken prisoners of Empress Caiatl's forces. The Guardians breach the new Zhan's base and after freeing Caiatl's forces, joining forces, they managed to corner him at the airfield and take him out, depriving the Shadow Legion of armaments.
