As the Vanguard debated on how to fight back against Oryx, [[Eris Morn]] warned [[Commander Zavala]] that the Taken were unlike any foe they had faced before, and that Oryx's army would only grow unless he's stopped. [[Cayde-6]], meanwhile developed a secret plan to board the Dreadnaught, using stealth technology he stole from [[Rasputin]]. Cayde had the Guardians travel to the Cosmodrome to find a stash he hid before the Fallen overran the complex. The Guardian arrived in [[Old Russia]] as the [[House of Devils]] were in a losing battle with the Taken. Fighting past Fallen and Taken, the Guardian ascended an old Colony ship occupied by the Devils, where Cayde's stash was located. At the top of the [[Devil's Spire]], the Guardians were attacked by an [[Echo of Oryx]] but were able to repel it and find Cayde's stealth technology.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-9-15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Cayde's Stash]]''</ref> After helping the Guardian outfit Eris' ship, the Guardian managed to slip onto the Dreadnaught, disable its primary weapon and establish a beachhead.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-9-15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Dreadnaught]]''</ref> | As the Vanguard debated on how to fight back against Oryx, [[Eris Morn]] warned [[Commander Zavala]] that the Taken were unlike any foe they had faced before, and that Oryx's army would only grow unless he's stopped.

As the Guardians worked to establish a beachhead they also encountered the Skyburners Cabal Legion main battleship rammed into the Dreadnaught. Knowing that the Cabal have been on the Hive warship longer, they would have real field intelligence on finding a way to reach Oryx. The Guardian infiltrated the crashed Cabal ship and learned that Oryx could only be reached through a portal called a rupture and the Cabal already had to team sent to the coordinates, led by Primus Ta'aun. The Guardian was able to catch up to the Primus just as they reached the portal entrance and were on the verge on being overrun. Primus Ta'aun was then assaulted by the Taken and was soon Taken himself. As the Guardians neared the portal, an Echo of Oryx and a wave of Hive and Taken attacked but the Guardian survived but when they tried to pass through the rupture they were repulsed.

Returning to the Dreadnaught, they successfully passed through the rupture and at reaching the second portal rupture, Oryx unleashed his two new Taken Champions, Ta'aun and [[Baxx]].
