When the [[Fallen]] Houses united and laid siege to the Last City, Shaxx fought in the [[Battle of Twilight Gap|Battle]] of the [[Twilight Gap]] to break the Fallen assault. He was given command of a fireteam that consisted of [[Anastasia Bray]], [[Liu Feng]], [[Nkechi-32]], [[Adbi]], and [[Truce]]. As the battle turned against the [[Vanguard]] and they were forced off of the Wall, Shaxx was breaking the neck of a [[Vandal]] when he heard Saladin over the comms order a full retreat to the [[Ridgeback District]] and declared the Last City lost. Shaxx was stunned by the order and glanced around the battlefield, noting the hundreds of dead Fallen and Guardians alike scattered around Twilight Gap. As he reloaded, he looked back upon the City and saw that it was not under direct assault yet, and as Saladin yelled at him to comply with the retreat order Shaxx noticed a gap within the Fallen ranks that would allow them to reach the Wall. Disregarding Saladin, Shaxx ordered Nkechi to take Adbi and Truce while Liu Feng came with him and Ana provided both teams covering fire. His team followed his orders, and as they leapt upon the Wall Shaxx cut off his radio feed with Saladin.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Mountaintop]]''</ref> The six of them held the Wall long enough for Saladin and Zavala to regroup the rest of the Guardians and launch a counterattack, which allowed the Vanguard to emerge victorious and save the Last City.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Shard of the Traveler (Sunbreaker)]]''</ref> | When the [[Fallen]] Houses united and laid siege to the Last City, Shaxx fought in the [[Battle of Twilight Gap|Battle]] of the [[Twilight Gap]] to break the Fallen assault.

The loss of so many Guardians at Twilight Gap caused Shaxx to fear that the Last City could not withstand another full-scale assault. He decided that he would mentor young Guardians in the [[Crucible]] in order to ensure the next generation of Guardians would be forged into the best warriors possible and would only return to the war outside of the City once his task was accomplished.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Tower_Allies#Crucible_Handler|Crucible Handler]]''</ref> Shaxx ignoring the commands of Saladin during the battle resulted in a falling out between the two Titans,<ref name="IBR"/> while Zavala was left with issues against both of them due to the battle.
