→Fall of the Last City

Knowing the battle for the City was lost, Zavala began organizing a retreat from humanity's last stronghold and contacted Amanda for an extraction. The pilot angrily refused, noting she was not his chauffeur and that thousands of people like her were trapped in the City. Zavala understood her anger, but noted that with the Light gone, they were all the same now and that their chances to regroup decreased every moment they remained. He countered her argument that he could fly his own ship out of the City by noting she was the best pilot in the system and the only one who could keep their ships going after they retreated. She protested again that they could not just abandon the trapped civilians. Although he felt guilty for doing so, Zavala told her that he believed that humanity's only chance for survival was to flee now with who they could, which convinced Amanda to pick him up.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/7/31)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Solstice of Heroes]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Rekindled Solstice Armor (Titan)#Solstice Gauntlets (Rekindled)|Solstice Gauntlets (Rekindled)]]''</ref> | Knowing the battle for the City was lost, Zavala began organizing a retreat from humanity's last stronghold and contacted Amanda for an extraction.

The retreat from the Last City succeeded, but at a heavy cost. Seventy-three ships were destroyed attempting to break through the Red Legion's blockade, and the rest only made it through due to the Cabal's focus on Earth. Horrified by the loss of the City and the casualties suffered during the retreat, Zavala struggled to think of his next move, knowing only that he had to stay ahead of whatever [[Dominus Ghaul]] was planning. As he bemoaned his lack of information, Deputy Commander [[Sloane]] arrived, and the presence of his trusted second-in-command allowed Zavala to relax for just one moment.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/7/31)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Solstice of Heroes]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Rekindled Solstice Armor (Titan)#Solstice Plate (Rekindled)|Solstice Plate (Rekindled)]]''</ref> | |||
