====Battle of Twilight Gap====

While Ana defended the City with the same valor as her comrades, she never felt that the City was her home. On top that, Ana had an unyielding desire to learn more about Clovis Bray, Rasputin, and by extension, her past life. Because her search for knowledge was deemed personal, she and Commander [[Zavala]] would often argue about her quest, since Guardians learning about their past is a taboo. One day while in the plaza of the [[Tower]], Ana was confronted by Zavala about her research, but their argument was interrupted by Andal, who informed them that the Fallen were launching an [[Battle of the Twilight Gap|assault]] on the Last City from [[Twilight Gap]].<ref>'''Bungie (2018/6/22)''', ''[[Destiny: Warmind (comic)]]'', ''[https://comics.bungie.net/en/5/warmind-3 Chapter 3]'', ''Page 1''</ref> Ana was placed in a Fireteam under the command of Lord [[Shaxx]] for the battle alongside [[Liu Feng]], [[Nkechi-32]], [[Idil Abdi]], and [[Truce]]. As the Fallen threatened to overwhelm the City's walls, all Guardians were ordered to fall back by Lord [[Saladin Forge]], who declared the City lost. However, Shaxx refused to accept this and rallied Ana and the rest of the fireteam to ignore the order and hold the wall, with Ana providing covering fire for her fellow Guardians. They held the Wall long enough for the rest of the Vanguard to regroup and launch a counterattack which drove the Fallen back into Twilight Gap.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory (expansion)|Black Armory]], Activision Blizzard, [[The Mountaintop]]''</ref>

===Halting the ''Almighty''===

{{Quote|What a time to be alive. I don't think anyone has ever thrown a spaceship at us before, so that's new.|Ana}}

Ana was called upon by Zavala to investigate the Red Legion's activity on the Cabal superweapon known as ''[[The Almighty]]'' when it suddenly moved out of orbit of [[Mercury]]. Infilitrating the station, Ana made her way to the engine room while Zavala fought to the bridge. She discovered three [[Psion]]s within the control room, and told Zavala to wait a moment as he tried to contact her. Drawing her knives, Ana engaged the Psions, swiftly breaking ones neck with a kick. Dodging their fire, she gutted the second Psion and flipped away from the third, finishing it off by throwing one of her knives into its neck as it raised its weapon. Ana retrieved her knife and mocked her dead foes, but then noticed the Cabal had destroyed the central manifold, crippling the ''Almighty's'' maneuvering thrusters. A explosion then rocked the station, and Ana quickly identified it as coming from the propulsion deck and that the Cabal had now destroyed the primary engine. She asked if Zavala had secured the bridge yet, and he told her to wait just a moment. Once he had taken it, Zavala informed Ana that the Cabal had also destroyed the ''Almighty's'' navigation system, leaving the ship hurtling through space with no way to change course. Ana was confused about why the Cabal had done all this and wondered what the Cabal's motive was, but Zavala then discovered that the Red Legion had set the station on a collision course for the Last City.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/3/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Worthy]] - Intro cinematic''</ref>

===The Arrival===

====Rasputin's Defeat====

{{Quote|I froze. We still don't even know what—if we saved anything."<br>"It's not so easy to act in the face of defeat. The prospect of a future is something we have to keep in mind."<br>"Nothing we do is supposed to be easy. Isn't that the point? This was a stress test, and I buckled.|Ana and Zavala discuss the defeat of Rasputin at the hands of the Pyramids}}

As the [[Pyramids]] moved closer to Io, Ana activated the warsats near the moon to destroy the Pyramid. At first its hologram disappeared from Rasputin's display, but it suddenly returned and sent out a shockwave that disabled Rasputin, much to Ana's distraught and fear.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]] - [[Missions]]: [[A Shadow Overhead]]''</ref> As she stood in horror within the darkened room, Ana was assailed by doubt and terror at how easily the Pyramids had defeated Rasputin and could not even answer Zavala as he worriedly asked what had happened over the comms. She then saw Jinju quickly tying tethers of Light between Rasputin's consoles and was stunned as her Ghost declared that she had saved most of Rasputin, but was straining to hold onto him and requested the Pillory Engram. Ana protested that it was not ready and that it could drive Rasputin insane, but Jinju's tethers began snapping and she noted it was either this or nothing. Hurrying, Ana opened the secret compartment where she kept the engram and held it in front of Jinju, who released the data she had saved into it. Ana questioned if it had worked, and Jinju stated she had saved as much as she could as Warsats began impacting the Martian surface outside the facility, unable to remain in orbit without the guiding hand of the Warmind.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Duress_and_Egress#Ana:_Frayed|Duress and Egress - Ana: Frayed]]''</ref>  

After some time and much thinking, Ana realizes that her sister truly cares for her if she went through all the trouble to keep her safe. Returning to Europa to find her sister, Ana locates her within the main lab of [[Creation]]. The two Bray sisters reconcile and vow that no matter what truths they face, they will face it together. After their reconciliation, the Guardian activates the Clovis AI found in the lab, a machine that housed the consciousness of Clovis I, her grandfather. Though Ana found speaking to her grandfather after so many centuries to be incredible, her mood turned sour when she learned that her grandfather researched potent Darkness energy but only ever intended it for the Bray name and legacy, unconcerned for its use for the good of humanity. He further mocked her sister as she once helped him in Project Exo and stood beside him as he continued his research. Their "family reunion" ends bitterly as Clovis states that no matter what happens, she will always be a Bray. Elsie comments that Clovis had always been problematic but he always had some humanity before the Darkness stripped what was left of it. Ana scoffs at her grandfather, stating that he cannot control them anymore and they should use the power of Stasis and his research exactly how he does not want it: for the good of humanity. Having what they need from Clovis, Ana and her sister departed from the lab.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Born_in_Darkness#Born_in_Darkness_Part_4|Born in Darkness: Part 4]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/key-to-the-truth-19 Key to the Truth 19]</ref>
