Cabal: Difference between revisions

Sometime after the Guardians' conflicts with the Hive and [[Nightmare]]s on [[Luna]] and defeating the [[Vex Offensive]]s, [[Osiris]] calls upon the Young Wolf to Mercury. The legendary [[Warlock]] claims that after [[The Undying Mind]]'s final destruction, the timeways over Mercury have been undone and worse, a council of Cabal [[Psion Flayers]] aim to take advantage of the Vex's disorganization to assume control over time itself and undo their defeat during the Red War. Their meddling with Osiris's time-altering [[Sundial]] resulted in [[Mercury]] fracturing into three different eras, each with their own timelines dictated by the Psion Flayers. The Guardians team up with Osiris to ensure the safety of time, preserve the present and to save a legend, [[Saint-14]].  

 

After a few more weeks of combating the Red Legion near the Sundial, the Flayer sisters would band together and use their power to fuse into [[Inotam, Oblivion's Triune]], to finish off the Guardians. Inotam violently clashed with the Guardians for control of the Sundial but despite her vast powers and reinforcements, the Guardians are successful in slaying Inotam, ending the Psion Flayer's schemes to subvert time. Regardless of this victory, Osiris feels that other Red Legion radicals exist and the Guardians must be ready for when they will appear. Osiris would in fact be right, for unknown to the Guardians, a fourth Psion Flayer remains; [[Amtec]], the youngest of the sisters. Having been told of the possibility of her sisters's demise, Amtec now schemes to exact vengeance upon the Guardians in the name of her sisters.

After their crippling defeat at the Sundial, a contingent of the Red Legion, headed by the last remaining Psion Flayer, [[Amtec]], decide to direct the Almighty into an ongoing collision into the Last City itself; disabling its propulsion engines and navigation systems despite the efforts of [[Zavala]] and [[Ana Bray]]. With little to no choice, the Vanguard decide to cooperate with the Warmind Rasputin, with Guardians arming his arsenal of Warsat satellites, in order to save their home from destruction. This begins [[The Almighty Crisis]]. A minor assault was staged against the Warmind's core on Mars only to be thwarted by the Guardian and Rasputin's frames. The Legion also has forces engaging the Seraph Towers throughout the system to prevent Rasputin's armaments from destroying the Almighty.

Meanwhile, a [[Shadows of Calus|Shadow]] in service of Calus made off with [[the Fourth Horseman]], an infamous Cabal killer stolen from the [[Tower (Destiny 2)|Tower]], to eliminate key Red Legionnaires. However, the agent was disposed by a countermeasure put into place by [[Emperor Calus]]’s daughter, the Imperial Princess [[Caiatl]]. Regardless of this countermeasure, the Guardians were successful in reclaiming the Fourth Horsemen from a company of Red Legion soldiers guarding it.

During the past few months as Guardians succeeded in activating Rasputin's Seraph Bunkers, The Almighty had almost reached the Last City, so close, it could be seen from the Tower. Thankfully, Rasputin used his re-activated armaments and destroyed the Almighty, finally ending the Red Legion’s plot to annihilate the City, as well as destroying one of Ghaul’s most finest and destructive works. While the remains of the legendary sun destroyer plummeted into mountains close by with a small chunk chipping off a piece of the Tower, the Guardian's home was saved and the Cabal's latest scheme had been reduced to rubble. It is unknown if Amtec died on the ship or not.

With the ''Almighty'''s crash site no longer aflame and its debris no longer falling from the sky, the Red Legion was reduced to a barren few after countless losses. Despite this, the Legion still operates. Several groups of Cabal interfered with the Guardian [[Contact|efforts]] to collect energy from [[Pyramids|Pyramid]] scout ships on [[Io]], seeking to take the phantasmal energy being gathered for their own unknown uses under the leadership of [[Unstoppable Incendior|many]] [[Barrier Colossus|Champions]]. These Champions have been seen to collect blooms, concentrated amounts of phantasmal energy from pyramid scales, and secure them for extraction. It is also unknown whether or not [[Amtec]] still leads the remains of the Legion due to the possibility of her death on the Almighty remaining unconfirmed. With their current state, it is possible they could turn to either Calus' Loyalists or, more likely, Caiatl's Regime. From what is learned by the Guardians at the [[Tree of Silver Wings]], it is extremely likely the Darkness speaks/has spoken to the Cabal.
