At the start of ''[[Destiny 2]]'', the Guardian returned to the Last City only to immediately face its invasion by the [[Red Legion]]. After confronting [[Dominus Ghaul]], however, the Guardian was severely crippled due to being stripped of the Light and forced to retreat in defeat. After much sacrifice and determination, the Guardians succeeded in liberating their home, driving the Red Legion away, and awaken the Traveler from its centuries of slumber, restoring their Light and destroying Ghaul forever. Despite this momentous victory, various figures of the Red Legion would attempt to carry on the Red War, either for their own purposes or to finish what Ghaul had started in destroying the Guardians. Despite these new foes, the Guardians maintained their strength and determination, while also contending with major threats besides the Red Legion.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard'' | At the start of ''[[Destiny 2]]'', the Guardian returned to the [[Last City]] only to immediately face its invasion by the [[Red Legion]].

After the events of Season of the Lost, the Guardian learns that Mars has reappeared and has been temporally displaced in certain areas, and that Savathuns ship has been spotted on the surface. After landing on Mars, they realize that the only way onto her ship is to launch themselves from a cannon that the Cabal had set up in order to destroy her ship first. The Guardian commandeers the cannon, and launches themselves onto the ship. As they roam though the halls, they notice strange traces of Void Light. This leads Ghost to theorize that either another Guardian had landed on the ship, or Savathun had been experimenting with Void Light. The former theory is debunked by Ikora as she states that it’s impossible someone had gotten there before them. The Guardian suddenly comes upon a strange room containing an artifact of the Black Fleet. As they collect it, they are ambushed by more Hive which are being empowered by a [[Lucent Moth|strange insect]] made entirely of Light. Defeating the Hive, the Guardian presses on and eventually finds Savathun going into a portal, but as they try to give chase, they are interrupted by a Hive Knight with Void powers. As they defeat the knight, they suddenly realize that a Ghost has spawned above the Knight and, before their eyes, witness the [[Lightbearer Knight]] resurrect, and are forced to put it down again and crush it’s Ghost, reactivating the portal. Having no time to process what they just saw, the Guardian jumps into the portal and arrive in a strange land, known as the [[Court of Savathûn]], Savathuns Throne World. As they face more Hive, including a [[Lightbearer Wizard]], Savathun taunts the Guardian, and eventually appears in front of them, a full fledged Lightbearer. As they land the killing blow her the Hive Goddess, she suddenly reappears, having tricked the Guardian with an illusion. She then throws them out of her Throne World, back onto the surface of Mars. | |||
After being teleported back to Mars, the Guardian is shown by Ikora a mysterious discovery, a [[Relic (Mars)]] that seems to have the ability to create weapons from memory. Trying to figure out what exactly the artifact that was retrieved from the Witch Queens ship was, the Guardian places it on the Relic and crafts their first [[Glaive]], [[The Enigma]]. Afterwards, the Guardian heads back into Savathun’s Court in order to find out how Savathun stole the Light. As they make their way through the Throne World, they discover black orbs that, when interacted with, reveal platforms that weren’t there, seemingly drawing on the memory of what used to be there. As they discover this power of [[Deepsight]], they receive a message from an unknown person, telling them that they shouldn’t be here and that they should leave, but the Guardian is suddenly ambushed by the [[Lucent Brood]]. As they fight their way through them, including a [[Lightbearer Wizard]], they receive coordinates from the mysterious person for a rendezvous. After killing all the Lucent Hive, they finally arrive at the meeting location and find out that their unknown person is actually a Hive Ghost named [[Fynch]]. Fynch explains that he had at first joined the other ghosts in following Savathun, as they believed that the Hive were just as worthy of the Light as Humanity, but he had come to regret his decision, and refused to revive his Lightbearer Knight, who he dubbed Ken. | |||
Fynch proceeds to give the Guardian a potential lead as to how Savathun could have stolen the Light, Osiris’s old dead ghost, Sagira. Directing the Guardian to a temple dedicated to Savathuns sister, [[Xivu Arath, God of War]], they enter the [[Temple of the Wrathful]], and the Guardian makes use of their newfound Deepsight powers to traverse the broken terrain, eventually arriving to the room where Sagira is contained. After fighting off [[Brutiks, Lightbane]], They collect Sagiras shell and hear part of a memory that Savathun had attached to it. The Guardian hears Savathun speak of a being with a thousand names, calling itself [[The Witness]]. | |||
Once the Guardian retrieves Sagiras shell, they learn that they must strengthen their Deepsight powers in order to unlock the memory that Sagiras shell contains. Ikora recommends that the Guardian heads to the European Pyramid in order to commune with the Darkness statue onboard to strengthen their power. As they arrive, they find that the Cabal are pillaging the pyramid in order to get revenge on the Darkness and Hive for destroying their home world. Declaring these cabal deserters, Empress Caiatl gives the Guardian the green light to fight their way through them. As they slaughter the Cabal and navigate the pyramids twisting landscape, the Guardian realizes that they are attempting to destroying the Darkness statue that the Guardian needs, and so the Guardian has to defeat them. Killing [[Valus Dralgur, the Exiled]], the Guardian finally communes with the pyramid and is able to access the memory of Sagiras shell. However, they must first find a point where they can use their Deepsight to see the memory. | |||
Reporting back to Ikora, the Guardian is directed back to Savathuns Throne World, where Ikoras Hidden have found a place where Sagira could be used. Fighting their way through the Scorn and destroying the interference from pyramid shards, they eventually reach a mirror looking object, known as the altar of echoes. Once the Guardian enters the mirror, they find an altar to place Sagira down. As the memory starts playing, the Guardian hears past Savathun start to speak about the Witness, and how she refuses to work for it. She tells of her plan to possess Osiris to learn the secrets of the Light, then the memory ends. | |||
Returning to Fynch, the Hive Ghost informs the Guardian of another potential lead, located in the [[Temple of the Navigator]], a temple dedicated to Oryx himself. As the Guardian battles their way into the temple, they realize that the Lucent Hive guarding it is an old enemy of theirs, reborn in the light. [[Alak-Hul, the Darkblade]], now known as the Lightblade. Fighting their way through the temple, the finally slay the reborn Knight, only for his ghost to get away. However, the Guardian gets what they came for, a piece of the original Tablets of Ruin. As the Guardian makes their way back to the altar of echoes, they find that they must now complete a puzzle in order to gain access the the altar. Completing the puzzle and slaying the Lucent Archivists, they view the next memory, in which Savathun states that when she obtained the tablet, she learned that her brother Oryx had described in them the ability to create the Taken, however, as she read in between the lines of her brothers words, she realized that the tablets were a riddle, the answer to which was something greater than the ability to Take, it was the power of the Witness, the power to move worlds. She said that she would grant the Traveler a safe haven in her throne world, and seal it away from the Witness. | |||
After making this discovery, the Guardian receives another tip from Fynch, albeit slightly less reliable. He tells of another temple dedicated to Savathun before she became a hive goddess, the temple of the cunning. Although Ikora is unsure of sending the guardian , she nonetheless decides that it’s their only lead. Going through a secret tunnel, the Guardian arrives at the temple, seeing a whole slew of Scorn that had already beaten them there. Once they killed all the Scorn, the Guardian arrives at a statue of Sathona holding her stone worm familiar. Seeing no object, the Guardian realizes that the object was the worm familiar, although almost dead from no sustenance. As the Guardian grabs it, a powerful [[Ahamkara Illusion]] arrives to protect the worm familiar from being taken. Killing the illusion, it unleashes one last curse, suffocating the guardian slowly, forcing the Guardian to quickly run out of the temple. Once out, Ikora expresses shame and regret for sending in the guardian on shaky intel, but is grateful that they retrieved another lead. As the Guardian heads to the altar again, they realize that they cannot access the altar anymore with the worm familiar, being thrown back from the portal. Talking to Ikora in order to find out their next move, Ikora is told by Eris Morn that a [[Mara Sov|trusted source]] has told her of one more artifact located in Savathuns Palace that could tell the Vanguard how Savathun took the Light. | |||
Following up on that lead, the Guardian breaks into the [[Apothecary]], where the artifact is located and the Hive ran twisted experiments on the Light. After slaying [[Savathûn's Right Hand]], the Guardian retrieves the item, a crystal shard from Savathuns old prison. Taking the shard back to the altar, the Guardian must solve the puzzles and slay the Lucent Archivists again. As they place the shard on the altar, they learn the after the ritual that freed her from her worm, Savathun had gone to the cliffs overlooking the Last City. She looked up at the traveler and called it an old friend, saying that she had been chasing it a long time, first as an enemy, but now as a supplicant. As she died from her wounds, the Traveler sent a ghost named [[Immaru]] to resurrect her, meaning that she had been chosen by the Traveler. Once the memory ended, Savathun herself showed up behind the Guardian, and the Guardian realized that they had been tricked into giving Savathun her memories back, as she had lost them when she had been resurrected. She remembered her plan for the Traveler, and thanked the Guardian for helping her. As Savathun began to attack the Guardian, the Guardian ran back through the portal and went to alert the Vanguard of what they’d learned. | |||
Once the Vanguard had all met up, the news that Savathun had chosen the Traveler rocked the Vanguard to their cores. Zavala angrily wondered why the Traveler had given the light to humanities greatest enemy. As Ikora mentioned that the Traveler had been known for uplifting on their civilizations in the Books of Sorrow, Zavala shouted that that was Hive propaganda. As the Vanguard wondered what the next step was, Ikora realized that there was still time to stop the ritual from happening, but first, she needed to visit the Relic. As she arrived at the Relic on Mars, she brought out Savathuns worm familiar that the Guardian had retrieved, and placed it on the surface of the Relic, showing Ikora a memory of Savathun and her siblings being tricked into serving the Darkness, that there had been no real danger that would’ve wiped out the Proto Hive, and that the Witness had just wanted to claim the Krill before the Traveler uplifted them. Using this newfound info, Ikora orders the Guardian to head to Savathuns Palace in order to stop the ritual before the Traveler is taken away and Humanity is left defenseless. | |||
As the Guardian arrives at the palace, they find the way sealed by warring Hive and Scorn, as well as a massive ogre blocking the way, and the Traveler already in the Throne world. Before they could do anything, however, Ikora arrives and kills the ogre, and disables the portal that was blocking the way into Savathuns Palace. Battling their way through the building, Savathun taunts the Guardian. As they finally arrive at the top of the palace. The Guardian battles Savathun and her Lightbearer Hive. Finally killing her, the guardian is suddenly trapped before they can crush her ghost. As Savathun gets back up and starts to retreat, she continues to taunt the Guardian and their ghost, saying that she and her Lucent Hive are merely serving the true will the Traveler, with no exceptions. As the Guardian arrives in the Sanctum of the Brood Queen, they start to battle Savathun again, but they realize that she is too powerful. The guardian activates an altar in the Sanctum, and teleports into a strange area. The Guardian sees that Savathun is spinning a web around the Traveler, luring it into her world. As the guardian slays the Threadweaver wizards, they bring out the worm familiar and place it on the altar. As the memory of the Witnesses deception starts to play, Savathun refuses to believe it. She starts to get angry and begins to fight the Guardian again. As the battle goes on, the Guardian continues to play the rest of the memory, slaying the Threadweavers as well. As the last threadweaver falls, the memory is complete, and Savathun is extremely angry and distressed at this new info. Continuing the fight, the Guardian eventually slays the Witch Queen, and as she dies, she claims that she miscalculated, but so had the Guardian. She says that she had only wanted to keep the Traveler safe, and that now that was up to the Guardian, the game was theirs to play now, win or lose. As she finally dies, Immaru shows up, but before the Guardian can kill him, the Traveler disappears from the Throne World in a flash of bright light, and Immaru escapes. Ikora contacts the Guardian, asking if the deed is done. The Guardians Ghost says that Savathun was dead, but her ghost got away. Ikora says that that is good enough and that her Hidden will collect the body. The Guardians Ghost asks what will happen now, and the Guardian says that now they must prepare for war with the Witness. As the screen fades to black a cutscene is shown of the interior of an unknown structure. As the camera pans up, a shot of the Witness is shown, as well as the missing planets and the Traveler. The Witness speaks, presumably to the Traveler, the children of Sol cry out for Salvation, and that it had brought only death. It says that there will be no more life, and no more death, that the Travelers pale heart held the key, and that there was no where left to run. | |||
===''Season of the Risen''=== | ===''Season of the Risen''=== | ||
After the defeat of Savathun, it was discovered that her Lightbearing Hive had spread to other worlds, such as the EDZ, Cosmodrome, and the Moon, and slaughtering Guardians to harvest their Light. In order to discover what was going on, Empress Caiatl and the Vanguard formed a group called the Coalition, dedicated to working together against the Darkness and any other threats. The Empress, in order to help the Guardian find out what the Lucent Hive were planning and doing, gifted them the [[Synaptic Spear]], a weapon capable of severing the Lucent Hive’s connection to the Light, allowing them to be captured alive and taken into the HELM, and allowing Caiatls most trusted Psion to plug into their minds via a machine and uncover what their plans were. Crow was against the idea of this, as he believed that we were stooping down to our enemies levels and wanted to find another way. Despite his objections, he continued to help the Guardian by doing recon. | |||
After capturing a Lightbearing Knight and Wizard and delving into their minds, its discovered that the Lucent Hive are attempting a ritual in the Scarlet Keep using the stolen Light to manifest Savathuns Throne World and launch a massive attack. The Guardian is sent to stop this ritual and manages to succeed before the Throne World is manifested. Unfortunately Crow, who was originally supposed to be recon on the Guardians mission, had instead snuck into the HELM in order to shut down the machine now that the Lucent Hives plan had been stopped. As he unplugged the Psion from the machine, disaster struck, and the machine, instead of shutting down, began to reverse itself, sending a massive amount of energy into the Psion and causing his retina to burst, killing him after an agonizing amount of pain. | |||
When Caiatl found out, she demanded that the blood debt of her Psion be settled, but Commander Zavala was prepared to shatter their alliance in order to protect Crow. Just as the situation was going to reach peak tension, Saladin steps in, and offers his life in place of Crows. Caiatl respects this and instead of killing either of them, inducts Saladin into her War Council, settling the blood debt. Saladin leaves Crow a message about learning to deal with the guilt of his past, and leaves him his Iron Axe. | |||
Meanwhile, onboard Caiatls ship, Saladin is challenged by a Valus who believes that Saladin isn’t worthy of his position, and challenges him to a Rite of Proving. Saladin reluctantly agrees, and as the two begin to choose their weapons, he notices his Iron Battle Axe, and glares at Caiatl for taking it without permission. The Rite begins, and the two fight ferociously. After a long and grueling fight, Saladin wins, and per the rules of the Rite of Proving, is promoted to Valus, earning him the respect of the other Cabal. Once he begins to train the Cabals soldiers, he decides to call his Cabal men his “Iron War Beasts.”, and is even allowed to come to the tower to continue to host the Iron Banner, as it intrigues Caiatl. | |||
