{Cinematic}

Fade in to a view of the twin Martian moons, Phobos and Deimos, and the gaping hole left by Mars's absence. Piloting their ship, the Guardian arrives within the local orbit of Deimos.

Commander Zavala: The discovery of these mysterious beings we now call the "Shadowkeepers" and their connection to the Darkness is a breakthrough. Eris Morn is working with Ikora Rey and Osiris to form a plan to address this, and I believe they will see this through. In the meantime, the Hidden and Variks are investigating the activities of the Cabal. The loss of their planet, Mars to the Black Fleet is worrisome. More intelligence is required.

Ghost: Zavala, what exactly does this have to do with what's happened on Earth?

Zavala: We don't know much, but I can tell you that your encounter with Eobard Thawne was just the beginning of what's about to be a major battle. Rendezvous with the Stranger and find out what's going on, Guardian. We cannot allow this threat to compromise our safety and spread any further.

{Cutscene}

The camera fades in and pans down to the Aerodrome, where the Guardian previously escaped. The area is completely silent, and now overrun with Shadowkeepers. Dead Guardians blanket the field. A perspective view shows the members and followers of The Shadowkeepers—resurrected villains from the past—all gathering around the portal. Large black flames hove into view as The White Angel prepares for her partner's return. The Black Swordsman walks over to his allies, surveying the scene. All of them kneel to the floor in reverence.

Phoenixaro Uchihamaki: Welcome home, my King.

The Swordsman sneers down at the newly Shadowkeeper life forms. A Lord Shadowkeeper demonstrates his ability by splitting into two copies of himself, still kneeling. A Cherubic Shadowkeeper lowers her head.

The Black Swordsman: Finally... at long last... After 7 centuries, I am finally free.

Malcolm Merlyn: We've been waiting a long time for your return, Kirito, but I think you'll be surprised to find out that Eobard and Morgana had already lost their lives in the process.

Kirito: Not quite, Malcolm. With technology like this, anything is possible.

Malcolm Merlyn smirks as Eobard and Morgana approach near Kirito, looking over as their apparent corpses reveal themselves to be, in fact, the dead bodies of Lightbearers.

Eobard Thawne: I see you've pulled out a trick on our enemies, Kirito.

Morgana le Fay: If I didn't know any better, I'd say that you've managed to have the Guardians do our work for us.

Kirito smirks as he walks towards the audience.

Kirito: The Guardians... they think that they can kill us so easily and destroy everything we've built, but eventually, they'll come to understand that the Darkness can't be destroyed.

Sasuke Uchiha: And how do you know that?

Kirito: The Darkness showed me the truth about how the universe had fallen prey to the corrupt and the greedy with selfish needs ever since the Traveler arrived... and about how we can rewrite not only reality, but also history... all so that we can save our people and usher in a new era. A better world.

-''The Traveler moves through space, passing by many worlds and stars. As its influence touches each world, stylized geometric shapes appear around and about them, some interconnecting.''
+''The camera fades in and pans down to the Aerodrome, where the Guardian previously escaped. The area is completely silent, and now overrun with Shadowkeepers. Dead Guardians blanket the field. A perspective view shows the members and followers of The Shadowkeepers—resurrected villains from the past—all gathering around the portal.

-:'''TES''': ...two powerful, elemental forces, which have been from the beginning of reality.
+:'''[[Forum:Phoenixaro Uchihamaki|Phoenixaro Uchihamaki]]''': Welcome home, my King.
-''The camera pans back, moving swiftly from the Traveler and its benevolence. A group of shaded-in triangles, one noticeably larger than the rest, moves across space. As they move, the designs arranged by the Traveler shatter into fragments, some breaking apart other designs before the [[Forum:The Black Fleet|Black Fleet]] reaches them.''
+''The Swordsman sneers down at the newly Shadowkeeper life forms. A Lord Shadowkeeper demonstrates his ability by splitting into two copies of himself, still kneeling. A Cherubic Shadowkeeper lowers her head.''
-:'''TES''': The [[Light]] and the Dark. We know them as the Traveler, and the Darkness. For the longest time, we were ignorant about the [[Darkness]]' true nature.
+:'''[[Forum:The Black Swordsman|The Black Swordsman]]''': Finally... at long last... After 7 centuries, I am finally free.
+:'''[[Forum:Malcolm Merlyn|Malcolm Merlyn]]''': We've been waiting a long time for your return, Kirito, but I think you'll be surprised to find out that [[Forum:Eobard Thawne|Eobard]] and [[Forum:Morgana le Fay|Morgana]] had already lost their lives in the process.
+:'''Kirito''': Not quite, Malcolm. With technology like this, anything is possible.
-''The Traveler alights over a large planet with fifty-two moons. A larger, more ornate design flourishes—the Ammonite civilization, the Leviathan, and the multitudinous life on Fundament below.''
+''Malcolm Merlyn smirks as Eobard and Morgana approach near Kirito, looking over as their apparent corpses reveal themselves to be, in fact, the dead bodies of Lightbearers.''
-:'''TES''': All information we had concerning it was lost in the [[Collapse]], and all that we knew was rumor, superstition, and other species' many, contradictory myths.
+:'''Eobard Thawne''': I see you've pulled out a trick on our enemies, Kirito.
+:'''Morgana le Fay''': If I didn't know any better, I'd say that you've managed to have the Guardians do our work for us.
-''The Traveler leaves Fundament as its elegance shatters. The symbol of [[Oryx, the Taken King|Oryx]] encompasses the Jovian. As the sphere moves out of view, the Black Fleet arrives and halts above Fundament. The symbol of Oryx breaks apart into three smaller pieces, encircling the Fleet in a slow rotation, before setting off after the Traveler.''
+''Kirito smirks as he walks towards the audience.''
-:'''TES''': We now have learned who our true enemy is. The [[Hive]], the [[Vex]], merely servants to the Black Fleet. They know only one thing—to consume the Light. They hunger for its very essence, yet it is pain and misery. A double-edged sword the Fleet uses to control its thralls.
+:'''Kirito''': The Guardians... they think that they can kill us so easily and destroy everything we've built, but eventually, they'll come to understand that the Darkness can't be destroyed.
+:'''[[Forum:Sasuke Uchiha|Sasuke Uchiha]]''': And how do you know that?
+:'''Kirito''': The Darkness showed me the truth about how the universe had fallen prey to the corrupt and the greedy with selfish needs ever since the Traveler arrived... and about how we can rewrite not only reality, but also history... all so that we can save our people and usher in a new era. A better [[Forum:Aincrad|world]].
-''As the narration progresses, the Traveler moves through the universe, pursued by the Hive and the Fleet. Every single dot of light, every single drawing, the Traveler finds and leaves almost immediately shatters thereafter. Finally the sphere passes through the Milky Way and enters [[Solar System|Sol]].''

-:'''TES''': Victory was within reach—and then came the Fleet. Those broken shapes you fought on [[Europa]], only a prelude. This time, they knew the answer: to achieve victory, they would target you. And so...
-''A fuller image of the Fleet appears onscreen, fully defined, the large central pyramid flanked by hundreds of lesser vessels.''

-''The landscape of [[Earth]] appears. Trees shake in a light breeze, clouds scud across the sky, birdcalls sound. A'' whirring ''sound is heard, growing louder and louder—then the grass parts and a [[Sparrow]] soars across.''
-:'''Commander [[Zavala]]''': Guardian, the Vanguard has detected a signal originating from Variks in the general location of Dwindler's Ridge. You understand that we are cautious, as current intelligence has Variks placed firmly on Europa.
-:'''Ghost''': Yes, Commander. It's worrying. It could be a trap by the Cabal.
-:'''Zavala''': Comscan has detected several Cabal ships in the local area for weeks now, congregating around Dwindler's Ridge. Whether this is the Empress making her move at last, or a Ghual fanatic finally coming out of hiding, we are not certain. You are our eyes and ears on the ground.
-''The Guardian speaks.''
-:'''Guardian''': Understood.
-:'''Zavala''': Zavala out.
-''The Sparrow turns sharply and comes to a halt. Over a ridge the view is breathtaking—between two mountains dominating the sky, their white-capped peaks lofty and tall, with swathes of dark green trees shrouding their sides, is a dark pass covered in shadow where no sunlight can reach. A rumbling suddenly shakes the ground. The Guardian jumps off and crouches down, the Sparrow transmatting away.''
-''High overhead a grand Cabal warship flies into view, its engines pulsing. It goes into the pass and disappears. After a moment of hesitation, the Guardian gets back up and jumps off the ridge.''
