This is Primus Draug'oth speaking. A Cabal speaking on humanity's terms is crazy, I understand, but I decided I'm going to cooperate. Time and time again, I've committed several atrocities in the name of the Cabal High Command, and I'd like to take it all back, yet I had no other choice. Not that feeling bad about doing these terrible things and being forced to do them ever made it okay to do them in the first place, but...I wish for a chance to make amends, because that is what I must do. The only way for me to truly move forward is to atone, and if I fail to do so, then I have failed at finding my purpose in life. I'll explain how I got here. This is a long one. Be prepared.

Weapons training came next. We first had to practice with the bread-and-butter of the Cabal military, [[Slug Rifle]]s, before would make our way up to the likes of [[Projection Rifle]]s and [[Heavy Slug Thrower]]s, which were reserved for the elites. My dad gave me a Slug Rifle for when I go to war, and this was the place to put it to the test. If there are any tips I can give here, it would be this: accuracy, reflexes, and awareness are key. I was consistently on target, with good reaction times and knew full well what my intended targets were.

He greeted my friend and I with a warm welcome to the [[Siege Dancers]], and told us to stand in line with the others so he could tell us what we were in for, "What does it mean to be a Siege Dancer? Only being tasked with the most daring prospect any [[Cabal]] soldier has attempted the feats of: push into unclaimed territory and conquering it without mercy, ensuring the opposition has no chance of retaliating against us, and setting up fortifications there, which we guard with prejudice. It means...that we have been privileged with the most important duties of any [[Cabal]] soldier. It means...that we form both the hammer and the wall of the army. It means...that amongst the [[Cabal]]...we...are the ELITES! The lot of you have been selected for your bravery, your determination, your ferocity, and for that, the [[Cabal]] High Command appreciates your service. Now, we must do what a Siege Dancer would do, and take what we see fit to be ours!" A [[Harvester]] dropped down outside the base waiting to pick us up and deliver us to our first destination: [[Valley of the Kings]].

{{Quote|So, you penetrated the cognition mesh?" <br> "Yes, but I was unable to get past the other layers. Interference and all that." <br> "The Vex are getting stronger, then. As they gain control over time, they may choose to wipe us all out of existence. But I think you are in a good enough position to start getting in there yourself."|Thru'ul and I on the defense the Vex put up, while also considering me moving up the ranks |quote}}

{{Quote|We have been ordered by High Command to set our sights on another planet in the Solar System: Earth. [[The Last City]], the last safe space the [[Traveler]] can protect with its [[Light]]. If we can crack that open, we can bring humanity to its knees. Rally your weapons, your might, and together, we will grind their city to dust."|Me rallying my forces to get ready to conquer Earth |quote}}

We were surrounded, but I continued to stand my ground. I noticed that they started pushing forward very rapidly, continuously using their Super abilities. Another day later, the dust had finally settled. Him and I were the only ones left standing. Everyone else was on the floor, either too wounded to get back up or lying dead on the ground and showing no more signs of life, including my friend Rul'urg. As we put down our weapons, Saladin and I were looking at each other face-to-face. "You must be lost, Primus." I knew what he meant. I did a messed up thing, even when I had no choice. It was against Cabal law to oppose or decline the mission objective, and that forced me to walk the path I started on. I wanted to fight for my people, but I never thought it would involve conquering the innocent. With this new lesson learned, I wanted a chance to call out my people's ways. I said to him, "Yes, I'm lost. We both may fight for what we think is right, but your cause is noble and mine barbaric. Please help me see a new way. Humanity never deserved this. I'm sorry." "You won't be forgiven so easily, but with enough dedication, you can turn this situation around." "Thank you."

{{Quote|Suddenly, I feel this sudden change inside of me, in both my mind and abilities. It's like I'm getting pumped full of power I've never felt before. But I can quickly adapt, as I've been looking for a way to calm down and tune my taste for destruction significantly lower than it was previously. I ought to feel a lot more relaxed and comfortable. I know it'll make me feel a lot better."|What I was thinking when Light was coursing through me |quote}}

 

In front of the Traveler itself, I gave a speech to a large crowd of Guardians with the following main idea in mind, "It doesn't matter where you come from. The Light is a gift to all who welcome its embrance. Guardians, it is my pleasure to begin my alliance with all of you, to work closely with you to reclaim all you have lost. And now, I join the forces of humanity, and returning to a time when you were much more powerful." I then took up the position as one of the forerunners in humanity's military forces, leading numerous offensives against their enemies and becoming one of the fiercest defenders of [[The Last City]] ever since. And most importantly, thank you, Guardians, for showing me the [[Light]]...

{{Quote|I like this Primus guy now, and his way of solving problems. Like me, he just shoots 'em. That's what I keep telling everyone, but they don't listen, and that's why I'm glad to have him on our side. |[[Cayde-6]] |quote}}

As one of the fiercest defenders of [[The Last City]], and an elite commander amongst the [[Titan]]s, it's appropriate that I'd be all the more powerful as a combatant. I retain my prior arsenal, and exposure to the [[Light]] has added to that. They have trusted me enough for me to be this powerful. But, of course, there are those that fear my temperament, especially the [[Vanguard]]. That's only in the heat of battle, though, and I'm feared for what I CAN do, not for what I'm ABOUT to do. I might as well tell you about how I fight.

*'''[[Heavy Slug Thrower]]''': This is my main weapon, my Heavy Slug Thrower. This particular model fires at 3000 RPM and is built to fire high-caliber micro-rockets. Enemies struck with sustained fire from them will be stunlocked and shoved backwards into a position where they cannot escape. This means I can essentially keep enemies pinned against a wall or corner and have my allies finish them off.

*'''[[Cabal Shield]]''': You must be familiar with those invulnerable shields that the [[Phalanx]] [[Cabal]] unit uses. I have one of those, but it's much bigger to accommodate to my bulk, so it protects me from the front entirely, and it can even deflect enemy projectiles, as well as perform that shield bash that the Phalanx does, but the difference is that my shield lunge range is a lot further than you might think. The point is, I can walk forward while blocking attacks and only have to worry about getting flanked from behind thanks to this shield.  

*'''Modified [[Scorch Cannon]]''': During my adventures in the [[Wolf Rebellion]], I got a [[Scorch Cannon]] from a Reef Chest. It was enhanced the weapon with a hotter and bigger "furnace" to give the weapon incendiary properties, so that it creates large spots of fire upon detonation. I pair my shield with this cannon so I can not only absorb enemy attacks, but also chuck everything I have right back out at them.

*'''[[Hammer of Sol]]''': Remember, I'm a [[Sunbreaker]]. When sorely pressed, I will resort to throwing explosive [[Solar]] hammers that can clear out entire hordes of enemies. Not much more needs to be said other than, "It's HAMMER TIME!"

*'''Quake Punch''': Despite my heavy reliance on weapons and abilities, my physical bulk gives me immense strength, especially with my punches. My punches can break down enemy structures faster than any other [[Titan]] would, but then it wouldn't be a fair comparison, given that they're humans and I'm a [[Cabal]], so there's a huge gap right there.

*'''[[Solar]] Overshield''': My armor was incredibly thick already, being able to cushion enemy attacks similar to a vending machine. But with [[Light]] coursing through my veins, I have been given an extra defense: a Solar overshield. This stacks with my armor to make me even more of a walking tank than I was previously. This oughta reduce my chances of dying.

*Get ready to defend [[The Last City]] against the invasion from [[Crota, Son of Oryx]] and her wife [[Omnigul, Will of Crota]].

*Take down all important Hive targets running loose in the [[Cosmodrome]] to secure the area and lock it down with reinforcements.

I joined the Tower after the [[Black Heart]] died, so my only job was to patrol the [[Cosmodrome]] and run around killing any enemies I see. If I noticed anything extraordinary, I was to report it to the [[Vanguard]]. Now, at first, it seemed like a typical day on patrol: we had the [[House of Devils]] appearing all over the place, and occasionally saw some [[Hive]] to mow down in the morning. However, when I got to the [[Skywatch]], I noticed a [[Seeder Ship]] emitting a green toxic liquid that eroded its surroundings. Tons of [[Thrall]] were coming out of it, and they were all headed for me. I fended them all off and decided to push on into the Seeder until after seeing that they were loads of [[Acolyte]]s, [[Wizard]]s, and [[Knight]]s flooding the area. It was at this moment that I retreated all the way back to the city.  

[[Commander Zavala]] asked me to report what I've seen, "I came across a Seeder Ship at the Skywatch and there were tons of Hive coming out of it. First the Thrall, then Acolytes, and the Wizards and Knights! There was too much for me alone to fend off." "Cayde. Show the Primus the way to [[Eris Morn]]." "Wait, why me?", said Cayde with a very confused look on his face. "Ok, here we go. Follow me, Primus." Cayde and I went down a long hallway and stopped in front of an [[Eris Morn|eerie-looking woman]] holding a crystal. "Primus, as much as I hate to say this, this is Eris Morn. She's our expert matter on the Hive. Got any questions, ask her, but chances are she's going to ramble on and on, so don't do that." Eris turned to Cayde, gave him an annoyed look and said, "That's because you never listen to me." Then she turned to me and said, "At any rate, Crota and his army are preparing a massive invasion on Earth. But before we can destroy Crota himself, we must destroy his most trusted lieutenants: [[Sardon, Fist of Crota]] and [[Omnigul, Will of Crota]]. Sardon resides in [[The Grottos]], where he commands his master's armies through a fist of [[Darkness]]. You must push in and see to his end. Omnigul, meanwhile, erratically travels from one place to another, constantly monitoring the progress of the battle. You must corner her in the [[Jovian Complex]] and silence her screams." I look at her confused and say to her, "What's in it for me?" "You will have my thanks." "Is that really all?" "Yes. I do not have anything for you at the moment, nor do I plan to." "What a fucking downer." And then I stormed out.  

I went back to the Cosmodrome in search of the two targets I've been assigned to kill. I decided to go after Sardon first because he was just hanging around in one place. When I got to the Grottos, no one was there. There was a 30-second pause before anything happened. Suddenly, Darkness was coursing through my veins. I've been poisoned; my abilities of [[Light]] had been shut down; I was weighed to the ground; there was a green haze in my field of view. I didn't know where it was coming from until I saw a Knight appear from out of nowhere. I knew it had to be Sardon. He charged at me with a [[Cleaver]] in hand and I rushed at him ready to land a bone-cracking punch. I missed, and he quickly slashed me in the stomach. I ran off into a little cave where he couldn't reach me. I thought he was only deadly up close. But he sent in a wave of Thrall to flush me out and covered them with a series of Arc shockwaves by slamming his sword on the ground. These shockwaves traveled across the floor for a very long distance. They got to me and I felt the Thrall jumping on me. After stomping on them and recovering from the attack, I ran around and behind him. He knew I was coming from behind him so he did a backward slash but I caught his sword when he was doing so. I broke his sword in half and punched him on the spot, killing him instantly. And suddenly the burden of Darkness was removed. I felt much better. Then I looked for Omnigul.  

I've chased after her so many times until I finally caught her in the Jovian Complex raising an army. I pulled out my Heavy Slug Thrower and started firing away, while also pounding her with my Hammer of Sol. She kept teleporting away and sending in reinforcements, but I outlasted them all. Eventually, there was nowhere for Omnigul to go, so I punched her to death. I thought I was ready to take on Crota, but the creepy lady told me that I had to banish his soul first. If his soul had been successfully woken, he would enter the material world from his Ascendant Realm and start wreaking havoc on us...for some reason. Anyway, down to the [[Chamber of Night]] I went. And what did I see? A whole squadron of [[Cursed Thrall]] coming towards me. I shot them with my [[Slug Rifle]] and they all exploded! As weird as that was, I found Crota's most zealous guards on the way to his soul thing: Hallowed Knights and Hallowed Wizards galore. I kept cutting through them until I came across some [[Waker of Crota|Wakers of Crota]], who were of course waking Crota's soul. Only when I killed the Wakers could I banish Crota's soul from the material realm. As Crota's soul rose from the ground, it unleashed total hell. It was spinning violently in the air, so it was hard for me to get a clear shot on it. What could I do? Oh right! When precision is hard to achieve, just fire as many bullets as possible! It's Heavy Slug Thrower time! It took a lot of bullets to destroy the soul. How many will Crota himself take?  

I found out as soon as I entered his realm: none. Because only his shield could be shot down, not himself. I would need a sword from the [[Swordbearer]] downstairs. So I "asked" him if I could use the sword to kill Crota, and after it fell out of his hands, I took out my Slug Rifle to shoot down his shield, and ran at him with the sword, cutting him to bits. But he quickly got back up and summoned his Oversoul which I shot at with the underslung grenade launcher of my rifle. And because the Oversoul was a distraction, this gave Crota the opportunity to slash me in the stomach and zap me to death. And because I couldn't regenerate my shield, I was severely weakened, but I still had my strength. As long as I had the sword, I could kill him. Unluckily for him, his Oversoul went down, and I got back to wasting him. As he knelt once more, I landed the killing blow. Then all of a sudden, the lady from earlier came out and told me that I have given her the gift of vengeance or something like that. I told her that I will never work for her again, but she said, "Our work is never done, Primus. Not as long as the Darkness plagues humanity."

*So my work with Eris will never stop, but at least I stopped a potential full-scale Hive invasion.

*Someone else will probably continue his work, though, right? Because the Hive has a pantheon of gods.

*So, really, this was mostly a waste of time and I could've let any other Guardian do the job.

*Besides, I usually feel pretty lazy, so I could just lay back and eat some burritos.

I'ma say this right off the bat: I don't like the Awoken. I don't like their way of doing things; I don't like their ties to the Fallen; I just flat out don't trust them. Regardless, I got a distress signal from [[The Reef]] and reluctantly decided to investigate. When I got there, I found the throne room in ashes. A majority of the [[Royal Awoken Guard]] in the area lay dead, and Queen Mara Sov lying down on her throne completely in shock. I walked up to her and asked her what was wrong. She told me, "I have been betrayed. The Fallen that I once controlled have been rallied under their newly freed [[Kell]], [[Skolas]]. After having escaped from the [[Prison of Elders]], he plans to unite all Fallen Houses and bring them together to plunder both The Reef and The Last City." "Well, I've killed tons of Fallen before. Doesn't seem too difficult to me." "You do not understand, Primus. These specific Fallen overthrowing their captors is no small feat. They are unlike any breed of Fallen you have dealt with on [[Earth]], the [[Moon]], or [[Venus]]. Speaking of Venus, that's where I hear they are currently settled. Go there, and let the hunt begin." She then called, "[[Petra]]!" Petra then came and said, "I know what I've been called for. I will not stop until it is done. Those Fallen ''will'' pay. Might I ask who this Cabal is standing next to me?" "He's the only Cabal affiliated with the Last City: Primus Draug'oth." She then looked up at me nervously, "Oh, well...hi." "Hello...Petra. What is this Fallen threat your Queen speaks of?" "They rally under the Wolf Banner; I don't think you've heard of this. Well, come with me and we'll set you up for this counter-rebellion." And off the two of us went. She attached a comm device to my armor and connected it with hers. I then took my [[Harvester]] and flew to Venus.  

Petra then came on the comms and we had a conversation about Skolas' whereabouts. She told me that after trying to conquer several Fallen houses, he failed. As I went up the Vex spire at [[The Citadel]], I saw him in the remote distance. She sent in support to help me get across the great chasm. Then after the chasm, I slowly walker up to Skolas, who noticed me. He turned around, and looked at me dead in the eye. I took out my Heavy Slug Thrower and opened fire. He kept teleporting around me and fired his [[Shrapnel Launcher]] in my face. I was bleeding, and was losing vision. But after watching him teleport several times back to back, I finally grabbed him by the threat, and kept bashing his head into the wall, making him stunned. I picked up my gun again and shot him several times in his chest. He was lying crippled on the floor. A series of red rings appeared around him. They were coming from a tractor beam being fired by the Queen's flagship, where she sent her transmission as he picked him up and sent him to the Prison of Elders. And then, that's where I went. Because I hated him that much. Don't ask.  

As I went into the Prison, I met up with a Fallen named [[Variks]]. He was the warden. "A Cabal champion, I presume, yes? Name is Variks. Yours?" "Primus Draug'oth." "Primus, welcome to the Prison. Clear out enemies, impress your warden, and be rewarded treasure down below. And eventually, meet up with Skolas and end him for good." "I thought I killed him." "Killed him, you haven't. Only severely wounded. However, traces of Ether have been bringing him back. When you get the chance. Kill. Him. Dead." "I accept." "Good...but you must prove yourself. Prove to me you are worthy." So I went down below and cleared out some hostiles for several hours, and finally Variks approved, "You have won. Grab treasure and prepare yourself for the final fight, yes?" And then, I saw it, a big chest at the end revealing a [[Scorch Cannon]] for me to use. I then went back in the arena to challenge Skolas again. I decided to use it against him and it worked wonders. He had a cannon of his own, and he even tried to poison me, but I was big enough to live through it. The poison was too weak for me. Eventually, I blasted him into oblivion, and at last, he was dead. Goodbye, Skolas the Legitimately Insane!

Eris came back. Goddamnit, not her. She even had a creepy smile on her face. "Primus. Guess what. We get to continue our work." "NO! I am NOT working with you ever again!" And so I did nothing to stop what was coming next. Or at least...I didn't want to. Regardless, I was sent to investigate a Cabal firebase located on [[Phobos]] on Zavala's behalf, to respond to their distress signal. I flew my Harvester over to their base and saw numerous crippled and dead Cabal lying on the floor. I dug deeper into the base to see some Centurions being pulled in by a strange rift, like they're being sucked into another dimension. "What was that?", I suddenly said in a rush. I began fearing for my life as I figured I would suffer the same fate. The same rifts kept appearing but in the form of floating mines that detonated on contact. I then reached the center of the base, loaded with those rifts and a [[Blight|giant black sphere]] in the middle. I slowly approached it but then a blinding flash occurred and the rifts exploded to life, taking the forms of corrupted enemy forces. These were the [[Taken]]. The [[Taken War]] had begun.

At first I tried to defend myself with my Heavy Slug Thrower and Scorch Cannon as well as my Hammers of Sol, but the Taken grew larger and stronger, and so I could only run away. Outside, I saw my Harvester parked on the airfield, and I had evacuated. I then received an incoming broadcast from the Vanguard to tell them of my whereabouts. "Primus, report", Zavala said. "There were Cabal soldiers being pulled into another dimension only to come back out as corrupted life forms. What can Eris make of this?" She then came in and said, "They are Taken. You slayed Crota, but that awoke his father: Oryx, the Taken King. From his ascendant realm, he commands an army of Hive and Taken and sends in [[Echo of Oryx|Echoes]] to blight the system. If he is not stopped, the whole system will be purged." "Where do we find him?", I asked. Cayde then cut in and said, "Don't worry, Primus. I'll direct you to the [[Dreadnaught]] so you can kill him yourself." "Cayde, you once again undermine the one important task we must take before the slaughter. In this case, you undermine the need for an Ascendant Shard. With it, you will be able to enter Oryx's realm and destroy him."

Eris and Cayde sent the shard to me via transmat, which prompted me to mark the Dreadnaught's coordinates. It took several months for me to locate it, but when I did, I found a gigantic hull breach made by a Cabal warship, and its soldiers fighting against the Hive. I decided to fly into the breach, past the fighting, through the tunnels and into the rupture that lead to Oryx's realm. I ended up in a very strange place. As I dug deeper, I killed Hive and Taken reinforcements alike, with them getting stronger as I kept going. Then, a long empty tunnel swallowed me in and drained me of my Light. When I woke up hours later, I found myself in a [[Threshold]] of sorts, with a Taken rift at the end of the hallway. Once it detected me standing up, it exploded, signaling the arrival of Oryx. He was massive, and extremely powerful. He was immune to bullets and rockets, and my Light is drained, so I might be done for...unless you count the Ascendant Shard that got me in. I had to consume some of its power to even stand a chance against him. He casted countless spells on me, but my resilience allowed me to block them. He tried to drag me into another dimension, but my shard released a pulse that cancelled this, stunning Oryx and dropping remnants of my corrupted Light. I began to channel it, reclaiming it for myself. I then unleashed my Hammers of Sol to send him screaming into space, and with one final blow, his body shriveled up and he died, permanently...

I got a live-recorded transmission from [[Lord Saladin|Lord Saladman]], who I have not seen in a long time. He told that this would be the first time we actually work together, and so he gave me this task, "Primus, I'm investigating a dangerous force marching their way up [[Felwinter Peak]]. Intercept them before they reach [[Vostok Observatory]] and break open the [[Iron Temple]]." "What could they possibly want?" "It's...disturbing. I'll inform you as you climb the mountains." So I flew my Harvester to the mountains and when I landed, I saw a rough summit up ahead. It was bitter cold, but it was the intense wind speed that slowed me down above all things. As I got up farther, I saw some strange-looking Fallen. They certainly looked nothing like the Fallen I've seen before. Saladin warned me, "Those are the Devil Splicers. They managed to unearth SIVA even though we buried it away. SIVA is a nanotechnology that can be used to manipulate and form anything, but when it gets out of control, it eradicates everything in sight and infects all those who stand in its path, like a virus. What's especially concerning is that this radical sect of Fallen have used it to enhance their leadership to create new, enhanced models, even a new Archon and a long-lost [[Prime Servitor]], [[Sepiks Perfected]]." And just as he said that, Sepiks came swooping down. It took about a couple of hours to fend it off from the Iron Temple, and the Splicers soon retreated.

I then went down into the [[Plaguelands]] and challenged the champions of the Splicers to gain clues of their whereabouts, specifically in the [[Archon's Forge]]. I collected their dropped SIVA networking and returned it to the Iron Temple for analysis. According to the results from [[Shiro-4]] and [[Tyra Karn]], the Splicers seem to have guarded Sepiks in their old hiding ground and their Archon hides deep within the [[Perfection Complex]]. I decided to tackle Sepiks first because it was more active. Shiro warned me of its enhanced shielding systems, but I told him that I already had a countermeasure to get around it: "Boom! Scorch Cannon." Sepiks, even with its increased defenses, was rather easy to dispose of, but then they told me that their true leader, [[Aksis, Archon Prime]], wasn't so easy to find.

The Perfection Complex is buried deep within the Plaguelands, and I would've had to make it past the SIVA replication chamber if I were to be able to face him. Nothing like a good 1, 2 explosion to shut that off, thanks to earlier Guardian efforts, so now I can just worry about making it through to Aksis and telling him that his life is not of worth, but not before [[Rahndel, the Perfected]] could give me a proper spanking. He was a rough one, but I eventually took him down. Then, I ended up in a dark room with two glowing red eyes in the back of the room. As soon as I looked at them, the room surged with electricity, the lights flashed on, and there he was: Aksis. He tried to overtake my body with SIVA swarms, but the Light within my veins amplified, sending out a distress signal throughout my entire body to empower myself. As a result, I became heavily resistant to SIVA and moved around faster to avoid his attacks. I popped my Hammers and attacked back. He took a lot of damage, but after sustaining several slash wounds, I struck down Aksis with a blow to the head, his systems fried, and was permanently shut down. The [[SIVA Crisis]] is won.

I saw the City turn to ashes. The [[Red Legion]] had arrived. On the one hand, they indirectly threatened my new home, but on the other hand, my [[Light]] powers have been lost and I didn't feel like fighting back. So I ran to my [[Harvester]] and flew away, far away from the city and into space. I tried to search for new power.  

 

First, I landed in the [[Outskirts]] of the [[European Dead Zone]]. All I encountered was a bunch of [[Fallen]]. However, these Fallen weren't under any house colors I've seen before. They were purple; I've heard reports that remnants from all the separate houses banded together in desperation to form the [[House of Dusk]]. I even came across a [[Serkuleks, the Fount|massive Servitor]] that I thought I could sap power from. All I had with me was my [[Heavy Slug Thrower]]. My other weapons and equipment was lost under the rubble of the Red Legion invasion, so I just had to make do out here with what I have. Actually, now that I think about it, why is it called a Dead Zone? It seems awfully alive. Sure doesn't help that this Servitor's here, either. It takes a lot of bullets to bring it down. I had to fight it off for hours. Bullet after bullet after bullet at 3000 RPM and it's still there. I had no choice but to run up to it and start punching it in the eye. It was draining my life force, but I could easily soak it up. After several minutes of bashing its wires in, the Servitor finally exploded and died. But no luck at getting my hands on their enhanced ether. The Fallen scattered just as I went aboard my Harvester to blast them down.  

My next destination was [[Titan (moon)|Titan]]. I landed in the [[New Pacific Arcology]], but little did I know the [[Hive]] would be here. I decided to fly back but had to defend myself against a Hive assault before doing so. Then I went over to the [[Arcadian]] on [[Nessus]]. No luck. Vex fuckery and all that. Although I did have to hold my own against an [[Integration Mind]] leading a Vex construct operation, which was fun. My bullets disappeared when hitting its rotating shields, so I could simply run up to it and punch it. However, when it died, it left behind its core, which was about to detonate. I remember the first time this happened to me, so I ran away from the explosion and survived. The Vex retreated. Last up was the [[Echo Mesa]] on [[Io]]. Everything leading up to this was a reminder of my potential strength. This encounter was the most shocking to me. The [[Taken]] lurked these grounds. I've seen them before, but not on the battlefield. And to make things worse, there were a few Cabal Taken figures I could make out from a distance: my professors, my uncle, and my father were all Taken! They were long-time friends, but once they're Taken, they cannot be brought back, so I had to kill them as soon as they saw me. Hours later, they finally went down and disappeared into nothingness. I was still so much in shock at what I had seen. I killed my only family, but I had to. They were corrupted. I swore vengeance on his name. Whoever Took my family and friends, I will find you, and I will KILL YOU. I promise that.  

But that's not my main focus right now. I was looking for greater power, something that could easily be earned and cannot be taken away from me, power that could truly become a part of me. I looked in so many places and couldn't find true power. I spent months flying through space in my Harvester. Nothing. I had to sustain myself with all the burritos onboard. Even more months passed. I fell asleep during that time, until I had a strange vision in my head, picturing an alternate realm. That was when I woke up and looked outside my window. There, I saw a [[The Leviathan|gigantic space catfish]] floating by. I figured that the presence of that ship was what caused that weird dream. "Well, shit. This is going to be interesting." I said out loud to myself. As I got closer and landed, I realized that this was actually another [[Cabal]] flagship. It was very royally designed, which was very unusual for me. I've never known Cabal to have any sort of royalty, even though we have an [[Emperor]]. I remember his name, too. [[Calus]]. I've heard that name before, but I can't remember when or where. But here is where I realized that this is his flagship.  

I decided to trek forward deep into his ship to his throne room. All the royal Cabal guards simply stood there and laid a path for me to Calus' throne. I finally got to the throne room, and there he was. Emperor Calus. Laying in his throne enjoying a cup of royal wine. He turned his head to me and said, "Draug'oth. I've been looking for you. You seek the ultimate power, do you?" "Yes. How would you know?" "Because I have that power myself. Power that I know that you would seek. So, I hear that the [[Light]] ultimately did you no good." "It served me well when I had it. But when it somehow lost me, I've been searching far and wide." "Well, now that you're here without power, I might as well show you. You're going to enjoy this. But first, I need you to sip this royal wine." He gave me his chalice for me to take a sip, I took a quick drink, and I put it down beside his throne. "Now, my [[Councilors]] will arm you with true power." His Councilors appeared out of nowhere floating above ceremonial plates. They started to surround me in a bubble. Calus was holding a string of energy in his hands, stretching it apart, and then focusing it on me. My body flashed. The Councilors then fired focus beams at me. I was immobilized for 10 seconds, but felt very different afterwards. They released me soon after. "Now that you have this power, Primus, take your rightful place alongside me and together, we will grow fat from strength." "Deal."

*'''Cabal Cluster Missiles''': Like a proper [[Colossus]], I can now launch a series of cluster missiles out of the back of my armor. These will blind and slow anyone that gets hits by them, so beware.

*'''[[Energy Shield]]''': Yes, I still carry a shield with me. Don't ask. It can form a widened barrier, though, which is cool.

*'''[[Cabal Bronto Cannon]]''': This bad boy fires [[Void]] mortar blasts which pack a huge punch. Again, I carry this with my shield.

*'''Mental Collapse''': I can force one's mind to go out of control just by thinking of something terrible and putting it in their minds via the mindscape. This will cause a mental collapse for the victim, who will then be petrified and will die on the spot.
