The Vanguard would later set up a meeting with the other Coalition leaders, Zavala, Mithrax and Empress Caiatl, after Mara Sov gathered evidence on what may be Xivu Arath's true end goal: the War God wants the Guardians to restore the Warmind and allow him to smite her Wrathborn forces. The resulting destruction would not only feed her worm but it would fuel a spell powerful enough to open a portal over Earth and summon her armies to overwhelm humanity, just as she had accomplished on [[Torobatl]]. As such, Mara Sov believes that to prevent Xivu Arath's plan from coming to fruition, they must not restore Rasputin. Ana Bray, however, enters the meeting and voices her objections, citing that Rasputin is more than a weapon and points out that they need him to survive the Witness's return. Mara Sov compromises by proposing that instead of a victory over Xivu Arath, they create a stalemate with her by restoring the Warmind as Ana wants but he refrain from retaliating against the Wrathborn. Zavala and the others agree to the plan, having the Guardians continue in their mission in collecting submind data. | The Vanguard would later set up a meeting with the other Coalition leaders, Zavala, Mithrax and Empress Caiatl, after Mara Sov gathered evidence on what may be Xivu Arath's true end goal: the War God wants the Guardians to restore the Warmind and allow him to smite her Wrathborn forces.

Ultimately, the Guardians would be forced to act when Eramis, working alongside the Wrathborn despite her earlier failure, used her splicers to hack into the Seraph Station, gaining access to Rasputin's ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE protocol, the order that in the event the Traveler ever left humanity, the Warmind's Warsat arsenal would be turned against it. With no other option despite Ana's pleas, Rasputin states that their only hope is to activate his Aurora Sacrifice protocol, his self-destruct order for the entire Warsat network. With Rasputin's pillory engram in hand, the Guardians race to Seraph Station, encountering heavy resistance from Eramis's Salvation Fallen and the Wrathborn. Despite this, the Guardians make it to the command center and begin uploading Rasputin into the station but as they were doing so, the Traveler began to leave the Last City, appearing that it was abandoning Earth and humanity. Eramis, believing that the Great Machine is abandoning another civilization to save itself, successfully activated the ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE command but Rasputin managed to complete his sacrifice protocol before the Warsats could fire, thwarting Eramis's efforts. However, the Traveler ceased to move within Earth's outer atmosphere, causing the Vanguard to believe it is taking a stand against The Witness, as the Black Fleet had returned to the Sol System. | |||
Gathering their forces and allies, the Vanguard set up a defense around the Traveler as The Witness and its Black Fleet arrived near Earth. Battling against the [[Shadow Legion]], the army of the new Disciple of the Witness, Calus, the Vanguard fought valiantly but ultimately proved ineffective against the Pyramids and The Witness, even as the Traveler itself blasted a terraforming beam of Light at The Witness itself. Despite this display of power, The Witness subdued the Traveler and made contact with it, sending its Disciple to Neptune to look for a relic called [[The Veil]]. Osiris left the Vanguard to follow the Shadow Legion and the Guardian went along after Ikora urged them to for Osiris's sake. Hitching a ride on the Shadow Legion fleet they arrived at Neptune but also discovered a hidden city named [[Neomuna]], the very same that Osiris had been looking for, coming into contact with the city's defenders, the [[Cloud Striders]], [[Rohan]] and [[Nimbus]]. Joining forces, Osiris and the Guardian worked on preventing Calus from acquiring the Veil for his master, encountering a new Darkness power called [[Strand]] during the battles. This new power gives the Guardian an edge against the Shadow Legion but despite mastering it, Rohan's sacrifice in delaying Calus and even battling Calus directly, The Witness succeeded in making a connection with The Veil, sending a massive energy surge from The Veil to the Traveler, allowing The Witness to create a gateway upon it. The Vanguard leadership upon the H.E.L.M. could only helplessly watch as The Witness got what it wanted and passed through the gateway, unable to follow. | |||
Despite the loss of the Traveler, the Vanguard's forces still maintained their connection with the Light and reaffirmed their commitment to finding a way to follow the Witness and prevent it from achieving the Final Shape. In addition to defending Neomuna, the Vanguard dealt with a Shadow Legion invasion in the EDZ where Mara Sov answered the call for aid in combating them. Lending some of her powers to the Guardians and combining it with their Light, the Guardians are able to breach into the Pyramid outposts the Shadow Legion had been setting up and holding prisoners within. With their newly acquired power to traverse the Ascendant Plane, the Guardians managed to enter the Pyramid outposts and rescue the prisoners, including Amanda Holliday. However, weeks of combating the Shadow Legion and rescuing their captives would take a tragic turn as after the Guardians and their allies infiltrated the Shadow Legion's most fortified prison, Amanda was killed during the escape, crushing the Coalition leaders. Despite their grief, the Guardians and the Coalition refuse to allow their sadness to overwhelm them as it was something Amanda wouldn't want. Instead they honor her by continuing the fight that culminates in taking out the Shadow Legion's command ship in the EDZ. | |||
