| '''{Loading Screen}'''
| |
| *'''Lord Saladin''': Commander, we've picked up Ahsa's trail deep below Kraken Mare, behind Xivu Arath's battle lines.
| |
| *'''Zavala''': Understood. The deputy commander, Saint, and I will set up a perimeter to draw the Hive's attention. Then the Guardian can break through unscathed.
| |
| *'''Lord Saladin''': The Iron War Beasts prepare to support our assault. Say the word.
| |
| *'''Zavala''': Keep them in reserve until the Guardian has eyes on Ahsa.
| |
| *'''Sloane''': Daylight's burning, and she's in pain. I can feel it.
| |
| *'''Lord Saladin''': I'll find you on the field, Sloane. Hit your marks, and we'll get this done. Move out!
| |
| '''{Gameplay}'''
| |
| | |
| '''Mesopelagic Twilight, New Pacific Arcology, Titan'''
| |
| | |
| ''The Guardian transmats in 1000 meters into the Methane Sea.''
| |
| *'''Zavala''': Fireteam, check in. I've reached my position on the left flank. I've encountered a ritual.
| |
| *'''Sloane''': I'm setting up on the right. Looks like a smaller ritual site here too.
| |
| *'''Saint-14''': Pushing toward the commander's position now. Lord Saladin: My drop pod is deploying to your location, Sloane. Drifter, you're on Tac.
| |
| *'''Drifter''': Well, all right. Taken energy's spiking up ahead of you, hero.
| |
| *'''Sloane''': That must be Ahsa — ahh! My arm! Whatever they're doing, it's getting worse. If we're gonna do something about it, now's the time!
| |
| *'''Zavala''': Guardian, start pushing forward — as soon as Saladin's pod hits ground, we launch our diversion.
| |
| ''The Guardian dives up to 2750 meters into the Methane Sea.''
| |
| | |
| '''Bathypelagic Midnight, New Pacific Arcology, Titan'''
| |
| *'''Lord Saladin''': Pod grounded. I'm in position.
| |
| *'''Zavala''': Guardians, strike!
| |
| ''The Guardian defeats the Taken force.''
| |
| *'''Zavala''': Fireteam, report! Saint and I hold the left flank.
| |
| *'''Saint-14''': It is working! We draw them off the Guardian!
| |
| *'''Lord Saladin''': Enemy reinforcements flooding the right flank! We're holding.
| |
| *'''Sloane''': This line doesn't fall back.
| |
| *'''Drifter''': OK, hotshot. It's all you now.
| |
| ''The Guardian follows the Taken energy off the usual path.''
| |
| | |
| '''Wrathborn Sink'''
| |
| *'''Drifter''': Found the long-girl. Guardian's almost there. Dropping a ping to the fireteam.
| |
| *'''Sloane''': Taking fire. Repositioning.
| |
| *'''Lord Saladin''': I've got you! Saint-14: They are overrunning our position! Zavala!
| |
| *'''Zavala''': Drop wards and focus fire on their ritualists! No one gets past us!
| |
| ''The Guardian gets closer to the source, moving past an imposing Pyramid door.''
| |
| | |
| '''Hadal Sunken Shelf, New Pacific Arcology, Titan'''
| |
| | |
| ''Three Screams of Xivu Arath congregate around a ritual circle. There are multiple hive and taken, among them Eyes of Xivu Arath.''
| |
| | |
| ''In an opening in the cave, Ahsa is captured for the ritual.''
| |
| *'''Sloane''': Is that... Wait... these rituals... they're trying to Take Ahsa!
| |
| *'''Drifter''': Keep your Taken pants on. I ain't never seen a ritual our walking tank couldn't smash.
| |
| *'''Sloane''': Don't hesitate, Guardian — she's relying on you.
| |
| *'''Drifter''': That's a whole lotta magic, and I bet those Wizards are holding the reins. Get in there, and start breaking things!
| |
| ''Ahsa bestows her gifts to the Guardian.''
| |
| | |
| ''The Guardian defeats the first Scream of Xivu Arath.''
| |
| | |
| ''The Guardian takes the corrupted coral they hoarded and purifies it using the deployed tsunameter.''
| |
| | |
| :'''Egregore coral purified!'''
| |
| | |
| ''The ritual weakens as the coral gets purified.''
| |
| | |
| ''Ahsa bestows more of her gifts to the Guardian.''
| |
| *'''Xivu Arath''': [screams in pain, then laughs]
| |
| *'''Drifter''': Every Wizard you put in the dirt makes a dent. Plug away, hero!
| |
| *'''Sloane''': [pants] Ahsa just got a second wind, Guardian — whatever you're doing, keep it up.
| |
| ''The Guardian defeats the second Scream of Xivu Arath.''
| |
| | |
| ''The ritual weakens further as the coral gets purified.''
| |
| *'''Lord Saladin''': War Beasts, DEPLOY! You will take that position!
| |
| ''Saladin’s Iron War Beasts arrive to aid the Guardian, led by Tuk’rin, Iron War Boss.''
| |
| *'''Xivu Arath''': CLEVER, WARRIOR OF THE SKY.
| |
| *'''Sloane''': Hold on, Ahsa! We're coming!
| |
| *'''Xivu Arath''': THE COWARD FLESH MUST BE TAKEN.
| |
| ''The Guardian defeats the last Scream of Xivu Arath.''
| |
| | |
| ''The ritual breaks, freeing Ahsa from Xivu Arath’s hold.''
| |
| *'''Xivu Arath''': [screams, pants, and chuckles]
| |
| *'''Drifter''': Last one. Long-girl should be home free.
| |
| *'''Zavala''': Excellent work, Guardian. Fireteam, check in.
| |
| *'''Sloane''': Down to a sword, but... Hive and Taken forces routed.
| |
| *'''Saint-14''': They will not run far. So many Titans; we encircle them like impenetrable walls, ha!
| |
| *'''Zavala''': Clear your zones, and fall back to defensive positions around Ahsa as she swims back to the Arcology.
| |
| *'''Lord Saladin''': Consider it done. War Beasts, you fought well. Extra rations for all.
| |
| *'''Sloane''': What's Ahsa's status?
| |
| *'''Drifter''': I've got an eye on her, and I'm shipping a transmat beacon your way. Hold onto your boots.
| |
| | |
| '''{Cutscene}'''
| |
| | |
| '''The Plunge, Dive Tank, New Pacific Arcology, Titan'''
| |
| | |
| ''The Guardian and Sloane—wielding her sword, Crown-Splitter—transmat back to the Plunge with Ahsa in safety.''
| |
| | |
| ''Zavala transmats soon after.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Zavala''': Xivu Arath’s forces are in full retreat.
| |
| *'''Sloane''': Good. Time to complete the mission.
| |
| ''Sloane steps up to the porthole in an attempt to commune with Ahsa.''
| |
| | |
| ''Xivu Arath stops Sloane, and begins to possess her partial Taken form.''
| |
| | |
| ''Xivu Arath speaks through Sloane.''
| |
| *'''Sloane''': OUR DANCE WILL NEVER END. I... AM... WAR!
| |
| ''In Sloane’s psyche, she shakily huddles herself in fear.''
| |
| *'''Sloane''': YOU CARRY MY BANNER. CLING TO ME LIKE HOPE. WHAT ARE YOU WITHOUT ME?
| |
| ''Sloane’s possessed body clutches her sword tighter.''
| |
| *'''Sloane''': SINK INTO MY EMBREACE. DROWN IN THE DEEP. FIGHT... FOREVER.
| |
| | |
| ''Zavala places a hand on Sloane’s shoulder.''
| |
| | |
| ''Sloane swats Zavala’s hand and swiftly draws the blade to his throat.''
| |
| *'''Zavala''': Stand down, Deputy. Sometimes the battle... is stepping away from the battle.
| |
| ''Sloane slowly regains control as Xivu Arath’s hold on her dissipates.''
| |
| *'''Zavala''': We’re with you, all the way.
| |
| ''Sloane drops her blade.''
| |
| *'''Sloane''': [gasping, heavy breathing]
| |
| ''Ahsa begins to speak through Sloane.''
| |
| *'''Sloane''': The true path lies obscured. But she knows the way. She who hides truth... in deception. The Witch Queen... must rise.
| |
| ''Sloane reels back exhausted.''
| |
| *'''Sloane''': [pants heavily]
| |
