Editing Forum:Fusion

{{Quote|For years, the world had been bound by aspects of a failed past, full of lies that the Traveler brought upon this universe. But, we knew the truth. In Light, there was only weakness. Only failure. Only subjugation. Only death. But where the Light took, the Dark gives. No longer will we be pawns of the Light's lies. No longer will we stand by and let those monsters and so-called heroes abuse our people. No longer will we watch the lives of those we care for be lost. In Darkness, there is only strength. Only power. Only victory. Only freedom. Only life. And we shall rise forever!|[[Forum:Kirito|Kirito]], bestowing the powers of Fusion upon his forces of Darkness.}}

Some time after [[Forum:Kirito|Kirito]] and [[Forum:Asuna|Asuna]] rose to power with the emergence of the [[Pyramids]] and the arrivals of the [[Forum:Shadowkeepers (Paradox)|Shadowkeepers]] and their dark armies respectively known as the [[Forum:Shadowkeepers (Paradox)#Shadow Army|Shadow Army]] and [[Forum:Shadowkeepers (Paradox)#Ghosts of Nagasaki|Ghosts of Nagasaki]] during the [[Forum:Shadowkeeper Apocalypse|Shadowkeeper Apocalypse]], [[The Guardian]] would venture into [[Mars]] and establish an alliance with [[User:Koriks, Kell of Flame|Koriks]] and his [[Fallen]] [[Forum:House of Flame|House of Flame]] before traveling to the [[Shard of the Traveler]]'s resting place and acquiring the power of Fusion in order to avenge [[Zavala]]'s death and save Mal, the daughter of Hendrick Yor and Kaguya Narusaka and a Villain Kid who also wields this power. But, unbeknownst to them and the [[Vanguard]], Kirito and Asuna, along with the Shadowkeepers, the Shadow Army elites, and their eldest son [[Forum:Tatsuyi Kirigaya, Vibebreaker of Shadows|Tatsuyi]] and his accomplices, including [[Forum:Kamrak, the Titan|Kamrak]], [[Forum:Lilthis, the Daemon|Lilthis]], [[Forum:Tyranaks, the Overlord|Tyranaks]], and the other members of the Shadow Collective, would also wield the powers of Fusion within the heart of the [[Dreaming City]] on the [[Reef]], gaining the attention of [[Mara Sov]], [[Petra Venj]], and the [[Techeun]]s, who were hellbent on avenging the deaths of their people, and [[Forum:Rudol von Stroheim|Rudol von Stroheim]], who sought to prevent these powers from falling into the wrong hands. As the Guardian found new allies, including [[User:Kirito Beater3|Nagihiko]], [[Forum:Ventharok|Ventharok]], and [[Forum:AJ, the Relentless|AJ]], they would later stop the Shadowkeepers from corrupting the entire universe with Darkness and save Mal, restoring the multiverse, forming the [[Forum:Solar Coalition|Solar Coalition]], and ushering in a new [[Golden Age]] in the process.

{{Quote|Those Machina were already bad enough. And now not only do they got their hands on both Light and Darkness, they've already gotten the hang of it too. We've lost too many good people to those Vex ripoffs. It's time we start pushing back.|[[UserWiki:Vothriks, the Lost|Vothriks, the Lost]]}}

During the incursion of the Machina during the [[Forum:Battle of Verses|Battle of Verses]], the Prime Unit, [[Forum:Kereznis, Light-Seeker|Kereznis]], was dispatched to study the [[Paracausality|Paracausal]] powers of Light and Darkness. A team of Guardians was sent to [[Europa]] to halt Kereznis' research, and would discover that the Prime Unit was experimenting with Fusion and empowering their soldiers with it. Kereznis themself would be neutralized, although not before they had sent what they had uncovered of their studies of Light and Darkness, as well as Fusion, and soon enough the Machina would be deploying powerful soldiers all across the system armed with Fusion, forcing Guardians to continuously suppress their efforts.

''Lore: A [[Knight]] of the [[Hive]] begins his search, stalking for any wandering [[Light]] to consume to satisfy his [[Worm]]'s Hunger. He sees two [[Guardian]]s and raises his blade, charging at his foes. The Guardians see the Knight and fight it off, but its power is beyond what they believe. One Guardian falls to the ground. The Knight sees his incapacitated prey and swings his blade at them, but the other screams and hears something beckoning it... something like a whisper. Time stops...next thing: the Knight has been chained by fires of unknown and the almost-lost Guardian looks to his friend, who was empowered by unknown energies. He then pulls an arrow and pierces the Knight's helmet. It was over... the Darkness of the Night has been destroyed by another Dark...unknown to anyone in this world...''

Incendiary siege engines of war, Stormwaker Titans hammer and shatter their enemy's ranks from afar, raining electric waves of cleansing fire down upon fortified defensive positions.
