The '''Almighty Crisis''' was a brief but potentially cataclysmic event between the [[Guardian]]s of the Last City and the desperate [[Cabal]] [[Red Legion]]. It was the concurrent conflict to [[Season of the Worthy]].

In the wake of countless losses at the hands of the Guardians, a [[Ozletc, the Sky Piercer|quartet]] [[Tazaroc, the Sun Eater|of]] [[Niruul, the Hollow Voice|Psion]] [[Amtec|Flayers]] from the Red Legion sought to harness [[Osiris]]'s [[The Sundial|Sundial]] in the hopes of altering time in which the outcome of the [[Red War]] was an absolute victory for the Legion and Empire. Despite weeks of continual battling the Guardians and even the fusion of three members of the quartet into [[Inotam, Oblivion's Triune]], the Flayer's and Legion's plans to subvert time were ultimately thwarted leaving the Legion further broken and lacking further leadership. Swearing revenge, the fourth, last and youngest of the remaining Psion Flayers, Amtec, established herself as the last remaining leader of the Red Legion in Sol. Wanting the complete obliteration of the Last City, she had the Legion board the Almighty and scuttle it, aiming it on a collision course with the Last City.

Realizing that the Last City does not have the ordnance to destroy or alter ''The Almighty's'' course, Ana suggests that their only hope was to gain the cooperation of the only entity that may have the power to save their home: Rasputin. Though Zavala remained adamant that the ancient Warmind cannot be trusted, noting its priorities have changed in the past, Ana believes they don't have a choice, which the Titan Vanguard reluctantly complies with. Relaying her plan to The Guardian, Ana suggests they speak with Rasputin directly at his core to plead their case with him. After driving back a Red Legion force with Rasputin's weaponized [[Frame]]s and speaking with Rasputin, the Warmind agrees to help the Guardians to find a way to stop ''The Almighty''.<ref>''' Bungie (2020/3/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Worthy]] - [[Missions]]: [[Into the Mindlab]]''</ref> To begin, Rasputin directs the Guardians to a hidden bunker within the [[EDZ]] and connect it with his system mainframe. Ana Bray and Zavala arrive at the bunker first and encounter a [[House of Dusk]] raiding party. As Zavala holds off the Dusk Fallen, Ana works on a terminal to make a connection with Rasputin but fortune arrives in the Guardian who manages to slay the raiding party leader and drives the rest of the Fallen away. As Ana gets closer to making a connection between the bunker's mainframe with Rasputin's, Zavala once again voices his distrust in the Warmind. Ana defends Rasputin, stating they are on the same side and that Zavala needs only faith. Zavala remains unconvinced but says that between her and Ana, he would put his faith in her. Once their discussion is over, Ana is successful in establishing a connection with Rasputin, restoring power to the Seraph Bunker and allowing Rasputin to develop weapons for the Guardians and activate Seraph Towers in the region.<ref>''' Bungie (2020/3/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Worthy]] - [[Missions]]: [[Boot Sector]]''</ref>

When [[The Fourth Horseman]] was stolen from the Vanguard vaults, the Guardian visited Ana to gain aid in tracking it down. She was shocked that someone had managed to break through the security of the vault, but based on the weapon she had one guess for who was responsible: the Cabal, as it was designed to be the ultimate Cabal slayer. She directed the Guardian to hunt down Cabal across Mars and gather data from them on recent Cabal activity. The data the Guardian collected worried Ana, as it pointed to the [[Shadows of Calus]] being involved in the theft. She suggested the Guardian hunt down Psions who were working as double agents for [[Emperor Calus]] within the Red Legion. It was later discovered the old co-conspirator and daughter to Calus, [[Caiatl, the Princess-Imperial]] was also involved in the Fourth Horseman's theft and had employed the use of Red Legionaires assasinating Shadows and storing the weapon in [[The Quarry]] Lost Sector. It would later be retrieved by the Guardian who fought through the stationed Cabal forces.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/3/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Worthy]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[In Rides A Pale Horse]]''</ref>

Despite the [[The Almighty|current situation]], Zavala decides to set up a colourful event of friendly competition in the form of the titular Guardian Games in an attempt to help alleviate the stress of these circumstances and keep morale steady. After speaking with Eva and [[Zavala]], Guardians will compete with each other not only to win prizes, such as new items, gear and weapons, but for the bragging rights to see which class of Guardian is the greatest, superior, and/or most favoured.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Bungie/status/1252597988460883970 '''@Bungie:''' ''"Bungie devs discuss what’s on the line for the inaugural Guardian Games."'']</ref> The event was met with both hope and distate by commoners, people, and Guardians alike due to the timing and nature of the event.
