==Prelude== | ==Prelude== | ||
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.

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> | ||
Later on, Ana travels to [[Luna]] to reactivate the Seraph Bunker there but encounters heavy Hive resistance. Fortunately, she holds the Hive off long enough for the Guardian to arrive and provide backup, allowing her to finish them off with a [[Gunslinger#Way_of_a_Thousand_Cuts|Blade Barrage]]. With the Hive eliminated, Ana works on connecting the bunker to Rasputin as the Guardian stood watch. As she worked, Ana discussed how she knew many other Guardians talked behind her back and accused her of selfishly being a Bray first and Guardian second. She revealed that the work she was doing away from the City with Rasputin was not just about uncovering her past, but searching for useful technologies from the Golden Age, including medicine, construction materials, disease-resistant crops, and even the [[Deep Stone Crypt]], all for the benefit of humanity. However, Ana admitted that this was done under the assumption that Zavala and the Vanguard would not need her help and that she now realized there was more she could have done. As she finished connecting Rasputin to the bunker, Ana [[Transmat|transmatted]] out of the bunker and returned to Mars.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/3/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Worthy]] - [[Missions]]: [[Lunar Connection]]''</ref> | Later on, Ana travels to [[Luna]] to reactivate the Seraph Bunker there but encounters heavy Hive resistance.

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.

Mere days before the Almighty was slated to crash into the Last City, Rasputin began bombarding the Almighty using the satellites that Guardians had assisted in rearming during the prior months. This barrage of weapons fire continued for a full hour where they continued pelting the shield of the superweapon, until the Almighty finally began to break up and explode once its core was struck in a spectacular fashion, crashing into the side of a mountain outside the City, unleashing a large shockwave, and ending the legacy of the superweapon. Despite this, its wings still hung in the orbit of Earth for a few more hours until falling where debris continues to rain down. Its debris struck the Tower causing some minor damage towards the back end of the [[Eververse]] shop. The Tower was unscathed without considering the minor hits it took | Mere days before the Almighty was slated to crash into the Last City, Rasputin began bombarding the Almighty using the satellites that Guardians had assisted in rearming during the prior months.

Despite Amtec's efforts, her scheme ended in a blazing wreck that left her vengeance unfulfilled and the Red Legion completely weakened and lost. However, it is unconfirmed if Amtec died in the Almighty's explosion or remains alive. In the wake of the Almighty falling, the Legion entered an even more drastic state of desperation and in time began to be rallied by Caiatl. It is unknown if Amtec, due to her unconfirmed death, leads the remains of the Legion. | Despite Amtec's efforts, her scheme ended in a blazing wreck that left her vengeance unfulfilled and the Red Legion completely weakened and lost.
