During the Guardians mission to reach the [[Black Garden]], the Guardians had to charge a Gate Lord's eye to unlock the gateway. Traveling to Mars, the Guardians breached into the [[Conflux]] to power the eye but encounter regiments of the Blind Legion, a cabal army tasked with capturing and holding Vex artifacts. Despite the Cabal's efforts, the Guardians were able to reach the main site of the Conflux and begin to charge the eye but are then confronted by the Blind Legion's commander, [[Primus Sha'aull]]. After a heated battle and despite the Primus' efforts, the Guardians were able to charge the eye and kill Sha'aull. With the eye fully charged, the Guardians were able to reach the Black Garden. | |||
At a later date, the Vanguard received a message from the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]], warning them that a trio of [[Psion Flayers]], called the [[Ice Reapers]], are attempting to hack its mainframe on Mars, after the Warmind used Warsats to bombard Cabal troops. Wanting to prevent the Cabal from hacking into the Warmind's data and weapon systems, the Guardians form a strike team and battle with the Cabal through the [[Dust Palace]] in Freehold. Reaching to the Flayer's position, the Guardians combat the elite Psions and their guard but despite their power, they succeeded in slaying the Psions, saving Rasputin. | |||
Wishing to take the fight to the Cabal, the Vanguard saw an opportunity to strike a blow against the Cabal when [[Valus Ta'aurc]], the infamous commander of the [[Siege Dancers]], was seen in his Land Tank, [[Cerberus Vae III]], stationed in the Valley of Kings. Forming a strike team and managing to breach past the Cabal's defenses, the Guardians were able to enter the Land Tank and confront Valus Ta'aurc. After a struggle, the Guardians succeeded in slaying the Valus, dealing a critical blow to the Siege Dancers and Cabal leadership on Mars. | |||
