At the | At the beginning of ''[[Destiny 2]]'', the Guardian returned to the [[Last City]] only to immediately face its invasion by the [[Red Legion]]. After confronting [[Dominus Ghaul]], however, they were severely crippled, due to being stripped of the Light, and forced to retreat. After much sacrifice and determination, the Guardians succeeded in liberating their home, driving the Red Legion away, and awakening [[the Traveler]] from its centuries-long slumber, destroying Ghaul forever and restoring their Light-given powers. Despite this momentous victory, various figures of the Red Legion would attempt to carry on the [[Red War]], either for their own purposes or to finish what Ghaul had started in his attempt to destroy the Guardians. Despite the presence of these new foes, in addition to several threats apart from the Red Legion, the Guardians maintained their strength and zeal.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard'' | ||

Ghost then led the Guardian into The Wall and helped them find their first weapon—a battered, ancient [[Khvostov 7G-02]]. After foraging for more gear, the Guardian killed a Fallen [[House of Devils|Devil]] [[Captain]] named [[Rahn]] and escaped in an [[Arcadia]]-class [[jumpship]] repaired by Ghost, just as [[Riksis]] emerged.

The Guardian | The Guardian became acquainted with the various [[Tower]] residents, including the three [[Vanguard]] leaders, the [[Gunsmith]], [[Master Rahool]] and the [[Xander 99-40|Bounty Tracker]], as well as the [[Postmaster]] and Tower [[Shipwright]], who helped repair their ship. During the tour, they visited other Tower residents of lesser importance, as well, including the three [[Faction]] leaders and [[Tess Everis]]. | ||
Afterward the Guardian | Afterward, the Guardian returned to the Cosmodrome to find a [[Warp Drive]]. They located a downed Guardian's ship and learn the likely location of an existing drive. After battling and killing Riksis, they acquired the drive and returned to the Tower to have it installed. Later that night, as the Guardian looked up at the Traveler, they met the [[Speaker]], who had been with the City since its foundation.<ref>[https://youtu.be/FRtKM64cKdM?t=1m4s '''YouTube''' - ''Destiny 2 - Zavala Cinematic Story Trailer'']</ref> The Speaker answered some unasked questions, namely what Ghosts are, and gave a brief summary of the Traveler's history with [[humanity]]. He then confided in the Guardian his deepest fears: that the [[Darkness]] was returning, and that humanity wouldn't be able to survive it this time. | ||
Upon hearing this, the Guardian asked what they could do to help, and the Speaker encouraged them to join those already fighting to defend Earth until the Traveler could be awoken, adding wryly that he hoped Ghost chose his Guardian prudently, a comment the robot answered emphatically in the affirmative.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Restoration]]''</ref> | |||
Returning to the Cosmodrome at the request of the Speaker, the Guardian | Returning to the Cosmodrome at the request of the Speaker, the Guardian headed to the old [[Skywatch]]—a complex that once maintained communications with Earth's former colonies—and found the Fallen in an uproar. Pressing deeper into the [[Lunar Complex]], the Guardian discovers another race of enemy: the [[Hive]]. After eliminating all of Hive they encountered, including a [[Wizard]] named [[Gotra]], Ghost recalled that the Hive had not been seen on Earth for centuries, thus surmising that their presence there now may herald another invasion.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Dark Within]]''</ref> | ||

Shortly thereafter the Vanguard | Shortly thereafter the Vanguard reported an upsurge in Fallen activity all over the Cosmodrome. Connecting to the vehicle grid, the Guardian made their way to the [[Forgotten Shore]] riding their [[Sparrow]], and found a Fallen amplifier. After searching for a second one, Ghost discovered that both were linked to the Skywatch, and they made their way to the next. Finding a Fallen encampment inside the [[Terrestrial Complex]], they defeated the aliens and Ghost hacked into one of their machines. Upon doing so, he encountered some resistance from an unknown entity, and investigated further while the Guardian defended him against the Fallen forces. | ||
After Ghost | After Ghost retrieved the necessary data they destroyed the machine, and Ghost reported the existence of an ancient [[Warmind]], [[Rasputin]], who somehow survived the Collapse and was defending something later revealed to be the [[Planetary Defense Network|Terrestrial Array]] within the Cosmodrome.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Warmind]]''</ref> | ||

As the | As the Guardian again battled the oncoming Hive, including a [[Knight#Types|Hallowed Knight]], a satellite dish began pivoting skyward in the distance. Once the battle was over, Ghost reported that Rasputin took control of the array and was expanding his reach towards various constructs throughout the solar system.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Last Array]]''</ref> | ||

Locating the Lair beneath a [[The Devils' Lair (location)|colony ship]], the Guardian killed a [[Baron]] named [[Naksis]] and destroyed a [[Fallen Walker]] barring their way, then battled Sepiks. After a fierce fight the machine was finally destroyed, ending the Devils' threat.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Devils' Lair (strike)]]''</ref> | ||

Reporting back to Ikora, the Guardian is directed back to Savathuns Throne World, where Ikoras Hidden have found a place where Sagira could be used. Fighting their way through the Scorn and destroying the interference from pyramid shards, they eventually reach a mirror looking object, known as the altar of echoes.

Returning to Fynch, the Hive Ghost informs the Guardian of another potential lead, located in the [[Temple of the Navigator]], a temple dedicated to Oryx himself.

However, the Guardian gets what they came for, a piece of the original Tablets of Ruin. As the Guardian makes their way back to the altar of echoes, they find that they must now complete a puzzle in order to gain access the altar. Completing the puzzle and slaying the Lucent Archivists, they view the next memory, in which Savathun states that when she obtained the tablet, she learned that her brother Oryx had described in them the ability to create the Taken, however, as she read in between the lines of her brothers words, she realized that the tablets were a riddle, the answer to which was something greater than the ability to Take, it was the power of the Witness, the power to move worlds. She said that she would grant the Traveler a safe haven in her throne world, and seal it away from the Witness. | ||
After making this discovery, the Guardian receives another tip from Fynch, albeit slightly less reliable. He tells of another temple dedicated to Savathun before she became a hive goddess, the temple of the cunning. Although Ikora is unsure of sending the guardian , she nonetheless decides that it’s their only lead. Going through a secret tunnel, the Guardian arrives at the temple, seeing a whole slew of Scorn that had already beaten them there. Once they killed all the Scorn, the Guardian arrives at a statue of Sathona holding her stone worm familiar. Seeing no object, the Guardian realizes that the object was the worm familiar, although almost dead from no sustenance. As the Guardian grabs it, a powerful [[Ahamkara Illusion]] arrives to protect the worm familiar from being taken. Killing the illusion, it unleashes one last curse, suffocating the guardian slowly, forcing the Guardian to quickly run out of the temple. Once out, Ikora expresses shame and regret for sending in the guardian on shaky intel, but is grateful that they retrieved another lead. As the Guardian heads to the altar again, they realize that they cannot access the altar anymore with the worm familiar, being thrown back from the portal. Talking to Ikora in order to find out their next move, Ikora is told by Eris Morn that a [[Mara Sov|trusted source]] has told her of one more artifact located in Savathuns Palace that could tell the Vanguard how Savathun took the Light. | After making this discovery, the Guardian receives another tip from Fynch, albeit slightly less reliable.

After the defeat of Savathun, it was discovered that her Lightbearing Hive had spread to other worlds, such as the EDZ, Cosmodrome, and the Moon, and slaughtering Guardians to harvest their Light. In order to discover what was going on, Empress Caiatl and the Vanguard formed a group called the Coalition, dedicated to working together against the Darkness and any other threats. The Empress, in order to help the Guardian find out what the Lucent Hive were planning and doing, gifted them the [[Synaptic Spear]], a weapon capable of severing the Lucent Hive’s connection to the Light, allowing them to be captured alive and taken into the HELM, and allowing Caiatls most trusted Psion to plug into their minds via a machine and uncover what their plans were. Crow was against the idea of this, as he believed that we were stooping down to our enemies levels and wanted to find another way. Despite his objections, he continued to help the Guardian by doing recon. | |||
After capturing a Lightbearing Knight and Wizard and delving into their minds, its discovered that the Lucent Hive are attempting a ritual in the Scarlet Keep using the stolen Light to manifest Savathuns Throne World and launch a massive attack. The Guardian is sent to stop this ritual and manages to succeed before the Throne World is manifested. Unfortunately Crow, who was originally supposed to be recon on the Guardians mission, had instead snuck into the HELM in order to shut down the machine now that the Lucent Hives plan had been stopped. As he unplugged the Psion from the machine, disaster struck, and the machine, instead of shutting down, began to reverse itself, sending a massive amount of energy into the Psion and causing his retina to burst, killing him after an agonizing amount of pain. | |||
When Caiatl found out, she demanded that the blood debt of her Psion be settled, but Commander Zavala was prepared to shatter their alliance in order to protect Crow. Just as the situation was going to reach peak tension, Saladin steps in, and offers his life in place of Crows. Caiatl respects this and instead of killing either of them, inducts Saladin into her War Council, settling the blood debt. Saladin leaves Crow a message about learning to deal with the guilt of his past, and leaves him his Iron Axe. | |||
Meanwhile, onboard Caiatls ship, Saladin is challenged by a Valus who believes that Saladin isn’t worthy of his position, and challenges him to a Rite of Proving. Saladin reluctantly agrees, and as the two begin to choose their weapons, he notices his Iron Battle Axe, and glares at Caiatl for taking it without permission. The Rite begins, and the two fight ferociously. After a long and grueling fight, Saladin wins, and per the rules of the Rite of Proving, is promoted to Valus, earning him the respect of the other Cabal. Once he begins to train the Cabals soldiers, he decides to call his Cabal men his “Iron War Beasts.”, and is even allowed to come to the tower to continue to host the Iron Banner, as it intrigues Caiatl. | |||
