Clash of the Chosen: Difference between revisions

==History==

===Failed Negotiations===

In the aftermath of the [[Fall of Torobatl|fall]] of the [[Cabal]]'s homeworld and capital [[Torobatl]], [[Empress Caiatl]] sought to gather the full remaining strength of the Cabal Empire by reclaiming the [[Red Legion]] from the [[Sol System]]. She also sought to bring [[Humanity]] and its [[Guardian]]s into the Cabal Empire as full citizens to combine their strength against the [[Hive]] and [[Darkness]]. Commander [[Zavala]] and his advisor [[Osiris]] met with the Empress to discuss terms, but refused to bow before her. Zavala subsequently ordered a strike against [[Commander Dracus]], a war criminal who aspired to become part of Caiatl's [[War Council]], on [[Nessus]] near a recently deployed [[Imperial Land Tank]] ''[[Halphas Electus]]'' in order to secure information on what the Cabal's plans were.<ref name="BB">'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Battlegrounds]]: [[Behemoth (Battleground)|Behemoth]]''</ref>

===The Golem's Ambitions===

[[Basilius the Golem]] would desire to join caital's war council. Seeking to learn the secrets of the [[Deep Stone Crypt]], he and his soldiers would begin to claim ground from the [[Vex]] in the hope of finding it. Their efforts were fruitless, however, as they found no sign of the crypt. Basilius would continue hunting for information on exominds, however The Guardian arrived and challenged him in a Rite of Proving. Despite his Cabal reinforcements and his powerful weaponry, he would be slain by the guardians.

===Psion Conspiracy===

[[Ixel, the Far-Reaching]] was the next to try and join caital's war council. She and a [[Yirix|conspiracy]] of [[Psion|psions]] would seize a Vex prediction engine and begin using it's oracle-like powers. However, The Guardian interupted them and Yirix was forced to destroy the machine to cover their tracks. Ixel then fought the guardians in a Rite of Proving, but, despite her psionic abilities and her cabal warship's missiles, she was slain by The Guardian.

===The Final Proving===

After all the Rites of Proving were complete, Commander Zavala challenged Caital to one last battle. The Guardian was sent to fight [[Ignovun, Chosen of Caiatl]], and the winner's rule would determine the outcome of the Clash of the Chosen. After fighting through cabal outside the [[Halphas Electus]], The guardian breached the inside. Fighting through the vehicle bay, the guardians disabled the tank's systems using power cores. After this, they finally arrived at Ignovun's arena. Despite his psionic powers, he too fell to the guardians leading Caital to honor her word and begin negotiations with the vanguard concerning an alliance.
