Due to his disillusionment with the Traveler, Zavala would decide to leave the camp alone with the intention of discovering a way to destroy the Witness by giving himself to Darkness. Before departing, he would tell Targe that he was going for a walk and would order his Ghost to ensure their fireteam's safety. Following the whispers of the dissenting voices within the Witness, Zavala eventually finds himself at a pool of Darkness serving as the entrance into a shrine, where he hears the voice of a dissenter pleading for help. However, Zavala is then slowly approached by Ikora, Cayde, and Targe who plead for him to not enter the shrine. Despite the presence of his friends, Zavala enters into the pool of Darkness, resulting in Ikora screaming his name. Upon entering, Zavala finds himself within a dark room where he hears the voice of the Witness as it shows him a vision of the Precursors civilization. The Witness would proclaim that the Traveler also failed to provide the Precursors with a purpose within this universe just like it had done with the people of humanity. Meanwhile, Zavala would be approached by a Precursor as a dissenter would refute the Witness's fabrication, revealing that they had chosen to run from the Traveler's answer. The vision would then change as the Witness would show the Titan Vanguard the Precursors discovery of the Veil, the Traveler's abandonment of their world, and finally how they used the power of the Darkness to create the Witness. As the Precursors would begin to collapse onto the ground, a dissenter would whisper to Zavala that "what was made can be unmade" and orders him to travel towards the ritual site where the Witness was created. Emerging from a cloud of smoke, the Witness would then offer Zavala an opportunity to join its cause, however they would be interrupted by Targe, who would proclaim to the Witness that it is afraid. Snatching Targe in its hand as Zavala cried out in concern for his Ghost's safety, the Witness would declare that it had culled away fear altogether. However, Targe would remain persistent, resulting in the Witness crushing him for his defiance, sending out an outburst of Light in the process that propels Zavala away and allows his fireteam to pull him out of the pool of Darkness.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[Dissent]]''</ref> | Due to his disillusionment with the Traveler, Zavala would decide to leave the camp alone with the intention of discovering a way to destroy the Witness by giving himself to Darkness.

With his newfound mortality, Zavala would be left devastated at the death of Targe, blaming himself for his Ghost's death. His fireteam would confront him, reminding him that it was Targe's decision to sacrifice his own life to save his in return. Although he would originally believe that he had given up his Light for nothing, Zavala and his allies would remember that the dissenter's had revealed that the Witness could be unmade at the memory of the ritual site where it was created. Reclaiming his hope, Zavala would reveal to his friends that he could guide them to the ritual site with their assistance. Travelling towards the location, Zavala alongside Ikora, Cayde, and Crow would fight through Hive forces while the Guardian would be tasked with infiltrating the ritual site. <ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[Dissent]]''</ref> | With his newfound mortality, Zavala would be left devastated at the death of Targe, blaming himself for his Ghost's death.

Travelling towards the location, Zavala alongside Ikora, Cayde, and Crow would fight through Hive forces while the Guardian would be tasked with infiltrating the ritual site. Furthermore, Zavala and his allies are greeted by Mara as she had arrived within the Pale Heart alongside the rest of the Coalition. Reaching the top of the ritual site, the Guardian gives themselves to Darkness to destroy the statues containing the Precursors within the Witness's consciousness. Eventually Zavala alongside his allies arrive at the top of the ritual site as the Guardian and their Ghost are forced to retreat after being cut out of the Witness's collective. Meanwhile as Zavala and his comrades killed the remainder enemy forces, the Witness manifests itself as it proclaims that it had hoped they would understand, but they had chosen entropy. With the Witness using it’s power to hold the H.E.L.M. in place, Zavala and his fireteam would retreat as the Witness would ruthlessly chase them. Although Zavala would be wounded after being struck by a piece of wall propelled by him by the Witness, he would be assisted to the entrance by Ikora as him and his allies would be transmatted onto the H.E.L.M., evading the Witness's wrath.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[Dissent]]''</ref> | ||
Sometime later, Ikora would speak with Zavala at the radio, revealing that Cayde intended on returning to the Hunter Vanguard, but instead recommended Crow for the position. Zavala would agree that Crow was ready for the position as he was a different person than he was as Uldren. Despite his once renowned destain for the Darkness, Zavala would ask Ikora if she could teach him how to wield [[Stasis]]. | |||
