Chapter 1

It was over, but it was far from over. The darkness is still here, hunting the light, and destroying what's left of it. Our victory in the black garden, and removing its heart regained our strength that was taken from us over a hundred years ago. Guardian numbers have been increased, the light has made us stronger that before, mission assignments have been more successful, and the traveler, completely healed but still scarred. Our second golden age might be arriving sooner than expected, but the war with the darkness is still rage's on. And I fear that whatever is out there, in the dark reaches of space, there is a great evil approaching. Even with our returned strength, we will not survive this encounter. However, the traveler has given me vision. Where our only hope lies on the three guardians, who gave us a fighting chance against the darkness.

I only hope we chose wisely...

Earth, The last city, Guardian tower.

"Well, that mission went successful."

"Of course it did! Nothing can stop fireteam shield!"

"It would've been smoothly if you weren't charging head on against the enemy, and you wouldn't need to be revived count less times."

Three figures were talking to each other about their last mission, as all three wore helmets and armor.

One was the figure of a woman, who wore robes with barely any armor that went down to her ankles. The second figure was man, who wore heavy armor from head to toe. The third figure was also a man, who wore light armor, and a cape with a hoodie.

"Come on guys, we don't need this now." Said the woman.

"Well Boss, if you keep Scout out of my hair we wouldn't have this argument!" Said the man.

"Ok that's it Ace, you want to do this now!" Shouted the third man.

"You bet I am! Let's see who's better, A Titan? Or a Hunter!"

"It's obvious that I could take you down since a Titan like you is all about strength! A Hunter like me is all about speed!"

"Guys" said Boss as she was trying to gain the attention of Ace and Scout.

"Bring it on Scout! This Titan will pummel you to the ground! "Shouted Ace as his fists was covered in electricity.

"Guys..."

"Oh I will, this Hunter will slice you into pieces!" Shouted Scout as he brought out a knife that was also covered into electricity. But before. Anything could happen

*whoosh*

"Gah!"

"Oof!"

Both men were pushed away several feet and saw who's responsible for pushing them.

It was Boss! Whose fist was glowing in a purple aura!

"Boss!?" Shouted both Ace and Scout.

"There, a Warlock such as myself was able to take down a Titan, and a Hunter. Now if both of you are done embarrassing yourselves, let's report to the vanguard shall we?" Said Boss as she gave the men a disappointed look under her helmet.

Not wanting to feel the Boss's punch again, both men agreed.

"Yeah, sound's good Boss." Said Ace.

"Yes, our apologies." Said Scout.

"Good, now let's go."

With that said the three Guardians left the area and reported their mission.

As they headed inside, three more figures were around the tables. And they seemed to be arguing.

"I'm just saying Zavala; we need to get back out there! Don't you remember when you, Ikora, and I were a fireteam together and we were the best? Ah, those were the days."

"For the last time Cayde, no! We have a responsibility here in the tower! No matter how many times you ask or beg, the answer is no!"

"Humph, such a grumpy old Titan you are!"

"Cayde, be nice. You know how much trouble you and Zavala always cause."

"Aw not you too Ikora! I remember when you were always ready to head out, you frequently told us to be prepared and not too reckless."

"True, but we all have to grow up some time."

"*Sigh*"

"*Ahem* Are we interrupting something?"

The three vanguards turned and saw fireteam shield standing there waiting to report.

"Uh, guardians!" Said Cayde. "Glad you made it! Welcome home, how the mission?"

"Uh, it was a mission success." Replied Boss. "We did the scans as we were assigned, and ran into the enemy as predicted."

"Good, that's good. Any trouble during the mission?"

"Other than Ace getting himself killed out there dozens of times, it went fine."

"Hey!"

"Ace!"

"*Gulp* Y-Yes commander Zavala?"

"How many times have I told you not to engage the enemy head on despite you being strong?"

Ace lowered his head.

"Many times commander."

"*Sigh* Do not let it get to you Ace, you are one of our best Titans in the field. And sometimes the best even fall, such as I was when young as you."

Heading these words gave Ace some hope that he wasn't the only one who makes mistakes frequently.

"Thank you commander."

"Back to business shall we?" Said Ikora. "You three have made tremendous work in the field, which made us proud and honored to have instructed you to the best of our knowledge and abilities."

"In other words you made us proud for kicking some serious darkness tail out there." Said Cayde.

"And not just in the field." Said Zavala. "You save countless lives and worlds from serious threats the darkness could throw at us."

Cayde spoke again.

"Such as the black garden, Atheon in the vault of glass, Skolas and his House of wolfs, finally, Crota and his minions. And you did a fine damn job getting rid of them."

"Thank you sirs and ma'am." Said Boss. "It is also an honor to serve the light and the vanguard."

"And I am proud to have you fighting for the light and its people."

The six guardians turned to see a figure covered in white robes, head to toe with a mask on.

"S-Speaker!"

Everyone in the room heard the name, turned and slightly bowed in respect.

"As you were, all of you."

Hearing those words everyone returned to work.

"Vanguard, guardians."

"Speaker," said Zavala in slight nervousness in his voice. "what do we owe the pleasure of this visit?"

"It is best if we discuss this conversation else where in private, follow me."

Speaker's research lab, tower.

Following the Speaker into his 'lab' the six guardians wondered what was he wanted speak to them.

Their questions were answered as the entered his lab.

"I know the six of you are wondering why I have brought you here to speak in private, it is because it is the most important discussion we must speak of."

"Then by all means speaker, lay it on us." Said Cayde.

The Speaker took a moment to think and said.

"I had a vision from the traveler, one so terrible that I fear a foe more dangerous than the ones before approaches."

This caused the guardians to worry, a foe more dangerous than the others? Who could it be?

Zavala spoke.

"What is this new enemy you speak of? Can you recall?"

"The vision wasn't clear, but I saw our current foes, being snatched by their will and turned into dangerous creatures. Almost as if they were...taken...I fear that with this new foe, we will not survive."

Ikora spoke next.

"Is there a way to prevent this from happening?"

"No, there is not. But there is another way. One that may be our survival, or a perhaps chance to fight back the enemy."

"And this is?"

"It is somewhere deep within the vault of glass."

"The vault of glass?!" Said Cayde. "I'm sorry Speaker, but there is nothing left in the vault! Nothing! All is left is scarp's of Vex, dirt, dust, and that big hole where Atheon came from that just falls to you're doom if you step inside it!"

"Then we need to look deeper in that vault." Said the Speaker.

"But who is capable of entering the vault once more?" Said Zavala.

"These three perhaps?"

The Speaker pointed towards fireteam shield.

"Us?" Said Ace as he pointed himself, Boss, and Scout.

The Speaker nodded.

"But Speaker," said Boss. "Cayde is right. There's nothing left, what else are we going to find in there."

"And with all respect," said Scout. "It was chaos in the vault. Anyone who entered inside nearly lost their lives, including us."

"Then all is lost," replied the Speaker. "if we don't take action, our foes will destroy us in one strike."

"But why us?" Said Boss. "What makes us so special than the rest of the guardians?"

"It is because the traveler has chosen you three to be our only hope, and lead us to victory. And, you three saved the traveler by destroying the heart of the black garden."

"Yeah," said Cayde. "not to mention you three were part of a raid team who also took down Atheon."

"Stopped Skolas, and the house of wolfs causing trouble across the system." Said Zavala.

"And Silenced Crota, along with his minions." Finished Ikora.

Boss and the others nodded in agreement as they did defeated the strongest enemies of the darkness.

Seeing no other choice, and an honor to be selected by the speaker and the traveler on this mission to save the city and perhaps defeat the darkness once and for all.

Looking at her allies and friends, and they nodded. Boss looked back at the speaker and the vanguard.

"Speaker, vanguard, we accept."

"Then you must head out immediately, and find what's inside that vault." Said speaker. "But before you do, ghost?"

Suddenly a small bright light appeared in front of the fireteam shield, and revealed a small robotic machine flying with a bright blue eye and white triangle plates surrounding it.

"Yes speaker?"

"Knowing it might be dangerous in that vault, perhaps a huge risk. I will grant you the ability to be become a beacon of light, meaning you will be the source of power for your guardians."

"I am honored, speaker."

With that said, the speaker brought out his hand towards ghost and filled him with the power of the light.

Not much changed the little machine, except for his eye glowed brighter than before.

Feeling a bit worried, Boss spoke to ghost.

"Ghost? Are you alright?"

"Hmmm, not much has changed really. Except I feel...better than before."

"Is that a good thing?" Said Ace.

"Yes," said Ghost." basically, the speaker made me into a mini portable traveler. Making you three to be able to use your abilities freely as you wish."

"You mean we have unlimited uses of our powers? I like this mission already." Said Scout.

"Alright team, we're wasting time." Boss interrupted. "This is the most important mission we've ever received; everyone is depending on us, so let's move out!"

"Yes Boss!" Shouted Ace and Scout.

Vault of glass entrance, Venus.

Seeing the entrance of the vault of glass gave the three guardians and ghost chills, the things they fought, the things they witnessed, it was horrible.

"Well, here are. Again." Said Ace.

"Thought we never come back." Said Boss.

"Let's just get this done with," said Scout. "the quicker were done here the faster we head home."

"Right!" Agreed Boss and Ace.

With the motivation of finishing the mission the three headed inside the vault.

Later inside the vault.

After quite sometime inside the vault of glass, which felt like hours, or perhaps days, Fireteam shield managed to find and enter Atheon's vault room.

"Well there's nothing here, let's go home!" Said Ace.

"Ace get back here." Said Scout. "This is no time to fool around!"

"Come on guys, focus!" Said Boss. "And watch your six; we don't know what left here. I want to go home much as you do. Ghost?"

"Yes?" Replied Ghost as he appeared from nowhere in a flash of light.

"Are you sure we can use our abilities freely much as we want?"

"Of course you can! Just be careful not to cause too much damage, and strain yourself. We don't want to embarrass ourselves by getting killed by your own attack."

"Thanks Ghost, now stay close. That goes for all of you; I don't want to lose anyone right now. So stay alive, got it?"

"Yes Boss!"

"Good, now search the area and report back to me."

Moments later.

"Anything?" Said Boss on the comms.

"Nope, just nothing but scraps of vex." Said Ace.

"Negative." Said Scout.

"*Sigh* What a waste of time, I guess the speaker's vision wasn't much of a vision."

"So what do we do Boss?" Asked Scout.

"Let's call it in, Ghost, get me with the tower."

"Got it, contacting the tower."

*Static*

"Boss? Boss is that you?" Asked Cayde.

"It's me ,Cayde. We're here at the vault, and there's nothing here."

"Really? That's not right; the speaker's vision said something about the vault."

"Well, whatever is its not here."

"Are you sure? Have you checked everywhere?"

"Positive."

"*Sigh* Alright, comeback home. We'll send a scouting party to search the place and discuss what happens next."

"Roger that heading home."

Ghost cut the connection as Ace and Scout walked towards Boss.

"What's the word?" Asked Ace.

"We head home, there's nothing left here."

"It's a shame that the speaker's vision was a waste." Said Scout.

"Yeah, but why here though. It's empty." Replied Ace.

"I don't know," said Boss. "Let's just head home and ask the Speaker himself. I'm sure he will know something."

*Roar*

Hearing that familiar sound made the three guardians worry.

"Uh Ghost?" Said Ace. "Was that you?"

"No, that wasn't me."

"Scout?"

"Does it look like I make that kind of sound!?"

"Weapons ready!" Shouted Boss. "I having a feeling we're going to be surrounded in no time."

Vanguard hall, Tower.

"It's just as I said earlier, there's nothing there and I was right!" Said Cayde.

"How is that possible?" Said Zavala. "The Speaker's vision said there is something in that vault!"

"Maybe he accidentally smelled something in that lab of his?"

"Cayde!"

"What? I'm just sayin! It is a lab after all!"

"Accurate or not, at least we looked." Ikora interrupted. "When fireteam shield returns, we will speak with the Speaker and-"

*Beep*Beep*Beep*

Cayde's Ghost, Scope, appeared next to him and said.

"In coming transmission, from fireteam shield."

"Patch it though."

*Static*

"This is the vanguard, come in shield?"

*Ratatata*

*Pow*Pow*Pow*

*Bang*Bang*

*Roar*

"Fireteam shield, Come in! This Cayde! Do you read?"

"Cayde?"

*Boom*

"Damn it! Ace! Scout! Cover me!"

"Got it!"

"Roger!"

"Cayde, this is Boss! We're under attack by vex! I repeat! We're under attack! We back up now!"

"Vex?! How the hell...Stay put! We'll send help! I repeat, back up is on the way!"

"It better be, because we-"

*Stomp*Stomp*

"By the traveler's light..."

"No..."

"That's Impossible..."

*Rooooooar*

*Static*

"..."

"We lost the connection." Said Scope.

Those words placed fear into the hearts of the three vanguards, and made them speechless.
