3 years after the death of Cayde-6 and the Guardian that avenged him vanishing, the Last City on Earth has been peaceful. It's like the Guardian is still hard at work even though no one knows where he went. Commander Zavala (Titan) looked around the area saying, "The Guardian still isn't here."
Ikora Rey (Warlock) answered, "I'm afraid not. He hasn't been seen since he avenged Cayde."
Lord Shaxx said, "Well, I don't blame him. Cayde was important to us all. And there is no reincarnation for him."
Zavala said, "That is right. His Ghost died before he was shot."
Ikora said, "We need a way to save all of our people. With Mara Sov still missing."
Lord Shaxx heard that and then said, "She's not entirely missing. She's in hiding because of some new threat."
Zavala asked, "How do you know that?"
Lord Shaxx answered, "She contacted me yesterday night saying that a new threat is headed our way. And headed our way fast."
Ikora asked, "Why didn't you say anything yesterday?"
Lord Shaxx answered, "I was awoken by her call to me. Meaning that I was asleep when she called."
Ikora said, "Then we would have been asleep as well."
Lord Shaxx said, "Exactly."
Suraya Hawthorne said, "Well, I don't think that we should be..."
Zavala asked, "What's the matter, Hawthorne?"
Suraya pointed at the window and then they turned their heads toward the window and saw ships appear out of nowhere and Lord Shaxx said, "She wasn't lying."
Zavala yelled, "Battle stations."
As soon as he said that, the enemy started to appear within the Tower and the City shooting everything that they see. Lord Shaxx looked at them and said, "They are Fallen."
Ikora said, "Such force."
Zavala said, "They aren't normal Fallen. They are Space Pirates."
Suraya started sniping from the window and said, "Well, let's fight back to protect our last city. And the Traveler."
The leader of the Space Pirates group looked at them and then the Command Ship arrived out of nowhere and Zavala saw that and the leader was standing on top of it. The leader spoke in a different language that the Vanguard wasn't used to and Lord Shaxx said, "I never heard the Fallen speak like that."
A Fallen Vandal aimed its Wire Rifle at Hawthorne and Hawthorne aimed it at the leader and the leader spoke again and the Vandal shot Hawthorne in the head and she collapsed. Zavala saw that and said, "Hawthorne."
Lord Shaxx slid over to her and saw that she had a hole in her head saying, "She's dead."
Ikora said, "Shit."
Devrim Kay said, "They got snipers on board their ships. And it seems like the Command Ship just appeared."
The Vandals and Dregs continued shooting at them and Zavala's Ghost said, "They are known as the End of Days. They are a faction of Space Pirates that take whatever they want. Led by Ykralzaks, Space God. An Ancient. It's a race of Fallen that hasn't been seen here on Earth since the beginning of their assault on our planet."
Ikora asked, "How strong are they?"
Zavala's Ghost answered, "According to what we have from our ancestors, Ancients are the strongest type of Fallen within the universe. And not even our ancestors could beat them alone."
Lord Shaxx said, "Well, we're not alone."
Ykralzaks spoke again in their language and started aiming for the Guardians Ghosts which were inside of the Guardians themselves. Zavala grunted and then their Ghosts started to short out slowly and Zavala said, "Don't you dare die on me."
Lord Shaxx whispered, "At least if we die, there will only be one Guardian left."
Zavala said, "We aren't dying here."
Ykralzaks flew over to the Tower and then Lord Shaxx started swinging his sword at the Fallen after running out of ammo in his rifle. The Fallen were screaming and then Ikora said, "The Ghosts are no longer responding."
Lord Shaxx said, "Our Light is disappearing."
Zavala grunted and then Ykralzaks busted through the window and Ykralzaks looked at them. As soon as the Guardians turned around they saw Ykralzaks flying. Lord Shaxx said, "It flies." Ykralzaks looked at them and then said in a English, "You are very fragile beings."
Zavala said, "You speak our language as well as yours."
Ykralzaks answered, "Yes. I learnt it at a faraway place. But this is the end of your people."
Zavala heard that and then Ikora said, "We won't go down without a fight."
Ykralzaks answered, "It's already over."
Banshee-44 said, "Sir, you need to look outside."
Ykralzaks smiled and then they walked over to the window and saw that the City was full of Fallen and said, "My god. There are thousands of them out there."
Ykralzaks said, "I have an army of over 600 million Fallen. This City fell in seconds. We know how to kill you and your people. You have something called a Ghost. That Ghost grants you immortality. Along with Superpowers given to you by the Traveler. Without the Ghost, you are just like us. Mortal."
Zavala asked, "How do you know that?"
Ikora answered, "You visited other worlds with Travelers and killed them."
Ykralzaks said, "Exactly."
Lord Shaxx said, "Well, this isn't looking good for us."
Zavala said, "Shaxx, you're right."
Ykralzaks roared loudly and then bullets flew into their heads and Ykralzaks spoke in his own language again and they started raiding the city for supplies. After 6 hours of taking their things, they left the area. Mara saw that and then said, "I hope that they got out on time."
