Authors Note: Hey guys I`m back with another chapter of Second Chances Don't Come Often. So, ten views, since I reuploaded, Thanks guys. Anyway, I`m going to be uploading every other Friday now, just so I have enough time to edit and write. The only reason why chapters 1 and 2 were upload at the same time is there were both the same chapter, and I already had them uploaded. In other news I`m accepting OCs the only thing is they can't have beaten any Raid, any weapons that you get from it, and Exotics that you can only have one of such as Thorn, Last Word, etc. Please follow in game rules such as only one exotic in each column. Remember feedback is appreciated.

Michael woke up to bright lights, a dry throat, and various machines connected to him monitoring his pulse, heartbeat, and whatever else was being monitored.

"Where, where am I?" thought Michael as he continued to look around the bright, white room, to see his armor in a corner, and a ray of sunshine flooding the room. Giving the appearance, that the room was in Heaven. Then out of nowhere, the Ghost appeared.

"Good, you're awake!" Gladfully said the Ghost, "the Vanguard requests your presence once the Doctors give you the clear."

"I must be in the Hospital." Michael said to himself in his head as he turned to look at his Ghost. "What's the Vanguard, and why do they request my presence?" asked the confused Michael.

"The Vanguard are the commanders of all Guardians. They are responsible for mentoring new Guardians, keeping the Last City safe, and assaulting enemy strongholds out in the Wild." said the Ghost as it bobbed up and down, looking at Michael.

"So, the Vanguard is like the Government then?" Michael asked.

"No," bluntly said the Ghost.

"Then-" started Michael but was interrupted by the Ghost, before Michael could really start.

"Hold onto that thought. I`ll get you a Data Pad after meeting with the Vanguard, so you can catch yourself up on what has happened since the Collapse." There was a knock on the door THUMP, THUMP, THUMP.

"Come in, please." Michael said, as the Ghost disappeared. The door opened to reveal a short black man in a white lab coat, holding a data pad on his left side. The man in the lab coat, walked over to the right side of Michael, and started to talk to Michael.

"Hello, Mr. Michael, I`m Doctor Anker and I've been watching over you for the past couple of days. You have a couple of stitches due to the Solar Energy that was put into you." the doctor, then pulled a white bottle, from his right lab coat pocket. "Now take a half of gram of these pills, three times a day, and in three weeks come back to get the stitches removed."

"Got it Doc." Michael said as he took the pills from Anker's hand.

"Now, let's get you out of here." said the Doctor while smiling, "the Vanguard has been up my butt, on releasing you."

"Yeah, I heard." chuckled Michael.

"Now all you have to do is sign, here that you were given the pills." Anker said, while turning his data pad towards Michael, handing him a pen to sign with. Michael took the pen and signed at the bottom. "Good," said the Doctor, "now let's get these machines off of you." Dr. Anker started to disconnect Michael from the machines and turn them off, "remember, no heavy movement, the stitches will tear if you move around a lot."

"Understood Doc!" Michael said happily as the last machine was disconnected from him.

"Good, I hope I don't see you for a little while Guardian." Anker said as he walked away to care for another Patient.

Michael talked, to what seemed like the air, "Ghost where to next?" The Ghost appeared next to Michael's head. "The Hall of Guardians. I`ll direct you there, when you get out of the Hospital." Michael got out of the Hospital bed, put on his armor, left his hospital gown on the bed, and walked out of his room and to the entrance of the Hospital. When Michael got outside, he noticed that it was a little after Noon and it seemed like people were crawling all over the place. "Alright," said the Ghost, who was floating left of Michael, "you're going to go to the North Tower, and take the stairs leading to Tower Plaza, and then go down the stairs to the Hall of Guardians."

"Got it," Michael replied, as he started to walk down the Hospital balcony entrance, and walk forward until he saw a giant arch door, a giant machine, that seemed to create a small wormhole in the center of it, and a giant golf ball right be the machine.

"Will you please get going." whined the Ghost, "we don't want to keep the Vanguard waiting!"

"I know, I was just looking." muttered Michael in an annoyed tone. Michael walked up the stairs and saw in awe of the Plaza. It was filled with hundreds of Guardians running around, buying things, or talking to each other.

"Hey, man out of the way!" said a gray bulky armored Guardian, as he ran past him, snapping Michael out of his amazement.

"Now go down the stairs, in the back of the Plaza." said the Ghost in a commanding tone. Michael made his way across the Plaza and down the black stairs, through the hall, until he saw three people at a table screaming at each other. The blue person, was wearing red and gray armor, and was standing at the back at the table, was screaming at a robot thing to the left of him, was wearing a cape. The black woman, opposite of the robot, was trying to calm both down, was wearing a purple robe.

"Cayde so help me, I`ll push you off this tower if you don't shut up!" shouted the blue colored man to the robot.

"Zavala, calm down. All I`m saying is that you allow me, and a team of Hunters to check out the increase of activity in Cosmodrome!"

"Will both of you shut up!" the black woman said screaming at the others, silencing them. "Good." Said woman while taking a breath of relief. "Cayde you can't go, you're the Hunter Vanguard, and Zavala please don't raise your voice everyone in the Tower can hear you."

"Um, excuse me?" asked a now scared Michael, "I`m Michael and you, guys asked for me."

"Oh, your Michael!" happily said the black woman, while smiling, "don't worry, we don't bite." She chuckled, "well, most of us don't. Anyway, my name is Ikora Rey, I`m the Warlock Vanguard. How are your wounds holding up Guardian?" before Michael could reply to Ikora, Cayde started to speak.

"Hey, Guardian!" said the blue robot in an enthusiastic tone, "my name is Cayde-6, or Cayde for short. I`m the Hunter Vanguard, and the best one here." the blue man glared at the robot for a second, and then returned to face Michael.

"Hello Guardian, my name is Zavala I`m the Titan Vanguard, and the Commander of the Guardians. I hope we can take the fight to the Darkness together!"

"So, why did you guys ask for me?" Michael asked.

"We do this with every Guardian, so that they meet their Vanguard leader." replied Ikora.

"And, I`m your Vanguard!" replied Cayde in an upbeat tone. "First things, first," continued Cayde, "we have to explain subclasses to you!"

"Cayde!" protested Iroka as she pointed her hand at Michael, "shouldn't you take things slowly, you might be overwhelming him."

"No Ikora I`m not, my Hunters unlike your Warlocks, don't need to take things slow." Boasted Cayde.

"Which is why, Hunters end up in the Hospital more than any other classes." countered Ikora with a smug look of victory on her face.

"Hey, now-"

"Let's stay on track here." interrupted Zavala as the annoyance on his face started to grow.

"Alright, so the three subclasses of the Hunter class are Nightstalker, Gunslinger, and Bladedancer. The Nightstalker uses Void Energy, Gunslinger Solar Energy, and Bladedancer uses Arc Energy. Any questions, Guardian?"

"No, I don't, it's not like I don't know what a Hunter, Titan, or Warlock is." Sarcastically thought Michael as he rubbed his chin with his hand, to make it seem like, he was going over everything the Vanguard had said."How will I find out what class I am?" Michael asked.

"You're a Hunter." replied Iroka, as Michael raised an eyebrow, "it's because of how you're built. Titans are built, muscular, while Hunters are built leaner, and Warlocks are in-between."

"Alright, what are subclasses?"

"Subclasses are, as the name implies, are the subclass of the Classes. The only thing is there no telling what subclass you'll be unlike the classes. It`ll take a few months to find out, even then it takes years to fully master your class." then Ikora took a data pad out of her right robe pocket and handed it to Michael.

"Guardian, we need heard about your "little problem," and we need you caught up as fast as humanly possible. So, I`ve taken the liberality to download the history of Humanity, onto this data pad. Your Ghost also had your measurements sent to the Guardian armor creator, we also sent the room number and the key to your new room to it as well."

"Am I supposed to walk around in this armor?" Michael asked.

"No!" Cayde said happily, "we sent you 5000 Glimmer, to your Ghost. Just go to Eva Levante, our Guardian Outfitter, who is located in the North Tower and she'll get you started!"

"Thanks for your help." Michael said, as he walked away, but then he stopped and turned around. "Did you guys happen to find a pistol with me?"

"Sorry Guardian, the Vanguard Scout didn't have time to grab anything else except for you." replied Cayde with an apologetic tone in his voice.

"It's fine," said Michael with a sound of disappointment in his voice, and walked away from the Vanguard hall, up the stairs to the hall. To Michael not having the sidearm seemed wrong, due to it was one of the many resources that helped him get off the moon.,"hey, Ghost what is Zavala?"

"Zavala is a member of the Awoken species. Before they became awoken there were some, humans that tried to escape Earth during the Collapse and were changed by the darkness, when they got to the edge of human controlled space." said the Ghost as it floated up and as Michael got to the end of the hallway.

"And Cayde is a robot?"

"Not exactly. Cayde, is an Exo. Exos are ancient war machines, that were made during the Golden Age, and can think and feel like any human." stated the Ghost as Michael reached the top of the stairs.

"And do they choose their numbers, or were they given them when they were made?" asked Michael as he reached, the top of the stairs.

"Neither, it's the amount of times the Exo has had a memory wipe. Cayde-6 for example, has had six memory wipes." replied the Ghost, as Michael crossed the Plaza.

"Thanks for the info," said Michael as he entered the hallway to the North Tower.

"Alright, now just go down these stairs and on the right, will be Eva's store." the Ghost said as Michael rounded the corner. Just as he was about to make it to Eva Levante's store, Michael saw a strange light coming from one of the corners in the hallway. He felt the light pull at him, to come closer and bathe in it. Michael started to head towards the light, it was like his legs were robotic, and someone was using a controller to move them forward.

"What are you doing?" panicked the Ghost.

"Walking towards the Light." Michael said.

"Well then stop!" yelled the Ghost as he started to push on Michael's chest to try to stop him, only for the attempt to stop him.

"I can't."

"What do you mean, you can't!?" the Ghost stopped pushing on Michael's chest and looked at Michael while moving backwards.

"My legs are moving on their own."

"It must be your armor, someone must have hacked into it!"

"How, the hell is that possible, there's no electronics in the armor. Wait is there any electronics, in the armor?" Michael asked as he got closer to the light.

"No, there's not. Someone must have put something, in your leg armor while you were in the hospital!" exclaimed the Ghost.

"Why?"

"Why would I know, I just found out." Michael finally got the light and his uncontrollable legs finally stopped. Michael tried to walk away, but he couldn't move. Then a voice came from the light.

"Hello Guardian, my name is Brother Vance, please do not be alarmed." the voice was calm and collective. Michael heard footsteps of someone walking forward and saw a man dressed in a yellow hood with a black sun on his right shoulder, a black robe with yellow on the inside covering the rest of his body, and a rope tied at his waist to keep everything together, "I`m sorry for hacking your armor, but Osiris demanded that you meet us, as soon as possible. Please take this coin." Vance said as he took a coin from his satchel from his rope belt and put it in Michael's right hand, "and take these clothes." Vance, then took a bag that materialized out of thin air, and put it in Michael's other hand.

"Thanks, I guess, but who is Osiris." Michael asked as he looked at the clothes he was given.

"Osiris, is our leader of our group." replied Brother Vance in an ominous tone. Vance was quiet for fifteen seconds, and then he spoke up, "I`m sorry Guardian, but I cannot stay any longer. "Remember to find us go, where the light is the brightest." and with that the light glowed brighter forcing Michael to turn away when he looked back the light, and Vance was gone.

"We need to alert the Vanguard, immediately!" frantically said the Ghost

"Why?" Michael asked as he began to make his way to the Guardian Outfitter.

"Because Osiris, and his followers, were exiled from the City, for having radical views." said the Ghost as Michael made his way down to the Speaker's Quarter.

"We`ll tell them later." Said Michael as he went inside the Guardian Outfitter's store, "excuse me ma'am, do you know where the Guardian Outfitter is?" Michael asked the women with a pixie cut blond hair, and wearing a green, white, yellow and purple robe who was looking through some clothes

"That's me." said the blond woman, as she stopped looking at the clothes and walked towards Michael.

"I was wondering ma'am, what type of clothes do you carry?" Michael asked.

"We have jeans, some T-shirts, blazers, hoodies, and jackets." replied Eva.

"Thanks," said Michael as he walked over to the clothes and began to look around at the clothes. After about ten minutes of looking, Michael had two pairs of workout clothes, three pair of blue jeans, a three T-shirts, one colored olive-green and two colored blue, and finally a black zip up hoodie. "How much Glimmer will this cost?" Michael asked as he walked up to Eva with the clothes in hand.

"1,200 Glimmer." said Eva as she picked up a bag from one of the various cubbies and handed it to Michael, "your Ghost will just transfer the Glimmer into my account."

"Thanks for the help." Michael said as he put his new clothes into the bag, and walked out of Eva's store, "Ghost, where to next?"

The Ghost then appeared from Michael's armor, hovering above his left shoulder. "Next, stop is your room. The rooms are usually above the Plaza, just go to the stairs behind the Postmaster's room." Michael doubled back to the Plaza, and went up the stairs, and found a hallway that lead further away from the courtyard, "the room number is 576. The room is on the fifth floor, and on the right side." said the Ghost, as Michael walked through the hallway and took a right, and at the end of the hallway went up the flight of stairs, until Michael saw the number five on one of the doors. Michael opened the door and took a left, walking down the hallway. Michael looked at the room numbers as he went 550, 560, 570, and finally 576. The entrance was a gray metal door, and a white scanner to the right.

"It's, just like Sci-Fi movies. All I have to do is put my hand on the white part." thought Michael did as he put his hand, on the white scanner. And a bright, horizontal blue light came from the top to the bottom of the scanner, and the scanner turned green.

"I`m glad that you remembered, the hand scanner!" happily said the Ghost as the door retracted to the left, allowing Michael to walk in, "it's good that you're starting to remember things!"

"I didn't, it just seemed kind of obvious." said Michael as he walked in, and the door shut behind him.

"Oh," and the Ghost hovered down to Michael's shoulder. The room had a bathroom immediately to the right, a window on the back wall overlooking the Plaza, with a plain red bed directly underneath the window, and a small wooden dresser to the left of the bed. The right wall has a small closet that's in the middle of the wall, to the left of the bed was a counter, and some space for a table and a couple of chairs.

"Hey Ghost, do we have any clothes hangers?" Michael asked as he went over to the closet.

"There should be some in the closet." Michael opened the closet, to find the hangers the Ghost was talking about. Michael took out the clothes out of the bag, and hung them up. Michael then walked over to the dresser, opened it, and put the folded jeans, and workout clothes in the dresser.

"Ghost what time is it?"

"It's about 5:00P.M."

"Thanks. Now does the Tower have any Grocery Stores?" asked Michael, as he started to get out of his armor, and put on his olive-green shirt, and a pair of jeans.

"It does, it's near the Hospital, and it's called "Mayborn's."

"Thanks," replied Michael as he started to head to the door.

"Wait, what about me!?" exclaimed the Ghost as it floated up, more than usual.

"You, can go asleep or something." Michael said, as he turned his head back to look at the Ghost.

"What do you think I am? Some personal helper." angrily said the Ghost as it moved closer to Michael with every word.

"Um, yes?" Michael asked in a confused tone.

"Then, how then do you expect to buy get anywhere, or buy something!" said the Ghost, in an I just proved you wrong, tone as it lunged at Michael.

"I`ll ask someone for directions, and won't the Glimmer just be deducted from my account like last time." stated Michael as he moved his head back.

"But… your right." said the defeated Ghost, as it deflated down to Michael's chest.

"I`ll see you later then," Michael said as he walked out of his room. "Finally," thought Michael, as he walked to the stairwell, "I have some time alone." Michael reached the bottom of the stairwell and walked down the hallway, to the Tower Plaza. Michael reached the bottom of the stairs and started to head to "Mayborn's." After about five minutes of walking, Michael finally reached Mayborn's. When he walked in, Michael noticed that it was smaller than he realized, and that there wasn't much of a selection. "Let's see. There's some bread, meat, and lettuce." thought Michael as he went up and down the aisles, "now for the chips and drinks." Michael found some generic potato chips, and he only could find water, and milk. Michael decided to go ask the cashier up front. "Excuse me, sir. Do you have any soda? The cashier was an old, bald black man who had dull green eyes, stood around at 6 feet and 6 inches tall, and was wearing a white apron, and a light blue shirt underneath it.

"No, I don't young Guardian. I only carry water, and milk. The stores down in the city should carry some soda."

"Do you know, of any stores that carry soda, then?"

"There, should be some trader stores in the market. But I don't recommend going down to the city without your Ghost."

"Thank you, sir. How much will this cost?"

"200 Glimmer, just put your hand on the pad, and the Glimmer will transfer over to my account." Michael puts his hand on the pad, and after a few seconds the pad turned green, and Michael took his hand off.

"Thanks for the info." said Michael as he walked away. But then Michael stopped, and turned around to face the old man, "how did you know, I was a Guardian?"

"When I look at the eyes of new Guardians, and I see the excitement, and confusion in their eyes, like no none else in the city." said the old man, with a grin on his face.

"Thanks, the information." Michael then turned around, and walked away while waving.

"See you around Guardian." said the old man, while watching Michael walk away. It was 6:30pm when Michael, finally got back to his room. "I must have been roaming for while the sun is starting to set." thought Michael as he put his hand to the scanner. "Hey, Ghost I`m back!" Announced Michael, as he walked through the doorway.

"Ah, good you're back!" exclaimed the Ghost as it came from the counter to Michael's view, "now we can start catching you up on the History of Humanity. I think it's best we start with the City Age, as to help you understand the workings of The Last City."

"Let, me eat first."

"But this is important!"

"So is eating." Michael bluntly said, as he took out the bread from his bag.

"But, so is this information!" rebutted the Ghost as Michael took out the meat, and lettuce from the bag. Michael then stopped preparing his meal, and turned around to face his Ghost.

"Just let me eat," Michael said as he clenched his jaw, and the annoyance in his voice grew.

"Ok, ok." started the Ghost, "but you need to at least study for an hour. Michael only nodded as he turned back to finish preparing his meal. After Michael finished preparing his meal, he went down to his bed, and sat down. The sandwich was dry, and tasteless, but to Michael it was the best thing he had since he woke up some odd hours ago. After Michael finished his sandwich, he took the data pad from the bed and turned it on.

"So where is the information, on the city?" Michael asked his Ghost.

"It's in the third, opened tab." After a few taps Michael opened the tab and began reading, "If you have any questions, you can ask me." said the Ghost, who was met with silence. After an hour of silence Michael put down the data pad, and rubbed his eyes. "How far did you get?" Asked the Ghost as it floated in front of Michael's face.

"I got to The Battle of Six Fronts." tiredly said Michael.

"That's really good!" Encouraged the Ghost, "at that pace, you`ll be done in no time!"

"Thanks." Michael replied, the tired Michael, as he started to get into bed, "night, Ghost." the last thing Michael saw was the Ghost floating over to the dresser.
