"Light thinks it travels faster than anything, but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always gotten there first, and is waiting for it."

Anthony awoke in the middle of the night. Destiny lay beside him fast asleep. He decided he needed some water and went to the kitchen. As he got his water he looked out the window of the house. He spotted Yang sitting outside in the grass looking up at the shattered moon.

He set down his glass and walked outside to her. "Hey." he said as approached her position on the lawn.

"Hey," she said without taking her eyes off the sky.

"Don't you think you should get some sleep, Yang?" Anthony questioned as he sat next to her.

"Tried." Was her only response to him. She seemed distant from him. Like she wasn't really here talking right now.

"Are you okay? What's on your mind, Yang."

"I'm fine, Anthony."

"Are you sure caus-"

"I said I'm fine!" she turned to him with red eyes. Anthony frowned and she sighed. "Sorry, Anthony…"

"It's fine," he replied. "You want to tell me what that was about?"

"I-I really miss Ruby… and Blake… and Weiss…" Yang said softly. In response Anthony wrapped his arms around her.

"I won't say that we will find them because I don't know that that is true, but I will tell you that I think that there is a high chance that a Ghost brought them back just like Destiny, you, and me." He said in a comforting tone.

Yang sighed. "I can't even sleep because they are on my mind and I feel like I'm failing them by not finding them yet." She admitted.

"Well if you can't sleep because of the guilt then try not to think about not finding them. Think about how happy they'll be when we do find them because if they are alive, then I know that they'll be trying to find us too. Now… I'll talk to Cayde and the other Vanguard mentors in the morning and ask about them."

"Thanks, Anthony. I needed this." Yang said as she and Anthony got up. He replied with a hug.

"Anytime, Sis." He kissed her on the cheek. "Now try to get some rest. Goodnight, Yang. I love you."

"Love you too, Anthony." She smiled. "See you in the morning.

-Law of the Jungle-

"What do you mean you wouldn't know Cayde?" Anthony asked, "You are here like all day. You see everyone that comes through here."

Anthony went to Cayde at around 8' o clock that morning to see what he could find out about his friends.

"I'm sorry Guardian, but I see hundreds of Guardians a day," Cayde explained, shrugging his shoulders in the process. "And I hardly ever do I learn the name of the Guardians."

"What if I describe them?" Anthony purposed.

Cayde sighed, "I guess it couldn't hurt to try. Shoot Guardian."

"Okay, well," Anthony thought of what Ruby might be wearing these days. "Okay, she would most likely be wearing red and black. She normally wears a red cloak. She probably has a rose insignia on her armor. She is energenic all the time, has silver eyes, black hair with red tips… That sound like anyone you would know?"

"Hmm, yeah actually, I just sent her and another Guardian dressed in all white with snowflake insignias on her armor on a mission about… Mmm- half hour ago." Cayde replied.

"That's them!" Anthony exclaimed happily. "Where did you send them?"

"The Cosmodrome. They are to get an array system up and running." Cayde replied. "Say… The red one was a lot more quiet than usual. I think there was some tension between those two Guardians."

"That doesn't surprise me…" Anthony concluded with a smirk, "Thank you very much, Cayde."

"Your welcome, Guardian."

Anthony quickly sent a message to Yang and Destiny to meet him in the Cosmodrome as soon as possible. Then he hopped in his spaceship and set course.

-Meanwhile-

"This Ghost still holds the codes to the Array!" Ruby's Ghost exclaimed. "I'll set a waypoint on your HUD to the array."

Ruby and Weiss set off in awkward silence. They had barely spoken two words about what had occurred the previous night. Weiss figured she would talk to her about it when she had some time to think about it.

"Fallen ahead." Ruby informed her quietly as she took out her Crescent Rose. She shifted it into its sniper form and opened fire, taking out a few Dreggs instantly. A captain with dual swords charged them while some Vandals hung back and shot at them with their pulse guns.

Weiss ran to meet the Captain with her rapier. She created a glyph to block the Captain's first strike. As the Fallen elite recoiled, Weiss stabbed at it with electric dust selected on her rapier, taking down the Captain's shield instantly.

Weiss jumped back as the Captain swung at her and Ruby jumped over her and swung her scythe downwards at the Captain. The captain crossed his swords and blocked Ruby's blow. Ruby pulled her trigger and hit the captain. The captain roared angrily. Ruby ran at it with lightning fast speed. She quickly slashed the Captain multiple times before it knew what hit him.

Weiss sheathed her weapon and grabbed her scout rifle off her back. She disposed of the remaining Fallen quickly.

"There, take me to that console." Ruby's Ghost said as he directed them on their HUD. The Ghost began to scan the console and after a few seconds he returned to Ruby. "Outside, the array is opening."

Weiss and Ruby walked out to see the enormous array system rise and expand. They watched in awe, but they were soon interrupted by the screeching of hive jump ships.

"We've got Hive! I'm reading four ships inbound." Weiss's Ghost informed them. Sure enough four Hive ships entered at once and started deploying troops. Knights, thrall, and Acolytes poured in. Ruby and Weiss took cover on either side of the large doorway. Ruby kneeled down and started shooting the advancing thrall with her sniper. Weiss popped out of cover and took a headshot on an acolyte behind cover.

Weiss noticed that a Knight with a sword began to advance them. It was stronger than a normal knight. It was equipped with armor and seemed little affected by the bullets Weiss was putting in him.

It was only a few yards from the two Guardians when suddenly two swords pierced its back. Weiss looked at it curiously as it fell to its knees. Then she saw the Guardian behind the knight kick it forward. The Guardian waved before he burst with electricity and started taking out the other Hive. Weiss saw a nova bomb fly from the other side of the battlefield and take out a few Hive.

Shed decided now was a good time to use her super and started slicing through hive. Ruby also began to use her super and her sniper became surrounded by fire and she took three shots at a Hive knight, killing it. The number of hive had diminished greatly with only half a dozen acolytes left.

This was when the last Guardian presented themselves. This guardian used her gauntlets and took out the last of the Hive with a fiery explosion.

"Could it be?" Weiss sked herself as she watched the Guardian. The five Guardians now stood in the middle of the battlefield. Weiss and Ruby stood by each other and then the other three by each other.

"So… who are you?" Weiss broke the silence.

"I'm hurt Weiss." The Guardian in yellow and orange spoke. "You didn't recognize my kick ass fighting abilities?"

Yang took off her Helmet and smirked. Weiss and Ruby gasped then removed their own helmets.

Ruby got teary eyed and rushed Yang with arms out. "Yang!"

Yang returned it happily. "I hope you aren't gonna leave me out of this hug," Anthony said as he and Destiny both took off their helmets.

"Anthony… Destiny…" Ruby said as the two joined them in the hug with Yang. This left Weiss there still with a shocked face.

"You gonna join us Ice Queen or you just gonna stand there." Yang smirked at Weiss.

Weiss smiled and ran to join them in the hug. "It's so good to see you three. It took you long enough!"

"Ahh, Weissy. Did you miss us?" Anthony teased.

"Yes I did," she admitted. "Now, I have so many questions for you three."

"In due time." Yang said slowly as she brushed Ruby's hair with her hand. "In due time…"
