While the Guardian was walking forward, Etharo appeared before River saying, "River, we need to talk."

River heard that and said, "Lady Etharo, what brings you here?"

Etharo answered, "Kick Arduri and Gilko out of Snow Palace."

River said, "You'll be weakening Snow Palace. We need them."

Etaro said, "They will kill the Guardian. Puthen saw all of the future timelines, and they all show him dying after he saves the realm."

River said, "I am sorry. I can't do that. This base needs them. Even if they plan on killing the Guardian, then they won't be able to."

Etharo asked, "What makes you say that?"

River pointed at the pile of heads and said, "Do you really think that they can take on a monster capable of killing that many Fallen and Fey along with Beast."

Etharo answered, "Not really. By the way, the Guardian screwed over the Exo and Fey. The Fey found him and thought that the Exo were involved with them attacking their base on Titan. But because he killed Sig Ar, Tharo Bak wants to kill the Fey because they are the only beings in the system strong enough to beat them. He's turning all of Humanity's enemies against one another. He's the enemy of all enemies. And an ally to all those that are the enemies of his enemies."

River laughed and then said, "Well now, he's the only Realm Keeper to survive this long. Let's see how much longer that he'll survive."

Etharo said, "The Guardian is the strongest in his realm. Well, he did defeat a Fallen God."

River said, "Oh, I do hope that the Cult of Tomorrow don't get their way. Reviving the Evil God isn't good."

Etharo said, "No it isn't. Well, I gotta go back."

River said, "Sorry about keeping them here, Lady Etharo. I need all the help that I can get."

Etharo said, "It seems that the only way to save himself is to kill both Arduri and Gilko."

River heard that and then back at the entrance to Bey Pass which leads straight to Tarasovna's gates, the Guardian saw the Fallen standing there on guard saying, "Hm, they are on watch. Meaning that they are the gates guards."

Vertigo said, "Hm, do you see that Fallen at the gate?"

The Guardian looked at it and then asked, "What is it? I don't think that I've ever seen it before."

Vertigo answered, "It's a Vulgar. A type of Fallen created from Ether absorption. An experiment that turned a Hive Acolyte into a Fallen. Its name is Githras, Tarasovna Gatekeeper. It protects the gates. And has a key code to get inside. We'll need that or we'll never get in."

The Guardian said, "Well, we got a lot of work to do then. Fallen are everywhere."

He took a high advantage point and took out the White Dagger that was given to him by Arduri saying, "Let's see what happens next."

The Guardian aimed it at the Fallen as he laid on his chest and started firing at them. The Fallen started howling and then Githras heard that and then took out his Vulgar Rifle and aimed it forward looking around for the person shooting at them. After every 5 shots from the White Dagger, he reloaded his weapon and said, "Hm, this baby packs quite the punch."

Vertigo said, "White Dagger is a personal weapon for the Arduri Family. It shouldn't be capable of being used by anyone but members of his family."

The Guardian said, "Unless the owner chooses for someone else to wield it. That is a possibility, right?"

Vertigo answered, "Yep."

After he finished reloading, he started aiming again and fired at them. He checked his radar and then said, "Hm, those lights weren't there before."

Vertigo said, "Must be the Captains and Revenants."

The Guardian said, "You have a point. I forgot that they could teleport."

The Guardian looked down and then saw them crawling around and started sniping them from above. Githras saw that the Captains were falling and then looked up and Vertigo said, "Githras has his eyes on you."

The Guardian started crawling backwards a little and then Githras howled and then said, "Guess it was just my imagination."

The Guardian kept sniping from his vantage point and then after he depleted all of his ammo, defeating over 75 Fallen, he said, "Well now, that's an Engram, right?"

Vertigo answered, "Yes. A Common Engram. If we pick one up and bring it to a Cryptarch in the New City, then we'll get new gear to use in battle."

The Guardian said, "I see. Time to go hunting."

He jumped down from his vantage point and took out his Refugee Rifle and started shooting at the Dregs ahead of him. Vertigo saw that and then the Guardian charged toward the White Engram and 2 seconds later, he picked it up and then Vertigo put it in their storage box. The Guardian hid behind a tree nearby and then Githras saw that and aimed it at the tree and Vertigo said, "Githras has its sights on us again."

The Guardian said, "But, he doesn't know that I am already over there by the 4th crate by the gate."

Vertigo heard that and then the Guardian stepped out from behind the tree and Githras pulled the trigger leaving a arc blast hitting him, but it was an after image and Githras saw that and then looked around and the Guardian stood up and shot Githras 26 times in the head killing it. The Guardian walked over to Githras' body and said, "It looks similar to an Abomination."

River said, "There is a difference between Abomination and Vulgar. Vulgar doesn't shoot out lightning from its hands, Abominations do. Vulgar uses a gun called a Vulgar Rifle. A weapon similar to a Shock Rifle, but is more deadly."

The Guardian said, "Well, I dealt with him. A full clip defeated him. We have the key codes. Now, get us inside."

Vertigo said, "With pleasure."

The Guardian ran toward the gate and then said, "It's all up to you."

Vertigo started scanning the key pad and started working. As soon as the gate opened, the Guardian saw that there were three paths. One leading to Skerkys-19. One leading to Gigir. And the other leading to where prison was.
