Hall of Guardians, The Tower, Last City
Cayde-6 Ikora, if you tell me this is a practical joke. Well, it kills me to say it, but I - I would be really impressed.
Ikora Impressing you, Cayde, is the easiest thing I’ll do all day.
Zavala Lets get serious people.
Cayde-6 Zavala! This is my serious face. Can’t you tell?
Zavala Ikora, what have you got?
Ikora Someone or something has sabotaged the Skyline Defence Systems.
Cayde-6 And comms have been spotty for the last few hours. Every sensor beyond the wall has gone dark.
Zavala Hmmm… Maybe it’s just the storm. Maybe it’s… What are the sat feeds telling us?
Ikora Nothing
Cayde-6 Well, thats good, right?
Ikora No! I mean, they’re not there. There are no satellites.
Cayde-6 And that’s not good.
Zavala sees approaching armada of warships coming out of the storm
Zavala Battle stations!
Warships fire missiles at The Tower
Zavala Everyone with me, Now!
Zavala bubbles, and Ikora blinks herself and Cayde-6 inside
Ikora Hang on!
Zavala struggles to maintain the shield under heavy fire. The armada passes overhead flying toward The Traveller
GHOST Repeat, Tower Approach, this is City Hawk seven-two-three. Anyone home…?
[Static]
GHOST No response on any channels, even the emergency frequencies. [sigh] What is going on back there? Remember when I told you that you fly too fast? Forget I said that. Fly fast.
Tower Watch, The Last City, Earth
GHOST Our home… Everything’s gone. The Tower… The City…
GHOST Cabal!
GHOST Big armour, bigger guns. Like giant space rhinos; smash first, ask questions never.
Zavala This is Commander Zavala. Civilians: report to evac points. Guardians: rendezvous in the Plaza. Our City will not fall.
Cayde-6 appears in doorway fighting Cabal
GHOST Cayde!
Cayde-6 Hey you two! Gimme a sec.
Cayde-6 defeats the Cabal with his Golden Gun
GHOST What’s going on?
Cayde-6 Zavala’s doing the hero act in the Plaza. Me? I’ve got a date with whoever’s behind this. It’ll be a short date.
Cayde-6 transmats to his ship
Guardian meets up with Shaxx defending civilians
Shaxx Over here, Warlock. My armoury is open to you. Follow the path from there. It will lead you through the hangar to the plaza. I’ll take care of these people. If the Cabal want war, give them war.
Tower Announcement Evacuation order Seven Seven is in effect. This is not a drill. All civilians report to designated evacuation areas immediately.
TOWER HANGAR, The Last City, Earth
GHOST Look at the size of that thing. It must be their command ship.
Guardian defeats a flying a cabal squad
GHOST They’re not just assaulting the City. Look at the Traveler!
Cayde-6 OK. My Ghost keeps tagging these Cabal as “Red Legion.” Ikora what d’ya got?
Ikora Rumors, mostly. An elite faction of the Cabal, deathly loyal to their commander. But that is irrelevant. They are attacking the Traveler! We MUST get to it now!
Zavala Negative. The Traveler can wait. We will protect our people at any cost.
GHOST The Traveler… what is that… thing they’re attaching to it?
Guardian arrives at the Tower plaza where Zavala is defending against Red Legion
Zavala These Red Legion are well trained. But we are better. We will hold this line until the last civilian is safely away.
Ship fires missiles
Zavala Incoming! Fall back to my shield!
Zavala Don’t let them past the gate! The evac shuttles are back there!
Guardian and Zavala defeat the first wave of enemies
Zavala We hold here. That command ship- it’s next on my list.
Zavala Missiles! Stay inside my shield!
Guardian and Zavala defeat the second wave of enemies
Zavala More Red Legion! Show them what Guardians are made of!
Guardian and Zavala defeat the third wave of enemies
Ikora Zavala, the last of the shuttle is away. But the Speaker - he never made it. I’m going to look for him.
Zavala I’ve got the plaza. Go with Ikora. Find the Speaker!
GHOST We’re on it, Commander!
Zavala Another barrage! Go Guardian!!! Just go! I’ll take care of these.
GHOST We need to find The Speaker.
Running towards the North Tower, the Guardian passes sweeper bot who has found her whistle protocol
Tower North, The Last City, Earth
Ikora Nova Bombs a squad of Red Legion
GHOST Ikora!
Ikora The Speaker is gone. Red Legion, you will take no more from us. And you will find no mercy in me!
Ikora jumps on a Cabal ship
GHOST Zavala-
Zavala She’ll find the Speaker. We need to move that command ship. Now head to the North Tower. I’m sending Amanda Holliday to pick you up.
Zavala Amanda’s inbound! She’ll drop you on the command ship.
Amanda Someone told me you need a ride.
Amanda transmats the Guardian onto her ship
Amanda Zavala, picked up that Guardian you never shut up about.
Zavala Get them on that command ship - Now!
Amanda Hold on back there!
Amanda looks at the Traveler
Amanda: Come on, big guy. Do something.
The ship is hit by minor fire
Amanda Ugh!
Amanda pulls up to an unshielded area of the command ship
Amanda All right, Guardian! Time to kick’em where it hurts.
THE IMMORTAL Command Ship, The Last City, Earth
Amanda Let us know when the shields are down and we’ll hit that ship with everything we got.
GHOST: That hologram could help. Let me take a look.
Ghost scans the hologram
GHOST Let me at that console. We can find a schematic in there. OK, the shield generator should be at the bottom of the ship.
Guardian defeats Pashk, the Searing Will
Zavala Cayde! What’s your status?
Cayde-6 Uh… little low on ammo. The whole flaming pistol [static] burning out. Any… [static]… heard from Ikora?
Zavala Not since she went [static] for the Speaker. Form up! [static] on me!
Guardian defeats Brann, The Unbent Blade
GHOST The shield generator should be straight ahead.
Guardian defeats Kreth, the Living Skyfire
GHOST All right. Destroy the turbines. The shields should fizzle.
First turbine is destroyed
GHOST Yes! Just like that!
Second turbine is destroyed
GHOST Heat levels rising! It’s working!
Third turbine is destroyed
GHOST Zavala! We did it! The shields are down!
[Static]
GHOST Zavala?
GHOST Amanda! We’re headed topside!
[Static and combat]
GHOST Amanda?! Anyone?!
The Guardian runs out onto the back deck to see the Traveller being encircled
GHOST How do we come back from this?
Ghaul You don’t.
Ghaul Welcome to a world without Light.
Ghaul activates the device around the Traveller and the Guardian loses their light
GHOST Guardian, something’s wrong…
Ghost falls to the ground
Ghaul Do not look at me, creature!
Ghaul kicks Guardian
Ghaul You are weak. Undisciplined. Cowering behind walls. You’re not brave. You’ve merely forgotten the fear of death. Allow me to reacquaint you.
Ghaul punches Guardian towards the end of his ship, Ghost falls off the edge
Ghaul Your kind never deserved the power you were given. I am Ghaul. And your light… is mine.
Ghaul kicks Guardian off the command ship
