![]() ![]() It's then that the trail starts showing up as they see the bodies of Fallen and Hive. With no sign of the fallen exo anywhere near the steppes they decide to backtrack, heading back to the divide. We made a promise, so we better live up to it." And with that they touch down in the cosmodrome. "All that I know, is that this is going to be our toughest fight yet." Gold says. We've slayed gods, we've saved the city without our light, we've even taken on all of our worst nightmares. "We've been with Taiki well before he fell to the darkness so we've picked up his experiences. "Are you sure we can do this?" Spe-7 asks as the trio closes in on their location. As they head off to the cosmodrome the people of the last city return to normal commotion, and the trio talks amongst themselves. "I only wish you three the best of luck." Shaxx says as the trio calls for their jumpships. Let's go put Taiki to rest, to end this madness once and for all." "Gold stated a promise, one that we can all achieve and uphold. "It's about time we dealt with Taiki once and for all." "Should we go to the Cosmodrome?" Spe-7 asks. The people cheer again and Spe-7 looks to Suzuka. ![]() ![]() "I've seen them slay gods, I've seen them avenge our hunter vanguard, Cayde-6! If they can do that, they can do it again, and avenge Zavala and Ikora!" And with that the three bring out their heavy weapons and raise them up in the air in defiance of Taiki's threats and in unison of the new vanguard. "I stand with these three!" Shaxx calls out as he stands by the trio. "The man responsible for this attack! The man that tried to extinguish the vanguard just now! We will avenge the vanguard, and we will put him in the ground!" "Your new vanguard has arrived! We will carry the beacon of hope that those before us have always carried before, and we will forever stand proud!" People start cheering as Spe-7 rallies everyone. "People of the last city!" Spe-7 calls out. "We've worked with the vanguard long enough to know it's workings, especially me and Spe." "If nobody is willing to step up, then we will." Suzuka replies. Everyone is on pins and needles for the anticipation, but when Suzuka breaks the silence, everyone finds hope. "But who's going to step up?" Drifter asks. "The vanguard is not just a group of people! It is the representation of how far we've come! It is a beacon of our hope! Just because the people representing the vanguard have been killed, doesn't mean that the vanguard is gone! It will continue to live on!" Well we're going to give him war!" Hearing that come out of Suzuka's mouth makes the crucible handler perk up and Spe-7 and Gold also stand tall as well. "I've had enough of him." Suzuka mumbles. "Taiki, you REALLY think we're going to keel over just because we lost our vanguard?" "He really thinks he can do this and just waltz away without us doing anything?" Suzuka asks. It's then that Suzuka punches the ground in defiance and she stands up, all attention brought to her. And I'm not exactly the best candidate either." The remains of the city have gone silent as they wait for someone- anyone to speak up and guide them. Who's going to be the next vanguard now?" Drifter asks. The equine trio have not said a word since Taiki vanished and told them to go to the Cosmodrome if they wanted to find him, and Drifter looks with worry. "Has the city fallen yet again?" Shaxx mutters to himself in disbelief. Squashed like a cockroach." Drifter mumbles. Have I seen something like THIS." Banshee says as he emerges from his gunsmith station, having gone into hiding when the remnants of House Salvation attacked. I don't believe it." Shaxx says in horror as he sees Zavala's corpse and his dead ghost not too far from it. The trio in question find themselves looking down in solemn, cursing the fact they couldn't save the vanguard, cursing Taiki and his treachery, down on one knee. The people of the last city reemerge to see that the House of Salvation has been repelled thanks to the efforts of the equine guardians, but they also see that Zavala and Ikora have been permanently killed by the fallen guardian known as Taiki-9. ![]()
