In the aftermath of the Red War, and the establishment of the Confederation of Planets, all conflict has ceased, a war between the four factions that make up the government is an impossibility. However, while that may be the case a sudden break out of the Prison of Elders was executed, and with it, a scourge of mutated Fallen called the Scorn had scattered all across the system. During the breakout, Cayde-6 was murdered in cold blood by Uldren Sov, a man long thought to have been killed. While many are taking the loss in their own way, one man refuses to let Uldren go, and he is willing to do anything necessary to kill him. Even if it means breaking every code and law in the book. That man's name is Aaron-14.

The annihilation of the Hive from two years ago left the world at peace finally. With the death of James-17 hopefully being the final nail in the coffin, leaving the world to finally rebuild from the devastation from the darkness from ages ago. However, a new threat is on the horizon, one that requires old enemies to unite. The world will crack and break, and the thunderous footsteps of war will return to Earth. And this time, light will not be enough.

Thirteen years after the death of Skolas all seemed to be going well for the Vasquez family. Since that time their family had seen three additions. David, the son of James and Cameron and Emily and William, the daughter and son of Kathrine and Nova. All was well until a splinter faction of Eliksni delved into the Cosmodromes depths and unearthed a Darkness long since forgotten. Now, Lord Saladin and the Vasquez family must defeat this new Cult of Ascension and their master, before they rise up and destroy all that they hold dear. "© Bungie, Inc. All rights reserved.

Two years passed after David Vasquez saved the Last City from the likes of Upgrade and since that time many things have changed across the planet Earth. However, all had but forgotten the threat promised by Crota fifteen years ago. His father, Oryx, has arrived at the Sol System and with him the Taken, a legion of corrupt, once living beings changed by darkness. This time, not even the powers of Invictus are strong enough to stop him.

The Fallen; A proud, honorable, warrior race, reduced to nothing but a shadow of its former self. Their homeworld of Ralterra produced the finest warriors the galaxy had ever seen; until the whirlwind. In that time the high seer created a prophecy, telling of a Kell who would lead their people to a golden age once again. Nearly eight hundred years has passed and one Kell believes that he is the one the prophecy spoke of. Skolas the Rabid desires the thrones of all houses, this time James himself is not enough to stop him; it's time for an Upgrade. "© Bungie, Inc. All rights reserved.

A few months after the destruction of the Black Garden's heart, things returned to normal for the people of the tower. As normal as it could be anyway. However in the seventh week after it's destruction, a young boy arrives in the tower. He was broken, in tears. He tells the vanguard of a man with a hand cannon who killed his family. And he looked like a hunter. To prevent this madman from destroying settlements outside of the city any further they send James-17 to investigate. "© Bungie, Inc. All rights reserved.

What if you woke up in a world where you didn't understand anything...if almost everyone answered your questions vaguely or cryptically? That is the life of James-17, an Exo who was just revived by a Ghost. James found himself in the plains of Old Russia, close to the Cosmodromes wall. At each and every turn he only seemed to gather more questions than answers. Now understanding that he is a Guardian, he chooses to fight for the last vestige of humanity. However, mysterious things happen to him - things that are beginning to reveal to him his original purpose, and what he needs to be. The actions that he will take to find his own purpose will change the Destiny universe forever. "© Bungie, Inc. All rights reserved.

The final push, the final assault, the final chapter.

It's been 9 years since he had defeated Aetheon- nearly 50 since Twilight Gap, and 100 since he was first resurrected. Talos, by then, known to most as the Hammer, was relieved of duty a year before, now working in the Tower Hangar, helping out Holiday. But then he gets an odd frequency on his radio- a transmission, from a friend, Another Guardian. This person however had died several years before, after his little fight with the Taken King. Being the Titan he was, he immediately donned his armor, and reinstated himself as Lead Sunbreaker of the Titan Order. ---------------------------------------------------------- This is a short story, not a full story.

~~Sequel to The Hidden Truth~~ (HIATUS) It all went to hell, didn't it? The Speaker betrayed us, betrayed the Guardians, and broke his promise of safety and prosperity within our walls. There are Guardians who remained loyal to him and the City, and vowed to protect the Traveler at any cost. And there are Guardians who fled, many looking to fight the Tower, some looking for freedom from our walls, and a handful without so much of a clue as to where to go next. Our fireteam, Hidden Power, was among this group. And I'm starting to wonder if we're going to regret this later down the line. Zero keeps saying they're just going to pick us off if we don't act. But we're moving into enemy territory now. The Ishtar Sink, home of the Vex, and apparently ours too, now. The Future War Cult keeps insisting that we'll do okay here. We're supposed to be immortal, after all. How much longer will that last? The Reef offered to help us out. They send us supplies every so often. That's not too bad. But the Exo Stranger's gone. Left without a trace, or even a name to remember her by. So what's left to do? We destroyed our home with no way of coming back. Our best odds are taking the fight back to the Tower, the Speaker, and maybe even the Traveler. So that's what we'll do, at least until someone comes up with a better idea. Hopefully, but I'm not optimistic. (Semi-hiatus. I update when I can. I'm finishing this book dammit) ~~~ I don't own Destiny, but this plot and most OCs are mine. And without further ado, I hope you enjoy :)
