Once, when I was a young guardian, just days after the launch of Destiny, I came across Smoggy in the tower. I was searching for Xur and my search lead me into the bar. I couldn't belive my eyes when I read his name. I had heard the legends of a guardian who had already became legend. As I approached he must have sensed my light and excitement. Without looking up from the table he said, "Please, don't make a scene, I would much rather lay low for the moment." I inquired why he was hiding, and he beckoned me to sit with him. I walked over and I could not fathom what I saw. He sat there, and was playing with a small Vex abomination! The mechanical serpent slithered between his fingers and it's three heads mechanically growled playfully as Smoggy gently tustled with the monster. I couldn't believe it, Smoggy was a traitor to the tower, even brought an agent of darkness into the tower! In disgust, and rage I drew my Pecidillo's Grace with the intent to destroy this threat to humanity, and afterwards, I knew I would he slain by Smoggy. But, I would try to bring him to justice. It was my duty to try. As I unholstered my weapon, Smoggy responded with a wave of his hand. Before I could take aim, my handcannon had dismantled in my hands, and I was left holding twenty-three glimmer. And he spoke, "Wait." The sudden flurry of movement startled the creature and it turned to me. I saw the eyes of the middle head begin to glow, and it's stare locked onto me. All at once I was on my knees. I could feel my light slipping away, being drawn out of me by the Vex aberration, and I knew my death was not far away. Or it would have been, but Smoggy quickly and punitively smacked the creature in the head whose gaze was fixed to me. And all at once my strength was restored and the Vex serpent coiled up, seemingly embarrassed with its bad behavior. Smoggy then fixed his gaze on me and said, "Now listen won't ya? Before I have to dismantle your entire inventory. This little guy means more to the fate the human race than either of us, and I'll make sure he's isn't hurt. I'm here after a meeting with the speaker, and we've already decided what's to happen to him." I could not speak, only listen in amazement as he continued. "Your going to shut the hell up, and not tell anyone about myself, or little Xylar being here isn't that right?" I could only nod. "Now," he continued, "I'm going to be heading to Venus soon, and I suppose, nearly killing you is enough of a reason to give you an explanation of what's going on. You see, this little guy has an amazing ability to feed on the strength of any creature, and amazingly, it's friendly towards the light! Deep inside the Vault of Glass, sits a monstrous Vex with power unimaginable. One day, the guardians will challenge the monster Atheon, and on that day all Guardians will be destroyed. Our first attempt at Atheon's life ended in disaster, and Iost Kabr, my closest friend. But, Xylar, will be our answer! I'm going to hide him in Atheon's throne room, and let him drain away the awesome strength of that Vex lord, and maybe, just maybe, it will be enough to let a raid team defeat him." With that, Smoggy took to his feet and headed toward the shipyard. The last I heard was, "Xylar is very shy, and I imagine no raid team will actually ever meet him. But if they do, I can only hope that they do not anger him. He will grow incredibly powerful feasting on Atheon. And although he is friendly towards the light, as you can see, he will not hesitate to defend himself. I pray for any guardian who challenges him." And then he was gone, and I have never seen him, or the Vex serpent since.

I will never forget the day I met Smoggy. I was at the tower. It was a bright day. The sun shown brightly as the Traveler hung in the sky. It was surprisingly peaceful that day. But little did I know that day I would meet "him." I walked to Rahool and decrypted some engrams. I needed a legendary piece of armor. Rahool looked me in the eyes with a smirk. I knew what was going to happen. He decrypted the engrams for me. I shook nervous. Has the RNG system #rekt me again? I hoped not. He turns to me handing me a blue chest plate. I hold back my tears as Rahool looks me in the eyes. His disdain for Guardians had no bounds. He hated us. But we needed him, and he knew it. I walked away. Tears falling down my face. The sky seemed to turn dark. The sun faded away as I see an eclipse begin. I look up as the sky turns dark with thundering clouds and rushing winds. I look behind me. Everyone trembled in fear. Then I saw it. A guardian, who armor shown with the brightness of the sun. He glided down from the sky as lighting struck his armor. He wasn't fazed by it. He touched the ground delicately. As he touched the tower floor cracks began to appear around him. The floor was caving in around him. Every step he took shook the tower. At any moment it would all collapse. He walked over to Rahool and grabbed him my his garment. He held him in the air. He pulled up his hand and in it appeared the blue chest plate. I checked my inventory. It was gone. Smoggy clenched his hand around the chest plate. It then changed back into an engram. I was awe inspired. I looked as Smoggy showed Rahool the engram. "Let's try that again." He put Rahool back down. The cryptarch quickly began to decrypt the engram. He turned around to present a legendary chest plate. "I'm afraid that is not good enough." Smoggy looked in Rahool's eyes. He was trembling being in the sight of the legend himself. He turned around and worked on the legendary armor. When he finished he turned around trembling. "That...that's...all I can do." Smoggy looked at Rahool. Rahool handed him an exotic chest plate. Smoggy looked approvingly at it. He turned around and faced me. He walked toward me. Every step striking fear into my heart. He held out his hand. "This is yours." He handed me my exotic chest plate. As I put it on in could feel it's power coursing through me. Smoggy then chuckled looking at the weapon strapped on my back. "A No Land Beyond. Haven't gotten one of those in awhile." I looked shamefully as I realized I had made a fool of myself. This weapon was an abarrassment in front of this legend. He touched my shoulder and I felt myself falling backwards. Smoggy held me up. I looked in my inventory. There it was, Gjallerhorn. I had a Gjallerhorn! My No Land Beyond was gone. I look back to find Smoggy holding a No Land Beyond. He admired it. Turning it in his hands. Smoggy's lighting shining off his armor. "This should do quite well." I looked in shock as he walked over to my vault and touch it. I saw a glow around it. Smoggy's light dimmed as he poured power into the vault. When he finished he nodded his head at me slowly gesturing over to the vault. I walked over to the vault slowly. I opened it only to find it filled with maxed out raid gear! Almost all the great exotic weapons including another Gjallerhorn! I put the new armor on. And saw my light increase. I whispered to myself. "Finally 32." I looked back toward the Traveler. Smoggy glided toward it. I called out to him. "How did you do this?" He laughed and smiled. "I became legend. The game is ours to change and ours alone. Break the boundaries young guardian, and become legend!" I saw him disappear as another crack of lighting flew across the sky. I stared into the abyss, watching the clouds dissipate. The sun reappeared and I held my head up high. "Smoggy became legend. Now it's our turn."

It was a cold, dark day and myself and five other Guardians were at Atheon on Hard Mode. We were no match. We tried and we tried and we tried but alas, we could not prevail. We decided to give it one more go and I ended up being the last man standing. Just as we were about to give up, the impossible happened. [b][i]"SmoggyPluto has joined the Fireteam"[/i][/b] We were stunned. A seventh Fireteam member? How could this be? He joined the game and immediately proceeded to revive my fallen comrades; even though we were on Hard Mode. At this point me and the rest of the Fireteam were perplexed. Regardless of the unworldly, God-like wizardry we had just experienced, we pressed on. "OK g-g-get ready to teleport g-guys" I mumbled. SmoggyPluto let out a silent yet hearty chuckle and merely muttered the word: [i]"No."[/i] Immediately Atheon shed a tear, lifted up the Gates and proceeded to cheese himself by running off of the edge. We were speechless. I think the female member of the Fireteam had an orgasm. We all received a No Land Beyond each except from SmoggyPluto whom received a Gjallarhorn. He showed his distaste by going: [i]"Humph".[/i] Immediately, all of our No Land Beyonds turned to Gjallarhorns and we were all level 32 with maxed out Raid gear. However, his Gjallarhorn had turned into a No Land Beyond. [i]"That's better"[/i] he said. [b][i]"SmoggyPluto has left the Fireteam"[/i][/b]

Since this topic is about the legend. I shall share a story too. A story of our legend. There I was. Standing atop a rock inside the hellmouth, I was surrounded by hundreds of thrall. After 3 hopeless days, I thought of finishing myself with my khostov. The abyss was finally making me go mad. The decision was made. I took my helmet off, and put the gun inside my mouth. I was meant to be thrall food, inside this dark abyss. Before I pulled the trigger, I pulled the gun away to try one last desperate act. With what I thought would be my last word, I screamed, "SMOGGYPLUTO!!!!!" Seconds passed... this was it. It's all over. But then... I hear a whistling sound. Someone falling down into the abyss? No it can't be! No one knew I was down here. The whistling got louder... it sounded like a plane dropping. What happened after that, I cannot explain. All I seen was a grayish blur. It was a titan using fist of havoc! It was smoggypluto! He hit the ground so hard, he killed thousands of thrall in one blow. Any that survived were killed by the after shock, which spread for hundreds of feet. I was in disbelief! I was now standing on the ground, as the rock I was standing on had been crumbled into a million pieces. I observed the crater where he had landed. Nothing happened. "Smoggy... please don't be dead.." I whispered. There was no way you could survive a titan smash from that height. I heard a chuckle and then... A hunter emerged from the crater! "do not be afraid my child." He said to me. "I shall take you through this wretched abyss. I said nothing, I had no words. "Follow me" he said. I jogged behind him, as his walk was 2x faster than mine. We went through the entire trail, and not a single enemy spawned. They could sense the presence of smoggy. There were bodies of thrall, knights, and ogres everywhere. How could this be?? I was standing on a rock by the 3rd lamp. His fist of havoc, killed EVERY enemy inside the abyss. We came to the bridge, it was already formed! But how?... There was so much confusion. Smoggy smiled at me, and led me into the light. To be continue.....

[url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj4nJ1YEAp4[/url] On a scorching Mars evening On a sparrow bound for Valus I teamed up with SmoggyPluto Alone the strike I could not beat So we took turns a-boostin' Through the canyons and the tunnels The fear it overtook me, So he began to speak He said, "Son, I've made a legend Out of shootin' peoples' faces Sewin' death and sorrow In the souls of lesser foes So if you don't mind my sayin' I can see you're out of courage For one of your supply codes I'll give you some advice" So he looked in my inventory And he consumed my last Cabal code Then he bummed a heavy synth And we sped forward out of sight And ‘round the corner we faced a riot And on his shoulder appeared the Wolfpack He said, "If you're gonna become a myth, boy You gotta learn how to fight.” You've got to know when to snipe 'em Know when to wipe 'em Know when to take cover And that you never run You never count your ammo When you're aimin' at a bullet-sponge There'll be time enough for countin' When the dying’s done Every guardian knows That the secret to survivin' Is learnin’ how to do it right And knowin' not to cheese 'Cause experience makes a killer And cheatin’ makes a loser And the best that you can hope for is Gjallarhorn With a low K/D And when he finished killin’ Valus was in pieces He handed me the Wolfpack And took my blue engram And wings, he did a’sprout them And grace it was his armor As flew into the sunset’s gaze His mind spoke unto my own: You've got to know when to revive ‘em Know when to stand by ‘em Know when to grab heavy ammo And know when to wait You never let your teammates Capture A in Blind Watch There'll be time enough for reportin’ When the match is done You've got to know when to lead 'em Know when to leave 'em Know when to educate And know when you’re done You never waste your hours If the team is full of morons There'll be time enough for raidin’ With a competent group You've got to know on the forum Know when you bore ‘em Know when to ask for nerfs And when to grow a pair You never assume people care at all If you say you’re leaving Destiny There'll be time enough for whining When Xur isn’t selling syths
