The Tower is under siege

What if while you were playing Destiny you heard an urgent message coming from the tower? Maybe it would be from your Vanguard Mentor, maybe even from our Beloved Cryptarch. This message might come through your headset like a dying whisper, or a panicked call to arms popping up like you've accepted a patrol mission. This message would be very clear, enemies approaching, defenses failing, we need you now, we need you [u]all[/u] now. I'm talking about the ultimate community event, team up now, or understand that all could be lost. Finish your pvp game, speed to the end of your pve mission, jump to orbit, and head home. The Fallen are breaking through, The Vex are massing their attack, The Cabal are making their final stand. The Tower will fall. Unless through their strength together, the Guardians stand to protect what is theirs. Snipers to the balcony, Titans to the front, it's going to be a wild ride. It will take 24 hours to get the Tower's defenses back online, you'll respawn in the special events area where the Tower's staff will be waiting, eager to provide their services if if means saving the last beacon of light from waves of enemies stronger than any one could defeat alone. Let's win this together.

    When I read this I imagined a ton of top lvl players jumping into the fray and having a blast. However, I also imagined that this event happened on a Saturday, and all of the guardians jumping up and down once the voice announced the incoming event. As soon as the event dropped all of the guardians would run towards the mobs of darkness and once halfway there they would hear slow falling footsteps and stop to look where it was coming from. Out of his two day hide away would come Xür, slowly padding towards the center of the tower. Once he gets to the center of the clearing, he'll slowly turn his body towards the minions of the darkness. With his left hand he will pull out Hawk Moon, and with his right he'll pull out The Last Word. He'll ever so slowly aim both hand cannons towards the hoards of enemies and then will do something so terrifying it sends shivers up my spine just thinking about it. He'll smile. With a speed rivaling that of a 17 year old running away from a busted frat party, he'll have dozens of tendrils shoot of his robes, all holding exotic weapons. Right in front of him one tendril will hold the Vex Mythocast and a lowly dreg will see it and whisper, "That stupid gun is so brok-" But he won't be able to finish his sentence, because Xür only let's words of praise for his wares fall upon his ears(?). The rest of the hoard will stand still looking down at the unfortunate dreg, not daring to move an inch. Finally a Praetorian in the back with a voice that probably sounds better than Dinklebots will bellow, "Retreat!" Unfortunately for them, Xür is the only one that gets to make an uneventful farewell. (and have a couple people complain about it) Xür fires all of his amazing weapons and the Bad Juju at the helpless masses of unsuspecting evil doers. In a brilliance of flashy bullets and heaps of dead bodies- the shear number warranting a look at the T rating of the game- it's all over too soon. Xür puts all of his weapons away and goes back to the hallway from where he came. At the entrance he turns around, and slowly raises one fist. The guardians erupt... all except the warlocks. Xür raises his brow, and pulls out a pair of Sun Breakers. The warlocks start to boo, some yelling slanderous names. He pulls out the Vex Mythocast and points it out into the crowd... Silence. He puts the Vex Mythocast back and holds the Sun Breakers high into the air. All of the Guardians erupt into whoops and cheers. He puts the Sun Breakers away and looks towards Rahool. He puts up a hand as if to wave and Rahool mimics him. He turns his palm around and gives him the bird and keeps it up as he makes it back to his home away from home. By the time he gets back to his spot, the applause is deafening. Edit [spoiler]Thanks for all the likes and encouraging comments.[/spoiler]
