[spoiler]This post is very long. If you don't have time to read it, just search #Carnil[/spoiler] It's a Vex Strike on Venus. You are tasked with Killing Aphron, True Analyzer. If he lives, the Vex will continuously flow from the past, present, and future. [b]THIS STRIKE IS NOT EXCLUSIVE TO PLAYSTATION[/b], just sayin [b]Opening/Loading Text:[/b] [spoiler]"We've intercepted a Vex signal. It's a new Axis Mind. The signal puts us at a very high risk right now. This messenger machine could harm the City if it so pleased, and you know how I am about the City. If this is true, then Aphon could possibly reawaken ancient Vex Portals, sending Vex units of destruction to our gates. Stop this new threat, save the City!" ~ Commander Zavala [/spoiler] You spawn in near the Ishtar Commons, and you must make your way into the Ishtar Academy. There are Vex Gates sprinkled about on your way, and you must shut them down. The longer you wait, the more higher-tier Axis Minds spawn, possibly a farming spot. The Ishtar Academy's door is already open. You walk in, Ghost says: [spoiler]"Hmph, crafty little frames. I wonder how they get so many gates up so fast. I probably shouldn't, though..." "True, we don't have time to inspect enemy technology. At least, not now" ~ Zavala[/spoiler] Again, you must shut down all the Gates. Once this happens, a Vex Gate turns on, this gate is larger than the others. [spoiler]"Why is this Gate bigger than the others. Is it like a Rupture? Maybe if we..." ~ Ghost *your Guardian is prompted to step in "Guardian! Don't-" ~ Zavala[/spoiler] You are taken to Mars, Valley of the Kings. You walk out of the huge Vex Gate that takes you to the Black Garden. Of course, this would (quickly) take you to orbit then to Mars, but with a special modifier that makes you spawn in the Valley of the Kings. This could, possibly take some time. [spoiler]"-step into that Gate! Wait, are you on Mars? I thought I sent you to Venus." ~ Zavala "You did, we walked through a Vex Gate and appeared here!" ~ Ghost *muffled voice, white noise "Hold on, we're getting something.." ~ Ghost *silence *through white noise "Guardian. Remember me?" ~ Strange Voice[/spoiler] You look around, until you find a point on the over world, like an objective. The objective disappears, a Radio is seen. [spoiler]"Let's go!" ~ Ghost[/spoiler] You are required to go to the Radio and scan it. The voice comes back. [spoiler]"...you to defeat the Dark Heart. You should trust me" ~ Strange voice[/spoiler] The player should now know it's the Exo Stranger, she tells your Ghost to mark a location. You go to Cerberus Vae III, the door Tau'arc enters from is now open. You walk through to a new area, Carnil. [spoiler]"Aphon, True Analyzer, can read Golden Age technology, and report back to the Axis Minds. The Vex would use the Golden Age Tech against us. If you want your City safe, destroy it!" ~ Exo Stranger[/spoiler] [b]Description of Carnil:[/b] Before you enter, you have to travel through a long, winding hallway. Carnil is a Cabal research lab which, at the time, was studying Aphon. Though, while Valus Tau'arc was fighting the Guardian, Aphon got loose of his holds. He slaughtered the Blind Legion soldiers studying him, hence a heap of Cabal carcasses. Aphon, then, set up Gates so he could have backup in case of any intruders (Guardian, Cabal, ect). Carnil has a glass dome-shaped ceiling, like an observatory. Carnil would have 2 Place-down-turret locals and 3 respawning Intercepters, just for fun! [b][i]Aphon Battle Mechanics:[/i][/b] Aphon appears out of a cloud, like most Vex units. Aphon is an Axis Hydra. It has a longer-range teleport than most Vex. It also has the ability to summon more Vex at his feet, and can also Contain the Guardian. Halfway through his health, two Confluxes are summoned, if Aphon gets close, he'll be immune until you destroy Harpies named Supplements. These guys explode on kill, so be careful. Supplements are spawned two-at-a-time when Aphon summons Vex Reinforcements. Aphon will only travel to the Confluxes once the Supplements are spawned. At 3/4s health, instead of Supplements, Praetorians start spawning. They do not explode. An extra Conflux is spawned, meaning +1 Praetorian is also spawned in the Vex Cloud at Aphon's feet. There are no more phases, just keep on wailing on Aphon. *when Aphon dies [spoiler]"Guardian, you prevented another catastrophe from happening. Good. Great, even. The Vex of Venus and Mars will be crippled with Aphon's destruction." ~ Commander Zavala [/spoiler] [b][u]Strike Exclusive:[/u][/b] All strikes must have one exclusive in the TTK. So here's Parthenax's. [b]Aphon's Fury[/b], Legendary Auto Rifle [i]"...This gun is fit for humanoid figures. Maybe in one timeline..." ~ Unknown Author[/i] Aphon's Fury is a Year 2, white version of Atheon's Epilogue, like the Inago Loop. Inspiration for this comes from Yung Coco, who pointed this out I had an Idea! If I get, 50 replies I'll write a Grimoire Card for Aphon! And we're halfway! [i]Let's get to it! ~ Lord Shaxx (Morgan from TWD)[/i] Hope you enjoyed! Edit: I might be pumping this stuff out like sewage pipes, so ideas for [i]anything Destiny related[/i] I'll be happy with :) Edit 2: I felt like there would be an endless flow of Skyrim references to Paarthurnax, so I changed it to Carnil Edit 3: This post is still being liked?
