Fallen Raid - Zenith, please share feedback
Fallen Raid idea
[b][u]Backstory[/u][/b] This raid would confirm some lore speculation and offer a new view of some of Destiny's outlooks. This raid would be based around the theory that the Traveler had previously aided the fallen and then left, causing them to devolve into what they are now. Leading up to the raid the Traveler would start showing signs of life, small movements or sounds, and the Speaker would seem worried. The Speaker will request all guardians report to him immediately, as he knows of something that would truly threaten the City, and the Traveler. When the guardians reach the speaker, he talks to them about the Traveler sensing a great threat approaching our world, or possibly already arrived. He tells of how the Traveler, before coming to earth, had aided a civilization light years away, and made them powerful, more powerful then the Guardians of the Tower.
The civilization he aided however had begun to grow power hungry, always wanting, and seeking more then the Traveler thought they should poses. When the Traveler realized what they had become with his gifts he left, and searched for new civilizations, and peoples to aid. Before the Traveler left however, a large group of the civilization had left, to explore and search for new worlds to conqueror with their new power. They left in a ship called the Zenith, freezing them in a stasis, until the ships AI would awaken them when a suitable planet was found.
Though we don't know what the civilization was called, the Speaker tells us the beings who are ancestors of the Fallen, call themselves the "New Dawn", and they've landed on Earth. The Speaker tells you these beings will poses powers that rival or exceed that of the guardians, and will have technology we haven't seen since the Golden Age. They have landed in a place called Old Chicago, and have begun searching out from their ship in search of life. He warns if they are able to setup a foothold on earth, we may not be able to protect the City from an organized attack.
With the Speakers warning and life on Earth at stake, the Guardians set off for Old Chicago.
[b][u]Raid Start[/u][/b] : The Guardians approach a large ruined city, at the location the Speaker told them Old Chicago would be, and above the city a enormous white and gold ship, unlike any we've seen, floats above, with a tether linking it to the ground. Along the ships sharp edges flicker bright blue pulsing energy, running from the front to the back and disappear behind. The ship seems to emit light all around it, and tho it is night, the ship makes it look almost as if it were day.
You land on the outskirts of the city not wanting to get too close to the ship known as Zenith, and make your way through the city on your Sparrows. As you get close to the tether you feel a sense of almost being at the City, and can feel the Travelers light embracing you. You feel the powers the Traveler has gifted you get stronger (your supers are now... super? Titans bubbles can now be shot out of, Blade dancers can leap further, and deal significantly more damage, Nova bombs explode into huge balls of void energy cascading around exploding, and creating new bombs). You reach the tether without facing any resistance, but as you approach it, it becomes activate and a blinding light moves its way down from the ship towards the ground.
As the light reaches the ground you can make out shapes of figures resembling Fallen, but as the light clears you realize you face a much more dangerous foe. Those resembling dregs, have four arms instead of only 2 and are covered in a Bright white armor with the same pulsing blue energy moving over the corners and sharp edges as the ship has, they carry guns you've never seen before and stand up straight and tall, they're called the Vanir.
Behind the Vanir you see two other figures resembling what we know as the Vandals, but again, they are standing tall with golden armor covering their bodies, their armor looks even more advanced then the Vanir's, still gleaming with the blue energy powering them, they're called Aesirs.
One more figure emerges behind the Aesirs, a very tall figure resembling a Captain appears. His armor is bright white, with gold accents, it looks as if the armor was fit for a myth, or a fairy tale, with perfect symmetry, and very flashy, spikes rising over his shoulders, a helm ornate with technology that appears far beyond our own. He wields a gun that sucks in blue energy out of thin air, hes called a Hersir.
Once the light fully dissipates the Hersir lifts his gun up and lets out an almost robotic yell, afterwards the Vanir and Aesirs begin opening fire, shooting what appears to be Arc energy but burns hotter and glows brighter then any you've ever seen before. Every hit seems to leave a sting damaging you for a few moments after you've been hit.
After the Vanir and Aesirs are brought down, the Hersir aims weapon, it takes a few moments to charge and shoots a giant ball of Arc energy at the guardians causing a huge explosion. He is harder to bring down then any Captain previously but not too challenging. After all the enemies are dealt with the group enters the tether and is lifted into Zenith.
[b][u]Inside Zenith will be added in following post.[/u][/b] (order got messed up sorry about that) any forum admins that can fix?
Let me know what you think so far, appreciate all feed back, criticism and thoughts!

4 Replies[b][u]Final Boss[/u][/b] : After you have defeated the Council, you break through a small vent on the side of the room and travel through the ventilation system again. At the end of this vent you break out into what appears to be a prison section on the ship. As you enter you're attacked by multiple enemies of all varieties, including a Warden, a large Hersir. The Warden runs to a machine and activates a shield for each locker, after activating it he smashes the machine, causing it to leak what appears to be a white energy into the air. Once you've killed all enemies and the Warden you turn your attention to the cells. Each cell is covered with a shield, with 4 cells total, one is covered by a solar shield, another a void shield, and a third with an arc shield. The final shield appears to be a combination of the 3. Each cell must be broken open by an empowered super of the respective damage. (Golden gun for the solar, Nova bomb for the void, and Fist of Havoc for the Arc.). Inside each cell is the chance for a loot chest, you cannot see into the cells through the shield and must break them open one by one to find the chest. Inside each cell you find the dead bodies of what appear to be fallen draped in red and yellow banners. The machine the Warden used to activate the shields will refill the guardians super when you stand next to it. The fourth cell must be hit with all 3 supers simultaneously to break it open. Inside you find a Fallen Archon dawning House of Kings banners on his shoulders. He's badly injured, and you can tell he's been tortured or beaten, when you open the door he sits in the corner and stairs at you, his mask is removed and you can see all of his black eyes. He slowly stands up and slumps his way towards the entrance of the cell, and stops just before the guardians. You can tell hes not a threat and he just nods at you and walks pass. As he exits the cell he points at a door adjacent to his cell, and walks over to it. With one swift kick he forces open the door and falls down, inside the door appears to be a throne room. The Archon gets up and slouches towards the other cells. As you enter the throne room, it glows bright, with white walls, and blue fluorescent lighting. And bright pink and gold inlays in designs forming symbols on the walls. Stairs travel from the side you're standing on, upwards to the other side of the room where a large Hersir model is standing. From behind you the Archon re-appears and very slowly stutters the word "Odin'va" [b][u]Odin'va[/u][/b] This Hersir is almost twice as tall any you've seen thus far. His large white armor flickers, seemingly changing energy from Solar, to Arc, to Void. He carries on his back a large cannon, and brandishes two swords made of pure Arc energy. The Archon behind you charges foward and is instantly struck down as he reaches Odin'va. He then turns his attention, to you. [b][u]Phase 1[/u][/b] (100%-66% health) Odin'va starts the fight using Arc energy. He will use 3 special abilities as well as melee attacks. His first ability is Ignite the World: He will ignite all of the floor with Arc energy, followed by all the air with Arc energy. He will telegraph which he will ignite first by where he places his swords, guardians must either jump, then land, or be on the ground then jump to avoid the damage. His second ability is Plasma Leash : He will hurl a beam of Arc energy at a player wrapping it around them and pulling them towards him, players must shoot and break this leash before the guardian is dragged to the boss. If he successfully pulls the player to him he will kill them. His third ability is Breaking Dawn: He will start to channel a spell, sucking all Arc energy from the air into himself, a Titan must use their super Fist of Havoc on him to break the channel, if the channel is not stopped he will instantly wipe the group. (This ability is used at 77% health) [b][u]Phase 2[/u][/b] At 66% health Odin'va will cover himself in a crystal like armor, at which point the guardians must use control panels on the edges of the room to spawn Valkyr's. To break his crystal armor the guardians must gather their Valkyr's around Odin'va and use the siphon ability, to drain all the energy from the armor causing it to shatter. Once it shatters his armor cracks open leaking Arc energy into the room, one guardian must stay active in their Valkyr for the remainer of the fight siphoning the Arc energy leaking from the boss or the raid will wipe. After you have shattered his armor he will start to glow orange with Solar energy, he will begin attacking the guardians with 3 main Solar attacks. The first is called Super Nova, he will shoot columns of fire down the room, 2 by 2, 4 columns fill the room, so you must figure out which 2 will be open, and which 2 arnt, he will cast this 3 times. (the guardian using the valkyr must block his body using the Valkyr from the blasts) His second ability is Prison of Flames: He will cover a guardian in chains made of Solar energy, which must be shot and broken off, if the chains last too long the guardian will die. His 3rd ability is Breaching Dawn: he will raise his hands above his head forming a sphere of solar energy siphoning all solar energy from the environment, to stop this cast a Hunter must shoot the sphere above his head with a Golden gun super. This ability will be cast at 48%. He will also fire barrages of fire blasts at players similar to a wizard. [b][u]Phase 3[/u][/b] : After you bring him to 33% he again covers himself in a crystal armor, and the guardians must use the Valkyr's once more to siphon the energy out of him. He will now be leaking Solar and Arc energy forcing 2 guardians to remain in Valkyr's and absorb the energy leaking into the air or the group will wipe. After you break the armor he grabs the large Cannon off his back and turns it on. It glows a bright purple and can be seen sucking in all Void energy from the air. He will now use 3 void attacks against players while also shooting at them with his large void cannon causing explosions wherever they hit. His first ability is Unmaking: he will Cover the room in small purple circles that grow larger and larger leaving small areas to stand exposed. The guardians using the Valkyr's can siphon the energy near them to shrink the circles so they are not killed. His second ability is Reach into the Void : he will open a small hole of void below him and reach down into it, under a random guardian a large void hand will grab the player, the other guardians must shoot and destroy the hand before the guardian is pulled under, if not broken the guardian is pulled through the floor of the ship and thrown out the bottom. His 3rd ability is Dark Dawn : he will raise his arms up and small purple orbs will start to fill the room, a warlock must use Nova Bomb and with its upgraded form cause it to explode across the room destroying all the void orbs, if he finishes his cast the raid is wiped. At 1% he stuns all guardians with a large stomp and begins channeling a bright white spell above his head, the light is almost blinding and guardians can barely make out Odin'vas figure as the light grows and the room begins to shake, as you watch not knowing what will happen the Archon gets up and slowly walks towards Odin'va. He visibly struggles to walk towards the light as if it were forcing him back and you see him leap into it. The light suddenly disapeared and Odin'va now shaken starts to glow bright white and flexes back, and is slowly consumed by the light until he is no more. Afterwards the Archon lays on the ground, most of his armor burned off with huge burns all across his body. The speaker tells you to bring him to the Tower with you under heavy guard. [b][u]Ending Story[/u][/b] The Archon having been rescued from Zenith by the guardians now offers to help the Tower make peace with his Fallen House. Zenith, once under complete guardian control, is now being studied to help understand what their technology might hold secret, and possibly help with the fight against the coming darkness. The Traveler once again grows quiet, but with the new technology from Zenith the hopes of restoring some of the Golden Age tech, starts to fill the tower.
