Golden Destiny: Script; "Awakening" (Part 3)

Part 2: [spoiler]https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/209827701?sort=0&page=0[/spoiler] Upon moving across the first segment of the Divide from the Wall's exit, Guardian enters the second segment which leads down to a lower stretch of ground upon which a Devil party of Fallen units marches towards the Wall, the party consisting of Shanks, Dreg Shockers, and Vandal Riflemen. Before they attack the Guardian, all attention is drawn to a thunderous droning emanating from a massive portal opening in the sky over the distant Cosmodrome, the strength of the electromagnetic energy pulsating from it toppling whole docked space shuttles, and from it an enormous Fallen ketch emerges. It casts a shadow over a large portion of the Cosmodrome as it soars forth, roaring over Guardian's head with blue and yellow banners billowing at its sides and Fallen skiffs following around it. "A ketch of the House of Kings...!" Ghost says distantly. "Ketch? Kings? What?" Guardian responds desperately. "Almost all Fallen belong to a House, and with a House, there is a Kell to lead it, and with a Kell, there is a ketch to be driven at the Kell's command... with the Kell sitting upon his throne within it. That massive flagship, Guardian, is the ketch of the House of Kings' kell." "So... the king of Kings is in there?" "In a sense, yes." One of the skiffs following the ketch lowers its altitude to hover over the party of Devils in front of Guardian, and from it a party of Fallen from the House of Kings drops around the group of the opposing House, consisting of Vandal Swordsmen and Riflemen. Right as both parties meet, they begin attacking each other, and Guardian can either partake in the battle or move around it and continue on to the next objective area. "Why are they attacking each other?" Guardians says anxiously. "Oh, my bad, I forgot to mention that each Fallen House opposes any other, and they have many battles like this with each other... Though in this battle, the Devils in the red and black armor may not win." Once continuing to the next objective area, the Guardian takes a turn at the end of the lower-ground segment of the Divide and come to a doorway which leads into a building of many turning halls and rooms known as Dock 13. After passing through several rooms, the Guardian comes to a room which leads into a ship hangar, where a trio of Dreg Shockers roam. After getting through the Dregs and entering the hangar, the Guardian sees a windowless Arcadia-Class Jumpship hanging from chords and chains connected to the hangar ceiling's closed portion [the middle of the ceiling is wide open for a ship to enter and exit the hangar from]. "Just our luck!" Ghost says. A Fallen Devil Captain wielding a Scrapper [Shrapnel Launcher] turns his attention towards the Guardian as it stands in front of the ship, and beckons two Vandal Swordsmen tampering with the ship down from its hull and into position at its sides. "And our misfortune..." Ghost says again in dismay. The Captain shrieks a hoarse battle-cry, and the Vandals spring forward to attack the Guardian as their superior begins shooting its firearm. "Well done, Guardian! I thought we were going to be heavily mutilated corpses for a second there." Ghost says after all three Fallen units are slain, and it hovers over to the Jumpship. "Hmm... Those Vandals must have been scrap-hunting on this poor spacecraft. I'll need some time to repair its ignition and battery systems before we can fly this beauty." the Ghost says, and begins tampering with the ship's disemboweled hull. "Well 'some time' better mean a few minutes; I don't think the fight with these bugs is over yet." Guardian says. Just after the Guardian says this, waves of Shanks, Dreg Shockers, Vandal Swordsmen, and Vandal Riflemen begin filing into the hangar to attack them, and the Guardian must fight against the Fallen as Ghost repairs the Jumpship. After all waves of Fallen are defeated, Ghost finishes repairing the ship. "Alright, the ship is functional and ready to take us back to the Tower." Ghost says. "It better be; the longer I stay in this place, the closer I am to dying." Guardian retorts, and steps up to the ship. "I'll transmat you into the cockpit." Ghost says, and the Guardians teleports into the ship's pilot seat. "Woah! That felt... tingly." Guardian exclaims in shock. "Do you have any memory of how to fly a jumpship, Guardian?" "Err... No, I don't." "Then I'll have to teach you. Ohh, I've been waiting to teach my very own Guardian something for a long time coming, now..." "Okay, but... tell me; how do you get the engines on?" "Well, you see that throttle?" "Yeah. Do I pull it?" "Yes." "Alrighty then..." The ship's engines roar to life, and the thruster exhausts glow orange. "Woah." "Feels nice, doesn't it?" "Hell yeah it does!" "Now gently press on that left pedal with your foot. That should get us up in the air." "Okay." The ship slowly rises into the air, and its top thumps against the hangar ceiling. "What was that?" "Oops! My bad, I forgot to tell you to steer." "Was that the ceiling we just hit? Ohh, what a great teacher you are." "Excuse me, Guardian, but it is only my first time as a mentor of jumpship operation." "Oh yeah. Alright, I forgive you." "Thank you. Now--" "Turn the steering wheel, got it." "Yes Guardian, good job, and--" The ship slowly glides to the right and its right thruster thumps against the hangar wall. "Dammit!" "No Guardian, steer to the left!" "Alright, alright, sorry, that was my bad." The ship slowly glides to the left, and is now beneath the opened ceiling, a shaft of moonlight shining against the ship's dusty hull. "Am I okay to ascend now?" "Yes, I believe you are." "Okay... Well, here goes nothing...!" The ship slowly rises out of the open ceiling and into the midnight air. "I'm not hitting anything... Are we out?" "We are Guardian. Excellent job!" "Whoo! Alright, I think I can get used to this. So... where do I go now?" "I will create a waypoint to the Tower on the ship's radar. Adjust the ship's position to facing the waypoint and take off whenever you're ready." "Right!" The ship then turns a full 180° around, and its thrusters roar as it prepares to take off. "Excelsior!" Guardian cries out in glory as the ship blasts off into the night sky. As the ship disappears through the thick night clouds, a cloaked figure silently gazes onward at the ship's path, standing upon the roof of Dock 13 with a rifle buzzing with electricity in-hand. The scene then fades to black as the Chapter ends. "A New Home":
