The story I would like to see in a cabal raid

Disclaimer: this is not a what it needs to be or what it should have been bs thread , just posting how I would imagine a raid that involved the emperor of the cabal raiding the city from his capital ship and we the guardians making one last effort to stop the cabal fro. Wiping us out. Fast forward a bit , Siva and its corruption are gone leaving the plague lands to small remnants of the house of Devils who now keep to themselves , the hives lack of leadership and infighting within the last of the hierarchy leaves them shattered and the vex remain quiet and dormant since the vault of glass. All appears to be settling down for humanity and we begin to thrive in small towns outside the city and in small pockets around the globe. At the tower Cade 6 brings news of the awoken queen to zavala and Ikora , she's back and to no ones surprise with bad news. The events of the taken king have alarmed the cabal empire , they no longer wish to tolerate the guardians and our interference with the emperors wishes to take the system and uncover the vex secrets of time. When the queen returned she was tailed by cabal scouts of the emperors personal guard under cover , the ships were only detected shortly after the queens arrival and the legions left to Mars begin to assault Venus , mercury and the cosmodrome. The guardians in shock send you out to gather information by patrolling each planet and finding out why the cabal have suddenly taken the offensive on such a drastic scale. The emperor is coming and with him his legion of personal guards backed by the might of a enclave of psion flayers dedicated to capturing Rasputin and ending the last city once and for all. His ships bombard the bases and outposts , areas of strategic importance such as the last remnants of orbital defense and the very soil is covered in flames as the ground shakes from shells. (Fast forward and here is where the raid starts) The tower is under bombardment from the emperors capital ship above , Ikora says she can get a few guardians to escort shaxx, cade6 and herself to siege the ship and take out the emperor but the shields will need to stay online to protect the tower, the guardians must fight teams of psions to re activate the generators and kill their commander. After the shields are back the guardians are teleported by Ikora onto a open hanger bay where they must swiftly enter the bowls of the corridors and make their way to a command bridge in order to find the emperor. Along the way they encounter the elite guard and a general related to valus ( they want revenge and seal you inside a munitions loading bay for some of the orbital bombardment guns ). After taking them out you head to the command bridge and must use your ghosts to locate the proper threads of data and disable the many cabal firewalls ( this would be a puzzle where if you mess up alarms are sounded once more and cabal swarm the bridge making it much harder to finish the puzzle , progress will not be reset unless on hard difficulty ). After they find the location of the emperor who resides in his own massive throne room , cade6, Ikora and shaxx argue over the best way to pursue the last push to the throne room. The guardians can choose to fight alongside only one of the three that will branch on separate paths with their own scenarios and mini boss along the way. If you go with cade6 then he proposes the vents are the best way to go there quickly and hopefully unnoticed by further security measures , you would follow him and be intercepted by a psion stealth op. If you go with Ikora , she proposes going outside the ship and around to the chamber of psion ambassador next to the throne room would lead to the least amount of time wasted but would also kill the executors who guard the king during the final boss fight , this would be the hardest option that leads to two boss fights before the emperor but makes the emperor not have the support of executors who can buff him during the fight. Shaxx proposes a direct assault through the generator to stop the cannons from bombarding the city and the tower on the way to the throne room and break down the door , shaxx would break the door down himself with a mighty hammer he forged but would be to beaten after to assist with the final fight. Guardians would escort shaxx on his rampage through the emperors ship. On to the final fight, where you enter and get a cutscene for whatever path you had taken. The emperor scoffs at you , sitting in his enormous throne of gold. On either side of him is a psion executor. The emperor tells you that he has rigged the ship to self destruct upon his death and that there is no hope for the light. Your host calls him on the bluff and the fight starts. The emperor has a shield that must be broken using matching elements to what it changes to at the time, damaging the wrong element will replenish the shield unless it's physical dps. After the shield is broken you initiate a phase where you must deal as a much damage as possible before the shields are back up. On 25% health he will use flame throwers and begin charging the nearest guardian. After the emperor is dead the day is won and the speaker congratulates you on your valor and dedication to the fight. Some ran , others fell but you remained and thus get a crap ton of loot that the cryptarc will laugh at as he decodes more 340 gear.

  • Personally i love the idea, it could also include infighting as well. As i have read (being a lore junkie) whenever a cabal regiment or cabal soildrr itself disobeys orders from high up they become excommunicated; this could lead to a civil war of sorts splitting the soilders in the galaxy between the ones against the emperor and those with undying loyalty. Y'know just some dream of fighting alongside space rhinos.
