In Year 1, Skolas was by far one of the most challenging feats us guardians have ever faced. People were booted from parties for not owning a Gjallarhorn, solar burn was hugely taken advantage of, and of course the end game loot was sought for in the queens treasure room. (Which was oddly placed under a prison?) Anyway. Imagine if some loyal fallen dreg, or Randal the Vandal finessed their way back into the Vex's time chamber to bring back Skolas to once again become the kell of kells. Except this time when they break him out and bring him to the cosmodrome to recruit for his fallen house, the splicer priests infect him with SIVA but are unaware of the beast they have created. Now furious with his new power he seeks vengeance in the reef and wants to claim the banes of the guardians that executed him in another time line. Variks calls on us again as the prison struggles to contain control as Skolas has come back to recruit every dreg, servitor, shank, vandal, and captain to his new cause: The destruction of the prison and the death of the traveler's guardians. The first two levels would be Hive, Then Cabal. Normal objective, dismantle mines. Kill target. Etc... But then you'd have Vex as the third round. Where at first they acknowledge you but not with hostility. They enter their passive stasis and allow you to complete the objective (dismantle mines) with ease and you leave. But the fourth round would be a fallen one. After the first two waves everything seems normal. But then you see a SIVA cluster appear in the middle of the map that starts radiating energy that drains your light. Then you hear Variks over the comms yelling at you to come back into the chamber as the "Siva Density Critical" message appears on your screen. As the door shuts behind you hear an explosion and when it opens, you can see several fallen drop ships come in. With Saladin talking over your comms saying he's responding to a distress signal Variks sent out and is on his way with reinforcements. In order to break Skolas' bond you need to kill two Prime Servitors within 30 seconds of eachother. Then you can freely shoot at skolas without worrying of him being shielded by them anymore. At 60% of Skolas' health Skolas has a shield of SIVA at this point and you become infected with SIVA as well and must transfer the infection to eachother but you are permanently immune to it after giving it away to another guardian. (Failing to transfer in time causes the infected guardian to die and another will become infected.) The third guardian that gets the SIVA infection has a SIVA cluster that forms in their hands that they must throw at Skolas as this is the only way to take his new shields down. After completing the Siva Cluster Bomb Throw twice his shields are now permenently damaged and will not regenerate. After you bring Skolas to 30% health you hear Saladin saying over your comms "Young Wolves I am inbound but Fallen skiffs are in pursuit, this is the best I can do in such a short time. Give them hell." and you see several heavy ammo crates fall from the sky and numerous battle axes appear as well to clear out the overwhelming ads that keep spawning in. Rewards could be exotics goodies, high LL loot, emblems, yadda yadda. So tell me guardians, what will you do? Kill or be killed?
