Destiny Season 3 : Echos of Darkness This is my idea for Destiny Year 3. Ive broken it down into three DLCs spread out. Each DLC will be made together forming one large narrative however each would end on a cliff hanger. I also will list after each DLC how the raids and strikes tie into one another and how all content is relative. Yes there will be progression however the way that the game is now designed will allow players to go back and forth and experience new things with each expansion. This will be explained at the end of each DLC reference I have listed. For now just see my idea on how the story evolves and how the story is more action packed and engaging than anything Destiny writers had before. DLC 1 : The Scattered Empire (Cabal focused content and explains who they are and what they are searching for) Scene opens with a ship landing at the tower. Its a celebration. The guardians have returned victorious over their defeat of Oryx. Cayde: Job well done Guardians. Like I said. Shoot first ask questions later. Ghost: something seems odd though. We came across a few scans of things that just dont seem right within the Dreadnuaght. And what of the cabal? They are still out there. Zavala: yes the cabal are out there. We managed to intercept a distress beacon from inside the Dreadnaught. From what we gathered it was aimed directly at their Fleet right outside our solar system. Cayde: zavala you worry too much. Cant you let my guardians revel in the moment. They just defeated oryx. Come lets celebrate. As they walk off this ship a small beacon in the back begins to glow. In it you see a fleet of unknown origin appear, flicker a few times then vanish. ------ aboard the Cabal High Command Ship You see a throne room being approached by two high ranking cabal. In a foreign and alien language they speak (subtitles are defaulted on to understand what they are saying) High Cabal: Emperor we received transmission. Our incursion failed however Oryx has been defeated. The screen pans to the Emperor. He does not look like a normal Cabal. Something dark hovers around him. Whispering, taunting. Emperor: that was to be expected. Oryx was just a pawn, nothing more. And his ship? Does it still lie beyond the reaches of Saturn? High Cabal 2: yes my lord. The guardians have defeated Oryx and have raided the ship but know nothing of what we sought. Emperor: this is good. Send a fleet to Titan. We must have that weapon at all costs. The Emperor turns to a small shard spinning as it hymns to him and speaks. The words arent fully recognizable but the emperor responds. Emperor: soon master. Soon. Back on Earth at the tower. The guardian is seated around the main table with Ikora, Zavala and Cayde apparently celebrating their victory. Cayde: you see guardians. We dont need any spells or space magic. Nothing beats a good gun. As they all chuckle. Eris walks in with her glowing ball. Cayde: Can we ever get a moment without glowing in animate objects hovering all over the place? Eris: it still calls to me? Zavala: and? Oryx is dead. We saw to that. And with him his hive. Eris: no. Oryx was the Taken King but this is much bigger than him. The Darkness. It still grows. Cayde: okay tell me how this is? We beat the bad guy. Shoved detonated orbs of light up his.. Zavala: cayde stop. Eris continue. Eris: ever since Oryxs defeat the crystal hasnt stopped glowing. It beckons and calls out still to the night. Something far worse is coming. Cayde: i knew it. Shes clearly off her rocker. Ikora: Eris so what your saying is that something dark is still out there. Eris: yes. Just then Eris throws her crystal upon the table and a small echo is heard. Echo: Guardians, guardians. Im alive. I dont know how but I am. Im on Titan. If you are hearing this please come ...... Cayde: is that? Eris: yes. The queen. She lives. Zavala: well that settles it then. We go in and get her. Guardians suit up. ----- cut to the director---- Saturn selectable player clicks on Saturn. Sees a new clickable. Titan. Moon of Saturn. Mission: A Beacon of Hope A faint echo and transmission was received. We think it is the queen of the awoken. If it is find her and bring her back. Zavala: guardians if this truly is the queen she must be in bad shape. Early reconnaissance indicates small Cabal activity here. Ikora: what are the Cabal doing on Titan? That moon has nothing on it. Its a wild forest moon. Cayde: stay frosty guardians. If the cabal are there they are the least of your worries. The ahamkara roam that moon. They have teeth and claws that are the stuff of nightmares. So keep those weapons hot. The guardians land in a lush environment. Unlike anything currently in destiny. The land is lush and full of vegetation. They begin their decent down a winding path. They see a small animal and pause. Ghost: be careful not to disrupt the wild creatures here guardians. Those cute little guys.... Just then a pack of very large beasts storm right in front of the guardians chasing the small creature. These large beasts didnt see the guardians and plowed right through the forest revealing a small temple in the distance. Ghost: well thats new? Cayde: id watch your ghost guardians. His curiosity almost got you on the bottom of some foot. Zavala: what is that temple in the background? Ikora: i dont know. We have no records of anything being on this moon at all. Zavala: tread lightly guardians. The guardians work their way towards the small temple and notice that it is Vex in nature. Its vex technology but its far more ancient and sophisticated than anything they have ever seen. Three large statues each holding a sword aimed at the sky stand before them. ( this is the first puzzle mission. The only way to go forward is to figure out that the swords are the key here. The Vex were clearly on to something. They knew that to battle the darkness one must harness all three powers of Arc, Solar and Void creating a 4th element- Miasma) Upon walking and observing the guardians come across a pictograph. The ghost activates it and it shows the statues bowing their swords and the temple opening. Using clues scattered throughout the local area The guardians must figure out that each must equip one element of sword and place each in the swords key hole. The guardians do so and in sequence all move up together. The statues move forward, kneel and present their swords as a gift. The temple shakes and it Opens.
