Cameron was up in the mountains near the Cosmodrome again using her Invictus form for the training regiment that she commonly used for herself; which consisted of punching the side of the mountain with her fists until she started to see cracks in the side of it. This was a perfect time for her to think about what was going on in her life. For a while, she had it good, if not incredible. But now, with that revelation her husband gave her a few days ago she didn't really know what to think about anything. Her mind started to drift as she cracked the rock in front of her. What else was her husband not telling her? 

Cameron landed one final punch into the side of the mountain and stopped hitting the side of the mountain when the rock broke open. "I'm strong enough to punch through solid rock, but what else did I know?" She thought. "Ath?" She asked her Ghost as she sat down on the snow. The small geometric form floated out of her chest. 

"Yes?" She asked her guardian. 

"You were my Ghost before I got brought back right?" She asked through the visor of her helmet. She took the helm off her head and lay it in her arms. 

"No...she and I do share the same name, personality, but our memories are not the same." She replied. 

"So, you don't remember anything?" 

"Nope." She replied. Cameron sighed and lay back against the side of the mountain. "Ath, what about Solar Light?" 

"Solar Light? What about it?" Athena asked, unclear of what the intentions of her guardian were. 

"I mean, every guardian has control over the three different elemental types, right?" She questioned looking over at the Ghost. 

"Yes. That is true." 

"What happened to the Solar Light of the Titans?" Cameron asked her curiously. "I mean, Hunters can use it, Warlocks can use it. Why can't I?" Cameron questioned. 

"That's...a long story." The ghost replied as honestly as she possibly could. 

"Well, I'm more than willing to hear it," She replied. "If it's a way that I can better deal with the Taken the better." 

"Okay, so how would you like me to tell you this?" She asked. 

"Skip the filler, give me what I need to hear." She replied thoughtfully. 

"Okay." She said turning on a holographic projection. "The Hammer of Sol was the weapon of the Sunbreaker Order, a corps of Titans who sought to bring peace and order through the wilds of the Earth. Fighting for humanity on their own terms as they put it. They didn't have time for the "bureaucracy" of the Consensus; there were people out there who desperately needed help yet they focused only on zones we had plenty of command over." She said showing the holograms on a much grander scale. 

The entire battlefield of what looked like a large mountain pass near the City flooded Cameron's senses. The battle cries, the fear, the dying. But, this wasn't the Battle of Twilight Gap. She remembered that. "The Battle of Six Fronts was the last straw," Athena told her. The destruction of the land that surrounded her was immense. Tanks and Guardians burned and dying. "The Sunbreaker's decided they'd had enough and sought to fight the war against the Darkness outside the walls of the City." The hologram then displayed a Warlock, wearing some sort of helmet that made him look like the Egyptian god Anubis. The robes and all were gold and black. He was speaking to a Titan, one who wore a mark with a sigil she didn't recognize; it looked like a hammer on fire. 

"At one point, before he was exiled from the Tower, tried to broker a contract between the Vanguard, and the Order. Zavala found the terms unacceptable, and objected." The Ghost told her. "Imara was their leader or Empyreal Magistrate, as they called them, and she was hoping that the Sunbreakers could work with the Tower, and felt betrayed when their terms were "unacceptable."

"What happened after that Ath?" Cameron asked her. "What happened to the Sunbreakers?" She asked curiously. The Ghost floated back inside of her and bonded again. 

"They left Earth, they went to Mercury I think." She replied. 

"Well, I think it's about time someone paid them a visit," Cameron replied with a smile growing on her face as she put her helmet back on. 

"You want to be the first Titan to talk with an ancient Titan order in centuries?" Athena questioned. 

"Hey, I fought in the Battle of Twilight Gap remember? And if Saint-14 knew this Imara, then I'm sure that I would be able to talk with them." She replied as her ship flew overhead and she transmatted up. Cameron buckled into her ship's chair with the click of her buckle. "So, was there ever a hint as to where the Sunbreaker's had gone?" She asked as the ship took off for orbit. 

"As I told you, Mercury," Athena replied. 

"Well, Mercury may be the smallest planet in the Sol System, but it's still pretty big. Is there anywhere specific?" She asked as she plugged in the coordinates for the small planet that was incredibly close to the star the Earth called its sun. The Titan flew her ship toward the planet after hitting the jump drive. "So, what are you thinking will happen when you get to their hideout? Or where you think they are?" Athena asked her. 

Cameron placed her hand on her chin in thought. It had been forever. These Titans have a grudge against the City and Zavala. Now that the City want's their help, will they be willing to aid them? Especially considering how bad things have gotten? Maybe because she'd fought in the Battle of Twilight Gap, that'd be her edge. She stopped thinking for a moment as the ship pulled out of the jump and headed down to the surface of the planet. She transmatted down to the ground. The silver sand flowing in between her boots compressed underneath them. She looked off in the distance and noticed that there was a tall tower off in the distance. 

She squinted and put her hand above her eyes to see what it was. It looked like there were some banners on it off in the distance. They were difficult to make out due to them being far away and there being a glint from the sun. "Athena, can you get me my Sparrow?" Cameron asked. 

"Yeah, you give me a second. I need to establish a link. Do you have an extra patrol beacon?" Athena asked her. 

"I may in the ship's cargo hold." She replied. 

"No good, we can't establish a link between the ship and the ground. Too much electromagnetic interference." She replied. Cameron sighed in dismay, but she started walking toward the tower that she spotted in the distance. She'd traverse the vast desert, and if need be, she will climb the entire tower. She'd walked for nearly three hours in the immense heat when she reached the base of the several hundred meters tall tower. At the base, it looked intimidating. However, she needed to climb it to get to what lay in wait at the top. Cameron latched her fingers into the uneven metal plating and walls of the Vex tower. Eager to learn what this ancient order of Titans had to offer her. She'd climbed up for nearly forty-five minutes before reaching what looked like a platform on the top of it. She peaked her head over the top to see four other Titans. 

All of them with guns pointed at her. They were all wearing similar armor; it was black and yellow with what looked like an eye with a white sun in the center surrounded by a black outline. That same symbol was one that was on their marks that were around their hips. "Hello." She said not even phased by the number of weapons that they had pointed at her. "Before you shoot me, can I please stand up first?" She asked politely. The four soldiers looked at each other then nodded. 

One of them put their rifle on their back and pulled her up off the cliff side. "Thank you." She replied. 

"Now." One of the Titans said to her raising her auto rifle again. "Who are you? And what brings you to this place?" She asked. 

"My name is Cameron Isabella Vasquez, Titan of the City, I have come seeking your Magistrate." She replied coldly. The four Titans stepped to their sides and raised their weapons in an almost salute like fashion. A Titan stepped forward. A woman with dark skin, not like Camerons, but darker. Her hair was cut like Ikora's, with it being so short that you couldn't even see it. Under her left eye was a tattoo that looked like the eye of Horus. Her other eye had a scar, one that covered over her eye that was replaced by what looked like a red Vex photoreceptor. Her armor was golden and glinted in the light of the sun almost like a large mirror. 

"I am her, what brings you to this sacred place?" She asked. Her tone was firm and formal something that signaled to Cameron that she was the one in charge. 

"I have come to request for your help." She replied honestly. Her formality in lock with the Sunbreaker who stood before her. 

"A Titan from the City, another one of Zavala's lackeys I take it?" She asked. 

"You misunderstand, I am not here for him. I have come to request that you help my people. A threat has emerged from the depths of space and has come to claim the souls of everyone that we know and love. The Taken, as they are called, have arrived in the Sol system in the name of their master Oryx." She replied earnestly and sincerely. "The threat is so strong that not even Guardians are safe. Imara, we need the Sunbreakers." 

The Titan looked at her oddly for a moment. She'd realized something about the helmet the woman who was standing in front of her was wearing. That fin, those spikes, that same unmistakable pink slit down the middle. Imara placed her hands on Cameron's shoulders and tossed her over to a wall behind her. Cameron impacted the metal wall with a clang and fell to the silver sand-covered floor. Imara jumped into the air and landed on top of her with a Kopesh in her hand with the curved blade pressed up against Cameron's neck. 

"That helmet! Where'd you get it?!" She shouted pushing the sword closer. Cameron could feel the cold steel against her throat as the blade threatened to cut through her body glove. She looked up at her through her helmet visor.

"Saint-14." She muttered struggling to say anything as the blade pushed deeper. 

"SAINT-14 OWNED THAT HELMET! HOW DID YOU GET IT!" She exclaimed. 

"He...died," Cameron replied. "Saint was my friend...he sacrificed himself to save the City, this...was all that was left." She said to her. Imara relinquished her grip on the Titan beneath her and stood up. Imara looked dismayed and gripped tightly on the end of her curved sword. She looked up at Cameron as she took her helmet off. The white-haired Latina locked eyes with the other woman standing in front of her. 

"What battle was it?" Imara asked her. 

"Twilight Gap, Imara." She replied grimly. "His choice was to put everyone before himself. You and I both knew him well enough that if he were willing to, he would do it again." She said as Imara turned her back to Cameron. She took a deep breath before placing her sword on her back. The Titan turned back over toward Cameron. She knew that look before, the shock, the disbelief. But that faded. She recognized that too, a sense of greater purpose than what she wanted to do at the moment. 

"So. You want our help?" Imara asked her. 

"Yes. I want to learn to be a Sunbreaker, as you have." She replied sincerely. Imara let out a shy smirk and a single chuckle. 

"Well, for starters, let's see what you're made of," Imara told her before pulling out what looked like a flaming hammer from around her belt. Cameron pressed her fist into her palm and an electric spark emitted from her hands as she readied herself. This was going to be one of the most intense battles she'd had to fight in years. Imara rushed her quickly and crashed the hammer into Cameron's stomach sending her flying toward the wall that she was thrown into earlier. The metal behind her dented with the force, she groaned for a moment, and Imara threw her hammer toward Cameron. 

The Titan dodged the Hammer as it exploded behind her propelling her forward. Imara ran toward Cameron as she was propelled forward and crashed her hammer down on her head sending her down to the ground. "COME ON HERO! IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO?!" Imara shouted as she was about to send her hammer crashing into Cameron's skull, a bolt of lightning came in from the sky and hit Cameron square in the back. She raised her hand and caught the Solar hammer as it came down. Lightning sparked off her body and crackled the air around Imara, as Cameron looked up from the ground. Her eyes were blue with arc energy, and she stood up off the ground. Imara looked at the Titan shocked. However, before she could even throw a single punch; she heard something. Someone was clapping.

She turned around to see a man standing behind her clapping his hands together as he walked down the stairs. The man had an arm replaced with the arm of a Vex minotaur, albeit a bit smaller. His hair was a dark shade of black, and he had a thick beard with long flowing robes, black and gold like the figure she had seen but an hour earlier. It couldn't be. He was dead. 

"Osiris?"
