Ghaul also retaliates against the Consul for having disapproved of his fascination with earning the Light, rather than taking it. However, the Speaker explains how this will never happen, which leads to his untimely death. Meanwhile, Ghaul and his Consul probe the Speaker, as Ghaul wishes to understand how he can earn the Light from the Traveler. Ghaul then pushes the Guardian off of the ship, sending them falling into the City streets, where they eventually recover, and escape. Rendering the Ghost unconscious, and the Guardian defenseless. After doing so, the Guardian is confronted by Ghaul, right as the Traveler's Cage, a device made by the Cabal to block the Traveler's Light, is activated. The Guardian, with the assistance of Amanda Holliday, reaches the Red Legion command ship, the Immortal, to lower its defenses. The attack eventually pushes the Guardians out of the City, and the Cabal capture the Speaker in the process.

The story of Destiny 2 begins with the Guardian returning to the City as the Cabal Red Legion, led by Dominus Ghaul, siege the Tower.
