Sup guys? Lighting Wolf here, back with another story, this one about Destiny. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own Destiny, Bungie and Microsoft do.

(Red Legion Flagship, Immortal.)

Ghaul considered himself an honorable warrior, he could admit when he was defeated… But his deeds… Conquering a thousand worlds, razing dozens more…. And he was the ruler of the Cabal… Leader of the Red Legion… He didn't fail, it was a dishonor on his Legion.

And yet he did, he collapsed among the dozen or so dead Red Legion Legionaries and other Red Legion soldiers.

In front of him was Adam, the Titan who he had tried to kill when he had invaded the system, a warrior that Ghaul thought of as an ant, an insect that could be stripped of his weapons and slain.

And yet he stood, Auto Rifle smoking as Ghaul tried to rise and collapsed.

And then more Red Legion Legionaries emerged from hatches under the deck, their Slug Shotguns ready as a dozen stood behind Adam, facing the Titan.

Ghaul watched in shock as they bowed to the Titan who turned to them in shock.

"Uh…"

The titan said as a Centurion with a Bronto Canon emerged out of the crowd to speak.

"The Cabal are built from strength… You have defeated our Dominus, even after we stripped you of your light and tried to shatter your sun… And yet you won… You will be our new Dominus… Master…"

The Centurion said as the Legionaries pointed their guns at Ghaul.

"Ghost? Translate the Empire of soldiers to me?"

Adam asked as Psions started to appear with Headhunter snipers as a dozen stopped in front of Adam.

"Since you defeated Ghaul and did the most damage to the Red Legion, their looking for a new leader… And since you seem to be the most formidable enemy they have ever faced, they want you to be that leader…"

Adam's ghost put in as Ghaul roared at them before collapsing as the Psions motioned for Adam to follow them.

He shrugged and did so as the Legionaries took Ghaul away, he was shocked… But his anger was gone.

He had nothing to complain about, he had fallen to an honorable enemy… One he could never have predicted would best him.

(Immortal throne room.)

Adam looked at the dozens of Legionaries, Colossi, Phalanx, Psions, Gladiators, Centurions, and Incendiors.

All looked at him for instruction as he looked out over his army as a heavily armored Incendior pushed past the rows of Red Legion troops and stopped in front of Adam.

"I am Val Ca'uor, Commander of the Red Legion soldiers…."

Ca'uor said as Adam looked at the rows of Red Legion soldiers before looking at Ca'uor in confusion.

"So… Can I ask something?"

Adam asked as Ca'uor looked at the Titan who was in command of the Red Legion… Of the entire Cabal Empire as they would soon find out…

"Why am I in charge of the Red Legion… Is it really because I just took down Ghaul?"

Adam asked as Ca'uor cleared his throat and turned to the rest of his soldiers.

"Return to your stations and await your Dominus's command…"

Adam heard from the Incendior as he turned to Adam.

"It isn't just because you defeated Ghaul… It is part of that… But it isn't the entire reason… The Cabal respect strength… They respect a warrior that can look defeat in the eye and fight through that and still win…. And you did, you fought the Vex… You tore them apart mostly… You hurt the Fallen… You took on the worst of the Hive and won… And you faced all of us and won…."

Adam heard before Ca'uor before the Red Legion soldier looked around the room before continuing the talk.

"You forged on when the Red Legion bombarded your city… You gained your light back… You damaged the Almighty… Maybe for good… And you brought down our commander… Our Legion needs a leader… And you are that leader… You were an insect who took down a beast… So, you must lead us… Or else we will fall into chaos…"

Ca'uor stated as Adam was silent for a second before he turned his helmeted head to the Red Legion officer to speak up.

"I want you to contact the Vanguard… The leaders of the City, do you know them?"

Adam asked as Ca'uor walked back away from the throne before nodding.

"Yes… I will inform them of… This… I have already contacted the rest of the Legion… They are at your command…. As is the Immortal and the rest of the Cabal's fleets…. Glad to chat with you, Dominus…"

The Incendior said before walking away as Adam watched the Val leave.

There were duties he had to take care of… Adam blinked in surprise.

He helped fight for the Last City, he was just another soldier in the Vanguard's army…

And now he was made the Dominus of the Red Legion… And leader of the Cabal.

Author Notes

Phew, first chapter done! I know it isn't perfect, first chapters aren't my thing… As for Adam? I will explain him next chapter. I also want to point out this is set during the first game… Next chapter will show Adam talking to the Vanguard and then traveling to Mars. Until next chapter on Sunday. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
