The ghosts of the past remained unphased by his shotgun blasts and eventually overrun Arxus. Their hands clawed at his armor, blood leaking over his being and soon, he was caught up in a sea of despair. Everything turned back, and suddenly he was taken back in time. Years ago, before he met Argus or the Europa mission. Before the victory over Crota or the Vault of Glass. Arxus had come back to the mission that had been haunting him for so long. He was back in Seattle, towards the end of the Battle for Old Seattle. He was surrounded by his comrades of ages past: Providence-47, Vandyn Cruz, Emperor-19, Brian Banks and even his old mentor, Sylus Marx. It was at the height of the battle. The Kell of Veils, Arkanz, had seized a Golden Age rail cannon and was attempting to blow up the Traveler.

"It's over!" Sylus had shouted. The Titan held with him his trusted auto rifle, Shadow Price. All of the Guardians had trained their firearms onto the Kell, who only laughed in response. "Once this rail cannon fires, it will blow a hole through your precious light-giving machine. All the Houses on Earth will reunite under this act and the City will fall." The Kell pulled out a Scorch Cannon, modified to fire off intense discharges of electricity instead. Though, he was quickly gunned down by the fireteam before he could even make a move. With the House of Veils' scheme put to an end, Fireteam Black had the chance to celebrate. It was a victory well earned... but to Arxus, it seemed off. As it had happened, the Veil Archon was to show up and kill Sylus. But that never happened.

"This isn't right." Arxus said. Although he was happy to be back with his old fireteam, the slight difference in the retelling put him in an uneasy state. Sylus turned towards his student. "What's the matter? Do you not miss me?" Everything seemed to fade. The other Guardians turned into nothing more than shadows; black sillhouetted transposed against the expansive cityscape of Seattle. Sylus continued to approach Arxus and he asked again. "Do you not want to be here?"
