Part Four: The New Champion
Briefing
Sorry, Character, I sort of went to a weird place there. We need to focus, right? Right! So, here's the deal.
It's going to take a while to get the sonic fencing back up to snuff. In the meantime, I've managed to locate a huge area underground where the Devouring Earth's forces are located. Not just that, but I even located, get this, an Avatar of Hamidon! Crazy!
Were you there when the first Avatar was found? It was terrifying, from what I heard! Luckily for us, that one was actually a bit of an anomaly; it had been there for a very long time.
Your average Avatar isn't as strong as that... well, we hope. At least, the one I found isn't that bad!
- You're suggesting I destroy this Avatar of Hamidon.
That's it precisely! The Devouring Earth tend to flock around these Avatars. They're leader figures in a sense.
Plus, well, to be honest, we kind of need to focus Hamidon's attention away from Last Bastion, and the best way to do that is throw a buffed up Incarnate like you straight at one of its prized possessions!
I'm sorry that I'm asking you to do such a dangerous thing, Character, but, well, it kind of comes with the territory of fighting to save a civilization from a giant earth monster.
Just make sure you're prepared, ok? The Avatar of Hamidon is no joke, so if you're going to go against it, you need to bring all the firepower you can muster!
In the meantime, I'm going to investigate some odd readings I'm getting from Anti-Matter's space station. I don't know what it could be, but someone turned something on in there. It could be him!
Unnecessary Solicitation
I'm kind of glad my only super power is to jump into computers. I could never be brave enough to do what you're about to do!
Mission Objective(s)
Vanguard's caravan once again brings you to the location of these old tunnels. You slip in quickly enough and find yourself within the belly of the beast.
Hopefully in a figurative sense.

Hello, Character. I believe it's time you and I talk. I am the Hamidon. I have taken this form to interact with you.
The heart of man is evil, Character. At its core, humans are creatures who cannot help but descend into sin, into evil, into destruction. I have seen it, I was once like that, until I ascended, became something more.
You are here now, trying to stop me, trying to stop the Good from remaking the world, from taking it back. You are fully aware of what humanity has done to the planet, to this gift that they have. It is ignored, it is used, it is destroyed... something so massive as this planet, destroyed by something so... finite.
You claim to be a hero of the people, but how can you stand to serve such a limited cause? Your actions do nothing but prolong their doom. Why do you continue, Character, when you stand for something so meaningless?
- I continue because there's hope in humanity, Hamidon.
- Hope? In your humanity? There was never any hope, Character. Even the strongest humans give in to their weaknesses, to their vices. You are all ruled by them. I have seen this in Emperor Cole and all the others who begged for humanity to be given 'one last chance'.
- In my mercy, I gave them one last chance, and they proved me right. When he was given the chance, Marcus Cole gave into his vice: pride. It was in his pride that he sought control, and through that, he eventually did an evil that was once done onto him; releasing a nuclear bomb on his own beloved city.
- Don't you see how telling that act was? How it shows how self-destructive you all are? But I am different, Character. Where you all destroy, I create.
- You call this creation? You're killing everyone!
- I am purging a problem, Character. I shall try to put it in a way you understand.
- I am removing the criminal so they never have the chance to commit the crime. Humanity as a whole has proven lacking, they do not deserve the Earth, the beauty that I have seen. I must save this beauty, save this Earth. In order to do that, the problem must be removed.
- You will not get in my way, Character, not any further. You represent humanity's new Cole, the one who says they can be saved. But I will not give you the same mercy I gave Cole. As we speak, my new life is consuming your last diseased humanity.
- You cannot save them, Character, for you too will be consumed and become part of something greater, something more beautiful than yourself.
- Others have tried, Hamidon. You'll find I'm hard to kill!
- I don't need to explain myself to you, Hamidon.
- You do not talk as much as Emperor Cole. Interesting.
- Your efforts, however, are meaningless, Character. As we speak, my new life is consuming the civilization you thought you could preserve. Your immense power is nothing compared to mine, and it never will be able to stand against it.
- I will take the rest of this planet into myself and form a new, perfect world. You, Character, will become part of that.
- (Fight the Avatar of Hamidon!)

At coords (707, -160, 710) is a Rikti bomb.
You see what appears to be a Rikti bomb, though it's a dud. Vanguard probably tried to use this to flush out the Devouring Earth from these tunnels. It would appear that the Rikti Traditionalists are providing Vanguard with more support these days.
Debriefing
Character, we've got no time to talk! Last Bastion's under attack, there's a Seed of Hamidon floating right above it!
