Assuming that Vel'Koz is real, could it be that the Watchers were actually sent "howling into the abyss" but Vel'Koz survived and wanted to rescue the other VOidborn? It could be that they had escaped and hid behind the purple gate, recovering and biding their time, while defending from all enemies via void lasers. They could've been getting stronger and Vel'koz was sent to see if the time was ripe
