REALM

The series' backstory was detailed in a prequel post by Kelzad called "REALM: Deterioration". Though events from the Madness Combat series are referenced, none of the main characters ever make an actual appearance, save for a brief glimpse in episode 1 of the Auditor when he explodes in Madness Combat 10. This suggests that the first episode takes place concurrently with Madness Combat 10, while all the other animations take place afterwards.
==Plot==
===REALM: Project 00X===
The first animation involves two A.T.P. Grunts, Kelzad Oox and Yeelon Mekyr, trying to escape from the AAHW Science Tower after Yeelon's tank explodes due to Zalmamdar Oox injecting the energy of a liquified Halo into it. At the end of the animation, Yeelon becomes overtaken by a mysterious dark entity and cuts off the top half of Kelzad's head before flying out of the building in a puff of dark fire.
===REALM: Project M3KYR===
The sequel animation sees Kelzad attempting to escape again after being rebuilt by Zalmamdar. Along the way, Yeelon launches an attack on the Science Tower to kill Kelzad. Yeelon's attack is driven away by Zalmamdar's forces and Kelzad teams up with Zalmamdar to stop Yeelon.
===REALM: Fraternization===
Kelzad receives the Chargers, weapons which Zalmamdar had developed for Kelzad to use to fight against Yeelon. Yeelon launches a second attack on the Science Tower with an army of corpses he reanimated as zombie-like creatures. During the course of the attack, Yeelon breaks off the Solarium from the rest of the Science Tower and drags Kelzad to the roof of the building. Yeelon then takes control of Nevada, signified by the sky turning from red to purple, and the animation ends as he and Kelzad face off.
===REALM: Illuviation===
Kelzad fights Yeelon, while overlooked by a mysterious group of beings known as "The Employers". It is revealed that the being possessing Yeelon was originally an Employer before his brethren cast him out of their domain. At the end of the animation, Yeelon is weakened and the Employers make their move to retake control of Nevada.
