== Plot ==
In the 1930s, a Scientist is ordered by his dictator
 to create a robot in the apparent name of progress. The Scientist uses 
his own intellect to create the B.R.A.I.N., a robot with a soulless 
ability. However, the dictator quickly seizes it and integrates it into 
the Fabrication Machine, an armature that can construct an army of war 
machines to destroy the dictator's enemies. Lacking a soul, the 
Fabrication Machine becomes so corrupted, sadistic, and bloodthirsty 
that it has the idea to exterminate all of Earth's population.
 The Fabrication Machine reprograms the other war machines to attack 
humanity, wiping out all plant, animal and microbial life with toxic gas
 and chemical weapons. On the verge of destruction, the Scientist who 
created B.R.A.I.N. uses alchemy to create nine homunculus-like
 rag dolls known as "Stitchpunks," giving them portions of his own soul 
via a talisman he created. He dies as soon as the final one is ready.
Some time later, that final doll, 9, awakens in the Scientist's 
workshop. Taking the talisman with him, 9 ventures into the devastated 
city and meets 2, a frail inventor who gives him a voice box and is 
surprised when 9 reveals the talisman. The last active machine, the 
Cat-Beast, attacks the pair and takes 2 and the talisman. 9 collapses, 
but awakens in Sanctuary, an empty cathedral
 that is home to other Stitchpunks, including the dogmatic leader 1, his
 large bodyguard 8, the cycloptic engineer 5, and the mentally unstable oracle 6. 1 immediately declares 2 as dead, but 9, having seen the condemned factory
 where the Cat-Beast has taken 2, decides to rescue him. 9 and 5 venture
 to the factory where they find 2. Meanwhile, 7, the only female of the 
Stitchpunks, arrives and slays the Cat-Beast. 9, drawn by curiosity, 
connects the talisman to the previously derelict Fabrication Machine, 
causing it to absorb 2's soul, reviving the machine and killing 2 in the
 process whilst 9, 5, and 7 manage to escape the factory.
7 takes 9 and 5 to an abandoned library,
 where the silent scholar twins, 3 and 4, show 9 the Fabrication 
Machine's origins. 5 realizes the talisman's symbols match the 
clairvoyant drawings of 6. 9 and 5 return to Sanctuary to investigate, 
but 1 decides to intervene by going up against them, and reprimanding 
them. The Fabrication Machine then assembles new robotic hitmen; one of 
them, the bird-like Winged Beast, attacks Sanctuary, leading to a battle
 between the Stitchpunks and the Winged Beast. 7 joins the fight, but is
 injured. Still 5, 6, and 8 win by murdering the Winged Beast.
As the group retreats to the library, 6, 3, and 4 cryptically explain
 the talisman's origins, but 1 gets upset again by announcing to the 
group that before he sent 2 out of Sanctuary on a scouting trip to die. 
7, who gets shocked by this, loses her temper by lashing out at 1 before
 running off when 9 prevents her from attempting to murder 1. Meanwhile,
 the Fabrication Machine retrieves 2's corpse and uses it as a hypnotic 
lure for another one of its robot hitmen, The Seamstress. The Seamstress
 then attacks the library and captures both 7 and 8, but 2's body is 
recovered and given a funeral by the others. The others then run to the 
factory to destroy the machines. 9 goes inside alone, assassinates the 
Seamstress, and rescues 7, but not before witnessing 8's soul being 
absorbed by the Fabrication Machine. 9 and 7 escape while the others 
destroy the factory.
The Stitchpunks celebrate the destruction of the factory, but the 
Fabrication Machine, which stayed alive, suddenly emerges from the ruins
 of the factory and absorbs 5's soul after surprising the other 
Stitchpunks. The Fabrication Machine soon attacks the group as they run 
away with fear, and finally captures 6, who is absorbed but not before 
telling 9 to go to the Scientist's workshop to find answers. 9 follows 
6's instructions, finding a holographic recorded message from their 
scientist creator, who explains that the Stitchpunks are all a part of 
himself, making them the only hope for humanity. After that 9 realizes 
how the talisman can be used against the Fabrication Machine to free the
 captured Stitchpunks' souls.
9 reunites with the other Stitchpunks and devises a plan to sacrifice
 himself to allow the others to retrieve the talisman from the 
Fabrication Machine. 1, having had a change of heart, redeems himself 
after saving 9 by pushing him out of the way, allowing himself to be 
absorbed and giving 9 the opportunity to remove the talisman. As the 
Fabrication Machine desperately tries to grab the talisman, 9 activates 
it and reabsorbs the souls taken by the Machine, resulting in its final 
destruction. Afterwards, 9, 7, 3, and 4 free the souls of 5, 1, 6, 2, 
and 8 from the talisman as they fly up into the sky, causing it to rain.
 The final image shows that the raindrops contain small flecks of 
glowing bacteria, bringing life back into the world.
