Mercenary

## Introduction

Mercenary is a Power experiment who escaped and obtained the Binary Blade, he is the character in BM lore who has suffered the most changes throughout ALL the generations, going from retrieving the Nightshade to **Vaninguard**, to going on a journey with his friends, and now to being a lone warrior.

### Saz Era lore (Uncanon)

*Strap thy seatbelts and abandon all thy bm2 knowledge*

Mercenary was a Power Experiment, similar to the **Cybers,** however, stuff went wrong and Mercenary woke up to the abandoned Power Laboratory, there he took the Binary Blade and went out on his journey.

Eventually he finds **Maccy, Cyber Brawler and Paladin**, and they form a group known as "**The Gang**"

Not so later they find themselves fighting against **Infernus**, whom Mercenary kills and obtains the Demon Blade, his strongest weapon.

Somehow they get a hold of the **Nightshade**, and decide to take it back to **Vaninguard**, they do everything but that.

At the **Sky Islands** they meet **Vanta Orijua**, who was corrupting the whole place, they start fighting and **Mercenary kills Vanta with the Demon Blade.** However, from far off the distance comes the **Enmas**, whom take away the **Nightshade** and throw **The Gang** off The **Sky Islands.**

What happens after this is lost to time, but at some point **Mercenary** gathers a **larger group** to oppose the **Enmas** at **Midst of Winter**(A Black Magic 1 Map), however things start going crazy, as **The Enmas** combine with each other to become **The Aominoa**(not to be confused with Aominoa, this is a blade, not a wargod), essentially nuking the whole place, killing everyone but **Mercenary**, this causes him to go into a frenzy, in which he uses both **The Demon Blade and The Binary Blade**, this is known as **Endgame**, the fight continues until **Ravager** gets tired and does it again, this time **Mercenary** survives but is almost killed, leaving him **defeated**. **The Enmas** then unseal Aominoa and leave.

Mercenary recuperates from this encounter and decides to strike back.

Aominoa starts what is essentially the 2nd great war, first he attacks Vaninguard and revives Vanta and the 12 other apostles, and finally ressurects the Titans he slayed during The Great War to make the Uumo, and therefore starts the end of the world.

However as it turns out, Aominoa is not exactly doing a good job, he expected Eohrai to show up and to defeat him, ending this 2nd war, however he didn't, and Eohrai was nowhere to be found, so Aominoa gets even more depressed...

The Enmas see this and decide to find Eohrai, and leave Ravager behind to guard Aominoa's chamber, while the rest go on the pursuit.

Meanwhile, Mercenary gathers up a resistance to fight against Aominoa's reign. The Group comes to the conclusion that if Corruption is foreign to this world then maybe it has no weakness, but... If this was the case then how did Eohrai win? So they decide to investigate further.

And they find a temple which holds the secret of what Corruption actually is, and they learn quickly that there is no actual "counter" to it.

**"It exists, and so it will exist, and will do as it has done."**

There they find a defect Corruption general known as "Despira" He explains to them how the enmas work and Mercenary has a "Eureka!!" moment.

What if he created his own Enma by corrupting the Demon Blade? To do that he'd require an Enma, so he decides to hunt one down.

While on their journey, survivors learn about the tale of Mercenary and his group and what they seek to do.

One of the things the survivors spoke about was that, whenever Mercenary went by was purified of Corruption, making them believe he was a reincarnation of Eohrai, which is highly false.

On The Great War's anniversary Mercenary and his group are kidnapped by Vanta and sent to a dimensional realm outside of time, where they have a 2nd round with Vanta and kill him, however, Nightfall comes by and insists that he only desires to fight Mercenary, so they have a duel.

Mercenary kills Nightfall with the Demon Blade and reverses how the blade work, absorbing the Corruption of Nightfall's Enma, and it corrupts the blade as intended.

Later, The Enmas find Nightfall's corpse but are more worried ab out the fact that statues of Eohrai are resurfacing and that some of the Titans were being purified, through this they understand that Eohrai is still alive.

This is as far as the Saz Lore goes, the rest... **is lost to time...**

### **Qaeo Era lore (Uncanon and possibly having information from Saz Era lore)**

Mercenary was a Power Experiment who left with an incomplete **Demon Blade and with the Binary Blade**, who later on kills **Infernus** completing his Demon Blade.

**Ivory, Elias** and 2 other soldiers were sent to kill Vanta Orijua, however they were struggling due to **Vanta's crystals** making him immortal, Mercenary jumps in using the **Completed** **Demon Blade** and begins fighting Vanta alongside the rest of **The Gang**, after countless struggles**, Mercenary delivers the final blow** and kills Vanta.

After this, **Mercenary** fights **The Enmas** he defeats **Nightmare and Samurai**, leaving them in a dormant state, however **Ravager** begins to feel aot of anger... So much it collapses upon itself, almost turning Ravager into his Lost Hope mode, but it doesn't, instead turning him into **Berzerker**, and he **defeats Mercenary.**

Not so soon, **Mercenary finds** himself **fighting Ravager** once again, this time **Ravager** wins and leaves **Mercenary defeated**, still with his life, it is unknown what happended to Mercenary after this.

### **Shards of Genesis**

**Mercenary** was a member of **Power** who agree'd to be the test subject of a project meant to utilize **Nether Energy** due to it's great powers, however the experiment always had something gone wrong, so they constantly had to redo it until Mercenary began to feel like he was nothing but a guinea pig involved with the Demon Blade.

He begins comparing **Power** from when he joined and **Power** now and realizes how much it has changed, and **decided to leave.**

**Orion** eventually found out about this and decided to do nothing, due to Mercenary's **reputation** with them, now he fights for his own way of justice utilizing the Binary Blade and the Demon Blade.
