Bleeding Edge: Ultimatum

**Bleeding Edge: Ultimatum** is the infamous, final chapter of main storyline, serving as both the falling action and the resolution. This is the culmination of the rebellion's long-running war against the tyrannical megacorporation, but they now face the ultimate, the destructive ANNIHILATOR, and their fate lies in their duel. With a twist: In his own domain!

Bygone: The Uprising

Three factions are monumental and pivotal in deciding the fate of nevanity. The eponymous megacorporation itself, the resistance movement that opposes them with sheer resilience and the drive to free their planet, and an unlikely army that has risen to vanquish their mortal enemy and the army through his own world. This will be the culmination of the aftermath of a brutal war and oppression that Nexonia Prime endured for a century.

Fate lies in their hands as the surviving G/NEX rebels are locked inside the Digital Realm. ANNIHILATOR invites them to a battle to the death, and in return, only the victors will survive, and their future beyond the aftermath is unknown, whether for the better or for the worse.

The finale of this horrid, long war has culminated at this very moment. This, will always be history.

## History

Despite the fact that ASHE-159 has died at the hands of PROGRAM SLIPSTREAM, she ends up getting resuscitated by PROJECT ANNIHILATOR, seeking to liberate the G/NEX rebels from the planet and merge his own realm into Nexonia Prime's physical world, by inviting the entire rebellion into a death duel in his own dimension, the Digital Realm.

So that he can kill them, and fusing his own dimension to the physical realm will turn the planet back to a PROJECT controlled state, but eliminating the nevian element.

### ANNIHILATOR's Invitation

ASHE-159 died from her wounds, and LILIAN-395 clutched her in despair. Despite their best attempts, the rebels were unable to save her, and not even a Fujiwara Nanostimulant could bring her back to life. However, they are in for a surprise. It was ANNIHILATOR who was waiting for them to annihilate them once and for all. OLIVEIRI-709, on the other hand, sought to save the rebels, but a phenomenal glitch happened, and they are all banished in the tyrant's very own reality.

This is NOW their final battle. It WILL decided the fate for both sides: PROJECT and the G/NEX.

#### Welcome to the Digital Realm

However, it was revealed that OLIVEIRI-709 was able to save the group from certain death by shrouding them in a holographic cloud that appeared to be emanating from the domain of the mecha lord. He is deeply saddened by her seeming betrayal, leading him to conclude that everyone must be sent to the Digital Realm. This will be their last fight, and they are plainly outmatched. They all fall harmlessly in the realm, looking shocked by the drastic change in his world's appearance, but when they observe the tyrant not being able to discover them yet, the rebels have agreed to find perfect hiding sites to avoid capture, and find a way out of the dimension. It was futile, apparently.

After being unable to leave the realm and finding a very grim truth, everyone is locked in the tyrant's very own "world." The rebels are now taken aback by his own dimension, which he refers to as the Digital Realm. They try to hide from him again, but they have no way to escape or hide because they are simply followed by his world's sensors, working against the creator of cyberspace. He became tired of waiting as the rebels waited longer than planned, and his ultimate ability glitched to the point where he believes OLIVEIRI-709 attempted to counter it in some incomprehensible way.

#### A Duel for Fate

As they all prepare to confront ANNIHILATOR, they see his perfect control over his own dimension, which confirmed his plan to take over Nexonia Prime by merging the Digital Realm with the physical world, but he ends up accidentally reviving ASHE-159 in the cyberspace. After fully opening her eyes against him, OLIVEIRI-709 now decides to side with the G/NEX rebels. He simply shrugged, knowing that reconstructing her memories foreshadowed her betrayal. EION-013 swears to destroy him, knowing that his wife was brainwashed to be a cold-blooded killer for the megacorporation. The rebels try to play mind games with him, claiming that Muldoon Lundgren's death caused PROJECT to lose and photographing it as proof.

The mecha overlord does not waver from the facts, knowing that his plan will cause PROJECT to rise from the ashes once more. He even admits that a man leading a megacorporation is to blame for its downfall, demonstrating that a nevian element as leadership is inefficient to an extraterrestrial megacorporation; indicating that he is the true leader. The rebels did not take him lightly and assaulted him in all directions. He laughs at them, knowing that no matter how clever their strategies were, they lacked the heavy firepower to beat him. It was a one-sided struggle, and he actually plays with them, earning his boredom, before ordering his holographic minions to slaughter them; obviously, almost everyone in the group is no match for him.

JINX-362 is severely injured after one of his minions violently rips her left arm off during a scuffle. SHIRO-113 uses all of his skills to survive against him and his minions. Everyone was clearly outmatched, and even ANNIHILATOR admitted to playing with the rebels, knowing he could simply kill any of them with brute force. As a result, the rebels devised a strategy that relies on OLIVEIRI-709's special abilities in the Digital Realm. As a result, they have attempted to manipulate the environment in order to reverse the tide. As a result, he quickly targets her and swings his hammer at her.

OLIVEIRI-709 expertly interrupts him, using her railgun to fire a **DAWNING WAVE** beam that heavily damages him while shielding all allies caught in the wave's explosion. As a last resort, he blindly swings his hammer and kills VI-516, easily turning her into scrap metal. SHIRO-113 uses the opportunity to stab his eyes, but it has minimal effect since he simply grabbed him and broke his own sword, then proceeds to kill him with a simple right hook. HAYABUSA-096 uses his **TRIPLE STRIKE** ability to deal damage in all directions while avoiding being hit, but he dies after being slammed by his hammer through a blind swing, annoyed by his teleportation ability through that aspect. ASHE-159 and LILIAN-395 were pretty much the only one in the group, alongside FIONA-384, TRISTANNA-651, BRIENNE-218, SCYLLA-028, GHOST, JINX-362 and SCYLLA-028, are able to survive against his brutal onslaught.

As they all fight for the fate of the planet, They questioned: "If we die here, what happens to us on the outside world?"

The G/NEX is now desperate and proceeds to regroup, knowing that ANNIHILATOR is far too powerful for any of them. They now have little more than a few tactics to work with, as she has stunned the tyrant for a few minutes after unleashing dozens of UBER ARROWs on him, giving them time to unwind and brainstorm any counter tactics against him; With the Iceborn leader admitting that she didn't intend to unleash the true power of her own through the bow again. ASHE-159, seeing no other option, decides to sacrifice herself again, this time ensuring her death will have meaning, and killing him could potentially erase the cyberspace forever, sending them safely back into the physical world.

OLIVEIRI-709 countered her intentions and devised a seemingly perfect strategy: download their consciousness into the Digital Realm using the SERVER, so that if their physical bodies perish in the place, they can return to cyberspace in a holographic form, or a *duplicate* of the original body. They all agreed to it, and as a result, FIONA-384 was able to counteract ASHE-159's intention to sacrifice herself for the sake of the planet. The group now has hope against ANNIHILATOR, and they fought him once more with coordinated attacks. However, because VI-516, SHIRO-113 and HAYABUSA-096 died before she devised the plan, there is no way for them to be revived, and they must accept this as a fact.

Fortunately, the plan worked well. As a result, ANNIHILATOR evens the odds by targeting OLIVEIRI-709, but BRIENNE-218 stood against him valiantly, fighting him on a duel to prove herself as the G/NEX resistance's prime enforcer. ANNIHILATOR had a decent challenge against her, until he brutally kills her after smashing her armour and crushing her from the insides. He admits that she was a worthy one, compared to the rest. Getting tired of them being skilled, he pulls all (CORPORATE GRASP) the rebels to his position, but they all end up attacking him with all their might; with some effect. As planned, BRIENNE-218 becomes revived and gets back into the fight, which does some damage on him and he proceeds to throw her railgun away to prevent them from gravely wounding him again.

ANNIHILATOR simply laughs at them as he picks up ASHE-159 and entraps the rebels with his hammer, using his dimensional control to enclose them into digital cages via telekinesis. He proceeds to seize LILIAN-395 as well, knowing she has betrayed the megacorporation. He begins discussing about the war between the G/NEX and PROJECT, knowing that they are unable to intervene due to their cages. As he starts a speech, the rebels attempted to break free, doing all possible escape methods that they can fathom, until realising that only the overlord can remove the digital cages.

He proceeds to slowly crush LILIAN-395, and ASHE-159 is trapped and having no opportunities to escape. OLIVEIRI tries reaching her railgun to shoot him in the head again with the DAWNING WAVE, but was halted by himself. After freeing herself from the cage, she proceeds to shoot ANNIHILATOR again in full power. As it dealt enough damage, the two warmothers quickly break free and attempt to rescue the others trapped in their cage, to no avail. They seem to think the mecha overlord is now destroyed forever, but unbeknownst to them, he simply used his passive ability to repair his severe damage sustained from the blast.

As ANNIHILATOR emerges in front of them, with his minions surrounding him, he orders them to stay put, seeking to quickly destroy the resistance by himself, rooting them in the same location, and he triumphantly leaps into the air, clearly intending to execute all of them with a hammer slam.

### Trascendental Phenomena

The mecha overlord of annihilation has smashed his hammer down, thoroughly decimating the rebels as their flesh bursts from the impact, deleting them from cyberspace. OLIVEIRI was able to live by employing a shroud, while the rest were reduced to a pile of flesh, she is unable to save them. And all hope is gone, prompting RUBICORE to immediately learn about the dimension and seek to deploy their best soldiers in cyberspace, but without any means of transferring to the unknown. As a result, they have little choice except to eliminate the surviving PROJECT troops in the actual world. To make matters worse, the power couple is preoccupied for unexplained reasons, perhaps reminiscing about their romance whilst REDEEMER-865 struggles to remember their time together as a married couple.

**WARNING: 𝚂𝙿𝙾𝙸𝙻𝙴𝚁𝚂 𝙰𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚍. 𝙸𝚗𝚊𝚍𝚟𝚒𝚜𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚍 𝚒𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚏𝚊𝚖𝚒𝚕𝚒𝚊𝚛 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚌𝚎𝚍𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚜.**

However, PSYLOCKE-832 slowly comes to her senses and suits up. Following that, she requested her wife on how to enter the Digital Realm. What she expected was far complicated that she initially thought. As a result, she bids everyone a good luck, particularly the lives of REDEEMER-865 is with his rebels, giving them anything that they need, such as food, clothing and water, or even property. RUBICORE forces quickly informed the Obsidian Assassin about their failed attempts to enter the dimension, which she had a chance of entering into the Digital Realm.

Back to the realm, it is lucky that BRIENNE-218, SCYLLA-028, FIONA-384, TRISTANNA-651, EION-013 and a heavily wounded JINX-362 are left alive. Of course, OLIVEIRI-709 glares at them in annoyance for saving them against the tyrant twice, but the remaining rebels of the group owes her despite the apparent death of their leader, again. However, the loose cannon has lost her fighting spirit and wants to leave the realm, stating that she's too weak to fight in her current state, looking at her extremely damaged body and a torn left arm.

As a result, OLIVEIRI was forced to return her to the physical world. ANNIHILATOR now focuses on them, congratulating them on their luck in surviving against him; Taking advantage of his words, he is assaulted by tracking grenades by BRIENNE-218 and battles him again head on. She was able to briefly deflect a strike with her shield and use JUDGEMENT to root him in place, allowing everyone to attack him at less armoured regions of his body, which was beneficial. However, he soon turns the tide by using CORPORATE GRASP to hold them all in place; slowly suffering under the grasp of a magical fist. He abandons them to perish.

ANNIHILATOR is displeased by OLIVEIRI's attacks against him, so he pins her to the wall, disabling her escape. He now aimed his fists at the group, intending to bathe his hands in their blood. However, a helping hand turned the tide. It was REDEEMER-865 using his knowledge of realm to transport PSYLOCKE-832 in the realm, and quickly shot him in the eyes with a sniper rifle. She wanted to have a rematch, but she didn't bring her own railgun, wanting to fight in a conventional manner. The rebels looked at her in relief, as her timely response has saved them. The tyrant gives her four minutes to fight, and if it runs out, they will die. A fight will soon unfold. ANNIHILATOR regards her as a worthy adversary.

PSYLOCKE-832 sees ASHE-159's body in the arena and remembers herself to revenge everyone who perished against the tyrant, despite the fact that he has already damned her own wife. The Obsidian Assassin has a cold, final proposal for the tyrant: she wins, and everyone lives. She loses, and everyone dies in the realm, and they will all face a terrible destiny when they return to the world. The tyrant accepts, and it gains protest from the entire group; Stating that a victory is a must. 832 simply smiles at them and says her last words with them: *Don't mention it*.

**End of the First Half.**

**WARNING: 𝚂𝙿𝙾𝙸𝙻𝙴𝚁𝚂 𝙰𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚍. 𝙸𝚗𝚊𝚍𝚟𝚒𝚜𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚍 𝚒𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚏𝚊𝚖𝚒𝚕𝚒𝚊𝚛 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚌𝚎𝚍𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚜.**

Without warning, ANNIHILATOR slams his hammer, which she perfectly dodges as she pull out her own glaive for a "fair" melee fight. He is amused, claiming that her *pointy stick* won't last long against him. She merely responded, and the argument continued. The tyrant clearly got more than he bargained for, knowing that he regards the rebels as a worthless annoyance rather than a genuine danger. In hindsight, he views her, OLIVEIRI-709 and BRIENNE-218 as worthy adversaries.

PSYLOCKE-832 is now engaged in the fight of her life. ANNIHILATOR has proven to be an immensely powerful foe, but she seeks a worthy adversary, and the assassin was given her opportunity. The tyrant praises her for fighting him indefinitely, for as long as time allows. Until one minute remains and the mecha tells her about the destiny of the rebels or her own. Following that realisation, she simply opted to fight and *lose* it on purpose, kneeling in anticipation of her own death. The rebels watch in disbelief as they are gradually crushed, until a brilliant spark of hope emerges from the lonely realm.

It was, REDEEMER-865 again. PSYLOCKE-832 was spared after ANNIHILATOR nearly killed her with a swing of his hammer, apparently revived after getting smashed to death, whilst the ANTI-SERVER rebellion has barged in, and brought heavy artillery and Galilean plasma launchers in an effort to stop him once and for all. Everyone have been ordered to free the rebels as they use their special abilities to remove the grasp, and 865 delivers a mighty punch towards the sentient mecha, staggering him for a while until 865 orders everyone to open fire. The Tyrant laughs at them, stating that he has long waited for this moment, as he seeks a duel; Regardless of the odds.

OLIVEIRI-709 readies up her railgun for another shot, despite her failing body. ANNIHILATOR, used his telekinesis to disarm her and the gun, losing their momentum to victory for the entire planet. With that setback, the sentient mecha cripples the GHOST and leaves her to suffer, proclaiming that she is a worthy opponent like the Obsidian assassin, on contrary to the rebels. ANNIHILATOR smashes the ANTI-SERVER rebels, forcing them to scatter; And REDEEMER-865 has decided to make the G/NEX's sacrifice worth it, freely allowing everyone to fight with all their strength, will and skill.

REDEEMER-865 then allowed everyone in the party to unleash everything they got, hammering ANNIHILATOR with heavy artillery, until he proceeds to repair the damage with ease, which PSYLOCKE-832 countered by shooting him with a Fujiwara Nanostimulant into his throat, which actually prevented his capability to self repair. Then, the ANTI-SERVER rebels manifest a digital version of PROJECT TAGGART, which easily gave hope for the G/NEX, as 865 commandeered it and OLIVEIRI-709 delivering her last trick to the tyrant, a fight where he is locked in a circle on his own realm.

Finally, REDEEMER-865 has avenged the fallen G/NEX rebels, including ASHE-159. His usage of PROJECT TAGGART's form was exemplary, and he is able to stand his ground against him. However, the GUARDIAN realises that the realm is powered by an entity known as the SERVER, which holds all the data that the megacorporation has amassed since its origin. ANNIHILATOR stuns him for a while, then pierces a hole into ASHE-159's stomach with his finger, as he teleports and shields the main core of the Digital Realm itself.

**End of the Second Half.**

### To the End

In the fight for the SERVER, REDEEMER-865's giant holographic form trades blows with PROJECT ANNIHILATOR as the surviving G/NEX warriors follow the lead of PSYLOCKE-832 as they seek to destroy the SERVER, the realm's core, knowing that its destruction will ensure the tyrant's demise and save every hero in the same dimension. OLIVEIRI-709, who appears hobbling and with a torn right arm, promises the group that she will restore everything, earning the adoration of EION-013. The gunslinger actually survives a hit from the tyrant, as he is luckily confined in debris rather than decimated by brute force. As they all make it to the core, 865 noticed that ANNIHILATOR has brought the still-alive soldiers of PROJECT: INTERCEPTOR-409 and Gray Wolf. Much to their dissatisfaction, The tyrant uses the opportunity to create henchmen modelled after SHADOW himself, dozens of them.

The precise INTERCEPTOR-409 is killed by FIONA-384, after quickly reading his background and his connection to VI-516 or JINX-362. Gray Wolf managed to survive the onslaught as he used the SHADOW holographic clones to escape, earning the curiosity of the tyrant, which he simply replied that: "We're losing. If you die, PROJECT is gone forever. If not, get out of here and rule the planet, and I'll follow your lead."; This didn't earn any anger from ANNIHILATOR himself, he respected the decision and telekinetically lifted him so that he could return to the Physical World.

SCYLLA-028 declares that everyone should take part in destroying the SERVER while killing the tyrant's minions, which FIONA-384 states that it'll take an endless amount of time as they are now facing SHADOW clones, proving extremely difficult for them. They are unable to save OLIVEIRI-709 from being injured, seemingly losing their hope, until REDEEMER sees their struggle and uses his axe to kill the SHADOW clones with ease and bulldozes them with sheer force, then suggests everyone to hop onto his TAGGART form as he matches ANNIHILATOR in combat, but accidentally drops the rebels to the ground, forcing 028 to throw her scythe into the SERVER's gate, which triggered but luckily disarmed the security systems, allowing REDEEMER-865 to run towards it, but the tyrant quickly blocks their path.

PSYLOCKE-832 saves their moment by throwing her glaive into his right eye, permanently blinding it and is able to attack him in the head with the same weapon as she stands on top of him and shoots him with her wrist gun, before he throws her out of the way, which she used the momentum to make it inside the SERVER. FIONA-384 then later stalls them as the G/NEX and the ANTI-SERVER are now en route onto Sector 07, the main core of SERVER.

### End of the Line

This was it. SCYLLA-028 makes a name for herself as she threw her scythe to a control panel, allowing all of the circuits of the entire SERVER to unfold and expose themselves. However, the entire group is blockaded by ANNIHILATOR's army, surrounding everyone except REDEEMER-865. This caused them to form up a defensive position as the others are torn apart by the clones, or shot by the armed minions. The tyrant proclaims that destroying the SERVER would result in the destruction of the realm and everyone inside of it, but they are able to see beneath his bluff. Without warning, PSYLOCKE-832 permanently blinds ANNIHILATOR by stabbing him in the left eye, and REDEEMER-865's TAGGART form is used to spear him through the SERVER's power core, effectively destroying it for good, as the rest of them are destroying every component in Sector 07.

As a result of the core's destruction, ANNIHILATOR is consumed by his own minions and self-destructs; surprisingly, she delivers the killing blow. The tyrant unexpectedly accepted his death as the minions surround him explode and him as well. With the tyrant now gone forever, she gave the G/NEX her last words to them, and to her wife EION-013; Sharing one last, tragic kiss, then shaking her hands with REDEEMER-865 and TRISTANNA-651 in respect. Afterwards, she guides them to the Portal, a gateway designed to perfectly return any individual to the real world, without exerting their own temporal grenades of digital abilities to do so. They bid a farewell to her, and 865 notably hugs her as she has decided to stay there, ready to face eternity and leaving her fate unknown.

*All the fighting in the entire war have lead to this moment, and ended here, right in the Digital Realm.*

## Epilogue

### Possibilities

ASHE-159 was killed, but her sacrifice was not in vain because she discreetly plotted ANNIHILATOR's fate by implanting an explosive UBER arrow somewhere around his nape, explaining why OLIVEIRI-709 was able to give the killing blow as his minions self-destructed while magnetised to him. The involvement of PSYLOCKE-832 and REDEEMER-865 irrevocably shifted the tide, as the G/NEX are grossly outmatched by the overlord and his unending minions. In the aftermath, while the planet celebrates their victory, ANNIHILATOR's mind is transferred to a secret, identical body buried in Sublevel 19A of the presumably destroyed SUPREME headquarters. This reveals a vast facility beneath with dozens of identical bodies, implying that PROJECT reproduced his mecha form before his demise.

*And someone is responsible for this, presumably S.O.L.A.C.E. The only good thing is, they do not know if his mind will awaken, could it be sooner or none, at all?*

### Funeral

The sacrifice of ASHE-159 saved Nexonia Prime, ensuring the continuing survival of all living species on the planet. Her demise, however, it had a devastating impact on her friends and comrades. Many of Ashe's closest friends, such as Fiona and Scylla, were clearly devastated by her death because they had the most defining relationships with her. Her final, recorded message to the entire G/NEX, Rising Falcons and her protégé (allegedly her daughter), which she recorded prior to carrying out the final combat in the case of her death, was shown to them in the presence of the entire rebellion a week after her death.

In Ashe's funeral, someone who looks remarkably similar to her gained attention from the media, after she held the casket for so long. Not long after, she is sighted to regularly visit her tomb, whenever no one is there to visit. Perhaps a secret heir can fill in her shoes and expand her legacy?

### A New Future

The end of PROJECT's reign of terror and oppression has made nevanity consider the year 3025 as an old era as a new year has erupted, effectively making a new, bright future in a completely separate era from what it was during their control over the planet. As a result, all countries have recovered from all the damages and has experienced a cultural reset, preventing the use of hyper-advanced technology again. However, this does not mean the planet has no more evil factions to pick up where the megacorporation has left. And that is when the Corporate Renegades have emerged to restore the megacorporation, somewhere in the future.

## Cast

Bleeding Edge: Ultimatum had featured the ensemble cast of the PROJECT-G/NEX Chronicles, which featured the likes of G/NEX rebels, the reborn BISHOP-805 now known as the REDEEMER-865, and the original protagonist, PSYLOCKE-832. The main storyline's central characters such as ASHE-159, FIONA-384, SCYLLA-028, TRISTANNA-651 and BRIENNE-218 appear again for the last time, the resistance movement has their final, farewell fight.

Due to the immense power that ANNIHILATOR holds, he is the most powerful villain that they ever come across. As a result, even all the might and skills of the G/NEX are insufficient on taking him down, with only the timely, surprising intervention of PSYLOCKE-832 and REDEEMER-865 has saved the day.

In conclusion, victory wasn't possible without PSYLOCKE-832's intervention and the grand return of the ANTI-SERVER to finally vanquish the Mecha Overlord once and for all.

* "ASHE. You are capable. But not enough when you face me."
* "I brought you back to life for your rebellion to have a duel, AGAINST me."

## Trivia

### General

* REDEEMER-865 played a pivotal role in nevanity's final fight against PROJECT; Whilst PSYLOCKE-832 has set the stalemate allowing it to maintain ASHE-159's momentum against the overlord. In conclusion, the ANTI-SERVER was directly responsible for the G/NEX's triumphant victory.
* Bleeding Edge was the chosen name due to a forefront of absolute victory against PROJECT itself.
* ASHE-159 ends up becoming the planet's most respected hero as a result.
	+ She was able to pass her legacy to FIONA-384, who now leads the G/NEX resistance that has been transformed into the Legion, earning her position as a leader, seeking to liberate the megacorporation's leftovers in the planet, spanning a whole different war in a new era.
* ANNIHILATOR's mind was transferred to a secret, identical body hidden in "Sublevel 19A" of the seemingly destroyed SUPREME headquarters. Gray Wolf, the last surviving soldier, was able to take note of this, and has successfully revived him, effectively ruining the future.
* TRISTANNA-651 later lived a life of solitude, not EVEN attending Ashe's funeral. Perhaps she is too traumatised, akin to JINX-362. However, she did a lot of good deeds in their final fight, but still became an unsung hero.
* Muldoon Lundgren's death was highly celebrated.
* PROJECT may have lost the war they started and now lost forever, but anytime, ANNIHILATOR may be able to turn the tide, if he decides to combine the Digital Realm onto the physical world of Nexonia Prime.

### Developmental Notes

* In the original draft, the final battle takes place in the *Scourge of Metal*, a landmark created from the ruins of the SUPREME headquarters. He became a robotic monstrosity known as Muldontron.
* Muldontron has rendered their technology useless in the final battle, which forced BRIENNE-218 to sacrifice herself against him.
* PROJECT ANNIHILATOR was originally supposed to be the main antagonist for *Dawn of Era: An Uprising*.
* PSYLOCKE-832's glaive is used to kill Muldontron. ASHE-159 did the honour.
* Sable has been responsible for manipulating the controls of the SERVER, per REDEEMER-865's orders. This is how they managed to open the sectors without extreme difficulty.
* PSYLOCKE-832 is a pivotal character in this chapter.
* As with the starting date of *A Call to Arms*, it has been made a global, legal holiday.
* It takes place in December 31st when COALESCENCE finally disbanded.
* See more on PROJECT-G/NEX Chronicles/Cut Content for more details.
