PSYLOCKE-832

## NIGHTSTALKER - Offline

**PSYLOCKE-832**, formerly known as *PROJECT NIGHTSTALKER*, stands as the apex assassin within the COALESCENCE security firm. Renowned for her formidable skills in infiltration, stealth, and combat, she embodies the epitome of a lethal operative. Driven by a personal cause and the desire to dismantle the megacorporation's oppressive reign, she operates with a cold-blooded efficiency that strikes fear into the hearts of her adversaries.

Standing at a commanding 6 feet 3 inches and 240 pounds of strength and beauty, PSYLOCKE-832 embodies a perfect fusion of strength and beauty. Her voluptuous curves, adorned with toned muscles, convey an unparalleled physical prowess. With sun-kissed skin, seagreen eyes, and blonde wavy hair, she captivates with an air of both elegance and lethal capability. As an Alpha, her physique surpasses conventional nevian limits, and her combat-ready attire, featuring the signature Mk. 9 HF Glaive and RIA-920 railgun, adds to the aura of a formidable, unenhanced warrior.

Rachelle uses a superbike known as the DARK RUNNER, serving as her own personal vehicle in her crusade of being a nightrider. Notably, she is the most elite operative of the COALESCENCE security firm for the longest time, ever. One of the most notable heroes in the entire technological war, she is responsible for stalemating their final battle, until a reborn legend has paved the way for their victory, and choosing to retire after cutting ties with her defunct employer.

The last thing that she did before disappearing off the radar for a peaceful life was periodically training an Iceborn prodigy, Madeleine Clemirosa; in the field of marksmanship. That was it before she truly went off the grid.

## Biography

### Background

Rachelle was born on April 6th, 1970, before the entire future chronicles. She was born in the city of Lima Nineville, Glaz'Ian Islands, to Panamoan parents and grandparents; her forebears are also of Glaz'Ik and Salemian origin, making her multi-national as the daughter of Rheya Palmer and Magnus Palmer. Elizabeth's grandmother is a legendary knight from the Panamoan Republic's mediaeval history. She used to enjoy surfing, swimming, and working out. She was unaware of her multi-nationality, believing herself to be a Glaz'Ik citizen in her adolescence.

### Present Day

Her life was a jumble of chaos and tranquillity. Some claim that her great grandmother, cousin, and another cousin were killed by an assassin who turned out to be an extraterrestrial alien. Her father was also assassinated by a normal assassin, unable to assist her mother, who died in her own wounds as a result of a series of assassinations. In exchange, she joined the Black Velvet in order to become a heroic assassin, which she has managed to become the most respected operative, as her nonstop career as a crusading hero of ruthlessness allowed her to receive a request to join the Panamoan military, where she met Nicholas Wolfgang Bale, who later became her love interest.

Nicholas Wolfgang Bale, according to Palmer, is the "coolheaded, ruthless and calculated hero with the most convoluted background." As she had witnessed many things about him, such as being a grim reaper in the past and present, entering hell without dying, meddling with the events taking on within the realm of Ceyraholt, and his well-known feud with Lucifer, the Devil himself. Regardless, she was able to accept them and even supported him during his stay on Valenthia to finally settle matters with the Devil. Following that, the two led a simple life.

Valenthians confirm that she defeated the Devil in a duel, through melee, hand-to-hand and even magic combat. However, she is referred to a pseudonym inside the realm.

### First Quarter of the 21st Century

She is able to venture outside Nexonia Prime in search of something to challenge her, and this is how she discovered the excitement of galactic bounty hunting. Her assassin codename "Psylocke" was later revived as Palmer became one of the galaxy's finest bounty hunters, even attracting the attention of the Galactic Republic, to whom she has been offered the position of overseer; she is intrigued by the position, which the Black Velvet assured her is simply a job to monitor the political faction's day-to-day operations and seek any suspicious activity. As expected, she brutally kills the traitors by stabbing them out of sight, or sniping them from a distance, which she ended up getting payed as a bounty hunter, while her duty as an overseer is seemingly revoked after the president has heard of it.

Palmer was clearly able to travel beyond Nexonia Prime and throughout the galaxy, earning great respect and fear as a "G-Class Assassin," eliminating evil for the highest bidder and doing it for the collective good. As a result, her abilities have become legendary, and she can easily defeat or kill other assassins. In fact, her battle prowess are comparable to those of Aelia Proxima, the Darklord's adoptive daughter and the galaxy's most proficient warrior. Not to mention that she has transitioned into a KNIGHT super soldier, after the NXSC's Margaret Kennedy takes note of her "not-so-mentioned" military career.

### The End of Nexonia-Colossus War

In 2915, Nexonia Prime was free to invade Colossus Prime. After pinpointing the planet's location, BISHOP-805 and the other members of the INDIGO Team - a unit of Knights that includes **PSYLOCKE-832**, BULL-414, and AMY-056 - make the long and perilous journey there. After the MK15 NXSC Ragnarok ship battled gravity while traveling, they finally arrived on the planet Colossus Prime to assist the overburdened NXSC military forces. Despite their overwhelming numbers, the Colossians are no match for the Knight super soldiers of the INDIGO team, combined with the military firepower of NXSC.

Following that, Nexonia Prime's military forces withdrew. Meanwhile, the INDIGO team is surveying the wreckage until they come across *FRUmloak*, a massive mountain range on the planet Colossus Prime. The team finds it strange that the Darklord is not guarded by the *Necromantic Order*, implying that he is mourning their deaths. With the galaxy's most dangerous threat still alive, BISHOP-805 orders his team to leave, but not before he and **PSYLOCKE-832** share one last intimate moment. 805 and 832, according to BULL-414, should get a room because they had *intercourse* while onboard the ship.

832 was able to witness his death from the ship. However, she noticed that BISHOP-805 had outsmarted the darklord by sticking an I08 GALILEAN battery pack onto his nape, and proceeds to use the detonator, even if his head is effectively scorched, he is slightly conscious enough to press the button and managed to kill the Darklord, once and for alive. The death of the Darklord demoralised the planet Colossus Prime and as a result, they lost their strength.

BISHOP-805 was unaware of the PROJECT corporation, which had been established by the Darklord in order to colonise Nexonia Prime. He dies quickly, but PSYLOCKE-832 recovers his damaged armour and cremates his body a few weeks later, but has managed to file a request for a duplicate body that was carried over by Michael Nexima. As a result, BISHOP-805's death had a long-lasting impact on her, effectively transforming her into an enigmatic but extremely ruthless assassin.

Almost a hundred years later, Knowing that the planet's current technology was more than adequate, she will not falter nor rest about her one major goal, which is to revive her husband.

### Hired Sniper, After PROJECT's rule.

When the PROJECT megacorporation was founded, they quickly took over the entire planet in a couple of months; especially, from February to June 2999, due to global riots occurring in every nation. As a result, Rachelle decides to join the Panamoan military, but she is somehow denied and is forced to work as a mercenary for hire, as a sharpshooter entrusted with supporting authorities. She does, however, have one primary motivation to continue: to resuscitate her late wife. Knowing that the Colossian god's megacorporation is something that he can destroy for good. However, she managed to secure a position as a Ranger sniper after killing one corrupt Panamoan Army Ranger member in July. In fact, she brutally *ripped* his arm off, much to the soldiers' surprise. As a result, she became a full time active duty Ranger in the field, performing operations such as sniping key targets and typical warfare, which she has grown fond of. She was only discharged when the military went defunct.

Rachelle will not let anyone interfere with her efforts to resurrect her husband. She intends to obtain an armoured suit from PROJECT after a series of infiltrations, scouting missions, and even a straight-up gunfight in the *Lucreigh* headquarters. PSYLOCKE-832 is her former Knight codename if it happens that she will operate in her high-tech suit. She ended up being hired by the COALESCENCE security firm after being caught in the act of assassinating the remaining Colossian figures on the planet. With this in mind, she is given an augmented suit of armour by COALESCENCE equipped with cutting-edge technology, designed for her assassination missions in which she will face numerous PROJECT forces and potentially even rebels.

Following that, she has been known as PROJECT NIGHTSTALKER. To complement her shadowy nature, her codename as a corporate warrior was due to the fact that she developed a habit of stalking and ruthlessly killing evil in the gloomy night.

### A Call to Arms

As the PROJECT NIGHTSTALKER, she coldly assassinates evil figures around the planet, particularly favouring the dark, unforgiving night while effortlessly infiltrate PROJECT corporation, leaving no suspicions at all, as she is far too elusive and skilled for regulars to handle. Due to her immense skills, the megacorporation intends to mimic it, which was only successful through upgrading the already formidable SHADOW.

#### Hotshots Clash

PSYLOCKE-832's reputation had easily skyrocketed to a whole new level in A Call to Arms since she joined COALESCENCE after a series of advantageous assassinations and being the nightrider that sparks fear against PROJECT. The news was picked up by KAZAMA-437 since the news station is a pro-COALESCENCE supporter. Throughout A Call to Arms, she carried out countless assassinations in order to prevent PROJECT from invading any of COALESCENCE territory. As a result, the megacorporation become so furious at her, allowing them to send KAZAMA-437 to kill her.

KAZAMA-437 has heard of her reputation and is quickly looking for her. PSYLOCKE-832 and KAZAMA-437 meet by chance in a lonely alleyway in July 2999. Both are unarmed, but KAZAMA-437's demeanour is more reminiscent of his PROJECT GRANDIOSE persona, and he pulls a gun on PSYLOCKE-832. She moves slowly and unarmed towards him. Despite her legendary status, he tells her that if she fights against PROJECT alone, rather defeat the resistance, she will be killed by him or PROJECT itself. He even invites her to join the megacorporation.

She refused, giggled and verbally abused him, prompting KAZAMA-437 to fire his pistol at her. PSYLOCKE-832 manages to avoid the bullet, much to his surprise. Although KAZAMA-437 is previously unarmed, he pulls out three pistols, which PSYLOCKE-832 quickly disarms with swift kicks and elbows. Desperate, KAZAMA-437 kicks her six times in the stomach, with some effect. She recovered quickly and exploited him by easily defeating him in hand-to-hand combat before he could defeat her. He is well aware that his PROJECT GRANDIOSE form holds the key to stopping her.

832 kicks the pistols away before 437 can pick them up, but he responds by using an assault rifle, only for her to unveil a collapsible glaive, slice the rifle in half and aim the blade right at his throat. He is left with only fear and deafening silence. He demands another fight. However, they should be equipped with their own PROJECT technology. She agreed without any personal animosity. Nonetheless, she punched him in the face, poked him with the weapon and kicked him to the jaw, effectively destroying it, before he could finish his words. She punched him in the face and kicked him to the jaw, effectively destroying it, before he could finish his words. Unfortunately for her, she is being pursued by a swarm of PATROL-05 and KNIGHT bots. She employs her Mk. 9 HF glaive to quickly defeat them in addition to her natural fighting abilities.

However, she is kicked by the leg of a SCOUT Walker mech. She sliced off the right leg and its weapon, but ASHE-159 from a rooftop saves her, even though PSYLOCKE-832 she can easily handle it.

#### Recruitment: Rejected

PSYLOCKE-832's overall reputation has been massively impressive that the G/NEX keeps an eye on her on a regular basis, seeing her as an invaluable candidate after ASHE-159 witnessed her fighting abilities. COALESCENCE, on the other hand, insists on not joining the resistance and instead assisting them only in times of need, even warning her *not* to kill them. Wasting no time, ASHE-159 invites her to join her resistance. She quickly refused and opposed the idea, refusing to let anyone interfere with her personal goals. As a result, a small argument starts out as the assassin proves to be stubborn against their request.

SCYLLA-028 and FIONA-384 were disappointed, prompting SCYLLA to start a fight by attacking her with her *TWILIGHT SMOKESCREEN* ability. At this point, the women of G/NEX engaged **PSYLOCKE-832** unarmed (Hilariously, only VI-516, ASHE-159 and BRIENNE-218 are unarmoured). Everyone was defeated, including EQUINOX-612 and SHIRO-113. However, BRIENNE-218 on the other hand was able to hold her own against PSYLOCKE-832 in the fight, but was later knocked out. VI-516 on the other hand, appeared from out of nowhere and started punching her in the stomach forty times. It has zero-to-minimal effect on PSYLOCKE-832, so she kicks VI-516 with a "whiff" kick, but it nearly *blew* the knuckle-cracker's head off.

She walks away after the G/NEX rebels collapse on the ground, exhausted and wounded, but leaves them with an intel tablet containing loads of information, which SHIRO-113 discovers that she has infiltrated every PROJECT headquarters. ASHE-159 notices her with a group of COALESCENCE operatives and assassins, who have been invited to a meeting. Back to the G/NEX headquarters, they discuss their plans about the assassin of COALESCENCE. FIONA-384 was enthusiastic then states that PSYLOCKE-832 is trustworthy, by looking at her biography data. They agreed to the fact that the nightrider seemed to have a vendetta against the megacorporation.

*Unbeknownst to the G/NEX resistance, she is silently observing a mile away from their headquarters; Under the request of RUBICORE's intelligence division.*

#### The thrill of the NIGHTSTALKER

*Main article: A Nightrider: Hero of the Dark*

##### Wild, Infiltrated Party

> "A Nightclub. Three executives, Lesley, Eckhart and Kruger. I killed them, and now our ranks have to deal with that wretched Sylas. Why can't he just seek therapy and not wasting his time with Amanda and the Behavioural Analyser machine?"
>
> - Rachelle summarises the entire operation.

After her encounter with the G/NEX, she has returned back to Rutherland, seeking all evil in the darkness, and the light as she roars in the streets with the DARK RUNNER or silently zooms across Domino to drive by and quickly kill her opponents. If that isn't enough, she dismounts and settles things her way, like a driven bounty hunter determined to execute his target. Lauren Van Damme provides her the opportunity to analyse Sylas Clement following an incident that has harmed their reputation. She is uninterested and instead transfers the goal to Amanda Gyllenhaal, believing that pursuing her targets is far more vital.

For an operation in Rutherland, she handpicks her team of COALESCENCE assassins and they are later sent to infiltrate a gathering at a prominent nightclub; this is due to the confirmation of three PROJECT executives entering the premises with the intention of taking it and using it for their own purposes, presumably taking over it, if everything goes according to plan. As a result, Rachelle, Amanda, Xavier, and Yusef join the party without drawing notice by wearing lavish yet non-revealing clothing. Lesley, Eckhart, and Kruger have been recognised as the targets.

As they traverse around the crowd, the trio are compromised as the executives have ordered to dispose them after gaining sight of them. In return, she ordered her team to depart and get rid of the security behind plain sight as she intends to distract everyone from the commotion by undressing and posing as a dancer, using a pole to her advantage. Afterwards, the team managed to seize the Corpo-network phones of the executives, that contains vital information after she killed them while posing as a prostitute, which concludes that she broke all of their necks, which contrary to the documented footage that the executives were poisoned by a G/NEX rebel who posed as a barman.

After congratulating her own team in the operation, she puts on her armour and coincidentally meets SHADOW, which she simply stared at him without any words nor emotion, and rides away afterwards, hoping to look for something interesting in Rutherland. Much to her annoyance, she comes across a dark place, and a research facility that looks like a PROJECT HQ in the country. She spent a year infiltrating the building, relaying all vital info to her comrades every time she had the opportunity.

She uses infiltration and covert tactics as she blends in with ease across the building while wearing her distinctive suit. To maximise stealth, she only kills suspects inside the facility with knives and a silenced weapon. Security cameras occasionally indicate that she has a marksman rifle hidden in her "equipment" as she mows down distant opponents who approach the facility, most notably soldiers and four CEOs. Morcillo, Claude, Salvatore, and Irochi are the four.

Morcillo, it turns out, was the one who came up with the idea for ANNIHILATOR. Claude, on the other side, is recognised for supervising mecha manufacturing plants. Salvatore is a well-known former Command Line officer. Ezekiel, on the other side, is the masochistic mastermind behind the Corporate Draft, which explains the megacorporation's disproportionate number of female cyborg warriors. She then managed to disrupt an eight-executive meeting after COALESCENCE launched an assault in the same building.

She killed all ten executives much to the COALESCENCE's surprise, with a variation for Irochi herself, who was stabbed by her in euthanasia. Muldoon Lundgren is alarmed at the quick assassinations of ten executives. Much to his curiosity, the nightrider stayed off the radar against PROJECT as she drives around Rutherland again, the presence of the nightrider, felt again. Ruthian citizens confirm that her daily rounds in the country in the year have been met with positive feedback, even if she proves to be edgy in her methods.

##### Supreme Eight

> "So these megacorp fools have a headquarters in Rutherland? How cute. They should never touch this country, it sickens me and every Ruthian citizen in the country, and the entire planet hates their bases."
>
> - Rachelle discovering the PROJECT h.q and infiltrating it.

Before heading out to kill more hi-profile PROJECT targets, she has been informed that Sylas Clement has been cleared and is working on a few missions that involve liberating prison camps. He has been assigned to Rachelle's previous team to watch his thirst for killing or earning money and keep him from going insane. Amanda is dissatisfied with the change, but Lauren Van Damme tells her that Palmer will get rid of him shortly.

Rachelle decides to keep a low profile as she completes contracts set by the COALESCENCE, wishing the team success as they embark on an operation to liberate prison camps, including a whole ship that PROJECT has used as a camp in the sea of Rutherland. She is able to gain access from the local police department to use an office for an advantage, briefly posing as a Ruthian Police Force officer on occasion, but she uses the office as her sniping nest, allowing her to shoot targets beyond a kilometre with ease using her sniper rifle. Afterwards, she crashed a military operation by sabotaging numerous SCOUT Walker and HUNTER Walker mechas as she saved numerous young rebels, whom are actually sided with the G/NEX.

COALESCENCE is disappointed by the presence of the megacorporation's HQ on Rutherland, ordering a full-out assault on the building. They stormed the building with advanced tactics and proceeded to the objective, slaughtering all armed personnel they come across with as they advance upwards the facility, Palmer requests that the remaining eight of them are her own kills, which didn't earn any disagreements, and they carried on as they managed to bypass the security system defences and breached their main office, with her shooting them dead, and rips Faye in half with no effort. She simply states that they should clean the place up, after her aggressive move of tearing someone apart.

Palmer puts on full-on tactical gear over her suit as PROJECT has sent the counter espionage unit against them. It was a long and gruelling close combat scenario, which they even sent Gray Wolf to assassinate Palmer, to no avail, as she simply killed him with a shot to his eye from a long ranged assault rifle, which the bullet was fired at a distance of 805 yards. She is slightly wounded after the building has collapsed, suffering no fractures and injuries, but rather internal bleeding in her midsection after a stunt she pulled when dodging debris. As a result, she puts a break on her nightriding crusade as emphasise the use of darkness to kill her opponents, again, knowing that haemorrhage can limit her potential of performing reckless or dangerous feats.

##### The Last Ride

> "I know you're seeing this live feed PROJECT. Mark my words. The Hunt, is ON."
>
> - PSYLOCKE-832 on the mining site.

She prepares herself for a last ride as the crusading nightrider. Notably, she has gained numerous rivals, such as Gray Wolf, INTERCEPTOR-409, Sylas Clement and even the murderous APEX-363. COALESCENCE gave her an all-clear to invade a mining site alone, or with backup. She chose neither, wanting the entirety of their armed operatives to wait for her word.

Not long after, a strange mecha managed to intercept her position as it suddenly outsmarted her, bursting through a wall and proceeds to seemingly demolish her DARK RUNNER bike and fling her to the ground, which she quickly fixed by landing precisely. APEX-363 admits to the nightrider that he is responsible for the heinous genocide he perpetrated on the people of Rutherland. She just shrugs, knowing he is a vile robotic creature who kills for pleasure. Demanding a close-up "personal" fight, she pulls out her glaive and a fight is underway; Which didn't go well for the beast, not expecting her superior combat skills that ends up causing his defeat, and the latter even ripping out one of his tooth using her blade of the glaive. As expected, he flees despite his use of stealth and brute force in the entire confrontation.

A mining site of the megacorporation was sighted in the country, allowing the NIGHTSTALKER to stalk hundreds of Command Line soldiers towards the site of the same country for her final crusade as the nightrider. She was narrowly detected after racking up a body count, forcing her to brutally kill most of them through her own glaive again, stabbing them with precision, avoiding any attention from her kills; forcing the entire miners to evacuate inside the mines, and the soldiers are ordered to capture and neutralise her.

As she slaughters the remaining soldiers, she turned attention to herself and lets the guards aim their weapons at her. PROJECT has a live feed of this, so she used her wrist computer to deliver something in their servers. It was a specialised EMP weapon that effectively shut downed any of their electronic gadgets, allowing COALESCENCE forces to rally up behind her, and she drives away, even performing a headshot with a sniper rifle at the enemy a thousand yards away, whilst riding at high speeds.

The Chairman and the COO has congratulated them for a completely successful operation. Sylas Clement takes note of this, and questions the true potential of her abilities, which she simply silenced him with her words: "It is, and always won't fit your style."

Overall, she was a nightrider who spent her entire career guarding Domino and the other Ruthian cities, barely appearing to her prey. She was so adept in her deception that even after her seemingly endless years there was little reliable proof that she is a terrible killer who stalks her prey at night. Lastly, the assassin was all about finesse, fully utilising her enormously formidable skills of stealth and deception. Afterwards, she proceeds to trade stealth with all-out combat as an assassin in the field.

### PROJECT-G/NEX War

   PSYLOCKE-832, also known as PROJECT NIGHTSTALKER, is the planet's deadliest assassin who takes no prisoners on the battlefield and is always on the lookout for a worthy opponent because she is tired of fighting foes who can barely match her raw fighting ability. It is unsurprising that she is currently facing opposition from the G/NEX resistance and, of course, PROJECT corporation. Her association with COALESCENCE, in particular, earned her global recognition and respect, as they were aware of her true identity and galactic-level skill.

In her duty as an assassin, known for being a nightrider with her own super fast motorcycle that she rides around Rutherland or somewhere in the planet in her spare time. PROJECT GRANDIOSE has been her greatest rival. The two are elite assassins who are extremely eager to prove their dominance against each other.

#### Rampancy: Uninterested

PSYLOCKE-832 was not involved in this incident regarding the chaos instigated by BRONZAMITE-625 that evolved into a reckless series of rampages in Technovolk, thanks to OBELISK and TAGGART starting a ground shattering brawl that left the city into nothing but rubble and ash. As a result, she denied OMAR-CONSTRUCT's invitation for her to survey the wreckage for a proposed COALESCENCE headquarters. Her refusal is due to the Van Dammes' lack of enthusiasm for expanding their territories and are instead focused on keeping their security firm safe in the nation of Rutherland. Following that, she spends her time as a nightrider riding the night streets in style or ensuring her bike is in pristine working order. Notably, she attends a few public events, where she draws attention due to her appearance and fashion. As expected, the G/NEX attempts to document her activities; with some success, as she managed to disable the tracking device implanted in her (shelved) armour by EQUINOX-612.

She notably expressed her disappointment on EQUINOX-612 due to putting a tracker on her armour. Due to this, she simply leaves them with a simple message; Not wanting the rebels to ruin her day and they are asked to only send a message whenever there is an important matter that needs her help. Afterwards, she contacts Michael Nexima to invent something that can revive BISHOP-805. He refuses at first, but relents to her after realising that reviving him was possible,

#### The COALESCENCE: 3012

> "I see, Violet. You're with the resistance. You've proven yourself valuable. I won't join no matter your numbers, However. There is one thing is certain.... If your situations get out of hand, just ask RUBICORE, COALESCENCE, or **me**."
>
> - PSYLOCKE-832 turning to the G/NEX resistance.

##### NIGHSTALKER: A Hero in Black and Purple

While away from Rutherland, PSYLOCKE-832 was said to be freely assassinating heinous criminals, terrorists and major figures all around the entire Nexonia Prime, much to the security company's amusement. Though it seems insane for her part, it is actually positive and has a benefit for nevanity. However, her entertainment was cut short when news erupt due to the fact that PROJECT has invaded COALESCENCE's main territory, Rowley; which is Rutherland's capital. After that, she simply rides around Rutherland to cleanse her boredom, knowing that the base does not have any form of entertainment, in her own perspective.

Upon seeing in a video that the Van Dammes were held hostage by SHADOW, MEDARDA and of course, GRANDIOSE; PSYLOCKE-832 becomes agitated and decides to mobilise. She has developed the urge to include someone for this mission, that is when VI-516 became her partner for this one; Likely intending to *use* her in order to save the company's most important people, and recover the AI far **easier**. They agreed to stop the heist, and recover the stolen AI. Notably, she sent a message towards the three through a video call. After that, she summons her bike through nanotechnology as she embark on the quest to recover the DATA, which she has also used the system to her own benefits.

The two meet up in some place and fended off a horde, after that; they removed their armour, the two quickly revealed their true identities. VI-516 tries to persuade her by explaining her real name and a few details about her personal life, but the assassin shrugs and says she knows everyone she meets. As a result, the two had a heated argument, with the brawler being outsmarted with ease. PSYLOCKE-832 does, however, apologise for beating the rebels years ago. Which the latter accepted the apology. She also compliments her size and beauty, which the latter only blushed, stating that they should focus instead of *oozing* at her, as the COALESCENCE's DATA has been stolen due to a three-man-team sent by the megacorporation.

VI-516 rides with her on a motorcycle to intercept the ARMADILLO truck and intercept the PROJECT convoy. After an intense confrontation while riding, JINX-362 abruptly stops the chase by using her rocket launcher to blow up the truck, killing the driver and causing everyone to get knocked out, except for PSYLOCKE-832 who seems dazed, partially unconscious. Even if JINX-362 effectively hampered the chase, the combined efforts of the nightrider and knuckle-cracker were beneficial in recovering the stolen AI. PSYLOCKE-832 and VI-516 work together to kill GRANDIOSE with their combined attacks, throwing him to a building, broken to pieces. MEDARDA and SHADOW engage in melee and hand-to-hand combat, which they subdue VI-516, but the assassin outmatches them with no effort (Notably, she *effortlessly* overpowers MEDARDA) and uses again her glaive to thwart them away, causing SHADOW to retreat to the shadows and MEDARDA to retreat, while carrying GRANDIOSE's battered cybernetic body.

PSYLOCKE-832 gratefully takes the stolen AI's operating chip from VI-516, which the resistance then follows up with her. With the G/NEX Resistance's consent, she converses with them, offered a small advice, winked and walks away before meeting up with COALESCENCE agents on a bridge. ASHE-159 asks EQUINOX-612 to keep an eye on her, but FIONA-384 and SCYLLA-028 assured her that there's no doubts to trust the nightrider, which they also slanged her as the "Obsidian assassin". As the artificial intelligence is now back to full use, they utilise it in order to fight the megacorporation in their own ways.

##### Secret Forces

She has chosen to met TRISTANNA-651 someplace amid the ruins of Losteria after she successfully recovered the DATA's operational chip with the assistance of VI-516. However, the two had made an arrangement to meet without any armour. When they arrived meet, she is taken aback by the fact that she lacks cybernetics. The latter confirms that more than a quarter of PROJECT's warriors, such as ASHE-159, BRIENNE-218, and BEN-612, are not transformed into cyborgs. They talked about their collaboration, and TRISTANNA-651 suggested that she should help the resistance on a daily basis. **PSYLOCKE-832** shrugged, as she already did prior.

A drone, however, saw them after they made extreme efforts to avoid detection. As a result, when prior attempts failed, a small patrol of Command Line forces was dispatched to capture them for interrogation. PSYLOCKE-832 and TRISTANNA-651 were tasked to be captured by OLIVEIRI-709. As a result, the two collaborated to get around them. Despite the duo's best attempts, the blade dancer ends up getting shot in the chest by OLIVEIRI-709. However, PSYLOCKE-832 quickly (Despite the plasma being extremely powerful) saves her by treating her wounds, subduing the latter with an electric round, and leave the place with her motorcycle.

To make it not dramatic, She requests the latter to disappear when entering the resistance's headquarters. She accepts the requests before TRISTANNA-651 hugs the elite assassin, who shown annoyance, but quickly accepts and smiles, knowing that they trust each other, and have been developing a good friendship. SCYLLA-028 was quick to notice this and teases them, claiming that they are lesbians, to which TRISTANNA-651 merely shrugged at her with a long face and sat down in relief. She actually admits that Rachelle is very attractive, in fact. SCYLLA-028 shrugs, saying that it is quite obvious; But she is married and seems to have some type of deep goal.

#### Going All Out

##### Defence of Obrinia

PSYLOCKE-832 becomes the RUBICORE's primary espionage operative four years later. As a result, she has gained the admiration of almost everyone on the planet, including the PROJECT corporation. As an espionage operative, she frequently engages in covert operations on the planet Nexonia Prime. As a form of reparation, she initiates video conversations with the G/NEX rebels on occasion. Not to mention, her fellow agents suggests she should receive a higher pay check. However, she shrugged; Her goal is to revive a hero, and no amount of money would be able to fulfil that, only her and a certain business titan can do so.

As their hired assassin, she occasionally fights with RUBICORE soldiers in various areas throughout the globe. COALESCENCE was considered to be stronger than ever when she and VI-516 successfully halted the heist during the 3012 chase, and demonstrating the power of their AI. Notably, she has displayed her marksmanship talents by shooting PROJECT VATROX's eye, effectively blinding and killing him (temporarily) from a distance of 5027.4 metres away with a .408 sniper calibre cartridge. She also took things to a whole new level, as she helped the resistance liberate concentration camps of the megacorporation. After that, PSYLOCKE-832 chose to participate in the defence of Obrinia, effectively assisting her allies, and has shown disinterest on facing her rival again, whose cyborg form is back again to fight her.

##### Fellow Assassins

SCYLLA-028 and PSYLOCKE-832 have agreed to work together on a secret mission, with consent from the resistance. This annoys VI-516 because she hasn't been able to accompany PSYLOCKE-832 again after the latter graciously declined her request, knowing that she actually *used* her and was the key to 'effortlessly' stop the heist during the events of the year 3012. Much to PSYLOCKE-832's chagrin, VI-516 punched her in the stomach with the gauntlet, she retorts by unleashing three kicks, and a Hand-to-hand combat fight breaks out. VI-516 got mopped by the latter, despite her cybernetics.

The two have travelled to Rutherland, where PSYLOCKE-832 informs the latter that she has been quite missing from the security company since the events of 3012. As a result, SCYLLA-028 allows her to enter the company's headquarters for an urgent meeting and waits outside for her. Following that, PSYLOCKE-832 emerges from the headquarters, now as the unarmoured Rachelle. The Lead Assassin is perplexed, claiming that she should wear her suit the most of the time. The latter implies that the mission is straightforward and does not involve the megacorporation, much to the latter's relief. She takes off her armour as well.

As a result, the two start on a quest without any PROJECT technology, while Ashe scouts them from afar without her PROJECT technology. They eventually arrived at their destination, Losteria. They agreed to scour the area for anything valuable, while the two devised a strategy to make TRISTANNA-651's liberation of her homeland a little easier than usual. Surprisingly, there are no PROJECT forces near Grunthel. Rachelle assumes that it could be a trap, so she advices Scylla to be cautious. They found almost nothing, so they laid out the trap sequences that the corporation's forces would fall upon at Losteria and quickly travelled to Valenthia. Scylla wanted to know the truth about her mother's tragedy, so they headed to the Weeping Woods. Rachelle leaves her alone in her old house while quickly killing numerous terrorists and demons. As a result, she concludes that VATROX may be there.

Scylla discovers her mother is still, alive. They have reunited and she thanks her for saving them, and the fellow people of Valenthia. Her mother was able to deduce that she in fact, SCYLLA-028. Rachelle stumbles upon the scene, suggesting that they should depart and live on the Panamoan Republic, with Scylla assuring it is surely safe in the resistance headquarters. They were a little late, as PROJECT has sent a search party. To counteract, Rachelle diverted their attention, allowing Scylla and her mother to escape the forest, and proceed to the awaiting NEXIJET. Rachelle effectively sniped the search party members with ease and fought their cyborg ninjas with her glaive, effortlessly.

Their quest has been successfully finished, without hitches. Scylla, along with fellow warriors Fiona and Brienne, is suggested by Rachelle to travel and return to Valenthia someday. As a result, she hugs her and expresses gratitude for her participation in the mission. Ashe overheard the conversation while flying the NEXIJET, but she ultimately approved of the suggestion and listened to it without animosity.

*Ashe wanted Rachelle to go with her in Avarshi someday, after the global war is completely over.*

##### Siege of Daitoshi

During the Siege of Daitoshi, PSYLOCKE-832 was challenged by ASHE-159 to command a small team of G/NEX rebels while they were all fighting in Daitoshi. As a result, she accepts the challenge from the group's leader, bringing FIONA-384 and SCYLLA-028 with her. Also, she commands the leader for liberating Avarshi all by herself, which earns the surprise of the two rebels, questioning on why didn't she bring them to liberate such country. The Frost Archer strikes back to her as well, commenting that she saved the entire COALESCENCE by herself back on Rutherland, knowing her heroic actions yet again.

Following that, PSYLOCKE-832 leads FIONA-384 and SCYLLA-028 into battle, purposefully allowing GRANDIOSE and MEDARDA to pursue them, but she was the first to charge into the fight and went guns blazing midair after jumping off a building, while the two are trailing behind her. As expected, they made a spectacular landing and proceeded to fight with a straightforward strategy: destroy all PROJECT forces. FIONA-384 was the first to rescue civilians on the entire siege, while ASHE-159 surveys the entire place amidst the fighting. PSYLOCKE-832's leadership of the three-man team has been spectacular so far, not having any mistakes or hiccups along the entire operation; As RUBICORE managed to plunge the Command Line forces into defeat. She even goes so far to sent a few RUBICORE soldiers tasked on rescuing innocent people trapped in the Siege. Not to mention, COALESCENCE has sent her a relief package, allowing to supply her allies with basic necessities and her own technology.

Notably, **PSYLOCKE-832** managed to nearly kill MEDARDA with her weakest kick. SCYLLA-028 fought GRANDIOSE as well, but she lost, causing PSYLOCKE-832 to end it for herself, utilising her own skills against him, but he cowardly flees, hoping to re-strategise against her someday. After a lengthy and difficult triumph on the Siege of Daitoshi, she returned to Rutherland and was able to create the technology needed to resurrect BISHOP-805.

##### Battle of Supremandy

PSYLOCKE-832 gets captured by her rival and she is defenceless for the first time due to being locked by his advanced restraints with a nanotech barrier. As a result, she has no option of escaping but to talk or, more likely, spit on him. GRANDIOSE takes advantage of her as a result, even touching her improperly. He punches her in the jaw, a possible reference to her destroying his natural jaw in A Call to Arms. However, He didn't expect someone to be knocking the door of the headquarters, Upon checking the gate, a MK6 Titan tank barges in, fires the cannon in the air, while VI-516, TRISTANNA-651, FIONA-384 and ASHE-159 come out, quickly rescuing and disabling PSYLOCKE-832's restraints.

SCYLLA-028 mocks her for being defenceless, to which she retorted by proving that it cannot be broken by physical means. After destroying her restraints, The nightrider responds to them with a wink and gave them her tracking grenades as a result of her appreciation. She attempts to flee, but is stopped when SCYLLA-028 eventually breaks her silence and *reveals* PSYLOCKE-832's actual motivations. She correctly deduces that the obsidian assassin is carrying out all of these measures in order to avenge or possibly resuscitate BISHOP-805. ASHE-159 claims to recognise him, and FIONA-384 reveals that she once met him back in the day when he was a knight. TRISTANNA-651, much to surprise, was also present to hear it.

As a result, PSYLOCKE-832 warns them to remain away from her, knowing that they could ruin her efforts to resurrect BISHOP-805, despite TRISTANNA-651's pleas to stay with them. Without warning, she flees and swiftly engages in the *Battle of Supremandy*, which the union won, but she is exceedingly disappointed that certain rebels are willing to join the quest to resurrect her wife, which may hinder her success.

#### Technological Lies

> "I may be a purple ledger, but I'm a born hero. You're nothing but a red ledger, the showboating assassin with a big, egotistical mouth."

> PSYLOCKE-832's last words to PROJECT GRANDIOSE before killing him.

##### A Dark Hero

She went to the Obsidian Mountains with a few COALESCENCE operatives. She has led them in a campaign of assassination against PROJECT. She then observed the actual character of Sylas Clement, the ultimate COALESCENCE contract assassin. The option is simple: either join him in killing the G/NEX rebels to bring PROJECT to an end by their own means, or fight all of them to the death. PSYLOCKE-832 loaded her firearm and began aiming at him. During this argument, she removed her own armour to demonstrate her authority and demanded his exact motivations. Sylas admits that he envied her for being the security company's elite assassin while he was only a waging mercenary. In this year, the security firm's reputation is tarnishing thanks to Sylas, yet again.

Rachelle quickly dismissed his claims, knowing that he only served COALESCENCE to kill people for money, which earns massive tensions among the team, knowing that Sylas is one of the most notable heroes. However, Rachelle lowers her rifle and gives him an icy stare; Easily seeing beneath his bluff. As a result, He consumes a NEXI-Steroid and proceeds to mercilessly fight her in Hand-to-hand combat. Rachelle instructs the remaining agents to keep out of the conflict. Sylas' somewhat better strength clearly allowed him to match Rachelle for a little while until she viciously fractures his shoulder and arm. She phoned the Van Dammes and live streamed a tape of Sylas' genuine motivations to capitalise on his disloyalty, earning the couple's anger. The Agents quickly open their eyes and point their weapons at him, while Rachelle asks them permission on to do whatever she wants against him, to which the couple only responded:

*"He's a traitor who only kills for money. Do whatever you need to cleanse our reputation."*

Rachelle tosses him into the air, expecting him to die by hitting his head on a mountain should he descend, but her other agents advised her that a bullet is better, thus she fatally killed him with a TAC-408 sniper rifle, delivering a round to his head while his corpse is soaring in the air a thousand metres high. Afterwards, they have completed their assassination campaign and she went separate ways by causing another large body count in Daitoshi, despite the partially rebuilt city.

##### Red and Purple Ledgers

To put an end to it once and for all, PSYLOCKE-832 returns to Roji and commits a "massacre" among Command Line forces, effortlessly assassinating over two hundred thousand soldiers. Because of the elite assassin's incredible feat of skill, she was called through the Van Dammes in a call and inquired about her whereabouts. It was KAZAMA-437, the stylistic PROJECT GRANDIOSE, and she still recalls their agreement to fight to the death in Henvul, a city on Roji. SCYLLA-028 jokingly calls her, instantly analysing that she travelled to a certain place to kill her rival, to which PSYLOCKE-832 replied by stating she'll kill that fashionable marksman cyborg.

PROJECT GRANDIOSE quickly locates her, but he sends his best soldiers against her to give the elite assassin a proper challenge. To mock him, she hurls the robotic heads of three soldiers she killed while GRANDIOSE was doing nothing but surfing the internet and reading the news, which the heads landed near him on an overpassing bridge amidst his time of using a corpo-network. However, he stops his doing and quickly gestures for her to follow in a dark alleyway.

Following the speech, there is a fight. GRANDIOSE instantly dares her to a fight while he exploits the city by wall running and jumping from buildings and bridges, which she appears to have quickly followed while attacking at high speeds, allowing him to taunt her, stating that her skill can only lead her so far, but managed to outsmart her with an entrapment field. Unbeknownst to him, The nightrider has a trick against him and unmasks herself while using her wrist computer to track his location, as a tracking grenade is implanted on his back, even if he managed to get away from her at least a thousand meters away. To make matters worse, he gets collided over by **PSYLOCKE-832** in her bike and kicks him to a wall, quickly dismounting from her bike, with the full intention of killing him for good.

As the two assassins are ready to kill each other, GRANDIOSE quickly counters her moves despite his state and shoots her in the chest, with some effect. However, PSYLOCKE-832 decides to toy with him until her rival's skills got the best of him, losing afterwards after she threw him to a wall, shot him dead in the head and rubble drops on him. As a result, he goes offline. His head module detaches from him and attempts to reconnect in order to revive him, but she was able to find out and quickly stabbed the module, and his Power core, effectively killing him while preventing any revival attempts.

Fortunately, she has only one mission left, which has been the most important: *Revive BISHOP-805; Which she believed that he'll finish what the Darklord has started.*

### Codename: REVIVAL

#### Testing the Limits

PSYLOCKE-832 intentionally cuts off contacts with everyone but COALESCENCE, deciding that her prior acts of heroism are already enough, and the presence of the G/NEX rebels has been distracting her from her real mission, which is to resuscitate BISHOP-805. When the Van Dammes questioned her about her recent behaviour, she takes off her armour and requests that they refer to her by her original name instead, indicating that her role in the COALESCENCE security firm is coming to an end.

The Van Dammes were taken aback, claiming she is far too valuable to leave the company. Rachelle, on the other hand, has praised both of them for providing her with a location that respected her after Nicolas died at the hands of the Darklord. As a result, the two accepted her heartfelt message before departing Rutherland for the Panamoan Republic, planning to meet Michael Nexima, knowing that her integrated equipment is now capable of resurrecting a deceased individual. Rachelle hugs him and congratulates him on keeping his invention out of hostile hands. Michael also stated that while she was away from his firm, he created numerous defence systems all around the planet, believing that it would help against PROJECT.

Rachelle, mentally preparing herself for Nicholas' return, asks Nexima to stay put and not start creating or testing the chamber while she travels, ostensibly to reminisce about her life with him. This includes going to his house, traveling to the darker depths of Valenthia, and stargazing in space to honour his heroic deeds beyond the planet, as well as his various war victories all over Nexonia Prime. Of course, she did all of those 'recreational activities' by herself until she was stalked by PROJECT forces, at which point she requested security from COALESCENCE, apparently not in the mood to use her combat skills.

Using her acquired resources, Nexima helped her set up the resuscitation chamber, complete with Nicholas Wolfgang Bale's real corpse that has been sneakily retrieved from his grave by Rachelle a few hours ago. To avoid it's discovery, she has effectively blocked communications regarding the G/NEX, knowing that they are extremely nosy to any of her activities, which Nexima exclaims that they really keep an eye on her, as if they didn't have an assassin on their team. Despite their clever strategy to block off communications, the resistance found out *somehow* about the matter. It was due to TRISTANNA-651; Likely curious about her close friend's current status as she isn't responding back to all of her private messages. ASHE-159 gained curiosity as a result. Nexima quickly discovers the two of them cleverly walking around the NRC tower, which he immediately calls their attention and brings them to an interrogation room.

Upon returning back to the NRC tower, Rachelle questions what happened on the building, to which Nexima privately message her by stating: "*Ashe and Tristanna are here. Curious of your activities.*"

She also responds to him: "*How about that Valenthian duelist cyborg with a Monterissan accent?*". This didn't earn a response from him, as Fiona wasn't present in the building, only the two others.

Rachelle and Michael had a lengthy conversation in their private messages, as calling would only deduce the true commotion. Nexima also questioned to why does the duo look *natural*, which they respond by stating that they are not cybernetic, much to his expectations upon observing their looks. He used FIB interrogation techniques in order to reveal their intentions, but Ashe asserts her authority that he has been helpful to them, and he shouldn't keep secrets. He simply counters by saying everyone needs a bit of privacy, even if it seems secretive. Tristanna also convinced him to say something about Rachelle's status, as a friend. He merely shrugs and concludes the interrogation by simply giving them advice, which is to respect her privacy, claiming that she's in grief.

Ashe understands, but Tristanna threatens Nexima with her levitating blades, but he merely shrugs as he somehow *perfectly* blocks a hit with his own fingertips. After the duo left, Rachelle observes the two leaving the skyscraper in mild disappointment whilst signing a few papers, knowing that she has to do it in order to stay as a member of the corporation. She quickly understands what Nexima has been up to after the duo left, and they start their quest to revive Nicholas Wolfgang Bale, aka BISHOP-805.

However, She has the urge to fight in combat again, with her allowing Nexima to do the rest of the job, intending to finish the megacorporation, like most of the planet does. PSYLOCKE-832 is now back into action, as COALESCENCE agents are now instantly ordered to finish off PROJECT in whatever means possible. As a result, she completes quick hit-and-run operations throughout the planet, even in the country of Valenthia and Losteria. She also travelled to Avarshi, surprised to see the growing population. However, reports are rampant that COALESCENCE territory has been taken over by PROJECT forces, harshly trapping the Van Dammes and simply stay in their headquarters for survival, whilst trying everyone to get their defences at full power.

PSYLOCKE-832 wasted no time calling the Van Dammes as she comes to her aid and it allowed her to fend off massive amounts of Command Line soldiers, alongside mechas and even some aircraft, which she took out by using launchers or AA batteries. Afterwards, she ended up meeting SHADOW and he demands her to a duel. Accepting it, she pulls out her glaive and fights the megacorporation's infamous stealth operative. The fight was won by her despite sustaining abdominal wounds from SHADOW's blades. SHADOW actually acknowledges her skills and talent before fleeing, intending to bring ANNIHILATOR unto Rutherland.

As ANNIHILATOR appears, he quickly banishes her into the cyberspace for a duel. Unprepared, she still managed to hold her own against him, without getting hit and was able to escape the realm by hijacking his systems and using the hammer to disable the entrapment even if it was a defeat. However, He outsmarts her and fatally stabs her on the stomach with his finger, before proceeding to throw her to the ground. SHADOW physically beats her up, with a brutal body shot and resulting in destroying her visor and injuring the left eye to the point of it closing in pain. As she crawled in the ground helpless, she expects COALESCENCE agents to help her extract from a dangerous condition. However, SHADOW quickly halted their attempts of rescuing the obsidian assassin due to his superior skills, savouring his moment as he is on the verge of killing a worthy opponent. However, she quickly thwarts his attempts of ending her life by her tracking grenades that are implanted on his wrist, causing him to flee after an explosion. The entirety of the G/NEX rebels have heard of COALESCENCE's downfall and a certain portion of them made it clear to find her amidst the chaos on Rutherland.

To their surprise, she is extremely wounded, hand clutching on her stomach, visor destroyed and her left eye busted. TRISTANNA-651, ASHE-159, SCYLLA-028 and FIONA-384 quickly sought to help her, but she only smiled in pain. Her wounds are too severe for her regenerative abilities to handle, which concerns the four. VI-516 also comes, curious to why aren't they helping her. PSYLOCKE-832 simply admits she'll die as a hero in this entire war. She calls the Van Dammes and live streams herself in an effort for the planet to remember her, before seemingly passing out from her wounds. Not wanting her to die in the cold, the five quickly attempted to revive her. The rebels' medical devices fail to work on her, forcing on them to use a Fujiwara Nanostimulant; Which was found by SHIRO-113.

Unbeknownst to them, she has inquired Nexima about the chamber. He has made good progress, she takes note of the good new placed a firm grip on ASHE-159 and SCYLLA-028's wrists. She tries to look at the five of them, weakly as she gracefully rejects on using the nanostimulant, preferring to die honourably.

After a few recalibration sessions, He has prepared the chamber thanks to Rachelle's headstart. Inserting his reconstructed corpse into place, Nexima have activated the main console and starts the resuscitation process. Fortunately, she lets Nexima perform the rest of activity in one of the most uppermost floors, which minimises any potential dangers on doing such dangerous stunt. Less than expected, it causes a surge in the room, which attracts the attention of these workers on the lower floors, but as soon he they stabilised the chamber's power unit, a powerful beam fired up in the sky, causing the entire sky to turn into blue.

She looked up in the sky, dead. Her arms drop to the floor; Although she was timely saved by the rebels by injecting her with a Fujiwara Nanostimulant to completely bring her back to life.

#### Phenomenal Return

She stared up in the sky, and fades away. Her arms quickly dropped to the floor; The rebels simply looked at the assassin in respect of her demise, with her most trusted ones touching her face or chest in grief. However, she was timely saved by the rebels by injecting her with a Fujiwara Nanostimulant to completely bring her back to life. As the bright beam of light in the NRC tower blinds everyone, PROJECT divides their remaining Command Line forces into the G/NEX forces in Rutherland, and in the Panamoan Republic; Apparently disturbed by the beam of light emitted far away. An amnesiac REDEEMER-865 emerges from the beacon and quickly free falls from the sky, landing just outside Mount Olympus. Knowing that he has spent more than enough time to rebuild his memory and newfound knowledge on the megacorporation, he quickly travels around the country; Ending up getting witnessed by RUBICORE forces.

The rebels quickly defended her position as the nightrider declares that she is still too exhausted to fight, until they were overrun by the last Mecha cavalry in their position. To make matters worse, they have sent a PHALANX-ECT mecha, effectively turning the fight in Rutherland into a one-sided slaughter. However, the cavalry disappears after someone fired numerous large plasma explosives, which was no other than REDEEMER-865 himself. He has brought his own rebellion to cleanse Rutherland, knowing that COALESCENCE is left in ruins after the invasion; But **PSYLOCKE-832** quickly runs to him, pins him to the wall, but he counters by doing the same, and the two proceed to recognise each other.

The G/NEX rebels wonder who's the mysterious hero in such armour with impressive technology. SCYLLA-028 quickly tells the truth as the couple had an intimate moment after REDEEMER-865 has managed to completely restore his memory. **PSYLOCKE-832** bids the rebels a farewell as the power couple departs from the country for some reason, likely to plan their way of saving the planet, yet again. The Rebels are left in there, leaving them questions about the obsidian assassin's lover. Unfortunately, their chances of approaching the COALESCENCE headquarters are thwarted by PROJECT ANNIHILATOR. As the couple had reunited, they had intercourse to prove he isn't a holographic figure from the Digital Realm, and quickly focus on their plan to save the planet. The rebels on the other hand, are banished into the cyberspace; No room to escape and they are forced into a duel against ANNIHILATOR himself.

### Bleeding Edge: Ultimatum

As she assisted REDEEMER-865 in completing his goal of regaining his memories, they effectively reminisced about their love history, knowing that their love could be the key to overcoming ANNIHILATOR if they ever faced him again. The stoic spouse proves to have known all of the mecha overlord's deceptions and tactics that made him an unstoppable ruler of a dimension apart from the physical world. She even acknowledges that the rebels were damaging to her goal of resurrecting him, to which he just reassures her that they'll cut them off after the aftermath is done, knowing that the evil overlord is fighting the remaining G/NEX rebels in the realm.

REDEEMER-865 had lectured her everything about PROJECT ANNIHILATOR. This was a little complicated for her to take in, but she understood all of the information, knowing that her wife won't be returning to the cyberspace, with the latter admitting that he hated the very place, but he wanted his own rebels to finish the fight against him, and kill the overlord, which he motivated her to settle the score.

#### An Urgent Need

Much to her chagrin, the G/NEX is suffering against ANNIHILATOR. With that in mind, RUBICORE forces quickly informed the Obsidian Assassin about their failed attempts to enter the dimension, which she is provided with a chance of entering into the Digital Realm. She is conflicted, owing to her rocky relationship with the rebels, which she pondered if they are worth saving, or leaving them to sacrifice is better, for the collective good.

#### Obsidian Intervention

She has finally entered the realm, throwing multiple chunks of Obsidian and quickly shot ANNIHILATOR 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. She saw 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 ends her words with: *Don't mention it*.

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.

#### NIGHTSTALKER, GUARDIAN combo

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.

### Victory: ANNIHILATOR, annihilated.

As she leads them to destroy the SERVER's Sector 07, and fending off the last but massive army of ANNIHILATOR, REDEEMER-865 has speared ANNIHILATOR into the core itself, therefore destroying it and rendering him extremely damaged, incapable of any possible self-repairs. As a result, his minions magnetise to him, and as she was about to kill him, OLIVEIRI-709 halts her, and takes her glaive. She proves that no one has suffered against the tyrant, the same way as her, forcing 832 to accept her decision as they all protect themselves while 709 delivers the killing blow on the tyrant.

## Finale: Took a Heavy Burden

> "Now I feel getting old after my skills are tested with these endless wars. Time to put it away, and try something different. Perhaps politics will do the job."
>
> - Rachelle on her retirement.

### True Retirement

Seeing the tyrant as dead, her husband holds her hand as they all make it to the Portal. Acknowledging their hardwork, and shared a hug that will last a lifetime, for 709. Rachelle and Nicholas have simply enjoyed a simple life, free of all kinds of work or disruption, as they return to the Physical World, but they intend to take over galactic politics someday. The two stated that being a thousand years old and their constant existence of being a soldier, mercenary, or assassin in endless wars are progressively tiring them out, which explains their plan to enter politics eventually.

### Epilogue

Because they both attended Ashe's funeral, Nicholas gives her a photograph of someone who spent the most time at the event. Rachelle confirms his suspicions that the woman is none other than Madeleine Clemirosa, known to a select few as the true, secret daughter of Ashe. Knowing that Nicholas is no longer interested in being a hero and has remained to retire, she is faced with a simple choice, comfort Madeleine, and offer her something that would make her, a truly remarkable hero for the new generations.

Rachelle trained Madeleine sometime in 3025, though it was only limited to the use of firearms and explosives, as she noted on how remarkable she is. With that being said, she knew; The legendary Ashe will continue her legacy, through her daughter.

*However, Rachelle requested to Madeleine to keep her involvement to her training to be secret before going off the grid.*

## Personality

PSYLOCKE-832 is a multifaceted elite assassin whose personality reflects a blend of contrasting traits, creating a character both captivating and mysterious. Her demeanor is shaped by a combination of acerbic wit, cold, calculating, seductive charm, benevolence, and flamboyance, creating a unique and unpredictable individual.

In the midst of high-stakes operations, PSYLOCKE-832 maintains a coolheaded composure. Her ability to analyze situations with precision and make calculated decisions contributes to her effectiveness as an elite operative. This astute nature allows her to navigate complex scenarios with ease.

Her seductive charm serves as a tool in her arsenal, allowing her to manipulate situations to her advantage. Despite her lethal capabilities, she also possesses a benevolent side, especially when dealing with those she deems deserving of her mercy. This complexity adds depth to her character, blurring the lines between ruthless assassin and compassionate individual. Notably, 832's flamboyant personality emerges in her actions and interactions. Whether it's executing precise maneuvers or engaging in verbal sparring, she exudes a flair that sets her apart. Her tolerance, a surprising trait for an assassin, makes her approachable to peers, fostering camaraderie within COALESCENCE.

Defined by a lone wolf attitude, she often operates independently, refusing assistance from others. This inclination may stem from the loss of BISHOP-805, intensifying her self-reliant nature. However, when circumstances demand collaboration, she proves to be a reliable team player. Her demonstrated leadership abilities shine when coordinating with COALESCENCE agents in various operations.

Last but not the least, she possesses a great sense of humor, tinged with cynicism, sets her apart. Her ability to find amusement in dire situations and deliver sharp-witted remarks endears her to those who appreciate her unconventional approach to the grim realities of her profession.

## Abilities

PSYLOCKE-832, with her superior Alpha physiology, opts for combat armour enhanced by cutting-edge technology, a testament to her rejection of cybernetics. This advanced armour not only provides enhanced survivability on the battlefield but also grants her unparalleled versatility. The fusion of Alpha attributes and state-of-the-art technology sets her apart as an unfairly overpowered combatant, allowing her to navigate the chaos of the *PROJECT-G/NEX War* with remarkable ease.

Her exceptional skills transcend the norm, allowing her to treat the entire war as if it were a videogame. Her proficiency with weapons, tactics, and strategic planning elevates her to a level where challenges become mere simulations for her adept abilities.

When it comes to a melee weapon of choice, the Mk. 9 HF Glaive, is a bladed staff that significantly enhances her already impressive reach. The blade's edges emit a radiant purple glow, symbolizing both elegance and lethality. This signature weapon becomes an extension of her formidable combat prowess, allowing her to engage adversaries with precision and flair.

Through rapid close combat, she has something that is both compact and versatile, the MaRUI9 Dagger Blasters serve as short dual energy knives that can seamlessly transition into laser blasters. Inspired by the design of Halo's energy sword, these weapons reflect PSYLOCKE-832's adaptability in both close-quarter combat and ranged engagements. In addition to her advanced weaponry, PSYLOCKE-832 effortlessly handles conventional firearms. Her mastery of a wide range of armaments further cements her status as an elite assassin, capable of adapting to various combat scenarios with ease.

### Technological Capabilities

* **THE NIGHTSTALKER**: PSYLOCKE-832's suit goes zero noise when intercepting targets or travelling in the dark, allowing her to stalk her prey with ease whilst remaining hidden under the dark. On the flip side, her armour is self repairing should any attack attempt to compromise its integrity, though it is not that useful against Redstone HF blades.

* **SILVER ROUND**: PSYLOCKE-832 fires a silver bullet from her sniper rifle. Aside from being powerful, it is also extremely toxic and corrosive to its targets.

* **CONDEMNED PLASMA**: Her sniper rifle is converted into a railgun. When a shot is fired, the opponent is effectively annihilated, or the supercharged plasma-coated bullet causes slow but gruesome injuries when struck in a wall.

* **FINAL HOUR**: Injects adrenaline into her body, increasing her speed and agility as well as her chameleon camouflage ability, not to mention boosting her healing ability, especially when injured.

* **Heads-Up Display**: Her combat and situational awareness improves tenfold when she wears the helmet, thanks to the heads up display, which includes all known important aspects such as location, target profile, distance measurements, health, and, of course, pretty much everything.

* **ARSENAL Mk.7**: She has access to an arsenal mounted on her back, powered by nanotechnology, hence the absurdly *miniature* size. She can use a RIA-920 railgun, a Mk. 9 HF Glaive and anything she chooses at the database that will suit her needs.

* **Prehensile Deployment System**: Her suit is prehensile, able to fold itself on PSYLOCKE-832 for use in combat. And her motorcycle is deployed through a *nanotechnological prehensile system*.

* **Filtration System**: Filters the suit if the wearer urinates or defecates inside it. It is unknown how the waste is released, but it is mostly ejected from the wearer's genital via nanotechnology.

* **Med GEL**: Medical GEL enhances her natural healing abilities. It amplifies the recovery speed while injured, she notably uses it in a last resort situation.

### Skills

* **Master Combatant**: PSYLOCKE-832, also known as PROJECT NIGHTSTALKER by PROJECT, is an overwhelmingly deadly combatant who can effortlessly fight with or without weapons. She can effortlessly overcome several opponents in hand-to-hand combat and use her weaponry to slaughter armies with ease. She can easily destroy the entire G/NEX, including SCYLLA-028, ASHE-159, and BRIENNE-218, with hand-to-hand combat alone, especially if no armour, cybernetics, or weapons are used. Even with full PROJECT gear, she can still defeat them. PROJECT despises her so much that they have repeatedly sought to *recreate* her fighting abilities in their cyborgs, with only PROJECT SHADOW's update proving successful.

* **Master Marksman**: PSYLOCKE-832 is an insanely skilled marksman; She is one of the best marksmen to ever live in the entire Nexonia Prime, easily known to score headshots at moving targets with ease, even at longer distances. Notably, she is widely respected as an excellent sniper, rivalling Katherine Amaranth's long range capabilities with a sniper rifle. COALESCENCE trusts her marksmanship skills to the point of singlehandedly relying on her to fire a shot that is vital to their strategical advantage in their operations. This also allowed her to teach Madeleine how to use a sniper rifle, particularly without deploying the bipod.

* **Master Seductress**: She is easily capable of seducing men and women alike for her to gain a strategical disadvantage. Her attractive looks and flawless tactics allow her to do so with ease.
