Codename: REVIVAL

**Codename: REVIVAL** (Unofficially referred as "The ULTIMATE has returned", marked the revival of the late BISHOP-805, whom had his own consciousness stored and trapped in the Digital Realm. Effectively revived by PSYLOCKE-832, he now seeks to save the planet yet again, intending to finish ANNIHILATOR once and for all.

This entire phenomenon however, was instigated by Michael Nexima after he profited from rebuilding the Panamoan Republic alongside OMAR-CONSTRUCT's assistance.

## History

### Unspoken Truth

PSYLOCKE-832 has gone down a dark road after the death of BISHOP-805, effectively transforming herself into a merciless assassin who kills numerous evil aliens and nevians alike with ferocious fury. Unbeknownst to everyone, his consciousness remained miraculously intact, despite the fact that he lacked a physical body to occupy and return to Nexonia Prime alive. The truth is, his consciousness was stolen by PROJECT ANNIHILATOR and effectively banished him into the Digital Realm.

Now known as REDEEMER-865, he takes the form of a neon-lit green avatar clad in PALADIN armour, and his face is naturally concealed from the view. As a result, all the things that he can do are usually under the radar, quickly gathering knowledge about PROJECT itself, and the place he is trapped within, a separate dimension; He concludes that the realm can be combined into Nexonia Prime's physical world, turning the planet into a simulated environment of eternal suffering by ANNIHILATOR himself.

Due to the fact that time in the Digital Realm is measured in cycles, REDEEMER-865 has essentially spent nearly 500 years in cyberspace if measured in normal time. He had defied ANNIHILATOR's authority in the simulated world with that length of time by fighting back, developing his own armoury of weaponry, and utilising every bit of his skills to live in the realm, since dying within it would essentially delete him from existence and prohibit any revival efforts. Fortunately, He has managed to establish a host body for his revival, having discovered that Michael Nexima and his wife have readied their revival chamber to bring him back to life.

### Revival, and a Breaking Point

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, 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 entrenching 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.

Crawling 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 a very disturbing manner) 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 with a Fujiwara Nanostimulant.

Unbeknownst to them, she has inquired Nexima about the chamber. He has made good progress, she takes note of the good news, while placed a firm grip on ASHE-159 and SCYLLA-028's wrists. She tries to look at the five of them, weakly. She refused to be injected by the Nanostimulant, wanting to die honourably instead.

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.

### A Grand Return

PSYLOCKE-832 looked up in the sky, and fades away. Her arms quickly dropped to the floor; 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.

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

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 PSYLOCKE-832's position, 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 a large plasma spherical explosive, 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.

**End of Spoilers.**

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.

## Trivia

### General

* The term to describe this event is usually "*The ULTIMATE has returned*".
* BISHOP-805 renamed himself as the REDEEMER-865. Like OLIVEIRI-709, he is the key to defeating PROJECT ANNIHILATOR.
* The Panamoan Republic has made it a holiday to honour his revival, which is parallel to his birthday, September 4th.
* Due to this, Michael Nexima has been widely praised as people somehow found out that he was responsible for reviving him.
* PSYLOCKE-832 has survived against the odds twice; the first time was her near-death experience in *Technological Lies*, and the second time was in this spectacular event. Clearly, she has proven herself as one of the toughest warriors in existence.
