## Story

The story follows with a perplexed Grand Nielson plotting a number of ways to destroy the Rage Knights and bring about their “infringement” from the known universe of all that All-Seer created. The first part of the story starts with Nielson gathering a few of Krom's society of Bullies from past and present so they may assist him in pinpointing each of the individual Rage Knights’ weaknesses. Most notably Daniel Goldberg’s. Lactose, Titonic Tonic and Skinny Venti are first sent to the Rage Knights' Dome Base where they are tasked with detonating the building. In doing so, they would lure Hades himself or one of the other outcasts outward. However they soon discover that nobody's home. Nobody except Midlore, Aaron and Dill whom battle the group of three and quickly defeat them. A cautious Midlore leads the others to the authorities to inform them of the attack but upon arriving to the police departments, realize that the city's been *shut down* by a power failure. They're met up with Hades and Jessica Bree whom had been containing a surge of Gossip King and Process Picker Diseased that had recently sprang up and began attacking specific people. The group is separated when a larger Diseased called a Gossipja Attendant attacks the police department and crushes a majority of the streets' intersection. Hades is the first to lead the assault right into the creature's heart. Which leads to the Gossipja Attendant itself and its own personal superficial people and Diseased distracting the Greek God as it carries him off into the other side of town. This forces the remaining forces of Aaron, Dill, Bree and Midlore to give chase. Their efforts lead to a widespread surveillance from an ominous entity as it observes their adventure across town to the enormous and almost unworldly Worthyzone Kingdom.

When the group chases the creature to the kingdom, they're greeted by a Day One Predator Diseased. It Swats at them and beats the group of warriors around with an overwhelming power until another of the Rage Knights appear: *Daniel Goldberg*. The Perception magic using cameraman sends the creature away with teleportation, straining himself greatly in the process. The group carries Daniel into the Worthyzone Kingdom where they desperately search for Hades of any clues of the Greek God. Midlore is the first to notice a rather large and strangely placed television screen that seems to not fit with the majority of the building. A slam from upstairs *quakes* the entire floor. Leading the Rage Knights through the Worthyzone Kingdom gates where the Gossipja Attendant's body crashes through the room. A black Diseased blood soaked Hades arrives and tells the others of a chilling plot. According to a fallen Diseased slain by Hades, he reveals a crumpled *comic book vellum board* that shows a "forth-wall"-style comic of the group losing to a sinister entity. Though it ultimately appears to be a television-based Diseased, each of the Rage Knights believe its appearance is subjective. With the image seemingly being whatever they imagine. The group is ambushed by Process Pickers with several protruding faces, Cait-Shun Inductors and nightmarish screaming wraiths. Aaron tries to hold back the creatures alongside Dill but they're incredibly *outnumbered*. Daniel notices an analytical shape watching him and his friends. One with the same television-style head. Upon further observation, he realizes this shape is none other than a man they've studied and learned. *Ayden Atkinson* the *Grand Nielson,* a Hollywood producer whom longed to bring back his dead life and seize the galaxy with films that inspire evil. All while smiting his master, *Daniel Goldberg.* A frantic, paranoid Daniel goes berserk and draws his Verum Vita, blowing up the surrounding catwalks. He blasts down the fallen Gossipja Attendant's walling as well as a nearby Hades, Midlore and stray Diseased and flies for the top catwalk after Atkinson. Daniel and the former producer go into an intense perception magic-based brawl. Just about breaking each other's will and leading one another into a severe form of mental illness and strain. During this fight, Nielson plays with the possibility of the Rage Knights being *stolen* and the world of lookism and human superficiality ultimately causing not only Goldberg himself to become undone but Hades, Bree, Aaron, Dill, Midlore, Damon Bradley, Ragorias of the Rage Sword, Spencer "Dez" Holifeld and Hangi Bell as well. Leading to an incredibly isolating and *empty void.* Nielson plays with memories of Daniel's childhood and his confidence faults. This leads Daniel into a further mental trauma where he must locate the *real* him inside his own mind. Despite his struggles, he's finally met with Bree or someone whom resembles Bree. She kisses Daniel and reminds him that its okay to be upset, feel bad about ourselves and lose confidence. It's *human*. The two Rage Knights find themselves inside a warped version of Daniel's own mind where they face a gigantic Grand Nielson. This larger than life Nielson attacks them, forcing them to avoid the inevitable: The reality that lookism, human cruelty and superficiality will ultimately *cease* their existence by Sabotage. An *illusion* of a younger Daniel joins his older self and inspires confidence into Daniel. Before long Daniel retaliates against Nielson just as the former producer draws another *Comic Book Vellum Board* and cuts Nielson's attack. Stopping Nielson and destroying bits and pieces of the chassis attached to his suit. Revealing an electronic, staticky image of a formerly human Ayden.

Ayden begs them to spare his life, with Midlore readying to finish him off with the start of a usual *Pick On Time!* Phrases. Daniel insists that they don't kill nor injure Ayden, assuming with confidence that Ayden won't hurt anyone for awhile and probably not again. The confused Rage Knights become annoyed by his choice until Daniel ensures that even if he were to act again, there would be some *weird freaks* to stop them. Referring to them and their powers. Ayden escapes through a television screen that wheels away as the group watches the villainous former producer disappear into the parking lot of the vast kingdom and its shops.
