**Orphans of Infamy vs. Ray Mygerion** was a major battle that took place in the Void, during the Siege of Roethsburg at the climax of the Alliance-Iron Talon War. It is the final battle to take place during the Alliance-Iron Talon War story arc, and is fought between the **Orphans of Infamy** and **Ray Mygerion**.

## Synopsis

### Entering the Government Building

> *"**YOU'RE JUST LIKE HIM... HIS GREATEST CREATION.**"*
>
>

After making their final preparations, the Orphans breach the Alliance Government Building, the door subsequently locking behind them and preventing them from turning back. The group reflect on the bloody path they were forced to carve in order to reach the point they were at, and Mugetsu Shinsei and Zira Gale vow to kill Ray.

Not long afterwards, an elevator on the left side of the building opens, with the words "COME GET ME" written in red on the elevator walls. The team enter the elevator, with Lucille Gremory seemingly taking a leadership role. In their descent in the elevator, they are contacted by the Void, who comments that the group are "In over their heads" about defeating Ray, to which Mugetsu retorts with not caring what it has to say, stating that they will defeat Ray regardless, with Zira and Mist Vaultfreak agreeing with his sentiment. Lucille accuses the Void of taunting the group, to which the Void admits that it is scared of Ray and what he is doing. Lucille affirms that they will fight Ray, regardless of whether the Void taunts them or not. The Void stops talking to the group after it compares them to "His greatest creation". It is currently unknown as to who the Void was referring to when it said this, though it is likely referring to Deus when it said "His".

### Encounter with Gary Mygerion

> *"Fine, then. I can't even fucking **die** now, can I?" ~ K.S. Ghaston after being convinced to spare Gary Mygerion.*
>
>

After the team descends to the final level, they are met with a long, narrow hallway. At the end of it, standing beaten and bloody, presumably from an unseen fight with Dragon and/or K.S. Ghaston, was Gary Mygerion. Enraged, Mugetsu snaps at Gary and tells him to move, but is reminded by Lucille about Maxwell Gremory's words of holding no vendettas.

Gary attempts to raise his sword, Bloodedge, but fails and collapses to his knees, and begins to laugh and cry, realizing that he was used as a puppet for Ray's plan this entire time.

Lucille offers to let Gary live, but K.S. ignores Lucille's words, pushing past her and Mugetsu and pointing his revolver at Bloodedge, which contains the life essence of Gary's wife. Gary begs and pleads that Kid does not destroy his sword, as it's the only thing he has left. Kid ignores Gary and goes to shoot the sword, when suddenly Lucille steps out in front of it and Mugetsu shoves his revolver down. Kid snaps, saying that Gary is responsible for his torture. Lucille says that all Kid would be doing is adding another tortured soul to this world, and another soul to Ray's collection. Zira says that doing such a thing would be dishonorable, however Mist agrees with Kid, stating that Gary deserves this after all he's done to contribute to Ray's plan. After a heated argument, Kid reluctantly agrees to leave Gary's sword unharmed.

Lucille picks Gary up and leaves him in the elevator, telling him that she's been battered recently too, and that he shouldn't let it end him. As the group walks towards the vault door at the end of the hallway, Mist looks back to Gary, and states that he expected better from his rolemodel, before joining the rest of the group.

### The Fight

> *"Show me what you've got, kids. Come on, now, don't disappoint me!" ~ Ray Mygerion taunting the Orphans before the fateful battle.*
>
>

After their encounter with Gary, the team arrives at the door that leads to Ray's gateway. The team prepare, and look back on all the memories they had and shared, all the events that lead up to this moment. Kid breaks the door down, and the group prepare to fight Ray Mygerion. Ray is revealed to be standing in front of his gateway that he had opened up to the Void. Mugetsu affirms that he and the team will defeat Ray, only to suddenly be shoved out of the way by K.S., who is hit in the eye by the Lance of Adam. Ray forcefully tears the Lance out of Kid's eye, and states that he was the one who killed Alistar Pain.

Ray states that his Gateway is active before stepping into it, the group rushing in a moment after.

## Trivia

* This is the only time a battle has ever taken place directly within the Void in Dominance history.
* According to Kong, the area in which the Orphans fought and killed Ray is the only area within the Void that is still stable, as proven when he took Mugetsu Shinsei there to escape a fight.
* This battle is generally considered to be the second longest battle so far in Dominance: TNG, spanning roughly 3-4 hours. The longest battle was the one between the Orphans and Lance Mygerion, which took around 6-7 hours to complete.
