Going All Out

**Going All Out** represented a positive side of the war, as the G/NEX's efforts have paid off against the megacorporation, garnering public support and, as a result, changing the tide for the first time in history. At last, hope has arrived, slowly... but steady, no obstacle can stop the heroes from breaking their momentum.

The vanguard BRIENNE-218 notably lead the charge against the megacorporation, creating another revolution owing to ASHE-159.

## History

### Planet United

Due to the aftermath of the events such as Rampancy and The COALESCENCE, the majority of the planet's remaining population has gained the resistance's support, and as a result, they have collectively united to start another revolution, which paralleled the epic events of A Call to Arms. To capitalise on the revolution, RUBICORE has deployed relief groups and has never stopped providing aid to people in need, while OMAR-CONSTRUCT has once again used its vast pool of resources to rebuild wrecked cities and villages as a result of the megacorporation's acts of war all over the planet.

### Defence of Obrinia

PROJECT has responded by attacking the city of Obrinia, hoping to exploit the freshly decolonized Panamoan Republic. As a result, RUBICORE reacted fast to the threat and pledged to drive PROJECT's forces out of the city; by pushing the fight to the city's outside wall, the military reinforced their defences and dispatched battalions on their planned tactics and varied defensive fighting positions. Because the megacorporation's soldiers lack camouflage and typically operate in urban battlefields, this can easily throw them off.

Because of the latter's superior tactics, VATROX suggests that PROJECT examine the military's tactics and fighting patterns in order to exploit them and turn the tide of war. SHADOW has been dispatched to turn the tide, dispatching soldiers in the dfps with ease. GRANDIOSE, has also been deployed, using his superior marksmanship skills to take out multiple soldiers; while CLYNE, a lesser-known cyborg of the megacorporation, has somehow escaped, defected and begins attacking the enemy forces, only to be slain with concentrated fire after remaining alive for 3 days.

*MEDARDA is notably absent, and was said to be discharged from duty due to "assault".*

As a result, RUBICORE decided to recruit the assistance of PSYLOCKE-832. The soldiers were initially sceptical, but as they discovered her true identity, they quickly trusted her. She sniped over thousands of PROJECT soldiers, attracting the attention of GRANDIOSE, who was hellbent on killing her after dying twice. She simply shrugs and chastises him for being eager to die again. GRANDIOSE knows she is too skilled for one warrior to handle, so he ordered a squad of Command Line soldiers to be dispatched to the outside forests surrounding the city.

Despite their attempts to breach the wall, the Command Line soldiers were no match for the RUBICORE forces; PSYLOCKE-832 soon fought them in melee and hand-to-hand combat after they breached the wall. She also launched specialised grenades at GRANDIOSE, not interested to face her rival. As a result, GRIMM comes and kills the troops surrounding her and starts throwing his swords at her before she can react. SCYLLA-028 arrives soon and saves her. She lets PSYLOCKE-832 to do her thing and defend the city, and leaving GRIMM to fight on her alone. The fight of both rivals was a stalemate but the operation ends in a victory after G/NEX rebels totally secured the city and repel all PROJECT soldiers.

### 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. Scylla 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.*

### Valenthian Redemption

ASHE-159 ordered a three-man team to deploy into Valenthia. The objective is to free the country from the megacorporation. With or without assistance. SCYLLA-028, BRIENNE-218 and FIONA-384 have been deployed as a result. They have unearthed a deep incident: after an unsuccessful attempt to contain a riot in a Valenthia prison, PROJECT unleashes the Manticore bioweapon to quell the uprising. The Manticore explosion, however, instead of killing the rioters, it effectively reanimated them as *zombies*. Three Command Line platoons are sent in to contain the undead forces, but only one survives, and the others are sent to an *ATLAS* research centre for further investigation. The research is conducted in secret, all happening without the employees' knowledge, at a clandestine section known as *Sublevel 13*. The trapped zombies escape their confinement and invade the facility one night.

When the team arrives, they are puzzled as to why the site is so silent. After learning of the not-so-noticeable zombie event, SCYLLA-028 insists on remaining inconspicuous; BRIENNE-218 and FIONA-384 are confident they'll make it out alive if the plan works. She complains about why a three-man squad was dispatched rather than the entire group, to which ASHE-159 responds over comms that the rest are dealing with various difficulties in the Aryaine Kingdom, and sending everyone may risk them into becoming zombies when irreversible mistakes arise. To guide the team, EQUINOX-612, much to everyone's surprise, gives them a schematics of the location and the facility, alongside possible threats that they can encounter. They came to a halt as they came to the derelict ATLAS research facility.

VATROX has been killed by BRIENNE-218, leaving his terror gone for good; Leaving him with no room for redemption. he used her ultimate ability once more to disperse the endless crowd of zombies around them and rapidly beheads him, although he is still aware by sending them a final message. SCYLLA-028 shrugs, but saves the file for later use the knight reminds him of their past rivalry, his evil nature, and his lifelong affiliation to the Devil. She is also curious to why would he serve in the megacorporation rather than maintain his loyalty to Lucifer, the devil himself. VATROX delivered his last line: "Hell in all forms."

### SHIRO-113: The Unforgiven Rebel

After collaborating with TRISTANNA-651 to rid Roji from PROJECT, SHIRO-113 has faced considerable criticism for inciting excessive brutality against the megacorporation. As a response of the accusations, he dismissed them and demonstrates to his detractors that violence is one of the primary attributes that everyone needs to stop the megacorporation. HAYABUSA-096 finds him someplace in Roji, viewing the mountains, now surrounded by gigantic skyscrapers. He reveals that the superior technology of the megacorporation is dooming his country, especially Chazys. As a result, the two have agreed to demolish the SUPREME headquarters at the end of the war.

However, news reports indicate that SHIRO-113 has done some immoral acts. They claim that he has killed innocent and defenceless people. Unfortunately, the resistance group has heard of the news. It is actually true, which forces him to leave from the resistance, not wanting their group's reputation to be destroyed by his heinous acts. He travels to Roji to address his guilt. He has faced so many mafia killers and even cyborg ninjas that are not linked with the megacorporation since his arrival.

He is astounded that a seemingly unknown mafia organisation can acquire technology comparable to the megacorporation. He quickly overcame his reservations and slaughtered all of them. Not to mention among all the infamous mafia figures he assassinated, one of which quickly admitted to being a PROJECT associate. The discovery angered him, knowing that even high-ranking criminals aren't on the same level as the evil corporation. Notably, he killed a young mafia figure. RUBICORE and G/NEX forces surrounded him as he was ready to execute him, requesting him to surrender due to being overboard. As a result, he surrenders and is captured by the rebels, much to TRISTANNA-651's chagrin. HAYABUSA-096 anticipated this day, when his unforgiving nature would be unleashed with no compassion. HAYABUSA-096 was not delighted to see the day when his harsh nature would be unleashed without mercy. As he is taken into custody, the two of them quickly confronted him and it is unknown how was he redeemed, or monitored afterwards.

### Siege of Daitoshi

As countless wars devastate the planet, the resistance sets its eyes on the foreboding city of Daitoshi. Their goal is to allow RUBICORE forces to breach the city's defences through the vast open grasslands beyond it, and if the strategy works, the G/NEX rebels will be able to enter the city, effectively turning it into a battlefield; ruining any of the megacorporation's property, but also saving innocent lives and destroying the corporation's headquarters in the city, which serves as their seat of power in the country Roji. Due to this, LILIAN-395 ordered to ready all operational mechas and tanks to expect the incoming threat.

As a result, RUBICORE forces have met heavy resistance upon invading. PROJECT has expected the threat, obviously prepared. To dominate the corporation's defences in the city, they have employed their aircraft and jets for aerial superiority. Notably PSYLOCKE-832 lead FIONA-384, SCYLLA-028 into battle, as ASHE-159 wanted to evaluate her skills. Sometime in, around, or prior to August 3016, for clear reason, PROJECT launched a full-scale defence of Daitoshi, knowing that the planet knows they held the city by a siege. The Panamoan Republic intervened in the conflict, sending an invasion force of RUBICORE into the heart of Daitoshi with the objective of securing the city from the Corporate PMCs and driving them out of the country.

Jameson Lockett, their leading sergeant David, Nolan Baker and fellow soldier Alan Vayne are in a drop pod observing a battlefield in Daitoshi during Operation Full-Out Strike. The pod is hit with heavy fire, and Vayne nearly falls out of the pod before Lockett closes the blast shield and saves him. Lockett, Baker, and Price regroup with their allies, who order them to reinforce a friendly demo team trying to destroy an enemy gunship up the street. Lockett, Baker, and Price tear the doors off of some nearby cars to use as makeshift riot shields and make their way to a waiting vehicle. They use the vehicle's EMP ability to destroy the drones and press forward.

David takes it upon himself to complete the mission and orders Lockett and Baker to recover the bomb and destroy the gunship. Lockett gets the bomb, makes his way to the gunship, and gives the bomb to Baker, who plants it. However, the access panel closes on Baker's arm, and when Lockett is unable to rescue him, He pushes his friend off of the gunship in order to save him. Lockett is knocked away by the blast, and as he attempts to recover a stray piece of shrapnel slices into his left arm. In the process, Lockett's arm, amputated by the shrapnel, falls off as he's being dragged away. However, the soldiers of RUBICORE have fought well and the support of the entire G/NEX and a team of theirs lead by PSYLOCKE-832 has been extremely successful on purging the siege to its end.

### Liberation

"Liberation", as everyone knows, is defined as the act of settling someone or something free from imprisonment, slavery, oppression or colonisation. As the definition suggests, ASHE-159 simplified the operation's name with that word, as she has a simple goal for her resistance and the allies: Liberate the nations of the planet. However, she has focused to liberate on her homeland, Avarshi. A frozen wasteland, once used to be ruled by powerful tribes, and one tribe that divided it, causing a division and creating a nation known as Nordival, a place where strength is valued, and war is their daily way of life. If liberating it was successful, the next step would be Losteria. TRISTANNA-651 has long seemed to liberate her home after being away from it due to being a rebel.

#### Liberation: Avarshi

Much to the entirety of the G/NEX resistance's surprise, ASHE-159 orders them to stay put. With this in mind, she concentrated her efforts on two nations that had suffered the most: Avarshi and Losteria. TRISTANNA-651 and her fellow Losterian comrades, particularly SHIRO-113 and HAYABUSA-096, were appointed to join her quest to rid their country of the corporation. ASHE-159, on the other hand, vows to liberate Avarshi, by herself. ASHE-159 contacted her own resistance group to do whatever they need to help the planet, even if it means sacrificing her own life.

When she returned to her native nation, she surveyed the ruins of Frostvile and all other important cities. She even spent her time to relocating the dead, notably those of her tribe's members. LILIAN-395 easily caught her in the act after a while. She commented coldly that returning to their motherland is meaningless due to the megacorporation has a headquarters in the country and she can be easily slain by any hidden soldiers in the place. ASHE-159 declared her intention, which is to free Avarshi on her own. The two adversaries have met again, but this time in PROJECT armour.

ASHE-159 is dissatisfied and launches a barrage of devastating kicks, catching LILIAN-395 off guard, and swiftly replies by assaulting her through the midsection, quickly winding her and allowing LILIAN-395 to speak about the latter's offer. She admits to being enslaved by PROJECT after her trusty boar was transformed into a machine and that they only saw her as an enforcer. She sympathised, but she would never forget her misdeeds. As a result, she seizes the opportunity to leave, stating that the fight was a tie. She detonated the explosive embedded on the headquarters right after LILIAN-395 departed, causing it to explode and kill all the living personnel inside. She took advantage of the surroundings via strategically placing traps aimed to disable any PROJECT machinery, including as mechas, prison cells, and cars. SHADOW, MEDARDA and GRIMM pursue her, but get outsmarted as the hidden traps quickly disable all the ordinance that the megacorporation has deployed.

As a result of her heroic act, the megacorporation's imprisoned Iceborn slaves and soon-to-be cyborgs have been freed. Following that, She quickly removed her mask to reveal her true identity to them. Everyone recognises her as the historical hero they imagined, and they have always revered her leadership. She is relieved to learn that a substantial majority of her tribe are still alive. They wasted little time helping each other and flinging snow at the devastated headquarters, while most of Iceborn populace seeks to reconstruct Avarshi. ASHE-159 removes her armour and begins to dress in her signature outfit, wanting to stay in the country even when she knows her resistance group is fighting PROJECT all over the planet.

#### Land of Prosperity: Losteria

TRISTANNA-651 brings SHIRO-113 and HAYABUSA-096 to Losteria, along with a slew of native rebels, after finding them from rubble, and rescuing them. Liberation, as she meant, is essential for her own nation. They lost no time in ridding the country of the megacorporation's control, seeing this as the day she had long awaited. When they arrived in the capital, Grunthel, they found a significant number of Command Line forces waiting for them, as a result, SHIRO-113 steps in front of them, and pulls out his sword.

They charged into battle with no warning. TRISTANNA-651's group is quickly destroyed due to a lack ranged weapons (Only a few have firearms, or bows); the swift arrival of armoured vehicles further makes matters worse. TRISTANNA-651 made them attack strategically and greatly demonstrated her skill by killing hundreds of PROJECT soldiers with her blades. However, a gigantic figure arrives, forcing the Command Line forces to back up as PROJECT TAGGART runs at them and smacks TRISTANNA-651 away, effectively killing her into a bloody pulp.

As a result, the rebels attempt to stop PROJECT TAGGART, with minimal or no efforts at all, as the Command Line forces simply watched TAGGART slaughter the "resistance" of TRISTANNA-651. After a long ensuing fight, all of the G/NEX members have joined the fight, as PSYLOCKE-832 and SCYLLA-028's collaboration on the country prior was actually beneficial, even if it seemed doubtful. They have now attempted to destroy TAGGART. They were unsuccessful despite their best efforts, but are fortunate enough not to be hit by his massive fists or the hammer.

However, EQUINOX-612 reverses time, effectively reviving her. This allowed them to fight back at TAGGART while he is rooted in place. Luckily, RUBICORE has sent an army to deal with Command Line forces in Losteria, driving the raging mecha into a retreat as he sustains massive damage and was later seen fleeing, before settling somewhere in Brimstone, Freya; Hoping for a rematch against her to kill her again, or OBELISK.

#### MEDARDA v ASHE

While ASHE-159 has been focused on leading her rescued people to rebuild the country, OLIVEIRI-709 has given PROJECT MEDARDA her own reality-tampering grenades, which allow the user to fight their target on equal terms through an impenetrable digital realm that can only be escaped when a victor is found. The cost is that the defeated opponent dies in the realm, and hence in reality. As a result, MEDARDA throws the grenades at her, intending to end ASHE-159 in a duel through all possible ways that she can fathom, such as cutting her throat, abdominal stab or disemboweling her guts, as she isn't a cyborg.

ASHE-159 immediately prepares her armour and weaponry for MEDARDA, as the latter hints that she will lose to her, assuming her opponent is unfamiliar with melee combat. MEDARDA also discovered that she was able to free Avarshi entirely on her own, and she mocks her for being so unselfish that her life is frequently jeopardised. She responds by claiming that MEDARDA was nothing more than a savage cutthroat of the Nordics and those words clearly provoked the fight.

ASHE-159 used her own ways against her, even stealing her own swords to combat her after utilising the trademark bow, which startled MEDARDA. Fortunately, there are three fights that must be completed in order to determine a winner. ASHE-159 comfortably triumphed despite losing the first round, annihilating MEDARDA in the third and final round. Not to mention, she was stabbed in the stomach on the first round, which explained her abdominal pains after leaving the realm, while OLIVEIRI-709 looked disappointedly at MEDARDA's corpse in the server.

Upon leaving the realm, she has tried her best to alleviate her abdominal pains with minimal effect. As a result, she asks for assistance of her own group, to which they quickly responded by giving her treatment on a medical bed, quickly compensating as they are unable to transport onto Avarshi on time. MEDARDA promptly sat down after losing the fight in the digital realm, accepting her fate and contacting PROJECT. She steadily disintegrated after delivering her message, her robotic body degrading, until she explodes into dust, leaving nothing but scrap metal and blood.

### Battle of Supremandy

Following the liberation of two nations, and subsequently the bulk of the planet, the RUBICORE military and G/NEX resistance have set their sights on Supremandy, seeking to destroy the PROJECT rule and cleanse the dictatorial nation. GRIMM specifically entrusted every PROJECT warrior with neutralising all potential dangers, as they had effectively predicted the impending invasion owing to MEDARDA. They did notice, however, that LILIAN-395 has become more docile than ever, most likely due to the knowledge that she is about to defect from the megacorporation.

The G/NEX deploys through a hover platform, but they were later ambushed, and quickly crashed as a result. SCYLLA-028 has been separated from the entire group, leaving her stranded and relying on her skills to survive. RUBICORE launches massive strategic bombing campaigns to effectively diminish the city's defences, and the entirety of Evalka as a whole. This allows on weeding out the presence of the megacorporation on the planet, while trying to avoid accidental deaths among innocent people caught in the crossfire, or the bombings.

GRIMM immediately finds her after that crash. As a result, she soon exposes him as a sadistic madman of the corporation, naming all of the defectors he has killed on orders or for personal benefit. As a result, GRIMM immediately tackles her, cracking her visor open and leaving her stunned, crouching in the ground, anticipating her opponent. He says that he had always suspected her of being a turncoat, even going so far as to remind her of her "patrols" in *A Call to Arms*. SCYLLA-028 is perplexed, as he has managed to see through her deception and infiltration. He even insults for attempting to surpass PSYLOCKE-832, the assassin from the COALESCENCE that has managed to exploit every aspect of PROJECT. She tries to shrug, but she cried while raising her scythe against him.

A series of vicious clashes ensues. The rivals didn't hold back against each other, unleashing their whole force on each other. The two are clearly evenly matched, with the sole difference being that GRIMM is stronger but SCYLLA-028 is faster. He swiftly changes the tide by wounding her left arm, giving him an advantage in the fight, but she ultimately puts an end to his terror by unleashing her ultimate ability, the **SCYTHE EXECUTION**, dashing to him four times, resulting in his brutal death. She turns to the rebel group that, after hours of searching, located her. She gives them a smirk.

Following that, the RUBICORE soldiers led the G/NEX rebels and followers into the conflict. Taking advantage of the frigid conditions, they have quickly penetrated through the city due to a lack of walls and are able to efficiently take out the battalion and vehicles stationed all around the city to defend it. After months of warfare, the nation of Evalka was finally free of the megacorporation's control, with Supremandy and the rest of the country placed under heavy RUBICORE monitoring, allowing all innocent people to be healed, watched, and provided sanctuary.

Due to the heroic acts of good against the megacorporation, Evalka has been liberated, and the country has slowly started to regrow their population, seeking to create a new nation without the rule of any megacorporation, or the infamous Evalka dynasty.

### THE EXPOSURE

As a result, victories in operations such as the *Defence of Obrinia*, *Liberation*, and the *Battle of Supremandy* represent a significant loss for the megacorporation. Even SHADOW is having difficulty conducting counter-espionage operations against PROJECT's all known opponents, MEDARDA has been killed, GRANDIOSE and INTERCEPTOR-409 are carrying the Command Line troops by their skill, and OLIVEIRI-709 is carrying the Command Line forces by their skill, after causing massive disturbances somewhere. She is the Ghost, who has vanished from reality and entered a computer realm known as the Server.

Notably, PSYLOCKE-832 collected all the intel that the COALESCENCE and G/NEX has amassed against PROJECT, allowing her to distribute the images and files online, particularly through a certain news outlets, as she appears with Lauren and Darren, sponsoring the security firm while reporting all the secrets, crimes of the evil megacorporation. Before they could do that, Muldoon Lundgren ordered a livestream for SHADOW to sent a message. The livestream message was quite simple: PROJECT will now destroy ALL their opponents. NO matter how long and the cost. To make it worse, SHADOW dramatically points his blades to a giant mecha, to which all PROJECT members (Most notably soldiers) in the stream shouted "ANNIHILATOR"! in unison.

## Aftermath

This particular theatre of the global conflict has been a disastrous experience for the megacorporation, as the public has gradually become aware of their destructive ambitions and *façade*. As a result, PROJECT has proclaimed all-out war in all directions, most likely anxious to exterminate all of its adversaries, particularly the resistance. The entire Nexonia Prime, on the other hand, has now been able to embrace unity, as they have effectively united with the G/NEX resistance to permanently destroy the megacorporation. COALESCENCE also gained public image and trust, as their security services have allowed citizens to explore the planet without getting shot or apprehended by PROJECT forces instantly.

OMAR-CONSTRUCT notably employed every skilled construction worker due to the fact they have been overworked.

However, PROJECT ANNIHILATOR's debut on the media has caused massive tensions and endlessly raised doubts if the war against the megacorporation will succeed. Due to the fact that some have been already learned of his own world, a simulated environment known as the Digital Realm, and his physical presence alone echoes massive strength and overwhelming power.

## Trivia

### General

* This chapter is where most of the rivalries have emerged yet again.
* BRIENNE-218 apparently serves as the central figure.
* SHIRO-113 was dismayed on the fact that he hasn't done anything much for the resistance, so he intends to operate in solo operations to maximise his own skills.
* Reports confirm that Muldoon Lundgren was blackmailed by Michael Nexima after requesting assistance from his own corporation, and him. He failed, and due to this he has a breakdown.
* Some say Muldoon raped JINX-362, but the claim is disputable.
* It has been referenced, like the previous and subsequent events during the new era at *Dawn of Era: An Uprising*.

### Developmental Notes

* This event was the most "positive" in the entirety of the war.
* This chapter has a slightly warmer tone compared to the rest of the *PROJECT-G/NEX Chronicles*.
