"You can't defeat what you refuse to face."
– Rin
Scene 1: The Last Jump
Aboard the Phantom Atlas
The war room pulses with low red lights.
Ayla, suited again, spins her morpher and catches it.
"One last jump into a collapsing timeline. What could go wrong?"
Thorne grunts, checking his axe's charge.
Mira configures a tether beacon.
"We'll only have nine minutes before this reality implodes. The core is unstable. If we're still inside when it collapses…"
"We become shadows," Rin finishes quietly.
Kael stands silently at the head of the table, red visor gleaming.
He lifts his morpher, eyes hardened.
"We go in. We split. Pair off. Find the Nulls. End them."
Zara's voice echoes.
"Remember: this mission is a point of convergence. Every echo, every version of you — it all leads here."
The room stills.
"This is where it breaks. Or becomes whole."
The portal opens.
White lightning fractures through the ship, swirling around the gate. Static hums. Time bends.
They leap through.
Scene 2: Delta-9 — A Dead City
The Fracture Team lands in the heart of a silent city.
Smoke. Ash. Crumbled buildings.
The sky hangs heavy, as if the sun is dying.
And waiting for them — standing like statues in the dust — are the Nulls.
N-Kael, arms crossed, eyes glowing deep red.
Noxis, hovering inches above the ground, face unreadable.
Dreadthorn, dragging his brutal, serrated blade.
Null Mira, calmly adjusting her gauntlet.
Echo, crouching, giggling and whispering to the broken concrete.
And behind them… Null Omega.
"You came," Omega murmurs. "Fitting. This is where you'll bury yourselves."
Kael steps forward.
"No. This is where we end you."
Omega gestures with one hand — and the Nulls charge.
Scene 3: Kael vs N-Kael — Rage and Reflection
The city shakes.
Kael slams into N-Kael, both morphing mid-air in red bursts. Fists clash. Fire sparks.
N-Kael: "You don't get to wear red anymore. You let them die."
Kael: "So did you."
Their blades lock.
N-Kael's is jagged, corrupted. Kael's glows clean.
"You broke," Kael growls, "but I didn't become a monster."
N-Kael screams, throwing Kael through a building.
"I became what the universe needed. Strength without guilt."
Kael rises from rubble.
"You became fear."
They clash again — but Kael begins to overpower him.
"You're just me… without heart."
Kael slams his morpher into N-Kael's chest. Light explodes.
Scene 4: Rin vs Noxis — Void and Identity
Elsewhere, on a rooftop, Rin and Noxis circle.
Neither speaks.
A white wind howls.
Then they move—perfectly matched.
Light against void. Blade against silence.
Noxis: "You still think you're real?"
Rin: "I know I am."
Noxis warps behind him, whispers coldly.
"You were made by the Grid as a failsafe. A guardian without a past. You're not even born."
Rin pauses.
"Maybe."
His morpher glows. He draws power from a hidden shard Zara gave him.
"But I chose who I became. That makes me more real than you'll ever be."
With a final strike, light bursts — Noxis fades, snarling.
Scene 5: Ayla vs Echo — Laughter and Madness
Ayla and Echo battle across floating debris over the ruined plaza.
Echo flips through Ayla's own old jokes.
"Knock knock—"
"Shut up," Ayla snaps, firing dual pistols.
Echo warps and mocks.
"You're just the clown. The extra. No one cries when you die."
"Maybe."
Ayla smirks.
"But I'm our clown."
She throws a charge disc — it explodes, and Echo stumbles.
"I don't need to be the strongest. Just the most annoying."
She slams Echo into a glitching power core — it surges, then explodes.
Scene 6: Thorne vs Dreadthorn — Redemption and Rot
They don't speak.
They roar.
Axe against axe. Sparks fly.
Each blow echoes with betrayal.
Dreadthorn snarls.
"You ran from power."
"I ran from slavery," Thorne spits. "I earned this suit."
Dreadthorn's chest cracks. Corruption leaks.
"You'll never be free. You're still us."
"Then I'll fight me forever if I have to."
With a brutal scream, Thorne brings the axe down — and Dreadthorn disintegrates in dark mist.
Scene 7: Mira vs Null Mira — Logic and Loss
In a shattered lab, Mira meets herself.
Null Mira coldly calculates.
"You stopped evolving. Compassion rotted you."
"No. It saved me."
They duel with tech and intelligence. Trap for trap. Hack for hack.
Then Null Mira steps into her own loop trap.
"You predicted that?" she hisses.
"I know how I think."
"I would've done the same thing."
"Exactly."
Mira activates the loop. Null Mira vanishes in a spiral of blue code.
Scene 8: Omega Falls — The Core Shatters
With the Nulls defeated, Omega unleashes everything.
The sky splits.
Rifts burst open.
A storm of erased Ranger morphs rains down — corrupted forms from destroyed worlds.
The team fights desperately. Together.
Rin and Kael slam into Omega from above.
Mira deploys a phase bomb.
Thorne absorbs a hit meant for Ayla.
Ayla throws the Grid-Stabilizer core.
"NOW!"
Kael catches it, slams it into Omega's chest.
"This is for my team. And every team you erased."
Omega screams, the void collapsing.
He begins to flicker.
"You think this ends with me…?"
"No," Kael whispers.
"It ends with us."
Omega explodes into light.
Scene 9: Aftermath — A Price Paid
The timeline stabilizes.
The Grid pulses faintly.
Zara appears, quieter than ever.
"You've done it."
But the Atlas is silent.
Thorne is badly injured.
Ayla is out cold again.
And Kael… limps to a quiet spot.
Rin follows him.
"You okay?"
Kael turns.
"We won. But that wasn't the final fight, was it?"
Rin shakes his head.
"No. There's something worse beyond the veil."
Kael tightens his fist.
"Then we keep going."
