The Amalgam Ω-Verse was quiet — deceptively so.
Beneath the calm, fractures festered. The war was no longer a distant storm on the horizon; it was already here, creeping like a poison through every faction and alliance.
Ethan stood on the balcony of the Endless Council's fortress, overlooking the sprawling megacity built atop SCP containment structures and bleeding-edge cosmic architecture. The ambient glow of neon sigils and eldritch runes painted the sky in eerie hues.
Beside him, Jason Wayne's expression was grave. Sherlock paced inside, fingers steepled, eyes sharp.

The Traitor's Hand
Far from the council, in a hidden chamber deep within the labyrinthine SCP Overseer headquarters, a figure cloaked in shadows manipulated glowing orbs of dark energy.
Their identity was known only to a select few — and now, to Ethan's growing network of informants.
The traitor smiled coldly.
"Jason trusts too easily," they murmured, their voice a rasp like dry leaves. "And Ethan… he remains unaware of the true strings pulling him."
A display showed twisted visions: Outer God cults breaching dimensional rifts, corrupted SCP anomalies unleashing havoc, and, most troubling, a growing resistance within the Endless Council itself.
The traitor tapped a sigil carved with eldritch runes.
"Let chaos be the crucible that forges the new order."

The Endless Council Meeting
Back in the heart of the Ω-Verse, the Endless Council gathered.
Jason, adorned with the faint luminescence of Arceus's fragment and the Hope Lantern ring, presided over the chamber.
"This war is no longer between good and evil," Jason intoned. "It is a battle for existence itself."
Despair and Desire, Dream and Death, along with lesser-known Endless, filled the chamber, their forms shifting and shimmering with cosmic energy.
Sherlock stood beside Ethan, his Compassion Lantern ring glowing as he scanned the assembly.
A murmur rose — the traitor's subtle influence seeding distrust.
Jason raised a hand, silencing the crowd.
"We must unite or perish."

Ethan's Resolve Tested
Later, in a private chamber, Ethan adjusted the Carnitrix on his wrist, feeling the hum of Merlin's bloodline intertwining with his Force and magical powers.
Sherlock entered, eyes narrowing.
"Ethan, we've intercepted a message. The traitor plans to destabilize the SCP Overseers' containment grid."
Ethan frowned. "If they succeed, the breach zones will explode. Entire realities could collapse."
Jason joined them, voice cold as steel.
"We move tonight. We end this before it begins."

Breach Zone Assault
The trio, accompanied by a select force of Endless warriors and SCP agents, teleported to the Overseers' containment nexus.
The air crackled with tension, alarms wailing as corrupted SCP entities surged through failing barriers.
Ethan shifted into his Ultimate Carnitrix form, blending Galvan intellect, Mechamorph durability, and BrainStorm's psychic storms.
Lightning crackled around him as he conjured spells layered with Grindelwald's enhanced magic.
Sherlock unleashed Seraphimon's radiant light, purging shadowy cultists with Compassion-fueled strikes.
Jason's Hope Lantern ring bathed the battlefield in inspiring light, bolstering allies and severing the influence of Outer God corruption.

The Traitor Revealed
Amidst the chaos, a figure stepped forward — calm, regal, and unmistakably one of their own.
It was Delirium, twisted by corruption, her laughter sharp and cruel.
"You think yourselves safe behind your little alliances?" she sneered.
Ethan's eyes narrowed. "Delirium? You've betrayed us?"
Her form flickered, revealing a nightmarish visage beneath.
"The Endless fracture. I serve a new order — one born of chaos and power."
---
Battle of Minds and Magic
Delirium unleashed waves of maddening energy, warping reality around them.
Ethan countered with spells from the Arcanum Codex, weaving shields and counter-curses.
The Carnitrix pulsed, unlocking transformations on command.
Sherlock's Compassion aura clashed with Delirium's madness, a battle of wills threatening to unravel the battlefield itself.
Jason invoked Arceus's fragment, summoning celestial weapons of pure energy.
The clash shook the fabric of the Ω-Verse.
---
Turning the Tide
As Delirium advanced, Ethan called upon Merlin's bloodline fully — conjuring ancient incantations that warped time and space.
He summoned Guilmon and Mewtwo, their presence shifting the battle's momentum.
Guilmon roared, digging into Delirium's chaotic manifestations.
Mewtwo's psychic powers blasted through the madness, cleansing corrupted energies.
Jason and Sherlock struck with renewed vigor.
The traitor's influence began to wane under their combined assault.
---
Aftermath and Warning
With Delirium's retreat, the containment grid stabilized.
Jason addressed the survivors.
"This was only the beginning. The traitor remains at large. The Outer Gods grow restless."
Ethan's gaze hardened.
"We need to find them before the next move — and prepare for war on all fronts."
