Volume 4: Chapter 12

  Century Corps Outpost, Utah

  The group that descended into the jaws of Department X has rejoined Sahu and Eoontaq back at the base and are discussing plans over hologram with The Lemurian Group and The Grandmaster

  Elghene (Over Hologram): So if we get our hands on the fifth portal battery we can open the portal and destroy The Adamite Key?

  Darsah: That appears to be the play

  Elghene (Over Hologram): Alright

  Gladian (Over Hologram): I will be on my way to the Portal Site with the Septarian Guard.

  Centus: The Septarians huh

  Gladian (Over Hologram): The Septarians are only the most elite units on the Guild's payroll, they should be enough to help secure the portal site

  Woelyn (Over Hologram): So where is Lark2n heading now?

  Hadane: He is one hour out from Guadalajara, Mexico

  Gladian (Over Hologram): Well than arrive in the city and stop his assault.

  Larkin: We will finally put an end to this

  Gladian (Over Hologram): Good luck

  The Holograms disconnect

  Iehn: So he's not far from the next milestone?

  Centus: Correct

  Eoontaq: So we have to prepare defenses there

  Hadane: So be it

  Larkin: We can finally put this behind us

  Sahu: Facing that monster head on won't be easy but we can do it

  The group teleports to Guadlajara to prepare to defeat Lark2n

  Coral Chamber, Lemurian Belt

  Kiqi and Hyuken are with a Former Sheyane Cultist recon squad outside The Chamber

  Kiqi: So, what will happen after the portal door is opened

  Hyuken: We follow Elghene's plan to the very end

  Kiqi: It's risky

  Hyuken: If Elghene's right, it's a neccesary risk

  Stillness takes over for a brief momment but then a cannon shot fires near them

  Kiqi: Attackers?

  ???: That's right

  A fleet of Pionin's Truth ships come into view

  PT Commander: HELLO MURDERS OF AOENEN, PREPARE FOR JUDGEMENT!

  Kiqi: So they are our foes

  The Century Corps minus one leave the Chamber to see their attackers sail towards the chamber

  Thechr: Well, looks like we have unfinished business coming up from the rafters

  Elghene: So we're all here

  Kiqi: No..

  Woelyn: Neve said she's not going to fight against Pionin's Truth

  Iaray: I can't imagine fighting against people who want to avenge her deceased boyfriend

  Kelpie: We need to do this without her either way

  Thechr: So, we must

  PT Commander: SO YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH, VERY WELL

  Defend The Coral Chamber with help from The Cult of Sheyane

  When the player has defended The Chamber for 1 minute

  PT Commander: So you're actually somewhat competent

  Kiqi: It's a bigger surprise on your end

  Resume

  When the player has defended The Chamber for 2 minutes

  Iaray: So I wonder why the PT wants revenge so bad

  Woelyn: No one needs a reason for revenge

  Iaray: A reason for revenge?

  Woelyn: Why do people kill? Hate? Love? Maybe they desire power? Maybe they want to defend something or someone. Maybe they have no choice? Maybe they take pride in the kill? Maybe they desire fear in others? Whatever the reason, the ends never justify the means, conflict is inherently hollow.

  Demeui: I disagree

  Woelyn: Why?

  Demeui: The heart of a warrior, what compels me to fight, feels my life with light

  Woelyn: How interesting, you never change

  Resume

  When the player has defended The Chamber for 4 minutes

  Iaray: Neve still hasn't joined us?

  Kiqi: She won't be, these are her people, it's a conflict of interest

  PT Commander: Neve…

  Resume

  After defending the Chamber for 5 minutes, The Pionin's Truth begin waving flags of surrender

  Woelyn: Followers of Sheyane, round up the PT and hold them captive until further notice

  Sheyane Cultists: YES MAM

  Neve finally emerges from the Coral Chamber to see members of the PT

  Neve: It's over…
