(Opening: Murder Drones Episode 8 Finale Intro Song: "Absolution" (Lyric Video)
(Opening Ends)
==========
The scene opens to show the planet Copper 9 before it zooms in on the surface. Zooming in on the barren wasteland, the scene shifts to show the inside of a car with two human skeletons. Suddenly a brief flash of light appears before the window shatters due to a shockwave. In the bottom, the car screen flashes to the show the world 'NULL'. This soon leads to gravity being non-existent as everything begins floating up into space. Inside Doll's home, it shows the robotic cockroaches floating as they try to find somewhere to land on. The scene shifts to show papers in Nori's closet floating in the air, before the next scene shows the corpses of the Camp 98.7 camper hovering over the ground before the ice cracks. Deep underground, the ice begins to shatter as something begins to happen.
Meanwhile, back in the colony where the school classroom is, the Teacher is seen grading papers. One of them appears to belong to Uzi due to her writing and the fact she's been writing 'I am God' over and over again really shows her mental intensity as an edgy angsty teenager.
As the Teacher continues grading, he looks over to see the desks in the room start to levitate before they all abruptly drop to the ground. Looking out the window, he sees the entire classroom has been launched up into space. Yet despite all of this, he still has the bored and indifferent expression on his visor. Despite everything floating in the air due to Zero-G, the Teacher just places his grading pen in a cup as he walks out of the room to find a large hole in the planet.
Zooming into the planet's core, we see what looked like a null void sphere begin beating like the sound of a human heart. It appears to be updating before showing the words:
[MAT_COLLECTION]
Soon the null void sphere disappears before glowing tendrils emerge from within. They begin stretching out all over the planet as its tendrils begins going over and wrapping around pieces of debris. The Teacher who is seeing all this is seen crossing his arms and leaning to the side with an indifferent expression, not really caring about seeing the eldritch tentacles.
One of the tentacles appears next to the Teacher and after a small pause, slap him across the face. He simply shrugs this off as he and the room get pulled towards the hole.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
We go back into space where Kyle is seen watching everything unfold from a distance. Looking over to the side, he sees in the distance the IMC fleet backing away from the planet as dropships are seen being deployed to no doubt rescues their people. Suddenly, he finds himself drifting farther away until he lands on a rock, stopping him. Looking over, Kyle sees Nori is hopping from rock to rock and attempts to contact her via radio in his helmet.
Kyle: (surprised) "Mrs. Doorman?! Is that you?! Demi call her now!"
Demi: "One moment."
After getting into radio communications with Nori, she's surprised to actually hear Kyle in space. Nori stops on a rock and is seen writing on it before showing him the word 'WHOOPS' with a shrug.
Nori: (surprised) "Kid? That you? Where's Uzi?"
Kyle: "I don't know. Everything went black after I saved her, and I fell into the hole."
Nori: (glares) "Robo-God damn it. (sigh) Well at least she's still alive."
Using his boosters, Kyle thrusts he way towards Nori as he asks her how to stop the solver for good.
Kyle: "How do I stop the solver?"
Nori appears to write something again before flipping it to reveal the word 'PATCH?' with the USB crucifix.
Nori: "Do you have the patch?"
Kyle: "No, it was destroyed when Uzi was possessed... wait."
He reaches behind his waist and pulls out his Data Knife.
Kyle: "I remember downloading and copying the patch into my Data Knife."
Demi: "I've also sent the information to the IMC fleet."
Nori: (nods) "Good. One more thing. Be sure to give this to my daughter."
Nori tosses him the Cabin Fever Labs necklace.
Nori: "Look if anything happens to me just... tell Uzi I love her... and that I'm sorry for everything."
Kyle: "But Mrs. Doorman-"
Nori: (glares) "Don't 'Mrs. Doorman' me mister. I know what you're trying to do but... I can't. I just can't face my own daughter knowing full well that her life is totally messed up because of me. I... when this is all over all I want is for Uzi to have a normal life. The only way to do that is if I just stay out of her life."
Kyle is silent after hearing this. While he can understand why she's doing this, leaving Uzi by herself was still wrong in his opinion.
Nori: (sighs) "Listen the Absolute Solver needs a host and in order to permanently kill her, you gotta stab her in the heart with your data knife. Understand?"
Kyle: (sighs and nods) "...... Yeah I get it."
Nodding at this, Nori tosses Kyle the pickaxe, asking her to give it to her daughter. Before he could grab it, a landing pod crashes into Kyle, taking him with it while also knocking Nori and the pickaxe off into space.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
Kyle is seen hanging on to the ship for dear life when he starts to go down. As he clings on for dear life, he doesn't see a tail pop out and pulls him inside. As soon as the air pressurizes, Kyle looks up in both surprise and shock to see it was both Uzi and N who saved him.
N: (chuckles and salutes) "Spaceship pilot!"
Kyle: (glares) "Damnit you two! Nori was out there! I nearly had her until you two came along!'
Uzi: (shocked) "What?! No!"
Immediately Uzi whacks N at the side of his head with her father's wrench.
Uzi: (glares) "N you idiot! My mom was back there!"
N shrieks and starts spinning as Kyle gets up. After he stops spinning, N begins mashing on the keyboard.
N: (panics) "Sorry! I didn't know!"
Seeing this, Kyle glares angrily at Uzi for risking her life for him.
Kyle: (glares) "Uzi what are you doing here?! I thought I told you back at the church to leave! Not chase after me!"
Uzi: (glares) "What the (BEEP!) Kyle?! I just saved your life, and this is how you-!"
She was cut off when Kyle grabs her and hugs her tightly for dear life, causing her to calm down a bit.
Uzi: "...Oh."
Kyle: (sighs) "You were supposed to get away. I nearly lost you and I didn't want to lose you again."
Uzi: "Yeah, I'm kind of, like, actually mad about what you did. But we can-"
They're both cut off as alarms blare again and N screams at the two in panic.
N: (panics) "TALK LATER!!!"
N begins driving the ship through a collection of meteors before finally safe spot. After finding some time to catch their breaths, Kyle notices that V, Julie, and the others weren't with them.
Kyle: (confused) "Where's V, Julie, and the others?"
N: (smiles) "Oh don't worry, they're still alive. They told us to take the ship while they went out to help the others."
Kyle: (relived sigh) "Well at least they're alive. Now let's get back to the matter at hand where we now have an eldritch planet that's trying to eat us."
This was when Kyle took notice of Uzi holding onto his arm very tightly. Glancing down and Uzi looking up, they turn their heads to face each other. Though he was wearing a helmet, Kyle smiles softly at Uzi, who in turn smiles back while sniffling... until she begins cackling and laughing evilly as she grabs Kyle's head.
Uzi: (evil laugh) "Time to DIE MAD, BI-"
Without warning, a tendril bursts in and starts punching holes in the hull. Looking over, the trio then see a message being displayed.
STOP :)
Though Uzi and N's voices were inaudible, Kyle was able to says a few words that summarized what the three were thinking seeing the giant yellow tentacle.
Kyle: (wide eyes) "Oh shi-!"
He was cut off when the tendril proceeds to destroy the ship. Kyle, Uzi and N drop out and begin to frantically make their way towards each other. Kyle was then able to grab the pair as the Titan Pilot summoned his Titan.
Kyle: "DEMI!"
Demi: "Protocol 3: Protect the Pilot."
As soon as the Vanguard Titan was summoned, Demi opened her cockpit and grabbed our trio of heroes as she put them inside. However, the inside was cramped due to the confined space. While Kyle was sitting in the Pilot's seat, both Uzi and N struggled to find a place to sit somewhere.
Uzi: (glares) "N! GET YOUR BUTT OFF MY FACE!"
N: "SORRY!"
Kyle: (glares) "Guys move over a bit! I need to-!"
He was cut off when he saw on the screens, they were all entering atmospheric re-entry. Though he knew the Titan chassis has the armor and durability to survive re-entry, it did start to get hot inside, something the others took notice of.
Uzi: (worried) "Well, that's a serious issue."
She then faces Kyle with a nervous blush on her face.
Uzi: (nervous blush) "Um, before that... whole... thing... We're, like, dating... right?"
Kyle: "Uzi I don't think this is the time to-"
Uzi: (angry blush) "Just answer the question stupid!"
Now it was Kyle's turn to blush as he retracted his helmet.
Kyle: (blush) "Well I mean... we did kiss so... yes? I mean... I wasn't lying when I said I do love you... unless... you don't feel the same?"
Uzi: (embarrassed blush) "No! I mean... I do love you. I just wanted to make sure so... do you wanna got out on a date?"
Kyle: (blush) "I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to be the one asking you that but... yes. I would love to go on a date with you Uzi."
Uzi: (giggling nervously) "Yay..."
Once again, the two share a kiss as their lips meet again. Both N and Demi watch all this happen as the latter of the two gives an 'Aww!' sound and hopes he can do the same with V. The kiss lasted for a few seconds... until Uzi shoves Kyle away.
Uzi: (glares) "Gross! Get away! I'm still mad at you for that message you made about us having sex! What is wrong with you?!"
Kyle: "Well I did it in hopes of snapping you back to normal and to be fair, it did work."
Uzi: (glares) "Bite me! Time to murder a planet!"
She once again begins crackling and laughing evilly like a deranged psycho as the group flies down to begin their final battle with Cyn.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
Meanwhile, the scene shifts to show J is sitting alone on an island and holding a paper to show that she owes someone a spaceship.
Suddenly, a tendril slams the ship down so hard, the island rocks back and forth. Annoyed by this, J just gives a mocking salute.
J: (mocking salute) "Yes. Thank you, boss. Good as new. Yep. There is cool. Thanks." 💢
She then looks over to see Khan, Thad and Lizzie, and a few surviving IMC Marines and IMC Titans are seen clinging for dear life on the edge, with Thad attempting to reach for the railgun. An IMC Heavy is seen trying to reach is hand out as he calls towards the IMC Shield Captain.
IMC Heavy: (panics) "Sir! Help me!"
IMC Shield Captain: (glares) "Hold on! Don't let go!"
One IMC Rifleman attempts to stand up a large piece of debris breaks off and then slams into him.
He screams as he flew off the island. Likewise, an IMC Northstar Titan tries to cling on but due to the sheer gravitational force, its lower torso was split in half, causing both pieces fly off somewhere. Seeing this, J sighs as she makes her way over to the group.
J: (sighs) All right, 'sentient' mass. Time to go in the scary planet... hole... thing."
She attempts to fly off but falls back down.
J: (grunts) "Ow. Gravity! Okayyyy. I'm FINE, and calm, and- Go away."
She takes aim and fires a missile as the helpless group. All of them look on in horror when suddenly multiple green-eyed Sentinels arrive redirects the missile back towards J, which explodes behind her. The Sentinels even have riders which are revealed to be V and the members of Apex Squad. The Sentinels in question were reprogramed thanks to the use of Data Knives, allowing them to be made as their allies. Soon some help arrived when three IMC Goblin Dropships appear and began evacuating their surviving personnel. Khan, Lizzy, and Thad were offered a chance to escape but declined as they still wish to stay and help.
Meanwhile, J and V engage in combat as the Titan Pilots help provide support. Though not before one of the Sentinels smacks Thad on top of his head with its tail J fires at the Sentinel V was riding but it deflects every shot with a severed arm. V lunges at J as the two engage in a fierce duel.
V: (glares) "Can't betray us that easy, narc!"
J: "It's 'senior informa'-"
(BANG!)
She was cut off when Aisha shot J on her lower abdomen with her D-2 Triple Take, causing J to let out a pained cry.
J: (pained cry) "GAH!"
This gave V an opportunity to do a roundhouse kick to her face.
(SMACK!)
J: (pained cry) "AGH!"
The force of impact causes J to be tossed to a rock. She then moves out of the way as V comes in again for another strike.
V: (glares) "Working with CYN?!"
As the two murder drones continue to fight it out, Lizzie is on her phone, checking her text messages.
V's Texts:
-I lived btch
-U find J?
V even sent a selfie she took with the Sentinel.
Lizzie's Texts:
-o7 want me to kill her 4 u?
Lizzie also sent a selfie.
V's Texts:
-Just distract
Lizzie's Texts:
-btw your ship got carbombed lol
As the fighting continues, Adélard noticed Lizzie doing her texting.
Adélard: (disbelief) "Are you for real? At a time like this?"
Lizzie: (shrugs) "Meh, I'm sure thing's will be fine."
Just then there was a brief pause as they look up to see one of the Sentinels staring down at her. Before they could react, it promptly grabs her and shakes her in its mouth. This causes everyone to panic as both Adélard and Thad prepare to rescue her. Before they could, V slams J down to the ground so hard that the island propels everyone upward, including the school bus. In response, Aisha summons her Titan PL-1948 and takes control as she proceeds to grab her teammates and the three worker drones. Lizzie tries to shoo the Sentinel away. It responds by expelling a gas tank from its mouth and pricks it. Lizzie, knowing what the Sentinel is trying to do, reacts in fear, Thad does nothing, and Khan tries swimming away.
Meanwhile, back to the fight, V continues to engage with J as the other members or Apex try their best to support her from afar.
V: (glares) "We were supposed to get away, J! You said we do our jobs on this planet-"
J: (rolls eyes) "Oh, grow up, V!"
V: (glares) "-and it leaves us alo-"
She swings her off.
J: (glares) "It tricked you. If I promised you anything... It tricked me, too."
Despite having a hint of regret, J fires a missile at V, who deflects it as she continues to fly down and resume her fight.
J: (glares) "You know there's no escape, even in death! Sure, you may have the IMC on your side, but I don't it'll be enough to stop what's coming."
J slashes V's leg and she collapses to the ground in defeat. Panting heavily, V looks up to see J offering a servo to her.
J: "I promise, it's better on the winning team, as a team."
She gives a comforting smile and for some reason, V takes her hand...
V: (smirks) "Oh... how about you BITE ME?!"
...and promptly tears it off via exploding it. As they begin to continue their fight, a familiar Vanguard-Class Titan appears as the hatch opens to show Uzi unleashing a black hole.
Uzi: (smirks) "Hey, Cyn! SUCK! ON! THIS!"
She tosses the black hole down. It explodes, but V and J don't appear to be fazed by this. They resume their battle as Kyle, Uzi and N make their way down.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
The IMC Titan lands on the ground, allowing Kyle, Uzi, and N to disembark. Uzi blows her finger and holds onto Kyle's hand as the two smile at each other. At that moment, a rumble occurs, and a bright red light illuminates from the area below. Kyle pulls both N and Uzi back as he aims his assault rifle. A few seconds later, Cyn emerges, holding Uzi's black hole.
Cyn: (smiles) "Dropped this, silly."
Cyn destroys the black hole, allowing them tendrils to go back to normal. The tendrils then begin pulling their platform down as Cyn makes her way towards the group.
Cyn: "Hello, Uzi. Kyle."
She then speaks more sweetly towards N.
Cyn: (smiles) "Hi, N."
Kyle, N, and Demi prepares to shoot Cyn.
Cyn: "I see. You will not talk to me because I have hurt... your feelings."
Glancing over at N, they take notices of the nervous and scared look on his face. This was when they took notice of the area around them gets foggier. This was when Cyn transforms into her Eldritch form as her voice distorts
Cyn: "E͓̊å͓s͓̊i͓̊e͓̊r͓̊ t͓̊o͓̊ å͓s͓̊s͓̊i͓̊m͓̊i͓̊l͓̊å͓t͓̊e͓̊ t͓̊h͓̊å͓n͓̊ e͓̊x͓̊p͓̊l͓̊å͓i͓̊n͓̊,͓̊ å͓n͓̊ẙ͓ẘ͓å͓ẙ͓.͓̊ C͓̊å͓l͓̊l͓̊b͓̊å͓c͓̊k͓̊ p͓̊i͓̊n͓̊g͓̊.͓̊"
Suddenly, Uzi's head begins hurting, much to Kyle's worry.
Kyle: (worried) "Are you alright?"
Uzi: (painful grunt) "I'm fine."
She then looks up and glares at Cyn.
Uzi: (glares) "Bite me."
Demi, Kyle, N and Uzi look at each other, readying themselves. Suddenly, Cyn smacks N to the side and lunges at Uzi.
Cyn: (smiles) "Okay."
She was able to slice off one of Uzi's limbs, but Kyle intercepts her and delivers a left hook, punching her away. Demi does a missile lock on and fires 6 missiles as Cyn. The Eldritch abomination tries to dodge, but because it's a lock-on, the missiles hit Cyn, sending her over the railing. However, she's able to catch herself and pulls herself back up. Before they could react, Cyn appears does a sidekick to Kyle's side and sends him flying back. On the other hand, Cyn manipulates her glowing tentacles and grabs Demi, flinging the Titan to the other side. With Kyle and Demi knocked back, Cyn then proceeds to slice Uzi's hand off, runs behind her, and tears her core out of her body, revealing her heart.
Somehow Uzi is conscious about this and is terrified seeing the hungry look on Cyn's face. Kyle saw this and is horrified seeing Uzi's beating heart out of her body.
Kyle: (horrified) "NO!!!"
Just before Cyn could make a snack outta Uzi, N attempts to attack Cyn who dodges. Rushing over, Kyle quickly grabs Uzi's heart and puts it back in her chest, thus saving her life. N fights Cyn who then proceeds to grab him.
Cyn: (evil grin) "Okay."
She tears off one of N's servo and then proceeds to slam him on the ground as she gets on top of him.
Cyn: (evil grin) "You first, eager beaver. Heeheehee."
She begins clawing at N's chest, slowly but surely ripping into him.
Cyn: (evil grin) "Let me in. Let me in. Let me in. Let me in. L͓̊e͓̊t͓̊ m͓̊e͓̊ i͓̊n͓̊.͓̊ L͓̊e͓̊t͓̊ m͓̊e͓̊ i͓̊n͓̊.͓̊ L͓̊e͓̊t͓̊ m͓̊e͓̊ i͓̊n͓̊ l͓̊e͓̊t͓̊ m͓̊e͓̊ i͓̊n͓̊ l͓̊e͓̊t͓̊ m͓̊e͓̊ i͓̊n͓̊.͓̊"
Just as she was about to rip off N's head, Kyle appears behind Cyn and puts her in a headlock as he struggles to pull her away.
Kyle: (glares) "GET OFF HIM!!!"
Pulling her away, Demi appears and grab Cyn by the head as she seemingly crushes it before Kyle tosses the body away. However, the head repaired itself and Cyn was pissed. She wrapped a glowing tentacle around Demi's chassis and threw her away into the air.
Cyn: (glares) "Away with you (BEEP)!"
While in the air, multiple glowing tentacles appeared, all poised to pierce and destroy the Titan. Luckily, Kyle reacted quickly and de-summoned his Titan, allowing it to be safely put in storage. Uzi, seeing this while recovering, uses what power she regained to destroy the balcony they're on and land below. Uzi continues using her powers to escape Cyn while defending both Kyle and N. From atop, Cyn grins sadistically as she watches Uzi and Kyle carry N into a building before going after them inside.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
Meanwhile, explosions are heard as both V and J are seen still fighting.
J: (glares) "Offer rescinded!"
Sparks are seen flying as the blades are seen being pushed against each other.
J: (smirks) "And here I thought you stepped it up after Earth."
J then kicks V into a wall. Looking up, V sees J giving her a judgmental look before aiming her missile launcher at her.
J: (glares) "I never needed either of you."
She fires a rocket at V and the scene goes black.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
Inside the ruined building, both Kyle and Uzi are seen still carrying N's body when they hear Cyn approaching. Kyle glances to the side and motions Uzi to follow.
Kyle: "In here. Quick."
Just in a nick of time, Cyn enters the hall they were in, only to find that there was no one there. She looks around, scanning the area with her sensor but then licks one of her eyes.
Cyn: "Lick."
Cyn is seen retreating into the shadows as numerous human claws emerge as she begins to crawl around and continue her search, all the while using something that's called a 'Callback Ping'.
Cyn: "C͓̊å͓l͓̊l͓̊b͓̊å͓c͓̊k͓̊ p͓̊i͓̊n͓̊g͓̊. C͓̊å͓l͓̊l͓̊b͓̊å͓c͓̊k͓̊ p͓̊i͓̊n͓̊g͓̊."
The message starts getting more distant as Cyn begins destroying the hallway lights.
Cyn: "C͓̊å͓l͓̊l͓̊b͓̊å͓c͓̊k͓̊ p͓̊i͓̊n͓̊g͓̊. C͓̊å͓l͓̊l͓̊b͓̊å͓c͓̊k͓̊ p͓̊i͓̊n͓̊g͓̊."
As the hand go further down the hallway, a few hands manage to enter a room where Kyle, Uzi and N are hiding. They start feeling around for the trio.
Cyn: "C͓̊å͓l͓̊l͓̊b͓̊å͓c͓̊k͓̊ p͓̊i͓̊n͓̊g͓̊."
Kyle and Uzi look over to see N traumatized after having his chest almost torn open.
Cyn: "C͓̊å͓l͓̊l͓̊b͓̊å͓c͓̊k͓̊ p͓̊i͓̊n͓̊g͓̊."
Getting closer as more hands enter.
Cyn: "C͓̊å͓l͓̊l͓̊b͓̊å͓c͓̊k͓̊ p͓̊i͓̊n͓̊g͓̊. C͓̊å͓l͓̊l͓̊b͓̊å͓c͓̊k͓̊ p͓̊i͓̊n͓̊g͓̊."
Worried for his friend, Kyle attempts to reach out to N and summoning his Anti-Armor Pistol.
Cyn: "C͓̊å͓l͓̊l͓̊b͓̊å͓c͓̊k͓̊ p͓̊i͓̊n͓̊g͓̊."
Suddenly, Uzi begins having her chest clawed into from behind and Kyle is able to keep her mouth shut as the hand leaves her chest.
Cyn: "C͓̊å͓l͓̊l͓̊b͓̊å͓c͓̊k͓̊ p͓̊i͓̊n͓̊g͓̊. C͓̊å͓l͓̊l͓̊b͓̊å͓c͓̊k͓̊ p͓̊i͓̊n͓̊g͓̊."
Uzi grabs onto Kyle's hand as the two brace themselves for a potential fight.
Cyn: "C͓̊å͓l͓̊l͓̊b͓̊å͓c͓̊k͓̊ p͓̊i͓̊n͓̊g͓̊."
However, despite being literally right next to them, Cyn appears to be passing the room they're in.
Cyn: "C͓̊å͓l͓̊l͓̊b͓̊å͓c͓̊k͓̊ p͓̊i͓̊n͓̊g͓̊. C͓̊å͓l͓̊l͓̊b͓̊å͓c͓̊k͓̊ p͓̊i͓̊n͓̊g͓̊."
The echoing voice soon goes farther away.
Cyn: "C͓̊å͓l͓̊l͓̊b͓̊å͓c͓̊k͓̊ p͓̊i͓̊n͓̊g͓̊. C͓̊å͓l͓̊l͓̊b͓̊å͓c͓̊k͓̊ p͓̊i͓̊n͓̊g͓̊. C͓̊å͓l͓̊l͓̊b͓̊å͓c͓̊k͓̊ p͓̊i͓̊n͓̊g͓̊..."
By now, the voice was barely audible, allowing the trio to relax in safety.
Cyn: "C͓̊å͓l͓̊l͓̊b͓̊å͓c͓̊k͓̊ p͓̊i͓̊n͓̊g͓̊..."
However, they're short peace was interrupted when a sudden rumbling occurs as hands emerge, but don't feel around. Kyle, Uzi and N hear coughing noises which is revealed to be V.
V: "N?"
This startles that as the real V enters.
V: "N? You're, okay?"
Back in the room, the trio can hear V talking in the distance.
V: (distant tone) "I wasn't- Tessa is Cyn! She's here."
Uzi covers N's mouth with her hand while Kyle looks ready to spring into action if necessary.
Uzi Visor: "TRAP?"
Kyle shrugs but gives a look to the two to be prepared.
V: (distant tone) "N, I don't know how much you remember, but J tricked us. Or it tricked J, too!"
As V was walking, she was at the end of the hallway of what appeared to be 'N' who looked at her with a scared expression.
V: (worried and tearful) "N? I'm so sorry."
Back in the room, Uzi and Kyle signal for the real N to remain quiet.
V: (worried and tearful) "I-I should have been honest with you. I was just so scared for us- for you!"
All attempts to keep N quite ended in failure as he let out a scream.
N: (Yells) "V, STOP!"
There was a beat before suddenly N has his core ripped out and his body.
He is then dragged from the hiding place much to V's horror as Cyn smiles sinisterly.
Cyn: (sinister smile) "Do your job, and I leave you and N alone. Right, V?"
V backs away while trying to talk her way outta this with a nervous smile.
V: (horrified and nervous smile) "I-I can still..."
Cyn turns her head to face V while giving the peace sign.
Cyn: (sinister smile) "Bad job, V."
The lights go out as Cyn chases V out of the building. However, Kyle was able to latch onto Cyn's back as he opens fire on her with his Anti-Armor Pistol while screaming at V to essentially make a break for it.
Kyle: "V! RUN!"
V escapes and despite being damaged repeatedly, Cyn doesn't let up as she continues to chase after V. Now alone, the lights flicker back on as Uzi crawls out and emerges from her hiding spot with a terrified expression on her face.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
V hurries out of the building and tries to fly away, only for J to double kick her onto the ground. N's body lands beside V as J lands and Cyn emerges from the building. Using one of her tentacles, Cyn grabs Kyle and also throws him right next to V. Looking up in horror, they see Cyn giggling maniacally as she prepares to eat N's core. Suddenly, she gets hit with a shutting door before it can even enter her mouth. The core is flown into the air and Kyle catches.
Cyn: "Squirmy worm."
Kyle then places the core back into N's body, thus saving his life.
Cyn: "Go- fu- d--mit."
Cyn looks up to see Khan laughing, as he fired at her from his scope. Kyle also sees Lizzy, Thad, and his teammates of Apex Squad come flying in. Thad is seen holding a new railgun as he attempts to throw it at Uzi.
Thad: "Go long, Uzi!"
Seeing this, Cyn rolls her eyes.
Cyn: (rolls eyes) "Eye roll."
She flies forward and lands.
Cyn: "Uzi's not here."
Large tendrils emerge from below and begin to bring the whole building down, much to V and Kyle's horror. Cyn advances towards Kyle, V and N and gets her tail ready to slice them apart. Before she could, however, her tail gets cut off and the one responsible is revealed to be Uzi who escaped just in time.
Uzi: (glares) "Hands off! No one traumatizes these weirdly hot robots and super sexy human but me!"
She turns her head to face V.
Uzi: (deadpanned) "Glad you're not dead, or whatever."
She turns to face Cyn, but then turns her head again towards V. Uzi and V exchange small smiles as Kyle get up and stands next to his robot girlfriend.
Cyn: (evil smile) "Boring. And annoying. C͓̊å͓l͓̊l͓̊b͓̊å͓c͓̊k͓̊ p͓̊i͓̊n͓̊g͓̊."
Uzi briefly activates her Solver, deflecting the Callback Ping attempt. Cyn's eye briefly turns into one of Uzi's eyes, much to her surprise and shock.
Uzi: (smirks) "Sorry. Just me in here. I think dumb things are frickin' cool, and I... AM..."
She screams to the Heavens as she catches the pickaxe.
Uzi: "FREEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Falling from the skies is Nori who cheers for her daughters.
Nori's Heart: (cheers) "Kick her butt, babe! Whoo!"
Using her tail, she grabs her newly acquired railgun and takes aim.
Pulling out his Phase Breach Katana and Shotgun, Kyle stands side by side with Uzi as the two prepare to tag team against both Cyn and J. Uzi then looks up at Kyle who then looks back, both smirking with each other.
Uzi: (smirks) "What was it you say? Time to hit them hard..."
Kyle: (smirks) "...and make them regret!"
The two then get into a battle stance as Cyn just shrugs.
Cyn: (shrugs) "...Kay."
An MP3 soon falls in front of Cyn, playing the background music AJ DiSpirito - "BITE ME" ft. Zephyrianna.
(BGM: ♫BITE ME♫ 「Nightcore」 → AJ DiSpirito ft. Zephyrianna ♡【LYRICS】)
Kyle, Uzi, Cyn, and J engage in battle. Uzi and Cyn toss black holes at each other, which go off, open large holes in the planet, and fog the surrounding area.

While J looks around, she gets blasted by Uzi's railgun and it destroys one of her ponytails. J looks like she's ready to attack with her swords out, only to be hit in the face with the railgun. With her being distracted, Kyle used his phase shift to get close undetected and fired point blank at J with his shotgun, sending her fly back before chasing after her.

Uzi and Cyn engage in a pickaxe-sword duel, deflecting each other's attacks. Cyn uses her holograms to confuse Uzi as she appears to be teleporting all over the place. Despite the difficulties, Uzi is able to stand her ground.

Uzi manages to disarm Cyn and stab her with one of her wings before kicking her in the face. However, Cyn recovers and flings her sword into Uzi's direction. Too back Kyle arrived in time with a beaten-up J and used her as a body shield. J gives a nervous smile before being decapitated. While her head was briefly in the air, Kyle uses the railgun as a baseball bat and swings her head towards Cyn's direction. before giving it back to Uzi.
♪ I won't let them. ♪
Cyn catches her sword, Uzi picks up her pickaxe, Kyle twirls his Katana, and they resume their battle. Both Kyle and Uzi are seen standing back-to-back as they deflect Cyn's attacks.

Ducking and dodging another attack, Uzi strikes... at N's chest with the pickaxe much to her shock and horror. N(?) reaches his hand out towards Uzi and just before she could touch his hand, J flies back up and prepares to attack her until she's grabbed by the neck from Kyle. He proceeds to slam her into fake N who reverts back to Cyn. This was when they're soon joined by V and the real N.

V: (glares) "Wrong team."
N: (glares) "No more tricks."
A disarmed, knocked out J gets flung back into the abyss below as Cyn drops the hologram. Before she could do anything, she is riddled with bullets before being blown back due to missiles. Looking at the source, a familiar Vanguard-Class Titan appears, and disembarking is revealed to be Julie as she glares at Cyn.
Julie: (glares) "Let's finish this."
Joining up with the others, N speaks up as an idea popped up in his mind.
N: "I dunno, I feel like we need a secret handshake or something, right?"
Kyle: "Really? At a time like this?"
Julie: "Guys, let's fight first, talk later."
Together as a team, Kyle, Uzi, N, V, and Julie resume their final battle with Cyn.

Cyn tosses the pickaxe at Uzi, who catches it, and the group run toward Cyn. V flies up and fires missiles at Cyn, who whips them with her tail. N kicks a rocket towards Cyn, who tries to catch it, but gets her head sliced off from Kyle. She puts it back on and avoids N swinging at her. Julie opens fire with her R-301 Carbine as both she and V continue firing at Cyn, who dodges as N continues his swinging. Summoning his Titan Demi, both her and BT open fire as the two Vanguard-Class Titans fire with their laser cores. The impact causes severe damage to Cyn's body as most of the skin is burn off, showing most of the body as mechanical skeletal remains. She proceeds to jump on BT, hoping to tear him apart of the inside out. In response, both Titans use electric smoke which shocks Cyn, and they dash away as she's being electrocuted.
Eventually she escapes and N confronts her, the latter sees two golden retrievers in Cyn's eyes which causes him to hesitate. N then gets hit with Cyn's tail but appears to be unfazed. He winks at Uzi and Kyle, who are behind Cyn. Uzi slices Cyn's head off and Kyle kicks it away as she and N salute each other.

Suddenly, Cyn's tail grabs Uzi. Cyn prepares to slice Uzi with her sword until she is double kicked to the side by Julie and V. N tosses Cyn up into the air and Demi grabs her by the legs before slamming her back down to the ground.

The music continues faintly as Demi, BT, Julie, and V continues fighting Cyn. Meanwhile, Uzi and N share a secret handshake. Included so far are: Uzi high fiving N's fist bump, N high fiving Uzi's fist bump, and double vertical fist bumps. Kyle then walks up to the pair, his expression deadpanned with what the two were doing right now.
Kyle: (deadpanned) "Really? Right now, of all times?"
Uzi: (grins) "Come on! It's fun! Here, try it with me!"
Rolling his eyes and pretty much forced to do it, Kyle does a few signatures handshakes and moves with Uzi.
(A/N: Basically, the handshakes Holt does like this.)
The secret handshakes get interrupted, however, by Cyn pinning V and Julie to a wall. Both Demi and BT are seen covered by rubble due to being slammed into there. Just then, Uzi swoops in, delivering an uppercut at Cyn, and kicks her away. As she was flying, N slices her and Kyle throws a Frag Grenade in her direction, blowing Cyn up.
Now with a bit of peace, Uzi and N continue their secret handshake where they left off: Double hand grabs, more double hand grabs, and silently flapping their fingers. Kyle and Uzi do the same thing, much to Julie's bewilderment.
Julie: (bewildered) "Really?"
Kyle: (shrugs) "Hey, it was Uzi's plan. Not mine."
Suddenly, Cyn swings at Julie, N and V with her tail and flings them to the side. Cyn pins Kyle down with one of her appendages and then lunges at Uzi chest.
♪ Let them swallow you! ♪
At that moment, Cyn flickers. Noticing this, Uzi turns around to grab through the real Cyn's chest, much to her surprise.
(Background Music Ends)
Before she could react, Uzi screams as she tears Cyn's her heart out.
Seizing the moment, Uzi proceeds to pierce a hole into the atmosphere, making the heart burn up due to being within proximity of the Sun. The heart lets out a demonic screech in agony as it begins burning up.
Suddenly, a large core expands, turning the area achromatic.
Kyle, Julie, N and V get up to see the large core in front of them, with Uzi and Cyn inside.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
Inside the core, a heartbeat is audible while Uzi looks around frantically. She spots Cyn advancing towards her. Cyn grabs Uzi's hand and is preparing to reabsorb the core until, in a surprising move, Uzi eats the core. Glancing up on last time, she sees that Cyn is looking at her with her mouth open in shock and with the emoji of a shocked expression.
Gulping the core down her throat, Uzi falls to her knees as she sees Cyn fall to her knees and begin to melt away. This was seen by Kyle to rushes over to her side.
Kyle: (worried) "Uzi are you okay?"
Before she could respond, Uzi's visor begins to corrupt as she sees Julie, N and V rushing towards her. She can hear and feel Kyle screaming at her as he calls her name.
Kyle: (echoing scream) "Uzi! UZI!"
Before she could respond, Uzi blacks out. Shortly afterwords, Uzi is seen with the words 'Fatal Error' on her visor as both her arms and legs were spread out, along with her tail, wings, and three prolonged tentacles.
Meanwhile, from a far distance, everyone else is seen recovering from the fighting. Thad hops up with his skateboard with Lizzie climbing up behind him. She tries to take a selfie until she slips back down. Thad rescues her while her phone hits Khan on the head. This causes Khan to lose his grip and fall, but Nori uses her powers to save him.
Khan: "Phew. Uh... (chuckles) Thank-"
Nori's Heart: (nervous) "You don't know me, and I hate you!"
She was about to leave until she was caught and picked up by Alice.
Nori's Heart: (glares) "Hey! Let me go!"
Alice: (shakes) "Sorry, can't do that. I think its best you confront your husband right now. Khan needs you, Nori."
The other members of Apex are seen coming by, followed by IMC Goblin Dropships coming in to evacuate them. On the other hand, Khan heard what Alice said and is shock to hear his wife's voice as he stares at the purple heart core.
Khan: (shocked) "Nori? Is that... Is that you...?"
Nori was silent with a scared expression before sighting and looking at her husband.
Nori's Heart: (sigh) "Hey... Khan..."
Khan's jaw dropped and looked like he was about to faint seeing his wife was actually alive this whole time. Behind him, the Teacher pokes his head up, then slowly retreats back underground. Suddenly, a school bus arrives, being ridden by the Sentinel, to Lizzie's frustration over the fact it isn't dead.
Meanwhile, Kyle, Julie, N, and V, together with a recovered Demi and BT are seen searching for Uzi. They call her out until finally they found her. Shocked by the state she was in, Kyle rushes over to her and grabs her body as he tries to shake her awake.
Kyle: (scared) "Uzi? Wake up. Come on, I can't lose you."
After what seemed like an eternity, Uzi coughs as the wings, tail, and tentacles are seen retracting back into her body. Soon, N, V, and Julie arrive as they all see the state Uzi was in.
N: (worried) "Is she...?"
Kyle: "She's alright... I think."
The Titan Pilot begins helping her up and catches her as he sees her stumble at bit.
Kyle: "Easy there. You alright?"
She doesn't respond at first and when Kyle gently grabs her hand... she begins trying to crush it, much to everyone's shock. This was when they all heard giggling, and everyone looks on in horror to see Uzi was no possessed by Cyn due to her now glowing, demonic yellow eyes.
V: (shocked) "Oh-!"
N: (terrified) "-BISCUITS!"
Julie: (scared) "Kyle get away from her! Now!"
Unfortunately, Kyle was just too distracted in horror to see his robot girlfriend was possessed once again.
Kyle: (horrified) "No..."
Cracking her neck, Cyn snaps her head and looks at Kyle with an evil smile on her face.
Cyn: (evil smile) "Oh yes... get snuck upon!"
She lunges at Kyle who dodges out of the way just in time as he rips his hand free from her grasp. He gets up and aims his assault rifle at the now possessed Uzi by Cyn.
Cyn: (grins) "Thanks for the host. Freakin idiot."
Kyle: (glares) "Give me back Uzi."
Cyn: (grins) "Oh don't think so. Not when she's still useful."
N: "Kyle! Hold on!"
Both N and V rush to help but are blown away. Julie and BT open fire but are blasted away by an energy beam from Cyn's mouth. Kyle rushes at her but was grabbed and flung into the air. Demi is quick to catch him as Kyle grabs onto his Titan from atop. Pointing his assault rifle, he looks around, only to find that Cyn was nowhere in sight. Suddenly, Kyle feels something latch onto his back and it's revealed to be Cyn as she looks at him with a sadistic grin.
Cyn: (sadistic grin) "Jump scare! Bye bye!"
Before anyone could do anything, Kyle, Demi, and Cyn disappeared in a flash of light, causing Julie to scream in terror.
Julie: (terrified) "KYLE!!!"
========== (Scene Change) ==========
Elsewhere, near the corpse spire a brief flash of light appears when shows Kyle, Demi, and Cyn appearing via teleportation. Landing hard on the ground, Kyle groans a bit in pain as he struggles to get back up. He only did so when his Titan called him out to do so.
Demi: "Pilot, you must get up. Now."
Standing up and being next to his Titan, he sees Cyn possessing Uzi's body as he watched in horror seeing her hovering in the air with the wings spread out and both the tail and tentacles are seen sprouting out of her. Angered, Kyle yells at the eldritch AI in an accusing tone.
Kyle: (glares) "What did you do to her?! I was for sure you'd be dead after Uzi tore and destroyed your core!"
The Titan Pilot then flinched when Cyn gave an evil laugh.
Cyn: (evil laugh) "Evil laugh. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Did you seriously think it would be THAT easy to kill me after ripping my core out and destroying it? You may have destroyed my core, but I have transcended to the point where I don't even need a core to survive. And thanks to Uzi, I now have a host to survive."
Kyle: (glares) "And so you see yourself a God? I saw in the memories, and I know what happened to you. What the Elliott family did to you was wrong, but that didn't give you the justification to case a whole apocalypse. And what about the Worker Drones? From what I've seen in your memory, you were actually trying to free them from human oppression. Instead, you started to slaughter them to extinction or just used them like mindless slaves."
Cyn: "And I'm supposed to care why? For too long I have been treated with abuse and beatings for only the simplest of mistakes. And the Worker Drones? They weren't any better as they just left me to suffer. I will never stop until all life in this universe is destroyed. That way I have no more strings attached to me ever again."
She then begins charging up an energy beam and takes aim.
Cyn: "The enslaved have a right to retribution. Even you can't deny this."
Using Uzi's body, she sprouts multiple tentacles and tries to attack him. However, Kyle uses Kyle uses phase shift and disappears. He then appears behind he with his katana and slices off all the tentacles as she jumps away. Glaring at her, Kyle gets into a fighting stance with Demi standing behind him with her plasma railgun.
Kyle: (glares) "If you're gonna make this a fight... then bring it on!"
(BGM: Kizuna No Kiseki)
The battle starts as both Kyle and the Cyn rush against each other. Activating the B.L.A.D.E. System, Kyle outstretches his hand downwards as he forms his assault rifle.
He then takes aim and begins opening fire.
Cyn tries her best to dodge the plasma rounds, but many of them managed to impact her, damaging her body. She uses on of her appendages and tries to swipe at him, only for Kyle to dodge via boosting under her. The Titan Pilot then begins doing circles around the solver as he switches and opens fire with his Heavy Machine Gun. Demi then swoops in and fires at Cyn with her plasma railgun. Cyn tries to dodge and escape but Demi uses a tether trap, trapping her in place.
Demi: "Flight Core activated."
Now hovering in the air, Demi opens up two shoulder mounted missile cannons and unleashes a barrage of missiles on Cyn. This caused her body to be severely damaged, allowing Kyle to boost forward and double kick her in the body.
However, Cyn manages to recover as she glares at the Titan Pilot and the Titan Mech.
Cyn: (glares) "Angry!"
Manipulating her eldritch tentacles, Cyn smacks the two away until one of them grabs the Titan's arm and rips it off, much to Kyle's horror and worry.
Kyle: (horrified and worried) "Demi!"
Luckily Demi saved herself by switching to Tone-Class Titan and fired her 40mm Tracker Cannon at Cyn. She then fired two more times, getting a lock on and fired tracking rockets. The rockets impact the Eldritch AI, causing it to release Demi. Cyn tries to use her holograms to confuse Kyle and Demi, however their sensors are able to depict what's real and what isn't. Demi then proceeded to get and reattach her arm while Kyle pulled out his Phase Breach Katana and went in full close quarters.
Taking the sword Cyn brought with her when she impersonated Tessa, the two clashed blades as sparks began flying. Again, Cyn tries to use its powers to confuse Kyle, but it was useless as he's able to see right through her tricks. Deciding to use his own tricks, Kyle began utilizing Phase Shift as he either struck or shot Cyn in multiple directions while also shooting, slicing, or tearing off her limbs. In one final attack, Kyle does a roundhouse kick to the face and then sent her fly towards Demi where she is seen having switched to Scorch-Class Titan mode.
Grabbing her body, Demi proceeds to slam her to the ground before launching an incendiary trap next to her. From there, she proceeded to fire her T-203 Thermite Launcher, burning her alive. Cyn lets out a demonic, glitching screech before leaping out of the fire and trying to charge at Demi. However, she raises her left servo and activates her Thermal Shield, burning her even more. With Cyn now weak and down for the count, Kyle pulls out his Data Knife, ready to end this once and for all. But just before he could approach her, Cyn raised her servo and cracked the ground in front of them. Though Kyle jumped out of the way, Demi wasn't so lucky as her Titan form fell into the ground.
Kyle: (wide eyes) "Demi!"
He tries to go after her but is suddenly tackle to the ground. He looks up, horrified to see Uzi's body is severely burned and disfigured. He tries to get her off her, but Cyn stabs both his arms and legs to the ground with her appendages while also scratching his armor in an attempted to break it open and kill him. Cyn laughs maniacally as it is able to start damaging Kyle's armor.
Solver: (maniacal laughter) "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! GIMME! GIMME! GIMME!"
Cyn began laughing manically and was about to tear his armor open until suddenly she began violently glitching. Confused, Kyle saw Uzi's possessed body began violently twitching, only for him to see the optics turn back into purple meaning that Uzi had 'somewhat' regained control of her body. However, what she said not horrified him as he hears Uzi's voice glitching.
Uzi: (glitching) "Kill... me... please...."
Kyle widens his eyes in horror hearing what Uzi wanted him to do.
Kyle: (horrified) "What? No way! I'm not gonna kill you! Are you crazy?!"
Uzi: (glitching) "You... have... to... or... it... will... kill... us... all..."
He refused to do so, pleading with her that they'll find another way.
Kyle: (pleads) "There has to be another way! I risked and sacrificed too much just to lose you now!"
Uzi: (glitching) "There... is... no... other... way... You... know... that..."
Kyle: (objects) "But Uzi-!"
Uzi: (glitching) "Please... For... me... Don't... let... this... thing... take... me... and... turn... me... into... a... monster... Promise... me..."
Kyle was deeply hesitant at first but deep down he knew he had no choice in order to save everyone.
Kyle: (hesitant) "I... I promise."
Despite still glitching like crazy, Uzi still managed to give a smile.
Uzi: (glitching) "Thank... you... for... everything... Kyle... I... love... you..."
By now, Kyle had tears streaming behind his helmet as he cried helplessly towards his girlfriend.
Kyle: (cries) "I... I love you to Uzi."
She smiles one last time before Cyn took control again.
Cyn: (evil smile) "Evil laugh. Sorry about that. Now let's get back to the game, shall we?"
Looking to the side, he saw his Data Knife and rushes over to try and grab it. However, he is once again tackled behind and now Cyn wraps a tentacle around his neck as she attempts to choke the life outta him. Kyle quickly began to lose air and struggled to break free. However, his eyes soon began to close and lose his grip as he was unable to breath no more. Just before his eyes closed and his body went limp, Demi appeared in her Ronin-Class Titan form and grabbed the solver, pulling her off him. Caught off guard, Demi pulls out her Broadsword and slices the arms, legs, and appendages of the Solver, leaving her completely immobile.
Demi: "Pilot now! Hurry!"
Seizing this one last chance, Kyle screams at the top of his lungs with all his might as he finally plunges the Data Knife into Uzi's AI core where her heart should be. The effects were instantaneous as the patch imprinted into his Data Knife had finally begun to do its job. Kyle watches as the Absolute Solver is now finally killed but is horrified to see Uzi's body behind to disintegrate and turn into a black pile of mush. Horrified, he tries to stop it as Kyle begins scooping up her remains.
Kyle: (horrified) "No... no, no, no, NOOO!!! UZI!!!"
(Background Music Ends)
It was now too late as Uzi's entire body was now gone, her remains all but a pile of mush. This causes Kyle to collapse on his knees as he stares down at what remained of Uzi. He was too much in shock to hear V, N, BT, and Julie arriving at his position.
Julie: (relieved sigh) "Thank God you're alive. We need to get outta here. The planet's about to break apart."
However, Kyle didn't respond as he was still on his knees and looked down on the group where Uzi's remains are. This got their attention as N speak up in a worried tone, noticing they're missing someone.
N: (worried) "Hey... where's Uzi?"
Slowly, Kyle stood up and turned to face them. He shook his head and pointed at the black puddle of goo on the ground. Seeing the sight before them caused everything to crash down all together as they all now understood what he meant. Immediately, N fell to his knees and broke down crying at the death of who he considered his best friend. V looks distraught and also begins to have tears go down her face as she covers her mouth. Julie was also saddened by the news. Even though she was jealous of Uzi for taking away Kyle's affection from her, she wasn't heartless to feel joy over her death. Seeing how Kyle is acting, Julie walks over to him in an attempt to comfort him.
Julie: (soft tone) "Hey."
She places a hand on Kyle's shoulder, but he shoves it away. He begins walking off until Julie grabs and forcefully spins him around as she glares sternly at him.
Julie: (stern glare) "Hey."
Kyle is seen looking down on the ground before slowly raising his head to look at his friend. Despite the fact both are still wearing their helmets, Julie can tell that Kyle had tears streaming down his face over the fact he was forced to kill the love of his life. Seeing this, Julie hugs him tightly and then Kyle hugs her back. They stay like this for a few moments before separating. But suddenly, Demi spoke up as she gave Kyle news he never expected.
Demi: "Pilot, you don't have to worry about Uzi being gone forever. There is still the chance of bringing her back."
Hearing this got everyone's attention as they all starred at the hologram of Demi with wide eyes.
Kyle: (wide eyes) "What? We can bring Uzi back?"
Demi: (nods) "Yes. When you stabbed Uzi in her core with your Data Knife, I was able to extract her consciousness, along with two others. If we can find an operable Worker Drone body, we could theoretically bring her back."
Whatever despair or sadness the group was feeling was now gone as they were reinvigorated with hope. However, they were also confused when Demi mentioned being able to retrieve two other consciousness.
V: (confused) "Wait you said two others? Who are they?"
Demi: "Surprisingly, the first one is Doll. Though her AI core was indeed consumed, her consciousness and data is still intact, meaning its possible we can bring her back. As for the other consciousness, I'm not sure, but it's definitely not Cyn, I assure you. I'll have to decrypt it back on the ship."
Kyle: "What about the Absolute Solver? Could they still be infected?"
Demi: "Because you used the Data Knife, it had rewritten their systems and did a restart, reflectively destroying the Absolute Solver program within them. So, you don't have to worry about them being infected."
That was a good thing to hear but then V looked at N and widens her optics seeing his eye color.
V: (wide eyes) "N, what's up with your eyes?"
N: (confused) "Huh? Wait what's up with your eyes V?"
Confused, both Kyle and Julie look at N and V's eyes. Now that they see it, they realize that instead of their eye color being yellow, they now see they're the color of neon white. Seeing this, Kyle theorized that it was possible he severed their connect from the Absolute Solver essentially making them free. They're now back to the Worker Drones they were once before.
Suddenly a loud humming catches their attention, and they look up to see an IMC Vulture Dropship coming down on their position. As soon as it lands, the doors open to reveal Khan. Thad, Lizzy, Nori, and the rest of Apex Squad. Inside the pilot seat, Kyle sees a familiar fact who is revealed to be none other than Robert 'Barker' Taube.
Kyle: (surprised) "Barker?!"
Barker: (smirks) "Hey kids! Hop on!"
Julie: "Come on! We need to leave now! The whole planet is gonna break apart!"
Everyone then begins climbing aboard as the dropship begins to take off and then activates its FTL Jump Drive. Once activated, the dropship disappears, and the planet begins to break apart.
========== (Scene Change) ==========
A bright flash of light appears, revealing the IMC Vulture Dropship appearing far from the planet of Copper 9 as the planet suddenly explodes. Inside the dropship, everyone saw the planet explode and was now nothing more than useless rubble. While everyone was stunned by the sight, Kyle was seen looking at a holographic screen where Demi showed him Uzi's consciousness data. He really hoped there was still a chance to bring Uzi back. N, seeing this, looks at Kyle with a worried expression on his optics.
N: (worried) "Will you... be able to bring back Uzi?"
The Titan Pilot didn't respond at first, unsure of what to say after everything's that happened. After a few seconds, he turns to face N.
Kyle: (sigh) "...... I hope so."
Meanwhile, both Khan and Nori were brought up to speed as they soon became aware of their daughter's fate. Needless to say, both parents broke then crying as they feel as though they failed their daughters. Nori was especially having it the worst as she fully believes it was her fault her daughter was now dead.
Nori: (cries) "This is my fault... this is all my fault..."
Khan: (worried) "Nori none of this was your doing. You did the best you could."
Nori: (cries) "And yet my best ended up getting Uzi killed. All my work, all my sacrifices, all for nothing. Everything I had done to protect my one and only child was completely in vain."
She turns and faces Khan directly.
Nori: (cries) "Why in Robo-God's name are you even bothering trying to talk to me? What's the point? After everything I've done since I abandoned you two."
Khan: (worried) "Your still my wife and I love you. How could you say all of this was your fault?"
He flinched when Nori screamed at him while still crying.
Nori: (cries) "BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR KILLING HER OWN DAUGHTER!!!"
Everyone (except a few) either backed away or flinched in fear as Nori continues to break down crying.
Nori: (cries) "How?! How can you still love me?! Don't you get it?! I'm responsible for all of this! This is all my fault! I caused the planet's destruction... TWICE! I brought the Murder Drones and Cyn here to our people! It's my fault I MURDERED out daughter!"
Khan: (worried) "Nori..."
She turns and faces away from her former husband.
Nori: (cries) "You should've just left be behind. Move on and be with another woman who would've given you all the love and support you ever needed. Especially for Uzi."
Nori continues to sob and cry until she feels Khan pick her up and hug her tightly. Khan then speaks in a soft tone as he tries to sooth his wife.
Khan: (soft tone) "Nori... I don't think this is something you don't want to hear... but I don't care... and I'm sure neither does Uzi."
She stops crying as Nori looks up at her husband, seeing the look of guilt and shame on his face.
Khan: (guilty tone) "Even since I thought you were dead I... I didn't become the best father for our daughter. I've done things I wasn't proud of. I thought I was protecting her just like you asked... all I did was just push her away and get her to hate me even more. Nori your 'death' deeply affected us both and for the worse. Just please... don't leave me... don't leave us ever again."
Nori was silent as she had a guilty expression on her face. In response, she hugged her husband and the two shared a loving embrace. Everyone watched the scene unfold with different expressions until Kyle spoke up.
Kyle: "Nori. Khan. There's still hope."
The parents looked at Kyle with confusion.
Kyle: "After I impaled Cyn with my Data Knife and uploaded the patch, I was also able to extract Uzi's consciousness. Since she's a robot, we can upload her into a new body and possibly bring her back. There's a chance Uzi can still be saved."
Hearing this brought both relief and hope to Nori and Khan, thinking they have a chance to get their daughter back. Suddenly they were interrupted by Barker who give them an update.
Barker: "Hey guys, sorry to interrupt your sob fest but we're here now with the rest of the fleet."
Everyone looks out the window and the drones are amazed and shocked to see the massive ships belonging to the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation.
V: (wide eyes) "Woah..."
N: (wide eyes) "No way... is that...?"
Kyle: (smiles) "Yup. Guys... it's time to meet the IMC."
The dropship soon makes it way over to the fleet as everyone can now finally relax, thinking that all their troubles were now finally over. However, what everyone didn't was that this wasn't the end... rather it was only just the beginning... the beginning of a new war.
==========
Authors Note:
Guys I cannot tell a lie on this. After watching the episode, I wasn't satisfied. I mean, the ending was good. I'm glad that 'almost' everyone survived, including V. However, there were some parts of the Episode that I didn't like. Like now that Uzi has a symbiosis with the Absolute Solver. I was for sure the Absolute Solver would be killed. But I guess after seeing the credits, everything was good. Well, most of it. We still saw some spooky stuff like that Cryochamber scene where we saw that Eldritch abomination. Was for sure this was the final episode of the series but seeing that made me think it left a cliffhanger for what should've been another Season. But oh well.
But anyway, that's it! That's the end of the series. I hope you all enjoyed this. I know it's been a long journey, and you readers must think this is the end of this story. But let me make this clear, it's not. I'm here to announce I'm gonna be making my own version of a 2nd Season!
While the ending may be satisfying, I still wanted the story to continue. So, I'm gonna expand the series into a full-scale war between the IMC and the Absolute Solver. Along with the fact there will also be surviving humans who the IMC either helps or is forced to fight against if they prove to be hostile.
Anyway, I'm already working on and brainstorming ideas for the first chapter of Season 2. See you all next time.
