• 0:00
  I decided against the brew. I've got an Easter egg here, so
• 0:02
  I'm going to eat an Easter egg while we could.
• 0:05
  Nice. Yo Rex, can I have a slice of
• 0:07
  that? Yeah.
• 0:08
  Thank you. Well, we finally had a plan that
• 0:15
  we all thought through and sat down and agreed upon to take
• 0:18
  this factory. Sometimes it feels nice to be a
• 0:21
  real team. At least we pretend like it.
• 0:24
  You know, Iperion and I, we were fighting, firing on all
• 0:27
  cylinders, and everything was going great until Rex went AWOL.
• 0:31
  He just went right in, and Cordelia and I had to figure
• 0:35
  shit out on the fly. But against all odds, we
• 0:38
  persevered. Well, at least until Rex got
• 0:42
  fucking stabbed. Ace and Cordelia see this.
• 1:39
  Cortana slide into Rex's cockpit.
• 1:41
  Time stops. We flash into Rex's cockpit with
• 1:45
  the sword mere inches from his face.
• 1:48
  The world around it. Rex goes black, and we hear.
• 1:56
  Hello Rex. Hello.
• 1:57
  We need to stop meeting like this.
• 1:59
  Oh, I think it's time for us to stop reading like this.
• 2:02
  You've been doing well. I've been proud of your
• 2:05
  progress. Thanks.
• 2:09
  I think it's time we had a little talk.
• 2:13
  Oh, OK. And you see this sort of figure
• 2:19
  begin to slowly materialize in front of you, starting with this
• 2:21
  wide grin. And he goes.
• 2:24
  I've been waiting for the right moment for you to make a
• 2:30
  decision, but I'm not going to let you make this decision
• 2:33
  uninformed. I'm going to tell you what's
• 2:35
  going on. OK.
• 2:39
  And it slowly begins to materialize and you see this,
• 2:41
  it, it's not quite what you expected it to look like.
• 2:45
  It's sort of round with several balls like as like a torso and
• 2:51
  head sort of stacked on top of each other.
• 2:52
  And it's got these little horns on top of it.
• 2:54
  And he goes. You see clearly you have been
• 3:00
  chosen for a greater purpose. OK.
• 3:05
  And I regret to inform you that you are not the only one to be
• 3:10
  chosen. Ace and Cordelia are as well.
• 3:13
  But even within, you are destined to fight a greater
• 3:17
  purpose than these mere machines.
• 3:21
  This isn't for you. You're better than this.
• 3:23
  Are you saying that I'm going to be fighting something else?
• 3:28
  In a matter of speaking, you can see it flow before you now, this
• 3:31
  energy. And as it materializes, you see
• 3:34
  it has these rings hanging around it, around these, around
• 3:38
  its torso and its arms. And at this point you can see
• 3:41
  it's this weird small little purplish.
• 3:43
  Creature, you see, this is a power that is not from your
• 3:48
  world, it is from my world. Actually, there are people from
• 3:54
  my world call it shadow energy. OK.
• 3:58
  You see, the Weave is more than just a source of magic for you.
• 4:03
  It's a conduit between multiple places.
• 4:07
  And he he opens up this portal and you see three men on horses.
• 4:16
  How does Ichi react when he sees a portal open in front of him?
• 4:20
  I'm sorry, what? And the portal closes and a
• 4:25
  another one opens and you begin to see these portals open all
• 4:29
  around you and Gynan sees a portal open in front of her.
• 4:34
  Oh my God I need to go back to bed.
• 4:36
  What the fuck? You see, Rex, there are many
• 4:42
  worlds. All of them have a force for
• 4:45
  good and a force for evil. Some forces for good is just a
• 4:49
  basic holy power or there's there's others that call it the
• 4:53
  morphing grid and you see. These three people on a
• 4:57
  spaceship and he's. Yeah, the.
• 5:00
  The small child in the cockpit goes, what?
• 5:03
  Oh, no, what is that? Before the port, before the
• 5:08
  portal closes. And you see other worlds with
• 5:12
  machines, and you see other worlds where people fight with
• 5:16
  cards, and you see worlds where people fight with tops and other
• 5:20
  little robot things and all of these different worlds.
• 5:24
  And he goes. And the one thing all of these
• 5:27
  worlds are fighting is a great force that goes beyond the
• 5:30
  plains. Some call it the Charybdis,
• 5:34
  others the Unspeakable ones. Others are just simple demonic
• 5:39
  energy, all of which are connected to a greater power
• 5:44
  beyond. Even then, your world is
• 5:47
  special. You have been largely untainted
• 5:50
  until now by these humans that have been messing around with
• 5:55
  the weave. I've been doing my best to keep
• 5:56
  it somewhat safe, but it's getting a little out of hand as
• 6:01
  you can see any. Sort of motions to this energy
• 6:03
  around you and he goes. You see from my world people
• 6:09
  know me as a creature called a Hoopa and I make portals as as
• 6:16
  your power, which makes sense. But I'm as you can see I'm small
• 6:25
  and I am bound. Your key will help with that.
• 6:30
  And the the cult that was holding on to it also knew all
• 6:35
  these secrets, and they could not speak them for fear of
• 6:40
  unleashing this power before it was ready.
• 6:43
  OK, so this key, and he's going to pull it out of his sock is
• 6:50
  what is what Like this is going to stop all the bad things
• 6:53
  happening through all these different places this is going
• 6:56
  to. Oh no, no, no, this is not this
• 6:58
  will. This key will help me hit my
• 7:02
  true powers so that I can help you fight what is to come.
• 7:06
  OK, so I'm going to put the key back in up in put it in your
• 7:10
  breast pocket for now and me flight suit.
• 7:13
  OK, So what is to come? The Weave, whether you release
• 7:21
  me or not, is about to hit a breaking point.
• 7:23
  You see, very shortly all of these worlds shall begin to flow
• 7:29
  into yours and you will need more power, my power to help
• 7:34
  close what is to come. OK, so let's say I unlock
• 7:43
  whatever it is that's binding you.
• 7:45
  What then happens to me, the people around me, you know?
• 7:53
  We fight Rex, that's what we do. Let's be honest, no, nothing
• 7:58
  ever come as a free. You know that, I know that.
• 8:02
  Oh, I never said it was going to be free.
• 8:04
  Yeah, I've almost died twice just to speak to you, and now
• 8:07
  you say unlock me and I'll give you this great power.
• 8:10
  But at what cost does that come to?
• 8:14
  What do I lose for you to gain this freedom?
• 8:19
  I will need a vessel. We will share a body, if you
• 8:24
  will. We will share the divine.
• 8:26
  OK. We've already fought together.
• 8:28
  Well, I mean, you wouldn't have survived this long.
• 8:30
  And I've been helping you in moving your machine.
• 8:34
  OK, yeah, I I agree. You know, you have been a big
• 8:37
  help in this battle. Fuck.
• 8:43
  Before you appears a floating lock because.
• 8:47
  The choice is yours. I can help you with the sword in
• 8:50
  front of you. Do you think you have the
• 8:51
  reaction time to stop it? We both know I don't have the
• 8:55
  reaction time to stop it. I honestly feel like you're
• 9:01
  lying to me though because the divine is just a machine.
• 9:05
  It turns off once I exit it, so why would you want to inhabit a
• 9:08
  body that turns off? Oh, I didn't say I'd inhabit the
• 9:12
  divine. You just said you didn't have
• 9:14
  it. I said we would share a body.
• 9:17
  I want you, Rex. I chose you.
• 9:20
  Oh. Fuck, what do I get weekends?
• 9:27
  Like do you get every weekend? I guess you know how does it
• 9:30
  work. You can maintain the driver's
• 9:33
  seat until we need to fight. I can help guide you.
• 9:37
  But once I'm freed, I can. We can talk more.
• 9:41
  We can be closer. You don't need to meet in the
• 9:44
  middle of combat like this. Oh.
• 9:47
  Fuck Kyle, do it. Do it.
• 9:51
  Do it. He wants your body, Niall your
• 9:56
  cockpit. You can't say no to a suitor
• 9:58
  like that, Niall. He's covered in balls, Niall.
• 10:06
  Balls and horns, Niall. I'm.
• 10:13
  Going to grab Rex is going to grab the lock and he's going to
• 10:21
  look at Hooper and he's going to be like, promise you won't
• 10:24
  interfere or put my friends in danger and I'll let you free.
• 10:29
  We need Ace and Cordelia, they will be part of the fight to
• 10:32
  come. Yeah, but you, you're evading
• 10:37
  what I'm saying there. I will not harm them.
• 10:40
  We need them. Can you shake on it?
• 10:42
  Sure. And he'll, he'll, he goes.
• 10:46
  I I. Imagine I'm shaking.
• 10:49
  My hands are currently tied behind me at the moment.
• 10:51
  Yeah, yeah. Shake one of his balls.
• 10:57
  His. Ball is his body man, you've
• 11:00
  seen a like 2 orbs on top of each other.
• 11:03
  Shake his orbs. Now I'm going to.
• 11:05
  Shake the orbs, Nile. I'm going to UN unlock this
• 11:10
  lock, but as I'm doing it, I'm just going to be like just know
• 11:13
  as easily as I've given you my my body, I can take it away.
• 11:16
  I'm going to unlock this, Yeah, and free.
• 11:22
  As you you unlock it, the lock snaps open and everything sort
• 11:26
  of goes silent for a second and yupa goes.
• 11:29
  It's fucking Showtime, Rex. Let's go.
• 11:33
  And you see this very small portal appeared basically
• 11:37
  directly in front of your eyes. And as time comes back,
• 11:42
  everybody, Ace and Cordelia, you see as this sword finishes
• 11:47
  sliding into Rex's cockpit, it emerges from the back of the
• 11:51
  samurai as as as it slides out the back of the samurai, it sort
• 12:02
  of stops. And Rex can here just let it.
• 12:07
  And all of the shadow energy begins to flow out of the
• 12:10
  samurai into the divine. And you just hit over the comes.
• 12:20
  I feel good. Rex What happens to the divine
• 12:24
  as it absorbs the shadow energy? The divine gets a makeover.
• 12:29
  It becomes more sleek. It is imbued with a sort of
• 12:33
  purplish energy and it just looks mean.
• 12:36
  It looks meaner than it did. But as you see like this energy
• 12:41
  go through into it, you know, you see like the armour plate in
• 12:47
  mending itself, you see it like like the sword changes from like
• 12:53
  this white blade into this Crimson purple blade.
• 12:56
  And it just, it just seems what's the word?
• 12:59
  It seems stronger than before, seem more like it seems more
• 13:04
  impending. Impending.
• 13:06
  Is that the word impeding impending?
• 13:08
  Imposing. Imposing.
• 13:09
  That's the one. It just seems like a scary
• 13:13
  fucking astir. Yeah, and this, this samurai
• 13:17
  sort of falls away and the sword just sort of falls out the front
• 13:20
  of your cockpit and stays in the back of his.
• 13:23
  This little portal in front of you disappears and Cordelian
• 13:28
  Ace. Is there are there any more of
• 13:31
  like enemy forces? Not that you can see at the very
• 13:36
  moment, but there's still this factory to deal with.
• 13:41
  Ace is going to look at Rex and in the in the radio he's just
• 13:46
  going to say, are are you hostile right now or are we
• 13:53
  going to finish the mission and talk about this after?
• 13:56
  We'll finish the mission and talk about it after.
• 13:58
  Great. OK.
• 14:01
  I, I will say Ace and Cordelia, you see, I, I imagine you have
• 14:06
  sort of like a little radar screen in front of you and the
• 14:09
  Divine's tag has switched to the fallen and it's friend or foe.
• 14:14
  Can I, can I start like a, like a private chat with Cordelia?
• 14:19
  Yeah. Channel 6 That's fine.
• 14:25
  All right, what the fuck are we going to do about this?
• 14:29
  The Fallen that doesn't, That doesn't feel good.
• 14:33
  No, it doesn't feel great. But you know, all of this is
• 14:37
  sort of new to me, and that particular thing seems way
• 14:44
  beyond my pay grade. I don't know how much they're
• 14:48
  paying you, probably more than me, but I think the pain is a
• 14:53
  problem for Doctor Schmidt as he has placed himself in charge of
• 15:01
  both of you and any maintenance issues that pop up.
• 15:05
  And I don't want to say this is a maintenance issue because I
• 15:09
  think there's a lot that we have to discuss about the purple
• 15:15
  stuff, but you know. Maybe.
• 15:20
  Maybe we. Consult A.
• 15:21
  Professional. A doctor.
• 15:23
  Even a nice German doctor. God, I don't think I've ever
• 15:27
  wanted to speak to a potentially ex Nazi more than I do at this
• 15:33
  current moment. You and I feel identity about
• 15:37
  this factory, Yes, I believe that you and your friend
• 15:43
  question mark should go do a preliminary sweep inside the
• 15:47
  factory, clear it and I will be out here in case anything comes
• 15:53
  out and I will kill it with my gun.
• 15:57
  God leaving me with Him. Yeah, Rex, as I've been having
• 16:00
  this conversation, there's this factory in front of you.
• 16:04
  It looks real juicy. As these two are having a little
• 16:07
  powwow, Rex is just going to, as I say, you know, pick up his
• 16:12
  shield, throw it on his back, chief his sword, and just Mosey
• 16:16
  on in like nothing's ever happened.
• 16:18
  Nothing has changed. I imagine this is happening like
• 16:21
  fully mid sentence. It's like, wait, you're getting
• 16:25
  paid? I got 3 hats and Oh my God he's
• 16:27
  going in the factory fast. Fast, fast, fast.
• 16:30
  Fast, Yep. Oh also Rex, feel free to clear
• 16:35
  out your Oh and ace everybody clear out their dangers.
• 16:39
  Everybody's cleared. Out nice.
• 16:42
  Yeah, no, Hyperion Ace is just like go, go.
• 16:50
  Inside, you see what I mean? It's a factory.
• 16:55
  It basically melts down these scraps of steel and copper that
• 16:58
  were coming in and melts them down into molds to create these
• 17:02
  arms, limbs and torsos. You see there's still several of
• 17:08
  the like remaining quote UN quote pilots.
• 17:14
  And as you watch, there's these the capsules that you see is the
• 17:18
  the torsos and one of them sort of opens up and then they sort
• 17:22
  of drop one into a capsule and these wires come out and grab on
• 17:28
  to them as they sort of riot and the capsule closes and sort of
• 17:33
  gets welded shut as before it gets put into one of these
• 17:35
  Zeros. Basically, as soon as the Zero's
• 17:38
  done, it releases and charges you guys I'm.
• 17:42
  Just gonna, I'm just gonna punt it.
• 17:47
  I think Ace is gonna get on the radio as he's just like taking
• 17:49
  this in. I imagine there's like a second
• 17:51
  zero that comes out of this production line.
• 17:54
  Ace just like, oh, Jesus. Like he swats it like he's
• 17:56
  swatting a mosquito and he's just like, all right, Rex, can
• 18:02
  you fuck up this production line?
• 18:04
  And I will. Don't fuck up the production
• 18:08
  line. Just turn it off.
• 18:10
  Turn it off. OK, All right.
• 18:14
  New plan. Rex, you cover my 6.
• 18:18
  As you say this Rex is still walking in front of Ace, but
• 18:21
  he's just opened a portal in front of him that's looking
• 18:23
  behind Ace. God, that's fucking terrifying.
• 18:30
  All right, Rex, we need this production line intact.
• 18:33
  You just heard the words from Lieutenant.
• 18:35
  OK, Yeah, I I agree with Cordelia.
• 18:37
  The more we can figure out about these freaky leaky people with
• 18:41
  their purpose substance, the better.
• 18:45
  And I'm going to grab the arm that's grabbing all the the
• 18:47
  people and basically dropping them in and just bend it so it
• 18:50
  can come up anymore. Ace switches to the private
• 18:54
  channel between him and Cordelia and he's just like be a fucking
• 18:57
  God. He's calm that that's worse.
• 19:01
  And then Ace is going to take a look and see what see if there's
• 19:07
  like like some kind of switch or like master power system that he
• 19:13
  can turn off to like stop this without without like destroying
• 19:19
  the whole thing. Yeah, go ahead and roll me
• 19:23
  dispel uncertainties plus no. That's a 5.
• 19:28
  All right, so go ahead and mark off a spotlight.
• 19:34
  I'm so close and on a 5 Rex, there's still these pilots.
• 19:40
  They look real juicy with shadow energy.
• 19:43
  Oh, I'm going to add the all in the cages still.
• 19:47
  I'm just going to stomp the cages then.
• 19:49
  Rex, Rex, what are you doing with those cages?
• 19:52
  Yeah, as you do their, their energy flows out of their body
• 19:55
  and up into the up into the the fallen now.
• 19:58
  Oh shit, I need to change the name.
• 20:00
  Rex yes. You know, that's like, you know,
• 20:05
  that's basically like pure hatred and suffering that you're
• 20:08
  mainlining right now. Maybe.
• 20:10
  Maybe you don't want to do. That well, it it's not pure
• 20:14
  hatred and suffering. It's actually called shadow
• 20:16
  energy, I'll have you know. OK, you know what?
• 20:19
  That doesn't make it sound any better.
• 20:21
  Maybe. Maybe we don't drink the shadow
• 20:23
  energy. Maybe you don't drink the shadow
• 20:26
  energy. Do I even want to know?
• 20:29
  No. Is he talking about the purple
• 20:30
  stuff? Yeah.
• 20:32
  Cordelia It's fine with friends. Friends trust each other.
• 20:37
  She sighs really heavily over the radio, like she leaves it on
• 20:42
  for a long time, like. See, I know you trusted me.
• 20:53
  I'm assuming if it's a factory in the middle of butt fuck
• 20:56
  nowhere, it can't have power lines.
• 20:58
  So I'm assuming it's just got a big generator.
• 21:01
  Yeah, so I'm just going to go outside and unplug the big
• 21:04
  generator. Just like pull it out of the
• 21:07
  ground. Paw it away.
• 21:12
  Yeah. You do that as you shut down
• 21:16
  this factory. Cordelia being outside.
• 21:19
  Oh, I guess you're outside too. You hear the sound that sounds
• 21:23
  like the loudest Thunder you've ever heard in your life, and as
• 21:28
  you look at where the sound came from, you see basically a hole
• 21:32
  beginning to RIP into the world. Cool, cool, cool.
• 21:36
  Cool. And that's where we ended.
• 21:37
  Yep, Yep. Sweet.
• 21:56
  Cutting on my soul, give away the pieces when you pull me
• 22:01
  close, fall into the feeling I'll give all of myself.
• 22:08
  Don't want anyone else, You'll just love to watch me.
• 22:15
  Please RIP my heart, give it a squeeze, RIP my arms.
• 22:18
  Won't let me breathe Nor you'll do it because you like to see.
• 22:24
  I'll train up and run through my face, Drink my teas like it's
• 22:27
  champagne. But I still love what you do to
• 22:29
  me and say what you doing even Saturday, what you doing?
• 22:41
  Even saying yes, there's somebody what you do to me while
• 22:45
  you watch me bleed. No, it's not everybody saying
• 22:48
  yes, there's somebody what you do to me, watch me bleed for his
• 22:55
  birthday for me. You'll just love to watch me
• 23:01
  bleed with my heart, give this squeeze with my arms, only
• 23:05
  breathe. No, you do it 'cause you aren't
• 23:10
  my friend. I swindle and run through my
• 23:11
  bed, drink my tears like it's champagne.
• 23:14
  But I still love what you do to me and say this to somebody want
• 23:21
  you to to me.
