"We... won?" Fallen King could barely comprehend what has conspired, the blade of Durandal stained by the blood from two horrid realms. The Ultranaut took a moment to rest, kneeling with the sword still in hand.
"That trial was well worth it after all, to think I would strike the killing blow and both the swarm and the Apocrea." KV-103 looked into the sky above, "I did it, Father, Brother... Friends. This battle is well won in the name of the Machine God, I have no more regrets."
WARNING: UNKNOWN ENERGY SIGNATURE DETECTED
Fallen King rise up once more, Durandal in hand, ready to step toward the light.
((I forgot to remove the Subsumer from the targets list, since it moved north. Correcting this now.))
Both forces hasten their portals!
The Apocrean Harvester uses Apocrean Grasp against Marcellus’s squad!
The Advance Force moves to G20 and attacks the Apocrean Harvester!

Turn Order Roll: Unnecessary!
“What?! You would not dare!”
Matikclocker unleashes the Rolling Thunderbow’s full power! Final Arrow!

Roll: 13. Instacharge!
4 swings -> Apocrean Harvester @ 12 ES -- 10,12,15,7. 2 hits! 8288 damage.
“All of this is an illusion! It is not happening… It cannot be happening!”
KV-103 unleashes Durandal’s full power! Legend Reborn!
The legendary sword wreaths itself in fire as it strikes the Apocrean Harvester! 33600 damage!
“We are... the Apocrea... we are... infinite... undying... this... is only...”
The Apocrean Harvester stumbles and falls, its eldritch form collapsing in on itself! The fell light beneath its hood fades, and the chains that bound the Lost Souls it stole break apart, setting them free.

The death of the Voice of Upheaval disrupted the Apocrea’s hold on the Aeternum for a few moments! Leverage Sequence is an extra 35% closer to completion!
“All right! We can handle this!”
Blake’s Squad holds their position!
“APOCREANS! BEHOLD OUR VICTORY, AND DRAW A LESSON FROM IT!”

“Job well done! Job well done.”
“Look at all that damage! Torchbellow constructs don’t mess around.”
The Darkfang Mender team moves to H21 and heals KV-103 to full health!
“...look! Around the Neofactorem… There is some kind of light.”
Marcellus’s Squad would have attacked the Apocrean Harvester had you not just destroyed it.
“It kinda reminds me of the fountain. Wait, does that mean...”
“Sir! Good to see you’re in one piece, sir!”
“I was more concerned about you. The Swarm here are still numerous.”
Nautilus’s squad regroups at E21 and attacks the Swarm units!
“Five crowns says they won’t be for long!”
“Dammit, there’s too many of them! I can only gun down so many!”
“Put up some Gem Walls! We only gotta last a little longer!”
Regulus’s Squad holds out!
Tovin’s team heals Nautilus’s Squad.
“Whoa! Hey, look at the big robot for a sec, Tovin!”
“What’s going on? It’s some kind of light, but not like the other ones...

Neofactorem Prime’s eyes glow with a bright white light for a moment. Then, all at once, it unleashes a storm of devastating energy beam attacks!
You brace yourself as a beam of light tears past you. But the Aeternum does not hit you, or any of your allies. With perfect precision, Neofactorem Prime’s weapons blast the Swarm apart, reducing the Invasion Node to dust with a single blast! Then they turn on the Apocrea, atomizing the remainder of their force in three seconds. As the Prime opens fire, however, you see its structure start to collapse, and sink to the ground.
~get back!~
~this machine will not last much longer!~
“Advance Force! You heard the Sleeper. Stay clear of the Aeternum!”
The Aeternum slowly falls to the ground; the ground reverberates beneath your feet as you back away, and the sound of splintering metal echoes throughout the blasted Clockwork floor, interrupted by the piercing shatter as its reinforced glass eyes break apart from the strain. It’s not done firing, however- it unleashes a storm of long-range plasma blasts that sail toward the Core...
--
“Advance Force!” Palmarius shouts over comms, “Look! A storm of light is falling upon the enemy!”
“What? Are any of our forces being hit?”
“No!” Palmarius says, “It is only striking the Void creatures that were multiplying in Zallinock’s lab. Look at that! One just landed that slew a Void Gremlin without harming any of the Gremlins surrounding it.”
“Our best ballistics specialists couldn’t match that kind of precision.” Adjutant says, “I can see why the Swarm and the Apocrea wanted the Aeternum so much...”
--
No longer able to defy physics as the other Neofactorem units, the Aeternum’s structure begins to collapse into a mound of scrap metal and broken plateglass.
"Victory is ours." Nautilus says, "We have done the impossible... Victory is ours, Machinauts!"
"I can't believe it... I'm still breathing!" Vein, the Geonid scout serving under Regulus, breathes a sigh of relief.
Blake and Mary share an exhausted high-five in the background, while Pholy shouts a rousing cheer. "Yeah! YEAAAAAH! WHOOOOOOOO!"
"WAHAHAHAHAAAAA!" Galvaron roars, "YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN, MACHINAUTS! THE THREAT IS NO MORE!"
"At last..." Marcellus drops his lance, falling to his knees from exhaustion. "For once, we may have won a measure of peace."
"Wait till the King hears about this one." The leader of the Darkfang Mender squad says, "Maybe we'll get a promotion!"
"Hey!" Tovin points toward the top of the Aeternum's remains. "Hey, guys! Look up there, at the top!"
As the machine falls to pieces, a hole opens in the top of the structure, and- accompanied by the escape of steam- a glowing light emerges from within...

Neofactorem Prime is destroyed, along with all of the Swarm and Apocrean entities in this region!
