Meanwhile, in the Arena, Alpha and Inferno are still fighting.

'Razer v2 is losing the battle. Inferno is simply far too agile for it to hit many shots, coupled with the one relatively small weak spot that is present at any given time. Alpha, too, is unable to attack the weak spot most of the time.'

 How did you even survive the destruction of the Abomination Factory!?

 You know already, don't you? I had escaped from Earth before its destruction, to put an end to what remained of your project.

'The battle continues until Inferno manages to finally break through Razer v2's main armor. A single beam laser aimed at the newly generated weak point tears through the main circuitry, disabling critical functions and causing Razer v2 to malfunction.'

Sensing this, Razer v2 begins its self-destruct process, intending to take Inferno with it.

 You... You know what? Regardless of whether you have won, you will die here. Nobody is coming to save you.

 Face it, Alpha. It's over. All your machines have been destroyed. The Abomination Factory has been wiped off the map. I don't care if I get destroyed because of it, because I have put a stop to your evil plans.

 ...Enough of this. Goodbye.

Alpha teleports away, leaving Inferno in the arena with the self-destructing Razer v2.

 ...It is done.

 Alpha's project has been destroyed, and so will the last remnants of it. The Cataclysm Machine will fall soon.

 WARNING: Self-destructing in T minus 10 seconds.

<span style="color:black;text-shadow:0px 0px 1px black, 1px 1px 1px orange, 1px 1px 1px red"><Inferno> ...I believe in you, heroes.

Razer v2 explodes, completely incinerating everything around it and destroying Inferno.

Alpha is now forced to escape from Furnace before it blows up.

'The Royal Cargo ship he arrived on earlier was waiting in the same hangar bay that Alpha had been dropped off in. All he had to do was to follow the hole he had made with Razer v2, and then he could escape. It seemed that simple up until Alpha boarded the ship.'

<span style="color:purple;text-shadow:0px 0px 1px purple, 1px 1px 1px black, 1px 1px 1px black"><Alpha> Now! Get us out of here!

<span style="color:purple;text-shadow:0px 0px 1px purple, 1px 1px 1px orange, 1px 1px 1px orange"><Royal Cargo AI> Affirmative. Setting course for nearest Royal Imperial space.

'Of course, however, his escape wasn't that easy. Despite the ship cloaking the moment Alpha was on board, some of the Alliance ships had detected it and were now blocking its escape with interdictors. Even worse, Omega had returned with an upgraded Project ONE fleet, and was more than willing to shoot him down.'

<span style="color:purple;text-shadow:0px 0px 1px purple, 1px 1px 1px orange, 1px 1px 1px orange"><Royal Cargo AI> Warning. Several hostile contacts identified.

<span style="color:purple;text-shadow:0px 0px 1px purple, 1px 1px 1px black, 1px 1px 1px black"><Alpha> WHAT!?

<span style="color:orange;text-shadow:0px 0px 1px orange, 1px 1px 1px black, 1px 1px 1px black"><Omega> Didn't expect me to come back, did you?

<span style="color:purple;text-shadow:0px 0px 1px purple, 1px 1px 1px black, 1px 1px 1px black"><Alpha> ...No...

'Needless to say, the battle did not last very long. Within minutes, Omega's fleet had disabled Alpha's ship, and they watched as it flew helplessly into a nearby planet. Alpha had been defeated...'

...Or so they thought.
