Fuck you all

Draco, Richard...

Two different names, but they seemed to point to the same individual.

This revelation sent Mike's mind reeling.

What was Shadow Nine's true motive behind this arrangement?

What if this wasn't Shadow Nine's doing at all?

There were too many unanswered questions surrounding James, questions that also involved Terenas, Michael...

Michael's dying words had been directed at James.

Who had instructed Michael to deliver those words?

Apollo.

And who had sent Mike to the Ninth Abyss?

Apollo...

This wasn't Shadow Nine's game!

As Mike pieced together the puzzle, the spatial rift began to close, their conversation nearing its end.

"Ace, I need to tell you something important."

Ace approached cautiously, unsure of what Thor was up to.

Mike put his arm around Ace's shoulder, leading him towards the spatial rift.

Then, he slammed his palm into Ace's back.

"Go!"
