This is the second large section of the chronicles, also dubbed Volume 2 and will focus on the climax, as well as concluding their journey.
1. Ground Zero: Five years after the Shadowless Warriors disbanded, the world is plagued by a new biomechanical species, deadly to anyone brave enough to step outside. A group of teenagers and Sector Marines find themselves marooned when their ship crash-lands en route to Altair 13, a Syndicate stronghold. Desperate for safe passage, they turn to the retired Shadowless Warriors, hoping to secure their aid. But the journey is fraught with peril, as a monstrous mechanoid brute wielding a superior weapon hunts them with relentless precision. The loss of a close friend casts a shadow of grief over the group, fracturing their resolve. Meanwhile, the Sector Marines, bound to the Syndicate government, harbor dark secrets, threatening to unravel fragile alliances. In a world where survival hinges on trust, betrayal may be their undoing.
2. Phantom's Awakening: A looming external threat pales in comparison to the danger brewing from within. The Shadowless Warriors uncover a chilling truth—the Sector Marines have brought something sinister back with them. Seeking answers, they find themselves at the door of a mysterious old woman whose motives remain shrouded in secrecy. As her cryptic revelations intertwine with the origins of the enigmatic Mad Doctor and his team, the threads of the past unravel. A peculiar scientist, whose identity is as elusive as their intentions, enters the fold. Their paths converge in a volatile chain reaction, unleashing a chaos that could consume everything.
3. Sentient Wars: In this electrifying penultimate chapter, the Shadowless Warriors find themselves at the center of a war that threatens to annihilate the stranglehold. Forced into an uneasy alliance with the Sector, they must set aside their differences to protect the people caught in the chaos. Yet, as the dust of battle settles, the scientist’s true agenda is revealed—a relentless force far beyond anything they’ve ever faced. Haunted by resurrected echoes of their past, they are propelled toward an all-out confrontation, where man and machine collide in a climactic fight for survival. The stage is set for a final, gripping denouement that will change everything. The enemy is the machine.
4. Final Reckoning: The Shadowless Warriors face their ultimate adversary, the architect behind the apocalyptic event, as long-buried truths come to light. This enemy is more than a physical force; it infiltrates their minds, shadows their every move, and pushes them to the brink of madness. Triumph seems within reach as they return home, but an unsettling unease lingers. Out of the shadows emerges an enemy they could never have foreseen—someone who has orchestrated their journey from the very beginning. With reality unraveling, they are left to question everything: What was real? What was fabricated? Could it all have been an illusion born from their own imaginations?
