Everyone: "Anti-Aegis?"

The figure is moving erratically like a glitch.

Anti-Aegis: "We are both Aegis..."

It changes into a figure more closely resembling Aegis.

Kyle: "At least the message Walker was accurate..."

The figure changes to look more like a 12 year old.

Anti-Aegis: "And Austin."

The figure returns to its original state.

Edo: "Are you fucking kidding me?!"

Tori: "We were certain we killed you Austin!"

William: "So this is what happened after that green light!"

Walker is watching this unfold by using the spectator system.

Walker: "Aegis is now that thing?!"

An idea sparks in Walker's mind.

Walker: "I know a way I can help!"

Walker begins typing away.

Anti-Aegis: "You all have caused us pain and sorrow."

Michael jumps up when his flames turn purple.

Michael: "That's what I went through, so it's my specialty!"

Anti-Aegis pulls out a blade and stabs right through Michael.

Michael: "(coughing blood) What?!"

Anti-Aegis tosses him to the side.

Andrea: "Michael!"

Andrea quickly uses a healing item to restore Micheal to anything above one.

Zack: "You bastard!"

Zack attempts to do it as well.

Anti-Aegis: "Didn't you realize how futile it is?"

The same thing happens to Zack.

Tori: "No Zack!"

The process repeats.

Anti-Aegis: "If we could feel, we would feel enjoyment."

Emily: "You!"

Isabel: "You're completely inhuman!"

Anti-Aegis: "Aren't you all fans?"

Cole: "More like enemies you... thing!"

Anti-Aegis: "Quite rude Cole."

William: "We don't give a shit about that!"

Risa exits another daydream.

Risa: "This feels just like when the main characters are put up against an enemy way out of their league!"

Anthony: "Is there a time where you don't think about anime and manga?"

Risa: "Nope."

Serena is still staring at William.

Serena: "William Faire..."

Isabel: "We can't take her on like this!"

Asaka: "No joke!"

Anti-Aegis: "So there are 16? Shining Star has one more member than before."

Risa: "We will stop you Anti-Aegis! I may have no history with either of your halves, but I can't allow you to prevail in whatever you're planning!"

Walker is still typing.

Walker: "(cocky) Good thing that they're code! I can incorporate their merge into the ID technology, but what're Tomorrow's Knights Players doing in Pixel Reality?"

Anti-Aegis: "Big words from a weakling like you, but I have a plan to make this game a bit more interesting."

The ground begins to shake.

Roy: "What's going on?!"

Anti-Aegis: "The merge between Pixel Reality and Tomorrow's Knights!"

Everyone: "Wait what?!"

The area gets beyond bright.

Anti-Aegis: "Until the end of your break is the time limit. Try to hold a candle to us next time."

Everyone is about to be logged out.

Walker: "The Bio-Link system is finished!"

As they're being logged out, a card swipe slot opens itself on the ID Gloves.

Shining Star: "What?"

Everyone, including The Knights of Hope wake up in the scanning room in PR HQ...
