Location: Sub-Level 7 – Reactor Spine
You and Leon sprinted in opposite directions, feet pounding against the floor. Behind you, Grim roared—his eyes locked on Leon.
Leon glanced back, just once. "Go," he shouted. "I'll bring him to the surface!"
You stopped for half a second. "Leon—"
He cut you off, voice hard. "This is my monster. You've got someone else to find."
And then he vanished into the smoke, Grim's twisted body slamming after him with unrelenting speed.

Surface – Police Strike Zone
Leon burst through the collapsed ceiling, gun blazing, radio blaring.
"All units—bring everything! It's Grim! He's coming up!"
The police forces were already forming a perimeter—riot drones, electrified net cannons, mounted pulse weapons.
Then Grim erupted from the ground like a demon from the pit, on fire, bones showing, limbs dragging.
But still moving.
Then all hell broke loose.
Dozens of officers opened fire. Drones swarmed. Netting burst into arcs of power as they tangled his limbs. A rail cannon fired—blasting off part of his chest.
And still—
He laughed.
Leon stood in the center, unloading round after round into Grim's head.
"COME ON!" he shouted. "YOU WANT ME?! TAKE ME!"

Cutaway: Sub-Level 10 – Genesis Core Chamber
You moved quietly now.
No more running.
No more echo of Grim behind you.
But something worse waited.
You passed through a cold, pulsing corridor of black-veined crystal. Genesis energy. Alive. Breathing.
She stood in the center of it all.
Seris.
Her back to you. A long, black cloak. Hair like obsidian silk.
She didn't turn.
But she spoke.
"You left them all to burn. Again."
You stepped closer.
She finally looked over her shoulder.
Eyes like broken glass.
"You remember me," she said softly. "But not the way you should."
You leveled your weapon. "Seris. Where's Ada?"
She smiled.
And whispered—
"She's where I was. Lost. Forgotten. Waiting for you to find her…"
Then everything went white.
