In 1981, demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren document the exorcism of 8-year-old David Glatzel, attended by his family, his sister Debbie, her boyfriend Arne Johnson, and Father Gordon in Brookfield, Connecticut. During the exorcism, Arne invites the demon to enter his body instead of David's. Ed witnesses the demon transport itself from David's body to Arne's while he suffers from a heart attack and is taken to a hospital in an unconscious state.
The following month, Ed wakes up at the hospital and reveals to Lorraine that he witnessed the demon enter Arne's body. She sends the police to the Glatzel household, warning them that a tragedy will occur there. Arne and Debbie return to their apartment located above a kennel where Debbie works. After feeling unwell, Arne murders his landlord, Bruno Sauls, by stabbing him 22 times due to his demonic possession. With the support of the Warrens, his case becomes the first American murder trial to claim demonic possession as a defense, resulting in the beginning of an investigation into David's original possession. The Warrens later discover a satanic curse passed on through a witch's totem and meet with Kastner, a former priest who previously dealt with the Disciples of the Ram cult. He tells them that an occultist had intentionally left the totem, resulting in the creation of a curse on the Glatzels, causing the possession of David.
The Warrens travel to Danvers, Massachusetts, to investigate the death of Katie Lincoln, who was also stabbed 22 times. Detectives had found a totem at the home of Katie's friend Jessica, who is missing. Lorraine initiates a vision to recreate the murder and discovers that Jessica had stabbed Katie while possessed before jumping to her death off of a cliff, which allows detectives to recover her body. The Warrens travel to the funeral home where her body rests, and Lorraine touches the corpse's hand to help find the location of the occultist. Lorraine, in a vision, witnesses the occultist attempting to have Arne kill himself but stops her just in time. Lorraine is threatened by the occultist and she tells Ed that the connection works both ways.
The Warrens return to their house in Connecticut to investigate further. Drew reveals that he has found a book of Stregherian witchcraft which states that for the curse to be lifted, the altar used by the occultist must be destroyed. Ed is affected by the curse, a totem being discovered in a vase of flowers delivered to the house, but is stopped by Drew when attacking Lorraine. When they realize Katie attended nearby Fairfield University, they begin to assume the occultist is operating in the area. Lorraine returns to Kastner for help, and he reveals that he had secretly raised a daughter, Isla, in violation of the requirement of clerical celibacy in the Catholic Church. As he researched the occult, Isla grew fascinated in it, later becoming the occultist. Kastner tells Lorraine that Isla's altar must be in the tunnels underneath the house, leading her into them before Isla finds and kills him. Ed soon arrives and finds his way into the tunnels through a locked drain hole with a sledgehammer. He is briefly bewitched by Isla and attempts to kill Lorraine, but she forces him to recall the time they first met, reminding him of their love. Ed regains his senses and destroys the altar, saving himself, Lorraine and Arne. Isla arrives at her broken altar, only to be killed by the demon she had summoned after failing to complete the curse.
Ed places the cup from the altar in the artifact room, along with the Valak painting and the Annabelle doll. Arne is convicted of manslaughter but ends up serving a sentence of only five years, marrying Debbie while in prison. Ed shows Lorraine a gazebo like the one in which they first kissed.

On the fictional exoplanet of Safara, humans are second-class citizens, ruled over by a humanoid native species: the tall, tattooed Sepharon. The novels are written in first person, and switch back and forth between the perspectives of Kora and Eros. Kora is a young Sepharon, and the first female ruler of her province of Elja. Eros is a young half-human, half-Sepharon soldier who has grown up with nomadic "redblood" humans in a world where "half-breeds" like him are generally killed at birth.
After much of Eros's family and camp is killed in a Sepharon raid, Eros is captured and becomes Kora's personal servant and bodyguard. Even though Kora ordered the raid, the two find themselves developing feelings for each other, and Kora becomes increasingly sympathetic to the humans' cause.
Kora and Eros must contend with a coup by Kora's more militant brother Dima, who frames Kora for attempted murder and forces them to flee the province. They go beyond the red sands of their native region to the white-sanded capital city of Asheron. Kora's and Eros's feelings intensify, but Kora dithers on whether she wants a relationship with Eros, which leaves Eros feeling heartbroken.
Kora and Eros learn that Eros is actually the descendant of the previous Sira (the ruler of the planet), and that Eros is the rightful heir to the throne. They also learn that Roma, the current Sira, intends to wipe out all of humanity in a genocidal nanite attack. With the help of Roma's good-natured brother Serek, they are able to thwart Roma's plan and disable the world's nanites, but not before many humans die. In a climactic fight, Roma winds up in a permanent coma and Serek receives a fatal blow. In his dying moments, Serek announces to the world that Eros is heir to the throne.
An emergency council is called. Former rulers from all over the planet meet in the capital city of Asheron, to determine whether a half-human can be permitted to become the next Sira. A DNA test confirms that Eros is the son of former Sira Asha, and Eros also has the golden eyes that mark the royal line. But Lejv, a cousin of Asha's, also vies for the position. Eros fears if the council does not recognize him as Sira, he will be executed, along with his blind and orphaned human nephew Mal, whom Eros has been looking after. Eros finds an ally in Deimos, a charismatic gay Sepharon bounty hunter and member of a royal family, and the two develop a flirtatious relationship.
Kora, meanwhile, learns that her region is in chaos and that her people are revolting against her draconian brother. She returns to Elja, her homeland, and convinces her brother to give power back to her, and forgives him for the coup that deposed her. To appease the people, she asks them to elect a populist representative who will work with her, and they pick a man named Uljen.
Back at the capital, it is determined that Eros and Lejv must fight to the death for the role of Sira. Before the fight, Eros is jumped by anonymous attackers, who break his ribs and send him into a starry, black unconsciousness. He survives, and the council determines that the fight will continue, even though Eros is injured. Eros is ultimately able to subdue Lejv, but decides not to finish him with a killing blow. As Eros broke the rules of the match, the council seems poised to rule that Lejv should become the next Sira. But Eros finds a hidden message in a royal ring from the former Sira Asha, and in the message, Asha confirms that he wanted Eros to be the next-in-line. This is enough to sway the council to grudgingly grant Eros the title.
Eros now rules the planet, and he must contend with the Remnant: a violent group of human activists led by Eros's ruthless biological mother Rani. As one of his first acts as Sira, Eros makes it illegal to enslave humans. But Rani and the Remnant demand more: they want the monarchy abolished and a democratic system put in place.
Meanwhile, Deimos has become both Eros's top advisor and his boyfriend. As Eros has little sexual experience, and none with other men, the two take the relationship slowly. When Deimos catches an embarrassed Eros looking at gay pornography for research, the two become sexual with each other for the first time.
In her home territory of Ejos, Kora also develops a sexual relationship with her advisor Uljen. Meanwhile, Kora's twin brother Dima is tried for his various crimes and sentenced to death. Kora, who still loves her brother, is devastated. When she learns that Dima is escaping the city with the help of his boyfriend and former advisor Jarek, she chooses not to intervene.
In the capital city, the Remnant unleash a biological weapon: many Sepharon are infected with a deadly virus that humans (and half-humans like Eros) are immune to. The Remnant also kidnaps Eros's nephew Mal. Eros, Deimos, and a team of bodyguards are able to track down Mal and rescue him, and a team of Asheron scientists are able to develop a cure for the virus. Eros meets with Rani and negotiates a peace: he doesn't agree to abolish the monarchy, but does agree to a formation of a democratic human advisory council.
The future for humans seems brighter, but many humans still feel unwelcome on the planet, and, at Mal's suggestion, Eros offers them an option: he has his team of scientists restore the massive, ancient spaceship that humans arrived on the planet on many generations ago. Eros announces that humans who want to can board the ship and return to earth. To Eros's surprise, Mal decides he wants to join the expedition. Eros and Deimos hold hands and watch as the spaceship departs: a rising gold streak in the sky.

It has been nearly two hundred years since the beginning of the rebellion, when a small but capable band rose up against the forces of the oppressive Imperium regime. Their early battles went extremely well: they had caught the Imperium forces completely off-guard, and managed to wrest control of several strategically valuable planets. The Wraith technology, which they had stolen from the Imperium, had served them above all expectations. The rebel forces, now led by General Karella Ashe, have managed to take over a large area of Imperium space, and have been forcing the Imperium to fall back from their positions. A displaced alien race, the Xaja (Zai-ya), first encountered during the course of the war in a nearby sector of space, have thrown their limited but useful resources behind the Rebel factions. Although the war is far from settled, up to now things have fared well for the rebels.
Despite being extremely short on resources, the Xaja technology is significantly advanced compared to that currently employed by either the rebels or the Imperium. Although the rebels are relieved to have the support, they remain understandably wary of the newcomers: the Xaja are a closed, inexpressive race, and their primary motivations are not entirely understood by humans.
With defeat imminent, Emperor Caston, the Imperium leader, has just upped the ante in the war, with the surprise introduction of a new weapon of mass destruction. This weapon was recently unleashed on a rebel-held planet in the Lien system - it left no trace of life on the planet.
The player character's record within the Rebel hierarchy now places them in an invaluable position: they will command the Wraith - the most powerful weapon in the rebel arsenal - and their mission will be to prevent the Imperium from using their "planet-killing" weapon again.

The narrator explains that after "V"'s departure from France he married a much younger woman.

''Nava-sahasanka-charita'' is divided into 18 cantos, and centers around Sindhuraja's marriage to princess Shashiprabha. The title of the poem literally means the biography (''charita'') of the new (''nava'') Sahasanka. Vikramaditya, a famous legendary king, was also known as Sahasanka ("having the mark of boldness"). His capital Ujjain happened to be located in what had become the Paramara kingdom by Padmgaupta's time.
One day, king Sindhuraja (alias Nava-Sahasanka) and his companions go on a hunting expedition in the Vindhya Range. In Canto 2, after shooting various animals with arrows, he tries to hunt a deer. During the chase, he dismounts from his horse, and follows the deer into the forest. He hits the deer with an arrow marked with his own name (''Nava-Sahasanka''), but the arrow does not cause any serious injury to the deer. The king notices a gold chain around the deer's neck, and suspects that there is something supernatural about it. After the animal disappears into the forest, Sindhuraja's minister Ramangada (alias Yahsobhata) advises the king to avoid the hot sun at the noon, and get some rest. Sindhuraja then bathes in a nearby lake, and takes a short nap. After waking up, he wanders around searching for the deer, but is unable to find the animal. At night, he sleeps on a bed of shoots made by Ramangada.
In Canto 3, the next morning, Sindhuraja goes into the forest searching for the deer, accompanied by Ramangada. The men follow a track marked by blood drops, and see goose flying with a pearl necklace in its beak. Ramangada remarks that the necklace probably belonged to one of the daughters of demons, gods, and Nagas, who amused themselves in the Vindhyas. On Ramangada's advice, Sindhuraja readies to shoot the bird with an arrow, but just then the bird drops the necklace on the shore of a lake, in order to pick up a lotus stalk. Ramangada brings the necklace to the king, who notes the female name "Shashi-prabha" written on it, and wears it.
In Canto 4, Sindhuraja feels that he has fallen in love with the unknown woman Shashiprabha. Sometime later, he sees a beautiful woman, who turns out to be Patala, a daughter of the Naga Hema and a companion of Shashi-prabha. In Canto 5, Patala tells him that Shashiprabha is a Nāga princess, who is more beautiful than goddesses and nymphs, and her father Shankha-pala rules from the kingdom's capital Bhogavati. Patala also tells Sindhuraja that the deer shot by him belonged to Shashiprabha, and the princess had fallen in love with him after seeing the name "Nava-Sahasanka" on the arrow. Furthermore, the necklace found by Sindhuraja was taken from the princess by a wild goose. Patala takes the necklace and departs to bring Sindhuraja's golden arrow to him.
In Canto 6, Shashiprabha's companion Malayavati tells her that Nava-Sahasanka is a handsome and skilled king of Avanti, and would make an ideal husband for her. In Canto 7, Shashiprabha and Sindhuraja meet at the banks of the Narmada River, and are evidently in love with each other. Suddenly, a severe thunderstorm emerges, and Shashiprabha clings to Sindhuraja out of fear.
In Canto 8, Sindhuraja's meeting with Shashiprabha ends abruptly, when a voice instructs the princess to return to her home in the underworld (patala). As she departs, Sindhuraja follows her by jumping into the river, looking for an entrance to the underworld, and Ramangada follows him. On the way to the underworld, he overcomes several obstacles: these include a lion and an elephant who vanish when he draws his bow; and a river that turns anyone who touches it into a stone - Sindhuraja jumps over it using a bamboo.
Sindhuraja ultimately reaches a golden palace city, where a caged parrot informs him that the river goddess Naramada will welcome him as a guest. In Canto 9, the goddess informs Sindhuraja that when Shashiprabha was born, the deities told her father - the Naga king - that she would marry the best of men (''purushottama''), and that she would bring ruin to the Naga enemy Vajrankusha. Consequently, the Naga king had declared that he would marry Shashiprabha to the person who brought him the golden lotus that grew in the pool of the demon (''asura'') king Vajrankusha. The goddess urges Sindhuraja to do this, telling him that he was a partial incarnation of the god Vishnu, and that the sage Vanku would guide him to Vajrankusha's capital Ratnavati.
In Canto 10, Ramangada urges Sindhuraja to invade Vajrankusha's kingdom, assuring him that the Naga army would support him, just like the Vanara army had supported Rama. As Sindhuraja agrees, the parrot introduces himself as Ratnachuda, a Naga boy who had been transformed into a parrot because of a curse by a pupil of sage Kanva. The sage had told him that the curse will be over when he takes a message from Nava-Sahasanka to Shashiprabha. Accordingly, Sindhuraja told the parrot to inform the queen that he had followed her into the Naga world, and would enter her city after getting the golden lotus.
In Canto 11, following Narmada's directions, Sindhuraja comes to the hermitage of sage Vanku. Based on the king's appearance, the sage infers that he was a chakravartin (universal emperor), and welcomes him. When Vanku asks about the king's dynasty, Ramangada narrates the Agnikula legend, according to which the progenitor of the Paramara dynasty originated from a sacrificial fire set up by the sage Vasishtha. Ramangada then names Sindhuraja's predecessors, including Upendra, Vakpati-raja I, Vairisimha, Sindhuraja's father Siyaka, and Sindhuraja's elder brother Vakpati-raja II. The minister then introduces Sindhuraja alias Nava-Sahasanka as the king of Ujjayini, the city of Shiva. He describes the king as a friend of poets, and as someone in whom Sarasvati (the goddess of learning) resided after the legendary kings Vikramaditya and Satavahana had died.
Ramangada then tells Vanku about Sindhuraja's expedition, gifts him a jeweled bracelet, and asks him for guidance. The sage praises the king, predicts success for him in the expedition, and invites him to rest at the hermitage. In Canto 12, Sindhuraja rests at the hermitage, dreaming of Shashiprabha in his sleep. After waking up, as he talks to the sage, a monkey comes to him, and gives him a pomegranate made of jewels. As soon as the king accepts the gift, the monkey turns into a man. The man introduces himself as Shashikhanda, a son of the vidyadhara (wizard) king Sikhandaketu. Shashikhanda explains that a thousand years ago, he tried to abduct a girl from a sage's hermitage, because of which the sage cursed him to become a monkey. The sage had told him that his curse will end when the son of king Siyaka took an ornament from him. Shashikhanda then summons his vidyadhara army to help Sindhuraja.
In Canto 13, with the blessings of sage Vanku, Sindhuraja's forces begin the march to Vajrankusha's capital. In Canto 14, with the help of the vidyadhara magical spell, Sindhuraja's chariot flies in air. The vidyadharas vimanas (flying chariots) accompanying him have women who pick up flowers from the trees during the low flight. The army encamps at near the river Ganga to allow the women to take rest. Canto 15 is dedicated to describing the women's bathing in the river, liquor-drinking, and love-making.
In Canto 16, Patala arrives with a message from Malayavati, stating that Shashi-prabha loves the king, and wants him to come back soon. Sindhuraja resumes his march, and is joined by Ratnachuda. The brilliant jewel on Ratnachuda's head lights up the army's way in the darkness. As Ratnavati approaches, Sindhuraja attempts to get the golden lotus using peaceful means. He sends Ramangada as an envoy to Vajrankusha, asking the demon king to hand over the golden lotus to enable Sindhuraja to marry Shashiprabha, and offering his friendship in return. Vajrankusha derisively rejects the offer, stating that a beautiful woman like Shashiprabha was not suitable for mere humans. Ramangada then explains that Sindhuraja was not merely a human: he was an incarnation of Vishnu, and will end up taking Vajrankusha's head along with the lotus.
Canto 17 describes Sindhuraja's siege of Ratnavati. Ramangada beheads Vajrankusha's son with a discus (''chakra''), and Sindhuraja beheads Vajrankusha with an arrow. Sindhuraja is supported by Shashikhanda who fights beside him, and Ratnachuda who lights up the dark underworld with his jewel. After emerging victorious, Sindhuraja grants protection to the residents of Ratnavati, and appoints Ratnachuda as the ruler of Vajrankusha's former kingdom.
In Canto 18, Sindhuraja enters Bhogavati, as the local women admire him, while Ramangada carries the golden lotus taken from Ratnavati. On the way to Shankhapala's palace, he stops at a temple of the god Hatakeshvara (an aspect of Shiva) to sing a hymn. As he enters the palace, he sees Shashiprabha ready for the wedding ceremony. When he puts the golden lotus on Shashiprabha's ear at Malayavati's request, the deer turns into a man. The man explains that he used to be a commander of the guard (''pratihara-pala'') of Sindhuraja's father Siyaka alias Harsha, and had turned into a deer because of a curse by the sage Kanva.
Sindhraja and Shashiprabha get married. Shankhapala gives Sindhuraja a crystal linga created by the artisan god Tvastar, and featuring Shiva as Ardhanarishvara. Sindhuraja then visits the Shiva temple at Ujjayini, accompanied by Shashiprabha and Ramangada. He then goes to Dhara, which is described as his "family capital", and installs the linga there. He sends Shashikhanda and Ratnachuda to their respective countries, and himself sits on the imperial throne with Shashiprabha by his side.
Hard-riding ranch owner Dick Taylor hunts for a band of cattle rustlers in the Arizona ranch country.
As described in a film magazine, Windy Watkins (Hoxie), noted prevaricator, tells the men of the Bar Nothing Ranch a series of thrilling adventures, and a stranger becomes interested. So Windy proceeds to tell him how he and Phil Hollis (Foster) while in Alaska had trouble with a pair of men who had known Phil in Montana. Phil was killed, Windy tells the stranger, and Windy was accused. He escaped and assumed the charge of the ranch of Eunice Hollis (Clayton), which is under threat of cattle rustlers, but was forced to leave when word of the murder accusation bobs up. Windy completes the story, and then the stranger surprises them by saying that Windy told the truth and that he was a federal marshal come to arrest the storyteller. A chase ensues, and the men grapple midstream and then carried through a subterranean passage until they reach the hiding place of Bill Spray (Jordan) and his cattle rustlers. The marshal finds in Spray the real murderer when Windy makes him confess. His innocence and veracity established, Windy returns to Eunice.

Ex-soldier, Tomaz, unearths an amulet at an outpost in the woods. It becomes apparent that this is where he was stationed in his former country, which he eventually escaped to make it to London. Tomaz periodically has flashbacks to this time and Mirian, a woman who took shelter with him after he spared her life when he caught her trying to pass the border.
In London Tomaz works as a day laborer while sleeping in a derelict building with other refugees. When the building is set on fire, Tomaz is forced to flee suddenly in the night. Unable to breathe from the smoke, he collapses in an alley way and is discovered by Sister Claire, a nun. After visiting him in the hospital she suggests a better way of life for him and takes him to a house, explaining that a woman living there, Magda, needs help with the house upkeep as she cares for her dying mother. As she walks away, she is seen throwing Tomaz's money (which he thought lost) into the sewer.
Magda makes it clear she doesn't want Tomaz there and he too is reluctant to stay. However the two grow accustomed to one another and Tomaz tries to perform repairs. When trying to fix the water pipes Tomaz discovers a live bat clogging the toilet. He kills it, but not before it bites him.
Tomaz eventually sees Magda's mother, whom she keeps imprisoned in the attic. Though she is extremely ill she attacks Magda in front of Tomaz and he becomes protective of her. He takes her out on the town, fulfilling her wish to go out dancing all night if she was free.
Later on, returning home Magda and Tomaz see her mother giving birth to one of the bat like creatures he sees on the toilet. Tomaz goes to consult Sister Claire, and she tells him that the mother is a demon and that she and Magda have been charged with keeping it contained for years. Tomaz returns to the house, determined to kill the demon and save Magda. However after stabbing the demon in the throat it bites and attacks Tomaz only to be stopped by Magda.
Tomaz then flashes back to his time with Miriam. Developing a crush on her he urges her to stay with him until the end of the war and protects her from fellow soldiers. However after discovering her trying to leave in an attempt to reunite with her daughter, he hunts her down and rapes her.
Awakening in the house, Tomaz, determined to protect Magda, returns and attacks the demon. Once he beheads it he realizes that the host body was actually that of the previous occupant of the house, a man who murdered his wife with the intent to marry one of his own children. Sister Claire explains that he is now the new host and asks him who he wants to be his guardian. He demands that Magda watch over him. Later, Tomaz is sick. As his stomach begins to move, he too gives birth to one of the creatures.
Later, Magda drives up to a convenience store where Miriam is working the counter. After making sure that Miriam is all right she drives off and throws some food in the back where Tomaz is hiding under a blanket.

''Modern Warfare'' takes place in modern time, with the campaign occurring over the course of several days in late 2019, and the Special Ops and multiplayer modes continuing the story into 2020. The campaign story centers around a rising conflict between Russia and the fictional Urzikstan, also involving Western military forces. Players assume the roles of three protagonists: British SAS Sergeant Kyle "Gaz" Garrick (Elliot Knight), former U.S. Army CAG operator turned CIA SAC/SOG officer ‘Alex’ (Chad Michael Collins) and Urzikstani rebel leader Farah Karim (Claudia Doumit). The three protagonists work together, alongside SAS Captain John Price (Barry Sloane) and CIA Station Chief Kate Laswell (Rya Kihlstedt). Other allies include U.S. Marine Corps General Lyons (Debra Wilson), Colonel Norris (Nick Boraine), and Demon Dogs leader Sergeant Marcus Griggs (LaMonica Garrett, later replaced by Demetrius Grosse); Farah's older brother Hadir Karim (Aidan Bristow); "Nikolai" (Stefan Kapičić), head of a Russian PMC acquainted with Price; and Yegor Novak (Alex Feldman), a Ukrainian fixer working for Nikolai. The allied forces are opposed by the Al-Qatala, a terrorist organization based in Urzikstan led by Omar "The Wolf" Sulaman (Joel Swetow) and his right-hand man Jamal "The Butcher" Rahar (Nick E. Tarabay), as well as General Roman Barkov (Konstantin Lavysh), commander of a rogue Russian faction who treats Farah's rebel forces and the Al-Qatala equally as criminals.
The Special Ops and Multiplayer seasonal story takes place after the events of the campaign, with players taking on the roles of various international operatives working for a joint alliance named "the Armistice". The operators are divided into two major factions: Coalition (comprising Western forces) and Allegiance (comprising Eastern forces). The Armistice's leaders are Captain Price, Laswell, General Lyons, and FSB Sergeant Kamarov (Gene Farber). Throughout the story, the operators come into conflict with the Al-Qatala, now under new leadership of Khaled Al-Asad, working together with Russian terrorist and arms dealer Victor Zakhaev (Dimitry Rozental). The seasonal story also introduces several new allies in both Coalition and Allegiance factions, including former CIA agent Mara (Carla Tassara), Spetsnaz operative Nikto (Gideon Emery), Task Force 141 recruits Simon "Ghost" Riley (Jeff Leach) and John "Soap" MacTavish (Neil Ellice), and Shadow Company mercenaries Marcus "Lerch" Ortega (Fred Tatasciore) and Rozlin "Roze" Helms (Jamie Gray Hyder).
In 2019, during a covert operation in Verdansk, Kastovia to recover shipments of dangerous chemical gas headed for Urzikstan, CIA SAC/SOG officer ‘Alex’ is intercepted by unknown hostiles who kill the Raiders accompanying him, and escape with the gas. Alex's handler, CIA Station Chief Kate Laswell, requests the assistance of British SAS Captain John Price in recovering the chemicals and de-escalating the situation with Russia. Twenty-four hours later, a group of suicide bombers, affiliated with the terrorist organization Al-Qatala, attack Piccadilly Circus in London. SAS Sergeant Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, who has been following the suspected terrorists with a unit of MPS CTSFO officers, is dispatched to contain the situation with the assistance of Price and local police forces. Afterwards, Alex is sent to Urzikstan to meet up with rebel leader Farah Karim. She agrees to join forces in tracking down the chemicals, in exchange for his aid in overthrowing Russian forces led by General Roman Barkov.
SAS forces led by Price and Garrick raid an Al-Qatala-occupied townhouse in London, where they learn the location of their leader, Omar "The Wolf" Sulaman. Alex, accompanied by Sergeant Marcus Griggs and the Demon Dogs, move on Ramaza Hospital in Urzikstan and capture the Wolf. Later, the Wolf's right-hand man, Jamal "The Butcher" Rahar, launches an attack on the United States Embassy in Urzikstan in an attempt to free the Wolf. Price, Garrick, Alex, and Farah work together to secure the Wolf, but ultimately fail. Farah later comes up with a plan to ambush the Wolf's men in the "Highway of Death" in Urzikstan. The plan fails when Barkov's men attack both the rebel forces and Al-Qatala militants. Farah's brother and second in command, Hadir, is revealed to be the thief who stole the chemical shipment; in an attempt to drive off the hostile forces, Hadir sets off the chemicals in the area, killing all of Barkov's men and Al-Qatala forces, with Farah and Alex narrowly escaping death.
In 1999, Farah and Hadir, were left orphaned during Barkov's invasion. The two attempted to escape the country, but were captured by Barkov himself and imprisoned for the next ten years. While in captivity, Farah rose to the rank of Commander of the rebel forces, and eventually executed a breakout from Barkov's prison camp with the help of a young Price. Back in the present day, Hadir has seemingly joined forces with Al-Qatala, forcing Farah and Price's team to take action. They infiltrate the Wolf's hidden base and manage to kill him, though fail to locate Hadir. With the gas still at large, the U.S. government declares Farah a terrorist threat. Disgusted with his government, Alex stays in Urzikstan to fight as part of Farah's army.
Following intel on a possible attack in Russia orchestrated by Hadir, Price and Garrick head to St. Petersburg and meet up with one of Price's old contacts, Nikolai. They manage to intercept an Al-Qatala meeting and apprehend the Butcher. As the Butcher refuses to give in to interrogation, Price resorts to using his wife and son, forcing him to comply. Garrick is given the choice to either execute the Butcher or let him live. They learn that Hadir plans to attack Barkov at his estate in Baurci, Moldova, and proceed to intercept him. At the estate, the two learn from Hadir of the location of Barkov's gas factory in Borjomi, Georgia, and narrowly escape. However, Laswell arrives, informing Price that Russia demands Hadir be handed over to them. Price begrudgingly complies, on the condition that they keep the intel on the gas factory. Price and Garrick meet up with Farah and Alex at Urzikstan, then plan their attack on the factory. With assistance from Laswell, the team advances on the factory, and attempts to use explosives provided by Nikolai to demolish the facility. However, the detonator is damaged in the fight, and Alex volunteers to set up the explosives manually, seemingly sacrificing his own life. As Barkov attempts to escape the facility by helicopter, Farah ambushes and kills him. Farah's forces and Price's team evacuate as the factory is destroyed.
With Barkov dead and disowned by Russia, Price meets with Laswell to discuss the creation of Task Force 141 in preparation against the Russian terrorist Victor Zakhaev. Price reviews the files of potential recruits with Laswell: Garrick, John "Soap" MacTavish, and Simon "Ghost" Riley.
Following the death of the Wolf, Al-Qatala re-emerges with a new leader, who poses a dangerous threat to Russian forces in Verdansk. Laswell, alongside Sergeant Kamarov of the FSB, authorizes a joint operation, enlisting many of the world's best operators in fighting against the new unidentified threat. The joint faction, named the Armistice, takes on various Al-Qatala operations in Verdansk, taking out several key figures within the organization: Almalik, the Landlord; "El Traficanté", the Smuggler; and AQ's head of financial operations, the Banker. Following a hostage rescue operation, the Armistice learns that Al-Qatala has been dealing in arms trade with Zakhaev, who is revealed to have been the benefactor behind Al-Qatala's recent resurgence, and their new leader is identified as Khaled Al-Asad.
Following the initial operations in Verdansk, the Armistice continues to dispatch agents on various missions against Al-Qatala forces. The alliance between Allegiance and Coalition factions begins to fracture when operators from both sides come into conflict while intercepting an Al-Qatala chemical shipment in Urzikstan. Sometime later, Al-Qatala unleashes chemical attacks across Verdansk, causing the two factions to fight against each other, as well as among themselves, for survival as toxic gas surrounds the city. Amidst the chaos of Armistice's fall and Verdansk's destruction, Task Force 141 member Ghost requests Price to send in reliable reinforcements. Having survived the ordeal at General Barkov's factory, Alex re-emerges and is sent to Verdansk to assist Ghost.
After intercepting a phone call between Al-Asad and Zakhaev, the Armistice leaders learn that Al-Qatala has been shipping armaments to various bunkers located throughout Verdansk, from experimental weapon prototypes to nuclear warheads. Price and Garrick are deployed to Verdansk to assist the ongoing war effort. However, frustrated with the lack of results from the Armistice, a private military company called Shadow Company sends forces to Verdansk to hunt down Zakhaev. An SC squad led by Marcus "Lerch" Ortega infiltrates the city's stadium, where they believe Zakhaev is located after Allegiance forces intercepted radio chatter coming from the stadium.
After learning that Zakhaev has been using Verdansk's subway tunnels to move around undetected, Price sends Farah and Nikolai to infiltrate and reclaim the tunnels, restoring power to the metro system. Eventually, Task Force 141 hacks into Zakhaev’s comms locating him at a nuclear silo in Bunker 10. At the bunker, Zakhaev has armed the nuke and is preparing to launch but is shot by Price and then thrown down the silo, killing him. Price manages to terminate the missile launch just in time with Nikolai's help. As the battle in Verdansk continues to rage on, Price is contacted by Soap, requesting backup "half a kilometer off the coast".
The story opens with Marc-Uwe Kling answering the door to a kangaroo. It explains that it would like to borrow some eggs from him, as it wants to make pancakes but did not remember to buy any eggs. The author is flabbergasted by the talking animal but reacts quickly and fetches some eggs for his new neighbor. Shortly after he had closed the door, it rings again – the Kangaroo also needs to borrow some salt, milk, flour, oil and a pan. Marc-Uwe is happy to help out, grabs the ingredients and the pan and gives them to the Kangaroo. Before he's even moved an inch from the door, the bell rings once again. The Kangaroo does not have a stove yet. Marc-Uwe invites his neighbor into the kitchen – a momentous decision, considering the Kangaroo later moves in with him, without asking for permission, and the two of them become flatmates.
The Kangaroo refuses to pursue stable employment, and when asked about it, simply states "I'm a Communist. Got something against it?" As such, the author is responsible for the Kangaroo's livelihood. The ''Chronicles'' report their conversations and shared experiences, usually through direct speech. Each chapter is a complete short story in and of itself, but they do build on top of one another. For instance, in one story, the author pulls a book out of a fuzzy sock, referring to an earlier chapter when he mentioned that he keeps his books inside fuzzy socks to keep them from sliding off his crooked shelf. These connecting elements, referring to Punch lines from earlier stories and requiring knowledge of previous events appear as running gags throughout the books.
The story is set in Berlin, and occasionally mentions concrete geographical locations, such as Berlin-Kreuzberg or the underground station Kottbusser Tor.
The relationship between Marc-Uwe and the Kangaroo is characterized by bickering, jealousy and spending a lot of time with each other – a bit like a stereotypical marriage. Their topics of conversation range from media and linguistic criticism to capitalism, questions of life and faith, contemporary protest culture, Karl Marx, Bertold Brecht, the Red Army Faction and the Viet Cong.
Towards the end of the book the two are confronted with a new neighbor – the Penguin. It introduces itself as a salesman for frozen food, but both Marc-Uwe and the Kangaroo are immediately suspicious of it.
The second volume ties in where the first one ends. The reader learns about the fictional ''Ministerium für Produktivität'' (''en'': Ministry of Productivity), which plans to crack down on unemployed persons by introducing the ''Initiative für mehr Arbeit'' (en: Initiative for More Labour). Meanwhile, a rivalry develops between the Kangaroo and the Penguin. The Kangaroo, for instance, installs its punching bag so it bumps into their shared wall whenever it's punched. In return, the Penguin places several alarm clocks against the wall in order to wake the Kangaroo. Marc-Uwe's editor suggests to the Kangaroo that the Penguin is its archenemy, fighting to advance its ''kapitalistischen Weltverschlechterungsplan'' (''en'': Capitalist plot to screw up the world). At an awards ceremony which Marc-Uwe and the Kangaroo attend as were nominees for the "Best Book Featuring a Talking Animal," they meet Jörg and Jörn Dwigs – brothers who founded the right-wing populist party ''Sicherheit und Verantwortung'' (en: Safety and Responsibility). This inspires the Kangaroo to found ''das'' ''Asoziale Netzwerk'' (en: the anti-social network) – a group that commits ''"''anti-terror attacks" aimed at "The System." The ''SV'' is elected to parliament in the next elections and plans to categorise foreigners into two groups: ''productive'' or ''unproductive''. The ''Ministry of Productivity'' implements this plan, despite the efforts of the ''Anti-Social Network'' to destroy its databases. At the close of the book, the Kangaroo, who still believes the Penguin to be the head of the campaign, is categorised as ''unproductive'' and is deported.
Although each short story remains intelligible on its own, in the second volume, Kling begins to develop an overarching plot line—whereas the first volume primarily revolves around realist depictions of everyday life in Berlin (with the exception of the talking kangaroo), the second volume introduces various fictional, quasi-realistic organisations and institutions.
The third volume is divided into two parts – Revelations I and II.
At the beginning of Revelations I, Marc-Uwe has been alone for several months already and is suffering from depression. However, the Kangaroo soon returns. Since it is now an illegal immigrant, it relies on a series of disguises to avoid deportation. The two quickly determine that the Penguin no longer lives in his flat, so they make it their mission to find him. They do not follow a set plan or strategy, preferring simply to look in many different places—but wherever they end up, they seem to have just missed the penguin. At the end of part 1, Marc-Uwe's editor asks for more ''grandeur'', so in Revelations II, the flatmates carry on their search abroad.
Marc-Uwe and the Kangaroo visit New York City, Toronto, Brussels, Seattle and Caracas, then Toronto again, and finally Ho-Chi-Minh City. It turns out that the ''Anti-Social Network'' has branched out into regional groups all over the world, and they encounter other members in New York and Toronto. In Ho-Chi-Minh City, Marc-Uwe and the Kangaroo find a factory that is run by the Penguin. To find out what is being manufactured there, they follow the supply chain, eventually reaching an island in the Aegean Sea. The Kangaroo develops the theory that the Penguin and his associates want to turn the whole world into an airport. Marc-Uwe and the Kangaroo find the penguins' headquarters, where it turns out they're raising small penguins. Marc-Uwe and the Kangaroo barely escape the penguins' factory, only making it out with the help of a turncoat penguin. Finally, they make their way to the Outback, where they meet an independent group of kangaroos who are also fighting against "The System" and the penguins.
The ''Revelations'' also include an appendix which describes various anti-terror attacks against the Kangaroo's various foes. The final part of this appendix describes the kangaroos' sabotage of the penguins' first airport.
Revelations I is similar to the ''Manifesto'' in that its stories remain comprehensible in isolation; the stories in the second part, on the other hand, build upon one another. As the book progresses, its chapters become less and less individually comprehensible. The ''Revelations'' incorporate many elements characteristic of Fantasy novels. It also contains various running gags new to the series. For example, every time the protagonists meet someone abroad, it's emphasised again and again what a crazy coincidence it is that the new character just happens to speak German.
The fourth volume was published in October 2018. It is made up of 30 different stories, by and large not organised in chronological order. Nevertheless, some series of interdependent stories, for example those featuring Dietmar Kötke, are told chronologically. Some of the stories are set during the time period of the ''Chronicles'', but others occur even after the end of the ''Revelations''. The ''Apocrypha'' also include some stories from earlier volumes, retold from the perspective of the Kangaroo.
During a Little League game, the Abbott family – wife Evelyn, husband Lee, deaf daughter Regan, and sons Marcus and Beau – and other spectators witness a strange asteroid-like object hurtle towards the Earth. The Death Angels, hostile extraterrestrial creatures that emerged from the asteroid, attack and begin slaughtering people. The blind creatures possess armored skin, have extraordinary speed and strength, and track victims with hypersensitive hearing, attacking anything that makes a noise.
Over a year later, the creatures have killed much of the Earth's population. Regan had discovered that high-frequency audio feedback makes the Death Angels vulnerable, and she devises a makeshift method of transmitting the noise from her cochlear implant through a portable microphone.
With their home destroyed, the family searches for other survivors. Entering a fenced-off area, Evelyn accidentally sets off a sound alarm, alerting the creatures. As they flee, Marcus steps into a bear trap, attracting a Death Angel with his screams. Regan and Evelyn kill it, free Marcus, then run into an abandoned steel foundry. An old friend, Emmett, appears and takes them to his soundproof underground hideout. Emmett, who recently lost his family and developed a cynical outlook on life, refuses to help further and says they cannot stay.
Marcus hears the song "Beyond the Sea" playing on the radio, which Emmett says has aired continuously for four months. Regan determines it is a hint that survivors are on a nearby island. She theorizes that if she can reach the island's radio tower, the hearing aid's high-frequency noise can be broadcast so other survivors can weaponize the signal. She secretly ventures out alone to find the island; Evelyn begs Emmett to find her. He does and saves her from a Death Angel. Regan persuades Emmett to help complete her mission.
Evelyn leaves Marcus and her newborn baby at the foundry to fetch medical supplies in town. Marcus discovers the corpse of Emmett's wife. Startled, he alerts a Death Angel and accidentally locks himself and the baby inside an air-tight compartment.
Emmett and Regan arrive at a marina to board a boat to the island. They are attacked by bandits, and Emmett deliberately creates noise and attracts Death Angels that slaughter the attackers. When one creature drowns, he realizes that the creatures cannot swim. The two row to the island where a small colony of survivors is living normally. The colony leader reveals that when the government discovered the creatures were unable to swim, the U.S. National Guard attempted to move as many people as possible to the islands. However, the chaos from boarding created noise that attracted the Death Angels, leaving only two boats that made it to the island.
When Evelyn returns to the foundry, she frees the children before they suffocate. The three hide inside the bunker as the alien prowls the foundry. At the island the next day, a Death Angel trapped on a boat from the marina misadventure has drifted to the island and attacks the colonists. After the colony leader drives Emmett and Regan to the radio station, both to quickly transport them and to lure the Death Angel away from the colonists, the creature kills him. Regan transmits the high frequency via the station's signal and plays it over the station's speakers, incapacitating the Death Angel, and impales its exposed head with a rod, killing it.
At the foundry, the creature discovers the family. Marcus picks up Regan's transmission and plays the high-pitched frequency through his portable radio before shooting the Death Angel. Regan leaves the hearing aid connected to the radio station's microphone, allowing the broadcast signal to be weaponized by others.
Wesley Darya is struggling to find a job and a partner and desperately wants to settle down in life. She goes on a blind date with a man named Sean. However, Sean ends the date abruptly when she mentions marriage and kids too frequently. Immediately after leaving the date, she meets Jared, a charming and attractive man who came to her aid after she tripped and fell on the sidewalk. Drawn to his looks and desperate to date him, Wesley starts to hide her true self in order to make the relationship work.
After dating for a month, Jared and Wesley finally have sex. When he does not contact her for five days, she becomes upset and suspicious that he has ghosted her. Wesley gets drunk with her two best friends and the trio write a long and insulting email to him. Jared calls Wesley to inform her that he had gotten into a car accident in Mexico, without having checked his emails as his phone was in his resort room. To save her relationship, Wesley decides to go to Mexico with Brooke and Kaylie, sneak into Jared's resort room and delete the email.
After checking in, Wesley notices that Sean is at the same resort. She repeatedly tries and fails to gain access to Jared's room, and is eventually kicked out of the resort. When she tries to break in again, against her friends’ advice, she is caught and arrested. Sean, Brooke, and Kaylie come to pick her up, and Sean agrees to try to help Wesley delete the email before Jared is released from the hospital. When Jared calls her to tell her he is being released early, Wesley decides to meet Jared at the Mexican airport and fly back with him, deleting the email on the flight. On the way to the airport, Sean tells Wesley that she had been his first and only date after the death of his wife, and that he is not planning on dating again. He had ended the date because he was not ready to move on from his wife. The two bond over the drive, and Sean encourages her to tell Jared the truth.
On the plane, Wes gains access to the email and is about to delete it when she decides to tell Jared the truth. After reading the email, Jared breaks up with her for lying to him. After the plane lands, Wesley complains to her friends, but they accuse her of neglecting them during the trip. After Wesley tells them that her problems are more important than theirs, they end their friendship with her and leave her at the airport.
Wesley later finds a job as a guidance counselor after Sean recommends her to one of his friends. She apologizes to her friends and they forgive her, after she admits her flaws and thanks them for always supporting her. Wesley tracks down Sean, who is at the same restaurant where they had gone on their blind date. She realizes he is on another blind date, and apologizes but confesses her feelings for him. He tells her that what they had in Mexico was too serious for him and is only interested in something casual. She sadly leaves the restaurant, but he rushes out to find her shortly after. He agrees to date Wesley and the two kiss on the street. Sean's date angrily walks past them, complaining on the phone to her mother about her terrible date.

Chris Gillhaney (Andrew Scott) is a rideshare driver in London. He has sex with Hayley (Amanda Drew), a woman from his group therapy, who has been trying to guess the password to her late daughter's Persona account to find out what led to her suicide. One day, Chris picks up Jaden (Damson Idris), an employee at the social media company Smithereen. Chris abducts him at gunpoint but is furious upon discovering that he is a newly-joined intern. A police officer sees Jaden in the back seat with a bag over his head and pursues with her partner. In the chase, Chris veers to avoid two teenage cyclists and stalls the car in a field. An additional contingent of police arrive, led by CS Linda Grace (Monica Dolan).
Chris is aiming to speak with Smithereen CEO Billy Bauer (Topher Grace). Chris sends a picture of Jaden at gunpoint to Jaden's superior. Word gets to COO Penelope Wu (Ruibo Qian) in America, who puts Chris on hold. However, Billy is on a solitary retreat. As police visit Chris's listed address, Smithereen gather much more information through Chris's social media profiles. Formerly a teacher, Chris lost his fiancée Tamsin in a car accident with a drunk driver three years earlier and has been planning a kidnapping for weeks.

Talking to him, Chris reveals that he was checking a Smithereen notification when the cars collided and blames himself for the deaths. Chris and Billy agree that Smithereen has been designed to be as addictive as possible and Billy says he was planning to quit as CEO.

Rachel Goggins (Angourie Rice) and her older sister Jack (Madison Davenport) live with their father Kevin (Marc Menchaca) after the death of their mother. For her fifteenth birthday, Rachel receives Ashley Too (voiced by Miley Cyrus), an artificial intelligence (AI) robotic doll of her favourite pop star Ashley O (Miley Cyrus). Much to Jack's annoyance, Rachel treats the doll as a friend, but Ashley Too also compliments Jack's favourite genre of rock music, which was also her mother's favourite. Rachel dances to Ashley O's song "On a Roll" at a school talent contest, but leaves the stage embarrassed after slipping off a stool. Jack angrily hides Ashley Too, causing Rachel to accuse Jack of suppressing her own creativity.
Meanwhile, Ashley O is unsatisfied with her musical direction and longs to play as a rock musician. When Ashley O writes broody music and does not take the medication given to subdue her, her controlling aunt and manager Catherine (Susan Pourfar) laces her dinner with drugs to render her comatose. When the news reports that the coma was caused by a shellfish allergy, Jack returns Ashley Too to Rachel, who shows no interest.
Six months later, Ashley Too is reactivated by a news report on Ashley O's coma and malfunctions upon learning of her real self's predicament. Jack connects the doll to the software Kevin uses for his humane mousetrap inventions and removes a limiter. Ashley Too reveals herself to be a clone of Ashley O's consciousness, and convinces Rachel and Jack to look for evidence of Catherine's crimes at her house. After Jack inexpertly drives them there, she poses as a mouse pest control service while Rachel takes Ashley Too to where Ashley O lies comatose. The doll pulls the plug, trying to kill Ashley O, but actually removes a medication drip, awakening her. Jack and Rachel subdue two staff members alerted to the drip's removal by using Kevin's mouse stunner and a syringe of medication.
The now-conscious Ashley O directs the group to a venue where Catherine is debuting Ashley Eternal, a holographic replacement for Ashley O on music tours. Pursued by the police after Jack runs a red light, the group drive through the back entrance of the venue, surprising Catherine and the crowd as Ashley O emerges.
Later, Ashley O performs the song "Head Like a Hole" with Jack under the name "Ashley Fuckn O", while Rachel and Ashley Too watch.
Twenty-seven-year-old Danny Parker (Anthony Mackie) and his girlfriend Theo (Nicole Beharie) go to a bar and pretend to be strangers. After they return home and have sex, Danny loudly plays the fictional fighting game ''Striking Vipers'' with his friend Karl Houghton (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) as their preferred characters Lance and Roxette, respectively. This wakes Theo up.
Eleven years later, Danny hosts a barbecue at his house with Theo, to whom he is married and has a five-year-old child. He has fallen out of contact with Karl, who is currently seeing a younger woman named Mariella. At the party, Karl gives Danny a birthday present: ''Striking Vipers X'', the series' newest installment, and the virtual reality kit needed to play it. That night, the pair play the game in their respective homes, falling motionless in real life as they fully experience all sensations of Lance (Ludi Lin) and Roxette (Pom Klementieff). After a bout of fighting, which induces real pain, they fall onto each other. Karl (as Roxette) kisses Danny (as Lance), but Danny pulls away after a few seconds and they exit the game.
Over the next few weeks, Danny and Karl regularly have sex in the game in the characters' bodies, and Theo notices that Danny is becoming withdrawn and no longer has sex with her, even though they have been trying to have a baby. Theo confronts him on their wedding anniversary and asks if he is having an affair. Danny says he is not and tells Karl they need to stop playing the game.
At Danny's next birthday, Theo invites Karl to dinner as a surprise. Karl reveals to Danny that he has been unable to recreate the emotions or experiences with computer-controlled characters or other players. That night, the pair enter the game and have passionate sex. Afterwards, Karl says "I love you". Danny arranges for them to meet in real life and kiss in their normal bodies, but both of them say that there is no feeling there. Karl argues they should continue seeing each other in the game but Danny disagrees, and an ensuing fight is broken up by the police. Theo picks up Danny from the police station and is enraged at his silence about what caused the fight. Danny finally starts to admit the truth.
On July 14, as the three have agreed, Danny plays ''Striking Vipers X'' with Karl while Theo goes to the bar without her wedding ring to meet a stranger.

Lisa Jura was a prodigy who hoped to become a pianist during pre-World War II Vienna. As Nazi attacks on Jews continue in her home country, her parents send her on the Kindertransport to London, England. Several days after arrival, she became a servant at a manor. Sometime later, though, she leaves the manor. Lisa then resides in a hostel for Jewish children on Willesden Lane, where she makes new friends. Continuing her interest in piano, she plays music, inspiring the other children through their problems. It's a story of kindness and love and compassion.
The story begins with a college student, Kara Sanders, who after a night out, returns to her college dorm room with symptoms of drowsiness. The following morning, her roommate, Mei, a first year college student, dismisses her sleeping figure for tiredness. However, when Mei returns to the dorm room in the afternoon, she finds Kara in the same position she was in when she left. Mei calls the paramedics, who rush Kara to hospital, where her heart rate slows down to a complete stop and she is declared dead. Soon after, Rebecca, another girl from the same dorm floor, falls victim to the sleeping virus. Rebecca’s heart rapidly slows and she is deemed unconscious, however, her pulse remains completely stable; her only symptom is deep sleep. Unknowingly, at the time of her comatose state, Rebecca is also a few days pregnant.
A janitor from the college, Thomas Peterson, who worked on the same dorm floor as the sleeping virus victims, returns home to his two daughters, Sara and Libby. He proceeds to prepare his daughters for isolation from the virus. Meanwhile, panic ensues on the dorm floor when it is believed that the sleeping virus could be highly contagious. As a result, the dorm floor is quarantined. It is announced that a third girl from the same dorm floor has lost consciousness. With each of the cases, it is confirmed, through the mapping of brain activity, that the sleepers are dreaming. It is also concluded that there is more brain activity in these sleepers than there ever has been in any human brain.
On the fourteenth day of the outbreak of the sleeping virus, a researcher concludes that the virus is airborne; a virus that travels in a similar manner to the measles and the flu. The patients, nurses, and visitors from Santa Lora Hospital at the time of the announcement are all quarantined and their ventilation is cut off.
During a wildfire that breaks out in Southern California, Thomas becomes a victim of the sleeping virus and will not wake up, leaving his two daughters — Sara and Libby — alone in their house. During the fire, the college kids escape quarantine. Mei decides to take cover with Matthew in a vacant house.
Nathaniel, a biology professor at Santa Lora college, goes to visit Henry, his lover, at a nursing home. The doctors say that Henry has a counterintuitive symptom related to the sleeping virus that is not present in the other victims, as he suddenly starts talking, after being comatose for years. He is one of the only victims of the sleeping virus where the sickness works in the opposite way; it enhances life and consciousness rather than diminishing it.
In the meantime, the victim count in Santa Lora rises to five hundred. As a result, the town undergoes a cordon sanitaire to prevent the illness from spreading to other towns in California, or to the wider continental United States. On the morning of this large-scale quarantine, Ben, a college professor, finds his wife Annie sprawled on the kitchen floor with her eyes fluttering rapidly, a victim of the sleeping virus. Soon after, Ben begins having vivid dreams. He knows something absurd is happening to his memory, as he believes that he is dreaming of events to come. Ben's baby eventually gets the virus too, followed soon after by Ben. The next morning, Sara finds Libby asleep on the floor, mumbling with her eyes wide open. Mei also catches the virus, undergoing a form of sleep paralysis, characterized by the feeling of pressure on her chest and her inability to scream out for help. Although Libby's eyes are closed and she is in a far-off state, she is still conscious and aware of the world around her.
Seven weeks into the outbreak, Thomas is the second sleeping virus victim to wake up. He decides to leave the hospital and return home, where Sara is living by herself. Thomas appears distant, seeming intensely preoccupied with writing in his journal, and shouts about a fire. Sara tells Thomas that Libby has the sleeping virus, however, he claims that they have already discussed it, when they had not. Thomas is adamant that there was a fire in the college library that cured all of the sick, a belief that comes from a dream he had whilst asleep. Thomas experiments with fire and discovers that he can see the flame before he has lit the match, which leads him to the conclusion that he has, in fact, seen the future in his dreams. A day later, a fire starts in the college library. The fire miraculously awakens fourteen sleepers, including Ben, Annie, and Libby. Nine sleepers do not survive, including Mei. The cause of the fire is believed to be arson.
Libby discloses that she felt like she had only taken a nap, when she had, in fact, been asleep for three weeks. She states that she dreamt of her sister, Sara, and their mother, who died when they were young. Their father, Thomas, reveals that he dreamt that the oceans moved a hundred miles inland and completely covered Los Angeles underwater. Shortly after, the news announces that the largest ice shelf in Antarctica is expected to break off. As a result, Thomas realizes that all of the events in his dreams will become real life events. In the same week, Nathaniel wakes up after three weeks in a deep slumber. It is soon revealed, after Nathaniel finds Henry unmoving and unable to talk, that Henry never woke up; Nathaniel dreamt his medical breakthrough. The professor researches what his dream could mean and discovers a theory that claims the possibility that everything he dreamt has actually happened, but in a parallel universe.
Thirteen weeks after the outbreak of the sleeping virus, Rebecca's baby steadily grows inside her womb, while Rebecca remains in a deep sleep. The other girls from her college dorm floor, the first few to catch the virus, begin to wake up. In this same week, it is announced that there have been no new cases of the sleeping virus for seven days. Ben and Annie find that their baby has woken up. Ben tells Annie the dreams that he had about the future, but Annie tells him that he merely dreamt about events that they have already lived through. With no new cases of the virus in four weeks, it is announced that the sleeping contagion has officially ended. The cordon sanitaire is lifted and the town comes out of quarantine. However, eighty-five sleepers are still affected, including Rebecca. Rebecca sleeps through her contractions and her cesarean section, and eventually gives birth entirely asleep. Soon after this ordeal, when Rebecca wakes up, she discloses that she dreamt up another life, one with a son. She dreamt of raising him as a baby, watching him go to college, and then witnessing him have a child of his own. When the nurse reminds Rebecca that she had a baby girl, Rebecca remains adamant that she had a son, as she is unable to discern dream from reality.
It is revealed that all of the sleepers in Santa Lora dreamed of the lives they never lived, as well as the past, present, and future.
Walker uses third-person narration in order to manage a large cast of characters, including a number of college students, couples, and families. The benefit of working with a multitude of characters is Walker's ability to "telescope in and out among these characters' experiences and the college town, animating both intimate and panoramic moments of the plague."
A Twentieth Century up-to-date tramp flying over the chimney tops of New York City in the latest flying machine, a bicycle that has its own propeller.

In making his way toward Staten Island, his flying machine blows up, and the tramp falls off his perch.
The film opens in a valley on a spring day. A couple is buried in an avalanche, but their son Iver miraculously succeeds in escaping. He is found by the wealthy farmer Sjur Rognved, who lets the boy stay with him. Growing up, Ivar falls in love with the farmer's daughter Ragnhild, who returns his love. One day a group of Gypsies comes to the farm, and a woman in the group, Marja, recognizes Iver as her nephew. When the farmer learns this, he no longer wants Ragnhild to marry Iver because he does not consider "Gypsy blood" pure. Iver is furious about this and takes refuge with the travelers. However, Iver finds their wandering life too uncertain and he grows tired of it. When he hears that Ragnhild will marry Bottolf, he leaves the travelers and returns home. He succeeds in stopping the wedding at the last moment, and finally the wealthy farmer also gives his approval for the marriage between Iver and Ragnhild.
There is another version of the film with an alternative ending, in which Iver interrupts Sjur and Ragnhild before they arrive at the church. Then one sees Ragnhild and Iver in the church singing a hymn along with an open Bible between them.
Matt and his wife Karen arrive unexpectedly to visit Matt's troubled brother Steve for the Christmas holidays. Based on the blacked-out windows and odd atmosphere, Matt tells Karen that something feels wrong. Steve repeatedly sees visions of his dead wife Sarah through television static while also taking disturbing phone calls from someone unknown.
Following several tense conversations between the three of them, Steve shows Matt and Karen a padlocked door bearing a cross in the basement. Matt and Karen hear a man's voice ask for help from the other side. Steve astonishingly claims that the imprisoned man is the devil.
When they return upstairs, Steve dodges questions about details by simply saying that something evil conjured itself into the shape of a man, and he trapped it behind the door. Steve pleads with Matt and Karen to believe him, adding that he knows his claim sounds crazy, but they cannot tell anyone else because no one will believe it either.
Wanting to understand his brother's reasoning, Matt entertains the idea that Steve captured the devil. Karen refuses to be complicit in a possible crime and demands action be taken. Matt insists that he does not want Steve to go to prison and suggests they simply let the man go and get mental help for Steve.
The two brothers have a conversation about their broken relationship. Steve shows Matt a book that identifies the devil as a presence that manipulates people into committing heinous acts such as murder. Steve claims that by trapping the devil, he has trapped the seed of evil thoughts and instincts that the devil exploits.
Steve takes Matt to a room of newspaper clippings connected by numerous strings to illustrate how he discovered the devil's pattern. Steve shows Matt a flyer for a missing girl who recently returned home. Steve explains that he thinks others will return, too, because the devil is currently trapped.
Matt asks who has been calling Steve on the phone. Steve says he thinks someone is coming for the devil. Steve adds that he thinks someone or something also influenced Matt to show up at this critical juncture in the devil's imprisonment.
Left alone, Karen returns to the basement door to unlock it as the man's voice pleads with her. When an odd feeling causes Karen to hesitate, the man begins taunting her.
Steve pulls Karen out of the basement. While pointing his handgun at her and Matt, Steve questions Karen regarding what the man said to her. Matt forces his brother to put down the gun. Steve tells Karen he knows she felt something evil.
The power flickers. Steve boards up several windows. After consoling each other over what to do, Matt and Karen fall asleep. Steve falls asleep too.
Another vision of Sarah in TV static wakes Steve. Steve taunts the imprisoned man by asking what it feels like to be helpless.
Woken by a strange feeling, Matt reexamines Steve's pattern walls. Matt pauses on a newspaper with the headline “Christmas Crash Claims Lives – Brentville Father Grieves.”
Karen confronts Steve in front of the locked door. Steve speaks cryptically about the tragic accident that took the lives of his wife Sarah and their young daughter. Steve says that the man responsible is not evil for what he did, but that evil let it happen. Steve adds, “evil is whatever hurts you the most.”
Steve challenges Karen to open the door so that she can see for herself and so he can see whatever it shows her. Before she can act, Steve renders Karen unconscious with chloroform and locks her in the basement.
After taking another phone call, Steve locks Matt in the pattern room. While Matt escapes and reconnects with his wife, Steve encounters a vision of a longhaired man holding Steve's daughter's stuffed bunny toy in two pieces. The man says, “please help; I can’t stop the bleeding.”
Blood gushing from the man's hands transports Steve to another vision where Sarah wears a blindfold. Realizing she is not real as the vision becomes more terrifying, Steve prepares to shoot Sarah.
Matt and Karen shake Steve back to reality. Matt talks Steve into giving up the gun by saying although he was not there for his brother before, he is there for him now.
Matt goes to free the man in the basement. Karen tells Matt something is wrong even though she cannot explain it. Matt insists that the man is not the devil. Steve pleads with his brother to reconsider. When Matt continues forward, Steve stabs Matt's stomach. Matt dies. Steve goes upstairs, distraught.
Karen confronts Steve in the kitchen. Steve explains that he did not intend to kill his brother, but Matt would not stop. Steve also tells Karen that she can see “her” if she opens the door. Karen shoots Steve dead.
Karen goes back downstairs. The imprisoned man taunts Karen by saying they can save Matt together if she opens the door. Karen does not open the door.
Cops Alan and Ben are called to the house. Alan sees a vision of Santa in the television static. After finding Steve's body, Alan goes downstairs. The man pleads for Alan to open the door. Alan and Karen end up shooting each other.
The gunshots summon Ben to the cellar. Entranced by the atmosphere, Ben opens the door. A little girl walks past the entranced cop as well as Matt and Karen's bodies slumped on the floor. The girl exits outside through the front door.
The film opens with a mortar attack on the 1st Australian Task Force (1 ATF) base at Nui Dat by the Viet Cong (VC) and People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN). During the attack, Major Harry Smith is cool under fire, ordering his men to take cover and stand to, while other soldiers don't take it seriously, playing cards or drinking beer. The base fends off the attack with counter-battery fire, killing the enemy mortar crew.
Following the attack, Major Smith volunteers his unit, Delta Company, 6th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (6 RAR) to investigate the rubber tree plantation at Long Tân away. Instead, Bravo Company is ordered to locate the mortar firing points and the direction of the enemy withdrawal. Bravo finds no enemy forces.
The next day, Major Smith's Delta Company is sent to relieve Bravo, and thus missing the concert of Australian musicians Little Pattie and Col Joye and the Joy Boys set for that afternoon. Finding fresh tracks leading away from the mortar firing sites, Delta moves to follow the enemy forces. 11 Platoon takes the lead, and makes contact with a small VC patrol. 11 Platoon penetrates further into the plantation, widening the gap with 10 Platoon, and the rest of the company.
11 Platoon quickly comes under heavy attack, and calls down fire from artillery units back at Nui Dat, danger close to its position to hold back the enemy force. 12 Platoon reinforces, but the attack is only getting stronger. 11 Platoon become isolated, in danger of being overrun.
Back at Nui Dat, Brigadier Oliver David Jackson is hesitant to commit reinforcements, and orders Delta to withdraw. Major Smith refuses to leave 11 Platoon behind, eventually forcing Jackson to send APCs to rescue Delta, leaving the base open to attack. Low on ammunition and under a monsoon, Major Smith pleads for a helicopter resupply. The senior RAAF officer at Nui Dat, Group Captain Peter Raw, does not want to risk aircraft with a hot LZ in the monsoon. However, two RAAF Iroquois pilots, Flight Lieutenant Francis Patrick (Frank) Riley and Flight Lieutenant Robert George (Bob) Grandin, volunteer to support D Company, flying in under heavy fire.
Now resupplied, but still outnumbered, Major Smith organizes his forces to successfully hold off the assault, before the relief force of M113 armoured personnel carriers and infantry from Nui Dat finally arrives, and force the PAVN soldiers to withdraw.

Waël (Kheiron) is a petty criminal who lives with his foster mother Monique (Catherine Deneuve) in a Paris suburb. They get food by conning older grocery shoppers out of their purchases outside a supermarket. One day, when they try to rob Victor (André Dussollier), he recognises Monique as an old friend he had not seen for 30 years. He doesn't press charges in exchange for Waël and Monique working for him on a volunteer basis, Waël as a mentor for troubled teenagers who have been expelled, and Monique as Victor's secretary at the youth club he runs.
Throughout the film, Waël's background is presented in flashbacks to his childhood in Lebanon in a Muslim village. The entire population of the village, including Waël's family, was massacred by Christian and Jewish soldiers when he was very small. He survived by picking pockets in a city until he was accepted into an orphanage run by Christian nuns. He befriended Joseph, a Christian boy whose family had been killed by Muslim soldiers, who taught him French. After being sexually abused by one of the teachers, Joseph committed suicide. Some time later, the orphanage was attacked by Muslim extremists and most of the adults and children were killed; Waël escaped the attack, the second massacre in his life, together with one of the nuns.
Waël connects with the recalcitrant teenagers, but they only agree to return to the youth club when he offers them €10 per day. There are six students in the group: the intelligent and arrogant Nadia, Shana who admires Nadia with little will of her own, Karim and Ludo who are from neighbouring areas at war with each other, the Romany boy Jimmy who can't read or write and doesn't speak much French, and Fabrice who seems generally disaffected with life. Over the following week, Waël gains their confidence, sometimes by exaggerating his own abilities, or pretending that he has invented important things or coined well-known sayings.
The group bonds and together teach Jimmy to read and Nadia to communicate with more humility. Shana confides in Waël her father has sexually abused her, and he convinces her to tell her mother. Meanwhile, Ludo is being harassed by Franck, an unscrupulous police officer who threatens to tell social services that Ludo's siblings should be placed in foster care unless he agrees to sell drugs for him.
Waël appears to believe that Franck is Ludo's youth worker and tells him the €10 bills he gives to the kids every day are counterfeit. He claims that he regularly buys small sums in counterfeit money to use for minor transactions. Franck asks Waël to provide him with a very large sum in counterfeit bills. Waël reluctantly tells Franck that he will do it, but instead contacts the police who turn up at the meeting place. In a flashback, it is revealed that Karim told Waël about Ludo's trouble with Franck. When he realises he has been betrayed, he shoots Waël in the leg.
Waël survives and in the final scene of the film, the students give him a book of quotations, showing they knew all along he had been pretending to be more than he was. By now they are all returning to the club of their own free will, without being paid for it.
Erika Villanueva has a terminally ill mother. She learned from her friend Yella "Yel" De Leon about a sacred mountain where devotees of Mary held a miracle cure that can heal all diseases. Erika enlists the help of her friends Richard "Richie/Rich" Santos, Rithea "Thea" Del Rosario and Jesus "Mac" De Andres to go on hiking on the sacred mountain to find the cure that can save her mother. One night, the group were possessed except for Erika, injuring Thea and Mac. The following morning, Yel went missing, and Mac and Thea were killed by a ghostly figure.
As Rich and Erika continue towards the peak of the mountain, Rich learned from a group of armed men that Erika was chosen to be a demonic sacrificial offering to the God of Tumao, ''Ina'' (Mother). There were no devotees of Mary in the mountain, but shamans who worship ''Ina''. Erika was captured and learned that Yel was a member of the cult. Yel considers Erika to be "pure" and was therefore worthy to be sacrificed to ''Ina''. Rich and his group reached the cult just in time, and in the ensuing battle, Yel was injured. Rich and Erika escapes, but Yel offers Erika one last chance to sacrifice her own life in order to save her mother. Using a flare gun, Erika shot Yel which burns her to death. Later on, Erika and Rich are rescued by authorities.

In the beginning, darkness and silence prevailed before the creation of the world until three lights; red, green and blue, were born within. Desiring domination, these light began in trying to destroy each one until their constant conflict spawned two black and white lights in the process. Wanting peace, the white light confined the other four lights and itself into gemstones representative of their colors which, after their powers were in complete harmony, the land of Alpherion was born as a result, where the events of ''Twinkle Tale'' takes place. Saria, a young apprentice magician, is summoned by her mentor on going to the Picket Village in order to consult the fortune teller Raza about an important matter that day. When being inquired by the young apprentice magician, Raza alerts her of a rebellion stirred by the dark wizard Gadou with his legion of monsters by capturing the great wizards of Alpherion, one of which being the young apprentice's mentor, that could potentially lead Alpherion fall under his control if he is not stopped. As a result, Raza bestows upon Saria three magical items so she can go and defeat Gadou and his forces.
Saria travels to the plains of Talon and reaches the castle of her mentor, the great red wizard Olof, to rescue him. Once freed from his captivity, Olof explains to Saria that one of the reasons for the rebellion to occur was due to Gadou violating the ban in not using the powers of his gemstone, an onyx, for personal use to control the darkness and communicate with hell, as well as trying to increase his strength through black magic, which infuriated the king of the land and imprisoned him on his castle and barely managed to confiscate the onyx, with him also informing to her that the main source of his powers, a ruby, was taken away and he has gone to the diamond palace to protect the king, but not before telling her to rescue his comrades. Saria goes through the land's vine ravines before arriving and rescuing the great green wizard Dohla on his castle, who regretfully tells her that his emerald was also taken way. He further explains to her that another reason for the rebellion is to summon a powerful demon king from hell by using the powers of each gemstone and that she must have to save the great blue wizard Elan before departing to the Diamond palace in order to protect the king alongside Olof. After going through the caves of Rield, Saria rescue Elan in his castle, whose sapphire was also stolen as well. Saria plans in heading towards the mountain range of Zard, where the castle of Gadou is located, with Elan granting her the ability to fly with a magical robe before going to protect the king with his comrades.
Saria arrives to the castle of Gadou, who is lying fatally injured on a pentagram symbol and tells her that Kaiser Demon was summoned by his servants. He also explains his motivation for the rebellion and reveals the true culprits before passing away, with Saria quickly departing to the palace in order to kill the king of darkness. Saria reaches the king's room before meeting with the great wizards, who tells her that Kaiser Demon is creating a breach between Alpherion and hell, but warns her that she cannot come back after entering the room without killing Kaiser Demon. After an arduous battle, Kaiser Demon is eventually killed, with the great wizards and the king congratulating Saria for her heroic efforts, with the latter being able to grant a wish for her. Saria ask the king in forgiving the deceased Gadou for his misled actions and bury his remains on Zard, to which the king agrees in doing so. Saria departs from the palace and her master to look upon the horizon, marking both an end to her journey and the birth of a new legend.
An embassy is isolated like an island in a posh residential area. Among the guests at a reception organized by the embassy is a blackmailer who offers military attaché Captain Rist to buy back secret war plans he had previously stolen from him. Since Rist doesn't know exactly what the plans are, he agrees to meet the blackmailer in the Silvia Bar. It quickly becomes clear to him that the documents on offer are the plans he himself once designed for practice purposes and are completely worthless. Rist quickly realizes that should these documents get into the hands of the press, they could cause considerable damage and seriously jeopardize the good relations of the countries concerned. So he only sees the possibility of agreeing to the blackmailer's offer to buy.
Since Captain Rist does not have the required purchase price of $6,000, he agrees to declare the amount as a gambling debt, which must be paid within 24 hours. Quite surprisingly, however, the police appear in the bar and arrest the blackmailer, who still manages to slip the filled-in promissory note to the bar owner, Silvia. She senses the chance of getting a nice sum of money and goes to the embassy the following day to claim the outstanding amount. Rist asks for an extension of the payment deadline, but the barmaid wants the money immediately. Only now does Rist realize that Silvia has made a mistake, as she believes she is dealing with commercial attaché Raak, whose checkbook is also on the desk. Seeing no other way out, Rist takes the checkbook and writes a check for the amount requested. He forges Raak's signature and gives the check to Silvia, who then leaves the premises.
Since the debit of the large sum means that Raak's account is no longer covered, he becomes aware of the fraud. When the ambassador found out about the incident, he demanded that Raak accept the requested amount on the check so that the embassy and its staff would not be put in a bad light. Raak then asks, his honor violated, to be dismissed from the civil service. The ambassador, now fully examining the situation and realizing that there must be a criminal in his own ranks, calls all the officers together and explains to the assembled crew that he expects the criminal in question to judge himself.
Captain Rist, guilty only to the extent that he carelessly recorded war plans for practice purposes and did not keep them carefully enough, takes all the blame and sees only one way out: he takes his own life by driving his car around a long curve deliberately left the roadway and fell into the sea, where he drowned. He also clears the way for Raak, who is planning a future with the ambassador's daughter.

After Mary recovers, Doll keeps Mary safe while she learns the trade, with much of their time at leisure: drinking, attending the theatre, strolling through parks, and visiting friends.

Billionaire Richard "Dodge" Forthrast is declared brain-dead after a routine medical procedure. Friends and family find his last will directs that his body be cryonically preserved for the purpose of future brain scanning and eventual revival. His wishes are fulfilled, his frozen brain destructively scanned, and his connectome saved in digital form.
Several years pass in which portable augmented reality viewers become ubiquitous, social media echo chambers cause rural lawlessness, commercial quantum computing is feasible, and anonymous distributed ledger identification becomes popular in business.
Dodge's grandniece Sophia animates Dodge's connectome as an experiment on secure distributed computing, for her senior thesis, at Princeton.

El conquers the world, isolates Dodge (with the power of his mind, aided by augmention by his private data centers). El subjugates the (virtual) population with a religion centered upon worship of him. Sophia (after being murdered by El) enters this virtual world, to assist Dodge in disrupting El's power. She -- and several other characters -- embark on an epic quest. Stephenson, in narrating this, is able to describe many aspects of this medieval fantasy world, and of the beliefs that El has instilled amongst its peoples. In the end Dodge and El have one final confrontation to determine whose vision for this virtual world prevails.
The film tells about the famous Ossetian poet Kosta Khetagurov.
Taurida Governorate, Falz-Fein steppe empire. The fates of the two friends Vusti and Hanna are different: Vostya fell in love with the revolutionary Leonid Bronnikov and she herself decided to follow his path. Hanna's dream is to become rich. She falls in love with the son of the Falz-Fein millionaires. But the maid fails to become a mistress: the landowner Sophia Falz-Fein drives Hanna out of the estate. Hard working conditions at work in the landlord economies give rise to solidarity and strong friendship between Russians and Ukrainians. They rebel against their oppressor landowner Falz-Fein.
The film takes place during the war of 1812, when Napoleon’s army is defeated and retreats. In the center of the plot are three Russian soldiers who are stationed in the forest.
Zaletaev brags that he "took Poleon twice prisoner". Senior soldiers laugh and go to bed. Suddenly, two cold, hungry, barefoot French soldiers come out from behind the bushes, straying from their unit. One of them falls in exhaustion. Russians carried him to the Colonel. Then they treat the second Frenchman porridge and poured him vodka. Warmed up, half-asleep Frenchman humming a song, Zaletaev echoes him. A French soldier falls asleep in his lap. "Also people!" an old soldier exclaims.
The London branch of DedSec, led by Sabine Brandt and her newly crafted AI, Bagley, detect armed intruders planting explosives in the Houses of Parliament. DedSec operative Dalton Wolfe goes to defuse the bombs and discovers the intruders are members of a rogue hacker group called "Zero Day". Although Dalton manages to prevent Parliament's destruction, he is gunned down by drones commanded by Zero Day's leader, who detonates additional explosives around London and orders an attack on DedSec's main hideout, forcing Sabine to shut down Bagley and go into hiding. In the wake of the bombings, the British government contract Albion with restoring order to London and hunting down DedSec, who are held responsible for the chaos, effectively causing social and political unrest amongst the city's inhabitants.
Months later, Albion enforces the law without political oversight, transforming London into a surveillance state with the aid of its ctOS network and SIRS ─ a collation of Britain's intelligence agencies. As a result, citizens have their personal liberties severely restricted and their lives constantly monitored, while those who question Albion's methods are either convicted or deported to Continental Europe. Organised crime is also on the rise, despite Albion's presence. Although most DedSec members have been arrested or killed by Albion, Sabine resurfaces when she finds a new recruit through ctOS, who is sent to reactivate the group's safehouse and Bagley. DedSec slowly rebuild their strength as they find more recruits who, under Sabine's co-ordination and with Bagley's help, liberate London's boroughs by encouraging citizens to rise up in defiance of their oppressors.
After rebuilding their forces, DedSec investigate the bombings and discover that both Albion's CEO Nigel Cass and Clan Kelley were involved, and are taking advantage of London's current situation for their own ends; Clan Kelley is using people from Albion's deportation centers for their human and organ trafficking operations, while Cass plans to enforce peace across London with an automated drone army that can identify and neutralize threats before they occur.
During this time, DedSec also investigate Broca Tech's CEO Skye Larsen and discover that her advanced AI projects, including Bagley, are the result of neural-mapping, which traps humans in cyberspace with no memories of their past life. DedSec eventually deal with Larsen (either by shutting down her life support or allowing her to upload herself to cyberspace). Concurrently, a SIRS whistleblower named Richard Malik enlists DedSec's help in proving SIRS leader Emma Child was behind the Zero Day bombings, only to turn on them once it is revealed he was trying to infiltrate the group to supply their identites to Albion. Malik frames DedSec for another bombing that kills Child and allows him to take over SIRS, but DedSec capture him and prove their innocence.
Eventually, DedSec infiltrate a slave auction hosted by Clan Kelley's leader, Mary Kelley, and discover she helped Zero Day smuggle their explosives into the country. After gathering enough evidence to get Kelley convicted, DedSec and Metropolitan Police Service Detective Kaitlyn Lau attempt to capture her, but after they realize that Kelley will still walk free, they leave her to be killed by her former slaves. DedSec also sabotage Cass's drone project and expose his crimes to the public, prompting him to take refuge at Albion's HQ in the Tower of London. Fearing Cass will attempt to retaliate against his enemies, DedSec storm the Tower and kill Cass.
As DedSec celebrate their actions, Zero Day hacks the group, stealing the tech they had acquired. Tracing the hack, they discover that Sabine was behind the bombings and Zero Day, and that Cass helped her until double-crossing her for control of data gathering technology. In response, Sabine restarted DedSec simply to get revenge on Cass, recover what he had stolen, and seek out other components. DedSec discover Sabine intends to use the stolen technology to create a patch for Bagley and take control of Britain's ctOS infrastructure, plunging the country into chaos in hopes it will force society to forgo technology and restart. To prevent this, Bagley agrees to be shut down. Avoiding the chaos caused by Sabine, a DedSec operative goes to hack Blume's radio tower, to prevent the patch from being spread. Sabine confronts them, but the operative lowers the tower's fins and sends her falling to her apparent death. Meanwhile, another operative shuts down Bagley's primary server at Broca Tech, ending the crisis.
While the British government reviews its contract with Albion and local law enforcement begins work to resume operations, DedSec finally clear their names and are praised for exposing considerable crimes and corruption across London. In an epilogue scene, they manage to restore Bagley to his original state, and continue to rely on him to help them finish off loose ends around London.
The film tells about the son of a rich merchant Foma Gordeyev, who with the help of alcohol tries to come to terms with the injustice of our world.
"Fuzzy" Jones gets a job as a driver for the Pioneer Stagecoach Company, and he learns that the stagecoach company's owners, Jeff Clark and Harland Kent, are opposing the construction of a new railroad line through the area. Jeff Clark is killed in a gunfight with some outlaws. Before he dies, he tells "Fuzzy" to send for his daughter, Susan, who is also a partner in the stage line. Little does anyone know that Kent was actually behind Jeff's murder.
Now with Jeff out of the way, Kent is scheming to steal Susan's share of the company. "Fuzzy" becomes suspicious and sends for his friend, Tom Cameron/ The Lone Rider. Smoky Moore, foreman of the proposed railroad company, is also a friend of Fuzzy's. Susan arrives in town, actually driving the stagecoach herself. Kent has his henchmen sabotage both the railroad company and the stagecoach company, and each side is blaming the other. The Lone Rider and "Fuzzy" try to find who is really causing all the trouble. It's not long before Kent frames the Lone Rider and Fuzzy for murder, forcing the two heroes to become fugitives from the law.
One year after the death of Cayde 6, ''Shadowkeep'' focuses on Eris Morn, who had departed from the Tower and remained absent since the events of the Red War that occurred two years ago. Following the events of ''Season of Opulence'', the Guardian is summoned to the Moon by Commander Zavala in response to a disturbance originating from a massive citadel recently erected by the Hive near the Hellmouth called the Scarlet Keep. As the Guardian makes their way to the keep, Ikora Rey contacts the Guardian and reveals that the disturbance was caused by Eris Morn, and asks them to find her. The Guardian enters the Scarlet Keep and descends to the caverns below in search for Eris. They eventually discover a derelict alien vessel called the Pyramid (which was teased in the final cutscene of the base game), which Eris had discovered and accidentally activated. The Guardian tries to approach the Pyramid but is pushed back by a barrier emitted by the structure. The Guardian is then suddenly attacked by a phantasmal Nightmare of Crota, Son of Oryx, and an army of Hive; it is soon joined by Nightmares of Dominus Ghaul and Fikrul, the Fanatic, and they begin to overwhelm the Guardian. Eris then contacts the Guardian and teleports them away to safety.
The Guardian is teleported to an alcove overlooking the Pyramid, where Eris is looking over the massive structure, with a phantom of a fallen Guardian floating behind her. Eris explains that the Pyramid is a remnant of the Darkness that may have been struck down by the Traveler, and asks for the Guardian's help in finding a way inside the vessel in hopes of finding something that would help prevent a second Collapse. As the Guardian investigates on how to enter the Pyramid, Eris reveals that the Hive living on the Moon have lived next to the Pyramid for eons due to its connection with the Darkness and they had recently constructed the Scarlet Keep above it as a result. The Guardian and Ghost discover that the Hive had exploited the Darkness originating from the vessel in order to control the Nightmares, phantasms created by the Darkness from the Pyramid that are manifested by the traumas of the Guardians' past and appear as enemies previously slain by Guardians; these Nightmares have begun appearing across the Moon and throughout the solar system. The Guardian then gives Eris a Nightmare essence from when they first fought the Nightmare of Crota, with which Eris forges a piece of Dreambane armor that would help protect the Guardian from the dark energies of the Pyramid and be able to bypass its barrier and enter the vessel. Eris then instructs the Guardian to defeat the Nightmare of Omnigul, Will of Crota, in order to collect more Nightmare essence, to which the Guardian does.
After defeating the Nightmare of Omnigul and extracting its essence, Eris forges another piece of Dreambane armor for the Guardian. She then instructs the Guardian to investigate the Scarlet Keep and its tower in hopes of finding more information from the Hive in order to forge more armor. The Guardian makes their way into the keep itself and finds Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota, the architect of the Scarlet Keep who is seeking revenge against the Guardian for the death of her father. The Guardian chases after Hashladûn into the keep and confronts her at the top of its tower. The Guardian defeats Hashladûn and retrieves a Hive tablet that reveals the location of a powerful Hive artifact known as the Cryptoglyph, which the Daughters of Crota have been using to protect themselves from the Pyramid's dark energies and to control the Nightmares; its powers could be used to harness Nightmare essence and craft more Dreambane armor. Eris then sends the Guardian to the bottom of the Hellmouth in order to retrieve the Cryptoglyph. The Guardian finds the Cryptoglyph near the bottom of the Pyramid, and escapes with the artifact after defeating Besurith, Daughter of Crota, and her Hive forces who were guarding it.
The Guardian returns to Eris with the Cryptoglyph, and uses it to empower Eris's Lectern of Enchantment in order to forge more Dreambane armor needed to infiltrate the Pyramid. It is then shown that more phantoms of deceased Guardians are haunting Eris while the Guardian was fulfilling tasks for her; Eris reveals that said phantoms are those of her former fireteam who previously took on Crota prior to the events of the first game. The Guardian then meets with Ikora, who had traveled to the Moon to see the alien vessel with her own eyes. She beckons the Guardian to assist Eris in fighting the Nightmares any way they can. The Guardian then defeats and extracts the essences of the Nightmares of Skolas, Kell of Kells; Taniks, the Scarred; and Phogoth, the Untamed in order to complete the full Dreambane armor set. After completing the full armor set and equipping it, the Guardian descends beneath the Scarlet Keep once more to the Pyramid, and finally manages to bypass the vessel's barrier. Ghost all of a sudden becomes possessed by the Darkness originating from the Pyramid as the Guardian is being drawn into the vessel. The Guardian makes their way through the Pyramid, defeating the Nightmares of Ghaul, the Fanatic, and Crota along the way; the Darkness also taunts the Guardian through Ghost, commenting on the Light's failures and weaknesses. The Guardian then arrives at an altar where an unknown artifact is presented to them; upon touching it, the Guardian is subjected to a vision from within the Black Garden on Mars, with a fleet of Pyramid vessels floating in the sky behind them. The Guardian then encounters the Darkness itself, taking on the form of the Guardian, claiming to be neither friend nor foe, but instead their "salvation".
Upon returning to the surface of the Moon, the Guardian gives Eris the artifact for her to study, and reports what they had encountered inside the Pyramid to the Vanguard in the Tower. Utterly suspicious of what the Darkness spoke to be their salvation, Eris, Zavala, and Ikora conclude that the Darkness is preparing for its return, with a threat of a second Collapse soon to be imminent. As the Guardian continues to work with Eris and the Vanguard to combat the lingering Nightmare threat on the Moon and across the solar system caused by the Pyramid, Eris contacts the Guardian once again and reveals that the artifact began emitting a signal that leads to the Black Garden. Despite Eris's fears that the Darkness is leading them into a trap, a fireteam of Guardians assembled by Eris invades the Black Garden through a newly discovered Vex portal beneath the lunar surface near the Scarlet Keep to follow the signal to its source ("Garden of Salvation" raid). The Guardians make their way through, tracing the artifact's signal while evading the Consecrated Mind, Sol Inherent, which they eventually destroy. They eventually discover another Pyramid-like vessel in the Black Garden's central mesa, guarded by the Sanctified Mind, Sol Inherent. They destroy the Sanctified Mind and enter the vessel, leading them to another altar similar to the one in the Pyramid, where the artifact's signal ends. The Guardian then returns to Eris, who states that the discovery of a second Pyramid-like remnant of the Darkness in the Black Garden enabled the artifact to receive messages directly from the Darkness itself. Eris dismisses these messages as attempts at manipulation, and warns the Guardian to not be swayed by whatever the artifact communicates to them.
Sometime after the invasion of the Black Garden, Eris contacts the Guardian once again, who reveals that the remaining Daughters of Crota, Voshyr and Kinox, have begun performing dark Hive rituals involving sacrificing Nightmares at the Scarlet Keep; Eris believes that the Daughters are attempting through these rituals to harvest the Nightmares' essences for purposes unknown. The Guardian heads to the Scarlet Keep and disrupts the ongoing rituals by killing several Nightmares before they can be sacrificed. Eris then instructs the Guardian to head to the Pit, located in the depths of the Scarlet Keep, to investigate further ("Pit of Heresy" dungeon). A fireteam of Guardians enter the Pit, where they fight their way through and find Zulmak, Instrument of Torment, a powerful Hive warrior who was resurrected by the Daughters of Crota and empowered by the Darkness harvested from the Nightmares. The Guardians defeat Zulmak and return to Eris afterwards, who states that the Daughters have become more dangerous than ever as they had violated the Sword Logic (the religious dogma of the Hive where only the strong survive through slaughter, death, and sacrifice) by resurrecting Zulmak. Eris fears that the Daughters will attempt to resurrect Zulmak again, and she advises the Guardian to remain vigilant.
Throughout the weeks, the Guardian also helps Eris in banishing the phantoms of her old fireteam that continually haunt her. By restoring the memorabilia that once belonged to each of the fireteam members, Eris slowly recovers from grieving over her old friends, and makes peace with their passing. As a result, the phantoms surrounding Eris gradually disappear, one each week. After enhancing the memorabilia with the Lectern of Enchantment, Eris enters the Pyramid by herself and goes to the altar where the Guardian was presented with the unknown artifact, now emitting dark energy. Eris touches the altar, seemingly absorbing the energy from it.
While the Guardian fireteam assembled by Eris invades the Black Garden tracing the unknown artifact's signal, Vex invasion portals suddenly appear on the Moon, sending forth waves upon waves of Vex from the Black Garden. The Guardian is summoned by Ikora to the Tower, stating that armies of Vex have begun invading the Moon en masse from the Black Garden in response to the Guardian fireteam's presence there. Ikora sends the Guardian to the Moon to fend off the Vex and close the invasion portals. The Guardian then speaks to Eris, who has discovered a way into their staging grounds in the Black Garden. The Guardian heads to the Black Garden and hacks the Vex gate network, hoping to slow down the Vex invasion on the Moon. After doing so, the Guardian returns to Ikora, who reveals to them that the Vex have resurrected the Undying Mind (which was the boss of its namesake strike from ''The Dark Below'') as a result of the Guardian fireteam's actions in the Black Garden. The Undying Mind's primary directive is to take control of and seal off the Black Garden from the Guardians, making copies of itself throughout thousands of alternate timelines and learning from its past mistakes. If left standing, however, the Undying Mind could use its secondary directive to attack humanity and destroy the Traveler. Ikora advises the Guardian to continue assisting in fending off and preventing further Vex incursions on the Moon and slowing down their mobilizations in the Black Garden while she devises a plan to find the Undying Mind and end the invasion once and for all.
Over the course of several weeks, Ikora sets her plan in motion by constructing a portal that would be used to summon one of the thousands of copies of the Undying Mind, all while the Guardian continues to push back the Vex and slow down their incursions in the Black Garden. After Ikora completes construction on the portal, the Guardian returns to the Black Garden for their latest offensive against the Vex and summons the completed portal. The portal summons the Undying Mind, which the Guardian successfully destroys. As this was only one of thousands of copies of the Undying Mind that was destroyed, the Guardian, with the help of Ikora, continues to invade the Black Garden and continually destroys the copies one by one until every last one of them has been destroyed for good.
After the defeat of the Undying Mind, Ikora alerts the Guardian that her spy network, the Hidden, has uncovered unusual Cabal Red Legion activity on Mercury. She suspects that her former mentor, the exiled Warlock Osiris is somehow at the heart of it, but has been unable to contact him, and so sends the Guardian to Mercury to find him. Arriving on Mercury, the Guardian finds Osiris at the summit of a massive time machine known as the Sundial, built by Osiris in a failed effort to rescue his closest ally, the legendary Titan, Saint-14, who was killed by the Vex while searching for Osiris in the Infinite Forest. Osiris explains that he witnessed a simulation of a dark future within the Forest as a result of the Undying Mind's defeat by the Guardian; upon returning to reality, he found that a trio of Red Legion Psion Flayers—Niruul, the Hollow Voice; Ozletc, the Sky Piercer; and Tazaroc, the Sun Eater—had taken control of the Sundial and were using it to change history, so that the Legion would emerge victorious in the Red War. Their brute-force attempts to use the Sundial resulted in time becoming fractured on Mercury, and Osiris enlists the Guardian's help to prevent the time fractures from spreading. Osiris dispatches the Guardian to the Tangled Shore to find an obelisk linked to the Sundial, reclaim the parts to repair it from the Cabal there, and then charge it with Light to activate it. Once done, Osiris sends the Guardian to use the Sundial and shut down the timelines created by the Cabal in order to properly calibrate it. Upon defeating the first Flayer, Niruul, the Guardian recovers a strangely-phased object which they deliver to Osiris. In return, Osiris gives the Guardian his Lantern to help them in the battles to come.
With aid from the Guardian, Osiris discovers that the phased object was in fact Saint's shotgun, the Perfect Paradox. Following a unique frequency attuned to the weapon, the Guardian is able to use the Sundial to travel through the Corridors of Time to try and find Saint before he is killed by the Vex. Instead, the Guardian arrives to find Saint in his first off-world mission, fighting Fallen on Mercury, centuries before the events of the first game. After the Fallen are defeated, the Guardian shows Saint a vision of the Last City in order to inspire him to be the hero he would become in the future, and gives him the Perfect Paradox, resulting in a bootstrap paradox: the weapon had actually been crafted by the Guardian themselves at the Infinite Forge on Mercury (played out in a side story in ''Curse of Osiris''), so that they could deliver it to Saint in the past. After the Guardian activates further obelisks on Mars, Earth, and Nessus, Osiris receives a distress signal from Saint's Ghost inside the Vex network, and sends the Guardian to Nessus to enter the network and find it. Upon recovering the dead Ghost and recharging the Sundial, the Guardian again uses it to travel through the Corridors of Time, managing to arrive at the proper moment. Saint's Light has already been drained by Agioktis, Martyr Mind, who was originally responsible for the Titan's death. The Martyr Mind traps Saint in a Vex loop as it fights the Guardian; after a pitched battle, the Guardian manages to weaken it before it traps the Guardian, which releases Saint from his own trap to deliver the final blow. His survival now assured with the death of Agioktis, Saint asks the Guardian to open a gate for him in their own time, while he spends the years in between smashing through the Vex in the Infinite Forest. Returning to their present, the Guardian opens the gateway from the Forest, allowing Saint to return to reality. Grateful that the Guardian was able to do what he could not, Osiris remarks that the world that Saint knew has changed dramatically, and asks the Guardian to guide him. Saint eventually returns to the Tower, where he and the Guardian build the Tower Obelisk (connecting to the obelisk network) to guide "those who are lost" to the city, and to memorialize the lost colonists of the Golden Age.
Determined to seize control of the Sundial, Niruul, Ozletc, and Tazaroc attempt a melding ritual, combining their physical and mental forms to become Inotam, Oblivion's Triune. The Guardians engage Inotam in the Corridors of Time and defeat them for the final time. They then recover the Sundial's core, rendering it useless in the process, and later install it in the Tower Obelisk. Saint also begins requesting Guardians to make donations of polarized fractaline to the Tower Obelisk for the Empyrean Foundation, a restoration project of the original Lighthouse on Mercury. Upon acquiring sufficient donations, the Guardian then travels to Mercury and uses Osiris' Lantern as a base to light a beacon, beginning the construction of the new Lighthouse. Meanwhile, on Mars, Osiris enters the Mindlab of the Warmind Rasputin, weapon ready in hand. As he approaches Rasputin's control panel, Osiris claims the Warmind to be a "thug, murderer and betrayer", questioning his true allegiance.
After the defeat of the Red Legion at the Sundial, the Psion Flayers had entrusted their youngest sibling Amtec with the task of avenging them, to which she had the Almighty, the Cabal superweapon and space station, moving out of its positioned orbit near the Sun. Zavala and Ana Bray both infiltrate the Almighty, where they discover that the Legion have disabled its systems and send it adrift on a crash course towards the Last City in a final bid to destroy humanity. Zavala summons the Guardian to the Tower and informs them of such; with no other way to stop the Almighty from crashing into the Last City, he asks the Guardian to visit Ana on Mars, who believes that the Warmind Rasputin is able to prevent the catastrophe. The Guardian travels to Mars and speaks to Ana, who advises them that she needs the Guardian's help in convincing Rasputin to activate his defense systems, despite the Vanguard having reservations in arming the Warmind. The Guardian goes to Rasputin's Mindlab, where the Warmind himself agrees to help the Guardian, and gives them an artifact, the Khanjali, to help them in the battles to come.
Rasputin opens a Seraph Bunker in the European Dead Zone, where the Guardian travels to and encounters him again deep within. As the bunker needs to be manually activated and armed, Ana advises the Guardian to activate a Seraph Tower nearby in order to do so. After activating the Seraph Tower and launching an ordnance satellite into space, the Guardian returns to the bunker where the Fallen have invaded its control room, overwhelming both Zavala and Ana. The Guardian clears out the bunker and speaks to both Ana and Zavala afterwards, where they both argue whether or not Rasputin can be trusted to defend humanity. The Guardian then activates the bunker and its defense systems, ready to further arm the Warmind.
After fully upgrading the Seraph Bunker in the EDZ, Rasputin opens two more bunkers on the Moon and Io, respectively, where the Guardian travels to and activates them and their defense systems. As the Guardian enters the Io bunker, however, they encounter Zavala speaking to Rasputin directly inside the bunker's control room. Zavala questions the Warmind's motives as he is shown a holographic map of the solar system, revealing that the fleet of Pyramid vessels (previously seen in ''Shadowkeep'' s base campaign) have already entered the Solar System from dark space and are closing in on Earth and the Traveler. Rasputin then takes control of Zavala's Ghost, revealing to the Titan Vanguard that the Warmind had attempted to protect humanity during the Collapse but ultimately failed. In light of this revelation, Zavala changes his opinion and reservations about the Warmind, allowing both him and Rasputin to settle their differences as they vow to work together to destroy the Almighty and push back the Darkness.
Sometime later, Ana contacts the Guardian, who advises them that Rasputin had detected strange signals coming from the Iron Temple. The Guardian travels to the Vostok Crucible arena on Felwinter Peak, where they discover several pieces of technology dating back to the Dark Age that contained stark revelations about Rasputin—sometime after the Collapse, the Warmind sent out combat frames to hunt down a certain Exo, while he also once dropped an entire Warsat to contain an unknown threat in Old Russia. SIVA was also referenced in one of the pieces, suggesting that Rasputin actually used SIVA as bait to lure the Iron Lords to their doom (as depicted in ''Rise of Iron''). Rasputin later summons the Guardian to the lunar Seraph Bunker, where he uses several holograms to tell a story of a "tyrant and his son", with the "tyrant" heavily implied to be Rasputin himself, and the "son" being the Iron Lord Felwinter. It is revealed that Felwinter, an Exo himself, was sent by Rasputin to live among humanity so that the Warmind could learn their ways; following the Collapse, however, Felwinter betrayed Rasputin after he was resurrected as a Guardian, and was hunted down subsequently. Eventually, Rasputin lured Felwinter to his death by promising him SIVA, which he could have used to rebuild the world, which the Warmind eventually came to regret doing. The Guardian travels deeper into the bunker, where they find an old casing of a safety AI, marked with Rasputin's insignia, as well as a sarcophagus containing Felwinter's signature weapon, the Felwinter's Lie shotgun. After acquiring the shotgun, Ana contacts the Guardian, and both of them learn that Rasputin was originally a safety AI for an emergency response system for pre-Golden Age space stations, which was turned into a sentient interplanetary defense system by Clovis Bray. Rasputin's true nature was also revealed to both Ana and the Guardian, revealing that, through Felwinter, Rasputin developed human-like emotion and had shown deep remorse for his actions.
As the Almighty finally appears above Earth's skyline, Rasputin activates his defenses and launches a barrage of missiles at the Cabal space station. The ship explodes mid-air and crashes into the mountains in the outskirts of the Last City, though the Tower is partially damaged in the process. Meanwhile, the Pyramid fleet is shown passing by Jupiter, making their final approach towards Earth and the Traveler.
After the destruction of the Almighty, Ana Bray and Rasputin continue tracking the Darkness as its Black Fleet make their way through the Solar System. Rasputin tries to destroy an incoming Pyramid as it approaches Io but fails to do so, and gets disabled in the process. Zavala then contacts the Guardian, who sends them to Io to find Eris Morn and bring her back to the Tower in response to the approaching Darkness. The Guardian lands on Io and sees a Pyramid hovering over the Cradle, a city-like structure created by the Traveler prior to the Collapse. The Guardian and Ghost are transported between Io and the throne world of Savathûn, the Witch Queen, as they search for Eris, eventually finding her at the heart of the Cradle under a mysterious arboreal structure called the Tree of Silver Wings. Eris then beckons the Guardian to take one of its Seeds from the Tree as Savathûn's influence prevents her from doing so. With the Seed, the Guardian is able to free Eris and bring her to the Tower.
Eris explains to Zavala that the Darkness had summoned her to Io, but Savathûn had interfered; the Seed the Guardian collected broke that interference. Eris insists on returning to Io to commune more withe Darkness to prevent a second Collapse, and Zavala orders the Guardian to help Eris. With the Drifter's help, the Guardian is able to charge the Seed with Dark energy from the Pyramids, allowing the Drifter's machinery to form weapons and armor powered by the Darkness to help their fight against Savathûn's Taken and Hive. As Eris communicates more with the Darkness about their goals and repeats these messages to the Guardian, more Pyramid ships from the Black Fleet appear above Mars, Mercury, and Titan, and the Vanguard fend off further Taken and Hive incursions at these locations.
The Drifter offers the Guardian to learn more about the true nature of the Darkness by visiting the realm of the Nine, despite Eris' objections. Via a portal leading to the haul on the Drifter's ship, the Derelict, a fireteam of Guardians enter the realm of the Nine and chase down an echo of a Fallen Kell, resembling that of Eramis, the Shipstealer, through familiar portions of parts of Io, Mars, Mercury, and Titan ("Prophecy" dungeon). Eventually, the Guardians defeat the Kell Echo, using a combined effort of Light and Darkness. The Drifter deduces the answer from the Nine: that Light and Darkness are different in nature, but irrelevant in morality.
More and more Pyramids appear in the affected planets. Zavala, believing that the Guardians must take this matter into their own hands, instructs the Guardian to travel to the invaded planets and meet up with their allies, convincing them to evacuate. The Guardian proceeds to help out Deputy Commander Sloane, Asher Mir, Brother Vance, and Ana Bray in making preparations for the exodus. Several weeks later, the Guardian contacts the allies once more to gather them at the Tower. Ana agrees to join them back on Earth after storing Rasputin's core into an engram, but the others refuse to leave: Sloane wants to go down fighting, Asher is interested in learning more about the Darkness and takes refuge inside Io's Pyramidion, while Vance evacuates into the Infinite Forest anticipating to meet Osiris again.
Sometime later, the Guardian returns to the Cradle on Io to help Eris decipher one last message from the Darkness. Upon being teleported to Savathûn's throne world, however, they are greeted by Nokris, the estranged son of Oryx and the former Herald of Xol who had allied with Savathûn as her supplicant. The Guardian defeats Nokris for the final time and Eris prepares to transport the Guardian back to the Tree of Silver Wings. However, the Darkness possesses Ghost once again and teleports the Guardian to a shrine with a statue of a Pyramid ship, surrounded by effigies of Guardians, Cabal, Fallen, and Hive. The Darkness, through Ghost, once again taunts the Guardian, declaring that an "ancient power" is awaiting them on Jupiter's moon Europa.
At the conclusion of the season, the Guardian returns to the Last City in response to a disturbance coming from the Traveler. They make their way through the city's streets to get a better view, where they witness the Traveler healing itself of its wounds (incurred during The Red War three years prior) in response to the Darkness' presence. Soon, multiple Guardians are shown gathering in the commercial district of the Last City to witness the phenomenon. Eris then contacts the Guardian, commenting that the Traveler healing itself would not result in the end of the conflict between the Light and the Darkness, but escalate it. The Darkness soon consumes Io, Titan, Mercury, and Mars, as a fully healed Traveler unleashes a wave of Light to push it back.
The events of ''Destiny 2: Beyond Light'' follow.
Silverado is a faraway land where simple folk, reckless cowboys and tough outlaws alike seek to go. But not everyone can get there - the long journey is fraught with many dangers. Only he who manages not to lose heart in a difficult moment, who is only the fastest and bravest can see Silverado.
After the Four Horsemen have attacked and decimated the Nephilim in Eden, they are summoned by the Charred Council. The Council suspects that the demon king Lucifer is planning something with Samael to upset the Balance and orders War and Strife to investigate. After invading Samael's keep, they find it under attack from another Master of Hell, albeit a lesser one: Moloch. Samael informs them that he is not in league with Lucifer and the current attack on him is the result of that. Before he can say anything else, Moloch attacks and Samael teleports the Horsemen to the Void to find and talk to his associate.
The Horsemen travel through the Void and find Vulgrim to be the associate Samael spoke of. Vulgrim informs them he can help track down Lucifer but he needs several artifacts. After collecting the required artifacts Vulgrim informs them that Lucifer has paid a visit to Mammon, another Master of Hell. Samael arrives at this point and suggests that the Horsemen find Mammon and make him talk about Lucifer. They find Mammon with several relics and weapons from Eden. After killing him, the Horsemen return to Vulgrim and Samael where they learn that Lucifer has opened a path to Eden, bringing its sacred water and turning it into poison. The demon Belial is in charge of this operation. After stopping the operation, they confront and defeat Belial but spare him. But after the Horsemen leave, Lucifer arrives and punishes him.
The Horsemen learn that Dagon, the Drowned King is also helping Lucifer as Lucifer has offered Eden to him. Meanwhile, they meet Abaddon, the guardian angel of Eden. He informs them that Lucifer is spreading corruption and asks them to help him cleanse Eden. Afterwards, the Horsemen track down and kill Dagon. They return to the Void and Samael advises them to destroy the source of Moloch's power before they attack him. They do so and together with Samael, they attack and kill Moloch. However, before his death, Moloch tells them that Lucifer's plan is complete and Samael knows about it.
After returning to the Void, Samael tells the Horsemen that Lucifer had asked for the souls of the Masters of Hell after their death in exchange for their services. Samael also tells them that Lilith is plotting with Lucifer as well and together they have made an artifact called the "Animus" which is fueled by the souls of the Masters of Heaven and Hell who had accepted Lucifer's offer. This artifact is used on Earth to corrupt mankind, turning them into the volatile and self-destructive species they grow to become later on. The Horsemen go to Earth to find mankind living in sin and realize that they have helped Lucifer achieve his goal. Lucifer talks to them through a human child and tells the Horsemen that the corruption of humankind is spreading and cannot be stopped.
Afterwards, they return to the Charred Council who declares that humankind needs to be watched as a Third Kingdom. They then forge the Seven Seals as a treaty to uphold the balance between Heaven and Hell: three of them coming from the demonic planes and three more coming from the angelic keeps and one from the Council itself. They declare whoever breaks the treaty shall suffer the wrath of the Horsemen, setting the stage for the future games.

In the kingdom of Illyria, second-born royal Sam argues against the monarchy with her friend Mike by performing rock music on the streets. Her older sister, Eleanor, is to succeed their mother Catherine to the throne following the death of their father and uncle. While spending the night out with Mike, Sam suddenly begins to experience an over-stimulation of her senses while at an underground concert and gets herself and Mike arrested when she sets off the fire sprinklers. The next day, she is informed by Catherine that she is to take summer school to make up for missing her history test.
Sam attends summer school alongside eagerly friendly January, quiet and socially awkward Matteo, conceited and popular Tuma and social networking and pompous Roxana. Their teacher is Professor James Morrow who reveals that they are not there to take summer school, but instead are to be trained to join the Secret Society of Second-Born Royals, a group of superpowered individuals dedicated to protecting the world and serving the various monarchies. Morrow reveals that he has the ability to multiply himself and that Catherine is a member as well, shocking Sam.

She wants Edmond to kill her brother so that she can take the throne to her kingdom. Matteo manages to send a bee to warn Sam and she recruits Mike, while also apologizing and revealing her secret. Sam and Mike manage to take out January and regroup with the rest of the Society to stop Edmond, who plans on using a device that will take out everyone with royal blood.

Sam, Matteo, Roxana and Tuma are inducted into the Society as Morrow recovers from his injuries. Catherine reveals the Society to Eleanor, who promises that her first order as queen will be to add parliament to their government. January has escaped and is now daring the Society to come and find her, and they leave by jet on their next mission.

Will is an arbiter who judges souls before they inhabit bodies in the living. He lives in an isolated house in the middle of a desert landscape, interviewing candidate souls for the opportunity to be born. If they are not selected, Will gives them an experience of their choosing to enact before their existence is erased. His only company is Kyo, who acts as a sort of supervisor making sure Will selects the best candidate and assisting him with the process. Unlike Will, who spent a previous lifetime as a living being, Kyo was never alive. Will spends his days watching and taking notes on a multitude of television screens, each displaying the life of a different individual that Will has previously selected. His favorite is Amanda, a 28-year-old violin prodigy. While observing Amanda drive to a major concert, Will sees her suddenly speed on the highway. Amanda crashes into an overpass and dies.
As Will grapples with Amanda's death, candidates begin arriving to interview for the vacancy Amanda left behind, a process that will take nine days. He asks the candidates simple questions about life and has them take notes on what they like or dislike about the lives of others who were chosen. Will is particularly intrigued by Emma, who displays heightened empathy and curiosity despite showing little interest in the selection process. Over the course of the nine days, most of the candidates are dismissed for various reasons, such as self-consciousness and lack of respect for suffering. Will does his best to recreate life events for the failed candidates, such as walking on the beach or bike-riding through a city, before the candidates disappear forever.
Kyo invites another nearby interviewer to meet with Will, as she had previously selected Amanda's cousin for birth. She shows Will a tape shortly after Amanda's death, which reveals that Amanda left behind a suicide note before her crash. Kyo attempts to help Will get over her death, but Will continues to watch tapes from her life, unable to understand why she did it. Will has told Emma that he cannot tell her anything about his previous life, but in response to her showing concern for him, he now indicates that in his previous life he once gave a theater performance that made him feel alive, but never pursued his passion after that. He reacts angrily when another candidate, Alex, points out Will's hypocrisy for judging people's lives when he never did anything meaningful with his own life.
The candidates are narrowed down to two: Emma and Kane. While Emma is carefree and sees the best in people, Kane is more pessimistic, recognizing the evil in the world and showing resolve to fight back against it. Despite Kyo recommending that Will pick Emma, he chooses Kane to be born. When Will offers Emma a last experience, she writes something down that Will says he cannot do. Emma then declines a last experience and opts to walk across the desert until she disappears. Will later finds a note from Emma where she thanks him and explains she wrote happy memories she had during the interview process. Will finds them written all over the house. Feeling regret, he runs across the desert after Emma, passionately recites selections from Walt Whitman’s ''Song of Myself'', and thanks her.

Prince Selius (introduced in ''Nine Parchments'') had aptitude for magic, but misused his father's spellbook, releasing the shadow of his soul and destroying his family's castle. His parents therefore sent him away to the Astral Academy, but the Academy wizards were unable to control the prince's nightmare magic and he eventually escapes. Amadeus the wizard, Pontius the knight and Zoya the thief are tasked by the Academy headmaster to bring Selius back. At first the trio tries to convince him to return, but Selius refuses, revealing that the Academy simply locked him in the dungeons. His unstable shadow magic causes his own nightmares, those of the heroes, and even the inhabitants of the wilderness to manifest physically, and Selius flees.
While tracking the prince, the trio helps the creatures of the wilderness in fighting their nightmares and in return three nature spirits give them a potion of light, which should help Selius—it does, but it also empowers Selius's shadow, since the brighter the light, the deeper the shadow it casts. The trio assists Selius in fighting his shadow; ultimately, the prince is able to use the power of light to seal his shadow back into his soul. His magic now stabilized, he agrees to return to the Astral Academy.
Some time after returning Prince Selius to the Astral Academy, some of the students (all first seen in ''Nine Parchments'') began rehearsing for an autumn play. One of them, Cornelius, stumbles upon a magic music box, accidentally releasing a spirit known as Melody, who traps the students in a magical dream where their wishes come true. Selius, unaffected thanks to his own dream magic, summons the heroes of Trine into the dream world, seeking their assistance. The heroes traverse the students' dreams, and learn that Melody is a genie-in-training who uses dreams as a way to grant wishes, not understanding that it is harmful for humans to sleep forever. The heroes successfully wake up all the students except Cornelius, who is so attached to his dream that he must be forced to awaken.

Throughout the episode, viewers see subsequent flashbacks to June's detainment in a facility with other fertile women who are beaten and indoctrinated to believe that their destiny is to please God through being "handmaids"—women who are chosen to bear children for powerful couples who are infertile. Punishment is severe and strict for these women but also any other dissenters: academics, doctors, religious minorities (such as Catholics), and homosexuals.
In the present day, June is assigned to a new family and given the name "Offred"—all handmaids' names change to a construction "Of __", named after the male head of a household. Commander Fred Waterford is a powerful member of the ruling insurgency in Gilead. Offred is assigned mundane chores such as grocery shopping, and is periodically raped in "The Ceremony" wherein Waterford attempts to impregnate June while his wife Serena restrains her. Any time she is in public, she must wear modest clothing and refrain from eye contact with men; she is constantly accompanied by another handmaid called "Ofglen", whom June despises for Ofglen's piety. The streets are lined with armed guards and conspicuous black vans who abduct criminals in plain view to terrorize the populace.
One day, June and Ofglen attend a public ceremony at which a man accused of rape is to be killed. Handmaids are encouraged to savagely beat him in a "particicution" led by Aunt Lydia, the woman who abused them in the flashbacks. Offred gives into violent impulses and takes charge, kicking him to death. As she and Ofglen leave, Ofglen reveals that she does not believe in the theocratic cult ruling their lives and warns Offred that Offred's household has a spy known as an "Eye" who may report anything suspicious. This revelation empowers Offred to remember that her true name is June and to resolve to find Hannah.

It’s the last Christmas party of 1980 in New York City, Saul Karoo, a script doctor - and the narrator - spends the Christmas party finding a way to avoid taking his adopted teenage son, Billy, home with him. He succeeds by bringing a younger, drunken woman home instead. It becomes quickly apparent that Karoo struggles with intimacy, alcoholism and hypochondria. He believes he “no longer has his health” for this reason he no longer has health insurance. he also believes no matter how much he drinks he is not able to become drunk.
Karoo regularly meets with his wife, Dinah, to make divorce arrangements. These have been taking place over a long period of time and has become as much a new kind of relationship as it is the end of an old, failing one.
Jay Cromwell, a big shot movie producer, who Karoo has previously worked for, contacts Karoo to do some doctoring on a new script. This time on an Arthur Houseman - who is considered a veteran director - script, Karoo is aware that a previous project he did with Cromwell ended in a directors suicide. But he is asked to “think about it” and is told there is “no rush”.
Left with the tape as an incentive to change his mind, Karoo watches the movie. He realises now that the movie is a master piece, the movie doesn’t need editing. But things change when he is convinced that one of the actresses is the biological mother of Billy. He believes that the actress voice shares the same voice of the young woman he had talked to over the phone when he spoke to Billy’s mother before his birth.
Karoo heads to Venice Beach to track the actress down. Eventually it is confirmed that Leila Miller (the actress) is in fact Billy’s biological mother. She doesn’t recognise Billy or Karoo as she hasn’t seen Billy since his birth and only had one phone conversation with Karoo years ago.
We find Leila is haunted by the memory of giving up her child and still unaware of the facts, she and Karoo fall in love. For this reason Karoo attempts to fix the Arthur Houseman movie to make Leila the star, at the price of ruining the master piece he considered the original cut to be.
Billy and Leila started to fall for one another, still unaware of the true connection between them. But Karoo has a plan, at the first screening of the new movie as Leila becomes a star he will also tell them both the truth about their relation to one another.
On the morning of the screening they take a trip, which ends in a road accident. With Karoo at the wheel, their car crashed into an oncoming vehicle, killing both Leila and Billy and leaving Karoo unconscious in a hospital bed for days.
Upon waking Karoo learns that both his girlfriend and son are now dead and the movie was a hit. Leila, though posthumously, was now a star. Karoo at this point no longer narrates the book, he is merely spoken of in the third person now.
Finally Karoo is asked by the relentless Cromwell to turn his exposé about the accident into a screenplay for a movie.
The scene is the drawing-room of the Paris residence of the Vatelins. Pontagnac, although married to a beautiful wife, is a rake who obsessively pursues women. In pursuit of the highly respectable Mme Lucienne Vatelin he intrudes into her drawing room and becomes so pressing that she calls for her husband. Vatelin recognises Pontagnac as one of his club friends; an explanation follows, and Pontagnac apologises profusely, but is still powerfully attracted to Lucienne. She tells him that he is wasting his time pursuing her: she is devoted to Vatelin and as long as he is faithful to her, she will be faithful to him. Moreover, in the unlikely event that Vatelin should ever stray, she has her own preferred candidate as partner in her revenge, a nice young man called Rédillon, whom she finds attractive, despite his red beard.
Pontagnac's wife, Clotilde, holds views similar to those of her friend Lucienne: if ever she catches her husband straying, she will take her revenge with an attractive young man. It happens that the young man she has in mind is Rédillon. Pontagnac is unaware of this. Vatelin, though no Adonis – he is short and tubby – is the unwilling object of the passionate devotion of Madame Meggy Soldignac. She is an Englishwoman whom he met while in London on business. She has pursued him to Paris, and threatens to kill herself unless he consents to meet her at the Ultimus Hotel. He reluctantly agrees. Pontagnac, learning of this, sees Vatelin's liaison as his opportunity to overcome Lucienne's resistance.
The scene is Room 39 of the Ultimus Hotel. The room that Meggy has reserved is much in demand, and is double-booked in error. It is occupied in rapid succession by Rédillon and an attractive cocotte, Armandine, and then by Major Pinchard – an army surgeon – and his wife, who is deaf. The latter, being unwell, goes to bed, while the major leaves the room to prepare a hot poultice for her. Vatelin enters stealthily, and gets into the bed, where he supposes Meggy is expecting him. Immediately electric bells ring at terrific volume. Pontagnac, who is lying in wait with Lucienne in the adjoining room to witness her husband's misconduct, has placed an apparatus under the mattress to trigger the bells. The room becomes the scene of chaos, the major applies the hot poultice to Vatelin by mistake, vengeful spouses, including Meggy's, come and go, and a brawl ensues when two different policemen attempt to arrest Pontagnac for improper conduct.
Lucienne calls on Rédillon at his bachelor flat, intending to get him into bed to revenge herself on her husband, but Rédillon is too fatigued from his demanding nocturnal activities with Armandine. Clotilde arrives, on the same mission as Lucienne, but Rédillon cannot oblige. Pontagnac arrives in pursuit of Lucienne and is ignored. Vatelin enters, followed by a policeman whom he wants to witness an adultery ''in flagrante delicto''. Vatelin confesses to Rédillon that he is still in love with his wife and, when he learns that nothing has happened between the alleged lovers, he sobs with relief and pleasure. Lucienne overhears and falls into her husband's arms. Everyone is content, except for Pontagnac, who realises that he himself is the "dindon" – the "fall guy".

At the realm of Calaglia, a masked Dahnan slave with no memories of his past, nicknamed "Iron Mask", gets himself involved with the Crimson Crows when they rescue a Renan girl called Shionne Vymer Imeris Daymore, whom he finds familiar, from imprisonment. Shionne is afflicted with a curse (known as "thorns") that hurts anyone who touches her. While evading their pursuers, the slave manages to pull a blazing sword from the Master Core in Shionne's possession and use it to repel the Renan forces. As only Iron Mask can wield the sword due to his lack of sense of pain, he and Shionne form an alliance to take down the five Lords and gather the other Master Cores they possess. With help from the Crimson Crows, the pair confront and defeat Calaglia's Lord, Balseph. In the occasion, the slave's mask partially breaks and he remembers his name, "Alphen". After liberating Calaglia, Alphen, Shionne and the Crimson Crows' leader Zephyr depart to the realm of Cyslodia, guided by Rinwell, a mage and member of the Silver Swords. Once arriving there, Zephyr is captured by agents serving the local Lord Ganabelt Valkyris, led by Zephyr's son Law. Having a change of heart once his father is sentenced to a public execution, Law assists Alphen and the others in an attempt to rescue Zephyr who ends up being killed by Ganabelt himself. Law joins Alphen, Shionne and Rinwell to avenge his father and the four confront and kill Ganabelt.
The party then sets to Elde Menancia, a realm whose Lord, Dohalim il Qaras, abolished slavery and encourages Renans and Dahnans to coexist. However, they learn from the dying Migal, leader of the Golden Dust Cats about a plot from Dohalim's aide Kelzalik to drain the astral energy of the Dahnans in secret by poisoning them for his own gains. Accompanied by Migal's sister, the Dahnan knight Kisara, Alphen and the others stop Kelzalik's plans and Dohalim sentences him to exile, before renouncing his Lordship and joining the party with Kisara. At the realm of Mahag Saar, the party discovers that the Dark Wings overthrew the local Lord, Almeidrea Kaineris, who is in hiding. While looking for Almeidrea, Shionne confesses to the others that her objective is to collect all the Lords' Master Cores to create the ultimate Master Core, "Renas Alma", in order to get rid of her curse. Upon news that Almeidrea was captured, the party attends her public execution just to discover that she took advantage of the situation to lay a trap for the Dark Wings and kill them while extracting their astral energy before escaping. In the occasion, Rinwell recognizes Almeidrea as the Lord who killed her parents.
By lending a boat, the party boards Almeidrea's battleship and defeat her in combat, when the Lord of Ganath Haros, Vholran Igniseri, appears and kills Almeidrea before attacking Alphen. During their fight, the rest of Alphen's mask is destroyed, unlocking his memories and restoring his sense of pain before the enemy retreats, taking Shionne captive. Once in safety, Alphen reveals to the others that he was a test subject for Renan experiments 300 years ago, preceding the invasion, and forced to take part in the "Spirit Channeling Ceremony" with a Renan maiden called Naori Imeris who is an ancestor of Shionne's, using the Renas Alma. However, the ceremony failed, causing countless deaths and it was Naori who put the mask on Alphen to seal his memories before sending him back to Dahna in a spaceship, his body preserved in cold sleep before he awakened one year ago. The party storms Vholran's castle, where they reunite with Shionne and defeat Vholran, securing all the Lords' Master Cores. A mysterious being appears before the party, using a sixth Master Core in her possession to absorb the astral energy of the other cores to form the Renas Alma and flees with it and Vholran's body.
During the following month, Alphen and the others help the citizens of Ganath Haros to rebuild until a bio-mechanical structure sent by the Renans begins draining the astral energy of Dahna directly and sending it to Rena's moon Lenegis. To prevent Dahna's destruction, the party infiltrates the structure and manages to temporarily shut it down. Searching for answers, the group locates Alphen's spaceship, restore it, then travel to Lenegis, where they discover that Vholran, who is still alive and the Renas Alma are in custody of the Helganquil, alien beings who are the true inhabitants of Rena, who intend to use them to reenact the Spirit Channeling Ceremony, whose real purpose is to drain all Astral Energy from Dahna. They also learn that the human Renans living on Lenegis are descendants of Dahnans kidnapped from their home planet to take part in the Helganquil's plan to funnel Dahna's Astral Energy to Rena's Great Spirit, who had already drained all the energy from Rena and killed almost all life in the planet.
The party launches an attack on Rena where they confront and defeat the Great Spirit, destroying its core and retrieving the Renas Alma. However, when Alphen and Shionne begin the ceremony to seal it, Vholran attacks them, stealing the Renas Alma and challenging Alphen to a duel while Shionne seals the Great Spirit inside her body. Alphen defeats Vholran who refuses to concede and instead commit suicide by blowing himself up together with the Renas Alma, destroying it. Shionne asks Alphen to kill her to destroy the Great Spirit, but Alphen instead calls for the Great Spirit of Dahna's help and together, they stop the destruction of both planets by fusing them into one single world while saving Shionne by getting rid of her thorns. Some time after the battle, Alphen and Shionne get married, as they and their friends enjoy new lives in a world where Renans and Dahnans live in peace.
Early on in their journey to repair the Elden Ring, the Tarnished encounters a Maiden named Melina. As the Tarnished is Maidenless, Melina offers to act as their Maiden, granting them the ability to turn runes into strength, as well as giving the Tarnished her steed Torrent. She does this under the condition that the Tarnished brings her to the Erdtree, the home of the Elden Ring. Melina later takes the Tarnished to the Roundtable Hold, a gathering place for other Tarnished seeking to repair the Elden Ring. The Tarnished is instructed by the Hold's benefactor, the Two Fingers, to collect the Great Runes and bring them to the Erdtree, where they can be used to repair the Elden Ring.
The Tarnished proceeds to journey into the Lands Between, investigating its various locales and defeating the demigods. The Tarnished soon recovers enough Great Runes so that the Two Fingers allows them to battle Morgott the Grace-Given, the demigod guarding the Erdtree. As he dies, Morgott claims that the Erdtree will not allow anyone to enter it, making the Elden Ring irreparable. The Tarnished confirms this when they approach the Erdtree and find the interior blocked by a wall of thorns. Melina then arrives and advises that they journey to find the Flame of Ruin, which they can use to set the Erdtree on fire and burn away the thorns. The Tarnished is then free to journey towards the Flame of Ruin, or can search for a way to harness the equally powerful Frenzied Flame.
Upon obtaining the Flame of Ruin, if the Tarnished did not gain the power of the Frenzied Flame, then Melina will take the Flame of Ruin and sacrifice herself to set the Erdtree on fire. If the Tarnished gained the power of the Frenzied Flame, then Melina will abandon the Tarnished, forcing them to use the Frenzied Flame to set the Erdtree on fire. Regardless, the Tarnished is transported to the ruined city of Farum Azula while the Erdtree burns. After defeating Maliketh the Black Blade and using his Rune of Death to fuel the fire, the Tarnished is returned to the foot of the scorched Erdtree. Inside, they fight the reanimated remains of Queen Marika's consort Radagon, as well as the guardian of the tree, the Elden Beast. After both are vanquished, the Tarnished gains access to Marika's shattered corpse, which contains the remains of the Elden Ring. Depending on the Tarnished's actions throughout the game, six different endings can then be achieved, ranging from the Tarnished becoming the Elden Lord, to allowing the Elden Ring to be destroyed by Ranni the Witch, or using the Frenzied Flame to destroy the Lands Between.
Awakening from a dream where he is murdered by an unknown woman, later revealed to be the head of security, Julianna Blake, Colt Vahn suddenly wakes up hungover on a beach with no memories of himself or where he is. However, he receives guidance from messages and meetings from alternate versions of himself, instructing him to break the time loop he is trapped in. In order to do this, he must kill all eight Visionaries before time loops at the end of the day. Complicating matters is Julianna Blake, who warns the Visionaries and their followers, the Eternalists, of Colt's plan and calls for him to be hunted down. Julianna also taunts Colt to try and break the loop, even though she works to stop him. Soon, Colt finds that unlike the other inhabitants of the island, he has gained the ability to retain his memories across loops, allowing him to better plan and prepare for his ultimate goal of breaking the loop. He also learns that Julianna appears to retain her memories across loops, as well.
While Colt is able to come up with a plan to kill seven of the Visionaries, Julianna remains the most elusive, choosing to hide in the Loop, the structure that powers Blackreef's time loops. The only way to reach the Loop is to use an abandoned rocket plane left behind by the military, so Colt begins investigating all of the old bunkers littered across the island. He eventually comes to learn that he was one of the members of Operation Horizon, the original military expedition to Blackreef decades earlier, but was accidentally sent into the future due to an experiment gone awry. Colt then joined the AEON Program in hopes of finding a way to travel back to the past and reunite with his girlfriend Lila. However, as a consequence of being sent to the future, he discovers that Julianna is in fact his daughter. Colt manages to activate the rocket plane and reach the Loop, where he confronts Julianna directly. Julianna claims that things started to go wrong when Colt, having had second thoughts about the AEON Program, started murdering her in every loop in an effort to free her from it. Julianna eventually grew to hate Colt and began to retaliate, culminating in her starting to hunt him in every loop. Julianna then presents Colt with a choice: kill her and break the loop to suffer whatever uncertain future occurs afterwards, or spare her so they can continue living eternally through the loops.

Aiman (Syamsul Yusof) is a street painter who suffers from Anton-Babinski disease from birth. His life became uncertain after being overwhelmed by various problems in life until he almost gave up in life. As we can see at the beginning of the story, Aiman wakes up from sleep and walks in one place after another and then stands in front of the National Palace. He then drove a Lamborghini car and headed to a clothing store and put on a coat. Aiman then drove a Ferrari and continued to stop in the middle of the road while smoking a cigar. 26 years ago, Aiman was born and his father, Hassan (Jalaluddin Hassan) was informed by a doctor that Aiman could only live for two or three years due to complications in the sensory organs and to having a behavioral disorder.
Aiman, who was in an unmanageable condition, went to the old school and reminisced about his school days. Aiman, who was 9 years old at the time in third grade, was called by his teacher and showed him a picture of a tree he had drawn, but colored it blue, not green. Aiman asked his teacher why the tree is green? Then he was punished by his teacher. Aiman, who was less sociable with his peers, was alone while looking at a tree. His mistress explained how the tree was green. Aiman had just finished studying and asked his father why God does not want people to live happily and why there are poor people. Hassan lost his temper and beat Aiman.
In an empty building, Aiman paints a wall with a brush and questions everything for which there is no answer. Objects around it (including tires and paint) begin to float. Aiman gives medicine to his mother (Aida Khalida) who is seriously ill, then scolds his father for spilling a cup of coffee on his canvas painting. Aiman, who works in a painting gallery, was called by his boss (Razif Salimin) and informed him that the painting gallery where he worked would be closed and some employees including him had to be laid off immediately. After the painting gallery closed, Aiman continued his career as a painter, when he started to paint, Dr. Yap (Jacky Kam) comes to observe him and takes a picture of him. A few minutes later, it started to rain. Aiman continued his work as usual after the rain subsided, but was approached by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) officials and tried to obstruct the authorities, eventually his artwork was confiscated.
Aiman returned home on a motorcycle, but had an accident. He then worked at an insurance company for a living. After learning that his mother was ill, Aiman went straight to the hospital and his mother died. A week later, the insurance company where Aiman worked was closed and there was a group of men prying on the door of the insurance company’s office. Then they chased Aiman and he hid. Aiman tried to call his friend, but failed, so he threw away his mobile phone. The problem that befell him made Aiman always quarrel with his father, Aiman stared at the condominium thinking about the problem that befell him with his friend, Zahid (Pekin Ibrahim) who was injured in the right leg due to a motorcycle accident, came to him and greeted him. One day, Aiman prayed that the problem would disappear in the blink of an eye. Fate befell him again when Aiman was captured by a group of thugs, then beaten without mercy. Aiman fainted on the road, Dr. Yap come take him home. The next day, when he woke up, he found that he was alone. All human beings are gone. At first he was looking for someone else but after a while, he became fun because he didn’t have to think about the problems that were there. He can do everything without having to think long. At the same time, Aiman is actually looking for answers to every question present in his life.
Hassan, accompanied by Zahid lodged a police report regarding Aiman's disappearance. At the crossroads, Hassan and Zahid followed Dr. Yep up to his house. Hassan broke into Dr. Yep when the doctor came out. Meanwhile, Aiman stood in a bank building and fell, but was 'pulled' by the force of gravity. Aiman saw a shadow of himself, then was taken to the realm of hallucinations and treated in a cell. He then attacks two men who are similar to him and brings out a woman named Maya (Bella Dally), then they are both taken to a fantasy realm, Aiman and Maya see a flock of fish floating in the sky, and are followed by a dinosaur and even a spaceship. They both ascended to heaven. Hassan and Zahid were involved in an accident while on their way to the police station. Aiman and Maya walk around the park, the lake and then in the city, they both recount the situation they faced and Aiman is pounded by his fiery shadow.
Aiman received treatment through machine treatment and Dr. Yap explained more details to him about his illness. Aiman is now aware that he has had Anton-Babinski syndrome since birth. ASP Kumar showed CCTV footage showing Aiman’s behavior, and Aiman once again underwent machine treatment. Dr. Yap takes him to the hospital where Aiman will receive actual treatment and he asks Dr. Yep where is his father. Dr. Yap brought Aiman to see his father who was treated at the same hospital due to an accident, Dr. Yap explained to Aiman that he thought Hassan was a thief and Zahid in a wheelchair called him.
Dr. Yap carries Aiman around the hospital, yet Aiman sees a shadow of himself and. There he met Maya who also suffered from the same disease he suffered from. Dr. Yap advised Aiman to take medicine to cure his illness, but he refused. Dr. Yap tells Aiman that he is likely to be blind. Aiman and Maya were taken to the Putrajaya Hospital compound by Dr. Yap who also brought the police. In the world of his imagination, Aiman asks Maya that he wants to bring her back to the real world. But Aiman was visited by his shadow. Aiman injured himself and continued to run all the way to the road. Returning to his imaginary world, Aiman runs away on a motorcycle and is chased by dinosaur, and is struck by an accident at a crossroads and his shadow comes back and wants to be with him until the Day of Judgment. Aiman begged for forgiveness from God and acknowledged everything was His test. Back in the real world, Aiman once again receives machine treatment and realizes his father was involved in a road accident after he saved Aiman.
At the end of the film, Dr. Yap held a press conference on the discovery of a cure for Anton-Babinski. Aiman and Maya, are now married and endowed with their baby. Maya has fully recovered from Anton-Babinski syndrome, while Aiman is now visually impaired due to side effects from machine treatment. Zahid came to Aiman's painting gallery and said hello. Aiman and Zahid rest in the park and Aiman talks about his direction and life.

The year is 1923. Zaitsev and Yegorov get jobs in criminal investigation. Yegorov must keep an eye on the documents, while Zaitsev is responsible for fighting with the criminals. And suddenly they get a case of a pharmacist's suicide...
''Twelve Minutes'' is a decision-driven game involving time loops, however, the order of events will differ depending on how the game plays.
A husband returns to his apartment after work and is greeted by his wife, who surprises him with the news that she is pregnant. As they start to celebrate, a man claiming to be a cop knocks at the door and proceeds to arrest them both. He accuses the wife of murdering her father and stealing an expensive pocket watch eight years ago. The cop then strangles the husband to death, only for him to suddenly find himself back to the start of the evening after, trapped in a time loop. If the husband dies, leaves the apartment, or time runs out, he returns to the beginning of the evening.
After finding the hidden watch in the apartment and proving he is reliving the same evening to his wife, she eventually confesses her secret past. The wife tells him that shortly after she was born, her father had an affair with the nanny, resulting in a child being born. The discovery of the affair and the existence of an illegitimate child drove her mother into a deep depression and eventually death. Years later, during a heated argument on Christmas Eve, she accidentally shot her father with a gun and ran away, afraid of the consequences.
The husband eventually questions the cop and learns he was a close friend of his wife's father. The cop's daughter has cancer, and he wants to sell the pocket watch to pay for her treatment. The cop's version of how the father died is also different: The father survived being shot on Christmas Eve, but someone else returned on New Year and killed him with the same gun. Realizing his wife did not commit murder, the husband finds a way to prove his wife's innocence to the cop. The three characters talk peacefully and deduce the killer was the wife's brother from the affair.
Unfortunately, the loop still repeats, so the husband focuses on finding the brother's identity. By interrogating the cop with this new information, he learns that his mother, whom he had never met, was the nanny. In shock, his repressed memories return, and he relives that fateful New Year's evening eight years ago: He confronts the man who took care of him and confesses he has fallen in love with his daughter, only to learn that this man is his father, and the daughter is his half-sister. Unable to cope with the truth, a struggle ensues, and he accidentally shoots his father and flees.
Using the watch to reverse time, the husband returns to reality, where he is still talking with his father about falling in love with his half-sister; the time loops are revealed to be the husband imagining a positive future with his wife, and the cop is a manifestation of his father's interference. If the husband refuses his father's proposal to leave his half-sister, the scuffle repeats and he accidentally breaks his father's neck, and the loops continue to repeat. If the husband decides to accept his father's proposal, he enters a loop where the apartment is empty and he is alone. If the husband recites a book that the wife was reading during the loops, the father offers to help him to forget his half-sister, causing the loops to reset and begin anew. Finally, if the husband recites that same book once more then stares at the clock before choosing to forget, the father tells him to end his imaginary future, ending all the time loops.
After encountering another high warning radiation obstacle while searching for the missing Al, Morgan encounters a woman named Grace while sending two walkers into a trap. Grace explains that due to a power plant collapse the previous year, there are over sixty radioactive walkers in the area.
Simply getting close to walkers risks the survivors becoming contaminated, causing Morgan to permanently lose his contaminated battle staff. As a former operations manager for the plant, Grace blames herself for the deaths of her friends and is on a mission to find and eliminate the radioactive walkers, herself terminally ill with radiation sickness.
John and June locate the camp that Max and his siblings possibly came from only to discover that the residents succumbed to radiation sickness after battling a pack of radioactive walkers. Grace goes out on her own to hunt down the rest, promising to keep in touch. At the same time, Víctor locates Daniel Salazar who helps him make contact with Luciana. Although convinced of the problem, Daniel refuses to lend his plane to Victor, who believes that it will only make things worse based on his past experiences.
After fainting after being attacked by a walker, Luciana wakes up to find that someone has cut off the heads of her walkers and hung them from a billboard at the truck stop.
Immediately after the events of ''Agent in Place'', CIA contract agent Court Gentry is ordered home by his careerist handler Suzanne Brewer. The Agency-owned transport plane he is in makes a stop at Luxembourg to bring aboard an MI6 rendition team carrying a prisoner, a Dutch banker connected to a mole in the Agency. Upon arriving at Ternhill Airbase in England, they are attacked by a group of armed men, who kidnap the prisoner. After unsuccessfully pursuing them, Court is tasked with finding out who ordered the ambush. Brewer accelerates the mole hunt, eventually bringing in contract agent and Court's former black ops team leader Zack Hightower to intimidate the mole and reveal himself in the process.
Meanwhile, former Russian foreign intelligence officer and Court's former lover Zoya Zakharova is being turned into a CIA asset in a safe house in Virginia. She is also being groomed to become part of Poison Apple, a codeword CIA program made up of singleton operatives like Gentry and Hightower. Through Brewer, she finds out the circumstances surrounding the death of her father Feodor Zakharov, a former head of Russian military intelligence, in Dagestan fifteen years ago. Convinced that he is still alive, Zoya escapes from the safe house, dispatching a group of Mexican sicarios attacking it at the same time. She travels to London to find out the truth about her father.
Unbeknownst to Zoya, her father had faked his death to become a deep cover agent for the Russian government under the identity of English businessman David Mars. Bent with revenge for the supposed deaths of his wife and children by the American and British intelligence communities, he plans a biological attack on the upcoming Five Eyes conference in Scotland with the help of North Korean intelligence agent Janice Won, who specializes in biological warfare, and an agent inside the CIA, revealed as executive Marty Wheeler, providing him with classified information. Additionally, he had ordered the attacks on Ternhill and Virginia in order to safeguard his real identity when he finds out that his old GRU file was accessed, later executing the banker.
Zoya and Court meet again while tracking down one of Feodor's associates. They later find out about Mars separately; Zoya reunites with her father, who then abducts her for betraying her country, while Court deduces his plan with help from his former handler Sir Donald Fitzroy. Meanwhile, having identified Wheeler as the mole, Hightower captures him as he tries to escape upon arrival in the UK for the conference. Brewer then orders Court to eliminate Mars as well as his associate Roger Fox, who is actually Artyom Primakov, a made man in the Russian mafia. However, Gentry goes off mission and instead rescues Zoya from a hideout, capturing Won in the process.
Won reveals her part in Mars's impending attack. Zoya escapes once again, determined to kill her own father for inadvertently causing the death of her brother in one of his previous failed attacks. Meanwhile, after pinpointing Mars's staging area for his attack to an abandoned church near the venue of the conference at Loch Ness, Brewer sends a CIA Ground Branch unit as well as Gentry and Hightower to assault the area. While they dispatch Russian mafia soldiers and some former Spetsnaz mercenaries and shoot down a crop-duster carrying the weaponized bacteria meant for the conference, Mars and Fox manage to escape, with Zoya in pursuit.
Undeterred, Mars storms the conference venue with Fox, his remaining mercenaries, and fellow sleeper agents working amongst the building's security, taking the attendees hostage as a diversion to release the rest of the weaponized plague he had kept for himself. Having moved to the venue in anticipation of Mars's next move, Gentry, Hightower, and the surviving Ground Branch operatives, as well as Zoya and Brewer, eventually dispatch Mars's men. Much to the displeasure of Zoya, Court kills her father in the building's subterranean area. Brewer then tries to murder Court in order to salvage her own career when she is shot by Zoya, who is then shot by Court, who mistakes her for one of Mars's henchmen. While the two women survive, Brewer is quietly but sternly warned by her superior Matthew Hanley not to have Court killed next time.
The conference attendees who were in contact with the plague are later issued antibiotics to offset its effects. After meeting with Zoya one last time, Court goes off grid.
Strand, Charlie, Sarah, and Wendell try to steal Daniel's plane, but he anticipates their move and disables it. After accidentally hooking up with Daniel, Charlie discovers that he is disarming deadly traps set by Logan. Daniel's cat, Skidmark, accidentally lets go of a pack while in one of those traps and Daniel sends Charlie forward as he lures the pack back. Daniel reveals that he is angry at Strand not for being shot in the face, but because Strand lying to him about Ofelia, preventing Daniel from seeing his daughter alive again. Strand and the others rush to Daniel's rescue and Strand uses the plane to eliminate the pack, damaging the engines beyond repair.
Daniel forgives Strand and gives the group use of his warehouse as he continues his mission. At the same time, Morgan and Alicia search for Althea and discover in the process that Max, Annie and Dylan are part of a larger group of children, the children of people who died of radiation sickness in a nearby camp. The children take them to the camp of the people who took Althea, only to witness the people fly away by helicopter. Meanwhile, Dylan and Luciana fix the truck stop's long-range antenna and contact Strand, who informs them of the plane's fate. Dylan suggests that the group repair their crashed plane to escape.
After being kidnapped, Althea meets a young woman named Isabelle who works for the mysterious helicopter group. Althea hides her tape showing the zombified member of the group, Beckett, so Isabelle is forced to cooperate with Althea, who seeks information about the secret group and its activities.
With Isabelle's helicopter out of fuel and only three days before another team is dispatched to the area, Althea helps Isabelle make a treacherous climb to obtain the necessary supplies while revealing her own guilt for her brother's death. Isabelle reveals that her group is focusing on the future and rebuilding itself to the point where its mission is more important than anything or anyone.
After Beckett went insane after witnessing the effects of radiation from melting the power plant, Isabelle was forced to kill him. Althea eventually brings Isabelle to the tape and destroys it, but Isabelle chooses not to kill her due to their mutual attraction. Isabelle leaves in the helicopter with the story tape of Althea's brother, lying to her people about meeting someone. Althea meets with Morgan's group, Alicia and Annie. She lies about her experience meeting Isabelle and about what she learned from that encounter, keeping her promise to Isabelle. Inspired by her experiences, Althea reveals her last name to her friends and finally reveals personal information about herself.
Morgan's group takes the remains of an aeroplane to the truck stop and to repair it with the help of the group. The children help in the repair but when Althea tests the plane the propellers are destroyed. Annie decides to leave with other children and explains the events that occurred towards the loss of her parents in the camp found by the group. Grace manages to contact Morgan to reveal that the second reactor at the power plant will soon melt. Grace and Morgan plan to use the generator at the truck stop to delay the collapse but Grace doesn't think it can be stopped completely and believes that anyone left in the area would die when the reactor melts.
Rather than risk Morgan's life, Grace leaves alone to gain time. Dwight and John continue searching for Sherry; John finds a note from Sherry asking Dwight to resign himself to looking for her but he keeps it a secret. After debating a solution, Strand and Charlie arrive to help with the propellers for Daniel's plane using Jim Brauer's old hot air balloon. The balloon collapses in a field within the radioactive zone. As Morgan rushes to aid them and Alicia searches for the children, Strand and Charlie are surrounded by a horde of walkers, some of whom are radioactive.
John and Dwight continue to look for Sherry until they run out of fuel. Running out of time before collapsing, John confesses the truth to Dwight. Although Dwight decides to continue in faith and in hopes of seeing Sherry again, Dwight returns to John and they both return to the group. Charlie and Strand protect themselves from the walking horde using the balloon until Morgan arrives and rescues them. Morgan helps Grace repair the generator, delaying the collapse. Morgan convinces Grace not to stop living and she joins the group. Althea takes June to the fuel depot Isabelle showed her, to retrieve more fuel for the plane and tells her a bit about her meeting with Isabelle. Alicia arrives at Annie's group's camp and struggles to convince them to leave. After a pack arrives, Annie agrees to join them in leaving the area. Alicia drives the pack away, but is exposed to radiation when the blood of a radioactive walker splashes on her face. Later, sirens sound at the power plant, signalling a nuclear collapse.
The power plant melts and the containment building explodes, spreading a cloud of radioactive dust in the air that threatens everyone's life.
Cut off from the rest of the group, John and Dwight struggle to find their way back but are helped by another message from Sherry that leads them to a working vehicle. John then proposes to June, who accepts.
Grace decontaminates Alicia but is not sure how much radiation she absorbed or the future effects on her health. Morgan, Grace, and Alicia are chased by a walking horde, they return to the plane in time to escape. With the help of Daniel, Sarah and Wendell can create a catwalk with Christmas lights. Despite a mishap with some walkers, the plane lands successfully and Daniel and Alicia meet again after a long time. At the same time, Logan's team ruins the denim factory in search of something to no avail, leading them to abandon Logan.
Later, Morgan's group receives a call for help but is interrupted by Logan, who seeks his help in finding an oil field that Clayton had established to deal with the problem of spoiling fuel. Seemingly sorry for his past actions, Logan says they must find the field before his old team does, as it is his only chance to reach the people who need his help.

During the middle of the 21st Century, Earth has passed the point of no return as climate disasters grow more frequent and dangerous, surpassing humanity's ability to mitigate them. The major governments of Earth combine their resources under the newly formed Enoch Colonization Authority (ECA) in a last-ditch effort to preserve humanity on Enoch, a distant Earth-like planet. Two massive colony ships, the ''Caravel'' and the ''Flores'', are built, each holding 500,000 colonists. Despite the ''Caravel'' suffering a catastrophic explosion in the middle of construction, the ''Flores'' successfully reaches Enoch's orbit in 2159, after an 83-year journey. The first humans to set foot on Enoch are the Outriders, a team of elite soldiers tasked with scouting the landing zone and paving the way for the colonists. However, the Outriders quickly discover the Anomaly, a massive and deadly energy storm. The Outriders attempt to warn the ECA to abort the colonization, but the ECA leadership instead send their own security forces to silence the Outriders by purging them. One of the Outriders, having survived exposure to the Anomaly, is mortally wounded during the fighting and is put back into cryostasis by Shira Gutmann, an ECA engineer.
The Outrider is awakened from cryostasis 31 years later in 2190, where they find that the ECA's attempted colonization has failed, with the Anomaly destroying all the colony's advanced technology and trapping all the colonists within the confines of a single mountain valley. Beset by hostile alien wildlife and left with dwindling resources, the colonists split in a massive civil war pitting the remnants of the ECA against the Insurgents, militant rebels who seek to overthrow the ECA. In addition, people who have survived exposure to the Anomaly like the Outrider have become "Altered", mutated humans possessing supernatural powers. The Outrider manages to reunite with Shira, now the ''de facto'' leader of the ECA, who tasks the Outrider with fighting against the Insurgents and eliminating their Altered.
Shira then explains that she and scientist Dr Abraham Zahedi are trying to trace the source of a mysterious signal originating from the other side of the Anomaly. Having recorded the exact frequency of the signal when they first landed, the Outrider heads out to meet Zahedi. Zahedi reveals that he possesses the last satellite uplink capable of connecting to the ''Flores'', which remains in orbit with half of the colony's supplies. If the colonists can relocate to an area safe from the Anomaly, they can establish a new colony. Taking Zahedi and several companions, the Outrider traverses a number of hazardous environments and is finally able to breach the Anomaly and reach the other side, only to find a vast, barren desert littered with derelict human installations but inhabited by a humanoid native species violently hostile to humans they call Ferals.
As the group continues to follow the signal, they discover the wreck of the ''Caravel'', which has inexplicably reached Enoch before the ''Flores''. Upon entering the ''Caravel'', the group learns that after the ''Flores'' left Earth, the people left behind were able to rebuild the ''Caravel'' with a more advanced engine. With this engine, the ''Caravel'' was able to reach Enoch before the ''Flores''. Upon landing, the ''Caravel'' colonists encountered a native race they called the ''Pax'', named after their peaceful nature. The ''Pax'' civilization also kept the Anomaly in check, harnessing their own powers from it. The colonists craved this power and feared the ''Pax'' using it against them, so they violently subjugated the ''Pax'' in a vain attempt to gain their abilities before exterminating them. Left with no choice, the surviving ''Pax'' turned themselves into their current feral forms and wiped out the ''Caravel'' colonists, in turn unleashing the Anomaly across Enoch. The signal the Outriders had followed all this time was the ''Caravel's'' automated distress beacon. The Ferals assault the ''Caravel'', but the Outrider and their group are able to fight them back, allowing Zahedi to signal the ''Flores'' to launch its cargo pods.
As the group watches the cargo pods land, they are met by a group of humans who have followed their trail, inspired by the stories of the Outrider. Still determined to fulfil their mission, the Outrider presses on to look for a suitable area to colonize.

Kamala attends a celebration event called "Avengers Day" which unveils the Avengers' second headquarters in San Francisco and their own Helicarrier called the ''Chimera''. The ceremony is interrupted by a terrorist attack led by Taskmaster, which leads to the ''Chimera'' Terrigen Crystal-powered core exploding and Captain America's apparent death. San Francisco is destroyed and blanketed by Terrigen Mist in the aftermath, which causes numerous individuals to involuntarily manifest superhuman powers as Inhumans, including Kamala. Blamed for the tragedy known as "A-Day", the Avengers disband and a company named A.I.M. rises to power.
Five years later at her home in Jersey City, Kamala discovers damaged video footage which seemingly implicate a scientist name Tarleton in Captain America's death. She attempts to meet a contact from an anti-A.I.M. Resistance movement known as "Tiny Dancer", but is captured by Tarleton and Rappaccini. Kamala escapes and travels to Utah to find the Resistance's base of operations. Her search leads her to the ''Chimera'' s damaged remains in which she finds Hulk who attacks her before reverting into Banner. She convinces him to assist her in proving the Avengers' innocence. Traveling to a former S.H.I.E.L.D. compound to retrieve J.A.R.V.I.S., the two are confronted by A.I.M. and one of their operatives the Abomination. Hulk defeats him before he and Kamala return to the ''Chimera'' to reactivate J.A.R.V.I.S. and set out to reunite the Avengers. While they find Stark at his family estate, he bears a grudge against Banner because his testimony of A-Day incriminated the Avengers. Upon learning of Kamala's evidence, Stark agrees to join them and works to restore the ''Chimera''.
During their search for parts to help Stark, Kamala and Banner stumble upon the Ant Hill, an Inhuman sanctuary and the Resistance's headquarters run by Hank Pym. While assisting them, Kamala disobeys orders and attempts to raid an A.I.M. facility alone to rescue Inhuman prisoners, but is captured. While in custody, she learns Rappaccini's efforts to make an Inhuman cure are unsuccessful, leading Tarleton to prioritize the manufacturing of Adaptoid androids. Romanoff drops her cover within A.I.M. and infiltrates the facility. She captures Rappaccini, frees Kamala, and reveals her identity as Tiny Dancer. Banner attempts to interrogate Rappaccini about the Adaptoid laboratory's whereabouts, but the latter resists before A.I.M. forces attack the ''Chimera'' and retrieve her. Witnessing the attack, Thor intervenes and rejoins the Avengers. J.A.R.V.I.S. restores the footage which shows Captain America ordering Tarleton to seal him inside so he can destroy the ''Chimera'' reactor, apparently causing the explosion. Believing A-Day really was their fault, the Avengers fragment.
While reviewing the interrogation footage, Kamala realizes A.I.M.'s Adaptoid laboratory is located off-world in a satellite called Ambrosia. She relays this information to the Avengers and rallies them with a heartfelt speech. Stark upgrades his suit to achieve space travel and infiltrates the satellite where he discovers that Captain America is alive and placed in suspended animation so Rappaccini could harvest his blood to power the Adaptoids and covertly accelerate Tarleton's mutation. Thor comes to their rescue and Captain America reveals that he destroyed the reactor because it was unearthing an unidentified object underneath the bay that threatened to destabilize the San Andreas Fault and destroy California. Meanwhile, Tarleton discovers that Rappaccini's serum, while ostensibly keeping him alive, has deliberately induced his mutations and injects Rappaccini with it in retaliation.
Reassembled, the Avengers deduce that Rappaccini hired Taskmaster to hijack the ''Chimera'' and steal the Terrigen Crystal, which unearthed the buried object in the bay. They learn that Tarleton, now calling himself "MODOK", plans to exterminate Inhumans around the world and commit suicide afterwards. The Avengers storm his San Francisco fortress, but MODOK activates the object — a massive Kree Sentry — and overpowers them. Kamala unexpectedly grows to giant size, destroys the Kree Sentry, and sends MODOK falling into the bay. After her recovery, Kamala returns home to her father Yusuf who allows her to discreetly join the Avengers.
In a mid-credits scene, Rappaccini becomes A.I.M.'s undisputed leader, the Scientist Supreme, while the Sentry's remains launches a pod into space.
In a post-credits scene, Maria Hill rallies the Avengers to undermine A.I.M.'s activities. Upon completion of the "Reigning Supreme" campaign, a cutscene shows Kamala being officially made an Avenger.

The film tells about a girl and her active and stubborn grandmother, who want to build a new House of Culture and attract Komsomol members for this.
The game revolves around the first-person accounts of Galen, a doctor, and Yani, an engineer, who are outsiders sent to investigate a city that is isolated from the world for three months due to harsh cold weather. The city, constructed above hot springs, serves as an oasis, but after Lev, a neurotic archaeologist obsessed with the mysteries behind the city, disappears, betrayals and mechanical failures lead the main characters into a conspiracy that destabilizes the city.
In 2001, a young Damon Ricotello goes to the woods at night and discovers a crash site, encountering FU as a small injured alien larva. Damon decides to take care of FU while hiding him from government agents. The two become friends while searching for a way to return FU to his planet. After discovering a piece of alien technology at FU's crash site, Damon is imbued with alien powers and assists FU in building a space ship. They say goodbye to each other and FU departs, promising to return in 20 years.
Twenty years later (two years after the events of ''Travis Strikes Again''), an adult Damon manages Utopinia as its CEO, utilizing FU's alien abilities and technology to prosper and become a wealthy elite. An adult FU returns to Earth in a large spaceship, alongside nine additional aliens, and reveals to Damon that he became a prince after returning to his home world, only to be exiled to an intergalactic prison for destroying a neighboring planet. He announces their intention to team up with Damon and take over Earth by employing the popular trend of superheroism. Travis Touchdown, who had returned to Santa Destroy following years of self-imposed exile, awakes to the city being invaded and fends off waves of aliens together with fellow assassins Shinobu and Bad Girl. He successfully stops the invasion by killing its commander Mr. Blackhole, the first of FU's companions.
After executing the President of the United States on live television, FU announces the establishment of the Galactic Superhero Rankings; a ranked ladder with himself at the top, serving as an open invitation to the strongest fighters to determine the fate of the planet. Still aggrieved by Blackhole's death, FU accosts Travis and his friends at the No More Heroes motel. In the ensuing skirmish, FU incapacitates Travis before dismembering Shinobu and killing Badman when he arrived to her aid. The battle leaves Shinobu in a critical coma and Bad Girl devastated over her father's death, compelling Travis to enter the rankings to fight his way to number one and stop FU. During Travis' ascent, the rankings are infiltrated by Native Dancer, who prematurely kills Black Night Direction. Travis dismisses Native Dancer's story of being a time traveler, but instinctually spares him after they battle. Travis later crosses paths with a grown-up Kimmy Howell after she is found having killed Vanishing Point, still seeking a fight to the death with Travis following their previous encounter in ''Desperate Struggle''. Travis reluctantly kills her in their ensuing battle.
Travis spares the life of the fifth ranked fighter Midori Midorikawa after they are intercepted by Kamui Uehara, who reveals that she joined the rankings after a misunderstanding and that the two are in a relationship. During a battle with mass-produced versions of the superhero terrorist Destroyman, Travis befriends the superhero and wrestling champion Notorious, who assists Travis in training. While Travis climbs the ranks, Damon acts on his own to kill Travis, hiring a contract killer who gives him a device that enables him to kill someone. Becoming increasingly frustrated by their inefficiency, FU kills off the two remaining rankers so Travis can face him. After making his way to the second rank, Travis is waylaid at the motel by his brother Henry Cooldown, who still resents Travis for events that followed their shared traumatic upbringing. After Travis defeats and seemingly kills Henry, he is ambushed and murdered by Henry while using the toilet.
After dying, Travis is sent to the world of ''Deathman'', a video game that he grew up with, whose protagonist brings Travis back to life with help from Takashi Miike. Joined by the recovered Shinobu and Bad Girl alongside Kamui, Notorious, Midori, and Native Dancer, Travis heads to Damon Tower to fight FU, forcing him back to his larval form with everyone's efforts. FU attempts to flee back to his planet, only for Damon to activate his device and detonate FU's ship, killing FU in the process. Damon explains that he himself masterminded the alien invasion as part of his plan to kill Travis for punching him. Damon transforms Damon Tower into a planet destroying mecha, but Travis successfully defeats it after summoning an Arsenal from ''Daemon X Machina''. Travis and Damon finish their fight on a derelict battlefield in the style of ''Super Smash Bros.'', where Travis strikes Damon so hard he is completely vaporized.
In a post-credits scene, Travis and his friends give Badman a burial at sea before they are attacked by an alien armada led by FU's father, King Jess-Baptiste V. They are saved by future versions of Travis and Sylvia's children Jeane and Hunter, who also reveal Native Dancer to be Travis' grandson Scott. The trio explain that Henry kills Travis in the future and teams up with an alien force to destroy the planet, and ask Travis to join them to help them change the future.
Seok-jin returns to South Korea after a two-year stay in the US. Filled with nostalgia, he reminisces the good memories he had with his six high school best friends—Yoon-gi, Ho-seok, Nam-joon, Ji-min, Tae-hyung and Jung-kook—who have gone to their separate ways since two years ago. One day, while driving on 11 April, he sees Jung-kook crossing the street on his way to school and, later at night, he sees Nam-joon working at a gasoline station, but he does not make any attempt to approach each of them.
More than a month later, Seok-jin wakes up from a nightmare and decides to reconnect with his friends. He returns to the gasoline station, only to find out that Nam-joon is already in prison for assaulting a customer. He pays Nam-joon a visit at the detention center, and learns that Nam-joon was caught in a fight with a snob customer on the night of 11 April, right after Seok-jin left the station. To his shock, Seok-jin also learns from Nam-joon the deaths of Jung-kook and Yoon-gi and that Ho-seok is in the hospital while Tae-hyung and Ji-min's whereabouts remain unknown. After the visitation, Seok-jin witnesses Tae-hyung being brought into police custody and mobbed by reporters.
Seok-jin goes to the beach, mourning over his loss and wishing he could turn back time and fix everything. There, he hears a mysterious voice and he sees a small white creature running past him. He wakes up and finds himself back on the morning of 11 April, thinking it was all a dream. Like before, he goes at night to the gasoline station where Nam-joon works and ignores him. Just as he was thinking he should have approached Nam-joon, a boy falls onto his car, instantly dead upon impact. Realizing in horror that it was Jung-kook, his vision blurs and he wakes up back to the morning of April 11. As he begins reliving once again the events of that day, he now senses that something strange is happening to him. After visiting the gasoline station, he decides to stop his car and walk around the neighborhood. In time, Jung-kook falls from a building and lands dead on the street right behind Seok-jin, on the spot where the latter's car was supposed to be on (from the preceding iteration).
A voice wakes Seok-jin back to 11 April, temporarily showing him in bits the fates of his friends and revealing to him his own: that he shall be trapped in a time loop, from which he must escape by saving his six friends from their miseries. Realizing that he had really gone back in time (albeit already more than once), he resolves to fix his friend's fates and reunite their group. He starts by stopping Nam-joon from attacking the snob customer, whom he talked out easily. Before leaving for the next location, he tells Nam-joon that he is going to find Jung-kook right away.
While feeling weird about the gravity of what Seok-jin had told him, Nam-joon sees Jung-kook walking alone on the streets. Sensing incoming danger, he runs after Jung-kook but he loses sight of the boy through the thick crowd of pedestrians. Meanwhile, Seok-jin is also in search of Jung-kook while trying to recall which building rooftop the boy will fall from. After climbing up the wrong building and deducing the correct one, he rushes at the last minutes. On the street, Nam-joon finds Jung-kook standing on the building rooftop's parapet. Just as Jung-kook loses his footing, Seok-jin had reached the rooftop and pulls him back to safety.
Seok-jin and Nam-joon ask Jung-kook how he ended up in the building rooftop. Suddenly, Jung-kook receives a phone call from Yoon-gi's number. The trio rushes to the hospital and witness the doctors trying to revive Yoon-gi, who was rescued from his burning hotel room. Unfortunately, Yoon-gi ultimately perishes; at once, Seok-jin is transported back to the morning of April 11.
Seok-jin repeats his rescuing of Nam-joon and Jung-kook, this time making it earlier so that Nam-joon will not have to meet the snob customer and Jung-kook will not have to go to the building rooftop. As Seok-jin leaves to rescue Yoon-gi, Nam-joon receives a call from the police station. There, he and Jung-kook retrieve Tae-hyung, who was caught making trouble. Upon being asked if he knew Yoon-gi's whereabouts, Tae-hyung reveals, rather jokingly, that he saw Yoon-gi in his "dreams."
Meanwhile, Seok-jin is at a hotel scanning the security footages for signs of Yoon-gi, only to find out that he had gone to the wrong building. A nearby building catches fire and Seok-jin is sent back to the morning of 11 April once again. On this next trial, Seok-jin brings Nam-joon, Jung-kook and Tae-hyung with him right after waking up, significantly earlier than the previous iterations, to help in his search for Yoon-gi. In response to this sudden change of fates, the four men are caught in a vehicular accident; Nam-joon, Jung-kook and Tae-hyung are killed while Seok-jin is seriously injured. As the loop starts again, Seok-jin realizes that he must not quickly jump in to change his friends' fates.
Back to the start of the loop, Seok-jin begins planning his rescues. Seok-jin concludes that he must let Nam-joon meet the snob customer and stop the fight at the right moment, and let Nam-joon by himself while he goes to rescue Jung-kook, taking the shortest distance possible. Proceeding as planned, Seok-jin rushes to the burning building to save Yoon-gi. Upon regaining consciousness in the hospital, Yoon-gi expresses his resentment at Seok-jin for saving him from the fire.
A month later, Tae-hyung is caught in the act of vandalism and evades the police by hiding in Nam-joon's pad. While spending the night at Nam-joon's, Tae-hyung wakes up from a nightmare in which he saw Ji-min. Both Nam-joon and Tae-hyung are unaware that Ji-min has been in staying in a hospital for two years. In the hospital, Ji-min meets Ho-seok who is recently confined for his narcolepsy. Ji-min confides to Ho-seok that his "clock stopped clicking at some point": he cannot say how long had he been in the hospital and how much longer must he stay. Ji-min has also been haunted by images of a tunnel and a sign pointing to an arboretum.
Meanwhile, Nam-joon and Tae-hyung decide to visit Ho-seok at his job, but learns later on that he had been brought to the hospital due to his narcolepsy. At the hospital, Ho-seok overhears a group a hospital staff talking about Ji-min and learns that Ji-min had actually been forced by his parents to stay in the hospital.
Nam-joon and Tae-hyung, accompanied by Jung-kook and Yoon-gi, who was discharged a month ago, arrive at the hospital to pay Ho-seok a visit. Ho-seok learns of their arrival and invites Ji-min to join him in meeting their friends, but Ji-min refuses and asks him not to tell them that he is in the hospital. Later, Nam-joon excuses himself from the group to go back to his work.
Upon exiting the hospital, Nam-joon meets Seok-jin who he thought was also going to visit Ho-seok. Seok-jin, who had just learned of Yoon-gi's discharge, realizes Ho-seok was also in the hospital upon his encounter with Nam-joon. On the next day, he returns to the hospital to see Ho-seok but he runs into Ji-min instead. Just in time, hospital staffs rush by Seok-jin and Ji-min, transporting a dying Ho-seok who fell down the stairs. Seok-jin is then transported back to the morning of April 11, restarting the loop once again.
Seok-jin proceeds to redo his rescues; this time, he finds Ho-seok on a bridge under the influence of a narcolepsy attack and catches him as he loses consciousness, thus preventing Ho-seok from being sent to the hospital. Ho-seok recuperates in Seok-jin's car and requests to be dropped off at his work. Before he gets off the car, Ho-seok notices five sticky notes attached to the dashboard, written on which are his, Nam-joon, Jung-kook, Yoon-gi, and Ji-min's names and the places where each would supposedly meet their ill fate.
Confused, Ho-seok meets Nam-joon, asking about Seok-jin's strange behavior. He later manages to follow Seok-jin to the burning building, and is shocked to see Seok-jin emerge from the building carrying Yoon-gi. Recalling the notes in Seok-jin's car, Ho-seok interrogates Seok-jin, but the latter refuses to reveal the truth. While waiting in the hospital for Yoon-gi to recover, Ho-seok comes across Ji-min, who tells him how he had been locked up in the hospital for a very long time.
Upon Ji-min's wish to escape from the hospital, Ho-seok enlists the help of Nam-joon and Tae-hyung. Seok-jin proceeds to rescuing Ji-min, but he runs instead into Ho-seok, Nam-joon and Tae-hyung who were already bringing Ji-min with them. Fearing it would put them all to jeopardy, Seok-jin refuses to help his friends in breaking Ji-min out of the hospital. In a brief altercation, Ho-seok reveals to Seok-jin the truth of Ji-min's misery; Seok-jin finally leads the group in the escape, but they are caught by Ji-min's mother. Ji-min pleads for his discharge but he gets slapped and rejected by his mother. Days after the failed rescue, Ji-min is found in a locked bathroom, nearly drowning inside a bathtub overflowing with water.
The hospital staffs unlock the door to the bathroom; Seok-jin rushes into the room and saves Ji-min from drowning. At the latter's imploring, Seok-jin breaks Ji-min out of the hospital and escapes by car, but as the two pass through a tunnel, Ji-min begins to feel uncomfortable. Seeing the arboretum sign ahead of them, Ji-min panics and rushes out of the car. Seok-jin is sent back once again to the start of the time loop.
Exhausted over his successive failures, Seok-jin refuses to relive his life and save his friends, and he spends the time loop sulking inside his room. Unexpectedly, Tae-hyung visits Seok-jin on the next iteration, motivating Seok-jin to continue in the challenge of rescuing his friends and escaping the loop. Seok-jin proceeds to saving Nam-joon, Jung-kook, Ho-seok, Yoon-gi and Ji-min in the safest way possible. As the seven best friends celebrate their reunion, Seok-jin fails to notice that he still has one friend left to be saved from his ill fate: Tae-hyung.
Meanwhile, Tae-hyung remains secretive to his friends about his family issues: he and his older sister are being tormented since childhood by their abusive and alcoholic father. Upon arriving at their apartment home, Tae-hyung finds his father in his drunken tantrum. As their father beat up his older sister, Tae-hyung, blinded with rage, grabs an empty liquor bottle and is shown charging towards his father. Just as Nam-joon was telling Seok-jin his worries on Tae-hyung's family life, Ho-seok arrives to bring word on Tae-hyung's arrest. Seok-jin rushes to the police station and sees Tae-hyung being escorted by the police and surrounded by reporters—Tae-hyung had killed his father. As the time loop restarts again, Seok-jin resolves to advance with his final rescue, vowing to himself that he must not fail again.
After saving the first five friends as before, Seok-jin finds Tae-hyung and offers him a drive home. While inside the car, Tae-hyung declines confiding his family problems. Instead, he reveals having recurring dreams about their friends’ ill fates. Tae-hyung describes them in exact detail—Yoon-gi's arson, Jung-kook falling from a building, Ho-seok's accident, Ji-min locked up in the hospital, and Nam-joon's imprisonment—to which Seok-jin is inwardly surprised. He reveals he had also seen himself in his dreams but, once he wakes up, he is unable to recall what happened to him in the dream.
As the two arrive at an apartment, both hear an angry voice seeming to come from Tae-hyung's dad. Sensing his father's tantrum, Tae-hyung rushes to the apartment with Seok-jin tailing behind him. Seeing his older sister being beaten up by their father, the enraged Tae-hyung strikes his father down with an empty liquor bottle, which broke at the sheer force. As Tae-hyung aims the broken bottle at his father to kill him, Seok-jin intervenes and takes the fatal stab.
While Tae-hyung mourns over his dying body, Seok-jin wonders if he had eventually ended all of his friends’ miseries. He opens his eyes and finds himself back home in his bedroom on April 11, the start of the loop. He realizes that he cannot save his friends and escape from the time loop all by himself. While holding a photo of their group, Seok-jin sees petals showering on him. With realization of the possibly new chance given to him, he concludes on how he could escape his destiny and prevent those of his friends:
The five characters are in their early twenties, fresh from leaving university and wanting to get into politics by forming a new political party (which, throughout the first two series, was unnamed as the group cannot decide on one, adopting the placeholder name of 'Team Jared' when contesting a by-election). Simon is direct and finds himself arguing with Mel on many key points, though he also has a quick wit. Jared sees himself as the leader of the group, while also providing the meeting venue of his parents' garden shed (or 'summer house' as he always insists on calling it). Mel also considers herself to be a leader figure and argues with Jared about the direction they should go, with her having a strong will. Phoebe is the optimist of the group, though is often somewhat naïve. Duncan is the new arrival to the group and was initially only invited due to his stepfather owning a printing shop. He initially believed that his first meeting with the group was his birthday party, and is seen as dim-witted by the others. On occasion, he has taken on serious roles within the party by accident, briefly serving as leader as an impromptu leadership election resulted in everyone else losing due to disapproval voting, and when the party contested a by-election in Corby he was interviewed on radio after being mistaken for Jared, the actual candidate.
Meetings are held to discuss policy, though the group spends much time in conflict and getting little done, with any policies that are suggested or adopted being outlandish, based on anecdotes or misconceptions, offensive, or otherwise terrible. These include:
