The Technicians turn to see Briar and the others have reached the control room.

"You're the subjects from Night Raven College!" The first technician says in shock.

"You were put in isolated cells. How did you get here?!" The female technician asks, shocked

Jamil turns to the staff member, "Thank you for your help. You're free to go."

"Yes, sir..." The staff says in a daze, and soon released from Jamil's magic.

When he comes too, the Styx Staff begins to panic, "What?! Why am I here?! I thought I was on my way to an escape terminal!"

Soon, the technicians become aware of the situation.

The female technician says, "Brace yourselves, boys. Here they come! Subject D used his signature spell to control a member of our staff!"

"How we got here doesn't matter. Where's the acting director?" Leona says.

"Yes. Where's Idia?" Briar adds.

"Mr. Shroud is..." The male technician says.

Suddenly, a familiar voice appears, "If you're looking for my brother, he's with me."

Everyone in the room becomes shocked to hear the voice.

"That voice... Ortho?" Azul asks, shocked.

Suddenly, a holographic image of Ortho appears, and says, "You certainly are SSR Epic Troublemakers. Your cell doors were designed to not open from the inside.

"Oh, yes... Now that you mention it, something about them didn't seem quite right, but we managed to get them open," Vil says.

He then asks, "Now what exactly is going on? I believe we deserve an explanation from the boss. Where are you right now?"

"Sorry, my brother's indisposed at the moment, so you'll have to talk to me instead," Ortho says.

"But where are you right now?" Briar adds.

"We're currently in the lowest sector of Tartarus-the Underworld," Ortho says, "We're going to free all our friends trapped in here."

"Your friends?" Vil questions.

"You told me something interesting, Vil Schoenheit," Ortho says, "It will always be a zero-percent chance as long as you believe it impossible and refuse to act. I don't want to let zero stay zero. So I'm taking action to claim the future we want!"

"What do you mean by that...?" Vil asks, calm but sounds concerned.

"As long as Tartarus and the Underworld exist, we Watchmen can't leave the Island of Woe," Ortho explains, "But if we destroy the current world and rebuild it into one where we coexist with Phantoms. We'll be able to go anywhere! You see?"

"What?!" Everyone in the room exclaimed in shock.

Ortho turns to Vil, "Thank you for giving us a positive nudge in the right direction, Vil Schoenheit.

"So your plan is to release the Phantoms contained here and destroy the world?!" Vil asks.

Then Ortho explains, "This world has too much extraneous save data. It needs to reset before we can start a new game. We're going to do a clean boot. And opening Tartarus and the Underworld is the first step!"

"Unbelievable. You two want to remake the whole world?" Vil questions, shocked, "That's..." Suddenly, Vil begins to laugh, Heh... Hmhmhm... Ahahahaha! That's GOLD. Consider me impressed."

"What?" Ortho questions.

Then Vil says, "It's a major step up from moping about change being impossible! I applaud your effort."
