Resonance of Fate

Das Ende klärt einen überhaupt nicht auf, eher wirft es noch Rätsel auf... Was ist dieses rote Symbol das aufeinmal überall erscheint? Soll es das Ende von Zenith bedeutet, unabhängigkeit von Basel? Anders kann ich mir nicht erklären wie Leanne den Aufprall ihres Quarz überlebt hat... Oder war es der von jemand anderem? Wenn ja, keiner starb? Also?

Was genau war Rebecca? Sie kommt anscheinend von ausserhalb Bazels. Was hat Sullivan geplant? (Ich weiß das ich nach Neverland kann und die beiden nochmal treffe, villt klärt das ja etwas auf? Ich denke nicht...)

Welche Motivation hatte Rowen? Alles ziemlich unschlüssig... Enttäuschend eher gesagt. Rowen wollte sterben, wegen all dem was er getan hat, bereut aber angeblich nichts und will zum Ende hin noch Leanne töten? Oder eher die Truppe dazu bringen ihn zu töten? Hm, der Charabruch ist total hohl, vorallem der Auslöser? Sullivan hat ihn angelogen? Mit was? Nur weil das Experiment einen "Fehlschlag" (Leanne) hatte?

Das Geschehen um Zenith wird auch nicht geklärt, kein Plan warum es die Leute kontrolliert, kein Plan woher es kommt, warum der Quarz? Was ist mit dem Plan es zu steuern?

Countless years after the move to the tower, Prelate Frieda dreams of a world where people could live free of this quartz, and enjoy a life on their own terms. She pushed for the idea of a world where people would control their own destiny. Because of this preaching, she attracted the cardinals as followers, with Cardinal Rowen as her closest friend and follower. Her ideas were appealing to people, but also radical, and she was unfortunately killed.

The death of Prelate Frieda drove Cardinal Rowen into a state of despair. He wanted to bring her back, as he loved her dearly. He discovered the truth of Zenith, and its powers over life and death, and wanted to exploit them to bring her back. He commissioned Sullivan to find a way to do this, and the experiments began. They found 20 children, and began using the quartz to experiment on their lifespans and seeing the effects it had, ultimately setting their quartz to cause them to expire on a certain birthday. However Juris, who was in charge of the experiment, took a liking to subject #20 (Leanne), and began to feel guilty over what they had done to the children.

With the disease ravaging humanity, some people were left outside to die. Some of them developed mutations to allow them to not only beat off the disease, but become incredibly strong and able to survive in this environment. They became effectively immortal and they hated Basel and the Zenith system for abandoning them. Rebecca, a human who lives outside of Basel, attacked the city because of this fury, and slaughtered many of the people, until she got to Vashyron.

Vashyron was a "Knight of Zenith", a person blessed by the Zenith system. When she attacked him, Zenith struck out against her, breaking her mind as well as saving his life. In this state Sullivan found her, and saw an opportunity. Sullivan dreamed of living outside of Basel, and this test subject would be perfect for his research. If he could copy her traits, he could free people from the place once and for all.

Zephyr was angry at having his fate taken from him. He flew into a rage, killing those involved and blowing up the Seminary. He expected to die for what he had done, only to be saved by Zenith itself after Vashyron shot him in the head twice. He decided to live to try to figure out why he was spared, and worked for Vashyron. One year later, Leanne was nearing the time of her appointed death after running away. She attempted to kill herself, wanting to die on her own terms, only to have Zephyr catch her in the air and save her life. In her, he found a reason for living. She became the reason that "God" (Zenith) spared his life, and he had to care for her. Meanwhile, she lived on, despite Cardinal Rowen saying she would not.

Sullivan is taking the research that has been conducted and want to make the ultimate tool, something to control Zenith. He takes Cardinal Rowen's ring, and binds the control system into it, eventually providing him with control over life and death in Basel. With this incredible power coming to him, Cardinal Rowen has a crisis of faith, as he is going from following God to being God himself. If God can be controlled, than his faith is being shaken to the core. Meanwhile, Sullivan is studying Rebecca to find a way for humans to live utterly apart from Zenith, in secret. Their goals are both in line with Prelate Frieda to an extent, but different methods. Cardinal Rowen seeks to control Zenith, while Sullivan seeks to leave it entirely.

Meanwhile, Leanne walks past Cardinal Rowen at Christmas, and he realizes she is alive. This causes his internal issues to come to a head as she shouldn't be if Zenith can be truly controlled as Sullivan has said. He needs to believe that there truly is a God beyond Zenith, and sees her continued existence as proof of that possibility. Or perhaps Sullivan just lied to him about the experiments. He needs to know which one is correct, so he goes to hunt Sullivan down and get answers.

Cardinal Rowen overhears Sullivan telling the heroes that he has Leanne quartz, and if he is killed her quartz will be destroyed and she will die. Cardinal Rowen shoots Sullivan, expecting Leanne to die shortly after due to this, and prove that there is no God, or live, and validate the existence of God. This sets Zephyr on a rampage of revenge, as his reason for existence has just been effectively killed in front of his eyes, and he swears to hunt Cardinal Rowen down and kill him.

Cardinal Rowen then gathers his forces into the Basilica, waits for the heroes to come kill him, and speak about how if God wants to stop it to step in and do so. He is attempting to force God's hand, and validate his faith. The heroes fights their way to him, confronts him, and ultimately defeats him, with Zephyr putting a bullet through his heart. But he lives due to his own control of Zenith. He realizes that the experiment was a success, due to his survival, and uses the power of Zenith to ensure the survival of the other Cardinals. Vashyron recognizes the symbol, and has the party just leave, realizing that fighting is futile given the power Cardinal Rowen wields.

After the fight Rebecca destroys the quartz she was given by Sullivan. Cardinal Rowen realizes that his faith was misplaced and discards the ring. Sullivan somehow obtained immortality through his hidden experiment, and join Rebecca in the outside world. The story ends with Leanne looking into the sky seeing her quartz was in her hand all along, with Zephyr and Vashyron at her side, outside of Basel.

Sullivan hat es irgendwie geschafft sein Experiment um die Unsterblichkeit zu vollenden und ist jetzt, wie Rebecca, unsterblich (nur ohne Flügel und Hörner^^). Man kämpft gegen beide, Rebecca ist nach dem Kampf verschwunden (tot? wird nicht drauf eingegangen) und Sullivan überlebt und verkündet dabei "Wir werden uns wiedersehen." Zephyr sagt daraufhin "Von mir aus, dann bringen wir dich zu diesem Zeitpunkt eben endgültig um." Es ist nicht sicher ob die Truppe ihn leben lässt, nachdem Sullivan verkündet das "dies die Grenzen seines Körpers" seien und zu Boden geht, antwortet Zephyr daraufhin "gut, uns ist gerade die Munition ausgegangen."

In Nerverland trifft man sogar Pater wieder, der aber anscheinend keine Story hat und einfach nur aus Fun dort als Boss eingesetzt wurde.
