86 EIGHTY-SIX (2021 - 2022)

The Republic of San Magnolia fights a safe humane war using drones. In reality, however, the drones are piloted by humans called 86s, who are called “pigs” and considered less than human.

As Lena lives a life of safety and comfort inside the walls of her city, the 86ers fight a terrible battle against an unstoppable and inhuman enemy.

Lena learns the truth about the upcoming end of the war, and how the Legion is a much more deadly threat than she thought.

The team prepares for a final suicide mission against "Morpho," a massive railgun Legion capable of single-handedly turning the tide of the battle.

Nordlicht finds themselves up against a massive foe in the middle of enemy territory, with no hope of escape and no reinforcements coming to help.

At the end of it all and left behind once more, Shin is at the brink. Just then, someone appears, in a sea of red flowers...

The operation to destroy the Morpho was a success, and Shin and his team fulfilled their promise to return to the Federacy alive.
