As the comet hangs precariously in the sky and Grablins dance in the streets, the first wave of Ghaustus Gundrake's forces attack!
Undead Centaurii dance on deck in anticipation as a Bone Giant hurls cursed skulls into the streets of Coriander, where they sprout into a skeleton horde!
The crew must stop the threat, but how to get to town fast enough? Taking a chance, Squalor opens a ring portal to what he hopes is the real Dima. The crew pour through, meeting Dima and her Praetorian bodyguards. Excitedly, the Praetorians recognize the crew of Fur Feather Friends- not just stories, but real and in person!
The crew and Praetorians rush into the streets and clash with the undead, townsfolk running and screaming everywhere.
Purket deftly blasts a skeleton horde with a well placed bomb. Squalor engages in melee, smashing bony threats into powder.
Griff holds back the unnatural tide, druid magic flowing like fire barely controlled.
Knowing the crew's strength will not be enough, Tara reaches through dimensions into the Shadowlands to call forth a Promaxis Panzer.
The crew and Praetorians barely manage to protect the terrified civilians and crazed Grablins. Pandemonium.
Marrowfangs climb the rooftops and run amok. Marlin Gandor freezes them in their tracks...
Suddenly, a sinewy panzer launches from beneath the fortress, scything through wooden ships and cursed bones as it passes.
The Skurge is here! Where is it headed... and who is inside?
In a sudden vision, Griff is visited by a golden Drakewyrm that is Theia's reborn form.
Theia: "I know that Dracontyr spirit... It is Ossus, the Dracontyr of Death inside the Skurge, trapped as I was trapped in the golden Wingal...
The Comet must be powerful enough to destroy the Skurge!"
Griff: "Ossus! I beseech thee.. Why masquerade as Empress Dima? Why must the people of Coriander... die?"
Ossus: "Humans... They trapped the souls of Mortal and Dracontyr to build their unholy empire. I have lured them here, and drawn forth my ancient foe. Ghast will finally be destroyed, and our souls will finally be freed."
Aboard his death galleon The Endless, Ghaustus Gundrake plots his next move. "By guile or by force, I will claim these people's souls. Prepare the Panzergheist!"
As Ghaustus boards his Panzergheist, another vision flashes in Griff's mind. Ghaustus Gundrake was never a man. In fact he is a projection of Ghast, posessing generations of Mandrakes to inflict his will on mankind!

From the bowels of The Endless, hordes of Devourers and Juggers pour forth, encased in metal and fueled by trapped spirits.
Then the massive, bestial form of the Panzergheist looms forth...
Charging through the fray, Tara's Promaxis leaps aboard the Endless to strike the Panzergheist down!
But the blows barely leave a mark, and the machine beast grapples Tara's Promaxis...
..and hurls it into the town!
Tara's panzer smashes into and destroys a building! Somehow he survives.
Gloomhounds, Juggers, and Devourers attack the town from all directions. It's all Squalor can do to protect them from death - or worse...
The Skurge launches out of the water at its nemesis, slashing at the Panzergheist amidst the chaos.
Then, a familiar ship hoves into view- the Cerulean, with Aurans and a Panzer aboard!
Cali brazenly steers the ship into the docks with a crash! If the crew can just reach their Aurans and Panzers in time...
Squalor charges towards the Cerulean, bashing his way through wraiths...
...and knocking Juggers and Devourers off the docks on his way!
Griff leaps into a cart, barely evading a costumed fan as he deftly rides past friend and foe alike.
Determined to stop the Panzergheist at any cost, Tara reboards The Endless... and Purket rides along, barely holding on as the Promaxis tramples Devourers and cannons aside.
Griff and Purket swing onto the deck of the Cerulean to board their Aurans. To battle!
Finally clear of the enemy Panzers, Squalor grapples aboard the Cerulean...
...and transfers his spirit flame into the brawling Panzer. Gramblarr secures Squalor's body to the deck so it doesn't fall overboard...
As Squalor's panzer climbs aboard The Endless, an enemy panzer ambushes him! The Hellsau, fueled by tortured souls, ruthlessly trades blows with Squalor.
Dima and Danya return with the repaired Wingals, to help save the town from ghastly threat.

Fighting everywhere is overshadowed by a terrifying sight- the comet flares, and slowly begins to move!
Cali and Purket share a cunning thought, and both fire Magnet arrow magic into the Comet itself, hoping to pull the enemy Panzers into the fire!
Coins, weapons, tools, cannons, and even smaller Panzers are pulled up into the air towards the passing comet!
Griff joins in the insane plan, and summons a storm to blast the Panzergheist with a negative charge.

But the lightning blast also hits Tara and the Skurge!
The ship's deck explodes into fire, and all three Panzers are pulled up into the sky...
Feeling the tug of force on his Panzer, Squalor smashes into the Hellsau, knocking it loose.
Griff lobs grenades on deck to help send the Hellsau on its way, and Squalor barely manages to hold on!
Deep in the comet fire, a hideous creature screeches out of the Panzergheist- the ancient threat known as Ghast!
As Ghast tries to escape the flames, Tara and Ossus bitterly hold him down. No one will escape the comet's destruction.
By some miracle, the Comet has changed course just enough to miss Coriander and head out to sea...
Heading north towards Agrippa Island, the crew give chase, terrified that the strike could still cause untold damage. Thinking quickly, Dima takes the rings that bound her and Squalor, and hurls them into the comet.
As the comet descends, it's destination becomes clear. The giant whirlpool that had sucked the crew in years ago traps the deadly blast as the comet lands.
Fire and vapor rocket into the sky, ending Ghast's reign of terror, and releasing thousands of souls trapped inside!
In the Afterlands, Tara is greeted by the freed souls of Mattock, Aquitar, and "Gram-grams" herself, Cassiopea.
The Guardian of the afterlands addresses Tara. "It seems your previous escape from the Afterlands was not so bad a thing. You have done a great service. Perhaps we can call upon you to visit the living world again some day."
Coriander, A.C. 4225.5.5
A ceremony honors all who fell during the second great Cataclysm. Effigies of Tara adorn every window. But all is not sorrow...
The union of Dima and Danya is presided over by Ryan Clawfeather. Dima speaks.
"People of Arcadia. Thank you for showing me a world where Human, Animas, Druuvan, Aelvyn, Dracontyr, Living, Spirit, past and present are as one. Please accept... my resignation as the Last Empress. Let me be instead the first... Arcadian."
The seriousness of ceremony is suddenly broken by a burst of music, everyone joins in...
