Opening Scene: A Raging Clockscape
Time distorts around Nel as he's pulled into a place beyond reality—The Inner Spiral—a sentient realm inside his core, created by the collision of Bangador, Dextor, and Ozgath.
He awakens on a platform orbiting a fractal sun. In the distance: three thrones—empty but radiating energy.
Suddenly, three echoes appear:
Bangador's echo: a hulking figure made of explosion and silence.
Dextor's echo: a cloaked tactician of glowing code and equations.
Ozgath's echo: a serpentine shadow with countless eyes and paradoxes.
Each speaks with a voice inside his mind:
> Bangador: "Destroy the Architect. Break free."
> Dextor: "Reprogram the system. Take control."
> Ozgath: "Dissolve identity. Embrace the unknowable."
Nel: "I don't want any of that. I just want to protect the people I care about."
> All three echoes: "Then choose what kind of Primordial you will be."
Suddenly, Nel is split into three copies of himself—each wielding a different philosophy:
One filled with rage (Bangador)
One with calculation (Dextor)
One with madness and freedom (Ozgath)
He must fight… himself.

Meanwhile: Outside, in the Countdown Arena
The rest of the crew finds themselves in a dimension that resembles warped versions of Keningau landmarks, floating and disintegrating.
Chelestar: Now with two tails glowing, senses the Architect's code woven into the fabric of space.
> Chelestar: "We have 71 hours before existence resets."
Kriz Neo, with his Kriz Scythe, leads the team:
> "Split up. Each zone holds a failsafe crystal. We need to destroy them before the timer hits zero."
Zones:
1. Keningau Sports Complex – guarded by phantom Fenrirs.
2. SK White Mist ruins – twisted into a logic maze.
3. Bingkor Market – frozen in time with shadow-clones of themselves hunting them.
Elly May activates Phantom Split, using clones to scout all areas, while Kriztan Nico overrides the Architect's digital guardians.
> Kriztan: "Dad's coding is sloppy when he's panicking."
Suddenly, a new enemy appears—the Clockbound Exiles, failed experiments of The Architect, sent to stop them.

Back Inside Nel's Trial
Nel defeats the rage-self and logic-self—but struggles with the madness-self, which whispers truths and lies:
> "You don't know who you are because you were never meant to exist."
Nel: "That's what makes me powerful. I write my own origin."
The three parts merge—and Nel evolves.
> A symbol forms on his chest: a three-fold sigil with a broken circle, shifting triangle, and a spiral with no center.
He is no longer just a child of the Bang—he is the True Primordial.

Final Scene
As Nel exits the Inner Spiral, he sees the countdown now reads:
> [REBOOT IN: 48 HOURS]
But now… he controls the Spiral.
> Nel: "I'm rewriting the end."
