Afterimage Four

The year is 4162. After the Event Horizon, the City lay weakened and fractured. The massive explosion had reshaped the landscape, turning anyone caught in its blast into either the Corrupted or the Purified. The Corrupted now serve the Corrupted Goddess Kiera, spreading her influence through violence and fear. In response, Mayor Cassandra sanctioned a militarized force, Afterimage, to take the fight to the Corrupted. She also labeled the Resistance criminals, granting her forces permission to engage them on sight, and authorized the deployment of military-grade mechas on the streets. Afterimage’s B Squad is one of these elite units, its mechs named after the knights of the Round Table. Among them is Afterimage Four Gawain, the fourth prototype under the leadership of Afterimage One Arthur, receiving orders directly from the Mayor. Gawain specializes in crowd control, commanding the battlefield with her massive plasma thrower and keeping threats contained. Her mission now is urgent. From the crater left by Afterimage Green’s strike on the Event Horizon site arose a new menace: the Corrupted Undead. Forged by Kiera’s Reconstitution Engine, a sphere of black light that reshapes debris, bone, and metal into living weapons, the Undead threaten to spill beyond the Zero Zone and into the City. Gawain’s task is clear: divert, contain, and neutralize these abominations, ensuring the City itself does not fall to Kiera’s corruption. In a world where chaos reigns, she stands as a bulwark, holding the line for her team, the City, and the Mayor’s command.
