Jack Grayson sits alone in his office. His commanders warn him that Ghost now has support from Hermes, Athena, and Zephyrus Island. Without Mercenary funding, Wraith is collapsing. Jack refuses surrender. Ships hit the shore by dawn. Marc Marigold leads the assault beside Ellie, James, Mitch, Clint, Darren Rift, and Ken Danvers while allied troops storm the beaches. Wraith soldiers fight desperately to hold the line. Marc pushes into the compound and finally confronts Jack. Marc tells him this war has destroyed enough lives. Jack answers coldly that Grace is gone, and Ghost’s destruction is the only thing keeping him alive. He suddenly stabs Marc in the side. James opens fire, but Strider appears and covers Jack’s retreat deeper into the fortress. The battle intensifies. Marc and James fight room to room until a massive blast collapses part of the structure, separating them. James searches through smoke-filled halls until Strider steps from the shadows. Strider blames James for taking everything from him. James tries convincing him the war doesn’t have to end with more death, but Strider attacks. James dodges, rips the knife from Strider’s belt, and knocks away his pistol. Strider lunges again before stopping suddenly. He looks down to see the knife buried in his stomach. As he collapses, James quietly tells him Ellie would never love him. Above them, Marc corners Jack in the top office overlooking the ocean. They fight brutally across shattered glass and broken furniture. Jack grabs a hidden handgun and fires into Marc’s throat. Marc collapses choking before his skin turns gold, healing the wound. Jack kicks him back down and prepares another shot—but James enters and shoots Jack in the chest. Jack staggers backward. Marc rises, aims his tommy gun, and fires again. Jack crashes through the window and falls onto the armored wall, decapitating him. Wraith falls. With the war finally over, Marc Marigold is sworn in as President of the United Islands.
