A conflict arises between Lace, Rogue, and the Gatekeepers on one side, and Cross and the Ravens on the other. The entire struggle might center around Fateus, a mysterious token that draws the attention of the Heavens and the other Gates. Around this time, Fateus becomes a Gatekeeper, creating friction as the Heavens demand his surrender. When the Gatekeepers refuse to turn him over, this defiance sets off a chain of events.

Cross, serving as a military-minded antagonist, is driven by a greater force—a hidden figure pushing for the creation of a new watch. Cross arrives, seeking either Cadence or Fateus, believing that Cadence, a renowned scientist, may hold the key to building the watch. The Gatekeepers hold their ground against him, resulting in a tense standoff.

At a crucial moment, the Heavens stand at a painted line, a symbolic boundary, giving the Gatekeepers one last chance to act before they break their own rules and step over it. This marks a turning point in the confrontation.

Before the final clash, Rogue, surrounded by his soldiers, makes a stand against the enemy, declaring, "Some gates remain locked, some lie open for the taking, but this gate has a keeper. A keeper who yields was no keeper to begin with." Despite his courage, the Ravens launch a devastating assault on the Gate’s Keep, proving deadly to the Gatekeepers.

The revelation of the gavel in the Gate’s Keep is a dramatic twist. Until this point, it was thought to be missing or in the possession of someone else. A political figure from the Heavens unveils it, signaling imminent danger. As the official strikes the gavel twice, the Gatekeepers push through the Ravens to reach him. Rogue manages to grab the official’s arm, giving his allies a brief opportunity. But the official smiles, locking eyes with Rogue.

With a simple motion, the official releases the gavel, allowing it to fall to the ground. As the final strike reverberates, Rogue realizes the gavel’s power has sealed the fate of the remaining Gatekeepers. The life fades from his eyes as he and his comrades collapse, their lives extinguished by the gavel’s deadly power. Cross has won, and his strike of the gavel seals the defeat of the Gatekeepers—leaving only Lace and Cadence alive.

Sticker is also killed.

Lace and Cross engage in a brief confrontation, during which Lace is either captured or allowed to escape—Cross knowing he could kill her anytime. Meanwhile, the Heavens take Cadence, threatening to kill Lace if he does not create the watch.

is brock here???

IT MUST BE CADENCE, rogue must sacrifice himself for cadence this would be the completion of the perfect arc consider cadence is dawce’s father and how close she was to rogue. it would be the perfect culmination for rogue to give his life to dawce’s legacy

there obviously also scenes earlier must be moments where rogue and cadence meet and touch on the death of dawce
