This page contains the official story elements included in Night III of the Hexscape Event. Most of the content is expressed through cutscenes, though some dialogue is important to the storyline.

Story Overview

This is the third night for the Hexscape Event, meaning that the story takes place after the events in The Nightmare Realm.

Commander, Scout and Minigunner escape from the Hex Realm after defeating the Conserver. This, however, released corrupted energy into the Eclipsed Village, completely destroying it. The source of the energy was also detected to be coming towards the portal, alongside the hostiles from the realm. Scout tries to shut down the portal, but to no avail. Dispatcher then sends in Hallow Punk and Harvester to help out fend off the incoming forces.

While the T.D.S. Organization defends the ruins of the Eclipsed Village, Dispatcher finds out that the source of the energy is a God Cube fragment. The energy released from the fragment has also corrupted the inhabitants of the realm, though so far none of them are visibly corrupted.

Later, while looking into the realm, the Dispatcher is unable to find it in the records, which would make Children of Exo the first to access it. This turns out to not be the case, as the realm has been accessed before but through a private realm network, which likely belongs to Lord Exo. She also informs the agents that it is not possible to close the portal, meaning they have to defeat every enemy coming out of it.

Constant roars can be heard from an entity, which the Dispatcher seems to recognize. She finds out these were first heard around the time of the Overture Incident. The source is believed to be a powerful entity corrupted by the God Cube, taken by Lord Exo sometime after The Umbra was defeated. How it ended up in the Hex Realm is not known.

As the battle goes on, two fully corrupted entities come out of the portal. The first is Titus and the second is Conserver. They got corrupted by the release of energy that happened shortly after the Conserver was defeated. While fighting the Conserver, he reveals that his defeat released something which he has been conserving in the Hex Realm. This entity would be the source of the corrupted energy. Both of the corrupted enemies are defeated, with Titus specifically being confirmed dead.

Eventually, the source of the corruption comes out of the portal. This turns out to be a God Cube fragment wielded by the Primordial Drakobloxxer. The T.D.S. Organization gets into a fight with it and once defeated, attempt to take its fragment. The Hallow Punk, which was seen at the start of the fight, is nowhere to be seen when the T.D.S. Organization attempts to retrieve the fragment. However, they are stopped by the Children of Exo, who take the shard themselves, eventually escaping through a portal with it. Dispatcher then mentions gearing up so that they can deal with the cultists.

After securing the fragment for themselves, they decide to use it to invade the T.D.S. Organization. Ramiel, one of the three remaining cultists, is then sent to start the Operation I.C.E.

With the Primordial Drakobloxxer defeated, the three agents rush to the God Cube fragment to pick it, but two men show up and one picks it first, while the other man mockingly thanks the team for doing all the work for them. Both the cultists rush into the portal and the agents go after them, only for the portal to deactivate, much to the Dispatcher's anger.

The screen turns pitch black, one of the cultists informs another that T.D.S has caught on to them, asking for instructions. He is simply answered that with the God Cube fragment, T.D.S does not pose a threat and will be crushed with a swift invasion, revealing eyes and halo of the Frost Spirit. The cultist then tells Ramiel to initiate Operation I.C.E, ending the cutscene.

???: Thank you for doing all the grunt work for us mere mortals!

The cultists run to the portal

Dispatcher: (Grunts) STOP THEM!!!!!

???: Until we meet again you ragtag crew of brawn for brains!

After another cultist said his final message, he also enters the portal, then it is turned off

Dispatcher: This... Couldn't have been their plan this entire time.

Dispatcher: Well, let's gear up, and bring these cultists to justice...

The screen turns pitch black

?????: It seems T.D.S. has caught on to us. How should we handle them?

???: With a shard of the God Cube in our possession, they're no longer a threat.

???: We'll crush them with a swift invasion.

???: Ramiel, initiate Operation I.C.E.

Two eyes and a halo are revealed

Ramiel: Yes sir!
