This page contains the official story elements included in The Great Finale of Lunar Overture Event. Most of the content is expressed through cutscenes, though some dialogue is important to the storyline. This is entirely considered non-canon as the Rift Walker ended up intervening and rewriting history to remove the event from reality.[1]
Opening Cutscene
[edit]| 1/3 | 2/3 | 3/3 |
|---|---|---|
This cutscene would play when the timer counted down to 0:00 before the match starts. The player's point of view is changed to a full screen third person view of the cutscene when the cutscene begins.
Synopsis
[edit]The following summarizes the events shown in the opening cutscene.
A Solar Theatres stage is shown, with multiple audience seats. The Narrator can be seen talking to an audience, mentioning that the show is experiencing technical difficulties, before screaming at two workers to get back to work. Afterwards, a cart is brought to him by an Actor3, in which due to limited funding he reenacts the events of the Solar Eclipse Event.
The Narrator shows the Scout, Gladiator and Commander, all as popsicle cutouts, confronting The Umbra and defeating her. After finishing, he thanks the audience and talks to them about The Umbra.
He gets cut off by Penumbras falling down from the ceiling with the God Cube, so that he can inform the Narrator that he managed collect all the fragments to rebuild it. He then wants to bring back The Umbra with it, however, the Narrator, gets into an argument with him. Penumbras, confused why he is lashing out on him keeps asking if they can revive her.
Since Penumbras has served his purpose and ruined their plans, the Narrator gets one of his Hands to slam the Penumbras from above, killing him. Afterwards, he focuses on the T.D.S. Organization. As his intentions are now known to them, he decides that he needs to destroy them so that he can bring back Lord Exo.
Script
[edit]The following is a script-based transcription of the events shown in the opening cutscene.
Stage is shown, with Narrator standing on it while talking to the audience.
Narrator: Um... It seems we're having some technical difficulties, ahem.. No worries!
Narrator: Um.. HEY YOU! GET BACK TO WORK BEFORE I...!
Narrator: Excuse my outburst, but no matter what, the show must go on!
A cart pulled by an Actor3 arrives. The camera moves to show the inside of the cart, then multiple popsicle cutouts of characters are shown.
Narrator: Now, due to limited funding, I will demonstrate myself a reenactment of what happened next.
"Commander": Your reign of terror ends here Umbra!
"The Umbra": Ahahahaha! How adorable, join me or die! WAAAAAAAAAH!
"Commander": RAARRGH! WE WON'T LET YOU DESTROY THE WORLD! RARGGHH!
"The Umbra": AAAAHHH NOOOO IT SCAAREED ME AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
Narrator: That voice crack was totally unexpected![2]
Camera pans over to show the Narrator coming out of the cart.
Narrator: Sigh Thank you, thank you.
Narrator: And that concludes the Umbra's tale.
Narrator: Such a tragic end for the esteemed lunar mistress, who deep down was just a mortal girl who wanted to protect so-
The God Cube and Penumbras fall down from the ceiling.
Narrator: Wa- Wait a minute... Is.. IS- IS THAT?
Penumbras: I finally did it, after all of this time I gathered all of the pieces, we can finally bring her back.
Narrator: WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?!
Penumbras: You said to bring the rest of the fragments to you.
Narrator: And you just plop them right in front of the en- eh- guests!
Narrator: This is ruined, everything is just ruined!
Narrator: To think I ever asked a SIDE CHARACTER like YOU for help!
Camera moves to show Penumbras and later one of the Hands.
Penumbras: What do you mean? We can still bring her back right?
Penumbras: That's what you promised me!
Penumbras: What the- What are you-
Penumbras is slammed and killed by one of the Hands. Camera now shows the Narrator again.
Narrator: Nothing else matters anymore, not him, not this DAMN show, NOTHING ELSE!
Narrator: What matters is my own story, so let me start it off WITH YOUR DEMISE!
Ending Cutscene
[edit]This cutscene would play after the player has defeated the Narrator's hands. The player's point of view is changed to a full screen third person view of the cutscene when the cutscene begins.
Synopsis
[edit]The following summarizes the events shown in the opening cutscene.
A defeated Left Hand is shown collapsing in the Solar Theatres. The Narrator does not want to accept his defeat and decides he will continue fighting, until he gets teleported out of the theater. A Level 4 Minigunner and Commander are then shown, visibly confused on where he went.
Later, we are shown a blocky area with a giant computer, which the Narrator is teleported to. It is not known who this area belongs to, until the camera moves to reveal that this is the throne room of Lord Exo's prison.
A conversation between the two begins, and while Lord Exo does move as if he was talking, no words can be heard. Lord Exo picks up the Narrator with his mind. The Narrator then this tries to apologize to him for failing, promising to do better. Lord Exo displeased decides to bring up a large grey cuboid. After Narrator realizes what is about to happen, he begs for his life, but that does not stop Lord Exo. The Narrator is then disassembled and removed from the prison.
Script
[edit]The following is a script-based transcription of the events shown in the ending cutscene.
Left Hand is shown on the stage, collapsing to the ground. The Narrator later comes out.
Narrator: No no no no no no no no...
Narrator: This is MY SHOW! I won't let you humiliate me like this!
Narrator: I won't-
The Narrator disappears and then the camera moves to show a Level 4 Minigunner and Commander, confused why the Narrator suddenly disappears.
Now a blocky area is shown with a giant computer in one of its walls. The Narrator is teleported into it
Narrator: Huh? Ahh! What, wha?
Narrator: Where is this? Wha-
Camera moves to reveal a throne, more specifically Lord Exo's prison throne. Camera moves back to the Narrator.
Narrator: Oh.
Narrator: Oh no...
Camera shows Lord Exo again. While he does move, no words can be heard from him. He picks up the Narrator with his mind.
Narrator: What..? LORD EXO, WAIT!
Narrator: WAIT! Please, I'm sorry!
Narrator: I know today wasn't my best like, I promise, I'm gonna get the cube back for you!
A grey cuboid appears.
Narrator: No no NO NO! PLEASE DON'T EVAPORATE ME!
Narrator: I will do better, no- the best!
Narrator: No no nonono NOO! LORD EXO, DON'T DO THIS TO MEEEEEEEE-
The Narrator is torn apart by Lord Exo, then his torn limbs are either teleported away from the prison or removed from reality.
Soundtracks
[edit]This cutscene has music tracks that can be heard in the background, though it is extremely unlikely that these were actually meant to play in-game. The more probable reason for their appearance here is that the person recording the cutscene was listening to that track and did not remove it from the video.
Notes
