Shadow Fall: Part One: Into the Unknown
In the outer space of the Mobius, the UFSF Ratatosk makes its way by the New Black Comet. Inside the ship, Team Dark–Shadow, Rouge, and Omega–along with the Spider Troupe with a Giga Tropper prepare to invade the comet, as the Spider Troupe reminds the team not to take this as a "warm welcome." The UFSF Ratatosk then stick a hallway to the comet, to where the Spider Troupe and Team Dark can enter the comet. With this, Team Dark and Spider Troupe are ambushed by Black Arm aliens. As Shadow successfully defeats a Black Assassin, he takes the Black Sword weapon from it and helps the Giga Tropper defeat a giant Black Oak via Shadow stabbing the Black Oak with the weapon he got in the alien's back. With this, Spider Troupe announces that they were able to defeat the Black Arm troop in the room. Omega requests more aliens to kill, but Rouge states that they will have plenty of more aliens to fight eventually. Shadow then believes that something is wrong considering that the heroes only faced a small fleet of aliens. The Spider Troupe then brings the Mjolnir-Class Tactical Nuclear Warhead, a bomb that could potentially destroy anything within a five-mile radius. Shadow then states that this will destroy the Black Arms completely, as their mission was to kill them all...

Days ago, the G.U.N. Commander calls a meeting with Team Dark and the Spider Troupe, discussing about the recent events about the planet Mobius. Shadow interrupts and wants the commander to hurry along with why they are at the meeting. The Commander then explains that while the majority of the G.U.N. forces are helping the world due to the global crisis, a new comet is heading towards Mobius, containing Black Arm aliens. Shadow and Rouge are shocked, considering that the Black Arms were destroyed long ago, it was assumed that the Black Arms were gone. However, the Commander states that the ARK has scanned the comet and confirms that the Black Arms are well inside the comet. The Commander then asks Shadow for any detail that Black Doom gave to [Shadow] during their takeover long ago. Shadow thinks for a second, and then tells the Commander that Black Doom only shared information concerning about the Black Arms' invasion on Mobius, not about other colonies of Black Arms. The Commander then gives the full plan on what Team Dark and the Spider Troupe will be doing, which is heading inside the comet, inserting a bomb, and wait until the bomb has detonated, to where it will destroy any trace of Black Arm soldiers. One of the Spider Troupe soldiers asks the Commander if the plan is overkill, but the Commander states that inserting the bomb is the simplest option. Plus, G.U.N. needs as much help as they can get, as there will be heavy resistance. Omega requests that he could destroy all of the aliens, but that is denied by the Commander. Team Dark and the Spider Troupe agree on this mission, but the Commander asks Rouge and Omega something privately after everyone is dismissed.
