Zenith: Breaker of the Chorus

A monster called the Mind Flare escapes an experimental tower, using mind-controlling waves to turn people violent. Zenith, immune to its power, joins survivors in Zone Zero but chooses to fight the creature alone. In ruined Echo City, he confronts the Mind Flayer, reforges his broken spear into a blade, and kills it—freeing the city. But the controlled victims collapse dead, and Zenith himself falls, leaving his victory bittersweet.
