On a Saturday in 2733 (Season 6-7), Crypto and his team took last place in Apex Games. Mirage offers Crypto drinks in his bar. While Crypto declined initially, he eventually decides to accept Mirage's offer. Afterwards, Mirage tags along with Crypto who is going to meet a developer of high-end tech. In the club, the developer approaches Crypto, holding a metal briefcase. When Crypto inquires if his desired information is within the briefcase, the developer states no (he could send it over instead); instead the developer wants protection from Crypto, noting that Crypto is a Legend, and he knows how to hide and hack. The developer further elaborates that he works in a design laboratory for a Boss Willis, and Crypto quickly catches on that the developer is part of the Syndicate. Suddenly, Revenant enters the scene and attempts to stab the Developer, but instead hooks the metal briefcase thanks to Mirage's intervention. When pressed by Mirage, Revenant reveals that the Syndicate hired him to kill the developer. A fight quickly breaks out between the three Legends before Crypto stuns Revenant with his EMP pulse, allowing him, Mirage, and the informant escape with the briefcase. When the developer demands his briefcase back in his hand, Crypto states that his EMP is suppose to fry whatever that's inside, but the developer corrects him, saying the briefcase is shielded. Revenant eventually catches up to them, and using his totem, summons a pack of prowlers to attack the three. Eventually, Revenant manages to capture Crypto and offers Mirage to trade Crypto for the briefcase. However, Mirage chooses to jump off the roof with the briefcase...

From a distance, Wattson watches the fight, with a figure behind her saying their blood is on her hands.
