The Enemy of an Enemy is NOT a friend, shortly named "2 Cor-es 6/8" is the 36th and final episode of Project Zero-X.

Plot
2 Months after the death of Marcy, to protect the identities of the team, Ayato and the whole team (excluding Anna), residented in Hereford, UK to planning the assassination of General Hirashi.

The team were able to recover a dossier contains a blueprint for a nuclear missile, a strike-permit and the location of the site (Solnechnogorsk, USSR - now Russia), but without access to SONARTac's system, however, as the team were shutdowned, they have no other choise but to go full gruella.

Ayato then replied that he have a "couple" of old comrades residenting in St.Petersburg, who can help them get some weapons and a flight to the location, then meet up with Vadim and Igor, whom flowns them to the location, and infiltrate via HALO Jump.

Whilsts the first squad (Ayato, Uchino and "Tomoyo") were able to get in, the 2nd squad ("The Boss", Akagi and Torvald) got shotdown by Hirashi's gunsmen, killing Torvald in the process.

Upon entering the facility, the whole squad splitted out, only to got ambushed by Russian Spetnaz, which then founds out that Anna was in charge of them. Anna then told Ayato that she was wrong about the info from the beginning, which led to Marcy's death and the mis-understood betrayal to the team, then reveal that she no longer hunts Alpha down, but turns to Alpha for support.

Ayato then agreed, under the condition that she's no longer part of the team, and he have full permission to shot her down, which she then replied "it doesn't matter at this point anymore".The 2nd squad were able to not just enter the facility, but overheard the conversation, and agreed to helps her out under Ayato's rule.

The whole situation got turnt up when Hirashi's able to activated the missile control panels to launch TR-1001 Hydro-Accelerated Nuclear Missile to the US, Russia and Japan.

After fighting Hirashi's gunsman, the whole squadron were able to found the control panels, only to realize that the missiles only have 2 minutes left to takeoff. Uchino, Anna, Kyoko and Boss tries to deactivate the missle, while Akagi and Ayato go looking for Hirashi.

The 2 were able to found him, but then one of his men shot Ayato in the abdominals with a shotgun, severely wounded him, then knocks Akagi out. Hirashi explains to Ayato that the motive behinds the betrayal, stated that he lost the trust to the government after the country "fucking watched 5000 of his men dies within seconds", whilst his team (4th regiment) were 3 minutes late to the scene.

Hirashi then loads 3 rounds to his Colt .66 Magnum, 1 for Ayato, 1 for Kichiro, last one persumably for "The Boss", but Akagi were able to intervene and tackles Hirashi, kick the gun away, makes him miss the shot. Ayato tries to approach the guns, only to Akagi falls in between and Hirashi stomps on Ayato's head before stabs him in the chest.

Helplessly watching Akagi got beaten by Hirashi, he redirect to the knife in the chest, painfully pulls it out, then distracting Hirashi to throws the knife into his left eye, but the trajectory hits him in the heart insteads, which severly wounds him.

Whilst injured Ayato on the verge of passing out, almost "shocks" to his death, Akagi were able to recover and bandage his wounds to suppress the blood. At that moment, the missile were deactivated, turns the SOS lights to green, everyone then storms in and help Ayato get to the EVAC point. The whole team escapes via helicopter, then Ayato tolds the team that the war "has not ended... yet", before the credits rolling.

Trivia

 * The short-hand title of the episode, "2 Cor-es 6/8", is a reference to the 2nd Corinthian Bible Verse, 2 Cor 6:8 (We serve God whether people honor us or despise us, whether they slander us or praise us. We are honest, but they call us impostors). This is the reference to Team Alpha's point-of-view towards General Hirashi and his gunsman, General Hirashi's point-of-view towards the government.


 * The plot of the episode were based on a mix of Call of Duty Modern Warfare series missions:
 * First portion based on "Old Comrades" from Modern Warfare 2019 - often dubbed MW4.
 * The first-half of the second part based on the second-half of "No Fighting in The War Room" from MW1 (2004/2017)
 * The second-half of it based on "Endgame" from MW2 (2007/2018).
 * The third part based on Call of Duty Warzone Season 6 Trailer.
 * The ending based on the ending part from "Into the Furnace" in Modern Warfare 2019 and the final moments in "Endgame" in MW2.


 * Ayato's quote to the ending is based on Makishima Shougo's last quote to Kogami Shinya (before the latter executed Shougo) in the 22nd episode (11th on Blu-Ray BD version) of "Psycho-Pass", which is a reference to the Ayato's Voice Actor, Takahiro Sakurai, whom also portrayed Shougo.
 * Uchino's counter quote (Well you know the rule, the world isn't perfect as it seems, even if you tries to follow the laws.), is a mocking reference to the title of that episode, "Perfect World".
