Complete story — includes the ending

Rusty uses the deaths of the boys as an excuse to run away and avoid his responsibilities, only to be found and dragged back to the compound by Brock. J.J. has become more successful than him in his absence, having partially completed a teleporter that he asks him to finish. When Rusty unplugs it while standing inside, he accidentally splits his body into thirds and teleports them across the compound. Orpheus is shocked to learn that the boys have clone backups, having died many times, and Rusty explains that their "learning beds" that school them in their sleep are used to restore their brains. The imprisoned Monarch plots an escape, but the Guild catches wind of it and Phantom Limb bribes his accomplices to back out. When The Monarch is cornered by guards, accomplice King Gorilla is moved by his desperation to win Dr. Girlfriend back and helps him escape through the sewer line. Post-credits scene: The Monarch emerges outside the prison and finds the last third of Rusty's body.
