• Ye Mo followed energy conduits into a ventilation duct and spotted a lit terminal with a larger rune-carved black chip inserted beside it.
• The system detected a high-concentration particle aggregation three hundred meters away and warned Ye Mo that the tracking route was nearing its final stage.

Ye Mo called in Thor and Emma Frost to help search for the spreading particles, then split up with them to scan the surface, underground, and upper atmosphere. As signals faltered, their reports revealed activity both beneath him and in a descending particle cloud, while Ye Mo closed in on a glowing rocky pit.

• Ye Mo used a vibranium fragment to summon Thor and Emma Frost, then explained that the system had identified a particle trail he could not search alone.
• Ye Mo, Emma Frost, and Thor divided the search: Ye Mo followed the surface route, Emma scanned sealed underground cavities, and Thor patrolled at high altitude.

• The destroyed formation freed Mjolnir, and Thor regained his lightning while Ye Mo subdued the last standing Dark Elf.
• Thor pulled Ye Mo back when the Dark Elf Ye Mo had knocked away rose again and transformed black slime into a venomous scythe.

Ye Mo and Thor defeated the Dark Elves attacking them, then teamed up to search for the remaining Aether while tracking whoever else was collecting it. Their search uncovered a strange mass of energy that responded to Thor’s lightning, leaving them to investigate what it was.

• Ye Mo used a Vibranium fragment to hinder a Dark Elf’s regeneration, then helped Thor channel lightning that destroyed the enemy.
• Thor killed one fleeing Dark Elf with Mjolnir while another escaped into a fissure.
• Ye Mo and Thor agreed to stay together, combining Ye Mo’s tracking with Thor’s ability to sense energy fluctuations as they searched for the remaining Aether.
• Ye Mo found traces of Aether below a collapsed opening and determined that the target had moved northwest, possibly while someone else collected it.
• A dark-gold mist emerged from a fissure, and Thor found that the floating energy mass responded to his lightning without acting aggressively.

Ye Mo used a newly unlocked healing ability to treat Emma Frost and Thor, while Emma sensed the golden mist was responding to Ye Mo’s energy. The group resumed tracking the Aether, but faint golden light began seeping from a crack in the ground.

• Ye Mo noticed Emma Frost and Thor were critically injured and told them to sit so he could heal them.
• Ye Mo activated a warm healing field that restored much of Emma Frost’s shoulder and Thor’s injured arm, though both experienced strange effects during treatment.

• Bucky advanced toward the exhausted Ye Mo, Steve, and Emma Frost as the battle remained unfinished.

Ye Mo and Steve pursued Bucky into an underground passage, where a trap sealed them inside a force-field cage that suppressed their abilities and adapted to their behavior. Emma Frost discovered the trap was learning from their reactions and warned them to stay still, while the machinery outside continued to approach.

• Bucky fled into an underground passage, and Ye Mo and Steve followed before an alloy plate sealed the entrance behind them.
• The passage walls nearly crushed Ye Mo and Steve, then electrified fencing and a force-field dome trapped them while a pulse field suppressed Ye Mo's powers and system.
• Emma Frost used her weakened telepathy to investigate the trap and warned Ye Mo not to touch the walls or struggle against its adaptive defenses.
• Ye Mo heard Emma's fragmented warnings and told Steve the trap learned from their responses, so they conserved their strength and remained still.
• The machinery outside continued to hum closer as Ye Mo and Steve waited inside the cage with no visible escape.

Ye Mo used his unstable telepathy to reach through the Winter Soldier’s mental defenses and awaken a trace of Bucky’s suppressed humanity. As machinery outside the force-field grew more urgent and Ye Mo neared his limits, Bucky’s buried emotions responded more clearly.

• Ye Mo activated his incomplete Psi Link and sent a mental probe toward Bucky, using a memory of Bucky’s childhood as an anchor.
• Ye Mo sensed a trace of hesitation and grief behind Bucky’s mental defenses, then told Steve that Bucky was still alive inside.
• Ye Mo pushed through severe pain and system overload, repeatedly reminding Bucky that he was James Buchanan Barnes and that Steve had not given up on him.
• Steve asked whether Ye Mo could hold on, and Ye Mo continued reaching out despite the risk of memory loss or mental paralysis.
