It then scrolls through a series of pixel-art monkey characters in various states—including a crowned monkey with a sword, a glowing golden "apotheosis" monkey with a halo, and a stone gorilla head—before cycling back to repeat the initial BAYC, MAYC, and alien astronaut portraits.

Across the frames, the mage gradually raises his staff toward the lighthouse, which then ignites with a bright vertical beam of light, signaling a call to arms. He then turns away as a green spectral creature perches on his shoulder, with the scene concluding in dramatic, darkened tones as the storm continues to brew.
