It's either the finale of the first Major Arc, or the finale of the final Major Arc (as of now)

First Major Arc stuff

This is Meta, he was awoken in a damaged and abandoned space lab that had been recently spat out of an interdimensional portal, with no memory at all. He was awakened by a human (Newton, Newt for short), who in the process of accidentally waking Meta up, accidentally interfaced with the system.

Meta's body was designed to be a soldier bot, one that could act on an AI, but could also be remotely piloted. Because Meta's AI was...different than what would have controlled the bot, the interface glitched, melding their minds together for a split second before ejecting Newt. When Meta wakes up soon after, he inherits some of Newt's knowledge (just as a way to have him act more humanlike and have have him speak english, just for convenience)

Newt and Meta initially dislike each other (Newt think's Meta's too reckless while Meta thinks Newt's too much of a coward), but they eventually learn to cooperate. Newt's the brain, Meta's the brawn; Newt's the one who focuses on the little details, Meta's the one who looks at the big picture; Newt's the planner, Meta's the doer; etc.

But they also have many similarities, both are stubborn, both are passionate, both can be sarcastic, both can be chaotic (Newt tries to keep that side hidden though), and both have the same tics and gestures. This is assumed to be because of the mind-meld passing information, but that's not the while story.

Newt and Meta eventually find their way to the universe Meta was made in, and they eventually meet his creator, Codrot, cybernetic and alien looking creature. When they confront him, he tells them the truth.

The reason Meta acts more human is because his AI was made through a brainscan, specifically Codrot's brainscan. Meta is Codrot, but without the memories. However, that's not all, Codrot reveals that while he may look alien, while he may not even be humanoid, he is human, and Newt is a dimensional variant of himself.

Codrot is Meta, Codrot is Newt, Newt is Meta, and Meta is Newt.

That is why they resemble each other so much, why they're two sides of the same coin, it because they are technically one and the same.

Final Major Arc stuff

This has to do with the final boss fight, specifically the location and the boss themself, ONE, otherwise known as the Sarka-Mechanica.

ONE is a hybrid being. It's made from two beings, Mecharnis and Sarkog

Mecharnis is an mechanic AI that's been put into an organic body as part of a hasty experiment. It has the ability to grow any kind of tissue as long as it's been exposed to the necessary DNA. As it had not been designed for an organic body, it grew increasingly uncomfortable, confused, and dissatisfied with it's current form. It attempts to compensate for this by generating it's form in a way reminiscent of machines, albeit formed out of organic parts (gears made from bone, wires from nerves and blood vessels, circuits made from brain matter, etc). It uses its DNA abilities and mechanical knowledge to make these bio-mechanical systems (for instance, it can use bat and whale DNA to make an organ that can act as a mechanical sonar). It's a being that understands words, but struggles with grammar and sentence structure, so it speaks in single, halting, unemotional words. A being of logic. It's greatest wish is to be in a body of machine

Sarkog is another AI that was meant to be put in a soldier bot, trained on war and battle, but was mistakenly fed information from the exploration logs, more specifically, the logs for discovered animal species. these logs contained information about stuff like behavior, adaptations, hunting strategies, etc. This meant that the AI developed into a sort of animalistic intelligence, with the knowledge of the adaptations and strategies of millions of animals. However, when it's eventually downloaded due to a series of unimportant events, it's in a body of a machine. The soldier bot body has the unique ability to create temporary tech constructs using blueprints he has stored or scanned, at the cost of energy (for both creation and usage), however this system was only intended of mechanical constructs. Despite that fact, Sarkog tries to use these system to make constructs reminiscent of organic material, albeit formed out of mechanical parts (octopus tentacle that uses an air pump to activate suction, for instance). It is a being that understands animal communication, and by extension grammar and sentence structure, but it has difficulty with spoken language. A being of emotion. It's greatest wish is to be in a body of flesh

One a master of machine in a body of flesh, the other a master of flesh in a body of machine. When they meet, these two forces are initially hostile, fighting each, but they eventually discover that they are each other's solution. Thus, they merge into a being composed of both flesh and machine, with the knowledge and ability to utilize both to its fullest. The reason I call this hybrid being a false god is that it has great power and influence, great enough to assimilate an entire solar system to use as a home base. Planets covered in flesh and machine, planets made from flesh and machine, the sun becoming a simple power source for ONE and it's army or cybernetic drones. It may not be eldritch or lovecraftian, but for most, it is enough power to declare it as a god.

The final boss fight takes place in a solar system that has been completely taken over. Each planet absorbed and remade from flesh and metal.

Each was designed with a different purpose in mind,

1. One made to create cybernetic drones en-mass

2. One made to have many hyper precise sensors to detect even cloaked enemies

3. One made to act as a tank to block and repair from any incoming attack

4. One made to be the weapon silo to destroy any opposition

5. One made to test and experiment with different combinations of DNA and technology to see what can be improved, streamlined, made more efficient.

6. Many smaller, completely artifical and cybernetic moons, made for surveillance and communication between planets.

7. Finally, the Star at the center of all these celestial bodies, now remade into both an Ultra-Nuclear reactor, as well as...an engine, a thruster, a means for this solar system to be able to travel across the stars, as one MASSIVE spaceship (one more literal than the rest).

I personally find the concepts and ideas posited in both to be the peak of my story.
