Stitchpunk Talisman

The mysterious Talisman is a metallic object with three strange symbols etched on its surface, and plays a key role in the 9 universe. It is created by the Scientist, it requires an owner and a combination to activate it but if inserted into a socket of a Machine, then the Machine can use the talisman on its own will to kill anyone without doing a combination. The only true owner of the Talisman known so far is 9, since the Talisman was meant to be a gift to him from the Scientist to preserve life and human culture.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, it would be happened in during World War III that it can make the Earth being upgraded when 9 reunites with the other stitchpunks and decides to sacrifice himself so the others can retrieve the talisman. Having had a change of heart, 1 redeems himself by saving 9, pushing him out of the way and allowing himself to be absorbed while 9 removes the talisman. 9 activates the talisman and uses it to reabsorb the souls taken by the Machine, resulting in its final destruction. Afterwards, 9, 7, 3, and 4 release the souls of 5, 1, 6, 2, and 8 from inside the talisman. Bidding farewell to their friends, they fly up into the sky. Rain then falls from the sky, the raindrops containing small flecks of glowing bacteria, bringing life back into the world.
