'''The Betrayed''' is one of the five endings in ''[[Fleeing the Complex]].''

After being captured by [[Dmitri Johannes Petrov]] in [[The Wall]], [[Henry Stickmin]] intends to escape the Complex. After transferring to his cell and escaping from it, Henry [[Phone a Friend|calls]] the [[Toppat Clan]] and asks [[Reginald Copperbottom]] for help in escaping The Wall with his Airship. However, once Henry reaches the Airship, Reginald reveals his true agenda to confront Henry and take back his position as leader of the Toppat Clan, betraying Henry and dropping him into the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaufort_Sea Beaufort Sea]. 

This ending follows on from "[[Rapidly Promoted Executive]]", in which Henry is the leader of the [[Toppat Clan]]. 

==Plot==
Henry decides to '''[[Wait for Transfer]]'''. [[Ellie Rose]] is first removed from the holding cell, before Henry is pushed into his own cell. In the cell, Henry begins to plot his escape. 
*'''[X] [[Teleporter]]''' - Using the device, Henry transports himself out of the cell, but onto a moon somewhere. There, he witnesses some [[List of minor characters#Protoss Zealots|Protoss Zealots]] attempt to wage battle with a [[List of minor characters#Protoss Colossus|Colossus]], but they are killed in one fell swoop. A player, Bassen, tells the other team to leave. (''Message: gg no re'')
*'''[X] [[Sonic Pulse]]''' - The device goes off and emits a extremely high-frequency noise, which blows Henry's head out. (''Message: That hurt my ears! >:C '')
*'''[X] [[Fake Illness]]''' - Henry begins to cough, in an attempt to get himself into the medical ward. [[Grigori Olyat|Grigori]] tranquilizes Henry and instead has him transferred to a quarantine cell, where Henry encounters [[Ray Rudolpho]] and a myriad of other inmates with strange illnesses. Realizing his mistake, Henry pounds on the door of the cell. (''Message: What, you don't like your new friends?'')
*'''[X] [[Cookie]]''' - Henry consumes the cookie, which causes his body to enlarge. (''Message: How curious.'')
*'''[[Laser Plane]]''' - A drone cuts into the floor around Henry, causing it to fall and crush a [[List of minor characters#Blue-shoed Wall employee|Wall staff member]] below.

The crushed guard has a phone, and Henry uses it to [[Phone a Friend]] for help. From here, the game branches off into two different endings.<ref>In the remastered version, the endings achieved in ''[[Infiltrating the Airship]]'' determine whom Henry can call.</ref>

*'''[[Government (option)|Government]]''' - ''See "[[International Rescue Operative]]"''.<ref>To unlock this option in the remastered version, get the [[Government Supported Private Investigator]] or [[Relentless Bounty Hunter]] ending.</ref>
*'''[[Toppat Clan (option)|Toppat Clan]]''' - Henry contacts [[Reginald Copperbottom]], who happens to be in the [[Toppat Airship|Airship]] and agrees to pick up Henry.<ref>To unlock this option in the remastered version, get the [[Rapidly Promoted Executive]] ending.</ref>

It takes Reginald one hour to reach [[The Wall]] (two hours in the legacy version). Once he arrives, Henry walks out the room and stumbles into the cafeteria.<ref>[[Gary Mann]] can be found in this scene; part of the "Rise 'n Shine" achievement.</ref> Redirecting the [[Toppat Airship|Airship]] to Henry's position, Reginald is able to locate Henry inside, and asks him how to proceed with the rescue mission.
*'''[X] [[Undercover Agent]]''' - [[Wallace Pemberton]], a Toppat who has been undercover at the Wall, is contacted to help Henry. He promptly reveals himself to the Toppat Leader, but this draws the other Wall members' attention. (''Message: He spent three years undercover... What a waste.'')
*'''[X] [[Neurotoxin]]''' - The airship launches a grenade into the cafeteria, which spews out neurotoxin gas. It fills the entire room, causing Henry and the Wall staff to turn into zombies. (''Message: Oh, did they forget to hand out your gas mask beforehand?'')
*'''[[Drill Pod]]''' - The transport unit is launched from the Airship into the cafeteria, with [[Wilhelm Krieghaus]], [[Sureshot Sherman]] and [[Ahnoldt Schwarz]] on board.

Sherman and Wilhelm wage battle with the Wall staff, while Ahnoldt provides Henry with a selection of objects to help him reach the Airship.  
*'''[X] [[Slingshot]]''' - Henry uses the primitive device to launch himself to the Airship; He, however, slams into the ship's hull. (''Message: This seems like a good place to keep a medal. Click <u>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ HERE]</u> for a medal.'')<ref>Clicking on "HERE" in this fail message leads to a series of small windows for the "Easy Achievement" achievement.</ref>
*'''[X] [[Magnet]]''' - Henry whips out a magnet in an attempt to use magnetic attraction in order to reach the Airship - however, the magnet ends up dragging the entire aircraft into the wall of the complex. (''Message: Well you see, because of entropy the... uh... Alright I can't BS my way through this one.'')
*'''[[Sick Ride]]''' - Using his trusty [[Henry's scooter|scooter]], Henry launches himself from the cafeteria to the Airship.

The scooter comes up short, forcing Henry to disembark. Reginald is there to greet Henry, catching him before he falls - however, Reginald does not pull Henry up and reveals his true agenda, revealing that he had the Airship set course for The Wall to confront Henry and take back his position as leader of the Toppat Clan. He tells Henry that he just wanted to look him in the eyes as he took it all back. Reginald then lets go of Henry, causing him to fall off the Airship to his death in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaufort_Sea Beaufort Sea] far below.

== Aftermath== 
*'''Rescued by Toppat Clan''' - The [[Toppat Clan|Toppats]] are shown to have only been a few hours away from [[The Wall]] when they launched a rescue operation to bust out Henry.
*'''Betrayed by Toppat Leader''' - [[Reginald Copperbottom]] uses the mission to purposely kill Henry and reclaim his position as the Toppat Leader.

The Betrayed can only be combined with [[Rapidly Promoted Executive]] to get [[Revenged]].

'''<u>Starcraft 2</u>'''

When Henry uses the [[Teleporter]], he finds himself on a planet full of Protoss Zealots, which are all killed by a Protoss Colossus.

'''<u>Combat Wars</u>'''

The [[Sonic Pulse]] is from this game.

'''<u>Alice in Wonderland</u>'''

The [[Cookie]] is labeled "Eat Me", and when Henry does, he grows, similar to what Alice does.

'''<u>Angry Birds</u>'''

The [[Slingshot]] looks like and works similarly to the slingshot from this game.

<u>'''Stealing the Diamond'''</u>

The [[Henry Stickmin's scooter|Scooter]] from [[Stealing the Diamond]] returns in the [[Sick Ride]] option.
== Trivia== 
* This is the only ending in the game where it doesn't say "Thanks for Playing" at the end of the credits in the legacy edition, which is fitting considering the sad note the path is left off on.
*This is the ending that has the least number of possible combinations in ''[[Completing the Mission]]''. It can only be combined with "[[Rapidly Promoted Executive]]" in order to create "[[Revenged]]."
* The Betrayed, [[Toppat Civil Warfare]], and [[The Story Begins]] are considerably the only [[Ending Types|bad endings]] in the series.
* When [[Fleeing the Complex]] was softly thought to be the final game of the [[Henry Stickmin series]], if anyone kept asking, [[PuffballsUnited]] would say "Henry is dead and I cannot make more games.", meaning The Betrayed was once thought to be the canon ending.
** This would have also implied that [[Rapidly Promoted Executive]] was the canon ending of [[Infiltrating the Airship]].
** However, in CtM, Henry dies in the ending [[Revenged]] which branches from this ending
* Reginald's betrayal is ironic in that Henry trusted him just like Galeforce trusted Henry.

== Continuity ==
The Betrayed follows right after [[Rapidly Promoted Executive]], where Henry took control of the Toppat Clan by force when [[Reginald Copperbottom]] surrendered the Airship in exchange for not handing him in to the Government. Unhappy with Henry usurping his position, his retribution would lead to Henry striking back in [[Revenged]].

In [[Completing the Mission]], Reginald Copperbottom references his own betrayal occasionally in other routes. In [[Toppat King]]'s [[Abandoned Tank]] option, he mentions it directly, but pulls Henry up, having recognized Henry's devotion to the Toppat Clan. Meanwhile, in [[Toppat Civil Warfare]], he and the rest of the clan turn against Henry when [[Ellie Rose]] reveals his treachery.
