Forum:Second Collapse: Difference between revisions

On September 9th, 2014, the day the Traveler arrived on Mars, Kaguya and Hendrick, having found out about the Overtakers' neverending grudge against her team, set up their secret contingency plan and, with their remaining colleagues' help, put themselves and their daughter on their respective Fusion-enhanced cryogenic chambers so that they can wake up as [[Guardian]]s soon enough. Meanwhile, the rest of the members of Kaguya's team would go their separate ways to work on protecting the family from the Overtakers. For around 5 years, the members had managed to stave off the Overtakers' attempts on their lives, even going on to set up their own secret outposts, but unfortunately for them, that all changed when [[Forum:Professor Cornelius|Professor Cornelius]] stumbled across his wife, who had been infected by [[Forum:Vassago Casals|Vassago]]'s deadly hypnotic toxin. Expecting to try to save her, he would instead be cornered by [[Forum:The Man|The Man]], who explained that he knew who Cornelius was and what he had done by supporting Kaguya's works, claiming that the world didn't need people like her, but, rather, the Overtakers, along with many righteous and faithful people who devoted their lives to serving them and preparing the world for its 'prophesized' end. Furthermore, as The Man crippled Cornelius, he revealed that the end would come one day and that humanity must be ready to sacrifice itself for the good of the many, adding that Kaguya existed only to hinder the balance of history and that steps had been taken to ensure the subjugation of the entire universe to their will.

Within the terrains of Indonesia, a group of schemers, led by Malice, Insane Black★Rock Shooter, Tech E. Coyote, Takeru, Dio Brando, Anti-Monitor, and Nui Harime, sabotaged the Eyebird AB013Q plane, which was scheduled to arrive from Jakarta to Singapore, through security-threatening damage control sequences, which claimed the lives of 168 people, one of them being Erik Hidayat, who was preparing to do an exposé on the Overtakers. Around the shores of the Tri-State Area, a nefarious cult, led by Reverend Richard Wayne Gary Wayne and bionic duplicates of Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, Frank Underwood, Vandal Savage, Clifford DeVoe, Hunter Zolomon, and Edward Fyers, led a direct assassination attempt on Calista Ying, who had been trying to set up communication with a few loyal supporters who wanted to help avenge Yukito and Aoi's death, while Professor Hinkles, Agatha Trunchbull, Rallah, The Trickster, and Eto Yoshimura led a sadistic legion to launch a devastating attack on Lila Bray and Darius Watanabe, who were preparing to safeguard their greatest weapon against any Overtaker-affiliated suspect. Some time before the Auradonian War, an alliance between Laughing Coffin and Titan's Hand, led by Sugou Nobuyuki, Rosalia, Kuradeel, Gabriel Miller, Vassago Casals, the Shinkawa brothers, Raios Antinous, and Frencia Szeski assassinated Dr. Akihiko Kayaba and hired one of their followers to impersonate him and build a "Death Game" virus that they would upload into Sword Art Online 4 years later.
