It didn't take long for the first big reveal of the "secretive war", as the forums are calling it, to come out. The video recorded on the outskirts of Dome City showcasing catastrophic displays of power was released, and all major entities denied having anything to do with it....thus, the final conclusion was made.
...(That night on the newly famous Multiversal News Station)...
"Hello, dear fans of the show. We here at MNS welcome you back this evening for yet another recap on what's going down in Raven Oscar's Multiverse..."
"Firstly, the Queen Seraph's spokesperson recently gave a press conference condemning those of the underground revolutionary group based out of Altissia. Here is the clip...."
[Clip Quote]
"...let it be known, the Queen and by proxy, the Serephian Governmental Body that oversees the Origin City of Altissia does not sanction any revolutionary or anti-establishment group that seeks to remove our race from power. We will continue to provide updates as we work to remove these parasites from our good city..."
[End Quote]
"In other news, the famed Stan Hope recently disappeared from the most popular venue in Altissia, The Eolian. Many speculated that he took a vacation, but that theory was squashed since the establishment is currently being handled by his loving Serephian Wife. She refused to comment, so we here at the station are unsure of what to think.....we can only hope that nothing has happened to the man and that he will return soon. If the worse has occurred, he should at least be back after a year...."
"Finally, there is breaking news coming to us from our sources in Dome City. Earlier today, around midday, a large conflict broke out between two unknown entities. All major guilds and high-level combatants are refusing to take responsibility or comment. This scenario has given much support to the recently released theory that a covert war is going on in the shadows of our great cities....although we here at MNS will not speak definitively on the matter, we would recommend that you ensure proper safety in these unsure times....here is a clip of what transpired."
...
"Wh@t the f\/ck is Oscars doing!?..." an irate Timothy Lee yelled as he flung everything on the nearby table off its surface. His guild underlings nearby simply let him go, such outbursts have become commonplace since he returned from his recent conflict.
After regaining his senses once again, Timothy began to scheme a way out of this...' Raven Oscars clearly gave someone THE f\/cking Avatar.....with that video and the context of The Holy Grail War, it's pretty easy to decern that much.....but which class is it? I had The Caster...the dumb plant.'
After a good hour of planning and plotting, Timothy could only sigh and activate his communication device, he needed to contact his enemy for help....' the enemy of my enemy is my friend indeed....'
*blrr* *blrr*
*crk*
"Its you isn't it Rook?..... Even an idiot would know who this blocked number would be after the news came out...." Ban Renald quipped playfully at Timothy, whose face reddened with anger.
"Look you insufferable fool, both of our summons are dead thanks to you....like it or not, neither of us is a match for whatever is in Dome City alone, especially if we are fighting each other as well...."
....
Deep into Altissia, in the secret underground base of the Revolutionary Army, we find the destroyed and on fire headquarters of the recently formed institution dedicated to removing the Serephian government from power and Raven's hold as well.....they believe that Raven gave up control to the AI, so this place they call home shouldn't be under the thumb of an overlord, even though he created the universe.
Sadly though, what once stood as the hope of liberation is now filled with corpses of those 'loyal' to the cause...the only one alive was currently kneeling on the ground, experiencing the Tsuknomi released by the nearby Raven who was handling this little....' problem' before the government could get a good hold.
