The '''Second Collapse''' (also known as the '''Shadowkeeper's Apocalypse''') was a massively cataclysmic system-wide conflict fought between the unified forces of the [[Solar System]] and [[Forum:The Black Fleet|The Black Fleet]]. The conflict began after Pyramidic fleet-elements started arriving ''en mass'' into the system. After the Outer System was taken without any meaningful resistance, the Fleet moved into the Inner System, shrouding world after world until only Earth and its Moon remained. | |||

There, in orbit around the dyad worlds, the Fleet deployed the [[Forum:Shadowkeeper|Shadowkeepers]] and its commanders, the [[Forum:The Black Swordsman|Black Swordsman]] and its [[Forum:The White Angel|Angel]]. Most of Earth's landmass was quickly claimed by the Shadowkeeper armies except for the entirety of the southern American continent, where the Last City has grown into a megapolis of unimaginable proportions. Here the enemy forces were stalemated until [[Forum:The Guardian (Nightmare)|The Guardian]] was lured away to the EDZ and subsequently corrupted. The Black Fleet claimed victory, broke the Traveler, and slew most of the Solar System combatants, with few survivors fleeing into new worlds. The enshroudment of Sol complete, the Black Fleet withdrew its forces into [[Forum:Aincrad|its home dimension]], where secretly a [[Forum:Realms of Glass|hidden fortress]] had been constructed. | There, in orbit around the dyad worlds, the Fleet deployed the [[Forum:Shadowkeeper|Shadowkeepers]] and its commanders, the [[Forum:The Black Swordsman|Black Swordsman]] and its [[Forum:The White Angel|Angel]].

For around five 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 Johnny Black'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. | For around five 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 Johnny Black's deadly hypnotic toxin.

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 Woodsie Trickster, Richard Roman, and Eto Yoshimura led a sadistic legion into Antarctica to launch a devastating surprise attack on Lila Bray and her supporters, 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 recruited one of their fellow sympathizers to impersonate him and build a "Death Game" virus that they would upload into Sword Art Online | 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 recruited one of their fellow sympathizers to impersonate him and build a "Death Game" virus that they would upload into Sword Art Online 2 years later. | ||

Some time after freeing Audrey from the dark curse, [[Forum:Mal|Mal]] and her lover [[Forum:Benjamin Florian|Ben]] were preparing for a big marriage to truly unite the people of both Auradon and the Isle of the Lost, but their marriage was interrupted by her mother's remaining followers, led by a renegade rival who sought to overthrow both her and Ben and continue what Maleficent started in taking over Auradon; luckily for them, her friends rushed to the rescue and distracted the rival long enough for Mal to overwhelm him and detain him. Unfortunately, while Mal and her friends were successful in stopping him, he had one last trick up his sleeves; with the last of his dying breath, he placed a malicious virus into her brain so that one day, she would turn against her friends and fall along with them. | |||
A few days later, Maleficent would shapeshift back into her lizard form and enact a gruesome plan to turn all of Auradon against Mal. During the course of this preparation, she would whisper cryptic lies to Ben and Evie about Mal through their respective minds, telling them that Mal was never really their friend and that she was only using them to get what she wants, each time being duped by them, saying that they do not believe her lies. However, having anticipated that, she would activate the virus within her daughter's brain, making her assassinate Ben's parents without hesitation, guilt, or regret. With that fulfilled, she would call upon her soldiers to hunt down anyone trying to find out that she had infected her own daughter. | A few days later, Maleficent would shapeshift back into her lizard form and enact a gruesome plan to turn all of Auradon against Mal.

Shocked by news about Carlos's death, Mal would take matters into her own hands, enlisting the help of her father Hades and her friends Jay, Uma, Dizzy, Harry Hook, Gil, and Celia Facilier to try to stop Maleficent from crippling Auradon. Meeting up with Darius Watanabe, she would hear about the fact that Ben and Evie had become the first ones to turn against Mal and were now planning to establish Maleficent's reign, which can be stopped by activating the dormant powers of the Ember. However, their meeting was interrupted by The Man and his forces, who immediately crippled Darius and stripped him of his Light, killing him instantly. Upon realizing that The Man had come to destroy the Ember, Hades immediately gave his life to help Mal protect it from The Man and escape with her friends back to Auradon. | Shocked by news about Carlos's death, Mal would take matters into her own hands, enlisting the help of her father Hades and her friends Jay, Uma, Dizzy, Harry Hook, Gil, and Celia Facilier to try to stop Maleficent from crippling Auradon.

However, by the time they reached the gates, Mal's friends were brutally gunned down, leaving her defenseless as Ben's soldiers dragged her down to the hanging chamber. As they tied her down, she watched helplessly as they smashed the Ember into pieces and tried to wrestle free, but then Ben and Evie appeared, preparing to restore Maleficent to her full form and inflict judgment upon Mal. As Maleficent's champions prepared for her daughter's death, The Man told Mal that what had happened to her was part of a prophecy, claiming that she needed to die so that Maleficent and her forces can subjugate the entire world to their will and save all of humanity from themselves. Now broken and stripped of her powers, Mal could do nothing but watch helplessly as her own mother executed her.

With Mal dead, the Overtakers would succeed in bringing forth the corruption of Auradon; however, before she died, she used the last of her breath to unleash an ancient demon known as [[Forum:Ravana, the Worldeater|Ravana]] in the hopes of exacting her revenge against those she once called her friends. | ||

After the Sanctuary dwellers forged an alliance with the inhabitants, they decisively repelled an exploratory arm of the Black Fleet, reacting to a reinvigorated Traveler which had forsaken its spherical body for that of a [[Forum:Mallory Bertha|human]], and the entrapped inhabitants of Aincrad. Together, with Sanctuary and their allies launching a physical assault on the Solar System and Mallory infiltrating Aincrad to unmake the Black Fleet's interference, the system was freed and Aincrad locked away. [[Forum:Fusion|Fusion]] was liberated from Aincrad. | |||
