Sometime prior to the | Sometime prior to the Second Collapse, Kirito and some of his family would meet with the criminal leadership of [[Forum:Castris's Criminal Empire|Castris's Criminal Empire]] in the hopes of bolstering their forces and acquiring new, illicit hardware. [[Forum:Castris|Castris]], with profits in mind, would instead declare neutrality on both sides. However, following the failed negotiations, the actions of defectors [[Forum:Tyranaks, the Overlord|Tyranaks]], [[Forum:Lilthis, the Daemon|Lilthis]] and [[Forum:Kamrak, the Titan|Kamrak]] would catch the attention of [[Forum:Tatsuyi Kirigaya|Tatsuyi Kirigaya]], the eldest son of Kazuto, who would contact them with the promise of power and individual sovereign over the criminal underground; the trio would accept this deal in a heartbeat. From the powers of the Fusion bestowed to them, the triune would help to pioneer the field of Fusion-wielding weaponry and tech, as well as fashion new tactics from the profane power such as the Marrow combat stimulant, Fusion Warping and particle manipulation. From their new powers and the backing of the Shadowkeepers, the criminal alliance known as the Shadow Collective was formed. | ||
Their first order of business was subverting the crippled [[Forum:The Seraphite Cartel|Seraphite Cartel]] into the Shadow Collective, where the trio executed the remaining leadership, [[Forum:Zevaksis|Zevaksis]] included. With the destruction of a long-hated Criminal franchise, many of the remnants would join the ranks of the Shadow Collective, the dens would be turned into firebases and forward-operating bases, and their Ethrite refining machinery would be repurposed by Kamrak to accelerate production of Marrow. Following this, Tyranaks would put his plan against his former crime syndicate into motion. With the help of his close friends and superior, he would conspire against Castris and her crime empire in an effort to rope them into the Shadowkeepers to weaken the enterprise, assassinate its leadership and claim it for himself. During this, he would begin assassinating some of the syndicate's associates to sever the ties between them and the Vanguard, including [[Hunter]] [[Forum:Ashe-5|Ashe-5]], her [[Ghost]], and other imperial emissaries. This would, as according to plan, catch the attention of both the Syndicate and spies from the last city. With the help of [[Forum:Kotrik, Bloodcrafter of Shadows|Kotrik]], they were able to kill Rudolph McAlister; however, syndicate investigators [[Forum:Solviks, the Gunslinger|Solviks]] and [[Forum:Myra Winters|Myra Winters]] narrowly escaped their would-be assassins. While the partners continued their search for answers, spymaster [[Forum:Robert E. O. Speedwagon|Robert E. O. Speedwagon]], assisted by his fellow partners [[Forum:Tattoo|Tattoo]] and [[Forum:Kempo Master|Kempo Master]], would conduct his own investigation, where he witnessed the murder of [[Forum:Cisco Ramon|Vibe]] and confronted his murderer, Tatsuyi, who would leave him paralyzed and rightfully angry at Vibe and Ashe's unjust fates, where he would finally swear vengeance against Castris and her empire, as according to plan. | Their first order of business was subverting the crippled [[Forum:The Seraphite Cartel|Seraphite Cartel]] into the Shadow Collective, where the trio executed the remaining leadership, [[Forum:Zevaksis|Zevaksis]] included.

However, Tyranaks would soon realize that Solviks and Myra survived the attempt on their lives. He would scramble as many of his assets to tie up any loose ends and prevent them from investigating the conspiracy any further. Meanwhile, he would dispatch his lieutenants, Kamrak and Lilthis, to hunt down and capture the Syndicate's arms dealer, [[Forum:Wren Kinsing|Wren Kinsing]], and his [[Ghost]]. During this, the Gunslinger and Guardian associate would eventually get some answers from one of the Shadow Collective's lackeys and would finally uncover Tyranaks's ploy from a bounty hunter indentured into the Shadow Collective's ranks. Before they could return to Castris with their newfound information, Speedwagon would recover his consciousness and would pick up on the investigation, where he would intercept a distress call from Wren himself. After saving the Syndicate's arms dealer from the disguised Shadow operatives, he would interrogate the [[Warlock]] before realizing the syndicate still maintained its neutralist agenda and the [[Abide the Return|sword]] used to murder Ashe was recently purchased off him. But before he could get more answers, the two would be ambushed by the Fusion-empowered lieutenants and would be swiftly overpowered, leading to Wren's kidnapping and Speedwagon's wounding, where he would first personally meet Tyranaks himself, who threatened his life if he kept searching this far down. After, once again recovering from his wounds and with the help of the syndicate's investigators, he would soon realize this was a conspiracy and would report his findings to the Vanguard while the duo prepared to warn Castris of the war to come. Now realizing his plan was falling apart at the seams, Tyranaks then desperately enacted a new plot to amplify the powers of Fusion within him. A plan that would eventually drive him to the verge of madness from fascination and a road that would lead him to his death. | However, Tyranaks would soon realize that Solviks and Myra survived the attempt on their lives.
