How I Would Plan Out The Minion War On Rifts Earth
Posted: Sat Sep 17, 2022 9:47 am
As a follow up to my mini-fiction "The Press Conference" ... This is very roughly how I would plan out the ongoing and eventual end to the minion war. It would be an in-world decade long series of events.
----
110PA - Present day. Coalition Heroes of Humanity (Arsenal and Disavowed if we ever get them). Megaverse In Flames. Atlantis is opting to significantly and indirectly aid all opponents of the Demons and Dyvals. They also intervene directly where necessary. Lemuria and the NGR make a formal alliance with one another and go on the offensive as best they can to help the worlds nations.
111PA - Demons and Dyval's are consolidating their forces while trying to expand their influence and domain all over the world. Clashes with the CS, Free Quebec, Lazlo, Federation of Magic, Merc companies, the Tundra Rangers, NGR, Gargoyle Empire, Brodkill Empire, Yama Kings, Sovietskii, Russian Warlords and others are commonplace as the weeks and months go by.
112 PA - In North America CS and magic nations are fighting side by side more and more rather than against each other to fend off their common enemy. Similar things are happening elsewhere; the NGR are being aided and are indirectly aiding their once sworn enemies of the Gargoyles and Brodkil. Neither beast empire wants to be brought under heel by the demons or Dyvals. Warlords have a cease fire among themselves as well as with the Sovietskii. Various nations in South America are also putting their differences aside.
Fall 112PA - Tragedy. Karl Prosek is assassinated along with a number of his closest and oldest confidantes and consultants. The CS is mourning as Joseph Prosek the Second takes the reigns and throne as Emperor. Rumours abound as to how this could happen.

114PA - A Hell Pit is destroyed in Magic Zone. Joseph Prosek declares a formal cease fire with all Magic Nations citing the Demon and Dyval hordes are greater threat to us all. Lazlo reciprocates this formal declaration as do other a number of smaller independent kingdoms while no word is heard from the Federation, though hostilities all but cease in that area of North America towards CS forces.
115PA - A Hell Pit destroyed in New Mexico. The CS along with their informal allies from Lazlo as well as with other independent kingdoms are finally driving back the Demons and Dyvals respectively.
116PA - A Hell Pit destroyed in France. The NGR along with the Russian Warlords, Sovietskii, Gargoyles and Brodkil are pushing back the Demons and Dyval in Europe.
117PA - Hell Pits are destroyed in Dinosaur Swamp and Cuba. The Yama Kings are successful in eliminating any localized Demon or Dyval threats in China.
118PA - A Hell pit is destroyed in the Canadian Tundra. South American nations are finally driving back Demon and Dyval forces across the continent.
119PA - Multiple Hell Pits are destroyed in Calgary.
120PA - Victory is effectively declared in most areas of the world having rid many places of the Demon and Dyval threats. Only a couple Hell Pits have survived in any capacity though greatly diminished. Emperor Joseph Prosek declares the cease fire with Lazlo and other magic kingdoms will remain in place indefinitely as they have demonstrated to be heroes of Earth. He pledges they will be left to their own devices as long as they do not interfere with CS activities. An uneasy cease fire remains between the various kingdoms and nations in Europe but all is well for now. South America is in a state of calm for the time being as well. All nations are in a state of recovery with so many lives and resources lost to combat with the Demon and Dyval hordes. For the first time in decades the Earth is at relative peace...even if it is only to be short lived as everyone rebuilds their nations and lives.
Twist (I am sure most if not all who read my mini fiction linked above understood this to be the case) - by manipulating the Vanguard to his own purposes, as well as those loyal to the Demon or Dyval hordes, Joseph is the actual mastermind behind Karl's assassination. To him, his father had lost the way and had missed an excellent opportunity to turn the enemy to his favour. Remembering the stories his mother had told him about her rescue from the Federation as well as seeing for himself the sacrifices so many from the magic communities were making to protect not just CS citizens and soldiers but all innocent peoples, he had an epiphany. He decided it was time this regime had to end with a newer more open minded one replacing it. Using the Vanguard and sacrificing several of their number in the process to make this happen, Joseph spun into a two pronged PR campaign that only one as devious as he was could be capable of. In the end the CS mourned for their fallen Emperor, they screamed for Demon/Dyval blood and they tempered their hatred for magic users seeing with their own eyes the magic users who freely and unselfishly sacrificed their lives in trying to protect their beloved Emperor, Karl Prosek.
