Anti-Corporations

Anti-Corporations was the event that saw two corporations face backlash as a result of Fiona Vance, resulting in one of them being ransacked after being exposed for malicious activities, and S.O.L.A.C.E. becoming the number one public enemy.
==History==
The conglomerate Archibald Robotics was quickly exposed by Fiona Vance after revealing that they have been supplying and smuggling their own designs to S.O.L.A.C.E, effectively allowing the latter to build its own cybernetic and robotic army to ensure the domination against the NEW/G. This caused a public uproar, as if its Globebook, and caused massive attention from endless number of governments.
===Rise of the Reaper===
ADLEHR has risen. He has unleashed the souls of the damned as he straight up tears through the cities of Heliga. Beginning from Rasuk, Tiamat, Nickoti, Vuramasi and Lachmann, forcing the NEW/G to absorb their Intelligence Division's intel regarding the reaper. While most of the heroes have deployed, Night Breeze have chosen to stay in the base and subsequently go AWOL, likely to pursue her agenda of forcing Madeleine to reveal her true heritage, since she hasn't told her for months.
The NEW/G now confronts ADLEHR, and they all subsequently attack him. However, the reaper unleashes a SOUL PASSAGE, which hundreds of thousands of souls interact and launch themselves in front of them, forcing the heroes to group up and be on the defensive, while the Reaper himself laughs in sheer malevolence, proclaiming that the souls represent the renegades that they have killed due to their feats of heroism. Eion Brightblast taunts him for relying on his endless horde of souls to kill them, which the latter replies:
"You all shall spend the eternity, together, through.... the VOID!"
Meanwhile, Spartacus Brightspear has enough of the souls, using his starfall to obliterate hordes of them, while Gwyneth Forgesteel efficiently takes them one by one, whilst Fiona Vance manhandles the rest of them. Due to that, the reaper throws an ETERNITY PRISON, preventing them from reaching him quickly for a killing blow, which forced NEXTECH Man to fight him one-on-one, starting by a HAMMER DOWN! He relentlessly smashed the reaper with his hammer, until the latter uses his powers to become intangible and slows him down with a FLAY DESECRATION.
The bright hero was saved by Spartacus Brightspear after he starfalled right on top of him, forcing him to disperse. However, it is clear that he won the fight through knocking out all of them, and the newer generation of heroes have suffered their first defeat. Lunar Frost complains by stating that not all of them are together on vanquishing the soul taker. This also gave way for her to pursue Night Breeze.
Eion Brightblast was disappointed and had a deal with him: To fight ADLEHR one-on-one, leaving the others safe from his grasp.
===Renegade Firepower===
The Corporate Renegades have started a crazy massacre when they unleashed their army, starting by killing dozens of Aryan citizens and causing a fight with the Aryan Armed Forces. They brought more than enough firepower to deal with their military, forcing the legion of heroes to launch again. NEXTECH Man takes the lead on destroying the vehicles, whilst Fiona Vance ensures to minimise the collateral damage throughout the battle. However, the Renegades have brought another of those Aether beasts, which managed to counter their Nextech, forcing them to rely on conventional methods, using dropped weapons from the Aryan soldiers to kill the beasts. Still, they lost. 
Afterwards, one question springs to mind: Where is Lunar Frost? 
Gwyneth Forgesteel was clearly unhappy with Fiona for not checking on Madeleine, but the latter informed her calmly that she went somewhere to find Night Breeze. The Nordic warrior shrugs, knowing Alissandre must've turned on them, which enraged Fiona, who concluded that Forge must've been aware of the hacking expert's heinous past, despite her good nature and being the best friend of the prodigy.
Unbeknownst to them, S.O.L.A.C.E's intervention made things worse. As it goes out of control, the Iron Man has launched into the city and singlehandedly manhandled the enemy. Archibald Robotics later sent a cybernetic army of warriors to deal with him, but they are plainly outmatched with ease as he simply tears them apart, shrugging the fact that they have been used a lab rats to become cyborg henchmen that will assist both S.O.L.A.C.E and the Corporate Renegades.
===Boots on the Ground===
The Trinity later decides to conduct some unsanctioned black ops missions, knowing that the NEW/G has lost momentum as a result of their loss in Heliga to ADLEHR's wrath, which killed thousands of people, so they went to the Aryaine Kingdom, equipped in personalised gear with rifles, allowing their superiors to take the rest, as they take the lead on fighting Corporate Renegades through the smart way, not the stronger way. They were, however, hunted by their elite operatives, including Dark Python, Sinister Teeth, and Nightfall. The Trinity had the tactical advantage, as planned, but the introduction of the Reaper compelled them to retreat, wounding Amanda in the process, and their mission of infiltrating a concealed Renegade base in the country failed. Sending them back into hiding.
The Reaper loudly claims that they should check their ranks. This means, Night Breeze must've gone rogue. Fiona contacts Lunar Frost regarding her quest on finding her, which she replies with some regret on her voice:
"If I find her siding with the renegades, I'll have to kill her. Not to mention, I already knew that she was the daughter of that fearsome elite, Vanguard. If I can't, send her to a prison. Please."
All Fiona can do is to accept her request. She also noticed that Madeleine does not seem to hesitate to fight any opponent standing in her way, regardless if it is an ally, or an enemy. Gwyneth Forgesteel seems to shrug, knowing that Night Breeze seems very suspicious the day after she got wounded from their previous operation in Brightblasting Adventure.
===Familial Confessions===
Madeleine now finds her best friend in Ruj. She is taken aback by her new appearance, but she admits that it suits her. Alissandre shrugs, aware that her prior appearance was "meek." The Night Hacker then gets right to the point, inquiring about her best friend's true background. Madeleine soon demands an explanation for her questions, which Alissandre merely implies she kept it hidden all along, to her best friend. She now realises that her best friend is partially correct, owing to her refusal to divulge more of her genuine family, which enraged the latter. 
Unexpected for lifelong friends, they both got into a verbal argument, and the latter has expressed her resentment towards her heritage, realising that Madeleine's mother is a hero, while her father is a menacing killer. To make it even worse, she announced her new codename - Bloodlust. She took off her armour and tried to be civil, not wanting a fight.
This shift did not even surprise Lunar Frost. She was aware that her best friend might turn against her at some point. Bloodlust then orders her to leave, threatening to harm her best friend if she tells the NEW/G about her origins, especially the "sassy strict-ass" leader, Fiona. This was the day Madeleine was compelled to confront her lifelong best friend, Alissandre. She refused to leave, asking her to accompany her gently in order to repair their friendship. Bloodlust, on the other hand, is unfazed and dares her to a fight. At first, Lunar Frost is apprehensive, but she agrees to settle it through hand-to-hand combat. Due to her bigger size, Lunar Frost is tougher and stronger than her best friend, Bloodlust is distressed upon realising that the prodigy is holding back her skills, and on the defensive. As a result, she uses her smaller size to evade her attacks and overwhelm her with speed, which barely worked as she is effectively outmatched.
Alissandre pulls out a knife, enraged by her Iceborn friend's superior skills, incredible strength, toughness, and similar speed. After a succession of knees and fists to the face, she makes Madeleine spit out blood. She lashes out at her best friend with the knife, insisting that it should not end this way. Madeleine stands up after checking her blood, and Alissandre explains that she felt useless when the prodigy completed her first mission without her assistance. Madeleine is taken aback by her statements, allowing Alissandre to push her against the wall after leg-sweeping her. Madeleine, distressed, snaps again. 
Though Alissandre was upset with Madeleine for keeping the truth about her family from her, Madeleine furiously acknowledges that it was her mother's wishes that later made her the hero that she is now. Ally, on the other hand, professes to loving her father despite his true colours, which allows the prodigy to restrain her, but Alissandre has had enough and aims her dagger at her throat, threatening to silence her permanently if she tells the legion. The latter becomes upset, but swiftly disarms her and kicks her in the stomach, forcing her to spit out lots of blood, crawl along the floor in agony and beg mercy. Lunar Frost ends her argument with Bloodlust, stating that it should never happen again, and finally ends their quarrel by confirming that one aspect separates her from Ashe: Her lack of mercy towards any foe that stands in her way.  
Knowing that she is partially responsible for the NEW/G's recent defeats against the Corporate Renegades; Madeleine refuses to forgive Alissandre, and Fiona Vance later finds her, along with most of her comrades. Fiona takes a Alissandre's injured condition, she realises she met Templar Vanguard and was subsequently found by Madeleine, which Alissandre blamed her injuries on their recent fight. Madeleine is undeterred in her fulmination and gladly requests that Gwyneth Forgesteel lock her up in their base, but since Alissandre has showed some signs of atonement, she requests that they treat her fairly.
=== Archibald Robotics, No More! ===
After realising that they are responsible for supplying S.O.L.A.C.E with their robots, local authorities and Aryan Armed Forces invade Archibald Robotics. They deployed drone units and robotic warriors to deal with them, as expected, until Gwyneth Forgesteel came to their aid and shattered their forces. Not long after, the corporation is destroyed, allowing the NEW/G to redeem themselves by her deeds, and the executives are later captured. This meant the end of the terrible conglomerate. As a result, the Renegades are enraged by the news and have resolved to restore their reputation as well, adding to their own objectives.
However, they launched a killer robot, forcing the Warriors to redeem themselves by fighting it. A DRC-09 Cyclops! Spartacus Brightspear takes the lead, since Fiona Vance had decided to take public matters, and solve it in her own hands, wanting to boost the morale and trust of the public.
==Cast==
 featured a large ensemble of the characters, that caused the war to go out of control due to Fiona's efforts on ransacking corporations due to her campaign. As a result, the Legion suffered two consecutive losses after the renegades got the upper hand.
The worst aspect that Madeleine experienced however, is that betrayal never comes in the enemy, but in the form of friends.
