The Attack on New York City, was an attack on New York City ordered by the rehabilitated Asolas Danatheon on 11 July, 2027 during the Return of the Empire. The attack was between a squadron of the Ghost Empire against five members of the Lux Republic and the New York City Police Department.
== Prelude ==
Main article: Rehabilitation of AsolasAfter the Great Battle of Hidra, Asolas Danatheon was left critically injured in a huge explosion. He was even thought dead by the Lux Republic and the Ghost Empire. After the explosion, Q'lia could sense Asolas' presence in the ruins so she went searching for him. She finally found him under a huge pile of ruins and brought him back to Eznius. Asolas was in a deadly coma and the Suezian doctors and scientists put him in a rehabilitation chamber in hopes that he would survive.
In 2024, almost five years later, he finally awoke from his coma. However, he seemed to have severe amnesia and could not conduct any physical activity. At the end of 2026, he finally was able to stand up and walk around. At the start of 2027, he accidentally killed a Ghost trooper using a Shadow Cosmius power. This kill brought back all of his memories that were lost due to the amnesia. He then campaigned to attack Earth.
== The attack ==
On 10 July, 2027, Asolas Danatheon secretly planned to attack Earth in order to bring Tom Thompson and the rest of Alpha VI out of hiding. He then got his Suezian scientists to track a vulnerable Lux Republic member on Earth in which he found an officer named Arnold Carmichael whom was living in Manhattan in New York City at the time.
On 11 July, 2027, the Shadow King ordered a squadron of the Suezian Army to attack New York City and assassinate Officer Arnold Carmichael. The squadron included the Ghost Admiral Skorpiuz, the No'med Apex Brotherhood member Q'lia, and up to 18 Ghost troopers. They travelled to New York City via a Ghost Stealth ship and searched for the officer. They found the officer locked up in a hotel in Manhattan along with 4 agents. The squadron violently broke into the hotel and murdered the officer which attracted a lot of public attention. The NYPD were called and turned up to the scene to deal with the Ghost squadron which resulted in the deaths of up to 25 Police officers along with the Police Commissioner. After, the squadron went on a civilian killing spree before successfully leaving back to Suezeus.
== Aftermath ==
The Ghost squadron caused a lot of constructional damage along with the killings of up to 50 people. It shocked many American citizens and angered the Lux Republic. The Ghost Empire and the Lux Republic previously signed a peace treaty in which the Ghost Empire seemed to have completely broken on the day of the attack, which was the second time that the Empire had broken a treaty. The Lux Republic then remorselessly campaigned to completely destroy the Ghost Empire for good.
Tom Thompson along with his friends were notified of the attack but refused to become a part of the conflict. Jaylen Reed even told Alpha VI that the Republic had it all under control and there was no need for any help. Everyone apart from the Ghost Empire thought that Asolas was dead so they did not worry. Later on, Tom Thompson started getting some mental disturbances due to the Cosmius and Asolas being alive. Tom then started seeing and hearing Asolas in his dreams, and soon thought that he was indeed alive.
Tom then rejoined the Lux Republic because he thought Asolas was alive, he was called crazy by everyone but still joined the campaign to defeat the Ghost Empire for good. The rest of Alpha VI also rejoined because they did not want to leave Tom alone.Category:Battles
