== Summary (Spoiler alert!) ==
=== Part One ===
This part takes place just after Talin's first nukes hit Italy.
* Rennes is the second nation hit with Talin's nukes.
* Rennes and Italy, both overrun with nukes, lose the strength to advance, and eventually collapse.
* Talin's puppet states, thinking that Talin is distracted, seek the chance to revolt.
* Talin allows its puppet states to become independent, but in return, launches mass nuclear attacks on its enemies.
* The war situation in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa quickly turns out of control as the Allies return nuclear fire.
* Numerous states, including Russia, Brabrantium, and most of the former puppet states, collapse under the heavy nuclear weight.
* Over in neutral Asia, Japan notices that the ocean water is turning shades of gray, and poisoned with radiation. The Asian nations discuss about the dire and uncontrollable situation in Europe.
* The Americas, and then Africa, are overrun with nuclear fallout.
* Talin, now desperate at this time, heads over to former Russia to inform Asia that it wants to apologize for its part in destroying civilization. By this point, the nuclear weapons have gone completely out of control and are striking wherever and whenever they can.
* Europe is finally overrun with nuclear fallout.
* India wishes that it was able to say goodbye to Russia.
* The same deadly nukes that obliterated the Americas, Africa, and Europe, now come for Asia.
* India falls as the screen starts to become mostly hard to see through the white glare of the nukes.
* Talin finally falls, its last words mentioning the innocent blood that it has, and how it has the burden of avenging the world.
* Indonesia is overrun and collapses. It now seems as if there is no hope for the Asian continent, and the world.
* Scientists in China completes its master technology at the last second. China, before dying, has just enough time to give Japan the advanced technology: one that preserves landmass of a certain size from any disaster
* Japan activates the technology. The screen turns black and a purplish glow appears around Japan as the world is being obliterated with fallout before its eyes.
* The world, now gray and glowing red in many areas, is mostly uninhabitable. Japan sends scouts to search Europe, which is completely covered in red hue.
* The part ends with Europe turning green again for unknown reasons.
=== Part Two ===
* 800 years later, the rest of the fallout starts to clean itself. Japan feels that it is ready to expand, calling the world its "oyster". Japan changes its name to Siezon.
* The rest of the world is suddenly restored. Siezon expands fast towards Europe.
* A mysterious voice in purple text echoes. It is revealed to be a mystery state in the borders of Switzerland.
* The state explains to Siezon that it is not Switzerland, and that in fact, Switzerland is long dead. It then goes on to mention that Siezon has surpassed Switzerland in the record for the most neutral country.
* The state reveals itself to be Norma, which rules a large chunk of the Milky Way Galaxy. Finally, Norma warns Siezon very bluntly to stay out of Europe, before leaving.
* Siezon reminisces in its times with China, India, and Indonesia.
* While looking at a map of the Milky Way, Siezon notices that Norma controls an entire gigantic spiral called the Norma Arm.
* Siezon ponders why that Norma insists that it stay out of Europe. Fearing that civilization might rise again in Europe, Siezon rushes to Europe to contact Norma and "get to the bottom of this".
* "You really should have listened... you fool!" Norma angrily says as the video ends.
=== Part Three ===
* Norma is disappointed in Siezon. It reveals that Siezon was being tested and it almost passed. Norma berates Siezon for giving in to its temptations, breaking its rules just for a question.
* Norma mentions that Spira, a collection of advanced states, was testing Siezon, and proceeds to declare war.
* Norma reveals that China did not create the landmass preserving technology that it gave to Siezon.
* Enraged that China wasn't saved, Siezon attempts to invade Norma Europe, but is immediately halted by Norma's overly advanced army.
* A technology that seems to cut away land is used against Siezon by Norma, presumably cutting Siezon into two.
* Norma gives a dilemma to Siezon: either be its puppet, or die. Siezon reveals to give up and be its puppet. Feeling that Norma doesn't belong in Europe, Siezon invades a second time.
* Norma begins to change its impression on Siezon, now beginning to think that Siezon has potential to become "one of them".
* Norma accepts Siezon as "Orion", then reverses Siezon's invasion and the cut land.
* Siezon is given Europe, but under two conditions: Siezon must wait for Norma's signal to attack, and that Siezon must join Spira and help them and Norma.
* Norma then asks Siezon to wait until it can invade.
* Siezon is given a cloaking field, to hide itself when Europe rebuilds. Siezon is then ordered to gather DNA from the victims and resurrect them.
* In addition, Siezon must allow a few nations to escape when it invades Europe, which explains why he made a few nations puppets and let them escape (AFoE 13).
* Siezon is sickened by Norma's actions, but at the same time feels that it has no choice. Siezon also believes that it would be a much different person in eight thousand years.
* Eight thousand years later, Siezon's font has changed, and it is prepared to begin the master plan.
