Reich-Antic War

The Reich-Antic War was a conflict fought between the United Reich and the Brotherhood of Fegelein. It was concurrent with the Second Reich-Jodl Rebellion War.
== History ==
=== Prelude ===
In 2015, Downfall Hitler planned to kill Hermann Fegelein using time travel as all of his previous attempts to kill Fegelein have failed. However, before he could go on with his plan, he came into contact with a future version of himself. The future version tells Downfall Hitler of his victory and the massive consequences that came from it. He tells him that killing Fegelein in the past resulted in the Real Hitler winning The War of the Hitlers and establishing the Greater Nazi Reich after he conquered most of the world. He then advises his past self not to use time travel to prevent this timeline from coming to pass before leaving after somberly stating that in his timeline, the United Reich was no more. Downfall Hitler took his future version's advice to heart and decided to destroy the Reich Time Machine. Despite this, he would find other ways to kill Fegelein which would lead to him and the United Reich coming into conflict with a new threat called the Brotherhood of Fegelein: a global antic force loyal to Fegelein.
Sometime later, Downfall Hitler planned to exercise more power on the United Reich by planning global domination. After Alfred Jodl had planned to eliminate Downfall Hitler, Downfall Hitler angrily ranted at him before deciding to eliminate Jodl in retaliation. Despite Jodl's objections, Downfall Hitler seemingly killed Jodl with his Pencil of Doom MK II. He also targeted Fegelein and supposedly killed him as well. With Jodl and Fegelein seemingly dead, Downfall Hitler proposed a Final Solution to target all those who would pose a threat to him. Unbeknownst to anyone, the Brotherhood of Fegelein was secretly established and operated in the shadows, being responsible for a bomb plot against Downfall Hitler and even inspiring Hans Krebs to commit an antic of his own.
Downfall Hitler used the Pencil of Doom MK II to eliminate many people and gloated that Jodl and Fegelein were unable to stop him. While all this going on, someone was secretly watching. It was revealed to be none other than the Master of Antics himself, who revealed that he was not dead after all. The Jodl Ghost then appeared beside him. Together, they and their followers intended to sabotage Downfall Hitler's plan.
=== The Conflict ===
The Brotherhood of Fegelein continued to operate in the shadows until they fully emerged after there were rumors that Fegelein was alive. The United Reich attempted to fight the BoF, but had little success and Downfall Hitler's plans were scaled back. Albert Speer said that the BoF shouldn't be underestimated as the BoF was a global movement and continues to grow. Despite the troubles caused by the BoF, Downfall Hitler continue to pursue his plans. The Brotherhood of Fegelein caused chaos in Berlin and sent a message to Downfall Hitler that Fegelein was still alive and they sabotaged Pencil of Doom MK II; the targets that Downfall Hitler eliminated during his plan only disappeared for a short time before coming back to life. Downfall Hitler refused to believe this believed they were lies. The Brotherhood of Fegelein agreed to stop their antics and join the United Reich on the condition that Downfall Hitler ends his assassination attempts on Fegelein. Downfall Hitler and most of his officials refused to do so and continued to try and kill Fegelein, believing that once Fegelein was dead, the Brotherhood of Fegelein would surrender. He eventually decided to abandon his plan after learning that the rumors of Jodl and Fegelein being alive were true and news that the Brotherhood of Fegelein along with a second Jodl Rebellion were in league with each other. With that, he had the United Reich solely dedicated to wiping out both factions and planned to use the Wrath of Hitler Cannon: a space-based weapon system that was revealed to be under construction for the past three years.
After destroying the Jodl Rebellion's base and wiping out most of its armies, Wilhelm Keitel discovered that Fegelein was at the Temple of Fegelein, which was heavily guarded and served as the base of operations for Fegelein and his followers. Downfall Hitler commenced an attack on the temple and gloated that Fegelein was a dead man before firing on the temple with the Wrath of Hitler Cannon, which obliterated the temple and seemingly killed Fegelein again.
=== Aftermath ===
After Downfall Hitler destroyed the Temple of Fegelein with the Wrath of Hitler Cannon, the United Reich began to show itself as a global power despite Downfall Hitler abandoning his global domination. However, the war still continued in secret as the Brotherhood of Fegelein didn't surrender as Downfall Hitler expected. Though the BoF was weakened, they refused to believe that Fegelein was killed and continued their warfare in his name until the BoF merged with the United Reich.
