Battle for the Booru

**The Battle for the Booru** was a collaborative storyline held as part of the second anniversary of the Egg PAC's founding, celebrated in 2021.

In short, an army of shadow clones of various alt-Jons suddenly attacks St. Jonsabooru and the BVA headquarters, led by the powerful and vengeful Jolianna. With guardians like Primordial Rosa and TimeJon otherwise occupied, it's up to the people of the BVA - and perhaps other inhabitants of the city and the Joniverse - to step up and save the day in any way they can.

## The story so far...

Upon meeting Primordial Rosa for the first time, Jolianna challenged the primordially powerful Alt-Jon to combat. Turns out that as powerful as Jolianna is, she was simply no match for a powerful eldritch being, and got defeated for the first time in her existence. Humiliated, she wanted vengeance... and then a mysterious voice offered to give her the power she would need to take her revenge. All the voice wanted in return was to "spread her gospel".

Some time later, Jolianna - a souped-up Jolianna who was much more powerful than before - reappeared in St. Jonsabooru, spearheading an army of shadowy alt-Jons bent on attacking St. Jonsabooru. Their first target: the BVA tower. Jolianna met several members of the BVA in combat, including Icee and Theta, and while she proved powerful enough to take down several of them, she was ultimately forced to retreat.

However, while Jolianna had retreated, this did not mean the city's problems had ceased.

A scouting team headed to the ruins of the lab of WilyJon - Jolianna's creator. There, they discovered that the mad scientist had not been killed in the aftermath of her "birth", but had survived and gone undercover. He was accompanied by Altmera, a failed attempt at creating the ultimate Alt-Jon, and a much more kindly sort than her rampaging "sister".

One of the scouts, a wandering scholar by the name of Ro'suna, then went on her separate way, and made an important discovery. However, she was captured at the site she had been scouting, and it took her friend Artemis - the head of Booru Bunny Brigade - to bring the news of what the wandering scholar had found: the shadowy clones were coming from a distant cave.

Not long after that, the sky darkened as two incredibly powerful shadowy alts descended on the city: Broken Heart, a twisted counterpart of Jonriel, and the Queen of Monsters, a monstrously large hydra kaiju. They began to make their way towards the BVA Tower, and the city's defenders were forced to throw their defenses at them just to slow the two down.

During this time, WilyJon had been working on a secret weapon: a machine capable of disrupting Jolianna's biological makeup. However, it needed several days to charge up enough to be able to fire. In the meantime, the mad scientist chose to emerge from hiding and get his hands dirty.

In time, Jolianna reappeared - right in time for WilyJon's weapon to finish charging up. He fired the weapon, and the machine worked: Jolianna was left unable to use her powers, and quickly captured. The shadow Alts had been using her power to stabilise themselves, and with their leader now powerless, they were forced to retreat.

However, there was no time to celebrate. Shortly afterwards, the BVA recieved a video transmission from an entity known as Dark Rosa - the one who had made the deal with Jolianna in the first place, and the true source of the shadow Alts. She warned the BVA to prepare themselves for what was to come.
