**The Freedom Fighters** was a faction on the SMP which was formed by **Arbiter** as a direct opposition to the Fire Nation.They were the frontline against the Fire Nation and at it's peak, the Freedom Fighters had a large majority of the sever on their side, all banding together in order to put a stop to the Fire Nation's antics. Eventually, after the Fire Nation was defeated, they were officially disbanded by Arbiter as a sign of peace and union.

## History

### **Fire Nation Arc**

During the Fire Nation Arc, after being fed up by their antics. Arbiter would finally form a group to bring the server together against the Fire Nation. He created a banner and proceeded to name the group the Freedom Fighters. The first two members to be recruited into the group would be both Ice and Boom together at the same time, however, Arbiter knew he would need more. He proceeded to add Reese to the SMP and then shortly after enlist him. He also asked Slcsh to join him, but at first Slcsh declined the offer. Arbiter pulled some underhanded tactics to force Slcsh on his side, which eventually convinced Slcsh to finally join the FF. The first major opperation of the group started with Arbiter successfully baiting Lucas into tracking him down and fighting, which resulted in Arbiter's death. Arbiter knew that they could not wait for the FN to attack, and so he knew that starting a conflict now, while the FN wasn't as strong would be the right call. With a successful opperation, the FF would have a reason to fully declare war agains the FN and also make themselves look like the good guys in the conflict. The first major battle of the war began after the Fire Nation blew up Arbiter's transcontinental railway. They had a small skirmish which resulted in the FN successfully driving the FF away. Defeated and with low morale, the FF would return to the secret base. As the final battle loomed closer, both sides of the conflict grinded for the best gear and equipment. Arbiter also planned two strategies during the battle. The first strategy was to try and kill the fire nation in an instant by spamming them with harming and poison potions. Arbiter also provided the FF with many milk buckets in case they poisoned themselves. The second strategy was to simply wear the FN off. He knew that he had the numbers advantage, and so if a battle began to drag, people's gear would start to break, and so the FN would be overwhelmed by it.

Finally, on the day of the battle, Arbiter gave a speech to the FF which is currently lost to history. Then, both sides set to meet next to the Courthouse, there Arbiter would give the FN terms of surrender, as a last chance for them to give up. Lucas declined and soon, the battle insued.After a long 20 minutes, the Freedom Fighters managed to overcome the FN's fierce fighting, making them the victors of the conflict.

Afterwards, Arbiter would force the FN to disband and make ammends. He'd also disband the Freedom Fighters, claiming that they were no longer needed and that now it was time to repair relations with those who up until now had been their enemies.
