It was the day the age of heroes ended, and the day the age of villains began, the day that was never meant to come had arrived.
Arachnos troops waited at the access points they had created throughout Paragon City, waiting for the signal to begin as villains waited for the signal for the attack.
Inside his tower within Grandville stood Lord Recluse inside a custom built command centre for the attack.
The troops are in position my lord, reported an Arachnos Scientist, They are simply waiting for the command to attack.
And the Destined One? replied Lord Recluse, his voice as impassive as his stance.
Waiting for the signal to lead the villains to the fray, replied the Scientist nervously.
Then begin the attack, replied Lord Recluse.
The attack was swift, the years since the Rikti Wars had not been wasted, and the seemingly random attacks on the city suddenly making sense as Arachnos troops began moving towards strategic targets within the city.
The heroes scrambled to the locations to prevent the attacks, heroes throughout the city fought the seemingly never ending forces at the places where the Arachnos troops were thickest, the fight became one-sided towards the heroes as the troops thinned out, until the end began.
A small group of specially trained operatives had managed to gain access to the War Walls control centre. With the flick of a switch the War Walls fell, and the villains began the attack.
Already weakened the heroes attempted to fall back only to discover that the Arachnos troops had manoeuvred themselves in between the heroes and their escape routes. A few of the faster heroes managed to escape but many were teleported to the hospital only to discover that Arachnos Troops had taken them over and were simply waiting for the fallen heroes to come to them.
Then as soon as it began they fell back, many rumors flew about the retreat. Some said that the Phalanx themselves had arrived and drove the troops back, others said that as one villain fell the rest panicked and ran. Whatever the reason, many heroes were injured, some of them even killed, and no one truly knew what caused them to fall back.
But whatever it was, it was only the beginning of Lord Recluse's plans, that much is certain.
