Midgar Terrorists!
Just last night, the horrible deed was done. A group by the name of AVALANCHE bombed Reactor Number 1. The motives behind this move are unknown. What is known is that they are trying to start a movement against the Shin-ra.
Many were killed in the explosion. The loyal Shin-ra employees were lucky in the way that it was a quick death, although families would have preferred the accident to happen at night since there would have been less employees around.
Shin-ra hopes to stop this action against them. AVALANCHE will be stopped, and the future of Midgar will once again be safe.
Second Attack
Once again, AVALANCHE has attacked the people of Midgar. Reactor Number 5 met the same fate as Reactor Number 1. Shin-ra is hunting down the group, and their searches have led to new-found evidence of the groups location. It is known that they are hiding somewhere in the slums of Sector 7. More information is sure to be turning up later.
The End of AVALANCHE
AVALANCHE, the group that has put terror into the hearts of many, is finally finished. The day after the attack on Reactor Number 5 the unsuspected happened. Sector 7 was bombed, causing complete destruction. We have had word from Shin-ra, but it seems that the act was done by the group. Shin-ra assures the people that there will be no more attacks on them and that AVALANCHE is finished for good.
Death of a President
President Shin-ra has been killed, believed done by the group AVALANCHE. It seems that somehow, a few members of the group survived the blast and made it into the Shin-ra Headquarters. It is unknown how they were able to get through all of the security, though. Rumors are circulating that it was done by Sephiroth, the member of SOLDIER who has become a legend despite his death five years ago. It is still being investigated.
President Rufus takes Command
The son of President Shin-ra has now taken command of the company. Rufus, the late president's only son, plans on putting a stop to the activities of AVALANCHE. In a few days, he will be leaving Junon with an official send-off from Shin-ra employees. Any who wish to come will be welcomed.
AVALANCHE Captured--and Escaped!
The group, AVALANCHE, was recently held by the Shin-ra in prisons. Surprisingly, though, at the time of the old president's death, the group was able to escape under strange circumstances. Rumors have been spreading more and more about the involvement of Sephiroth.
AVALANCHE still on the move?
It turns out that AVALANCHE was on board the ship that took President Rufus away from Junon and to Costa del Sol. It is still unknown how they could have gotten onto the ship, but some of the crew members are being questioned on the matter, admitting they saw some strange people acting oddly (one case was a sailor walking around as if unable to support himself on only two feet).
Re-launch of Shin-ra 26?
Captain Cid, former astronaut, may get a second chance of flight in space. President Rufus is on his way to where the rocket, Shin-ra Type 26, sits leaning farther and farther over. A few years ago, this rocket was almost launched but due to problems it was abandoned by the Shin-ra.
It turns out, though, that they really wanted use of the "Tiny Bronco", a small airplane owned by Captain Cid. When President Rufus tried retrieving the ship, AVALANCHE was able to take it, along with the Captain, who had refused to let the Shin-ra use it.
Temple of the Ancients?
It has been confirmed by the Shin-ra that the Temple of the Ancients does indeed exist. There is rare and expensive materia located at this temple that President Rufus plans on using for the better of the Planet. Hopefully, though, they are able to beat AVALANCHE there.
Promised Land Found
President Rufus went to the Northern Continent searching for something. He found what he thought he would. The fabled Promised Land of the Ancients, does, indeed exist. On arriving, though, they were greeted with a strange occurrence. Cloud Strife, the leader of AVALANCHE, appears to be a Sephiroth-clone created by Professor Hojo, who evaluated him as a failed experiment. Cloud gave the Black Materia, the materia Shin-ra attempted to get from the Temple of the Ancients, to Sephiroth.
Sephiroth and Meteor
Sephiroth, long believed to be dead, is now known to be alive and in the North Cave. He has summoned Meteor, a huge rock that is now hurtling through the sky towards the Planet, to destroy everything. It is not known why he would do such a thing, but he has also loosed the monster of the Planet, Weapon. It seems there are many different Weapons, all of which are attacking anything they can. President Rufus plans on destroying the Weapons, and then Sephiroth and Meteor.
The Execution
AVALANCHE has been captured. In what was to be their last stand, Shin-ra planned on a public execution broadcasted over the television. Weapon attacked, though, and AVALANCHE escaped. They stole the airship named the Highwind and disappeared soon after Weapon was defeated.
The Huge Materia
Huge Materia. Materia so large that it takes multiple people to use is being hunted by Shin-ra in a plan to destroy Meteor. Despite the fact AVALANCHE has taken some of the materia from their very hands, they planned on launching Shin-ra 26 into the air with the one piece of materia they have.
Shin-ra 26 was launched and went to where Meteor hovered in the sky. There was a huge white explosion as they two objects contacted that could be seen almost anywhere on the Planet. To the dismay of all, though, Meteor pulled itself back together.
Activity stopped... Shin-ra was gone... For hundreds of years the paper was silent. For hundreds of years Shin-ra was never mentioned again. The barrier guarding Sephiroth was destroyed by a shot from the Sister Ray. President Rufus was killed defending Midgar, Heidegger and Scarlet were never heard from again, Reeve disappeared, and the Turks went somewhere unknown to all but themselves. Meteor made contact with Midgar, destroying the city just before Holy came. Holy did nothing to save the planet. Instead, the Lifestream created a barrier and Meteor left, leaving the city in ruins.
Shin-ra was silent two hundred years, forgotten over time. Until one day. The times were shifting for the bad again. People were in despair. They needed someone to guide them against the hardships. They needed help and were willing to turn to any who offered it. A paper, long dead and out of use, floated around with a strange heading of a strange new hope for all...
