"Mine, all mine."

The world is a frightening, chaotic, and unforgiving place. Cruel men sit in their chairs high upon the hill and decide the world for us, we who dare to be happy and live our lives in pursuit of our own goals. But what if your goal was to be that cruel man? Be the deadly threat, be the force of evil, be the Villain that fights the Heroes, as you conquer this pitiful world and make all cower beneath your boot. Could you take steps towards that goal? Really?

Enter Zed.

A mysterious boy gifted with powers beyond the realm of meagre mortals, who’s goal is exactly that. However, all plans have to start somewhere, and conquering the world isn’t the easiest thing there could be. You have to have a base for a start, you have to have decent underlings, you have to steal— I mean, raise enough money to fund your operations, it’s all a lot of work. Not to mention the other Villains that want the world for themselves, each slithering out from their dens and enacting their own devious plans, until we defeat them, claim their Dominions, and bring all realms under our control.

So, take your hand, grasp the world, and laugh maniacally, because it’s time to start the conquest. It’s time for the Red Hand to rise.

"If I Believe in Anything..."

We’re always taught to believe in the good in everyone, but good can mean many things to many people. Join Zed, Rec, July and the team again, as they deal with their expanding empire, deal with a slight infestation of dark creatures, and meet a new guest who might just be the strangest of them all.

Visit Muerton.

A vibrant and life-filled Dominion owned by a Lady and her sizable family, a family with passion and fire that just may match Zed’s own. They seemed to be friendly, accommodating, and oddly willing to be conquered, but only if it’s on their own terms and not under the other eyes that have turned their way.

The Brothers are here, they claim these Dominions in their name, wielding a power that leaves even our team of superpowered titans unable to resist their will. So, these men take what they want, shape the world how they want, and expect everyone to bow before their mysterious Exalted. But Villains bow before no one; the World is ours and no arrogant fools will take it from us.

So, be confident, believe in your ideas, believe in your power, and never accept the Absolution of the Sun.

"Visit the Pandemonium."

Fun; it’s such a big word despite being so small. It’s time for a break, despite having just begun, as Zed and three of his friends head to the Dominion of Bunka for music, art and all manner of entertainment.

We recommend;
Taking in one of the many shows, visiting the circus of nightmares, watching the dancing cats, laughing at a hilarious cartoon. Or you could just join a band and play the rhapsody for all to see. There are all manner of things to do at this place, where no one can come to harm and the only idea is to enjoy yourself. But not everyone is there for fun, for some people take fun very seriously.

Who isthis singer with honeyed words and beautiful looks?
Who is this idol that holds the power to sway the masses?
Who is this Diva that eyes the Overlord so hungrily?
And finally, what is this mysterious lab hidden under the Red Hand base actually doing down there?

So, grab your instrument, crack your fingers and move in time with the beat, as we have the time of our lives and seek the Greatest of Fortunes.

"Consequence Finds Us."

Welcome to the Grand Performance! The most Mysterious, most Spectacular, and most Horrifying show in the World! The Pandemonium Bazaar!

Zed’s history with the troupe goes back with more than what he’s saying, but none of the Red Hand are able to find the spectacle in all this. Luckily, Ronnie the Ringmaster knows all and sees all, being able to turn even the greatest of Villains into performers beyond anything ever dreamed.

Witness dazzling skill, from acts such as; Grawg the Rawrg, Jolly Shark Strongman. Sinister Snapdragon, the Far-out, Devilish Fire Eater. Bewitching Bat, a Psychotic Blade Mistress and Sword Swallower. All headlined by the Great Galatea; magician, actor, dominatrix, with secret ties to Bunka, and who doesn’t trust the Overlord as far as she can throw him.

The team will need their help though, because with Bunka holding all the cards, its hard to find fun when stalkers, zealous fans, and the Diva herself lurk around every corner. It might push even its greatest members to breaking point, where they must either choose to continue, or give in. Give in toeverything she wants.

"You have to feel it..."

The dominoes fall, and where will the game end? As Jezebel has issued an ultimatum: Zed must play her, or forfeit his Dominions. Can he win? Does he want to? Can he pull himself together long enough to come up with a plan?

The Red Hand lies in pieces, with each of its members remaining haunted by what they have encountered. Bunka has shown its true nature, this Dominion of Entertainment and Song that hides its dark secrets for those who know where to look. Where success lies waiting for those willing to risk it all, and resistance is punished through the unwieldy Sword of Justice.

For the team to admit truths, admit lies, and find safe haven in a new world, they must cast aside all illusions thus far. They must seek help from the residents, by looking to the entertainers, to the cartoons, and to their new allies in the Pandemonium Bazaar. And even those back at the base must learn to look to each other, when confronted with the dark truths that have started to emerge.

Not all is lost however, as music echoes through the streets. The Creative Rhapsody will be there when you need it most, bestowing inspiration upon the worthy, bestowing allies upon the needy. Be quiet and listen, can you hear it now? Don't stop playing, until the music stops.

"Permission... to Kill?"

Everything is in high gear, the Dominions are running like clockwork, and the Red Hand team is working like a well-oiled machine. Despite a couple of stutters here or there, it seems everyone is full gun for this Halloween Festival, the one that should bring peace to the warring factions now under Zed’s rule.

But one’s own designs are seldom free of obstructions.

The strangest guest ever comes to visit our favourite Villains and ask for help. Help? Why would anyone come to Villains for ‘help’? The idea alone makes them sound mad, but believe you me, their mere existence poses more questions about this world than Doc Rec ever thought possible. Especially when they’re so interested in Alpha.

"Break this Madness."

Sgenpig • to • Hvzaiweo, Byssaf!

Welcome to Michstein. That’s either a greeting or an insult upon your person. But the desja do have a confusing language, alongside everything else in this Dominion created and inhabited by robots. Doc Rec is only allowed there because he’s a cyborg, and even he doesn’t know if he can fit in as he hopes. Luckily, he doesn’t need to for long, because he only needs to find their mysterious leader. The only pure human in a Dominion full of perfect order.

Meanwhile, July heads off to a place where “order” is a dirty word. Just as dirty as everything else is in Fawkland. A place of pure and utter chaos, infested with gangs, with unsavoury types, and those not welcome anywhere else. There is only one rule in this place, the rule of Bore. A man who may seem terribly thuggish on first appearance, and disgusting on the second, but he somehow hides a secret that is blackmailing the great powers of the world.

"Crimes Against Humanity."

A plot! Even more underhanded plots than the Red Hand hoped to encounter to be honest, when it seems like everyone in Michstein and Fawkland has some ulterior motive, and not to mention the several back in Hallowville itself.

And to the winner, Ultimate Power.

With the core of this matter revealed, there’s time for the Red Hand to move first. They have the opportunity to act, to save the Princess, to defeat Bore, to claim even more Dominions as their own. All they have to do, is to kill their way out of this mess., and that sounds so delectably simple doesn’t it?

Which is why it seems that the despicable and enigmatic Limos has had a similar idea, seeking to get what they want from Michstein. Though, all the power in the world seems less important than Onzera for some reason, and she herself is running straight towards them in turn, seeking her own answers and putting the entire mission in jeopardy. No one knows what all the pieces do however.

No one knows how all the players intertwine, how their motives serve one purpose, bringing all the elements together and assembling them into the Shape of Perfection.

"The Blood and the Battle."

It all started with a girl. A girl gifted with an inheritance unlike any other. The power to create and to connect, to spread and to save. Truly a wonder, truly the one thing that would save us all.

But such things, in truth, are always a curse.

July now gets to see how things are like for the Overlord, and she doesn’t seem to like it one bit, even with everyone around her being oh so encouraging. Her mind though, its more on this new power of hers. This new power that hears the words whispered throughout the lands, that hears the desires of Fawkland itself, spurring her onwards to make a choice.

Onzera’s plans are now revealed, and what a cost it came at. The police have come for her, Alpha is now missing, and Rec is left scrambling as the Servile closes in. Even Qwerty and Limos don’t know how to hand all the chaos coming into this robotic Dominion, for only he knows how everything will soon be rendered into the Shape of Perfection.

All hopes now lie within the heart of the Ahkawb Arena, and the imposing Hbyoa that call themselves its guardians. They must bring together those chosen by the brio, those who can activate the Circuit.

"Fix Our Mistakes."

It’s all converging on Fawkland. All the schemes, all the madness, all the hurt, pain, and regret. In order to stop more from being lost to chaos, the Red Hand must be brought together once more, in order to face down the two monsters that seek to bring down reality itself.

CASCA and BORE.

Even the unstoppable force of July and unparalleled mind of Doc Rec can’t seem to out match this duo, but it seems they might have some unexpected backup. Another duo can turn this tide in their favour, another pair with power and ingenuity unmatched. With very little options left, it’ll have to be one hell of a plan though, one that will likely leave nothing standing afterwards.

Things get even more dire by the second, because now the Mighty Paragon has also made her move. Nothing can stop this Hero of Heroes, nothing can stop her from heading there to take care of the situation herself. All is not as simple as she wishes though, so Zed and Gaze must delay her in any way they can. Bringing some truths to light.

This is it! This is the climactic finale of the Anarchy Circuit saga, and all we can do is hope, hope that it all doesn’t end up in pieces.
