The Crossover Wars

Introduction

It can be said that good and evil are a matter of perspective, and that measures taken by those defending their land may be just as bad as those taken by the attackers. These two theories were tested to the fullest during the crisis that was the Crossover Wars of 2007, when Bunnies and CRFH Boardies went head to head with an evil the like of which they had never seen before...
The Operation Lagomorph comic chronicles some of the action between FLEET, the EGS-DF and the EOU's forces.

Beginnings

In early 2007, a band of villains known as the Evil Overlords United, led by the sinister Editor, launched an attempt to conquer the webcomic universes. Using a technology called DRACO (Dimensional Realities Arcane Crossover Organiser), they subdued world after world in devastating blitzkriegs, leaving the inhabitants reeling. Then one day, EGS appeared on one of their monitors...

The Arming and the Retreat

In response to their observations of EGS, the Bunnies in the Main Forum began arming themselves against an attack from the EOU, believing it to be coming soon. However, the Overlords noticed the arming of the Bunnies and decided that attacking a place geared up for war would be suicide, and seemingly focused their efforts elsewhere. Not for long, however...

Agent Bunny Comes

On April 4, 2007, the Overlords sent a spy into the forums, to learn the tactics of the Bunnies and sow dissent. This spy was known as Agent Bunny. At the same time, a poster named Death Bunny entered the Invasion Thread and signed up for training. On April 10, Agent Bunny infiltrated a TF gun warehouse and placed DRACO beacons on some of the crates, allowing a stockpile of TF guns to fall into the hands of the EOU. On April 16, things took a dramatic turn- Amon Star accused Death Bunny of being the mole. Death Bunny was immediately arrested and put on trial, but found not guilty due to lack of evidence. Many apologised, but several remained unconvinced...

The Attack on the Funky Horror and Agent Bunny's Discovery

On April 24th, the Head Alien launched an assault on the Funky Horror, using Agent Bunny's DRACO beacons to bypass any defences. The assault ended when HA's forces captured several spaceships.
Meanwhile, things were heating up in the frantic search for Agent Bunny. Finally, on April 27th, Loweko made this post.....
"Ah, Death Bunny. Found not guilty by a jury of your peers, and so proud of yourself for getting off scot free. A newbie, and therefore one with access to all that bright, shiny equipment because of course EGS took you in and gave you a TF gun... and no doubt you've been hanging around a lot of storage places over the last few weeks. If a newbie wanders around a sensitive area, why, he's clearly just gotten a bit lost. Perfectly understandable.

But it's amazing what a background check will turn up, and my Counterintelligence people have discovered you're not a forumite at all. You're a character from Impy & Avery. A webcomic currently plagued by mysterious forcefield technology.

In other words, no doubt trying to curry favour with your overlords to avoid the invasion of I&A, you're working to give them EGS instead. You're Agent Bunny.

Men? Take him alive if it is reasonably practicable."
Death Bunny confessed immediately, and began to fight his way out. A huge battle ensued, with many bunnies injured. However, the victory eventually went to the forces of Bunnydom, Death Bunny just escaping with his life... and a mysterious scrap of paper, which the Overlords were delighted to see...

Preparations In Mayhem

The growing crisis was not being ignored in Mayhem. General KylenPhylar realised that Mayhem needed to be equally defended against attack by the EOU, as it would be EGS' first line of defence. To this end, Fort Mayhem was set up, and the Waffle House was requisitioned as the Head Planning Office for the EGS Defence Force. All these measures were designed to defend against the attack everyone knew was coming, but never quite expected when it did...

The Battle of Mayhem: War Comes Home

On May 2, 2007, war broke out on two fronts: in the damaged mall where Anya and Squata had fought, which was invaded by EOU droids, and at the Head Planning Office itself, which the Head Alien attacked directly, abducting all forces stationed there. Bunny forces quickly began fighting back at the Mall, with the first Bunny casualty being General Amon Star, who was warped back to Fort Mayhem for medical attention. After being pushed back, the EGS Defence Force was able to cordon off the EOU droids and call in an orbital bombardment. The EOU droids eventually retreated to EOU headquarters, the first victory in the Battle of Mayhem. However, Ciennas was badly damaged in the battle. Shortly after, droids were spotted in one of the parks. Bunny forces immediately converged on the park, little knowing that a group of disguised Droids had opened a rift at the Mall, unleashing horrible Lovecraftian monstrosities there.
The battle at the Park ended when the Hammer o' Justice bombarded it, reducing it to a smoking crater.
There was a brief crisis as A Fan, Mal, Teleros and Jenny Collins fought to repair a Tear in space-time at the mall. They succeeded, but were flung to the four points of the compass. Meanwhile, a horde of zombie catgirls had to be defeated.
With the battle at the mall over, bunnies began heading to the spaceport for the next stage in the battle...

Taking the Offensive

The Head Alien had used the captured ships to attack the Drunken Scribblings webcomic, but ships from FLEET were close behind, engaging the Head Alien's fleet in orbit. Meanwhile, a strike force was set up by Anya to board the Head Alien's ship and rescue Ankhareon, Ajac, Stardrake and Jstone, who had been abducted during the attack on the Head Planning Office. It was about this time that Mayhem's first news channel, MNCAN, began broadcasting. Originally transmitting news of the Crossover Wars, it diversified into RPs quite quickly.
