False Flag Operations seen in Fan Works.
Crossovers
- Aeon Entelechy Evangelion: Employed by a Migou operative in order to kill a senior officer of the NEG Army without drawing attention to their faction.
- Avenger of Steel: Invoked by J. Jonah Jameson, who insists that Asgard was secretly behind Ao Shun's attack on New York, as part of an ongoing plan to make the Earth dependent upon their aid and "protection".
- Boldores And Boomsticks features two examples in the aptly-titled Chapter 24: "Untrue Banner Procedures". In an effort to get information out of one of Team Rocket's Pokémon, Blake's Gastly uses an illusion to make it appear that a caged Beowolf is talking. Later, it's revealed that the criminals weren't actually part of Team Rocket, but were mercenaries secretly hired by Faba, who paid them extra to frame Team Rocket for the theft.
- A Champion in Earth-Bet:
- Combat Clairvoyant Napoleon demonstrates his abilities by giving an order to one of his opponents in the heat of battle, confusing and distracting all of his enemies for a crucial moment.
- In order to provoke infighting amongst the Brazilian cartels, the Avatar shapeshifts into a female cape with electrical powers and takes down one of the stronger capes employed by one of said cartels. This entices the rest into going after their weakened rivals, unaware of the Guild's involvement.
- A very complex version is used in Code Prime at the climax of R1 — Megatron has Airachnid capture Euphemia the day before the SAZ is to go live and replaces the princess with a Pretender. At the SAZ opening ceremony, the Pretender slaughters several of the gathered Japanese. Then, Soundwave impersonates Charles and gives Bismarck the order to wipe out all of the Elevens in the SAZ (which Bismarck passes down to the rest of the Britannian Army), ensuring that even if the Autobots and Black Knights stop the slaughter, Britannia is complicit in the Massacre, with it looking like they were in on from the beginning. This triggers a Japan-wide rebellion that proceeds to tie up the Autobots, Black Knights, and Britannia, giving Megatron an opening to invade and conquer Pendragon.
- Conquest: Upon deciding that the President doesn't fight in the way they'd prefer, Admiral Halsey has him assassinated, alongside several other officials, using Imperial weaponry. They then declare martial law.
- Coreline:
- In A Job for the Water Tribe, the heroes initially believe the kidnappers to be members of Team Magma, only to learn that this is in play — the true culprits are Team Aqua, attempting to trick Avatar Korra into helping them raise the ocean levels. Unfortunately for them, Korra spots the thread and realizes they aren't using any Fire-type Pokémon.
- Coreline: A Tale Of Two Maris features Mari Illustrious Makinami getting framed for murder by one, thanks to an alternate version of herself.
- A Dovahkiin Spreads His Wings has a few "bandit attacks" made by people who are suspiciously far better supplied and healthier than one would expect actual bandits to be, going after targets that most bandits would consider far too risky to pursue. One goes after King Robert's traveling party when he's making his way back to King's Landing, while another goes after Tyrion's traveling party.
- Event Horizon: Storm of Magic: Fred and VENI exploit the chaos and confusion of the Battle of the Red Fork to destroy several ammunition depots and assassinate several noblemen (including Tywin and Kevan Lannister), while making it appear that somebody else was responsible.
- Fairies of the Shattered Moon: During the Great War, when Vale was losing against the combined forces of Mantle and Mistral, Salem tricked Vacuo into believing the pair were planning to invade them as well by staging one of these. When Jaune notes that Remnant's history books claim that Mantle and Mistral attacked in earnest, Salem reminds him that history is Written by the Winners.
- Falling Iron: Guided by her path, Contessa pretends to be a HYDRA agent, which leads Fury to discover the actual HYDRA moles.
- Fate Genesis: In order to secretly observe the various players of the War, Stuart's group creates a fake Eggman robot.
- Fate: Hero and Sword: In an effort to get both halves of Roble to stop fighting each other so much, Agravain has an army of monsters created and uses them to attack the rebel forces in Southern Roble, trying to unite them against a common enemy.
- Fate: Kill: Honest attempts to discredit Shirou by framing him for the mass-murder of civilians that Honest secretly ordered to be executed.
- Incompatible System has a somewhat unusual example: In order to protect Creators, Geth decide to hunt down Bartarian pirates while doing their best to ensure that the Council races cannot identify them as Geth. They also use weapons that were inspired by Humanx gamma lasers — not to frame them, but hoping to draw their attention with the similarities so that they can eventually make contact.
- J-WITCH Series: When the heroes confront Cedric and Miranda, the Shadowkhan appear with orders to act hostile towards everyone. Seeing the Shadowkhan seemingly "subduing" the pair, Elyon instinctively attempts to help them by unleashing a shockwave that vaporizes their assailants... but also momentarily incapacitates the heroes.
- Kings of Revolution: The Mandarin introduces himself by attacking and destroying a Vandein Corporation facility, claiming that they were part of the corruption within the TSAB. In reality, his own agents were responsible for said corruption.
- A Man of Iron:
- On the day that an Iron Pointe party arrives at King's Landing, an order is issued swapping out the Gold Cloaks manning the city gates replaced with Lannister guards, who are much more hostile towards the group. The order was written in Tywin's hand, but somebody changed the date. Everyone in the party and the Small Council swiftly realizes that somebody was trying to sabotage their alliance with the Iron Throne.
- In order to make the Free Folk look treacherous, Red Skull has several wights made from the corpses of Free Folk, dresses them up in Night Watch uniforms, and has them attack Eastwatch.
- Son of the Seven Kingdoms: Littlefinger, with Lysa Arryn's knowledge and consent, stages one of these to turn the Vale against Prince William in the Civil War, hiring an assassin to stage an intended-to-fail attempt on Robert Arryn's life, get caught, and then "confess" to having been hired by William to punish the Vale for staying neutral. Fortunately, Mya Stone and William's other spies in the Vale catch wind of the plot and spin it in his favor, killing the assassin before he can "confess" and planting evidence that he was hired by the Mythic Dawn cult.
- A Song of Ice and Fires That Weren't All My fault: A shadowbinder working for the Red Temple disguises themselves as a Faceless Man before killing Tregar Antaryon, in order to prevent the Sealord from discovering who they were really working for. He attempts to use this same disguise to force Harry out of Braavos.
- Star Wars vs Warhammer 40K: Palpatine sabotages First Contact between the Galactic Republic and the Imperium of Man by remotely activating the control chip of a clone captain in the Republic fleet and forcing the clone to ram his Venator-class Star Destroyer into an unarmed Imperial refugee ship at lightspeed, ultimately resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Imperial civilians. From the Imperium's perspective, it seemed as though the Republic had just attacked and killed a ton of their civilians unprovoked, so they respond by destroying the Republic fleet making first contact and later waging all-out war upon the Star Wars galaxy.
- In The Swarm of War, in the second story arc, a Zerg force is lost in a minor Warp anomaly and lands on an Imperium world. Investigation reveals Laser-Guided Amnesia in the colony's memories, which implies artificial causes with hints pointing toward the Eldar and their psyker powers. However, Volran guesses correctly that the real culprit is the Overmind, since only he could have done such a precise work.
- In Thy Good Neighbor, Roose Bolton, having heard of a massive windfall landing upon House Stark's lap, moves as fast as he can to counter it, by having his bannerman, Ludd Whitehill, send a force to attack the source of said windfall, the enigmatic Lord Cyril Fairchild and his lady wife, posing as brigands to embarrass House Stark by killing guests under their protection. Unfortunately, Lord Fairchild is an experienced Hunter who survived the worst the hellish city of Yharnam could throw at him, so all it does is epically piss off the Lord Hunter and get said force slaughtered to a man.
- In The Warmistress of Equestria, the sequel to The God Empress of Ponykind, the deer have apparently done a few of these over the years against the griffons and ponies, in order to keep them busy fighting each other and their attention off of the deer.
- The Traitor Legions and their griffon co-conspirators take advantage of this trope as well they send a "pony" assassin after the Griffon King and a griffon assassin after Celestia, in order to start a war between Equestria and the griffons that the Traitor Legions can take advantage of.
- In A Young Girl's Game of Thrones, Robert's hunting party is beset by assassins dressed in furs to appear like Northmen and shouted "For the North!" just before they attacked. Absolutely nobody is fooled by this; people either suspect Cersei (correctly), the Targaryens or Stannis as the culprit depending on their political leaning.
- Lightning Only Strikes Once has this trope invoked at least once. Lexa assassinates Charles Pike but does so in a way that appears for all intents and purposes to have been an unintentional consequence of being attacked by troops from Mount Weather.
- In Code Geass: Lelouch of Britannia, Lelouch's company is deliberately under-supplied by the logistical higher-ups due to Lelouch being the Black Sheep. Thus, a supposed "enemy raid" on a Britannian supply column by EU Knightmares was totally not perpetrated by Jeremiah and the Black Knights operating captured machines.
- Freedom From Fear: Frustrated by how the Ducks are refusing to talk to each other or apologize for the Spear of Selene incident, Lena makes it appear that Magica is returning in order to force their reunion and reconciliation.
- Seventh Endmost Vision has an interestingly neutral version implied in the backstory. The "official" Shinra story is that the first space launch crewed by Cid Highwind was sabotaged by the Western Alliance, a multinational opposition to Shinra headed by Cosmo Canyon. Those who played the original game know that one of the oxygen tanks on Shinra's No. 26 was flawed, casting doubt on the official story. Given how guilty Shera feels for the entire War in the one note we have on her, it's entirely possible that the tank is still at fault.
- An Eagle Among Lions: In order to earn Dimitri's trust, Those Who Slither in the Dark had several of their agents infiltrate the Knights of Seiros, killing the real Knights. They then murdered King Lambert and his knights, kidnapping Dimitri, his stepmother, and Glenn, imprisoning and torturing them all alongside other kidnapped children. All of their tormentors wore the Crest of Seiros on their armor and robes. Once Dimitri was successfully implanted with the Crest of Flames, they allowed him to be rescued, then introduced themselves to him as a "secret society" claiming to be fighting the Church's corruption from the shadows.
- Gray Whirlpool Series: One of this is implied in Fire. During the final battle with Ryoma, he proclaims that Takumi relayed rumors to him that a "white-haired Nohrian princess" was attacking various Hoshidan villages and landmarks. His source has every reason to lie to Ryoma in order to rile him up further.
- In the Derelict campaign for FreeSpace 2, this happens accidentally when the Shivans attempt to reach a jump node blockaded by the GTVA. When Shivan capital ships larger than the blockade can handle start showing up, it seems like the Shivans will rip through them like paper. Cue the MMC-controlled Auriga, an Orion-class destroyer modified to have More Dakka, ripping through the Shivans like paper as it runs for the node. The Shivans, unaware the Auriga isn't friendly to GTVA interests, assume the GTVA is far better equipped than they actually are and retreat.
- Played straight in another (otherwise unrelated) FreeSpace 2 campaign - In Sol: A History, a group of Earth Alliance pilots use ships generally used by another faction (the Independent Peoples of Pluto) and attack a Neptunian convoy, causing the two groups to start fighting each other.
- In Boys do Tankary?, Vincent is warned at one point that his opponents might have stolen uniforms from his side and may be pretending to be his comrades in order to trick him and lure him off-guard.
- Birds of a Feather: In Cry of the Falcon, a commando team working for the Earth Forces attempts to assassinate Siegel and Lacus Clyne with Section Nine weaponry.
- Blindness: In order to conceal Harry's disability, Dumbledore makes it appear as though he's being secretly taught by Aurors. This falls apart when the Goblet of Fire selects Harry as one of its champions.
- Divided and Entwined:
- The riot of Diagon Alley was one of these: Death Eaters secretly blocked the ability to apparate or use Floo powder, then set a mob of angry purebloods upon shops owned by muggleborn wizards. However, Voldemort did not order this, and was deeply displeased with those who staged the whole thing.
- The Aurors employ this when they create a fake muggleborn group, hoping to trick members of the Resistance into trusting them.
- Emperor: The Northern Sun, which has managed to get several magical bombs that cause EMPs and great destruction, puts these bombs in several places around the world and pins the blame on the Death Eaters (who are actually running around), later revealing that they have special technology hardened against those bombs. The plan is to provoke France into declaring war over that technology, and then invade and add France to the Northern-dominated European Treaty Organization. They call this Operation SUCKERPUNCH.
- In Hail Odysseus, Harry and Ginny kill one of Voldemort's spies in the Ministry, making it appear that Death Eaters were responsible for the death.
- Harry Potter and the Lady Thief: The Caper Crew attempts these twice: during the heist of Davis Manor, they pretend to be Death Eaters, and they also stage a fake heist on Grimmauld Place. However, in both cases, these plans backfire, and they barely avoid being captured by Aurors.
- In Hermione Granger and the Marriage Law Revolution, Magical Prussia makes it appear that a "British agent" was killed by French Aurors while staying in Prussia, as part of a Pretext for War. Nobody is actually fooled, but it still causes the war to escalate.
- A Thing of Vikings: King Mac Bethad and his spymaster Taskill set one up in an attempt to kill Hiccup in England in a way that would make people think King Harthacnut was behind it. The attempt only manages to kill one of the people assigned to protect Hiccup and the resulting war between Berk and Harthacnut leaves Mac Bethad in what he perceives as a worse position than he was before. Him and Taskill would never had been known to have been behind the attempt until after Taskill is captured by Berk and confesses.
- Checkmate (Anla'Shok): Once President Achlys, the creator of the Hunger Games, finally realizes Mags is a rebel, she plots to kill her in a staged rebel attack to crush sympathy for the rebellion. She ends up Out-Gambitted and is killed herself by a genuine rebel during the attempted assassination.
- In For the Glory of Irk, The Conspiracy is fond of using these to further their goals:
- After Voel and Therron learn of their plans and flee, the Control Brains fake footage to make it look like the Syndicate assassinated them, in order to create a Pretext for War.
- After Vero is discovered to be an informant for the heroes and escapes, the Brains and Xia cover this up by saying he was kidnapped by the Syndicate in order to further inflame tensions.
- Xia unleashes the Parasite M on the Massive, in order to give her a reason to activate the War Protocol onboard the ship as a step towards total implementation on the whole Irken race.
- Crimson and Noire: In chapter 32, Marinette starts receiving flowers on her locker from a secret admirer. However, one day she finds that someone had vandalized her desk with half-dead and torn black flowers and shattered eggs with a letter asking if she really believed that someone would leave her flowers, making it seems that her admirer was stringing her along and set her up for humiliation. After having to fight off Lady WiFi who was hunting down the culprit, Marinette finds that someone delivered a vase of flowers with a letter saying that her admirer didn't vandalize her desk, but she isn't sure that it's the truth. Later in chapter 36, Kagami reveals to Alya that she was the one who was leaving flowers in Marinette's locker, along with not being the one to vandalize Marinette's desk, implying that whoever did wasn't happy about Marinette getting flowers and wanted to make the giver look bad.
- Cheat Code: Support Strategist: All for One tricks Spinner into believing a hero was responsible for Stain's death, when in reality the villainous Trapper was responsible. When Hitoshi connects to Stain's vestige within Spinner and reveals the truth, Spinner is not happy.
- Subverted in Dead on Arrival. The Metahuman Network believes this to be one of Destro's recruiting methods: have some of his men pose as anti-metahuman black ops units working for the government, kidnap metahumans, then have others free them from their captors and offer employment. In reality, Nedzu took over the facility in question.
- Witness: During the climax, evidence is found suggesting that the black masks were actually members of Silverteeth all along. However, Shoto realizes that this doesn't make sense, and was set up to tie up "loose ends" neatly.
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
- Atlas Strongest Tournament: Since the final match of the tournament, between Rarity and Scootaloo, is in a multi-leveled arena, when they're separated, it gives Aurelia and another changeling a chance to lure them both into thinking the other is outright trying to kill them, leading to Scootaloo nearly killing Rarity with her finishing move.
- Subverted in The Divide
— Chrysalis tries to take advantage of Cloudsdale's secession from Equestria and trigger a full-scale civil war by sending several changelings disguised as Royal Guards to attack the city. However, Swift Storm is smart enough to realize that if Celestia really wanted to attack Cloudsdale, she'd be a lot more effective at it. - In Equestria: A History Revealed, the Conspiracy Theorist narrator seems to believe that nearly all the big events that happened in the show were a result of this, with either Celestia orchestrating a deal with the villains, or subtly manipulating them behind the scenes. Of course, given that she justifies these theories with a great heaping load of Insane Troll Logic, it becomes increasingly obvious that this is clearly not the case.
- Just Before the Dawn: The war between Equestria and Whitetail begins when mercenaries posing as Equestrians attack River Rum, slaughtering the deer there. While Celestia manages to convince Chancellor Artellus that they were not responsible, Artellus is then assassinated, provoking the deer into declaring war.
- A Moon and World Apart: When the Lunar Republic's Orion project is sabotaged, Director Neighsay attempts to make it look like the Equestrians were responsible, therefore ruining any hope of the two nations reconciling and triggering a war between them.
- The Powers of Harmony: According to the world-building forums, Discord started the Blood War between Metallic and Chromatic dragons by killing the dragon leader/progenitor Io and planting evidence that made each side think the other was responsible. Celestia and Luna eventually exposed the truth, but the war has left deep distrust between the two types of dragons ever since.
- Upon a Falling Feather: The Shadowbolts fuse together and disguise themselves as Shining Armor before attacking Cadence, thus turning the whole Crystal Empire on the heroes.
- In Better Left Unsaid, Ino possesses the ROOT agent Fuu in order to infiltrate their base with Naruto as a Trojan Prisoner.
- Compass of Thy Soul: Aware that their rivals in the Senju clan are likely to try assassinating any seal specialist in their ranks, the Uchiha present Sannosawa as their sealmaster rather than Kita. Their caution is well warranted, as Sannosawa and several other specialists wind up being murdered over the course of the following years.
- Health and Wellness (The Sanitize Universe): Concerned by the success of the Senju-Uchiha alliance and how it's causing prices to rise, a neighboring lord stages an attack on Chiyuku, attempting to frame the Senju clan for it. After figuring out the truth and ruthlessly crushing the lord's plans, Madara notes that he had to hire agents from outside the Land of Fire, as it was doubtful he would have been able to find anyone closer that was willing to hurt Yui.
- in dreams you follow (but I dream in the dark): In order to set up his cover as a Fake Defector, Kiba murders Danzo, making it appear to be a Crime of Self-Defense against his abuser. In reality, Tsunade herself signed off on Danzo's death.
- Naruto: The Game of Life: Danzo has several members of ROOT disguise themselves as Kirigakure Nuke-nin to test Naruto's skills and potentially capture him. However, Naruto realizes that they're not what they claim to be.
- True Potential:
- Danzō loves employing this tactic with ROOT; not only does he stage an assassination attempt on the Raikage while trying to set up Jiraiya to take the fall, but he has Suzumebachi's brothers murdered and tries to pin the crime on Onoki.
- During Kumo's Chūnin Exams, the Akatsuki hires several mercenaries from Oyashiro and has them disguise themselves as foreign ninjas, attempting to murder several genin.
- EVA Sessions: Someplace Vast and Dry: This is one of Kihl's favorite tactics: hiring mercenaries and assassins and having them purport to be members of various extremist and terrorist groups, in order to undermine NERV's autonomy and further consolidate the power of GEHIRN/SEELE. In particular, the raid on the NERV Evangelion Center, along with the attempt to kidnap Rei and her "Mermaid" sisters, is publicly attributed to the Golden Army, which is an otherwise obscure American anti-NERV group.
- Fairly English Story: Minato combines this with Framing the Guilty Party in order to shift the blame for destroying an old military warehouse to Strega: he takes his shirt off, covers himself in demonic tattoos, then throws up a hood and lets himself be seen fleeing the scene of the crime with a gun in hand.
- Pokemon: Shadow of Time: The government of Ferrum unleashes several Shadow Pokémon in order to engage in some Engineered Heroics by stopping them.
- In Arc Royale, in order to avoid coming under suspicion for the blast that kills Barista Jaune, Fate Jaune plants another bomb that seemingly nearly kills them.
- "Or Something" Series: In The Knight of Lancaster or Something, Tyrian shouts "For the True King" before trying to murder Melody Arc. Since he's Faunus, Mordred's forces assume that he was working for Jaune's Faunus-friendly faction, while Jaune's forces assume he was either working for Mordred directly or for the White Fang. While he fails to kill Melody, he still triggers a massive riot.
- A Rabbit Among Wolves: Cinder intends to kill Jaune, framing either Beacon or Atlas for the deed. When Jaune is convicted by Vale, they ambush his transport, defacing it with White Fang iconography so that the group will be falsely blamed for breaking their leader out of custody.
- Game of Thrones: Vendetta: Lucian attacks the Iron Islands, killing Balon's brothers and daughter, while making it appear that the Lannisters are at fault. This tricks Balon into attacking Lannisport and Casterly Rock.
- Nymeria's War: In order to secure an alliance against House Manwoody, Garrison Fowler orders one of his agents to attack several Blackmont villages near the Manwoody border while wearing Manwoody colors. This convinces Benedict Blackwood that his kingdom is under attack as well.
- Peace Forged in Fire: The Tal'Shiar try to break up the talks by attacking an Imperial ship under Republic colors, but Jaleh Khoroushi sees through it right away: one of the warbirds' names they used belonged to a vessel that was destroyed fighting the Undine over Qo'noS. They later attack the talks directly flying Republic colors, but the Republic had sent out an update three hours earlier for their IFF transponders that was missing from the fake ships.
- Roger, Roger: Battledroids are able to pass themselves off as clone troopers by wearing the same face-concealing helmets.
- In The Unabridged Memoirs of Darth Plagueis the Wise, Dooku bombs the Senate and plants evidence that the Rim Liberation Front is responsible, in order to convince the Republic and the Jedi to take action against them. Initially it fails in this regard, as both groups note how convenient the evidence is, how little damage the attack did, and most tellingly, how the RLF hadn't actually claimed responsibility (which doesn't fit their MO). Ultimately, though, they do go to war anyway, and more importantly, this all provides an opportunity for Dooku to claim the office of Chancellor, the previous Chancellor having been killed in the bombing.
- Vader's Folly: As part of his overall plan to screw over Palpatine's schemes, a time-displaced Vader attacks Jabba's palace and leaves evidence behind implicating the Trade Federation, cementing the illusion by stealing all of Jabba's money and leaving a digital trail leading to the Federation via the Banking Clan. This leads to the Hutts declaring a war of vengeance on the Federation, severely damaging the Separatists' war effort.
- Played for Laughs in A Vice-Captain's Tale. Since Storm Knight is supposed to have the reputation of a womanizer despite having no interest in women, his subordinates help his reputation along by asking their own girlfriends to pretend to be his exes and berate him in public.
- Misaligned Gemini: After figuring out that Counterpunch is a Deep Cover Agent for the Autobots, Megatron sends him along with Deadlock and Doubledealer to attempt to assassinate Pyra Magna. The real plan is to leave Punch behind and let him be caught while the other "Autobots" flee. In order to prevent this plan from working, Punch survives long enough to escape into the Sea of Rust, ensuring that his body can't be used as evidence against the Autobots.
- The Roboutian Heresy: T'au history teaches that, after the Damocles Crusade, the World Eaters Legion (who have Adaptational Heroism here) massacred every Tau outside the Damocles Gulf with no regard for civilians. It's later revealed to Commander Farsight that the World Eaters actually put the surviving Tau on ships with just enough supplies to last them the trip, and sent them back to Tau space with a warning to never enter Imperial borders again. Instead, the Ultramarines destroyed the ships in-transit, and the Ethereals lied by claiming the World Eaters did it to drum up outrage for another war effort.
- Are You Afraid of the Dark?:
- Lung firmly believes that the Dark are nothing more than an elaborate one of these being staged by the PRT, ignoring all evidence to the contrary.
- Coil stages a fake Dark attack, making it appear that they attacked a bank truck in broad daylight.
- The Dark inadvertently set one up when they kill Sophia, as they were a Black Ward who was known for patrolling in Empire territory. Thus, when they turn up dead, the PRT blames the white supremacists. On top of this, the gun Danny uses while killing them had recently been taken from a member of the Empire; as a result, the forensic results pointed to them.
- I Woke Up As a Dungeon, Now What?: It turns out that a rebel movement supposedly aiming to kill Central's King is being run by the King himself, having been set up in such a way to convince two other factions that the other is behind it.
- Inheritance:
- In order to cover for Weaver's attacks on their Sucky School, Chrissie spreads rumors that members of Empire 88 have been bringing bags of bugs to school in order to give the Teeth a bad name.
- Eventually, the Empire actually does try to frame the Teeth when they massacre dozens of civilians in a place that the Teeth were about to attack, then anonymous call the PRT, claiming that the Teeth kidnapped Panacea.
- Lord Doom: Taylor is both the titular villain and the heroic Myriad. The latter debuts by chasing several of Lord Doom's forces away.
- One More Trigger: The Empire 88 fakes an attack by Oni Lee, to scare Parian into accepting their protection. However, the Samaritans actually manage to capture Oni Lee and question him, allowing them to discover the ruse.
