Wew....

We won't involve politics here because, like Kringles said, it's too complex and going through its details is definitely exhausting. (That would surely put me in a mental hospital :D)

@Zeph: I completely agree with you about the rogues' self-destructive behavior. It's illogical to take on powerful factions at the same time but they act that way because of the imprisonment of the good guys and Zirnitra's self-destruct features that can be activated by the three generals from different branches. The kidnapping of Cyz is the first insurance to reinforce the rogues' safety by preventing her father from keying in 1/3 of the self-destruct sequence. They'll do whatever they like for as long as the father haven't decided to sacrifice his daughter.

Fen is the secondary insurance of the rogues in case the good guys disregards the lives of the soldiers ( "Are they also willing to kill an innocent civilian for the greater good?" ) and BOB's plan to do that will be broadcasted in Vale by the bad guys. I discarded the idea of kidnapping may rich people and opted for the kidnapping of Cyz and Fen. I think Fen will play a bigger role than you think. Not only because she needs to be rescued, it's because she and Cyz will find out the real truth why is this happening.

The bad guys' reason for attacking the factions is to weaken (toning down from targets for elimination) them and, in turn, prevent the government from seeking help from nearby external forces. To the bad guys, this would speed up their establishment of power in Vale. To  the people indirectly(?) controlling the bad guys, t his is just a lame excuse to achieve something bigger. Nope, there is nothing complicated about the goal.

The siblings will be the representatives of the good BOB and the ones responsible for hiring Flagg and officially dragging the Pilgrims to this mess. The Cardamoms will be dragged too but, for now, I can only think they'll help in defending Flagg from occasional attacks of the bad guys including Brunhilde herself.

The siblings will also ask the VPD and the Pilgrims a favor to protect the good guys that were sent to the mall. "Collateral damage" will be unavoidable however.

To tell ya' the truth, whatever will happen in the sequel might play out like a chessboard.

The tentative bottomline: Rescue the good guys before the generals decide to blow up Zirnitra to quickly end the chaos.

P.S.: I deeply apologize for my inconsistent writing. I just recently experinced the bad effects of not sleeping for a whole freakin' day.
