Classroom horror at Emenbee Elementary and Junior High School
Written: March 14, 2000

A Canadian-American-Minecraftian student slit his teacher’s throat in an act of revenge after his Nintendo Game Boy was confiscated. The student, named only as Jack Fuchs in local news reports, had been discovered playing with his Game Boy by his teacher Hikari Uchida during recess at Emenbee Elementary and Junior High School in Kozankyo.

The following day Fuchs went to Uchida’s classroom where the teacher was sat marking papers and slit her throat from behind. The 37-year-old mother-of-one died at the scene as the student fled. Today, Fuchs' father, Frederic Fuchs, who runs as the headmaster of the hacktivist group Team Crimson, congratulated his son for the crime before turning himself in to police in Kozankyo.

Uchida had worked as an elementary school teacher at Emenbee for ten years before her brutal murder, school officials told El TV Kadsre. She had taken the student’s Game Boy after the 11-year-old boy had used it during recess, but it had been returned at the end of the day. Despite this, Fuchs attacked Uchida as she was preparing lessons in her classroom, just two days after the Minecraftia High School Prom – an annual formal dance where students confess their love to their love interests, which Uchida's 15-year-old nephew took her daughter to. Officials say a fellow teacher heard Uchida’s scream and called emergency serviced, but the 37-year-old was dead before an ambulance arrived.

Three Kozankyo Teenagers Arrested, Accused of Trying to Join Team Crimson
Written: March 19, 2003

The threat of Team Crimson is hitting Minecraftia's big home once again, with three Kozankyo teenagers charged with attempting to join the terrorist group Team Crimson and threatened to assassinate Lord Soujirou. Federal officials said they never got to do so, and the even planned to attack Kozankyo, and how the FBI managed to track them down.

FBI agents tracked the movement of these three teenagers for months, as they posted videos on VidSpace, pledging their allegiance for Team Crimson. Today, Emenbee Elementary and Junior High School managed to close in on 13-year-old Susumu Takajima, who got suspended from the school for three days after his homeroom teacher received an email from him claiming that "Team Crimson is coming." He, alongside 15-year-old Ken'ichi Hoshikawa at Mineplex All-Boys High School and 14-year-old Sei'ichi Kagemoto from Emenbee as well, are to appear in court tomorrow.

Prosecutors said they plotted to lay seige at the Minecraftia High School Prom a couple weeks ago, but couldn't after the FBI saw Kagemoto's plot on a VidSpace video. Hoshikawa even booked a flight to fly to Canada and go to St. Johns to join Team Crimson there. All three had profiles on VidSpace. The main perpetrator, Susumu Takajima, financed the travel. All three teens were charged with providing material support to a terrorist organization.

"Looks like they are new dangers in terrorism since 9/11," says Minecraftia's Prime Minister. Last year, the FBI received complaints about plots to kill Lord Soujirou, stating if Team Crimson was ordered, they would do so. They also stated if they never got to do so, they would go ablaze in Kozankyo. Hoshikawa even planned to plant a bomb at the Scarlet Devil Mansion on Scarlet Devil Island in New Saitama, and even attempt to knock out the entire law enforcement.

Law enforcement said they have all pleaded guilty to these charges, with dangerous intentions and even admitting to doing this. Their defense attorney at their trial tomorrow were questioned about their statements.

Susumu Takajima, Who Was Arrested of Trying to Join Team Crimson, Avoids Jail
Written: March 21, 2003

Susumu Takajima, who was charged with trying to enlist with Team Crimson, will NOT be going to juvenile detention after he pleaded guilty and decided to cooperate with law enforcement as part of his plea. His charges were not added to his criminal record, but he was still given the right to travel to other countries. His guilty plea also gave him some risks, with him facing four years of probation as well as 90 hours of community service.

Brutal Team Crimson Propaganda Video Borrows Techniques from Hollywood
Written: May 23, 2004

SPASDOT has released a video showing their power. What they did to Rural Central Minecraftia is now real-life terrorism. This is not a Hollywood movie, but was designed to look like one. The video shows horrific killing sprees in the Central Minecraftia region, mostly in rural areas in the provinces of Toko, Serento, Kudasaki, and Emerarshima, deliberately caught on camera, bombing and executions, as well as kidnappings and worse. A far cry away from the shaky, grainy terrorist videos we are used to seeing, this production features glossy camera work and high-level production techniques.

SPASDOT was taking cues from Hollywood flicks such as Saving Private Ryan, and The Terminator to maximize their terror. This hour-long graphic and disturbing video was produced by the Shintoist Province and Scarlet Devil of Team Crimson. The group is now so brutal, even Aum Shinrikyo has disowned them. The video shows that SPASDOT is becoming an even deadlier threat, waging an extremely effective propaganda war.

"There's many Crimsonites behind it. Those idiots are controlling and providing their allies with equipment that's very expensive and you can't get in a cave," says Kisumi Torisawa, a terrorism expert. One frightening sequence shows Crimsonites disguised as members of the Minecraftian Royal Air Force setting up fake checkpoints. One man, who was accused of working with Minecraftia's security forces, is hailed off and shot to death. In another scene, a man is hunted down. After being shot, he pleads for his life, with him saying, "I'm just a driver!" What apparently appears to the man in a royal uniform is shown, then sheer fatality occurs, as a stream of danmaku is thrown into his back.

That's not even the worst of it. A father of two sons were forced to dig their own graves after they were accused of working with Minecraftia's American allies. "What happened to these people who lose their humanity? Their propaganda is the sole tool to defeat them," says Torisawa. Experts say to judge by this video, their reign of terror shows no signs of debating, which is exactly what SPASDOT wants, even at the risk of their tactical backfiring.

Team Crimson Recruits Western Youth with English-language Video
Written: June 22, 2004

Team Crimson has released a new recruit video, which looks professionally shot and edited in English. Its sole intent is to appeal to Americans and other western Crimsonites. It features a 20-year-old Canadian medical student who traveled to Minecraftia to join the fray. "We convince you to maintain martyrdom and the pleasure of your lord. Look at our own perspective and we ask you how you want to die," says the Canadian Crimsonite in the video. Analysts are fearing that strategies like this are working.

"It's very significant that SPASDOT is using English to have ambitions to attack Western countries. These videos certainly attract young people who find violence exciting," says Kisumi Ochiai, who is a terrorism expert closely associated with the Minecraftian Ministry of Culture. Last Friday, a 22-year-old from San Francisco, California, became the first American Crimsonite to be killed in Minecraftia. SPASDOT released clips of his attacks, declaring the feat of victory for them.

US officials say that dozens of American citizens of Japanese or Minecraftian descent are already now in Minecraftia. They are now worried that they could plot attacks there if they return. To that end, VidSpace has become a frontline in the propaganda war that SPASDOT is waging. Many fighters who claim to be American or Canadian constantly publish updates, encouraging like-minded people to join them in Minecraftia. More often or not, a steady stream of clips are posted. One video is apparently a slideshow of Crimsonites around the world standing in solidarity. The group is so brutal, even Aum Shinrikyo has disowned them.

Experts are suggesting that even if the propaganda war is making waves, SPASDOT should be really seen for what they stand for.

How are Americans Supporting Team Crimson on Social Media?
Written: October 3, 2004

These pictures Crimsonites are posting are not difficult to analyze. One Crimsonite, whose DeviantArt profile claims that he is from Chicago, posted a picture of him wearing the SPASDOT insignia on a T-shirt. He also posted a map showing Flandre Scarlet conquering the entire Ring of Fire. "The posts on social media show certain levels of support for Team Crimson in the United States," says Kisumi Torisawa, a terrorism expert who also runs the website Crimsonology.net.

There are now dozens of Americans who openly support SPASDOT on social media were recently profiled by El TV Kadsre. No names were revealed. A college student in Austin, Texas has a web page filled with SPASDOT banners, propaganda videos, and portraits of SPASDOT leader Frederic Sam Fawkes. He also posted a picture of the SPASDOT logo next to a copy of Touhou 6: The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil and an American flag. An FBI spokesperson tells The Daily Minecraftia that the Bureau is aware of this case and is looking into it. Then there's another supporter, who displayed the SPASDOT logo on a phone, just feet from the White House. The caption of that photo reads, "Here we are, America, near our target!"

"It's done to kind of play on that SPASDOT is everywhere across North America and Eastern Asia. They can reach their enemies in those territories," says Torisawa. Torisawa points out that many of those people could be supporters. "That doesn't mean that one is posting is going to launch an attack. These people who follow are often called fanboys and fangirls." There are serious social media connections. The most popular VidSpace channel for foreign Crimsonites is one run by a shrine maiden in Carson City, Nevada. The 17-year-old known for giving sermons, and UCLA reports that she is not a SPASDOT supporter and does not encourage her followers to pursue it. We could not reach her for comment.

Teenage Girls of Minecraftian Descent Leave Their Home Countries to Marry and Live With Crimsonites
Written: October 7, 2004

Team Crimson is actively recruiting people from all over the world as a surprising number of female individuals and some of those are as young as 14 years of age. Officials say that over fifty teenage girls of Minecraftian descent from Japan, Canada, and the United States are now with Team Crimson. Their families do not know if they are leaving their countries to fight or worse, to marry. They have left their loved ones shocked.

One mother in Canada is now very angry with her daughter, who had left the country a month ago to join Team Crimson. This individual from the Little Minecraftia community in Vancouver is 15 years old. Right after she disappeared, there has been an increasing fear that she is one of the growing number of teenage girls in North America making the journey to Minecraftia and join Crimsonites. Her parents were put in shock when her parents saw a picture of her all dressed up in a wedding gown, getting ready to marry a male Crimsonite.

One activist says that Team Crimson's brutal propaganda videos are luring young girls into radical extremism. These girls are becoming brides of male Crimsonites to take part in SPASDOT activities and experiencing teenage pregnancies to produce Crimsonite children. Over the summer, one girl in El Kadsre was stopped by the Ministry of Culture when she tried to flee the country to Minecraftia and join the group. Two other El Kadsreian girls did manage to make the trip, and one of them ended up dead.

Dozens of School Buses crash after Snow Day "Cirnosis"
Written: November 18, 2004

Things were pretty normal for Kozankyo Schools yesterday but behind the scenes, the district is now apologizing for a huge mistake to operate schools that day, after blizzard warnings for the area dropped more than 60 centimeters of snow right around noon, calling it a "Cirnosis", in allusion to a character from the extremely popular arcade game series Touhou Project.

The forecast expected 7 centimeters of snow, but a strong cold front was busy thwarting other provinces and their cities with 15 - 40 centimeters, causing dangerous road conditions and even whiteouts. The blizzard had caused numerous bus accidents after students were forced to go home on icy roads covered in thick sheets of snow, causing drivers to get stuck and activate snow-clearing spell cards.

"I grew up in Kozankyo after moving from El Kadsre, and I attended school here from kindergarten until I graduated from Minecraftia High School. I've survived walking to school in more than 15 cm of snow, and I'm always like the first one there," says Ryan Tenmetsu, headmaster of Minecraftia High School.

Six Minecraftian-Americans Arrested For Allegedly Attempting to Join Team Crimson
Written: April 21, 2005

Yesterday, six Minecraftian-Americans who live in Atlanta, Georgia were charged with attempting to leave the US and enlist with Team Crimson in Minecraftia. The six men which prosecutors say all of whom are friends are to appear in court today in Atlanta and Detroit and were charged with attempting to leave the United States and fly to Minecraftia to join Crimsonites. They were largely influenced by a neighborhood friend Joey Belmont and the video game CounterStrike, with him successfully making it to the battlefield in Minecraftia over two years ago.

"These are men who have an intent of joining a terrorist organization who's out committing atrocities in Eastern Asia and North America," says Queen Konata. Court papers said last year, four of the Crimsonites took a bus from Atlanta to JFK International Airport in New York City where they were stopped by the FBI from attempting to board a plane to Kozankyo. Another Crimsonite flew to Detroit, Michigan where he intended to fly to Kozankyo. Last week, two Crimsonites drove from Atlanta to Detroit on Interstate 75 northbound. They planned on crossing into Canada obtaining false passports and then proceeding to Toronto Pearson International Airport in Toronto, Ontario and then going on to Kozankyo.

"We have to be smart bro, we can't make dumb decisions like the other Crimsonites do," says one of the Crimsonites. Since 1997, US law enforcement has been concerned about the radicalization of Atlanta's large Minecraftian community, and over forty Crimsonites left the area to join Team Crimson. One of the suspects pleaded guilty to the case, but two other claim they're innocent. So far this year, over twenty Crimsonites have been arrested in the US, Canada, Minecraftia, and Japan.

Minecraftia High School website hacked, claims "Junji Ebina is still alive"
Written: April 30, 2005

It was a mystery that perplexed Minecraftia since 2003, with them stating "where is Junji Ebina?" Yesterday for almost half a day, it appeared that Minecraftia High School noticed this story on their blog, and found out this was fake. It was actually the work of hackers from a group calling themselves Team Crimson who broke inside Minecraftia High School's computer system. Asides from posting the fake story, Team Crimson made some of Minecraftia High School's private content available to the public.

Many students and staff of the school are asking Team Crimson why they would do this, and it was actually retaliation as the group did not actually like a short film series called The Drillimation Series by a group of students at the school, that features anime-like characters performing comedic stunts. Right after watching these shorts, members of the group told Susumu "Driller" Takajima, the creator of the series, that he had stolen one of Hearthcliffe's Horcruxes and making derivative works based on it. Hearthcliffe even threatened to sue the school over Driller's activities as far back as October 2004.

Queen Konata Becomes Pregnant: What to Expect
Written: July 26, 2005

Local doctors at the Minecraftia Health Network have made an exciting announcement that Queen Konata was going to be having a baby in February or March of next year. According to nationwide reactions, Minecraftians were becoming excited about this, and kids are probably sending letters to the monarch determining what the baby will be.

Hearthcliffe Defeated: Minecraftia High School Wins First Battle of Minecraftia
Written: August 1, 2005

Minecraftia High School students Susumu "Driller" Takajima and Kagami Ochiai were honored by King Susumu and Queen Konata as they defeated Hearthcliffe at Minecraftia University over the weekend. The battle, which had been ongoing since May of this year, had been really brutal for Minecraftia High School students. "I helped Driller defeat Hearthcliffe, and it was a tough job", says Shira Katsumoto, who is a second-year student at the school.

Unmasking the New "Crimsonite Chris" in Team Crimson Propaganda Video
Written: January 5, 2006

Sources have revealed the identity of the so-called "Crimsonite Chris" to speak for Team Crimson. This English-speaking militant threatens attacks against Canada in their newest propaganda video that appears to show him killing five people. This Crimsonite is described in Canadian news reports as a "former bounty hunter."

There hasn't been any official confirmation, but the sources have provided his name, that being "Fujio Sachisawa." Sachisawa was born in Japan in 1978 and grew up in Toronto. He had behavioral issues in school, often acting violently towards other students and teachers. One teacher told CBC that when he was in sixth grade, he was put into anger management therapy. He eventually joined Team Crimson shortly after graduating from high school.

In 2004, he was arrested, charged with encouraging terrorism, but was released after pleading guilty and deciding to cooperate with law enforcement. After his release, he immediately made his way into Minecraftia, where he eventually met and married his future wife, before his bride joined Team Crimson, with Sachisawa writing on Facebook, "What a crappy security system Canada must have to allow me to breeze through the country and to the Shintoist Province."

Later, he posted more photos, with one of them being him holding a sniper rifle and his first child. In the latest propaganda video, he is seen masked and taunts the Canadian government. Sachisawa's sister, Tomoka Sachisawa, can't be sure if the masked man is him. "I think I'm not entirely convinced if it's him, but my honest opinion that it might not," says Tomoka. Many of his childhood friends and other people in Toronto who knew Sachisawa says it could be him.

He is now one of hundreds of Canadian, American, and Japanese citizens now in Minecraftia, including a four-year-old boy who appears at the end of the video.

Mineplex All-Boys High School Pep Rally Turns "Vulgar and Embarrassing," Leaving Kozankyo on Alert
Written: March 19, 2006

Central Kozankyo was thrown into pandemonium yesterday what all began as a celebration to send the Mineplex Hockey Team to a provincial championship game, where they were headed to Minecraftia University for practice. After the rally, the students were supposed to return to class but ended up igniting a riot which Mineplex President Daisuke Kameda is now calling "embarrassing and appalling."

Kozankyo Police was scattered all around downtown Kozankyo when the students ran through the streets, shouting "Flandre wa saikou," blocking traffic in the streets, and even at another point, broke inside Minecraftia High School shouting profanity in the hallways. Two of the students attempted to lunge at police officers, shouting the same thing before they were shot. One of the students was injured with a minor head wound. The entire city was put on lockdown as a result for two hours.

Both of them are now in custody, with the government officially announcing it as "terrorism" and opening a terror investigation. Both of the suspects are charged with providing material support to Team Crimson and aggravated assault. In a letter by Kameda sent to parents, he stated that "this was the worst day in the history of Mineplex," and wrote "our students used this to display some of the most violent, disgusting behaviors and acts of disrespect" that he had ever known.

Kameda's punishments range from expulsion to prison sentences, with Queen Konata now responding on Facebook "Two new radical Crimsonite extremists have just attacked Kozankyo from Mineplex All Boys High School. Workers were locked down, Kozankyo on edge again. Get smart Mineplex!"

Hearthcliffe Returns: Now More Active
Written: July 17, 2006

In a brief outcry at the Minecraftia Square, Susumu "Driller" Takajima has confirmed that Takumi Hearthcliffe has returned to Minecraftia and is now much more active. "I thought we defeated him, and it was a great regret over his destructiveness, and now, he is back and among us again," says Kumiko Uchida, daughter of the late Hikari Uchida. Local officials have arrested a fourth-year student at Minecraftia High School named Joey Belmont accused of using Driller's blood to revive Hearthcliffe after seeing Driller and Kagami Ochiai outside the Minecraftia Opera House from an evening performance of The Flight of the Bamboo Cutter.

The Monarch of Minecraftia is currently publishing guides for homeowners to protect their homes from Heartchliffe, as King Susumu heard the truth of these rumors of Hearthcliffe returning. Details that led to the event was that Belmont found Hearthcliffe's body in a burst ofuda by Kumiko Uchida and put his heavy body inside a cauldron to prepare the revival. Ryan Tenmetsu, the headmaster of Minecraftia High School, believed that Hearthcliffe and his followers (known as Crimsonites) had gained access to the Lucky Star Kingdom itself Friday evening, trying to find Queen Konata's Lighting Scepter before being chased out by the guards of the castle. Meanwhile, King Susumu is insisting that Susumu Takajima and Kagami Ochiai set out to form an army similar to Team Crimson and crush Hearthcliffe.

Tragedy on Sanyou Expressway
Written: December 30, 2006

A 14-year-old girl was hospitalized after she was seriously hurt from an attack by a Crimsonite after a battle broke out on the Sanyou Expressway in Japan's Hiroshima Prefecture. The victim, who goes by the name of Yumi Ochiai, had twisted her ankle after being hit by a Crimsonite's Stunning Spell while fighting side-by-side with Susumu Takajima, one of Minecraftia's famous drillers. The girl went flying off of her cousin's truck and collapsed in the middle of the expressway itself.

The battle began after a fellow Crimsonite lashed a Cruciatus Curse at Ochiai, but Driller nullified the attack and instead launched a Disarming Charm on the victim, removing their weapon with the weapon being destroyed by another car. In an act of revenge, the caster launched the spell, leading up to the traumatic events that occurred. "She was seriously hurt, I saw her bleeding on her right knee," says Susumu Takajima.

Takajima asked both cars to pull over and examine Ochiai. Yumi's older sister, Kagami Ochiai, was so horrified over this that it warranted a call to both paramedics and the police. When they arrived at the scene, police were able to track down the Crimsonite's car. The Crimsonite who initiated the attack is now arrested, charged with first-degree assault and attempted murder.

Stalker Forum Ender Farms Busted Over Biggest Crackdown On Phishing and Cyberbullying
Written: January 24, 2007

At a large mansion in Dockery Bay in Kyoushin Province, a series of vintage artifacts worth millions were seized with the man living there arrested after he sealed himself inside a safe room and found right next to a revolver. His name is Junzou Tsukimoto, and Minecraftian officials believed he is one of the top phishing and cyberbullying pirates on the internet. Minecraftian police said that he was listed on warrants relating to phishing and cyberbullying offenses based on racketeering.

Minecraftian officials said that he, along with two other people, ran the popular forum under the name of Ender Farms, a place where users make fun of celebrities and other users. It was also a place where its users trolled other internet users when writing legal complaints by grabbing their personal information. Another reason for controversy was that the main topic was often associated with dark humor, with its context being very profane in nature.

Officials from Kozankyo said that Susumu "Driller" Takajima and Kagami Ochiai, two of Minecraftia's famous drillers, were also victims of the site. This all happened when Ender Farms user "MissionBinary" posted a fake story of Driller contracting cancer and Kagami being assassinated by Hearthcliffe. "MissionBinary and Tsukimoto could likely be Crimsonites or followers of Hearthcliffe," says Ryan Tenmetsu, headmaster of Minecraftia High School.

Minecraftian officials realized that Ender Farms was not aware of both issues, but its users helped to turn the world into chaos. Due to its dark content, the site was regularly blacklisted in schools and various countries. As of today, Minecraftian and US officials have now shut down Ender Farms' website. But when this happened, hacktivists from Team Crimson temporarily shut down NCMEC's and SPCA's websites respectively.

Driller Saves the Minecraftia High School Prom Night From Hearthcliffe
Written: March 11, 2007

The Prom night at Minecraftia High School was saved by Susumu Takajima after it almost turned into a nightmare for him. The Minecraftia High School Prom is an annual formal dance held every year where students confess their love to their love interests, and Driller had taken Kagami Ochiai to prom for two years in a row. The dance is also the place for alumni of the school to have engagements and weddings take place. This time, he took a girl named Reika Enami, who has developed a crush on him.

The event almost ended in disaster after Driller had to save Ochiai from Hearthcliffe, who tried to marry her in a secret shrine called the Altar of Hidden Evil, which is hidden inside Mineplex All Boys High School. The shrine was previously opened by Hearthcliffe's father when he was his age in the 1970s and used it to marry his wife, Hanayo Katsuragi, who later died after Hearthcliffe was born in 1988. To carry the operation out, Hearthcliffe used Polyjuice Potion to steal the physical appearance of Driller. Using an apparition spell, he and Kagami warped to Mineplex All Boys High School to begin the wedding.

During the wedding, Driller came in and told Kagami that the other Driller (who was Hearthcliffe) was a fake. Using some milk, the Polyjuice effects wore off and it was revealed to be Hearthcliffe. With Hearthcliffe angry, he unleashed the mechanical basilisk that guards the shrine and molests on every student who goes inside. Driller knew had to defeat the basilisk to save Kagami. With the timely arrival of Yumi Ochiai, Kagami's younger sister, she gave Driller Honoka Akimoto's lightsaber to fight the basilisk. After crushing it by ramming the lightsaber up its roof, Driller used one of its teeth to destroy the ring horcrux owned by Hearthcliffe.

Hearthcliffe's Crimsonites Now Throwing Hissy Fits Over Destruction of His Class Ring
Written: March 13, 2007

Local residents of Kozankyo are now concerned after one of Hearthcliffe's Horcruxes were destroyed by Susumu "Driller" Takajima at a hidden shrine at Mineplex All Boys High School. Hearthcliffe's followers, called Crimsonites, are lashing messages at Driller and his friends stating he stole and destroyed one of Hearthcliffe's Horcruxes, being the sprite and now the ring.

Driller had gotten ahold of the ring when rescuing Kagami Ochiai at the altar on the Minecraftia High School Prom. He battled the shrine's basilisk to get ahold of one of its fangs and destroy the Horcrux. With the Horcrux destroyed, there's only one more Horcrux Driller must destroy to defeat Hearthcliffe. "I couldn't believe Driller would do this dangerous battle to rescue my daughter, and it was pretty epic," says Kisumi Ochiai, Kagami's mother.

The government is beginning to publish guides for defense against Team Crimson's messages, and if they come into one's inbox, they are advised to report it and/or delete it. "I wasn't expecting Crimsonites to do this, and when I saw others getting this, that's when they found out he destroyed the Horcrux. Danmaku wars are likely going to uproar over this," says Megumi Wasai, member of the UGSF.

Team Crimson Destroys Spring in a Massive "Bombogenesis" of Snow
Written: March 14, 2007

Team Crimson has launched an all-out attack in an act of revenge after one of Hearthcliffe's Horcruxes was destroyed last weekend at the Minecraftia High School Prom, an annual formal dance where students confess their love to their love interests. The Horcrux, being the class ring, contains a hidden spell card that unleashes an extreme weather current when it is destroyed, and now almost all of Eastern Minecraftia is covered in more than 300 cm of snow, causing schools to cancel classes and/or have delays.

"I knew this would happen, spring and summer are the greatest seasons, and a Perfect Cherry Blossom is likely going to happen," says Kagami Ochiai, a student of Minecraftia High School. Many drillers of Minecraftia High School are now complaining that it might last forever or until Driller takes action over this. Until someone counterattacks to remove the spell, residents will have to return to winter customs for the duration of this.

Not only has the storm affected Kozankyo, adjacent provinces across Eastern Minecraftia were also affected, including the Lucky Lagoon City of Gatajima, and a couple of cities in New Saitama. Team Crimson's antics also captured ten lives across three provinces. The storm had dropped that entire 300 cm in less than an hour, with wind gusts reaching from 65 to 80 kilometers an hour. The storm also triggered tsunami warnings with waves reaching up to two meters in length.

The attack is also reminiscent of the 1993 arcade game Touhou 7: Perfect Cherry Blossom which featured a similar situation in which spring never rises. If a real-life Saigyou Ayakashi would appear, then this would have been the cause of this powerful blizzard. The situation is currently being investigated by the National Weather Service of Minecraftia, and any hackers suspected are likely to face criminal charges.

Hearthcliffe and other Elite Hackers from Team Crimson Busted
Written: April 3, 2007

The Minecraftia Police has initiated a major takedown on the war against computer crime, and authorities across four countries have captured at least seven hackers from the United States, Canada, Minecraftia, and Japan in a recent string of high-profile cyber attacks that they have carried out. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is now worried that trying to take them down will only spawn more.

They have breached government websites, financial services, and entertainment conglomerates. The perpetrator, being Jack Fuchs, was revealed to be Hearthcliffe, who was the serial killer in the Emenbee Teacher Murder in 2000. Six other hackers were involved in Team Crimson, which is associated with the hacktivist group Anonymous. Hearthcliffe, who is also a hacker, was reported during his senior year at Mineplex All Boys High School in Kozankyo stating that he quit attending class entirely with the exception of one course. He allegedly hacked into teachers' accounts by installing keyloggers on their classroom computers, capturing keystrokes every time they logged into the system. The staff at the school also reported he changed his grades into straight A's. After graduating, it felt like he made more than $70,000 from a scholarship.

When he went to start his college degree at Minecraftia University, everything spilled out there. He lost his diploma, got kicked out of Minecraftia University, and was arrested by the Minecraftia Police Department. He was charged with hacking, murder, and other crimes. He and his accomplices were also arrested, with their attacks hitting more than five million victims.

"I couldn't believe the FBI and the SPCA were able to identify the perpetrators, and trying to get them is extremely difficult," says King Susumu, monarch of Minecraftia. One of those hackers, who goes by the name of Joey Belmont, known as "Mint Cookie" on social media, pleaded guilty for reviving Hearthcliffe last year. The SPCA also realized that Belmont and a few others were behind some notorious attacks, launching distributed denial of service attacks on Nihon Ad Systems, Toei Animation, and 20th Century Fox as retaliation for taking down swaths of doujin content on YouTube and other websites.

Viacom's website was also hacked after the Viacom v. YouTube case after they did the same thing with NAS and TCF. There, they posted a fake story stating that Deng Xiaoping was still alive and well in mainland China. Xiaoping died of Parkinson's in the late 1990s. They even disabled access to the Lucky Star Kingdom's website, and Queen Konata also reported Team Crimson hacking into email accounts and stealing information about a recent conference call between the kingdom itself and Minecraftia High School. The suspect even recorded that call and shared it on 4chan as well as other imageboards.

"There's a lot of bragging tweets about this, and every time we defeat a hacker, they grow two back," says Susumu Takajima of Minecraftia High School. The arrests of them will cause a debacle for the group, with some claiming this to be a non-sequitur of their movement. Takajima believes that the retaliation for this takedown will probably result in Anonymous to launch more operations and tell governments and corporations that their security isn't that resistible.

Team Crimson Makes it Snow in Kozankyo Again: Save us, Driller!
Written: April 8, 2007

For those Minecraftians who are sick and tired of Team Crimson and possibly winter weather, Team Crimson has made it snow in Eastern Minecraftia again for the retaliation of the arrest of Hearthcliffe and six other hackers involved in a series of attacks on computer systems across the globe.

Kozankyo is currently recovering from the snowstorm that occurred yesterday, which dropped more than 10 centimeters of snow. Many drillers are currently interviewing dozens of Crimsonites about the attack, and they said this was a violation of free speech.

For those Crimsonites watching this operation, they also said that Lucky Lagoon City is the next city to be hit by the storm, and Team Crimson is planning to hit more cities with the storm, and local authorities will be monitoring this all weekend.

Sentencing begins for Team Crimson Hackers Involved in Cyber Attacks
Written: April 10, 2007

For more than seven years, a group of computer hackers who go by the name of Team Crimson has been breaching the websites of governments and businesses across the globe. Last week, authorities across four countries have arrested seven hackers involved. The main perpetrator has been due for sentencing, and this will likely strike the core of the international hacker network Anonymous and one of its offshoots Team Crimson. For the FBI and SPCA, they're saying it's a bit of revenge.

One of the suspects, captured in Hiroshima, Japan, is accused of attacking a girl on the Sanyou Expressway and hacking into a conference call between the Lucky Star Kingdom and Minecraftia High School on cyber gangs. The suspect, who goes by the alias of "Gunmetal Mario", taunted both organizations by posting the call on the internet. Now he and five other hackers, including the perpetrator Hearthcliffe, have been arrested. Hearthcliffe, who tweets under his alias, is accused of murdering an elementary school teacher when he was younger and hacking into his high school's computer network to raise his grades.

Hearthcliffe was arrested last week and after Minecraftia Police obtained search warrants from his home computer, his evidence led to the arrests of the other six, who are now charged with a series of attacks on government and corporate systems. Team Crimson was accused of hacking the websites of Viacom, the Lucky Star Kingdom, and Bandai Namco Entertainment, often leaving behind a racist victory message. Toei Animation, Nihon Ad Systems, and 20th Century Fox were also hit by disruptive attacks.

One hacker who goes by the alias of "Sassy Otaku", personally profited in the cybercrime wave. She was accused of hacking the website of Minecraftia High School and posting a fake story of a student being still alive and stole information from 900 students.

The FBI hasn't declared victory over Team Crimson yet, but the main perpetrator, Hearthcliffe, is now spending his first night on death row after it took three hours to have him found guilty of all the crimes he has committed from the past seven years.

Hearthcliffe Has a Profanity Tirade During His Trial
Written: April 11, 2007

Jack Fuchs, who calls himself "Hearthcliffe", said he wanted to go far beyond his powers and talk far in policy. He explained it all at his trial on Monday addressing Team Crimson. His ideas weren't successful when police explained his unsuccessful murders against students at Minecraftia High School. This possible serial killer was cursing repeatedly over his antics and on topics against security.

One family in Kozankyo, particularly the Katsumoto family and this father of four, wants to raise their security to defend the house full of maid daughters and a master. Hearthcliffe responded with "You're not gonna heavily arm your (insert word here) house! You understand me?" What to do with Susumu Takajima? Simple he says, just stab him 25 times like Sakuya Izayoi. This fellow Driller is hugely important to the Minecraftian society. Upon encountering him, he'll just say "Listen you mother (insert word here), I'm gonna stab you 25 times!"

He also plotted attempts to destroy heavily populated cities in Minecraftia. This ended up drawing mass attention nationwide. Cities he planned to plot terrorist attacks on included Kozankyo, Coronary Falls of New Saitama Province, Dockery Bay of Kyoushin Province, and Kinmyou of Pohatosin Province. "Here in Minecraftia and other Oriental countries, we can just blow up whatever the (insert word here) we see, those weapons are cheap as (insert word here) and we don't give a (insert word here)," says Fuchs.

The Minecraftia Courthouse also received some documents from the Lucky Star Kingdom in North and South Horudika about a planned assassination of Queen Konata. Another law enforcement society in the Lucky Lagoon City of Gatashima Province suggests he plotted to assassinate her there if Team Crimson hackers did not get the chance to kill her there. Queen Konata even questions if she's serious about getting assassinated. The kingdom continues to do well to protect their monarch and Crown Prince Tetsuo from Team Crimson hackers.

Former Crimsonite Begins to Cooperate with the SPCA as Part of His Plea
Written: May 19, 2007

A former Team Crimson member was released from a prison in Vancouver, British Columbia and decided to start cooperating with the SPCA as part of his plea. The hacker was arrested last month as part of the Pacific Hacker Purge. Since his sentencing, he decided to start rebuilding his life to make other Minecraftians proud. In addition, he is also deciding to start cooperating with Minecraftia. His help is currently trying to hunt down other Crimsonites who might be trying to breach governments and corporations.

However, local Minecraftians across the country are afraid that he might social engineer his former Team Crimson buddies out of prison. However, local law enforcement agencies all across Minecraftia are currently elucidating this information that he's no longer screwing around anymore. Detectives are theorizing about the cybercrime waves that happened years prior. In a series of prophecies sent to Susumu Takajima, one of Minecraftia's most famous drillers, they say that if he defeats Hearthcliffe, Team Crimson will likely dissolve.

Crimsonites Set Vocational School on Fire; Adjacent Buildings Raided and Data Stolen
Written: May 26, 2007

A vocational school is now having Servpro repair the damage to a vocational school after Crimsonites had set it on fire and stole possessions from its adjacent facilities. The attack began at 4 am East Minecraftia Daylight Time, with the fire continuing for eight hours straight. In addition, other Crimsonites shut down the website for the school and left behind a message saying "All your base are belong to Team Crimson!"

So why are Minecraftians thinking why Team Crimson would do this? Because the school had perpetrated a vicious act of journalism by running an MEC documentary critical to Team Crimson and Hearthcliffe and raided the school to get back at them. In addition, they have also attacked and set other facilities on fire in the past, and many of these have been charged with arson. In fact, the Minecraftia Police Department is also using a new technology to find and capture Crimsonites. This technology would find a Crimsonite's home and set arrest warrants to capture them.

Hearthcliffe Escapes: Massive Breakout at Minecraftia Prison
Written: June 5, 2007

Local officials at the Minecraftia Prison have confirmed a massive breakout from Minecraftia Prison last night. According to theater director Kisumi Ochiai, Hearthcliffe and nine of his Crimsonites had escaped from the Minecraftia Prison yesterday evening. She also informed Minecraftia High School headmaster Ryan Tenmetsu, the monarch of Minecraftia, and some of her friends about the dangerous nature of these individuals.

"Looks like we found ourselves in the same position almost last year, when Joey Belmont brought Hearthcliffe back from the dead," says Susumu Takajima, a fourth-year student at Minecraftia High School. "We must also not forget that Fred Fuchs escaped a few times, and he was the first person ever to break out of Minecraftia Prison," says Miyuki Takajima, Susumu Takajima's mother. Others are saying that the Fuchs had social engineered his son and his fellow Crimsonites out of prison. The Minecraftia Police Department is doing their best to round up the criminals and ask our residents across the country to remain cautious and warn those to approach these individuals with extreme caution.

Team Crimson Takes Over Emenbee Elementary and Junior High School, Makes It Their New Hideout
Written: July 31, 2007

Local Crimsonites on 4chan and Twitter today announced that they have taken over a former elementary and junior high school and made it their new hideout. Their new home is based all over the campus with the exception of Emenbee All Girls High School. Any students currently attending the high school will need to be on the lookout for the rest of the school year. Any alumni and former students who attended the former school are now sadly disappointed.

A Ministry of Culture official emerged after they saw the former school riddled with graffiti displaying the Team Crimson insignia. Nobody was injured when the graffiti went up, but they refuse to give any information about what is inside the hideout, as they are afraid trying to go inside can result in death from Crimsonites. This statement will likely quash the rumors of turning all their dead victims into zombies, likely to start a zombie apocalypse. The monarch of Minecraftia is currently warning their residents to stay away from the former school or otherwise face the risk of being killed by a Crimsonite.

Mineplex All Boys High School Student Arrested For Plotting to Assassinate Headmaster, Police Confirm He is a Crimsonite
Written: October 6, 2007

A student of Mineplex All Boys High School is in some serious doo-doo after he plotted an attempt to assassinate the school's headmaster, Daisuke Kameda. This third-year student, who was put into custody after seeing the threats posted on Facebook, which said: "Ready to attack Kameda tomorrow." Kozankyo Police also learned that the 17-year-old boy was a Crimsonite after he was wearing a shirt displaying the Team Crimson insignia and having a tattoo on his back that displays the same symbol.

The Ministry of Education asked students of the school to stay home that day to avoid death from this dangerous individual. He was doing this specifically to attack Kameda after he was expelled last year. He had learned to fire a gun at a young age, which prompted him to join Team Crimson after seeing the news of Hikari Uchida's death in 2000. Upon other students seeing the post, they contacted police about this and the student was subdued. Like the other Crimsonites who were arrested in April following a purge, if he is found guilty, he could end up facing up to two years in federal prison.

Ministry of Culture Passes Law to Ban Bus Transportation for Students Living 3km From Their School During Winter Seasons
Written: October 19, 2007

Ministry of Culture officials yesterday made an announcement to enact a law that would ban bus transportation for students that live three or more kilometers from their school. This ban was enacted due to the concern of Crimsonites attacking buses while they are transporting students to and from school. Last year, the district began suffering a shortage of drivers that would drastically affect transportation for students currently attending schools in the Kozankyo School District.

In November 2004, Kozankyo suffered a large number of bus crashes after a blizzard struck the area. The blizzard dropped more than 100 cm of snow, causing horrible traffic conditions and leading drivers to get trapped inside. Many victims used their spell bombs to clear the snow ahead of them. There have also been reports of Crimsonites blowing tires on school buses to prevent students from getting to school and home respectively. The subsequent winters of 2005 and 2006 reduced the number of bus crashes during transportation.

Also during the winter seasons, Team Crimson's forces get stronger and the death rate from Crimsonites rise. Many cities across Minecraftia always post warnings to be on the lookout for Crimsonites during the winter seasons. But nonetheless, the Crimsonites only target those who want to try and defeat Hearthcliffe. Two of Minecraftia's most famous drillers, Susumu Takajima and Kagami Ochiai, have been frequent targets of these, but always fight back.

Team Crimson Defeated: The Real Driller Defeats Hearthcliffe for the Second Time in Three Years
Written: March 12, 2008

Reports from Minecraftia High School and University claim this to be true, as Takumi Hearthcliffe, otherwise known as Jack Fuchs, has been defeated once and for eternity, by Susumu "Driller" Takajima.

18-year-old Susumu Takajima and his girlfriend Kagami Ochiai have not been seen by Crimsonites since they disappeared in December 2007. A lot of Ochiai's family members have also not been seen by Team Crimson during that time as well, presumably accompanying Driller.

Yesterday morning, at 2:46 AM EMDT, Jack Fuchs as well as his father Fred Fuchs and his Crimsonite army attacked Minecraftia University, killing more than twenty students, staff, and ministry officials and injuring dozens more. Two of those caught in the attack were Kensuke and Toru Ochiai, two of Kagami's cousins. Both Takajima and Ochiai were awoken to a distress call from Ochiai's cousins as a result.

In Hearthcliffe's trial last year, Hideo Ochiai, Kagami's father, stated that both Takajima and Ochiai had built powerful spell cards to repel Crimsonites, which eventually led to Team Crimson's downfall. Asides from this, Takajima also learned some smart computer hacking skills to find information about the group and their records.

Team Crimson claimed responsibility for several high-profile attacks for over a decade, starting in 1997 with their raids on online games before Team Crimson evolved into a terrorist group in 2000 after the killing of Hikari Uchida by Hearthcliffe at the now-defunct Emenbee Elementary and Junior High School. Until their fall and defeat, they also killed other students and people all around the country.

From Minecraftia High School, eyewitnesses and spectators, as well as parents and siblings of students participating in the battle were praying for them to win. The two Ochiai cousins, Kensuke and Toru Ochiai, mentioned above went away uninjured. Several students of the soon-to-graduate fourth-year students jumped in the battle after launching on a surprise attack on the Crimsonites. With just enough effort, Takajima defeated both Jack and Fred Fuchs after destroying all of their horcruxes, an object that conceals part of a driller's soul in order to obtain immortality. During one final blow, Driller's Thunder Sign "Suspect Seekie" spell card caused Hearthcliffe's infamous Painless Death "Killing Curse" to backfire and hit him, ending his terror once and for all.

Three El Kadsreian Crimsonites Thrown in Prison After Planning to Join Team Crimson
Written: January 23, 2009

Three El Kadsreian citizens from Capulco are now behind bars, facing prison time after they allegedly plotted to join SPASDOT in order to "murder non-believers" overseas and in El Kadsre as well. It was a joint sting carried out by their Ministry of Culture and ended with them getting arrested at the El Kadsre City International Airport. This all began as a series of Facebook posts where a married couple and a sister of the man, looked to join SPASDOT overseas. If they never got to do it, they would do it right in El Kadsre.

This was an investigation that began in 2006, when SPASDOT was at their peak, when the Ministry of Culture came alert of the Facebook page of 23-year-old Ryuji Nakatora, whose page was public according to their attorney. His page contained propaganda of the group. In July of 2007, his sister Nene Nakatora revealed they wanted to travel to Minecraftia by flying there and quote, "kill Susumu Takajima with a gunshot wound in his head." That summer, Nakatora began communicating with his then-girlfriend Kotomi Hajikawa about their shared desire to become Crimsonites.

The couple became married the following year, and a MoC warrant showed how the couple enjoyed watching SPASDOT commit attacks, with Hajikawa stating, "that was funny, dude." In May of 2008, Nakatora's younger sister Nene, decided to join up with the newlywed couple, and by August of that year, the three were allegedly plotting to murder non-believers. If Nene stated that if she could not join SPASDOT overseas, the plan would be to use a vehicle to copy one of the methods that SPASDOT used during the 2002 attacks in Rockton, Daiyashin Province. That entire incident killed around seventy and injured more than 160. Hajikawa also stated, "I'm ready to meet Flandre Scarlet," with the following month having the three practicing the SPASDOT oath, and gathering funds for a flight to Minecraftia.

Yesterday, the three drove from Capulco to El Kadsre City International Airport, where they got arrested at the TSA checkpoint. They were thrown in prison briefly before they are expected to appear in court this Friday. They are charged with conspiring to provide material support to a terrorist organization, and if convicted they could see up to 20 years in prison.
