Long after the AIDA and Sakaki incidents, the players that were known as Epitaph Users began to go about a normal playstyle...even the Epitaph Knights would not again use their avatar. It was symbolic among them, that the avatars should never be used again unless absolutely neccessary...
...until 20 years later. During the AIDA crisis, a process began that slowly reincarnated the phase monsters. Due to Baina's passing into reality, though nobody would have dreamed the effects of this, legacy coding of the black box began to activate. Aura, having her legacy in R:1, was not considered a part of R:2's system. Though Aura performed the same tasks she did in R:1, the coding type caused a conflict that would result in the restart of the Morganna Protocol. Lacking the data of the original phases, the Morganna Protocol would create inversions of the phases left over from the leftover code that existed after the avatars were made.
20 years of work went into the recreation process and on one day, Skeith, the Terror of Death, would once again terrorize The World. The data collection process began anew and coma incidents as well as corrupted data files became a part of The World. The Epitaph Knights went to engage Skeith, but as soon as they were able to cause a Protect Break, Skeith using the power of their avatars was able to restore it's protection before any data drain could be used. It would then retreat and become nearly impossible to find again. Even the Epitaph Knights were ineffective against this new threat...though they could always run Skeith off for a few days, they could never finish the job before it would retreat. Yata would have problems tracking the thing...and when Haseo tried to use Avatar Skeith to fight the Skeith monster, the two would pass through each other like ghosts...The same would happen with the other avatars when Corbenik and Macha were used. For now, the Epitaph Knights would do their best to repulse Skeith whenever it appeared, but they were only human...from time to time Skeith would be able to put players into comas...the beginning of a new crisis behind the scenes.
The avatars meanwhile in communion with Aura had to come up with a new strategy. In time, it was determined that the Epitaph Users would not work...Skeith could merely use any avatar to redirect itself away from defeat. Further, the avatars were intimately bound to their Epitaph User, they would not or could not leave them. The Epitaph Users could not fight this fight and win it. The decision became clear...there would have to be a new generation...new players empowered with the strength of the original phases...and free of the avatars that would allow the new wave's immunity. They came to agreeance that the original Epitaph Users should not be privy to this information until the task was finished.
A process would begin as the phases would seek out those they could attune with...those who could bear to use thier power much like they did when they first attached themselves to their Epitaph User...Macha...having the closest bond to Endrance due to their relationship in R:1 on...would let Endrance in on the plan. Endrance would understand the plan, but he could not bear to do nothing...together they would come up with a plan that was only possible due to the absolute trust Macha and Endrance had.
...Skeith...The Terror of Death...
...Innis...The Mirage of Deceit...
...Magus...The Propogation...
...Fidchell...The Prophet...
...Gorre...The Machinator...
...Macha...The Temptress...
...Tarvos...The Avenger...
...Corbenik...The Rebirth...
These eight entities would once again select a generation of players to fight against a threat to the world that they existed in. They will lead their new player to the path of resistance against the Wave...
