 In 1995, the [[Honor Guard]]'s alien detector was malfunctioning after [[The Zonn]] had attacked them sometime earlier. This enabled the Enelsians to slip their agents and spies into various locations around the world, undetected by the heroes and the unsuspecting public.
-These spies where placed on reconnaissance missions, feeling out earths defensive capabilities. Their primary focus was on the super powered beings, especially the plethora that populated Astro City. That became the focal point and their most notable agent, [[Mr. Bridwell]], had the final say in determining when or even if an invasion was warranted.  He had a hesitation of sorts, perhaps driven by somewhat sympathetic feelings towards the Human race.

 He decided to use an evaluation of the hero, [[Crackerjack]],  as a final determinate for the fate of earth and all humankind. So he tracked an evening of Crackerjack's activities. This still left him feeling ambivalent.  On the one hand, he felt a strong degree of disgust for CJ's methods. Yet on the other hand, in some primitive ways, he also reminded him of the Enelsians themselves.

-The spies took stock of the super powered being and heroes and the ways of Earth. The most notable agent, [[Mr. Bridwell]] felt somewhat sympathetic towards the Human race and whether or not to transmit his report. He used the hero [[Crackerjack]] as a microcosm of humanity for his final test. Crackerjack reminded him a lot of the Enelsians themselves. Mr. Bridwell only sent his report after being irritated by a bunch of gossiping old ladies, when the females of the Enelsians are the warriors of the race.

 ===Hero Distrust===
-The next phase of their invasion plans, as more agents snuck onto the planet, was to try and discredit and ruin reputations of heroes. Outspoken heroes like [[Winged Victory]] or ones more on the downside of public opinion, made easy targets to get public sentiment against them. And it wasn't located to just Astro City. Vigilante heroes like [[Lonestar]] in Austin and The [[Colonial]] in Melbourne were being looked at harder for operating further outside the laws than most heroes.

 ===Shadow Hill Killings, Boiling Tensions & Hero Registration===
-Starting in June, there were a number of mutilated killings happening in and on the outskirts of [[Shadow Hill]]. Public interest didn't become too great until mid-July, when the body of 15 year old Sarah Lynn Felton, was discovered. The public outcry started demanding more attention of why the killer hadn't been caught.
+Starting in early summer, as temperatures began to rise, a number of bloody killings began in and around the  the area of [[Shadow Hill]]. Public interest was tepid until the mid-July time frame, when the body of 15 year old girl, Sarah Lynn Felton, was discovered. The outcry rose with the temperatures as the media and the public at large demanded resolution and capture of the killer.
-[[Mayor Stevenson]] eventually brought in the professional monster hunter [[Mordecai Chalk]] to help bring the killer in, where the costumed heroes had failed.
+Along with the now crippling summer heat, frustrations lead to paranoia, and that gave rise to concerns that maybe one of their trusted heroes was responsible for the brutal murders. To counter this, many of the heroes  shifted their focus more and more towards Shadow Hill. This led to increased criminal activity in the other areas, further angering the citizens of Astro City.
-The second part of Stevenson's plan, was setting up a hero registration, since they were dealing with some kind of superhuman killer and at first were only interested in registering the heroes with mystic powers. He brought in [[E.A.G.L.E.]] troops to aid with the task and to try and order compliance.
+[[Mayor Stevenson]], as a political gesture, hired an attention seeking, professional monster hunter, [[Mordecai Chalk]], to focus exclusively on capturing the killer. Next the mayor established a mandatory program of hero registration. Since they were dealing with some kind of superhuman killer, they began by  registering the heroes with mystic powers. He brought in [[E.A.G.L.E.]] troops to aid with the task of compliance.
 Naturally, the heroes and super powered beings resisted, which further put a wedge between all parties. Though the public was mostly behind the heroes, until the [[Honor Guard]] battled the [[Frigians]] and [[Thermians]] in Antarctica and the [[First Family]] had been in the [[Mirror Galaxy]] exploring. The outcry was mostly over why they were worrying about them when the Shadow Hill Killer was still roaming somewhere.
-Tensions boiled up so much that an angry mob was going to march upon Shadow Hill and burn it down, before various members of Honor Guard and the [[Irregulars]] appeared at barricades and turned the angry crowds back. The next day Mordecai Chalk finally entered into the Hill. After promising to find the killer swiftly, he'd disappeared for days with no sign.

The next day, Mordecai Chalk made a dramatic and media entralled entrance into Shadow Hill. After promising to find the killer swiftly, he disappeared.
 July 27 brought another fire stoking moment, when after the [[The Confessor (Jeremiah Parrish)|Confessor]] apprehended a villain, The [[Gunslinger]], the Shadow Hill residents, started putting fires in their doorways as one of their talismans. The massive amounts of smoke, even with no wind in the arid Summer heat, cast over the whole city, leading to the rest of the populace back to their thoughts of razing or even burying the area under rubble.

 ==Aftermath==
 Afterward the Enelsians full plan came to light and they faced a stiff punishment from the [[Galactic Council]]. The Enelsians started sneaking in agents when the Honor Guards alien detector was malfunctioning and more agents when Honor Guard was dealing with the Frigians and Thermians. It was also revealed that they didn't want to kill heroes, when it would risk discovery and more importantly they wanted the heroes alive. The Enelsians wanted the heroes to be slaves, so they could face down the Galactic Council. They sneaked more troops in when they had Honor Guard's Headquarters cordoned off and wanted to be able to get the worlds civilian population hostage, which would force the heroes into a surrender. <br>
 The real Mayor Stevenson upon his return, reiterated the gratefulness to the heroes of Astro City and the world for their never-ending faith in doing the right thing, no matter the public opinion and what they suffered in his name. <br>
-Plans were also made for the Contact Matrix for the K'ntarians to be permanently returned to Honor Guard, as well as back up alien detectors to prevent any plan like the Enelsians from working again. <br>

 By the first of August, many heroes, like [[Winged Victory]] and the Irregulars had been captured by E.A.G.L.E. troops, some killed or thought killed like [[Jack-in-the-Box]] but most were forced into hiding. The [[First Family]] put up a force field around their headquarters and Honor Guard Headquarters were cordoned off essentially taking them away from helping. [[Samaritan]] was the only major hero still active, along with [[The Gentleman]], [[The Hanged Man]] and the Confessor. <Br>
 On August 4th, the mayor held an evening rally at [[Centennial Park]], where he would announce he was bringing in even more troops, even with most of the city's heroes held in check. <br>
-Just as the mayor was beginning his speech the Confessor attacked the mayor, though the E.A.G.L.E. troops were already prepared for him. The people watching on television, couldn't see anyone the troops were fighting and the public at the meeting, figured out wooden stake guns, holy water cables and holo-crucifixs would mean the Confessors a vampire. The mayor pointed out the Confessor's secret of him being a vampire and allued to him being the one responsible for the Shadow Hill murders. But the Confessor somehow near death, managed to fire a stake gun at the mayor, killing him which revealed his true form, of being an Enelsian. <br>

 The public started to understand why the events of the summer had happened the way they did. The attempts to discredit heroes, using the Shadow Hill killings with a sweltering summer ramped up paranoia and was able to drive wedge between the public and the heroes, to disguise the impending invasion of the Enelsians. The hero registration was to help clear the obstacles of super powered beings and let the Enelsians bring in even more troops disguised as E.A.G.L.E. troops.
 ==The Battle==
-The Enelsian's plan was to get as many humans as possible as hostages to get the governments and super powered beings of the world into a forced surrender, but the Confessor's sacrifice and revelation of their presence, forced the Enelsian's hand before they were ready. The [[Crossbreed]] arrived at Centennial Park, while to late to help the Confessor, they managed to save his partner, [[Altar Boy]] and prevent the shock troops brought in to take hostages from doing so. <Br>
