Union of the Sacred Gemstones

"'These guys are tough... is beating them even possible?!'""~A FoRFaNT Soldier fighting the Union"The Union of the Sacred Gemstones is a Union formed by Xavier Boros and Xero Elektron in an attempt to stop PROTOCOL:EJ and keep FoRFaNT from killing Joseph. They plan on achieving this by overthrowing FoRFaNT and removing Foster from power, even if it comes to bloodshed. They utilize advanced technology and a diverse, versatile squad with a vast array of weaponry and elite training, allowing them to outmatch anyone.

Before the Union of the Sacred Gemstones
Before Xavier enters the world and the events of HoEP: Trapped Within begin, there was an organization known as the Rebel Union that aimed to take down FoRFaNT. This organization consisted of a small army led by Monexia, Opium Henti Yurisan, and Nick Smith, who walked the world trying to take down FoRFaNT, searching for the Twelve Sacred Gemstones in the process.

On a fateful morning, Monexia, Opium, and Nick decided that the best way to take down FoRFaNT was from within. Disguising themselves, Monexia and Opium took the identities of an assassin (Shizuka) and a mystic (Maiko), respectively, easily making it into FoRFaNT as elite soldiers. They slowly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming member's of Foster's personal guard.

The sleeper cell plan was working out just fine, and the duo had earned Foster's full trust. However, one day, Foster called a large scale raid upon a section of Numa City who's population disliked FoRFaNT. Xavier, who had just recently joined FoRFaNT, caught sight of the raid before Foster could cover it up. Having completely lost Xavier's trust, Foster pulled a gun on Xavier. Before he could shoot him, Opium walked up to Foster and grabbed his gun, telling him not to hurt him. Knowing Xavier had figured out the truth, Foster shot Xavier through Opium, sending Monexia into panic. Foster then ordered Monexia to kill Xavier, and in a panic, the cover of Monexia and Opium had been shattered.
