Apocalypse

Apocalypse is a criminal organization in the Magic Kingdom Levianta sometime before EC 0. About five centuries later, it is reformed as Neo Apocalypse by a descendant of one of the original organization's members, Mikhail Asayev, and three other members.

Several years before EC 0, Apocalypse was founded in the Magic Kingdom Levianta and the organization commited numerous crimes and acts of murder. At some point, a 20 year-old Meta Salmhofer fell in love with one of the organizations leaders, Pale Noël, and became a member herself. Lead by Pale, the organization began causing mayhem across Levianta. Around that time, Meta was captured and tried for execution before joining Project 'Ma'. After she had fled and left both the organization and the Magic Kingdom behind, Apocalypse continued to remain active. In the succeeding years, Apocalypse succeeding in murdering the fourth candidate for the Project. The organization was destroyed or disbanded sometime after.

Neo Apocalypse
Mikhail Asayev with three other unknown individuals reformed the organization in EC 508, rechristening it with the name Neo Apocalypse as the New Four Horsemen. The organization committed numerous terrorist acts in an attempt to gain a political foothold in Divine Levianta and overthrow the Levin church, having successfully acquired the Twin Swords of Levianta. Abyss I.R. approached the organization and assisted in the event but was promptly defeated afterwards by Liliane Mouchet along with the help of Chartette Langley, Elluka Clockworker, and Gumillia. The organization was eventually subverted.
