As most disasters do, this one came about because of a spygoat, a Prinny, and two attitudes that couldn't back down.
(No, really, that's absolutely true. Cuban Missile Crisis? A spygoat saw a Prinny setting up nukes. 1906 San Francisco Earthquake? A spygoat accidentally nudged a Prinny into the San Andreas Fault, explosion occurred, boom. Black Death? Transmitted by spygoat-infested Prinnies. THE ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW. WAKE UP SHEEPLE.)
As for this particular incident, the beginning found one spygoat trundling down the streets of the Far Shore, with a particular destination in mind: the Temple of Angra Mainyu, or the Castle of Overlord Zetta. Know thy enemy. Or possibly just harass the enemy and hope the spygoat gave good material. Hibiki, as anyone who had seen her performances would know, was flexible.
But bad luck, the word of the day, had a Prinny step outside the front door, trip over a garden hose, and promptly drop a garbage bag on the spygoat. When the Prinny reported back to Zetta, the book simply looked up from its websurfing to snarl, "Go find one of her things and reprogram to say 'dood' around her a lot! I'm busy looking up rhymes for when I steal Christmas!"
So the Prinny, who by now was painfully familiar with the route to Hibiki's temple thanks to waaaay too much gratuitous dragging by a spygoat, shrugged its penguinly shoulders, sighed, and started off down the road -- and promptly ran into a spygoat that Hibiki had sent out for some other purpose entirely. This disappointed the Prinny immensely, since it had really been hoping to avoid doing any work entirely, but it carefully caught the spygoat and then settled down to consult its extremely helpful guide, "How To Reprogram Hibiki's Spygoats to Say 'Dood' A Lot For Dummies".
The moment Hibiki saw that through her feed, she immediately sent three more goats out to verify whether or not she had actually seen that correctly. In a surprising fit of competent incompetence, the spygoats promptly trampled the Prinny, which was just impressive considering it could have moved like six inches to the right and been fine, and trundled on down the road towards Zetta's castle to continue their investigations, only to meet two more Prinnies who were coming out to check on the third and bringing extra, blatantly non-dusty copies of HTRHSTSDALFD in the process, and --
Okay, fast forward seventeen minutes later. Prinnies surge out of the castle in waves, marching blindly down the street only to meet a matching wave of spygoats emerging from the temple, and after a 'melee' that involves these really garbage-tier Prinnies collapsing over the spygoats and frequently exploding, a lone straggler from side or the other emerges and manages to travel on a few more paces till the next group brushes it aside with barely a glance. Both Hibiki and Zetta had tried sending their minions down alternate paths, only to be foiled by both Zetta and Hibiki trying to send their minions down alternate path, so that these 'battles' are 'raging' in multiple different places at once, with Prinnies detonating and spygoats staggering around and all is chaos!
SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!
