Second Tiberium War

The Second Tiberium war was another conflict between Nod and GDI. Like before, GDI managed to Eke out a victory, however this time, their victory was not nearly as complete, and the war was much more destructive.

Prelude to War
It is now clear that despite GDI's investigations and analyses to the contrary, two things were evident.

1. Nod had ammassed an extremely powerful army capable of challenging GDI on a massive scale on multiple continents at once. Nod troop concentrations included Egypt, South America, Central America, Greece, and several other places as well. Somehow, they managed to keep these armies, as well as their massive war preparations, a secret, possibly with the aid of Stealth Generators.

2. GDI protestations to the contrary, Kane had survived. It is very likely that this ability to elude death caused many to fear and respect him, perhaps also to join him. As before, Kane would be a thorn in their side.

During the intirim, GDI and Nod had developed a number of technologies. At the beginning of the war, the Mammoth Mk II, Cyborg Commando, and various other special technologies were in development, but had not yet finished with their development.

Low level action: The Nod civil war
Before Nod could rise from the ashes, it had to be reborn - reforged into a unified force. And doing that meant that Hassan, a traitor to the Brotherhood and a traitor to Kane, had to be eliminated. However, Hassan, a clever strategist, had already laid plans to have Slavik, the leader of the Black Hand of Nod, executed, before Slavik could do the same to him. Furthermore, as Hassan was the leader of the Brotherhood, it was not too difficult to have Slavik executed. Before he could do so, the Nod propogandist Oxanna, as well as two Nod soldiers loyal to Slavik broke him out of the very room where he was to be executed by a soltution that was "one hundred percent lethal, and no sedative."

The War Commences: Kane Returns
For some reason, Kane decided to speak directly to his adversaries, the Global Defense Initiative, rather than working from behind the scenes, as he had before. He made his transmission by jamming a supposedly secure channel, and although he broke off communications, it was not before he had been tracked to somewhere in the southwest. However, this transmission was accompanied by numerous attacks against GDI positions all over the world - including a small outpost known as Phoenix base.
