Story
"You people created Hitler!"

"Yes. It was the only way we could have force the cult out into the open. We didn't expected it to last that long but know that it was for the greater good."

"It was thanks to your manipulation that caused such a bloody loss of life, for many other! Did you even care for the innocent caught in the crossfire!"

"And what good did your meddling do boy! Because of you the cult have now control the Mediterranean and have pull the strings behind the other superpowers! I will not deny the loss of life and what happened next but we made a gamble and knew the possible consequences. And it was that gamble that the cult was almost gone in our time!"

September 2 2030. Rome, Italy.

On that day a scientist, Guido Caesar, had perfected his time machine, thanks to a mysterious benefactor, and with it began setting his intended route, with his assistant Francoise, to write away the great tragedy, world war two which had effected his family till today. But before they could go back they were stopped by two people, senior Interpol officer Edmund and and junior officer Padma. But in the end all four of them traveled to Guido's destination, Germany, 1899.

Being the first to reach Guido and Francoise went to their destination. And upon reaching the house he saw a ten year old Hitler and his family. And, with a loaded pistol and shaking hands, he killed all of them. And immediately afterwards came Edmund, Padma, and a stranger named Otto, who intended to kill them. But before it could happen Guido managed to transport him, Francoise, and to his dismay the other three, back to their timeline.

But upon reaching home he realized something was wrong. In the ensuring struggle his return device was damaged, sending them into 1969 instead and making it unable to work again. And what followed was a surprise.

Men in ceramic armor, bearing holographic advertisements, had assaulted their building, intending to kill them. Only to be saved by knights in silver armor with black tabard. Who had intended to kill them when Edmund began yelling in perfect, ancient, Latin. And with it he and Francoise were dragged into a vehicle and given an explanation.

Edmund, Padma, and Otto were soldiers of a secret force dating back to roman times, called the order of the talon, whose goal was to destroyed a cult known as the black hand. And with it Edmund told them that the talons had manipulated the events to create Hitler, plunging the world into a second world war, so that the cult are forced into the open and eradicated, and by the start of the cold war the cult were nearly extinct.

But with Guido's meddling the cult had managed to take control of Russia by the end of world war one, which they had started, and started a world war two, giving the Russians most of the advance weaponry they have. Leading to two world war fought by the North America and Europe alliance, or allied nations, and the soviet union with the Sun empire, Japan, joining the second one. And in the aftermath of the war most of the talon forces were gone and the Mediterranean was taken over by the cult, going under the alias as the syndicate.

And now the talon officer of the new timeline, Anton and Alexandria, tell them what happened around the world.

By the end of the war most of America had left the alliance and rebelling, due to them never getting proper respect in all the wars, with the assassination of their president when he protested against the Europeans suing for peace with the union by said alliance being the last straw, with the main rebel cell being the confederate revolutionaries. With a rumor of them making their big move in retaking Washington.

The allied nations, now renamed the European allies, are split in trying to bring the Americans back into line while preparing themselves for the the soviet counterattack.

The union controlled not only eastern Europe and east Germany but also most of the middle east, and if rumors are true arming up for another war.

The sun empire holds most of the east. And while they seem docile there are rumors of them preparing themselves for war.

China was reduced to a toxic wasteland, as the civil war had escalated to mutually assured destruction, through the use of a strange device called a nuke. Since Einstein had died before finishing his research in nuclear power due to the butterfly effect meant that nukes had not existed in this timeline. With the survivors hunkered down in special bunkers with rumor's of them making plans to leave earth and destroy them on the way out.

As for them. The remaining order are scattered around the world, with their main bases being in Singapore, Panama, Taiwan, and Scotland. Trying, and failing, to stop the syndicate from escalating the conflicts.

As for the syndicate. All they got was that their planning something and it involves bringing all the superpowers into war and summoning a messiah.

And there is also an urban legend that a swarm of robots roaming the Siberia and the south of both Africa and America, with villages and outpost suddenly disappearing when a purple fog rolls around. With the only clue being the words electronical protectorate scrawls in a bloody book.
