Prologue: Embers of Divergence

In an alternate world where fate takes a darker turn, Shinra Kusakabe never joins Company 8. Instead, he finds himself drawn into the mysterious flames of the Evangelist. Surrounded by zealots and twisted ideals, Shinra must navigate loyalty, power, and the blurred line between salvation and destruction. As his bond with the Evangelist deepens, the world teeters on the brink of annihilation-forcing Shinra to choose between the family he never had and the one he might destroy.

This What If reimagining of Fire Force explores betrayal, inner conflict, and the heavy cost of destiny when one spark changes everything.
