The Skirmish in Cedar Point marks the battle between the villain groups occupying Cedar Point, and Advance Guard, assisted by an unnamed hero group.

Prelude

In late 2015, the villain Prancer manages to organize a group of villains and establishes the area of The City known as Cedar Point as their territory, eventually renaming it Hollow Point.<ref>Interlude 1 II</ref> Meanwhile, a therapy group brought together by Jessica Yamada aspires to form a hero group; uncomfortable with the situation, Ms. Yamada recruits one of her old patients, Victoria Dallon, to guide the team and keep them out of trouble. Victoria eventually chooses Cedar Point as the team's first target.<ref>Flare 2.7</ref>

The team secures approval from Foresight to take Cedar Point as their jurisdiction and decide that their first moves are to put pressure on the Hollow Point villains by inviting heroes from the Kings of the Hill and Auzure, meanwhile collecting footage via Kenzie's cameras.<ref>Shade 4.2</ref> These initial visits from hero teams go well, for the most part, and the team's plans seem to be coming along nicely. However, these plans go awry when the hero team Advance Guard, whom they had not invited, show up; as a skirmish begins, the team is forced to intervene.<ref>Shadow 5.2</ref>

Aftermath

For the most part, there were no casualties; though Etna struck Kenzie with a molten projectile that would have killed her, Kenzie revealed herself to have been a projection. This incident did expose tensions within the Hollow Point villains, as Prancer and Beast of Burden come to a head over the use of violence in their regime.<ref name="5.5">Shadow 5.5</ref>

The fight exposed the activities of the therapy group in Hollow Point, revealing the presence of their cameras; Victoria attempted to negotiate with the villains and have them disband, threatening Prancer with the information they had acquired through their monitoring. Despite the growing tensions within the Hollow Point villains, these attempts at negotiation were unsuccessful.<ref name="5.5" />

Mayday revealed that Advance Guard had been invited to Hollow Point by a third party, likely civilians who were calling for help, but Victoria was suspicious of this. Kenzie's history in the PRT also came to light following the battle, with Mayday explaining the reasons for his harshness towards her. Ultimately, Mayday agrees to keep Advance Guard out of Cedar Point, and Spright leaves them with the information they had recovered.<ref name="5.5" />
