I doubt anyone would start a war other this, specially when Alice herself hasn't made a fuss over it in so much time.

I prefer the idea of the IaLR Civil War between those who prefer Jelo's way of leading the gang, and those who prefer Red Fork as the leader of the gang.

Who were the teams by the way? I think I recall even villains joining the conflict. I've been looking at the lists, and here they are. I'll make changes to my own list later. And I also recall something about Galaximus having her own role.

I was also thinking that Green Shadow should have her own role, probably being the leader of the third party team of neutrals, thus having her own team in the mix. Since Green Shadow is also one of the main founding members of the Locked Room Gang, my idea is that she would believe that Red Fork and Gerald are incapable of leading the Locked Room Gang after seeing that their dispute has caused a civil war and unstability of the gang, and that only she would be able to lead the gang. She would then recruit the neutrals to join her side and persuade them to help her stop the two sides from fighting.

Gerald's Team
- Dark Green Shadow (Despite being Green Shadow's friend, she still has a much different view to heroism from the latter. She also particularly found Red Fork to be more annoying than Gerald, back when she was still a villain.)

- Kyoji (Given the recent attacks on the multiverse, Kyoji would suspect that Red Fork's changes to defend the multiverse against villains might put everyone in danger, so he would want to put a stop to this.)

- Sasuke (He is more loyal to Kyoji than anyone else in the gang, and Kyoji would be able to convince him to join Jelo's side. Plus, he would be more than glad to join once he finds out that Sakura is on the same team too.)

- Sakura (She is Kyoji's sister, so it would be pretty obvious on which side she would stick to.)

- Blizzard, Earthquake, Tornado, Wildfire and Thunderstorm (Spoilers, but before the events of HoEC, they were loyal to Elementia until the Warlord took over them. By the end of Dark Reign Again, they would be free from the Warlord's control and they would go back to Elementia's side. They would be here sent to fight for Elementia, who would disapprove of Red Fork's plans.)

- Red Ruby (He has recently became resentful towards Red Fork and a few other gang members like Boom's team trying to get in his way, so he would want to take this opportunity to get his revenge on them. Besides, Red Ruby hasn't really gotten into a bad relationship with Gerald.)

- Toby Topaz (He would be pretty scared thinking what Red Fork has become, so he would unwillingly join Gerald's side.)

- Sean Sapphire (He has been loyal to Captain Red Shell, Kyoji and most warriors in the gang, so you can be sure he would be on Gerald's side.)

- Assorted Cookie (He would initially be neutral to the conflict as he doesn't want to get Baker Street involved, but after discovering that his cookie friends are involved, he would step in to help them.)

- Captain Snap Jaws (She has always been an ally to the Crab Empire, so Captain Red Shell would most likely hire her.)

- Itachi (By the end of Dark Reign Again, Itachi would trust Kyoji as an ally and given their past relationship before he turned into the Grass Sword, he would want to help Kyoji again.)

Red Fork's Team
- Starcade (She has a very close relationship with Red Fork and Blue Ocean, not just because they're gaming buddies, and she would want to support them. Though that means she will have to fight Kyoji in the process.)

- The Retro Rebels (They're very loyal to Starcade, so she'll be able to recruit them to be reinforcements to Red Fork's team.)

- Cuboy (Despite his development in Dark Reign Again and poor relationships with Red Fork, Cuboy still has feelings for Starcade and would want to protect her, which is the only reason why he would join Red Fork's team.)

- Akasha (Given her dark past, she has no problem in committing acts of violence to the point of death. Even though she has become one of the gang's allies, she still has her issues with Kyoji and Sasuke.)

- Takeshi (Interestingly, Takeshi actually agrees that Gerald should be leader again. However, because he fears that his sister Akasha would be in danger as a result of the war, he only joins Red Fork's side to protect her.)

- Tsunami (As mother of Akasha and Takeshi, you can be sure that she would want to be there to protect them.)

- Gary Garnet (He has been friends with Blue Ocean, Alice and Starcade and he would want to help them out in developing scientific weapons.)

- Emma Emerald (She would think that the forest has always been at stake with villains lurking around, and that Red Fork's changes would ensure that it will stay protected.)

- Nutty, Mimic, Hissy, Chimp and Leech (They are loyal to Emma Emerald and would be more than glad to help her. However, Leech only joins in order to help them out.)

- Captain Blowhole (Captain Blowhole is one of the few villains who is willing to form an alliance with the gang if necessary. After hearing that the Crab Empire is on Gerald's side, he would form a temporary alliance with Red Fork's team with the intention to get rid of them.)

Neutral
- Green Shadow (As one of the leaders in the gang, she has her own ways of leadership and thus does not want to get involved in the conflict.)

- Bonk Choy and Re-Peat Moss (They are Green Shadow's sidekicks so as much as they want to join the fighting, it only makes sense that Green Shadow doesn't want them to get involved too.)

- Amelia Amethyst (She cares for her friends and she doesn't want to help either Gerald or Red Fork add on to the ongoing violence in the conflict, knowing that she has convinced Corolla to be her friend again without violence in A Nemesis Long Forgotten. She won't be able to convince Corolla not to be part of the conflict though.)

- Diana Diamond (She believes that neither Gerald nor Red Fork are right, and does not want to get Gemstonia too involved in the conflict.)

Gerald's Team
-Captain Red Shell: It may seem like a surprise, since he's a part of the Red Crystals, but he seems to agree more with Jelo's way of leading. Besides, the initial events that might've been staged by Jelo's supporters would make him believe that Red Fork is actually being hostile towards Jelo and becoming poewr-hungry, something he'll have nothing of.

-Coconut Crab

-Gary Guppy

-Starry

-Blowy

-Eddie the Eel: Captain Red Shell could easily recruit him by feeding him.

-The Cookies: Many of them are more closely related to Jelo than to Red Fork. Besides, after hearing the conflict begin, they believe Red Fork is much more dangerous than Jelo, since he's a natural predator for the cookies, specially in Orange Cookie's experience. So the cookies join Jelo, though Coffee Cookie isn't happy to be on the opposite side from Blue Ocean. This means Orange Cookie, Coffee Cookie, Blackberry Cookie, Lebkuchen Cookie, Pirate Cookie, Cherry Cookie and all other cookies would be on Jelo's side.

-Bright Spark: As mentioned before, despite being a villain, he'd provide support to Jelo's team in order to achieve his goal of getting rid of Red Fork. This means Fork-bot and Twi-bot will come along for the ride as well.

-Flapjack & Tomato Smash: Does anyone remember these two? Well, the most important thing to remember is that they're fierce rivals with Red Fork and Blue Ocean. And once they hear of the war breaking out in Echo Creek, they won't doubt to jump in and give Jelo reinforcements in order to take down Red Fork. They'd be more of an external force that comes to get involved late into the war.

-Soar, Sandra and Drake: Remember that Soar still is resentful with Blast because he believes Blast destroyed his aircrafts. This will mean that when a war begins within the gang, we'll be glad to support the side that is opposing Blast and his friends. Sandra will be more than glad to fight against Boom and Electra.

Red Fork's Team
-Blue Ocean: As Red Fork's best friend, he is loyal to Red Fork and will fight by his side until the end.

-Lemon Glass: Being easily influenced by others, Blue Ocean coudl easily influence her to stay on Red Fork's side and fight for him.

-Blast: He has a very close relationship with Red Fork, and sees him as a great leader and almost as a mentor, so you can bet he'll stay loyal to Red Fork.

-Alice & Tommy: They choose to stay on the same team as Blast. Besides, they're more used to working with Red Fork since they've been a part of the Red Crystals for quite some time.

-Boom, Electra, Scorch & Blade: They're loyal to Blast and his friends more than to anyone else in the gang, so they'll definitely fight on their side, even though none of them seem to really care who's in charge.

-Red Spoon: A firm supporter of Red Fork's leadership, and could probably even become one of the commanders on Red Fork's team that would help create devastating strategies to outmanuever Jelo's team.

-Dark Shadow & Black Gem: They're have much stronger relations with Red Fork and Blue Ocean than with anyone else in the gang, so it's clear which side they'll be fighting for.

-Ace: At the beginning he'd prefer to stay neutral, believing such a conflict is pointless and unnecessary. However, when he discovers that his brother is involved in the war and can get seriously injured, he will step in to defend his brother from any members of the other team.

-The delegates of the Food Dimension: They've all formed strong bonds with the Red Crystals, and after Red Fork and his friends helped them save their dimension, they'll be more than glad to return them the favor.

-The Sprout Squad: They've formed strong bonds with the Red Crystals more than with the rest of the gang, so they'll be joining Red Fork's team.

-Paula Python: Red Spoon could persuade her to join Red Fork's team.

Neutral
-Emily Green: She'd be devastated as the war takes place, since she's very close to both Red Fork and Jelo, and wouldn't want to see them fighting. At the beginning she'd be taken by surprise by the war, and would even start to wonder if the gang really is any different from what she had before. If the leaders of the gang are fighting for leadership, are they just as bad as she was before? She even starts reconsidering being in the gang and considers rejoining the Blocked Room Gang. However, she finally decides that she must find a way to end this, and she'd be the one to contact Twilight Sparkle to bring the war to an end.

-Team Hybrids: Despite their relation to the gang, they'd prefer to stay neutral since They believe the conflict is pointless and unnecessary. Besides, the war never reached the Forest of Confusia, so they don't need to intervene.

-Night Cap: He believes staying neutral is the best option, and since he doesn't have any special reasons to support either of the two sides, he just stays out of the fight, along with his sidekicks, Spark and Sting.

Gerald's Side

 * Rosewell – Being one of Gerald's closest friends and supporters (as well as having a crush on him), it would make sense that Rosewell would defend Gerald and his ways of leadership.
 * Gerry – In addition to being Gerald's friend, Gerry decides to defend Gerald after noticing some potential flaws in Red Fork's ways of leadership that could potentially endanger the lives of anyone, regardless of whether they're in the gang or not.
 * Kaitlynn – Despite refusing at first, after being convinced by Gerry about the flaws in Red Fork's ways, Kaitlynn decided to fight for her friend's cause. Unfortunately, she struggles with having to fight against those closest to her.
 * Pit – Despite his task of stopping the war between both sides, Pit believes that Gerald's ways of leadership do make sense and have their benefits, while Red Fork's are kind of odd and counterintuitive in a way. He'd be glad to find a way for Gerald to win the war, whilst keeping the humans safe.

Red Fork's Side

 * Jaiden – While she would love to side with Gerald, she agrees with Red Fork's ways of leadership.
 * CypherDen –
 * Rebecca – Rebecca decided to fight for Red Fork, due to the reasoning that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", and that a sudden switch could be bad for the gang.
 * Star – Even though she's friends with Gerald, she thinks that times have changed and Red Fork's a better leader than him, and hopes Gerald can understand that.
 * Marco – Marco sides with Red Fork not just because he agrees with Star, but because he believes Red Fork's ways could benefit everyone in the gang.

Neutral

 * Mercy – Due to being against war, Mercy refuses to join either sides. Instead, she decides to rescue and heal anyone unfortunate enough to get caught in the crossfire.
 * Milo, Melissa and Zack – Having went to Echo Creek just to visit the various tourist spots in offer, the three never expected a full-blown civil war happening here. Looks like Murphy's Law ain't the only thing they'll have to deal with.
 * Milo – He's confused about the war.
 * Melissa – She ignores the whole thing.
 * Zack – He thinks the whole war's ridiculous.

Gerald’s Side

 * Jenny- She’s been there for a while, and thinks that Gerald is simply stronger. Not to mention all the fighting they’ve done together- further, Gerals was the leader when she joined, and gave her hope to defeat her sister.
 * Nebula- No reason for her to oppose sides with Jenny, especially judging by you-know-who.
 * Blaze- He has a loyalty towards humans, even though he never has had a Trainer, and also seems wary about the presence of Red’s powers.
 * Palutena- Palutena would never oppose Pit, and is a protector of humankind anyway.

Red Fork’s Side

 * Rose- Ever since Rose escaped the Deepsea Metro, the fact that Tartar was constructed by a human has contributed to her fear of them. Rose is not the first one to jump into combat, but she feels a need to fight for what she believes in.
 * Shantae- It would be neat if this took place chronologically after Robot Genie-us. By the end of that, I suspect Shantae and Red Fork would be good friends, not to mention their sharing of magical abilities.

Neutral
And finaly... this one does not fall under any category, but nonetheless should be involved here. Say it with me...
 * Asher- Not only is he not a part of the Gang, but he wants nothing to do with this affair in the first place.
 * Jack- I think Jack would not much care who was in charge- he simply hopes it is the strongest of the two.
 * Rottytops- Rotty is never the combative kind- but could she serve as a mercenary? In payment for brains something? Something the ponder.
