Note: Hover over any ROT13 text to see its translation.

The National Archery Association ARG was an ARG taking place around the same time as the Star Dream ARG. It was based around the titular group hunting down Lucas for the Phantasm.

Prologue
Before the ARG started, there was a blog post about a letter from the NAA. However, the deliverer was attacked by an aggressive inkling, causing the letter to be not fully comprehensible. Some key details were missing, most notably their seeking of the Phantasm.

First Vandalism
Shortly afterwards, the NAA hacked into 's account. They first thing they did was vandalize Lucas' page due to nobody noticing the blog. The content was as follows:

<font title="Now for the important detail: There is a weapon that is capable of pushing these demons back into the death portion of the anomaly. It is called the Phantasm. It's forged with a special titled Luminite, which is made by the Moon Lord. However, the bow is still legendary despite being forgable by anyone who can get their hands on this metal. You see, once someone crafts this, no-one else is able to make this, unless the owner of the original is killed, where the bow is destroyed, allowing for a new one to be forged. You are also incapable of holding the bow unless you have forged it. To our dismay, a hapless boy named Lucas has already forged one.">Abj sbe gur vzcbegnag qrgnvy: Gurer vf n jrncba gung vf pncnoyr bs chfuvat gurfr qrzbaf onpx vagb gur "qrngu" cbegvba bs gur nabznyl.

The Gang Takes Action
Between this and the Star Dream, the gang knew that something terrible was going on. As a result, they created Operation: Ninja Cat, to combat this. The NAA was infuriated by this, and started sending threats through the blog comments.
