Prologue
It was a city divided. War was law, and no person could escape that reality. An age of technology, ruined by mans blind will and hatred. People lived in fear for so long there was a tolerance to the sorrow.
As the economy fell, the slave trade thrived, and a person's rights held no meaning anymore. But there was no dictator to control the masses, they controlled themselves.
There were still classes in society, or what was left of it. But below common public, war was wagged.
For this was a city secretly ruled. Two gangs of free wills, of free minds, of free people.
The rich and what use to be powerful, wanted to separate themselves from the other masses, and be the elite the thought themselves to be.
The poor, the homeless, and what was left of the middle class banned together, not wanting to be ruled, but wanting help and acceptance.
And so from the ashes of this city divided, rose a phoenix of new ideals. Both warring sides created what was now know as the Elite and the Underground, or more commonly know to the people as the Babylon's and the Mutants.
So for generations this system held, and war never stopped between the two. But armies cannot go without a leader, so from the revolutions, two men were chosen. The Elite chose a man of charisma, a man of intellect, a man of power. His name was Inutaisho, and he governed with strength and wisdom.
The Underground chose a man of wit, of cunning, but they chose poorly. Onigumo was the man, and harmless in the beginning but corrupt to the end - his leadership was anything but helpful to the struggling Underground.
But men can't live forever. So after many years the power of the warring sides were given to each heir, sons of the great men that once were. Peace prevailed for many years between the two sons, until recent frictions gave way to threats of battle.
So the war thrives on, as a public secret. And in the midst of a city divided, a love lives, and people's hearts die.
