"This is the city of G R A Y. The city of God.
It is called so because over 75% of the population of this city has god-given abilities, known as "God skills."
Some, known as HEROES, protect the city, while others, known as VILLAINS, defy the government and law and commit heinous crimes, such as treason against the 'President' and opposing our completely fair laws, such as the Death Penalty or the Kill Law, which allows any citizens to execute 1 person every month.

Romance is outlawed in our city.

Heroes are revered like gods in this city. Your social status depends purely on how strong your ability is, gauged on a scale of F to S.

You know all of this, of course, having lived here for... 15-21 years now, haven't you?

now, this next part is of supreme importance. If you're watching this, you were originally a part of a special Ability Modification/Enhancement program, without your knowledge, as we wiped your memory of the incident.

Now, I don't know what path you went down in your life, but there is one thing in common. You all have supremely powerful abilities, all higher than the B+ tier.

This is of supreme importance, okay? This next part will tell you the reason why you exist.

I'm not a revolutionary or anything I'm just a mere scientist who died years ago, but know this. This world... This city... You HAVE to take them down. They are corrupt, and they are evil. You have to find the others. Team up. Throw away any existing rivalries ior prejudices. You need each other. They are hunting you down as we speak. Go. Find them. Defeat the government. Prove to them this world is not black and white, but rather, shades of gray. You who are labelled as villains, you can save the world. You who are labelled as heroes, you can defy the government. Go. Please."

Kendo saighed, as he popped the tape recording out of the video player. He sipped from his cup.

"The old man finally admitted it... Goddamnit..."

Kendo ran a hand through his hair, as he got up.

"I already have the list of the others... I wonder how THOSE two will react?"

Is it
wickedness?

weakness?

FujiKase, or as he was now known, The White Foxglove, fastened his mask on properly, sighing. His hair blended in with the small cloud of fog wafting around his head. He surveyed his surroundings, wondering what to do and where to go next.

Tellakon walked around on the roof of the building he was in, tail swishing around. He was thinking about the recent incidents, and what the best choice would be.

Athena had already memorized every single word of the recording by heart. This revelation wasn't all that surprising. She had long suspected that the government had done something with her powers. They may have wiped her memories, but her mind was strong, and there was always something nagging at her about her powers. They felt unnatural. Maybe she always had them, the government had just made them stronger. Whatever it was, they probably thought that she would become more useful to them. Too bad, it wasn't how things turned out.

But now what? The message was rather vague, what others? Almost three quarters of the population had powers of some kind. Yes, she knew two people who probably were like her, but they were only a tiny part of the giant world they lived in. There could be many more out there, or just a few. Who knows?

Hush dear,

Let me tell you a secret,

The real monsters don't look like monsters~

Kendo burst into Athena's room. He noticed the tape in her hands.

"Ah. So you already know, eh?"

"Jesus Christ... of all the times, the stupid old fart had to send us these tapes 3 YEARS AFTER HE DIED."

Elucian, aka Luce, aka Compass, aka a whole bunch of other names she used with various acquaintances, was silent. And it took a lot for her to be in what she called complete silence, when absolutely everything was still and frozen but her mind, which was in complete overdrive.

There had been rumors of shadowy people, discreet inquiries about those like her with extreme powers. They.

There had been additional rumors as to why she and many others had such strong powers. We.

An in group and an out group with discernible names and faces. A government conspiracy. She didn't need to be told twice that the government was corrupt; as a self-proclaimed villain, she had been fighting for herself and against the government for years.

Tossing her blue hair over her shoulders, she held out her hand into the air. Even with the recent advancements in technology, everything had iron in it. Her blaster soared into her hand, a directed electric field bringing it to the point of attraction. Her powers. The whole problem, it seemed.

She was going in search of answers. Inverness, her three-eyed crow swooped behind her at an inconspicuous distance. She made her way down the streets attracting just enough attention to be ignored. She would see if others with powers as strong as hers had gotten a similar tape... Perhaps a certain few in particular...

It was never meant to be.

Kendo ignored her, as he turned to leave.

"Oh [duck] El's gonna explode when I tell her I knew about all of this-"

He sped off, trying to locate Elusian in the streets. There were a few cries of protest from people he brushed by them, but overall wasn't attracting... too much attention. His scarf trailed behind him as he jogged through the streets. He slowed down when he spotted Elusian.

"Hey! El! I was lookin' for 'ya!"

How rude. But that was the usual Kendo. It was probably a good idea to follow him though, as long as he didn't tell her not to. It wasn't too hard to locate him, he had cleared a noticeable path. In a rush this time. Too bad she couldn't just race through it before the people closed in again, she had to jump across the roofs and keep to the shadows. Kendo had convinced her that revealing her identity wasn't safe, so as much as she wanted to go up the the 'President' and make him die a slow painful death while revealing the truth about his 'heroes' to the world, she would have to stay hidden for now. So here she was, wearing a black cloak which billowed out behind her like a cape and the hood hanging low over her face, following Kendo.

She noticed him stop, and skidded to a halt. Upon a closer look, she saw that he was talking to Elucian. As expected. Of course he would want to tell her about the recording.

She turned around, rolling her eyes, and took in the guy barreling towards her. Attracting attention. "Do I know you, weirdo? And besides, I've told you how many times to never call me El?" She wasn't really annoyed... the man known as Abyss had a habit of running towards things.

Elucian fell into step with Kendo. "I suppose you'll be wondering if I got a tape as well? The answer is yes. And honestly it took me forever to rig a system that would actually play a damn VHS tape." She let out a fake laugh, an attempt to put the people around them at ease.

They were acquaintances, as all villains were. She and Kendo had pulled off a few big things in the past; fire, and thunder, and EM pulses were very hard to counter. He was one of the few that she actually had any loyalty to, one of the few that she would take some time to help, one of the few she had trusted with her given name. Even if he didn't even take the time to use it.

"I take it you've already spoken with Athena?" Another likely candidate for the tape to be delivered to. She could only think of a few from the underworld. The White Foxglove immediately came to mind; they had crossed paths in the past. She suspected she would be seeing him soon. But the "Heroes" on the other hand... there would undoubtedly be more of them. But would they really betray their precious government because a tape told them to?

Kendo nodded, pulling out his notebook.

"I have a semi-detailed list of all the people like us. As I know you already suspected, Foxglove is one of us. So is Lumis."

He sighed, as he ran a hand though his hair.

"damned old man... had to do this right now...."

"Yes. Why now? Hasn't he been dead for a while? I stopped paying attention to the rumors surrounding him years ago..." Elucian closed her eyes briefly. It was always one thing after another in this world...

Her eyes darted around the crowded lane, cataloging everything, rarely staying in one place for longer than a few seconds. She could feel the blaster at her hip with each step, a comforting weight against the guards that patrolled the streets. But they never learned; the basic body armor they all wore was made from a light weight steel, which was an iron alloy. She had been able to literally repel them for years now.

"So where are we going?" Elucian was following Kendo, unsure of their destination. She knew they were headed somewhere downtown, but with Kendo, it could literally be anywhere.

"We're going to his lab, El. I need to find a few answers."

They kept walking until Kendo abruptly swerved into an alleyway. Next to a trash can, he counted a few bricks, and pressed a random one, opening a doorway.

"My lord, it's Diagon Alley," Elucian said, raising an eyebrow at Kendo. That stupid nickname was really getting on her nerves, but she wouldn't give him any further satisfaction from having annoyed her. She raised her hand slightly, preparing an EM pulse if there was... trouble... inside. Or squatters. They wouldn't know what had hit them.

"What are we even looking for?" She said, surveying the entrance.

"Research notes."

He navigated the winding halls with ease, being familiar with the place.

He stopped walking when he found what he was looking for, the experimentation room.

She followed him into the experimentation room, keeping her eyes out for any research papers. As soon as she had passed through the doorway, she could feel the presence of metal, so much metal.

"So," she said, glancing at Kendo, pausing briefly in her scanning of the perimeter. "Come here often?" It was said as a joke, but she still wanted a serious answer.

He made his way to the computer at the back of the room. He powered it on.

She shrugged, praying for serenity. "I don't know," Elucian muttered to herself. "It's not like I keep tabs on you every second of the day..."

She followed him. "What's on the computer?"

Athena silently dropped down, careful to not be seen. Sneaking over to the wall Kendo and Elucian had disappeared into, she pressed the combination and followed.

"What are those idiots up to." Fuji slunk after the three villains, mist crawling around him and hiding his face and body. He saw them enter a brick wall, and the other follow. He, as well, pressed the combination and creeped after.

Launa would walk down the streets of the city of Gray and notice The White Foxglove go down an alleyway and disappear after he put in a combination. Wonder what he is doing in there... Launa would think to herself as she began to stop walking. She would peer into the alleyway. She would hide behind an old garbage bag and watch, waiting to see what would happen, as she had forgotten the combination he put in already.
