The End had begun, and it all started with a pillar of smoke. It rose peaceful enough from the charred rubble that was once the Empire State building, and spiraled into the clouds. There it slowly dissipated and then vanished.
The Rooks and the Agents never would have guessed that their long lasting rivalry would lead to New York's demise, or perhaps maybe they would have been more careful about how they went about their dirty business. But then again, maybe they wouldn't have cared. They seldom did.

This is a story of Outcasts.
