Prologue:

            What is insanity? The way someone acts, which others don’t understand? The mental state in which one cannot comprehend events in reality? A mental state in which you become a danger to society?

            No… It’s the reason why people are alive.

            Let me explain.

            Before the apocalypse, everyone lived in a semi-peaceful world; filled with sane people, a minimal amount of violence, and carefree lives. This may seem like a good life, but this does not exist anymore. This kind of world also did not exist in two cities, before the apocalypse; Gotham city and Arkham city.

            To those who do not know about Gotham and Arkham, Gotham was a large city in the New England area where every day was like being in a comic book; insane people commits crime, a person dressed up in a costume saves the day, and criminal gets tossed into the local asylum.

            Before the apolcoypse, every day in Gotham was like this; criminals commit crimes and a guy dressed up like a rodent, known as “Bat Man”, saved the day.

            Now that you know what Gotham is, let me explain to you what Arkham was like. Arkham city was a large island in the center of Gotham that was surrounded by a river. Even though Arkham is known as a city, it is actually the underworld of Gotham; the part of Gotham where all the criminals lived, where 60% of the crimes were commited, and where the jail and asylum is located. And just like Gotham, “Bat Man” would go and save the day.

            To me, I honestly think this rodent guy was wasting his time, since all the criminals were able to break out of the asylum. Anyways, a year before the apolcaypse, a group of criminals from Arkham came together and decided they wanted to combine all their signature weapons together to create the ultimate weapon; which they wanted to use to destroy Bat Man.

            The group of criminals that participated in this plan were a psychopathic clown named Joker; a fear loving psychologist known as ScareCrow, as known as Johnathan Crane; the smartest carbon based life form named Edward Nigma, known as the Riddler; an independent secretary named Selina Kyle, also called Catwoman; a mutated doctor known as Victor Fries, referred to as Dr. Freeze; an energetic, pyromaniac called Firefly, formally known as Garfield Lynns; a split personality attorney named Harvey Dent, aka Two-Face; and a plant loving botanical scientist, nicknamed Poison Ivy, formally known as Pamela Isley.

            During their first meeting, they decided to use Joker's venom, Crane's fear toxin, Nigma's television box, Catwoman's whip, Freeze's freeze gun, Firefly's jetpack, Harvey's coin, and Ivy's poison.

            No one knows what the invention looked like, but we know it was a disaster.

            On July 4, 2014, the first day they tested the weapon, the weapon released a large cloud of poisonous toxin, which spread all over the earth and began killing every living life form on the planet. The weapon also exploded, turning Arkham and Gotham into a ghost town.

            Even though the weapon destroyed the whole city, the group of criminals, and others that were insane enough to stay alive, didn't die in the explosion and didn't get killed by the poisonous toxins.

            A week after the explosion, the group of criminals and survivors came out of hiding to see everything was destroyed. Cars turned on their sides or was turned into a pile of ashes; the only thing left of the buildings were the metal frames, some of the interior, and a small portion of the walls; streets filled with ashes, broken and destroyed objects, and the remains of the world before the explosion; and the midday sky tinted gray from all the ashes and smoke.

            Once everyone was done examining their new world, they came together and began blaming the other criminals for the disaster.

            Johnathan blamed Harvey, Nigma blamed Selina, Selina blamed Freeze, Harvey blamed Ivy, Freeze blamed Garfield, Firefly blamed Scarecrow, Ivy blamed Joker, and Joker blamed Edward. As they continued to fight, the other remaining survivors began choosing sides, creating small armies.

            After a while of fighting, they decided to separate Gotham and Arkham into eight districts, with each criminal claiming their own to rule over. Once they created the barriers for their districts, the criminals and followers went to their districts and began a new life.

             5000 years later, no wars have started and everything is going back to normal, sort of.

             Each district is ruled by the descendent of the criminal that ruled the district. Rules have been made, schools have been built, families have grown, businesses have been rebuilt, and so much more.

              And even though the world has been peaceful for the last 5000 years, I have a feeling that a war will break loose soon. I don't know why, but I feel like something's going to happen where all the districts and cultures will collide, causing a war to erupt.

            I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Samantha Kyle, and I'm the future ruler of Catania; district of Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman.
