"The Iron Kingpin and his forces seek to bring us to heel. To subjugate us by fear and intimidation. The flame of the resistance flickers, and it's up to us to reignite it. We must stir the noble hearts of the Citadel's people. We must show them that this world has not forsaken them." -Moody
Half a year after the official formation of The Paragons and Malcorchus's defeat, The Viper, Duncan Drevis, and The Crawler continue to diligently protect Mercury Heights from criminal activity. However, The Viper soon confesses to Duncan that she has grown weary of protecting the same city for four years, and wishes to have a change of scenery, even for a little while. Soon, the three of them receive a distress call from Duncan's old friend "Moody", the leader of a resistance group in a hidden city in Asia known as the Rusted Citadel, which is currently under the merciless, oppressive rule of the evil Iron Kingpin. When "Moody" calls upon The Viper, Duncan Drevis, and The Crawler to come to the city and assist the rebellion in liberating it from the Kingpin's grasp, the trio ally with Duncan's sister Monica Drevis, a.k.a. Shocker, and embark on another adventure together to save the people of the Rusted Citadel, whose tyrannical monarch has much darker plans for it.....and the world as a whole.
