Dema/Trench Lore, diving into everyday life in Trench with the Banditos, on their path to free Dema.
Lita and the rest of the Banditos are led by the Torchbearer, Josh. Their mission is to liberate Dema from the Bishops, but they first need to figure out how to expand the rebellion within the city. In the meantime, the Banditos task themselves with helping more citizens escape the city and adjust to life in Trench.
When mysterious letters are discovered throughout the city, some citizens begin to question their commitment to Vialism, and even the Bishops themselves. Nobody knows who this 'Clancy' person is, but the Torchbearer knows how valuable such an ally could be to their cause, and he's determined to get them on their side.
*Authors note*
This story follows the canon timeline as closely as I'm able, starting from just before HeavyDirtySoul and ending after the events of Levitate. If all goes well, there will be a sequel that delves into what the Banditos do during the SAI era and beyond.
I've based several of my characters on real-life people, as well as borrowed some names. Lita is based on Debby Ryan, and Hadley is based on Jenna Joseph. I changed their names for creative reasons, but I didn't want there to be any confusion about who they are meant to be.
THIS IS NOT JOSHLER CONTENT. Nothing against it, I'm just more interested in exploring this world the boys have created! Please enjoy ❤️

June and the other Banditos are on the brink of escape, and it would be a whole lot easier if the Bishops weren't set on their destruction.
We'll win, but not everyone will get out...
