A massive earthquake in 2014 has reshaped the world. Nations as we know them no longer stand, cities that stood tall no longer stand, and people have been fighting for their survival. 16 years later, a proud militaristic government has risen above the rest, calling themselves the Vanguard. The eastern part of the world has been divided into several factions and nations. Unaware of anything but his own life, 16 year old Shoal Summers lives in the city of Astral built over the remains of New York City. He is famous for one thing: being the son of Xavier Summers, High Commander of the Vanguard. Little does he know, that fame makes him a perfect target for Renegade Corporation, a rogue company that plans to exact their revenge by making him their test subject. Family friends like Izuzu Otani can no longer be trusted and a visit from Dr.Ruby Alicea, C.E.O of the Renegade changes Shoal's life forever. This is my first attempt at writing so bear with me :D. I am open to all criticism so long as it is constructive. I just recently joined this site and I'm hoping to make this story as best as it can be. Thank you for your help and enjoy :).
