The City was nothing now...nothing like it was 50 years ago that much was for certain. Standing with their back against the wall was one of the Night Patrol since The Outbreak...
Sword. That's all they called it. Yes, it. No one knew the gender correctly and many assumed that it didn't have one. At times it looked female and then at others it looked male. One would suppose that there were two instead of one, but only one was seen at a time.
There were others in the Night Partol.
Kiddo, Sweet Pea, Venom, Tech, Haywire, Merdock, Eagle, Titan, Ice and Zero. The Captian of the Night Patrol was simply known as: Messenger as they were the middle man between the City Officals and the Patrol. Sword had a secret, that much everyone knew.
Sword's secret was their twin, Sheild.
For years the two kept switching places, living one life together. Never caring more than was nesscary to secure their spot in the Patrol, never getting close to one of the others for the truth to be know...
The Outbreak was the start of Hell. Or at least a small level of Hell to be unleashed. It started with a small virus...that turned out to be so much more. People were changing, some were unaffected...others weren't so lucky. They became either unable to live without the sacrfice of another, or they become one of Nature's children and roamed the wilderness in search of the life takers. Soon groups like the Night Patrol were created to keep order within Cities, Towns and other small settelments were left to their own devices.
Unfortunately...Sword and Sheild as well as their fellow Patrolers have a destiny far greater than any would believe.
To become the Court...
