Prologue: Escape

*Third Person Pov*

Vale City's Chinatown. A gathering place of the worst kinds of scum to partake in reaping the working man's rewards. A hodgepodge of concrete and brick buildings, all places of business either run or 'protected' by various gangs that called this little place home, this place was heavily populated and congested with people returning from or walking to work.

A figure emerged from the shadow of a deserted alley of Chinatown, revealing a young boy of the age of 17.

A lean build and sharp facial features presented a young but mature man, with dark blue hair framing his face while cold cyan eyes casually swept over the crowded street. His current choice in wardrobe revealed a half sleeve tattoo of multiple hooked chains wrapped around and piercing his 'flesh'.

He wore a cyan and black plaid flannel shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows over a black graphic tee with white kanji and 'Talk Nerdy To Me' underneath, faded blue jeans with a black patch showing two chain links separated by a straight diagonal line, and black high top sneakers with two leather straps across the ankle and toe.

All in all, he looked the part of an average civilian teenager…

And that's what he wanted.

Deeming it safe to proceed, the male merged with the foot traffic streaming towards the town center. He looked inconspicuous enough, apart from his mop of hair clearly marking his location. He weaved in and out of traffic, muttering 'excuse me's and 'pardon's all the while.

He finally reached the center of the bustling trade center. He scanned for what he was looking for before his cold as ice gaze settled upon a lone man standing in the middle of a pagoda, surrounded by multiple guards.

This was Yin Shing, one of the most 'notorious' (The male vehemently disagreed with this fact) kingpin's of Chinatown. He had his hands in over eighty percent of business around the trade center and thought rather highly of himself.

'Well then, time to knock him off his high horse then.'

With that thought in mind, Cye Cervantes activated his Semblance, Human Armoury, and formed a pistol in his right hand.

He muscled his way through the crowd, his steps purposeful. He stopped at the edge of the pagoda, aiming at the kingpin's head…

And pulling the trigger five times.

Each shot roared like thunder and struck like lightning, Shing's head exploding in a shower of gore.

The town center was struck dead silent, which Cye fixed with the detonation of multiple explosives set in businesses around Chinatown and offering his own two cents.

"The World Triad now owns Chinatown. I suggest you roll out the red carpet for them."

With that, he pulled out a second detonator and pressed the black button.

He exploded in a shower of gore and metal.

Cye Cervantes, the Shian Kage (Cyan Shadow) of the World Triad, was dead…

Or was he?

*Cye's Pov*

*Play Toshiro Masuda- Hyouhaku*

I let a grin spread across my face unopposed as I reveled in my newfound freedom of the oppressive organization known as The World Triad.

'Seventeen years. Seventeen years of their merciless training and horrid missions and now I'm FREE!'

I was doing a little jig in my mind, as I walked away from the scene with a black hoodie pulled over my head.

With that, I had made my escape.

Life was good.
