I pity them. I pity you... poor humanity.
You do not know that all you have built shall rot and decay, your gloried spires shall crumble. Your world shall whither away.
I pity them. I pity you... poor humanity.
As your empires crumble, your sustenance shall become thin. The planet shall no longer provide to you, plenty shall fade.
I pity them. I pity you... poor humanity.
With no empires to stand, and little life left in the Earth. You shall rise up and take arms against your own. The blood of your kin is spewed forth.
I pity them. I pity you... poor humanity.
You shall dwindle away, ever so slowly into the corruption of yourselves. The world turned against you, there is no escape, only the cold embrace.
I pity them. I pity you... poor humanity.
But do not fear, your tears shall fill the lakes and your blood will revive the world. I shall bring seven under me to save you.
I pity them. I pity you... poor humanity.
I pity you... poor humanity. I brought forth the resurrection of your paradise, and I ask for one thing in return.
I pity them. I pity you... poor humanity.
You shall erect your spires once again under my name. I shall be the head of your empires, your blades shall be held in my hand. You will live for me.
I pity them. I pity you... poor humanity.
I am the true Savior of humanity. I will show you the darkness, and you shall find comfort in the Inferno.
I pity them. I pity you... poor humanity.
This is not a promise nor a prophecy. This is a Royal Decree.
I pity them. I pity you... poor humanity.
"I'm not asking you whether you want anymore or not. I'm telling you to take it and pay up or you'll pay anyways from your grave for our troubles and we'll find another..."
This is the the city of Megiddo, Japan. Built from the ground up by the Testament Corporation, it serves as a revolution to urban life. A Prototype for the Testament Corporation's newest plan, the reconstruction of the world for the better of its inhabitants. The president of the Company, Dante Cypher, had Megiddo become the base of operations for the Testament Corporation, transferring it from America. It was officially announced to the world and placed on a map not long ago, but it already became a metropolis of sorts as people from Japan and foreign nations flocked to Megiddo for countless reasons. Some came to Megiddo seeking adventure and a new lifestyle, while others came to escape their past and start anew.
Megiddo was divided into five regions after its rapid expansion from the sudden population increase. The East Harbor district borders the Pacific Ocean and was the first of the four districts to ever be established. Along with the Testament Corporation, the area is widely known as the turf of the Mishima Yakuza, a group that the Testament Corporation handles with the utmost extreme caution. Opposite of the Harbor District is the West Noble Estates, bluntly known as the Rich District. This is where most of the lead Testament Corp. staff reside and other financially advanced residents.
"Listen, punk. I don't care who the fuck your dad is, I ain't taking shit from you. I'm on the fucking suspect black-list and I'm not getting popped for shit I don't want!"
On the Northern end of Megiddo is the Northern Home District, or better known as Commons. It's similar to an average housing complex, homes to the unexceptional but able to live happily and survive with more than needed. But in a city like Megiddo where everything is at the peak of glory, the southern district is the lone exception. It's called the Industrial District, but all know its true nature. The Industrial District is only half factory and business, the rest is known as 'affordable' housing. Unless one had connections to the Mishima, any crime above a certain standard resulted in direct placement within the Industrial District after imprisonment. A law that was established by Dante Cypher so he could withhold order in his city.
"Fine then, your dead!"
But the fifth and most amazing of the district is the one that was claimed as Testament Territory. In the center of the city, bordered by the other four districts, is the Testament Headquarters. It's design is similar to a castle made of glass, a beauty to behold at a distance and the inside is like standing in the center of the worlds government. Not too far from the Headquarters is one of the key reasons why the world came to this one city, a high school. But this wasn't an average high school, it was ranked on the same scale as the renowned Gekkoukan High, and like Gekkoukan, its support from Testament give it limitless possibilities. The student body consisted of students from across the world, with multiple backgrounds, and different goals in life.
"Everyone on the ground!"
But at this very moment, the world was beginning to change. Something was beginning to manifest itself in ways that will tear the world apart, then piece it back together. It will work in the shadows, altering destinies behind the backs of many and only a few will have the ability to stand against it. They are not the forces of good, they don't believe in a greater cause, nor do they care much for the fate of those around them. The line that divided good and evil has been erased after being crossed countless times, the heroes no longer follow the righteous path. The seven will have to do more than be heroes, they will have to become a greater evil than the enemy that challenges the things they wish to obtain.
There is no one hero, nothing similar to a wild card in a story of evil bringing itself down. There are seven 'Corrupted' and they have no ties between them. This sin begins in the Harbor District of Megiddo, on official Mishima business.
