1. intro

The city, the broken and unforgiving city- the slums of the country. It might as well be a jail house filled with people of all ages and types. A hard place to live if you don't know how to either stand up for yourself and come out on top or slink away in the shadows, unnoticed and unharmed if you know what's good for you.

The city, a harsh place that eats people, no matter how young, how old, how soft, how nice, how mean or how innocent you are. The city eats people of all kinds, not excluding the innocence or the sick. The city where you get lost, and it changes who you are as a person-you forget who you are altogether. Who you were. You don't even realize you've changed until it's too late. The city, were "It's a Hard, Hard World Out There," is its motto. The population is filled with so many breakers of the law that each citizen is questionable. No one left not to judge.

But we're getting ahead of ourselves.

How does a city become this broken? How does one shatter like glass, leaving their sharp grievances strewn all over the floor being left for someone else to get cut? And cut, they shall. The more people get cut the more they shatter, the more they shatter the more shards get thrown. How does one

get shattered so easily though? What is this line between innocence and sickness? Between good and evil?

Maybe sometimes there is no line.

Maybe there is not just black and white, maybe this picture will be painted grey.

Painted of all colors, a blank canvas filled up so long ago. Drenched in red. Stained with blue. Spurted with green. Slathered in bright yellow. Covered with black mixed in with white. So much confusion, so much goodness and badness and color. A blank canvas filled up so long ago.

So long ago…

Before heroes and villains, before everyone we knew.

It was not a nice place. It was a city. It was the city. The city, The City of Townsville.

Before Him, The Amoeba boys, The Gang Green Gang, Fuzzy L, Femi fatal, before big giant monsters, before Mojo Jojo, The Mayor, Miss Belem, Miss Keane, Mr. Green, The Professor, and the Power puff girls.

The city reigned with change. People were made to be who they are today. This was the Before.

Before Townsville.

Authors Note: Ever wonder about all the characters back story's? Wonder were all the bad guys come from? Well here it is. I'm going to lay down the truth- this is going to be awesome...maybe. You'll just have to wait and see. I'm going to do each of characters back-story in each future chapter, exploring the boundaries of how everyone came to be. Before Heroes and Villains. Before it all.
