In the ruins of an old school in the south of Paris, four teens were sitting amongst themselves at the farthest table of what used to be its cafeteria. It has turned to a popular hangout for people like them. They were part of a youth gang; the most notorious one to run free in the streets of Paris. But this gang was different from the rest. Unlike the other gangs who only raided the South, this gang managed to breach The Wall and even hold ground in North Paris. Another unique feature of this gang was that, unlike the other gangs who cared more about the reward of the hunt, the leader of this gang, a hotheaded revolutionary, fought for something different: Revenge against his government.

On his far right was a blonde haired, blue eyed young man with a sleeveless t-shirt, thick black pants and dress shoes. A short but well built man for being only 18 years old, he served his leader's partner in crime. This was Isaac Della Robbia.

To the leader's sides were his man-at-arms to his right and second-in-command to his left. They both wore what Isaac wore, but with coal black overcoats on as well. The slender 18-year old at his left had black hair shaved into a buzz cut and the tall, muscular 18-year old to his right had long brown hair that reached his shoulders. They were Danny and Redmond respectively.

In the center sat the 17-year old leader himself. With a menacing smile on his face and his long, black hair combed over his right eye, he looked ahead at all his subordinates scattered throughout the room. He wasn't just the leader of one gang. He was feared and revered by all of South Paris' youth gangs and was crowned their Supreme Prince, as the title for it was called. Armed with a vest full of knives hidden under his custom-made black uniform, he was no doubt a formidable opponent. He looked over his subordinates while sipping from his bottle of 190-proof liquor, silently reminding them exactly who their leader was. This was their leader. This was Caleb Stern.

The four sat in the ruins of the school's cafeteria reminiscing over what they did during the evening. As with most gangs, this one enjoyed the rewards of their actions. However, their actions were much more despicable than the other gangs and they had unmatched power. They didn't do their acts of violence for any physical reward as the violence itself was enough to give such great pleasure to their leader. They made sure their presence left enough scars, physical and mental, to know why they are to never be messed with as their beatings were far above the menial bullying of typical Southern gangs. This happened every evening in North Paris until Caleb felt quite satisfied with himself.

And this evening had been no different...

It was only three hours ago. Caleb had been wandering the streets, knife in hand, making sure that all the other gangs and citizens were in line. Every once in a while, he would turn his head to see if anyone was looking out their windows and watching him pass by. He enjoyed seeing the fear in their eyes as his cold, hard stares penetrated their souls. He knew no other gang would dare try to take him on unless they felt incredibly lucky or were incredibly stupid. Just then, he heard a commotion from around the corner. Caleb, sensing it to be another street fight or rival gang's actions, knew this was something he had to intervene in and that it was going to be fun.
