The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
Albert Camus
Time: Ten Years Into The Future
H.E.O.M.A.A. took over after destroying the Watchtower. They told the world that it was time for them to once again be protected by their our kind. 'Humans with Humans' was there motto, and that won over so many in the begin. The world leaders even fell in line with them. Fools the whole lot.
After the world leaders gather H.E.O.M.A.A. the full right to 'act for the greater good of mankind', it became to the dark ages. H.E.O.M.A.A. had been very thorough in their "cleaning". Told the world that the problem wasn't good verses evil but human versus the rest. It made it easier for the leaders to sign off on exterminations.
First was Themyscira, claiming about the ancient warriors coming to end modern world. That was really just their gateway attack. Next H.E.O.M.A.A. tracked down every hero and villain that could be found. Afterwards they moved on to the civilians with the potential to become more. Those were the metas, humans with extra abilities. If people knew what would come from that, maybe they would have stopped the madness. Extraction was what they called it. The heroes, villains, and metas that were captured could be killed, and they called lucky. Others were either transcended or tested…either way you gone.
The people realized the mistake that had been made, but it was too late. The leaders tried to gain back power, but they were slaughtered for acts of defiance.
Even help from the heaven wasn't enough. The last Green Lantern of Earth called out to the Lantern Corps, and when they arrived, it was devastation. H.E.O.M.A.A. wiped the Lantern Corp from existence. Many other planets came to try an help. World indebted to the Justice League and their deeds; but none could stand against H.E.O.M.A.A.'s forces. Eventually the world learned to live with H.E.O.M.A.A. and its demons.
But not everything was bad. H.E.O.M.A.A. concentrated the world population and systemized life. Scientists were congregated in mass cities, and that lead to amazing advances. Agricultural techniques were combined from the entire world, leading to mass harvests. The world simple molded itself into a society divided into fragments but perfectly integrated. It would have been beautiful if not a cover for such dark core.
But that is the thing about society with a dark core; there is always a fraction of light fighting to shine through. They're known at the Undergrounds. They were heroes and metas and even villains who escaped capture. And it wasn't just them; people who saw the wrong and sided with them were apart of it. The undergrounds lived in hided cities outside the walls of H.E.O.M.A.A.'s societies. They fought against the forces in camps, at walls, and even in cities.
Ten years of fighting…
Ten years of lose…
Ten years of darkness…
And for some ten years of captivity…
