The Sapphire City Apocalypse
Welcome to Sapphire City. A nice moderate sized city. Not many people know of its existence. It's sort of just there, taking up space in California. Not near the coast but still gets nice temperate weather. But what most people, including many of those living in the city, don't know that the city is really just a cover. On the edge of the city is what appears to be an abandoned warehouse. But in reality it was a secret government lab. There they worked on everything from mircale cures to biological warfare.
Day 1:
Everything went fine until one day, a careless worker broke a container. At first it seemed like everything was fine, that is until the vapor from the container got into the air vent. It soon spread through out the facility. In a matter of hours everyone got sick. They tried doing what they could but soon it was vented onto the entire town.
Day 2:
Soon the entire town began getting sick, the hospitals filling with the sick and dying. Their symptoms were odd and had to track down. They began working on Quarantine, trying to save other's from this epidemic.
Day 10:
Soon the sick began to die off. Not slowly either. This deaths were quick and just as odd as their illness. But for some reason Many of the younger people, about 20 and under were uneffected by this plague.
Day 20:
The government had no choice but to seal off the city. The residents of Sapphire City were shocked to see large walls shoot out of seemingly nowhere. The residents protested, until the army began firing tear gas in the crowd to disperse them. Those living began to congreagate at the City Hall
Day 40:
With food drops now getting further and further in between the population continued to die off as all resources were pretty much gone. But soon the first of many began to surface with strange and odd powers. He soon rose up and became the leader, pleading to the government for help.
Day 50:
Now the population of those with strange abilities began to increase. Especially since those ill with the plague had now died. Now the only ones left were those healthy.
Day 70:
Everyone living within the city now has strange powers. They have rallied around the first one and began calling themselves the Angels.
Day 80:
Soon society began to go back to normal, despite the city slowly crumbling around them. They set up base in City Hall where the first one became the mayor. He made sure everyone was safe as well as try to get his people free.
Day 366:
With the Angels now riding high and working on rebuilding society, a group of people, calling themselves the Renegades came out of the forest. They were all deformed and odd looking. They had set up base in the abandoned Sapphire Tech lab to increase their powers. They declared war on the Angels.
Day 500:
With each side losing many in the war and the city being destroyed by all the fightings the leaders reachd an agreement. The Renegades getting the outer city, except during the day while the Angels get the Inner city, except during the day. So at night Renegades have free reign of the entire city and Angels during the day. A border was created and declared neutral territory.
3 Years after the Outbreak:
The army found out the kind of information retained in the abandoned lab and sent in Delta Force to get it. They never returned.
3 1/2 years after the Outbreak:
After not hearing back from Delta Force and losing all communication as they entered the Inner City they sent in another Special squad to get the information and see what had become of the survivors, if any. Like Delta Force, they were never heard from again.
4 Years after the Outbreak:
The government then created a brand new unit, known as the Leviathan Squad, set out to stop those inside from breaching the gates. They were pulled from ever facet of special services. Their orders were not only to get the information in the lab, but also exterminate anyone they find.
5 Years after the Outbreak:
The Leviathan Squad keeps doing their job, not getting any closer to the lab. They've sent back reports of strange creatures as well as normal looking humans with powers. The Leviathan Squad, once vast in numbers has gone down, day by day.
Each side thinks the other two are the enemies. They're now vying for control of the city as well as survival as the uneasy truce between the Angels and the Renegades holds.
