Knights Multiverse

Cell City

Cell City

Jul 12, 2021

Over eight hundred years later, a new country was built in the middle of the ocean between Arbok and Titania. It was a perfectly circular man-made island. The entire landmass was made up of a futuristic urban development. This land became known as Cell City.

Cell City is the most technologically advanced country in the world. The country's construction was founded by rich nobles from Arbok, descendants of the previous royal family. Cell City has no Order for its country. It's ran by a president, who acts as a king would, only with less political power. Though he doesn't need to, as Cell City is under Arbok's protection. The leader of Arbok keeps Cell City's laws in check, while the president enforces them and chooses from a variety of rules and regulations for the citizens to follow.

At the time, Cell City was under martial law (meaning the military controlled the civilians on orders from the leader of the country). The country was flooded with poor refugees from other countries that were taken in, and a wide variety of criminals who saw Cell City as an opportunity for crime. The country was still new and young, so a lot was going wrong.

Cell City is the only country that uses cars and highways as transportation. Crime is thwarted by military officers, who arrest these criminals and jail them. But the people are also oppressed by the military. The general happiness of the citizens here was low.

Here, a boy named Aron was born. At a young age, he showed promise with his abilities. He had a laser power. Aron could use these lasers to resemble a variety of things. As a small child, he would make toy cars, or action figures. The military feared this power because a laser user was a high threat to the country's technology.

At the age of twelve, the military stormed the home of Aron and his parents. They came to take him into custody.

There was only one man there out of the soldiers who had no mask. Aron remembered this face well. His name was Medial, General of Cell City's military. He was tall, skinny, with long black hair that reached his shoulders, and soulless black eyes that showed no mercy.

In an attempt to protect their son, Aron's parents told him to run out the back door. As they told him this, Medial was electrocuting them with his power.

He nodded upwards toward Aron. "After the kid." he said calmly.

Aron ran as fast as he could. As he left his house, he heard several gunshots. He knew what happened. While he ran through alleys and climbed over walls, trying to get away, he heard the explosion.

His house was set on fire.

The firetrucks followed later. His parents were soon announced dead.

Ever since that day, Aron had been living his life fleeing from the military, getting stronger so that one day he could kill Medial.

Now he was seventeen. Aron was used to his lifestyle. He spent his days taking out as many military officers as he could, slowly gaining information on Medial. When he got in trouble, he'd make a high-tech motorcycle out of his laser power and speed away on the highways. No one could catch him.

Cell City's military used high tech warfare. Bullets, laser guns, high-tech traps, tasers, etc. Things you wouldn't see in the other countries. But even after five years, Aron still wasn't captured. He'd get money from whatever the officers had on them, but few restaurants would serve him. If the military found out that someone sold to Aron, they'd get their business shut down. He lived his life as a fugitive.

One of these days Aron would defeat one of the strongest heads of the military, Banshee.

Banshee was a large, built man, who was known for his loud war cry and inhuman strength. He wore an exoskeleton suit, which only increased his already insane power. As a reward for defeating him, Banshee gave up all the information Aron needed on the whereabouts of Medial.

That same day, Aron headed to the skyscraper on the eastern side of the city where Medial was located. 

Aron didn't bother with stealth. He crashed straight into the side of the building and singlehandedly took out the soldiers on every floor as he made his way to the bottom. He soon found out by overhearing a conversation between soldiers that Medial was using his position to influence the president of Cell City. Under Medial's watch, no information was getting leaked out of the island, leading Arbok to believe that everything was working smoothly. 

In the basement of the skyscraper, there were rows and rows of jail cells full of children. Aron didn't need an explanation for what was going on. These were all of the children who weren't as lucky as he was five years ago. He broke them all out of their cells. This set off the alarm. When the guards came to investigate, they were met with over a hundred angry and eager children with various powers. The guards were easily overtaken.

Backup came soon, the basement was flooded with one hundred and fifty more guards quickly. Aron found himself fighting back to back with a thirteen year old kid named Airson. Airson was stronger than the other kids. He was a yellow lightning user. Him combined with Aron's laser made a great combo. Airson insisted he should go with Aron to defeat Medial. 

Aron became Airson's first friend outside of the cells.

After getting the children out, Aron and Airson found Medial in a room that was several flights of stairs below the basement. He proved to be stronger than they thought. His electric powers blew up the building from the bottom up as it collapsed.

When they got out, the sun was still up. Medial revealed that he had another power apart from his electricity; solar absorption. He could feed off the sun's energy. This gave Medial an infinite source of power. He was unstoppable.

Aron and Airson focused on surviving until the sun went down. This was no easy task. Medial's solar power along with his electricity was almost too much to handle. But they did it. The sun finally set, and Medial could now only use electricity. Aron and Airson went at him. 

Medial was far too tired from all the attacking he did prior.

Aron and Airson finally beat him together. Medial died.

Aron went to the president's office to contact Arbok about what was happening. They sent Alpha and Beta Squadron Knights over to clean up the mess. The current president was kicked out, and Cell City went through a rehab phase, but they would never have problems like this again.

I should probably say that these 5 chapters move very quickly mainly because they're just backstory. Don't worry, the plot slows down and becomes more detailed as the story moves.

WEBTOON Coming Early-Late 2022

The Knights Multiverse Project.

A boy is raised in a dark and impoverished environment from birth. He realizes the unfairness of the world from an earlier age than most. As he begins to grow older, he decides that he doesn't want anyone else to go through what he did. But the world is a big place, and there are situations that can be far worse than what he could ever imagine.

As he fights his way through dark organizations, republics, wars, and even the gods themselves, our main protagonist comes to see just how shallow his dream really is. Is it even possible to achieve such a thing? But the answer to that is far away, past even the largest countries, or even the largest planets. The core of good and evil itself lies at the origin of all things.

Beyond the barrier.
