The year was 2047. You'd think that humanity would have shed its dependency on violence and bloodshed by then, but no. Even with the vast technological advances, wrestling, boxing, and the like were all still just as popular as they were half a century hence. A good portion of the names that had been inscribed in the book of fame had played sports that had something to do with fighting. These included wrestling, boxing, kick-boxing, football, hockey, and golf. Reael "The 'Roo" Jacobs in particular was a favorite. He was fast with his feet and fearsome with his fists, thus the appropriate nickname. He was a boxer of considerable reputation. But if this was true, then why did he now sit in this long-abandoned digging site? Indeed, it had been famous. Archeological researchers had calculated that this area had a particularly high chance of being the landing site of the meteorite that had theoretically caused the extinction of the dinosaurs so many years ago. Exited about this discovery, archeological diggers immediately flocked in to find this rather large chunk of space-rock. However, after years of cautious digging, the search was given up, dubbed a wild goose-chase. After that, this clearing was left to ruin. There wasn't even an effort to clean up the mess. This is where Reael sat now. It had become his favorite little nook, where he could sit all alone and think. He had been here every day since he got out of the hospital. You see, there had been... an accident. That doesn't matter. His legs were crippled, but not to the point where they couldn't heal. However, after a while, the recovery process just stopped. The healing of his legs discontinued, leaving them frail and weak, unable to handle his weight well. He could walk on his own, barely, but he would never box again. At least, that was what he thought as he sat alone in the archeological site. However, as Reael lamented his loss, a strange glowing in the ground caught his eye. After a moment, he began to edge toward the light precariously, as if approaching some animal that could strike out at him at any moment. But this did not strike. It just glowed innocently and sat motionless, half embedded into the rock. It was a stone, and would hardly have been recognizable from all the others hadn't it been for its luminescence. Gaping, Reael pulled the stone out of the ground and held it. And as he did, he could feel his legs beginning to grow stronger. He felt energized, as if the accident had never happened. The stone was doing something to him. Reael became afraid, but to amazed to drop the stone. As his anxiety increased, so did the stone's brightness. He began to float in the air. Noticing this, Reael began to forcibly calm himself. Apparently, he could control this thing with his thoughts, and even more exciting, it could control gravity! Reael began to scour the site in search of more of the objects, discovering three. He certainly didn't know how to activate or use them, but he could figure all that out later. He needed to get home! Reael decided to try out these new-found abilities, utilizing gravity to launch himself into the air. As he "flew" over the city, he was astounded at how great an experience flying really was. Aircar. Dead ahead. Collision. Four objects scattered in all directions. Reael falling...

These four objects were capable of breaking the fundamental laws of the universe.

Retraho: The sapphire of gravity. Allows the user to shift the center of gravity in a confined area, as well as increase or eliminate it.

Adstringi: The emerald of magnetism. Allows the user to magnetize or demagnetize any substance.

Locus: The topaz of space. Allows the user to teleport by ripping the fabric of space time and travel to alternate dimensions.

Motum: The ruby of inertia. Allows the user to increase or lower the effects of inertia and friction.

These are the four stones that were found by Reael at the digging site. When the aircar hit him, these powerful gems were scattered to four places in the city, where they were found by four different men. Greed drove them to misuse the powers of the crystals for their own purposes, which eventually led to a war that scaled the entire planet, which had split into four factions (one for each of the stones). Technology allowed the duplication of the stones and they were issued to soldiers as weapons. People from ages sixteen up are being drafted into these four militias. This is where you come in. The death toll in this war so far has been tremendous. The numbers in each army have dwindled, and all of the civilians have already been killed. The earth's population now amounts to about 9,600, a majority of them wounded or disabled. But human greed still prevails, as each faction perseveres to attain control of the earth. However, a group of activists rebuked the war. Some of them were civilians, and some were former soldiers. They banded together with a single purpose: to end the war. Thanks to technology and the stones the soldiers already possessed, these revolutionists were able to arm everyone with one of the stones. They assembled a crack team to infiltrate the HQ's of the different factions, one at a time, and shut down all operations. The first stop is Retraho.
