<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center">

<p class="MsoNormal">      A number of years after the disappearance of the Sky Riders, Elliot Schrader and Joel Palmer, two friends residing in the rural town of Rivertree, are given direct orders as are many other young men pledging under the Selective Service Act to serve for the Knight Piercer Militia. The fathers of the two voluntarily joined the Knight Piercers almost a decade ago during the Rebellion of the Sky Riders and considerably the most significant civil war of Elysian City, up to date. The two, Elliot and Joel now over 18 and eligible to serve for the Knight Piercers, had no contact with their fathers and neither did their families since their recruitment.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">Now, Elliot and Joel are up next to join the Knight Piercer forces. Most of the towns’ men over 18 receive a recruitment letter and are shipped out in bunches at a time. Joel is to be shipped out first, followed by Elliot the next day. Suddenly, a letter is received by the Schrader family sent by Elliot’s father himself. He does not explain his life nor his current situation, but he draws out and writes an escape plan for Elliot and his family in order to not join the Knight Piercer forces and instead lay low in the outskirts of Elysian City where the Resistance is stationed. Plain and simple, Elliot’s father is sort of a spy in a way against the Knight Piercers and is secretly working for the Resistance. Elliot chooses to follow his father’s plans knowing very well that once he makes this decision he is officially a criminal of the state and will be charged with treachery.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">Joel is expecting to see his friend Elliot, but over time he realizes that Elliot is no longer a part of his life. He comes to two conclusions of Elliot’s whereabouts. One, he was killed, which is very bad because he was his best friend. Or two, he joined the Resistance, which is much worse than Elliot being dead.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">Elliot and Joel become enemies in the process and are forced to see the end for one another. Joel does not hold back and neither does Elliot. The Sky Riders join forces with the Skyscrapers resistance and together they aim to bring down the Knight Piercers once and for all.
