This is my home...this, is Capital City.

Land of the heroes, home of the villains...and the battleground that houses the war between good and evil; every...single...day.

Though our past was once a dark one, the sun has brought us a new day to look forward to, a brighter future ahead for us all. Our greatest warrior, Chris Champion, triumphed over adversity to take the throne of the city once again...and peace is slowly being restored. Certainly there will be rebellions from the villains, as they struggle to regain control of the city for themselves...but for now, the streets are safe for civilians again.

For now.

The unfortunate thing about our fair city is that with every great hero...there will always be an equally great villain, and vice versa. For now, Chris is on top of the world here in Capital City...but I can only fear how long his reign will last before he meets his match once again. I've heard talk of the villain by the name of Dillon Death, who comes during the night to reclaim what once was his--the throne of Capital City. You see, it was only weeks ago that Death was overcome by our Champion...and he is still bitter about it all. At one time, Dillon was our hero, but he allowed himself to be corrupted, and Chris could not let him go by doing as he pleased any longer.

He felt it was time for a change...and he brought it.

Myself? I've observed so much since I came to Capital City three months ago...and it was more then I ever expected. My 'name' is Dominic Danger, but I prefer to simply go by 'Danger' when I'm playing the part of my heroic counterpart. In Capital City it pays to keep your identity safe...though it is almost impossible to do so at the same time. Nine times out of ten, actually...you'll probably be in your hero's suit moreso then your actual clothes. Sure, it gets tiresome sometimes...but it's a worthy cause.

After all, who wouldn't give it all for the greatest home there ever was on this Earth? Who wouldn't give it all for the people you've came to call your family?

Why, only a coward...and I'm certainly no coward. I'm a Pericolo--a rising hero in Capital City--and so long as there remains a single breath in my very being...I will never back down.

I suppose that's what's drawn so much attention towards me from the people, too. In these past three--nearly four--months that I've been here...so many people have caught on to my name and cried out to me for help. I've fought criminals, I've fought villains...and I've even fought other heroes just for the sport of it.

When crime is low for awhile, heroes need to find something to do after-all.

Take the Violent Clown for example--despite his name...he is a hero. He was once on top of Capital City's throne as well, looking over the people with keen, cold eyes. He and I faced off in an honorable battle one day, and I actually managed to topple him. I've earned his respect...and I've also earned the respect of many others in Capital City--both heroes, civilians, and even villains alike.

Of course, my greatest accomplishment by far was finally putting an end to one of the greatest tyrants Capital City had ever seen. It was only weeks ago that I finally stepped up to stop the threat known only as Gruesome Galen...a supervillain who I'd both beaten and lost to in battle before. Our third--and final--battle took place during a cloudy afternoon in the valley that lay beside the city walls.

That's the thing about Capital City...it is truly in a unique spot of the world. On one side of it, there are endless valleys of plush grass; whilst on the other side, there are mountaintops sheilding us from our rivaling city. You see, over those mountains which protect us lies miles of deadened earth--only dried grass, heavy boulders and desert-dwelling animals stay there. As this wasteland stretches onward, it soon meets another set of mountains protecting another city in this world.

If Capital City can be called the 'City of Heroes'...then the City of Mori could likewise be known as the 'City of Villains'. It is the complete opposite to that which is our own fair city.

And it too suffers it's own opposite problems. For as villains struggle to bring chaos to our city, heroes try to bring harmony to theirs. It's a never-ending cycle...but one day, someone needs to break it and do what this world needs to have done the most.

We've had so many heroes of Capital City...but one day, this very planet needs someone to call it's hero. Someone who can unite the warring cities as one, and restore peace and order to our troubled lands. Though Chris Champion may have control over Capital City for now...how long will it last? How long can it last?

There are so many questions...and I--well, I suppose I've gone off on one big side-track, haven't I? I started speaking of Gruesome Galen and now it's came to this.

I apologize, allow me to go back and finish what I was saying.

You see, on that cloudy day...there was a feeling in the air unlike any I'd felt before, and it felt good. It made me more confident then I'd been in awhile...and I knew as I stepped out there to confront this villain for the third time...that it would finally end. Right there...right then.

Galen, though his psychic powers were great...could not overcome my staff, and in the end had failed.

Not many heroes use weapons these days, you know...they're completely content on using their powers and showing them off to the world. Even our Champion can't help but gloat over his own powers--from his ability to fly, to his ability to create energy blasts, to his suprising strength. Myself? I prefer to keep mine a mystery...and though it's kept me from actually being considered a 'super' hero in the eyes of civilians...they do know that I'm just as much a hero as anyone else.

I'm saving my true power for when my greatest battle finds me...and when that will be, I honestly don't know. However...I suspect it will probably be on the very day that I finally make it to the top of this proud city and fulfill a dream I've had since I discovered I even had powers to begin with.

Heh...I suppose I'm rambling now, aren't I? I'm sorry, it's just that there's so much for me to share now...even if I've only been here for three months, I've already seen so much that it truly does amaze me sometimes before I go to bed. Yes, you heard me right...even the greatest of heroes have to sleep sometime.

Well, before I begin another tirade of memories to share with you, I suppose I'd better get moving on, huh? You enjoy your stay in Capital City...just stay safe, alright? I'll be there to help when I can, as will the other heroes...

We may have some of the most dangerous villains on the planet here, but we also have the greatest of heroes. This is the safest city you could have possibly picked to stay in.

Welcome to our home. Welcome...to my story.
