You have always lived in a kind of horror movie, your past is blurry to say the least. The little you do remember is that you were in juvie several times and ended up sleeping under the boardwalk until the Warriors found you and claimed you. Cleon, their leader, gave you a name and a purpose. Years later, you are on your way to sign a truce with the rest of the gangs in New York State. However, the dream ends abruptly when Cyrus, the organizer of the meeting, is shot and killed. You quickly flee with the Warriors. On the way home, you pass through other gang territory where you meet a girl, Mercy, who also wants to become a Warrior. After an undercover cop arrests Ajax, you find yourself alone with Mercy in a subway tunnel. Soon she decides to break the silence between you.

Mercy: "Hey, the cops are gone, do you have a light or something?"

She asks you, looking at you with more than just interest.
