The world - for as long as anyone can remember it - has been submerged in war, between the humans and the akuma. Now, as things creak to a standstill, the play's just about to begin; all the world is a stage for the opening act: the approaching apocalypse, the second flood of God, where Noah's descendants shall once more rise to survival in the Ark. The scene opens upon England - dark, stormy, cloudy, lovely England.

There exists a single substance - so-called 'Innocence,' the 'crystal of god' - that when paired with an accommodator, can counter the power of the akuma.

So the Black Order was formed, in order to search out those whom have the ability to wield innocence, and produce a counter-attack against the akuma - creatures made by the Millennium Earl, who rules with his legion of demons and Noah descendents.

These days, though, the Earl has taken to tapping the yet unawakened souls: the Unawakened Noah - those born with the Noah gene, which has only been half-awakened. They possess nearly Innocence-like powers, though without the usual dominating strength of the Apostles, and with them, his army only continues to expand.

The Order has begun mobilizing high-tech, never before seen facilities in order to train exorcists to their maximum potential, raising synchronization rates and heightening physical capabilities. There are rumors, some whisper, that they have begun to conduct the experiments once more - the experiments to implant Innocence into incompatible hosts. They've almost got it right, many speculate - but of course, this is all just speculation...right?

It's a race, now, to see who can find the Heart first - the most powerful piece of innocence, that will grant victory to the side that obtains it.

Don't look out your window, darling, everything's on fire - just close your eyes, the sun is going down; come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound.
