The Beasts

# Hey! You found a secret! Good goin'!

## Overview

The Beasts are Facist-Empire fighting vigilantes who put their lives at stake to fight the Steak. After their city was taken over by the horrid Bartholomew Beef and his endless army of soldiers and workers, they were forced to do the only thing a wild animal does when cornered, bear it's *teeth*.

## History

Bartholomew Beef began to take over New York City, transforming it into a massive dystopian industry focused around his famous meat brand, simply, and suspiciously named "Beef". Thousands of people lost their homes, many of them started to go missing, and because he was elected the new Mayor, there was nothing the outside world could do to help.

A famous wrestler, named Centurion, after his old Roman-Style helmet he wore, was forced to rebrand, donning a new suit with a fat beef logo right on the chest. He didn't mind at first, but his favorite sandwich shop was shut down, along with the man living there, nicknamed "Burger Bob", being evicted. He snapped, and the next time he stepped into the ring, he held back no longer. He was challenged by a Beef worker in the crowd, who was dared to fight him on his birthday.

Centurion was supposed to lose, but the chance to cave in the skull of a Beef worker was once in a lifetime for him. He beat in that man's head so bad, eight men had to wrench him away from the gurgling heap of bruises and scars.

Centurion was thrown outside, awaiting execution in an alley, when he was pulled away into an abandoned building.

He stumbled around, readying his fists, and shouting

"What?! You gonna kill me?! Better make it count! It better be instant, or you'll hit the floor before i even touch you!"

"Relax." Called out a deeper, gravely voice.

"I saw how you kicked the shit out of that guy. You've got your heart in the right place."

Centurion smirked. "Big fan?"

The voice chuckled "I certainly know who you are."

An armored man wearing a cowl walked out, his chest bore a crescent moon. He grabbed a piece of glass from the ground, and slashed the chest of Centurion, but his skin was unharmed.

Centurion was about to dome him with a right hook, but he smiled at the cross that had just been drawn on his chest over the beef logo, pounding it with his fist.

"How would you like to crack open Beefers like that full time?" asked The Dark.

"Sounds like fun to me." Centurion mumbled as he grinned.

They gathered a few more members, and started to get some real work done, and eventually revealed to the people of Beef City that their precious "Beef", was actually human. Those deemed unfit to live in their society were turned into patties to feed the "Acceptable" citizens.

This revelation caused the Beef to crack down, and things only got worse, causing the Beasts to ultimately retire, until 20 years later, where a man gathered enough members to officially revive the Beasts, and have a chance at stopping them, once and for all.
