The deaths of a couple of Hybrids soon became the number one gossip between the East and West Yamanashi Strongholds. While some of the residents believed that it was just a simple gossip, the Hybrids knew better. After all, the weaker ones were beginning to die of unknown reasons.
There were no outside factors aside from the interaction between the East and West Yamanashi Stronghold, and in turn, the suspicions between the two strongholds began to aggravate. It all started with basic rumors floating around, to actual dead bodies showing up in unlikely places.
Of course, both sides brushed it off since the last thing they wanted was to wage war against each other. They just conquered both the North and South Yamanashi Stronghold and divvied up the territory. Of course, there was a possibility of one betraying the other, but they just allied themselves. There was no way something like that would happen, right?
