"I don't care if you think I'm just some lunatic with crazy ideas of a perfect world. I don't care if you think that what I am going to do is just a way for me to get attention. The simple fact is, that's what I want! I want everyone to know that crime will not be tolerated in this city. My city!"

I know that I can never be like him, but understand that he has entrusted me to follow the true path. Just as fate has brought the journal into my hands, so too has the Angel filled my soul with this quest."
In the second part of the Dark Heart series, someone has found the vigilante's journal and has taken up the quest for a peaceful city. Armed with a Bible and a sword, one of the underworld's own is adamant that she will finish what the vigilante had begun - if only for a place in heaven.

However with the Underworld gone, the vigilante has set his sights on the packs of youths that instill fear in the community.
