BATTLECRY:RETRIBUTION is the brainchild of Veteran Mugen Screenpack creator/Infinity Mugen Forums administrator/Club syndicate Xtreme/PhantomGs/Newagemugen Co-Founder Grayfox AKA Big Boss, and Club syndicate Xtreme/Negative-Edge Founder Immortal Syn (Newagemugen's original name before Club Syndicate closed down in the late 2000s).

It is a long lost project from the beginning/mid 2010s that Grayfox would like to see resurrected, to showcase the now long lost style & flare of the golden days of our private and exclusive community, but remade to modern standards.

The Word B.A.T.T.L.E.C.R.Y Itself is an acronym for "Bio.Augmented.Tactical.Technology.Lifeform.Enhancement.CRYOgenesis"
It is a translation of the original Japanese Name "TOKI: SHINBATSU" or 閧:神罰 (War cry: Divine Punishment).

The meaning is very deep, as is the them and design of the entire screenpack, its stages and character mods.
The story goes as follows:

Since the beginning of Human civilization, we have pointed up to the stars and spoken of heavenly beings and gods.
Mankind has countless myths and legends of warrior gods, Dragons, powerful weapons like the thunderbolt of Zeus, the Trident of Poseidon,
the Vajra of Tibet, The legendary sword Excalibur, the Vimana flying ships of ancient India and more.

But what if all these legends were true and these Gods and weapons did exist?
Well the fact is, they do, and they always have, and since the beginning of Time, Good and evil forces of both Mankind and the gods have been locked in an eternal battle over control of the Universe!

These celestial beings we call "GODS", who had been at war for millions of years, unable to kill each other, found a way to create powerful god killing weapons and technology that if placed in our world and used by humans, could indeed be used to kill the Gods.
These became known as the CRYO weapons.

The Martial Arts, Ancient mystic teachings, Knowledge of Alchemy, Metals, weapon forging and more, all these things were taught to us by Ancient beings, through ancient relics sent to earth by the celestials.

So now, the Celestials of Good and evil are locked in a power struggle, choosing warriors to join them and arm with celestial weapons to use against each other in order to control the Universe.
These battles will be waged not only on earth, but also within the secret dimensions of the Celestials themselves.
The BATTLECRY

The screenpack itself is a living artificial intelligence weapon fused with ancient technology than was either from space, Gods, some otherworldly Celestial Beings, or something else, but we dont know because its too secret lol.

This is only a short summary of the Battlecry lore. More will be revealed in time......
