Description: Months before the gang war between Vulture Team and Conqueror Worm, Vulture Team was but a group of three people. These three would become the founding members of Vulture Team, they were Jo Beautmont, Elliot Payne, and Akuryo Beckwood. Before Vulture Team was even born, before these three criminals were even allies, they had fought together. It was Jo's first day in No Man's Land. She had been given a mission: be admitted into the prison, and somehow bring down the entire Conqueror Worm organization and kill "Subject 8", the codename given for the leader of Conqueror Worm and the only prisoner to ever escape No Man's Land. Jo had come across Elliot and Akuryo in a deathmatch they were most prone to in their early days. Akuryo volunteered to help Jo for reasons unknown, while Elliot was convinced by Jo to help her get to Highend.

The deal was for the two inmates to help her get to Highend, then get paid, at least that was what Jo wanted. However, Elliot was planning on leaving Jo, and Akuryo murdering her. Neither were interested in payment, not in No Man's Land. But just as both were going to betray her, they were attacked by no less than 40 in the slums. Lead by the Carnival of Crime, there was no debate, The Inquisitor had sent people to kill Jo. There was a leak into the prison, The Inquisitor had somehow found out about Jo's true allegiance. The three fought for their lives, while also being on the run from the Carnival. In the end the three ended up escaping, eventually reaching Highend. In the battle Elliot ended up getting closer to Jo, and watched her back from then on in case Akuryo tried to backstab them again.
