Disclamer: I do not own Doa, Ninja Gaiden, nor any of the characters related to those two awesome games.

The list was brought to Kokoro for examination. She knew she wasn't going to like it but her captors were not going to take no for an answer. It was merely for their amusement to cause her pain. She quickly realized that her son's name was included on this blacklist. The other names…they must be the children of the other competitors. Kokoro blinked back the tears. Doatec was back with a very large score it felt needed settling. It took several years for them to rebuild from the ashes she and all the others had left it in, giving them time to learn from past mistakes. And make vast improvements. Kokoro was never told who led Doatec's re-awakening but whoever it had been chose her to lead it. Why me? She wondered quietly, all I had wanted to do was test my skills in Ba ji Quan .All those years ago,the woman never dreamt of things becoming as brutal as they had. She nearly died. Many of her friends from the tournament nearly died. So much blood was shed to end the gruesome war. Those poor souls… they had no idea of the horrors that was about to be re-unleashed.

"So, whatcha think of the list?" A gruff voice interrupted. Kokoro nearly choked on her words.

"Do you know of their locations?"

"Been known."

She looked at the list again, her tear drops smudging the ink:

The paper slipped out of her hands and onto the cement floor. The guard picked it up.

"Well, I guess she approves."

Yea, this was just a teaser to get people interested in the story. I'll reveal more names on the list in future chapters, and I'll be posting chapter one soon. Please review, much appreciated! Oh-yea, things will get a little funnier when Doa generation 2 begin narrating …
