Precisely one-hundred and six years after the League's legendary adventure...

A girl named Pegeen walked through the halls of her high school. Dimly, she heard the voices of the other students, laughing and carrying on...all unaware of her plight.

Dream of fire...

Quotes from movies and music mingled freely in her mind. Having just seen 'Hellboy', Rasputin's voice was one of the many that sped through her veins.

Of fire...

For a second, it seemed as though the halls of her school really were engulfed in flames. Then, Peggy blinked and they were gone. All that remained was a splitting headache and that nagging ringing in her ears. An odd tingling sensation spread through her body and Pegeen looked down in astonishment. Again, her mind played tricks on her eyes. Her hands were covered with blood...her blood.

She opened her mouth to shout for help, but the blood quickly vanished as well. Am I crazy? Pegeen wondered. The warning bell rang loudly, forcing Peggy to run up the stairs to the second level of her school. She knew better than to run up stairs...the pain in the back of her head was always excruciating. Slowly, as if in slow motion, Peggy felt herself begin to fall back...and back...and back...

Fire...
