Undisclosed Japanese military testing laboratory zone, Winter 1939.
It was an especially cold night. The wind howled outside and shook the steel girders of the dark laboratory. A flew snowflakes fluttered about outside as a maddening concoction finally came to fruition on the inside.
"Dr. Xu! Dr. Xu! We have done it!" An overly excited voice exclaimed.
The clicking and clacking of fancy dress shoes echoed off the white tiled floor. The man in a pearl white lab coat stepped with purpose as if sending powerful vibrations up each wall he passed. The man finally arrived at a stainless steel table with a myriad of test tubes and beakers, all with various forms of bubbling substances in front of him, except one. He brought a hand to his face and began to stroke his stubble-laden chin.
"Hmmmmmm," He pondered.
Out of all the colorful liquids in front of him, only one was the brightest. It also happened to be the only one that was settled too. Its gold color illuminated the otherwise dark room. The room didn't need to be dark for it to be alluring, either. This was the special serum Dr. Xu had been working on for the past eight years and it had all finally paid off.
"Is it... ?" The assistant attempted to creep back into the conversation.
Dr. Xu adjusted his glasses as he examined the vial with the mysterious golden serum in it. It only took a mere moment longer before the doctor had an epiphany.
"M-i-r-a-c-l-e," He spoke delicately.
"M-miracle, sir?" The assistant replied softly.
Dr. Xu raised the vial high in triumph. For too long his work towards this war-altering tool had consumed his life. All the pressure, all the threats, all the unsolicited visits from military officials at his home and lab and all the unwarranted attempts on his family's lives, including his wife and children, were all seemingly about to finally come to an end for he had done it. He had created it.
"MIRAKURU!" He shouted with uncontrollable joy, ironic to the destructive force he just created.
The tide of war was about turn but little did anyone know that this miracle, this Mirakuru, this serum, would leave an indelible mark on the world and human history as a whole.
