Prologue

My name is Roku Ryū. I'm the Firstbourne son of Dragon King Sumeragi and Dragon Queen Mikoto, the rulers of the mystic underground world Drago-Terra and all the Dragons. On my 5th birthday, me and my brothers received 5 Kamuis, clothing made from a material called Life Fibers that would give us special powers, made by a great scientist and an old friend of our father named Dr. Isshin Matoi. When I was 9, I witness my father's killing by a man named Oruku Saki, who became known as the Shredder, leader of a criminal organization called The Foot that terrorized the good people of Tokyo. When me and my brothers finally reached the age of 13, we were able to use our Kamuis and began following the teachings of Master Splinter the Twin-Eyed Dragon, who had taught every group of warriors since the reign of the first Dragon King. By our 15th birthday, our mother allowed us to go above ground and explore Tokyo. From there, we began out fight against The Foot. In our adventures, we made new friends: Gomen, a girl we saved along with her father from The Foot, and Ruto, a young vigilante who rose up to fight against The Foot. After a while, we managed to defeat The Foot and save the city. From there, we became a group of heroes known as the Dragon Force, each of us playing a role in it. Chikyū the scout, Sū the brawn, Aisu the brains, Wu the wild one, and me as the leader.

From there, we kept the peace. But then, 4 months later, we soon came across a creature that I named Mayhem along with a new enemy, on that managed to be us and seemed impossible for us to match against. From the ashes of The Foot, we soon came across a new evil: Ragyō Kiryūin, the CEO of REVOCS, a clothing company responsible for most of the world's clothing. She and her henchman Baron Draxum were on the pursuit of conquering the world with the use of Mutation Fibers, Life Fibers infused with a mutagen that would change any living creature into dangerous and powerful mutants, possessing speed, agility, and strength that match a Kamui wearer's power. Those who served them showed to be too strong for us, even with our Kamuis at full power. Luckily, me and my brothers found a way to combat them in the form of the Mystic Dragon Weapons: specialized weapons created by my father and his old Life Fiber-researching friend Dr. Isshin Matoi to help me and my brothers combat against this new threat. Me and my brothers each took the weapon that was made specifically for each of us. Wu took the Lightning Strike Kusari-fundo, which allowed him to use an lightning spirit called the Lightning Strike Devil to fly at and attack enemies as fast as, well, lightning. Sū took the Fire Storm Gauntlets, which he can use to either shoot blasts of fire at enemies or attack them with literally super-hot punches.

Chikyū took the Terra Warp Ōdachi, which allows him to open portals that can teleport him anywhere he's been before. Aisu took the Ice Morph Scythe, which can weaponize itself with just about anything he can imagine just by using a simple thought. And I took the Golden Dragon Tonfa, which allow me to surround myself with a golden aura that I can use to deal powerful attacks. We managed to defeat the first mutant soldier they made, but Ragyō and Draxum escaped. Though we managed to stop their plans to create mutants, we ended up with an entirely new problem. After we escaped, my brothers and I saw our mistake in the form of a swarm of Fiber Weevils, mosquito-like insects Draxum created to absorb and then infect others with Mutation Fibers. We stopped those villains' plan, but ended up unleashing the Mutation Fibers onto Tokyo. The Fiber Weevils spread and infected some of the residence, causing them to turn into dangerous mutants, ones we had to stop from destroying Tokyo. To make things worse, The Foot returned stronger than ever. Though we were inexperienced at first, me and my brothers managed to master the power of the weapons in our battles, even discovering power we didn't we had. In our adventure, we also met up with the Mutant Squad, a team of mutants that were trying to protect the city. After a while of fighting mutants, we met a man named Aikurō Mikisugi, an agent of Nudist Beach, an organization against the threat of Life Fibers.

He told me and my brothers how Dr. Matoi, with the help of our father, created the weapons, the reason why he gave us these Kamuis, the origin of Life Fibers, and the true intention of REVOCS, giving us more of a reason to stop Draxum and Ragyō. A month after that, we had our first battle with Ragyō. We thought we could defeat her, but she was too powerful for any of us. No matter what we did, Ragyō would regenerate thanks to the Life Fibers that were infused into her body. In the end of it, she revealed the one thing that shocked us all. I found out that I wasn't normal. The true of it was that I was infused with Life Fibers just like her, I was…a Life Fiber mutant the whole time and I didn't even know it. After managing to escape her, I went to get some answers from my mother. When I told her what happened and asked why she didn't tell me what I was, she then revealed the truth to me. She showed me a message created by my father, one for when I found out about what I was. In the message, he told me how Ragyō kidnapped me when I was just a baby and tried to infuse me with Life Fibers by transplanting them in my body, a procedure that could've killed me. I was lucky to have even survived from it. After seeing that, I decided to accepted what I was for it doesn't change who I was and promised to stop Ragyō, no matter what. Soon we came across our old foe the Shredder, who mutated into a monster that Wu named "The Super Shredder."

In our first battle with him, we were overpowered by Shredder and forced to retreat. There, to ensure we survived, Master Splinter sacrificed himself as me and my brothers escaped. We tried to avenge Master Splinter and faced with Shredder once again, but we were defeated. To make the matter worse, Shredder took me captive and I became the Foot's prisoner. In my imprisonment, Ragyō told me the truth about everything, about the Foot, why my father was killed, and why she used me as her guinea pig. It turned out that I wasn't the first to go through this experiment. She actually did this with her only daughters. Due to them sharing her DNA, she thought it would be possible to make another hybrid like her. The oldest was the first to go through it, being no less than a year old. The experiment failed and Ragyō moved on to her next test subject: her second daughter, who was placed into the experiment after she was born just like me. Unfortunately, she wasn't as lucky as me and died from it. It horrified me to find out that she actually did this to her own children. After the experiment failed, she then decided to find another test subject, one she believed to be strong enough to survive the experiment. When she found out about me, she then ordered her men to kidnap me and put me through the experiment. She believed that by infusing a Dragon with Life Fibers would create a hybrid 10 times more powerful than any normal hybrid.

She thought I had died that day and it brought her glee to find out I was alive. As it turned out, The Foot worked for Ragyō just like Draxum. Shredder was her employee who she hired to trick my father into working for her. She wanted to use his Dragon DNA to continue her experiments in creating another hybrid like her. She also ordered him to kill my father if he refused to do so. Hearing all that really got my blood boiling. From there, I swore Ragyō would pay for her crimes and I would kill her. Though if being a prisoner wasn't bad enough, Ragyō placed me under some kind of mind-control and made me help Shredder and Draxum attack my brothers and my friends when they came to rescue me. Though, thanks to the help of my friends and my brothers, I was to break out of Ragyō control and reunited with my team. With all of us together, we defeated Ragyō, Draxum, and Shredder. Ragyō and Draxum managed to escape, but the next time they returned, me and the Dragon Force would be ready. With the Shredder and The Foot finally defeated, me and my brothers decided it was time for the people to know about us and revealed ourselves to the public. At first, they would be afraid of us, but the people actually accepted us as they rejoiced for the city being saved from evil. Though we didn't do it alone, we also had our friends to thank for all the help they could bring: Gomen, Ruto, and even the Mutant Squad.

Though The Foot were gone, there were still mutants wreaking havoc in the streets, ones we were gonna deal with together as a team. After 2 years of it, we managed to deal with the remaining evil mutants and bring the city back to normal. One day, the mayor of Tokyo put up a celebration as a way of saying thanks to us for protecting the city. With this, we thought the dark times were behind us. But we were wrong. Just as the festivities were about to begin, a mysterious stranger attacked with a power that me and my brothers hadn't seen before, a power that managed to kill some citizens and cause destruction to parts of the city close by. This attacked tried to kill me, but that led to worst thing to ever happen to my family. When attack struck, my mother took the blow for me. She sacrificed herself to save me. My brothers tried to bring this attacker down and avenge our mother, but all four of them were defeated in just a few blows. The attacker revealed themselves as a girl named Nui Harime, the Head Couture of REVOCS. She even told me that Ragyō ordered her to "pay me a visit" which meant she was there to kill me. I became so angry about my mother dying in my arms that I went out and tried to kill her anyway I could. My anger got the best of me and I couldn't control myself. In that moment, my red hot blood caused Sōru to lose control too and I ended up transforming into a True Dragon, the original form of us Dragons, going on a rampage to kill that devil woman.

I couldn't stop. I was so consumed by rage that I just wrecked everything in my path. Even after Harime escaped, I just didn't attacking. Luckily, my mother was able to use her magic to help me. She sang the lullaby she used to sing to me when I was little and I managed to calm down. Though my rampage was over, what I had done could never be reversed. A week later, I tried to talk to my father again, see if he had any answers to the power that Harime was using. After managing to contact him and telling him what happened, my father told me that Nui Harime was an Oni, the ancient enemy of the Dragons that no one has seen in centuries. When I asked him why that Oni would be working for Ragyō, he then told me that Ragyō was an Oni too, leading to our theory that there might be a connection between them. After that, we held my mother's memorial, but day worsened when we returned to the surface. Me and my brothers came to finding the people of Tokyo actually angry at us. Though it turned out they were angry at me. The mayor told me that what I did was unforgiveable and that he could not allow something as dangerous as me to remain in the city. So, he told me that he now banned me from Tokyo. I understood why. What happened no doubt traumatized and ruined the lives of the people, all of them were afraid of me.

Though my brothers tried to get the citizens to change their minds, I agreed to it, telling the people of Tokyo that I understood that what I did was unforgivable. I told them that I would try to regain their trust and decided to pack up and leave. My brothers confronted me as they knew I wouldn't have done this unless I had a reason to. I told them what I told the citizens, which was actually part of the truth, but they knew it had to be something more. After all the pressure they gave me, I decided to tell them the other reason I was going: I was going to go after Harime to avenge our mother. I told them I found a place where I believed I could get some answers on where Harime was and was gonna go there to see what I could find out. They asked if I was going alone and I told them I was taking Mayhem with me. At first, I thought they were trying to get me to back out, but I found out that they meant they wanted to come with me to help find Harime and avenge our mother. Even though I was against it, my brothers managed to convince to allow them to come with me. With this, we place Master Splinter's daughter Miwa in charge of Drago-Terra, packed up our stuff, left the protection of Tokyo in the hands of Gomen, Ruto, and the Mutant Squad, and left Tokyo. Me and my brothers we heading off to Honnōji Academy, a school located in Honnō Town. The town itself is run by the academy, and the academy is ruled over by Student Council President, a woman by the name of Satsuki Kiryūin.

She's the daughter of Ragyō, no doubt the firstborn who was the first placed in that experiment. Ragyō served as the academy's director. Another product by REVOCS just like The Foot. It was also our only lead to finding Harime. 3 months after we left Tokyo, we got word that Dr. Matoi had died. The man who had given us the chance to fight back by making our Kamuis and our weapons and one of the only people me and brothers considered family was now dead. No doubt his death was the work of REVOCS. First, my dad. Then Master Splinter. My mom. Now Dr. Matoi. REVOCS has now crossed the line and I was gonna make them pay. My brothers were just the same. Though what I decided to do after that was something that I ashamed to do. One night, I snuck out with Mayhem while my brothers were still asleep. I left a note telling them that and went on hitch-hiking vehicles on my way to Honnō Town. I do regret ditching my brothers to move on ahead without them knowing, but we've now already lost too many people important in our lives. We can't let the Kiryūins continue to do this. I can't let them to continue to do this. So, until my brothers can catch up, it's just me, Mayhem, and my Kamui Soruketsu. Kiryūins, I swear I'll put an end to your evil plans, make you pay for all your crimes against humanity, and avenge all those who had fallen at your hands. My name is Roku Ryū. This is my story.
