Chapter One: Introduction
Sometimes people have nightmares, dreams of big hairy monsters underneath their beds or in their closets. Some people have superstitions, beliefs that bad luck will come their way if they do not perform certain rituals. Some people have fears, terrifying wonder of what lurks in the dark corners of their house or just outside their windows. The one thing all these things have in common is the fact that most of society writes them off as "fake" and the people who believe them are written off as having "overactive imaginations". The monster under your bed is just the result of reading a scary story or eating the wrong food before laying down to sleep. Superstitions are just silly traditions that will never really have an effect on anything in your life. Fears are just challenges that can be overcome with courage. But what if these things are not fake? What if we have a reason to be afraid? Society likes to write away the uncertain or unexplainable as fiction, rather than accept it as a fact that has not yet been fully discovered. They fear the unknown and like to believe that their world is safer if they block it all out. They try to find a "reasonable theory" to explain away anything new or different to them. What they do not realize is that some things are not meant to be explained. Some things are just beyond human comprehension. While their claims that all these things are fiction is false, their fear of them is still valid in some cases. We are not alone on this planet. We never were and we never will be. There is more out there than anyone could ever discover in a single lifetime. There is more out there than anyone, believer or not, could ever hope to discover. Some things in the unknown exist to help, others are completely harmless, but there are some that exist simply to cause harm to anything that comes across their paths. The helpful things in the unknown are usually associated with light colors and soft shapes. They exist to make creatures feel better in times of need, think clearly in times of crisis, and to help other creatures pass on this gift of help to one another. Some children are known to have invisible, or "imaginary", friends who keep them company when they are lonely. Parents of these children encourage this because they believe the their child is being imaginative. In reality, this "imaginary" friend is an unknown element sent to help the child through a hard time. When these "imaginary" friends suddenly disappear as the child gets older, it is actually because the child has overcome whatever the issue was that was bothering them or because the child has learned how to cope with their problem. When adults sense that something is wrong before it happens, it is called having a "sixth sense". This is actually that same unknown element, sent to help the adult realize that something important is about to happen. However, not all of these unknown elements are invisible. Some of them take on the form of teddy bears, security blankets, dolls, heirlooms of loved ones, or anything else that holds a lot of emotional value to the person they are trying to help. Blending in is important to them, as they do not want to cause alarm and add to the problem they were sent there to prevent. The harmless things in the unknown exist for very little reason other than to relieve the boredom of creatures. They have a very slight ability to cause joy and panic, but since they have very little power, these emotions are not even noticeable most of the time. These unknown elements can play small pranks on creatures, such as blowing hair or causing a chill down a spine. They also have the power to make small things such as small dishes or cups shatter at times, though this activity is much more draining so they tend to avoid doing it most of the time. They are mostly invisible, but can take on the form of shadows at times. They are usually the thing you see out of the corner of your eye in a public place but that you can never quite catch a glimpse of. The stronger of these unknown elements also have the ability to cause creatures to trip or fall. They love hearing laughter and excitement so they tend to stay around places populated mostly by small children. The things in the unknown that exist simply to cause harm are the ones you need to worry about. These things are dangerous and sometimes even deadly. The harmful things in the unknown enjoy seeing the pain they cause other creatures more than anything else. These things have been known to stop at nothing to defeat an enemy. Worst of all, every creature they come across is a potential enemy to them, no matter how innocent it may be in reality. Children often wake in the night terrified for their lives because one of these harmful unknown elements has entered their dreams to torment them. Creatures sometimes wake up crying and cannot remember why they are feeling so scared because of these unknown elements. These are the creatures we need to prepare ourselves for. They have the ability to cause freak accidents and mental breaks, causing harm to creatures, causing them to harm each other, and causing them to harm themselves. The more pain they can cause, the better they feel. They look for situations where causing harm to one person can lead to the suffering of others. You hear all the time about creatures killing each other for unexplained reasons, this is the result of one of these harmful unknown elements getting into the head of that creature, causing them to kill. These unknown elements are truly evil.
No matter if they are good, harmless, or evil unknown elements, they will still cause panic among creatures if their identities are exposed. That is where our company comes into play. We exist to keep all unknown elements secret. We work very hard to make sure that no creature has the ability to expose an unknown element to the public eye, sometimes resorting to mind-altering techniques to do so. To someone on the outside, this may seem extreme, but we have let creatures go in the past and they have caused all kinds of chaos for us by trying to tell their tale, forcing us to track them down all over again.
The most common unknown elements we deal with are unknown elements who disguise themselves as professional wrestlers. They have found the perfect hiding place amongst all the shenanigans and oddities in the world of professional wrestling, as their unique qualities do not seem out of place to the creatures they associate with. A lot of people believe that the professional wrestling persona they see is just a human being playing a part, but more often than not, it is an unknown element that has taken on a human form in an attempt to blend in more. You may ask why these unknown elements choose professional wrestling as opposed to just going out into the human world under normal circumstances. The answer is that, even in human form, some of the habits that the unknown elements have come across as strange to the general public. In the professional wrestling world, they simply appear to be playing a part. These elements are mostly neutral on moral grounds. However, there are some evil elements that live in the world of professional wrestling that are out to cause harm and others that fight the evil unknown elements and keep them from doing harm.
One of the more well known helpful elements in the professional wrestling world goes by the name of Shark Boy. He is sometimes employed directly by us to fight off evildoers, whether of unknown origin or not. His appearance makes him seem like a human who should not be taken seriously to other humans, but what they do not realize is that this is just a cover to throw off evildoers. In reality, Shark Boy is one of our most dangerous allies and is a highly successful crime fighter, taking down some of the most notorious of the unknown elements we have ever seen.
Our most feared opponents in our fight to keep the world safe from evil unknown elements include Vince McMahon and Samoa Joe. They are highly dangerous and will stop at nothing to get what they want. For Vince McMahon, this goal is world domination. For Samoa Joe, this goal is simply to eliminate as many people as possible, regardless of innocence. We have special forces trained specifically to take out both of these threats, if need be. There is already an attack force in place for Samoa Joe, as he has proven to be a massive threat to society.
Vince McMahon tends to keep to himself and is only dangerous to the public when his power and domination over others is threatened. We have learned that as long as his ego is not in harm's way, he will not execute any attacks on the world as a whole. He enjoys torturing unsuspecting wrestling fans with uninteresting matches featuring bulk muscle with no talent. His weapon of choice is death by boredom. His only known weakness is big, bulky professional wrestlers with very little ability.
Samoa Joe, on the other hand, takes pleasure in murdering any creature that crosses his path. We are currently working to track him down and eliminate him forever, our only problem is that he has no known weaknesses. It is unknown how many victims Samoa Joe truly has to his name, as the numbers continue to increase day by day as more are found. He travels by mini horse and carries a weapon that is said to be as shockingly disturbing as it is deadly. None of his known victims have ever survived an attack.
