Chapter 1

It was a cold evening in the Japanese countryside, dark clouds covered the sky as if threatening to bring about a storm. A woman stood outside watching the sunset with her children, an almost two year old boy and a five month old baby girl.

As the sky darkened, the three went inside and got ready for bed. The woman put her daughter in her crib first, then proceeded to help her son into his pajamas. The young boy kept watching his bedroom window, letting out the occasional whine as if something was there, but when his mother looked she wouldn't see anything and would kiss her son on the cheek to calm him.

After about half an hour, there was a loud banging on the door. The woman grabbed her son and went to see who it could've been that late at night, but as soon as she touched the door it was knocked on top of her.

A group of American soldiers stormed in, restraining the mother as the son managed to run out the door. Before the group could ask any questions, they heard the baby girl start crying from her room upstairs. The mother yelled as some of the soldiers stormed up to grab the baby from her crib.

"This is the one. She's obviously his." One soldier said as he held the infant in one arm, making his way to his commander downstairs.

The commander nodded and the group disappeared out the door with the crying baby. The last soldiers to leave snapped the mothers neck, then set the house on fire. They wanted it to look like the house caught fire on its own, so they made sure they knocked a few candles over before the blaze got too hot for them.

The soldier that was carrying the baby walked side by side with his commander.

"Are you sure this one is going to survive experimentation, sir?"

"Of course. After all, she's the daughter of the Wolverine."
