"This is the only way I can stop Tylon."

"No! I won't leave you."

"Don't argue! Go now!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

That was 8 years ago, on the day that the Tylon Foundation fell. A company that used its power to put horrific tests on people, turning them into beastmen 'zoanathropes' had ended. A group of zoanathropes fought against it and brought about its destruction. But a legacy still remains. A legacy that will soon be revealed…

"Hey, wait up Kenji!"

"You better hurry before I leave!"

"Ughhh. You're such a meanie!"

"Hmm. Let's go."

Kenji Ohgami and Uriko Nonomora rode off on Kenji's bike. Uriko was shouting in the back to go faster, much to Kenji's dismay. They were just about to leave the school area when they pasted a group of kids crowding in a circle. In the middle, three large boys were ganging on one boy. Kenji recognized one of the large boys as Derrick. He was the school bully and often picked on little kids for fun. Kenji then looked at the smaller boy. The boy was dark skinned with medium black hair. His clothes were partly torn and he was cut near one of his eyes. Normally, Kenji would have left it alone and let the teachers handle it. But then he saw the boy's fighting stance.

"That stance…"

"Leave him alone!"

Unfortunately, Uriko had other ideas. Disturbing his thoughts, she jumped off Kenji's bike and ran toward the group. Kenji let out a low sigh and ran after her. However, they had stopped when they saw the situation. Apparently, the boy had done his own share of damage and the three bullies had busted noses and black eyes. Nevertheless, Uriko jumped into the fray next to the boy.

"Why don't you pick on someone your own size, Derrick."

"Well, well. Looks like the new kid has a girlfriend!"

The three were about to move in again, but Kenji strode in, his eyes locked on Derrick. Derrick backed off a bit. When Kenji had first come to school, Derrick began to pick on him. It turned out to be a big mistake. Kenji had gotten into a fight with him and broke his nose. True, they were suspended for it, but Derrick never picked on him again.

"Oh, its you Kenji. You want some of this too?"

Kenji remained silent, keeping his gaze on him. He knew Derrick had no desire to repeat what had happened before. Derrick began to back off more and then he waved off to his companions.

"Come on, guys. This isn't worth our time."

As everyone left, Kenji and Uriko stayed with their friend. Uriko checked his wounds while Kenji stayed beside her.

"Those guys are nothing, but bullies. Don't you think so?"

"........."

"What's the matter? Are you hurt?"

"……."

"Well, you can at least say thank you."

"...Thank you."

"There now. That's better. What's your name?"

"........."

My name is Uriko Nonomara. But you can call me Uriko." She then waved her arm toward Kenji. "And this is my friend Kenji."

The guy stayed quiet and Uriko was getting a little frustrated.

"Geez, you're just like Kenji."

"My name is Shin."

Uriko smiled a bit," Wow, that's just like Master Long's name. What about your last name?"

"I...I don't have one really."

Uriko gave a puzzled face, "That's it?"

Kenji stepped forward, "We shouldn't pry, Uriko."

"Oh, yeah you're right. I'm sorry."

"It's okay."

Uriko then look back at his wounds, "We better get those taken care off before they become infected. I know! My sister Alice could help. She's a nurse."

"A nurse."

"Yeah, she can help you right up." She grabbed the boy's arm. "Come on."

Shin looked a little worried. "Um...well. Are you sure?"

"Yeah, it'll be no problem. Now come on."

Shin turned to Kenji, who just shrugged his shoulders.

"Don't worry. She tends to do this a lot."

Despite his appearance, Kenji was wary of the stranger. The fighting stance he displayed. I've seen it somewhere before. But where?
