Chapter 1

At 2:30am, it was another late night for Special Agent Sonya Blade at the FBI headquarters base. Sonya had volunteered to work overnight to catch up on some reports that demanded her attention. She had recently been tasked to investigate supernatural attacks occurring in the US. Over the last four months, she noticed an increase in disturbances that produced a lot of collateral damage. Slowly sipping her coffee, Sonya was staring at one of two computer screens on her desk. The first screen detailed incident reports by victims, the second screen was displaying various satellite mapping images of the locations of these attacks.

Sonya had spent months researching these disturbances by reviewing reports from surviving victims, archived news footage of eye witness accounts as well as video uploads through various social media outlets. Despite her extensive research, Sonya often came to a dead end as to the cause of these disturbances. All she knew, however, was that these attacks were increasing with frequency and were only going to get worse if the FBI couldn't get a handle on them.

She was reading a report of the most recent disturbance that occurred the night before. A massacre on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, CA had resulted in the deaths of at least 150 civilians with at least 100 more injured. It was described as a horrific tragedy .There were eye witnesses that had reported seeing gruesome looking humanoid figures during the attacks. Their faces almost appeared deformed; monstrous even, with yellowish snake like eyes and large sharp teeth. As if that was not horrifying enough, these humanoids had blades that were protruding from their arms. Other witnesses described seeing these monstrous beings enter from a fiery ring and would also drag people through them.

Sonya was watching a graphic Facebook Live video posted by a surviving victim of the Golden Gate Bridge massacre. In the video, the victim is yelling into his phone camera describing events unfold while he was running through the chaotic scene. Sonya sat motionless as she watched people flee from their cars. Other cars were derailed into the sides of the bridge from the chaos. Sonya could see victims that laid dead with slashed throats, and a few were decapitated.

The victim continued to run through the bridge which was littered by dead bodies and severed heads on the ground. Suddenly, the victim dropped his phone and after a short pause, he is seen falling to the ground. Moments later, the young man is approached by the monstrous humanoid. Sonya's mouth dropped. "What in God's name was THAT?" she said. Then Sonya's eyes widened in horror as she saw the humanoid man start to violently stab the victim multiple times in the abdomen.

Sonya then noticed a fiery ring appear behind the monstrous humanoid. A mysterious man that appeared like a ninja stepped out of the ring. He wore yellow and black colors, a golden mask on his face and his black hair was tied back into a small bun. He also sported a black scorpion tattoo on his left arm. The ninja approached the monstrous figure and with a quick circular motion of his hands, he was able to set him on fire.

Sonya sat there completely stunned; she doubted if what she saw was real, and questioned the authenticity of the video. She then tried to search through more social media reels to try to collaborate what she saw from the Facebook Live video. Sure enough, there were several more videos uploaded that depicted the exact same scene. She also came across a video featuring another ninja, wearing black and gray colors, with smoke coming from his body. He appeared to be assisting the yellow clad ninja in fighting the humanoid monsters.

Sonya looked at her watch; it was now 3:00am. Sonya typed a brief email with a summary of her findings to her her partner, Curtis Stryker. She let him know that she would have a detailed report no later than 10:00am that morning. She decided that she would pack up for the rest of the night and head home for at least a few hours of sleep.

Sonya walked from the base to her truck. There were hardly any cars at that time of the night, so the parking lot was fairly secluded. As Sonya started to open her truck, two black cloaked figures threw a dark plastic bag over her face. She violently struggled to get free but the mysterious men over powered her. Kicking and screaming, Sonya was thrown into the back of a moving black van. With what little visibility she had, Sonya lunged forward in an effort to try to escape the van, but she was quickly knocked out from the side of her head. Everything faded to black.
