The Beginnings of a Hero
Raiden; valiant, daring, and the most cunning of all mortals who set foot upon the earth; this is a
name that has sent shivers down the spines of human and demon alike. As the son of Lady Claire and Lord
Markus, Duke of Cymoa City, he was brought up to be the heir of his father‘s title, and ruler of the glorious
city of the North.
It was a cold and dark night where a grand ball was thrown in this very city for its heir and his
fiancée, Lady Amity, whose father reigned as duke of a noble city in the East. This upcoming wedding was
to be a historical mark in society. Two grand cities, at war for centuries, had come to peace with each other
because of this fated betrothal.
Raiden, who was known for his intellect and charm, had disappeared that night. Lost in unfamiliar
city streets, he had come across a man, limping his way down the cobblestone path, inching his way closer
to him. In a frenzied attempt to aid the cloaked stranger, an onslaught of demons had emerged from the
shadows, heading in his direction. The cloaked man had then burst into a ray of blinding light, after
transferring his powers into the boy. This had then altered his appearance, fading his pitch black hair to a
ghastly white and his once admired topaz eyes into a crimson red. Lastly, there, engraved upon his chest in a
luminescent red, was now a symbol, bearing three sixes.
On the brink of unconsciousness, a shadow then emerged from his heart, slaughtering the demons
before him, and had receded back into the depths it had come from. This very shadow was none other than
Sixx, the prince of the underworld, whose soul had been locked away by the malevolent demon X, who had
been plotting for centuries to overthrow Sixx’s father, the Devil himself and to rule over the world of
humans.
Commanding five great generals and countless number of soldiers, X was now a formidable
opponent. Now, having obtained this knowledge and all of the powers of Sixx, Raiden then dawned his
signature blood red cape, vowing that he will never see his family again until he was turned back to normal.
He then set out on his epic journey to track down X, kill him, and to return Sixx to his rightful place in Hell.
Realizing now that his powers were evil, he decided that he would use the power of darkness for good and
to save the human race from the vile rule of X and his demon minions.
A Match Made in Hell
On the way, our gallant hero had been lured by Salem, a young orphaned boy with an unusual
knack for battle strategies and technology, into a notorious death trap, controlled by the tainted evil doer,
Astaroth, who worked directly under X as one of the five great generals. Raiden had fought valiantly, but
seemed to be no match for him, whose demonic powers controlled the evil in the hearts of mortals and
manipulated it.
Salem, now seeing that what he had done, overcame Astaroth’s power, and defeated him. For his
young heart was yet to be tainted by demons of evil. Realizing that this clever child had saved him and
defeated a powerful demon such as Astaroth, he had offered for the boy to join him in his mission. Salem
had gladly accepted the offer, henceforth becoming our hero’s loyal sidekick, aiding him in countless battles
and destroying countless villains.
A Great Loss and a Great Gain
Now, our benevolent champion and his steadfast sidekick, have come across the city of the
South, disguised as two helpless vagabonds in need of shelter. Lord Azarius, the powerful ruler of this
imposing city and his beautiful daughter, Lady Mora, had welcomed Raiden and Salem with warm
hospitality.
Tired from the long journey, Raiden had decided to rest, leaving the young Salem to wander about
the palace grounds. He then discovered a hidden chamber within the palace walls, and had witnessed a
their host’s horrid secret. Lord Azarius was secretly a general of X, who had slaughtered the previous
duke and wore his skin to pass as the real one. Lady Mora was being held captive there to be killed, for she
possessed the power to purify evil within one’s soul. She was labeled as a threat to X’s imminent rule.
Salem was too late to report this drastic turn of events, for he was caught and killed by Lord Azarius, with
Lady Mora bearing witness to this heinous act of murder.
His death was slow and agonizing, but was detected by Raiden, who sensed his suffering. He
arrived to the scene as quickly as possible, unveiling his true identity, but was too late to save his young
partner. For the walls of the chamber was painted with his crimson red blood. Now, having no will to hold
back his own darkness, fought this general, and soon let the powers of Sixx take control over his actions.
Lord Azarius was soon eradicated in this epic battle of foes.
Mora soon saw through the evil that had nearly consumed his being and used her powers of
purification to calm the darkness within him. Sixx’s spirit hadn’t been destroyed, but was tamed once more.
With his mind back in reality, Raiden had grieved over the loss of Salem, who had once saved him from his
untimely death. This feeling of great loss had sent the shadow, Sixx, out of his heart and gave the boy life
again. Salem and Raiden were then reunited once more and obtained another valuable ally. Mora had
decided to join Raiden and Salem in their quest and to get her revenge upon X, who was the ringleader
behind her father’s tragic death.
The Triumphant Trio
Now, with their group completed, they have become an even bigger threat to X. Combined, they
have the powers of the underworld, heavenly purification, and childish cleverness and wit.
They have successfully defeated two of the five great generals, but will their greatest battle be
against a mere soldier? The twisted and sadistic psycho killer, Takeshi will be in our hero’s way of getting
to X.
Now they are even more determined than ever to overcome the malevolent puppet master, and
stop him from overthrowing the Devil and sending the world into its own annihilation.
