Prologue:
A soft breeze blows while the grass dance playfully in the breeze rhythm on this full moon night, the sky is clear as if there’s nothing is about to happen. On a secluded vast grassland two ninjas, one dressed in gray suit while the other dressed in peach colored suit face each other in a battle of life and death. Each of them knows every single move they gonna perform will only lead to one victor. An image of Ryu Hayabusa passed vividly on Ken Hayabusa, the peach colored ninja mind. “It’s my destiny, son” he whispers as he exchanges look with his enemy. Two of them exchange look for a while and suddenly the gray ninja dashes toward Ken. Ken noticing that his enemy is about to make his move; focus his concentration and does the same thing. Two of them then leap into the air while swinging their swords toward each other. A crisp sound of two swords collide echoes as two of them meet in mid air, while the moonlight reflects on those swords. Moments later both men land on the ground. There’s stillness aura as each of them stands with the backs turned towards each other. Ken sensing his wound is mortal falls in his knees, then all his visions gone dark…………………
“With whom did father have a duel and lose……? For what reason did he fight and die? Even I don’t know for sure. The day after he disappeared, in father’s room I found a letter addressed to me."
Ken's letter :
"Ryu, I’m on my way to a life or death duel. If it’s destiny that I don’t return, you are to take the Dragon Sword of Hayabusa family and go to America and see the archeologist, Walter Smith. Ryu, be always brave"
"I will get my revenge !” Ryu’s eyes burn in anger as he packs and sets for his journey. Destiny awaits for Ryu Hayabusa, the Ninja Dragon………
