The Quest - Book 2 Prologue
By Eliad Sholomovich

MIDNIGHT IN A SIDE ALLEY BETOND SHADOWBANE'S PORTAL

A boom was heard. The air swirled and was charged with blue energy. It shaped into a wormhole. The Six remaining Street fighters were hurled into the concrete of the alley ruffly.

The winds howled voilently around the wormhole. Chunli arose first and rubbed her back. "You could have least given us a soft landing spot you jerk" She shouted as the portal quickly blinked out of existance.

Then they looked at their clothes.Their attire was regular steet clothes. T-shirts and jeans boots and sneakers its was random. Each was wearing his color.

"Wow finally some normal clothes. That armor was getting itchy" Mariko said Ken nodded and looked around "Well we better get moving we'll achieve nothing if we sit around here" He bluntly stated.

Ryu nodded and left alley to scout ahead.As soon as he left the alley he was wide eyed in amazment. "Guys you should take a look at this" Ryu said with a cough.

"Whats the matter? R.." Ken said before going wide eyed and mouthed as well.

"This place make NY city look tiny" Ken said They saw before them a huge city with Giant skyscrapers and thousands if not millions of lights decorating it in the black night sky.

They walked on a side walk. "But this place is different.Its much cleaner and look at that" Ryu said and pointed at the street.

A white car passed by. At least it looked like a car but it hovered on the ground without any wheels. People passed by them ignoring them and their strange behavior.

Ryu stopped a woman "Excuse me miss what city is this?" He asked polietly. She smiled "This is Neo-Tokyo" Ryu thanked her. Ken whistled "I wonder how NYC looks if this is Tokyo"

They walked down the street. "Where are we supposed to go again Sensai?" Mel asked. Ryu turned to him "Shadowbane said to join a MH organization whatever that is" Ryu answered. Mel nodded and continued walking with the group.

"But how will we find it in such a huge cuty" Chunli frowned and sighed. Then a nearby viewscreen on a building top lit up.

"Are you bored? tired of doing nothing for the world?" a voice said and a light complexioned man in a black suit said from the viewscreen.

Ryu looked confused "What the h*ll?" The Message continued "Join The MH and fight for Mankind. Help us libarte mankind. Yes you can make a difference. For enlisting come to MHHQ at Light st number 3454. And remember even a single drop make a ripple in the great sea waves. You just might be the one to change the tides of war. Don't your waste time any more and enlist now"

The viewscreen lit off.

"Well that answers our question. Lets go" Ryu said. They asked for directions and were on their way.

MEANWHILE IN A SIDEALLEY

A figure was hiding in the shadows and following the group from a safe distance.

"Master" a voice whispered into a communicator. "Master I've located the strong energy reading. It brought some humans here. I'm currently following them and I'm Awaiting further orders"

A deep voice spoke "Capture them. We shall interrogate them of their power source. It just might be our key to victory against those lowly humans". The figure nodded and its eyes lit in red. It jumped effortlessly onto a 20 story building top.

MEANWHILE

A figure was shrouded by darkness. It stood in the alley where The Sf reached the dimension.

"Doc I've located the power source. I've also located a hostile nearby What shall I do Doc?" A 6 foot figure spoke from the shadowy Alley the group left just a few minutes ago.

"Apprehand hostile Asap. Whatever the power source brought here mustn't fall into the hands of the enemy. Stop the hostile at all costs" a deep yet soft voice spoke from the Com-unit on the figure arm.

The figure nodded "Will do Doc. I'm off"

The figure leaned forward. Streams of blue fire blasted from his two hole in each one of his feet. He sailed in Incredible speed towards the Sf group's direction.
