*The Story*
The Ninjitsu, or Ninja, had become the most feared warriors of their day and were feared by even the most powerful Samurai. Known as the Mystic Shadow Warriors, they were the elite fighting force of the 9th century feudal Japan. Dedicated to fine tuning their bodies into killing machines, their mastery of weapon craft, assassination, stealth and invisibility led many to believe them to be invincible if not immortal

Centuries later and only Armakuni, the Last Ninja, remains. Still as proud as ever, still as valiant in battle, he strives to further uphold the moral strengths of Good, against the persistent scourge of his arch enemy Kunitoki's relentless spread of Evil

Kunitoki is the evil Shogun of the Ashikaga clan who has long envied the powers of the Ninja and would do anything to acquire the Ninjitsu knowledge. To this end he has sworn an oath to their total destruction. This oath has led the evil Shogun into many battles with the Last Ninja, who himself has dedicated his very existence to avenging the mass slaughter of the Ninja brotherhood, centuries ago, by the twisted Shogun. Their clashes across the vortex of time and space were nothing short of epic, their hatred for one another timeless

The struggle of Good vs Evil had taken Armakuni to the island of Lin Fen, the shrine of the white Ninja to halt the wrath of Kunitoki and to protect the further teachings of the vital Koga scrolls. Armakuni had been victorious but not 100% decisive as Kunitoki slipped his graspYears later, Armakuni had been dragged across time to modern day New York, as again Kunitoki's ideas of corruption looked set to threaten modern day ideals

This was supposed to be their last battle, Armakuni's determination had sworn to that, but yet again the Shogun had slipped away. Humiliated, supposedly defeated in spirit and hopefully humbled to the fact that Good will always purvey over Evil

The struggle in New York had left the Last Ninja battle-weary from countless confrontations with Kunitoki's henchmen, distraught that his age old adversary had again eluded him, but resolute that one day his timeless mission would bear the fruits of his persistence
As time drifted by, the Ninja's role within his own society was of a rather more tranquil existence in comparison to his earlier exploits, but he knew the necessity of his work, the importance of again building a new Ninja brotherhood from his personal knowledge and the mystical teachings of the closely guarded Koga scrolls. Armakuni felt comfortable once more as the teacher and accepted his duties with great passion and commitment, as he had prior to his historic battle in modern day New York

A stronger order of Ninja slowly began to take shape as masters from the pre-New York era mingled with the young class of '91. During a strenuous training session, a strange feeling came over the class. It was as if time had abruptly stood still. As Armakuni rose from his meditating position a strange pulsating light enshrouded him. The older members of the class knew what was happening, they had seen it all before and fervently tried to calm the younger class, to ensure them that their master was safe, to educate them as to the role of spiritual Ninjitsu masters who were again calling on Armakuni, the Last Ninja, for another dangerous mission

The intensity of the light grew around Armakuni until all who were witnessing the scene were forced to cover their eyes. He knew what was happening, he knew there was unfinished business dating back many centuries. To him it felt as though his gut was turning inside out, as a deep determination coupled with his inner mystical energies began to take over and prepare him for the inevitable battles that must lie ahead. He knows who the ancient masters want him to defeat, after all he has lived for this day ever since his pride was dented by his arch enemy again escaping his grasp in New York. Relieved his masters had at last found Kunitoki again, his only apprehension was the location. Where would he have to ply his trade? What new time scale would he have to become accustomed to? How much more advanced would the new realm of Kunitoki's henchmen be in battle? And ultimately how strong had his deadly rival been allowed to grow in the time lapsed since their last meeting? No doubt all these questions would be answered in time as slowly Armakuni woke from the darkness of deep sleep

Never was Armakuni's task more important. Never would the unacceptable result of failure be more damaging. It would seem that New York was just the beginning. Their distaste for each other has grown for centuries, but then..

Real hatred is timeless
