"It's that time of the century again Kenshiro, do you have a hero worthy for us!!." A cloaked man says as a lone figure kneels before a shrine. Five towering statues loom above him, their stone eyes fixed on his bowed head.
"Yes, I hit a dead end at first, but don't fret, I have someone that would be a remarkable hero to you." Kenshiro says.
The five statues smile in unison.

"Hatchoo!!."
A boy suddenly sneezes as he jolts upright in bed.
"I hope it's a babe that's talking about me." He mutters, wiping his nose.
"Beep, beep!!."
The alarm clock blares beside him.
"Fuck, I'm late." He jumps out of bed and rushes into the bathroom, slamming the door shut.

"Miura is late again as usual, and on such an Important day like this!." A nurse in a pink uniform says anxiously as she stands beside a girl lying on a hospital bed.
"He's gonna be here, don't worry Viola, he's gonna be here." The girl says gently, offering a small smile.
"Ok, but I'm gonna chew him out when he arrives." Viola replies, folding her arms.

"Late again I see Mr Miura." A nurse with protruding boobs says as Miura sprints past her down the hallway.
"Eunice, Eunice." Miura shouts while rushing up the stairs, nearly stumbling in his panic.
"We're starting the surgery now, bring her Viola." A doctor says firmly.
"He didn't make it Eunich, I'm sorry." Viola says softly as she begins pushing the bed out of the ward.
"Miura." Eunice mutters, sadness creeping into her voice.
"Eunice!!." Miura shouts from down the corridor.
Viola and Eunice turn their heads.
"I told you'll he will make it!." Eunice says, her face lighting up with relief as they wheel her into the operating room.
"I'm sorry Eunice, I'm sorry." Miura says, tears forming in his eyes as he clenches his fists, angry at himself for being late on such an important day.

"Viola said I can't see her till the surgery is over, I'm going to suprise her with her favourite candy, so she'll forgive me for being late." Miura says awkwardly, forcing a laugh as he walks outside.
"Do it now."
The voice comes from behind him.
Before he can react, a hooded man steps out from the corner and fires multiple shots into Miura's back.
The force of the bullets sends him collapsing forward onto the pavement.
People begin to run away in fear for their lives, screaming as chaos erupts around them. The shooter disappears into the confusion.
"E, Eunice, i-, I've been shot, serves me right I guess, i-, I'm sorry." Miura whispers weakly as the life drains from his body.
Back inside the operating room—
"Brother." Eunice mutters as the anesthetic slowly pulls her into darkness.
