We can just about make out some kind of structure in a lake...a wooden platform, square and on legs. In the center is a tall pole, almost like a flagpole. A group has gathered to watch the platform, listening intently to the silence now in the air...the sound of water, splashing, followed by a more solid thud of foot on wood. The steps continue, and from the darkness they appear...the mystery team that will face F.E.M. In one hand of one is a bright light, blocking the light from their faces. In the other woman's, she holds a sword, shining in the bright light, its razor edge intimidating as always. They walk to both corners of the platform, darkness blocking them from sight.
Friends…
Some rabble from the crowd already, even one shouts in Japanese. One of them raises her hand to silence them once again, before continuing.
...many thanks for your attendance tonight. The weather is great here in Kawasaki, this world storms around us, yet you brave the mystery of nature itself to watch us debut...this clearing is a blessing from the shoguns.
The air seems to stop blowing, every breath and sound from the mystery team booming over the people.
Tomorrow...you all witness us move to the next phase...you all enter the new age..the age of...ah, you don't get to know our names yet. Our arrival has been heralded, the SSS will never be the same. The future is unclear, it twists and writhes like a snake, forever changing its direction, but we must remain strong now, as our time is near…
It has to start somewhere, it has to start sometime. What better place than here, what better time than now?
The crowd calmly claps as the Japanese do. The mystery team disappears back into the darkness...
