-65 Years Ago, 1963, Location: Dallas, Texas, USA-

(At exactly 1:00 PM in Dallas, Texas, America was suffering one of their most tragic events in recorded history, the Assassination of John F. Kennedy by an unknown assailant. As agents across the country researches to find the assassin, the Global Government and Kataude, the strongest Superhuman in the world were under an emergency briefing, regarding the assassination of a United States President in the main location, New York City within the building of the United Nations.)

"Shen Solomon Jr. (Age: 48 | Global Government Leader): Kataude, you were called here for this urgent briefing for an urgent assignment! There is no time to waste so I'll come right out to the point. We've lost American President, John F. Kennedy to an unknown assassin and now that damn assassin has blended in with the crowds in Texas!"
"Kataude: ...!! President Kennedy..?! How..!!"
"Shen: According to the reports, someone saw the assailant flash through a sea of bystanders to get to Kennedy. This assassin managed to slit his throat with something as sharp as a sword..."
"Kataude: ...As sharp as a sword, flashes through a crowd... Sirs, I will assure you this right now. There's only one man I know who could cut like that, and he's no ordinary threat. As of this moment, issue an emergency lockdown to Texas immediately, no one gets in, no one comes out."
"Shen: Who the hell could be this dangerous to go to such lengths?!"

(With a dramatic setting to the conversation, Kataude then answers his question.)

"Kataude: The Self-Proclaimed Dragon Warrior, Xin Sui."

(With the name shocking Shen's face, Shen then orders two Government Agents to his side.)

"Shen: YOU TWO! ALERT THE STATE OF TEXAS, IMMEDIATE LOCKDOWN! NO ONE GETS IN, NO ONE GETS OUT, SEND IN ALL FORCES POSSIBLE TO CAPTURE THE ASSAILANT AT ALL COSTS!!"

(As the order was then given, Texas was under an immediate lockdown as the assailant was somewhere in the state of Texas. With another hour flying by, the arrival of Military helicopters were arriving within Texas and Marine Corps agents parachuting out of the skies, landing at the site of JFK's assassination. Arriving were multiple notable captains, including one High-Ranking Marine, a family member of the Ackermans.)

"Gregory H. Ackerman (Age: 56 | Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps | Korean War Veteran): So this is where Kennedy was killed... According to Kataude, the Dragon Warrior should be in Texas somewhere. Now where to start the search for him...?
"???: No need to go on a hunt for me, when I'll kill you where you stand!"

(With an aura of darkness surrounding the very streets of Dallas, Gregory then prepares for combat with multiple gun armed Marines were prepared to fire on sight when they catch Xin.)

"Gregory: Show yourself!"

(With Xin then appearing in the middle of the street, the armed Marines would begin to open fire, directly shooting Xin as Gregory then realizes with minimal movement, Xin is avoiding each bullet fired at him.)

"Gregory: Cease fire! He's not being hit by bullets..!"
"Xin: Might want to try a little harder if you people want me dead, MY TURN!"

(Without a second to react, Gregory scarcely blocks in time as the force of impact, creates a pushback of wind, blasting the unready Marines away from the two as Gregory and Xin begins to fight hand to hand as the arrival of multiple fighter jets were circling the area of Xin and Gregory, ready to kill when given the order.)

"Gregory: Nobody intervene, this is an order from your Sergeant Major!"
"Xin: Gonna actually try and fight me yourself huh? You're a bold yet pathetic old man!"
"Gregory: Boy... Not even God will save you when we throw your ass in prison."

(With Xin releasing an audible roar of an angry predator, he and Gregory would begin to fight hand to hand. Xin using the arts of Kung Fu and Karata as Gregory would instinctively fight using both his Boxing experience and his MMA training. As Xin was faster in speed, there was one thing Xin could not surpass Gregory in, experience. With Xin being blasted across the face with an overhead right hook, Xin presses his hands onto the ground, attempting for a push-up before landing a powerful double kick to Gregory's chin, flipping in the air before stomping down onto his feet, rushing back into Gregory at close combat and lands a striking elbow shot to the nose, drifting Gregory to one knee as his chin was then bruised and his nose somewhat broken. as Gregory then cracks his neck and his knuckles, giving the confidential smirk.)

"Gregory: Not bad! But there's one thing you need to learn kid..."
"Xin: ..! Tch, stay DOWN!"
"Gregory: And that's to never underestimate a fighter who can fight!"

(As Xin rushes back into the fight, Gregory tightens his fist and delivers a deafening jab, the quickness of the attack sends a streak of blood to coat onto the street as Gregory's strength and speed was increased. Xin then throws an incoming sidekick, Gregory dodges the kick and lands a decisive gut blow, landing two left hooks and right uppercut, the sound of such cracking Xin's jaw as Xin was then blasted into the air before backflipping, landing on one knee as Xin then looked up at Gregory closing in on his very face. With the street being blasted with a noticeable gust of debris from the collision, Xin manages to escape in time with his left face revealing a purple bruised color as his eye from the attack was then bloodshot after a blood vessel managed to pop from the assault.)

"Xin: ..! D-Damn it...! How the fuck... Is an old man stronger.. and better..?!"
"Gregory: Experience."

(With Gregory walking through the smoke cause by the crater he has created with his bare strength, Xin would then slide both of his feet together before easing his body, keeping himself in a Karate stance as Gregory then cracks his knuckles one by one as he continues to speak.)

"Gregory: When you're as old as me, someone who's survived and fought in two wars for countless years with thousands of lives to carry on your very back, experience is your truest strength. You as a 29 year old, failed to see that and now you've killed a president. You're immature, you see power as an excuse to fight when physical power is nothing more than an attribute and should only be one, not one's ambition."

(As both Military and Marine Corps Agents began to surround the two, mainly targeting the injured Xin Sui as Xin then positions himself to fight and roars once more, throwing weakened punches as the punch he barely escaped has almost killed Xin for he could no longer run as Gregory blocks attack by attack as Xin continued to fight despite his vision eventually blacking out and the entire left side of his body would then shut down, leaving him in a state where he can no longer defend himself or fight.)

"Gregory: Your very actions has lead you to this moment, Xin Sui. By order of the United States and the Global Government, you are under arrest."

(With one last ear-ringing blow to the face of Xin Sui, Gregory has successfully captured the president's assassin on the same day of the assassination...)

-25 Years Later, 1988. Location: ADX Florence, Florence, Colorado, USA-

(Inside the inescapable fortress of ADX Florence, home of the world's most horrifying criminals in existence, Gregory H. Ackerman whom is now 76 years old visits the prison with his son, Richard H. Ackerman whom was of the age 18 as Richard was looking at many notable names within the cells.)

"Richard H. Ackerman (Age: 18 | Gregory Ackerman's Son): Whoa.. There are so many scary names here... So are we visiting any of these criminals, dad?"
"Gregory H. Ackerman (Age: 76 | Captain Of The Marine Corps): No, son. Where I'm taking you is someone who's far more dangerous than any other prisoner in this prison."

(With Gregory and his son then accompanied by armed guards with fully loaded rifles, they'd venture deeper down ADX Florence and even passes the Range 13 cells before entering a nearby elevator, taking them 15 miles below the Earth's crust as they were then approached by a row of 5 heavily armed doors. With Richard then a little nervous by the high technology, the final door would open, revealing a chained yet injured Xin Sui, chained to the ground and both arms in the air as he locked against the wall and held down by an increased gravity pad planted on said wall as he was in an unconscious state.)

"Gregory: There he is. The "Dragon Warrior" Xin Sui, and well, he calls himself that."
"Richard: ...! W-Well... He's scary, but.. what did he do?"
"Gregory: ..Its not what he do boy, it's what he did. Between 1947 and 1963, he's killed an estimated count of 200,000... Many Martial Artists were killed by an unfair child.. His crimes doesn't even end there, but the one thing that this very man did in 1963, assassinated our president, in OUR home state."
"Richard: ....H-He.. Killed President Kennedy..?"
Gregory: That's right. Ever since we've had him transferred to Colorado and placed in this very cell, fifteen miles under the Earth's crust."
"Richard: ...Um.. D-Do you ever think that, Xin Sui might escape..?"
"Gregory: Escape?"

(The guards and Gregory himself would full heartedly laugh at Richard's question as he then felt a bit embarrassed.)

"Gregory: There's a reason this very prison is called "the Alcatraz of the Rockies", my son. Everyone who's stepped foot past the first gates of the ADX Florence has never gotten out. Even if there was any way for him to escape, it's pointless. The guns here are motion activated along with high voltage walls if he attempts to climb out to escape, triple layers of steel within the ground and of course, laser rifle armed guards!"
"Richard: I suppose there's nothing to fear then-"
"Gregory: OF COURSE THERE IS! The fear of not watching this poor boy suffer in prison without a meal to eat!"
"Richard: Oh- Well I am quite hungry."
"Gregory: Then to the cafeteria we go!"

(As the guards would return to their posts, the rows of gates would slam shut as Xin's eyes snaps open for he was in full anger, awaiting for the smallest chance to free himself from his very prison...)

-February 23rd, 2009, Time: 9:30PM | Location: ADX Florence, Florence, Colorado, USA-

(With Superhumans invading the Western Hemisphere and even America, security was tightened around the clock in ADX Florence as Xin was given his 20th syringe shot by executioners, hoping this would kill him eventually.)

"Guard #1: Is that the last of them?"
"Doctor #1: That's all twenty!"
"Guard #1: Good. Even a Superhuman wouldn't be able to handle 20 Lethal Injections. Lets move out-"

(Xin would begins roaring in agonizing pain from the poison within his body. With his body suspended to the wall, Xin's eyes would begin revealing blood leaking from the tear ducts as Xin's body was defying itself from the gravity pad, shocking the guards as they were prepared to fire.)

"Guard #1: ..A-ALERT MR. ACKERMAN, SOMETHING'S GONE HAYWIRE!"

(With one of the three guards gone, Xin's body began growing noticeable veins throughout his body, blood rushing from his head to his feet as the doctors would quickly escape as Xin's legs were then separated from each other as the lasers were then firing at last at Xin, the sounds of whirring lasers would strike the body of the of Xin, along with the two guards immediately firing. With the motion sensing guns then out of ammo after use of full auto, the guards would halt firing as they realized a horrifying fact, Xin's body was SOMEHOW undamaged severely...! As the metal began to bend and creak even further, Xin would then snap the metal chains, freeing himself with his legs as the guards immediately in fear were rushing to the elevator to call immediate backup while set the entirety of ADX Florence under lockdown.)

"Guard #2: CODE RED! CODE RED! LOCKDOWN ADX FLORENCE, IMMEDIATELY!!"

(With the button then pushed, the entire prison went under immediate lockdown as the guards called down the emergency elevator. With the walls then forcefully activated, the walls would begin to circuit volts up to over 50,000 to shock Xin along with the floors eventually being electrified. As Xin then pressures his feet onto the gravity pad, he would then propel himself from the deactivated pad, kicks upward as his foot would then shatter his hand chains, rushing on all fours towards the guards as his speed was more unexpected. With the elevator arriving, Xin would then murder both of the guards instantaneously, stealing the high speed elevator as the cameras then revealed, Xin's escape.)

"Watchman #1: XIN IS FREE!!! I GOTTA WARN THE GOVERNMENT...!"

(As the Global Government was immediately called specifically the newly formed Nine Gods of Combat, they were all then warned, including Kataude of the incident in ADX Florence as Xin Sui was on the verge of escape. Meanwhile in the prison, Xin would've made out out of his specific cell, rushing past the Range 13 cells as prisoners were aware of the lockdown but unaware of who's causing it due to their soundproof walls. As Xin's chains rushes and scrapes past the steel doors as Xin with the aura of evil eroding around him would use his prison chains as additional weapons against bullets or melee attackers as Xin rushes through each corridor he rushes down to make it to the outside.)

"Guard #3: FIRE AT WILL!"

(With gunshots being blasted toward Xin, a noticeable blur would be seen by an armored guard, with him halting the barrage of bullets, the armored guard would rush in before Xin with the smoke as a screen appears behind the armored guard, delivering a powerful Rabbit Punch to the back of the skull, the recoil within the guard's body creating a chain of tremors as ligaments within the neck would tear and snap, killing the guard with one blow as Xin once again using the smokescreen would slaughter past another corridor of guards, exits being blocked left and right by dead ends or heavily armed guards. With time flying by, the Marines would have arrived once again outside of ADX Florence as roaring within the prison frightens the security blocking the exits out of ADX Florence. Outside of the prison is Richard and Gregory Ackerman, both ready to fight when necessary.)

"Gregory: ...So he's escaping?"
"Richard: How strong could he have gotten?"
"Gregory: It shouldn't even be possible, ADX Florence's technology checks off every box to hold even Kataude in prison..."
"Richard: So what caused him to gain this amount of power in such time?"
"Gregory: I don't know, but the only way to find out is an autopsy. Which is why under no circumstances do he leave this prison alive!"

(As fighter jets were then stationary with missiles, helicopters were revving their miniguns and Marine Corps officers were preparing their standing positions for gunfire, they awaited Xin's escape from the doors. With things in the prison seeming quiet, the steel doors would begin to be pounded against, those out in front noticing the very sounds as the doors would begin to have imprinted dents with multiple spotlights from the helicopters were shined onto the door. With the audible roar of a creature-like being behind the doors, the steel doors would at last begin to collapse off of it's hinges, collapsing onto the floor as audible footsteps were heard, revealing a bloody, dragon-like Xin Sui who has finally entered the Superhuman Awakening.)

"Government Agent: ..! HE'S A SUPERHUMAN, OPEN FIRE!!"

(With the mix of bullets, missiles and tank fire landing directly onto Xin as smokescreens would coat over the night sky and the spotlights as Xin with a low growl, rushes out of the smokescreen unscathed as more bullets were being fired by helicopters and the gunman on the ground as Xin would use the ripped chains which remain strapped to his wrists as extended weapons, slashing through the rows of gunman as Gregory rushes in to fight Xin hand to hand.)

"Gregory (Thinking): He's unscathed..! Could this be his awakening...?"
"Richard: Holy hell! Its like he's-"

(With a quick streak of blood splashing onto Richard's face, he was then shocked to see headless corpses of the Marines Gunman fly over the heads of the barricade then collides onto the closed steel gates.)

"Xin: ...I've had to rot in jail for 46 YEARS BECAUSE OF YOU, ACKERMAN!!"
"Gregory: And even if it costs me my damn life, I will NOT let you leave this prison alive!"

(With rocket launchers then at arms of more reinforced Marine Gunman begins firing at Xin, the increased speed of Xin would be the biggest factor to Xin's escape as he kicked each missile out of range and blasts either inside ADX Florence's busted down doors or into the steel gates on either side. With Gregory closing in, a powerful punch was delivered once again to the gut of Xin as it manages to hurt him, revealing melee attacks would be his only weakness during his awakening.)

"Gregory: MEN! GUNS AND ROCKETS ARE NO LONGER AFFECTIVE, MELEES WILL WORK!"

(With Xin now on the attack, the awakened one's martial prowess would increase for each passing minute, allowing Xin to land quick and unprecedented attacks, throwing Gregory off of his balance. With Richard then rushing in to block the next attack, Richard pays the price after blocking an overhead chop with Xin delivering a Whip Kick to the face of Richard with the back of his foot which is also a known Taekwondo technique, blasting Gregory's own son into the steel gates, spitting out a hefty amount of saliva as the impact forced him to churn his back in pain. With Gregory then shuffling his very feet, he'd rush in toward Xin with connecting body shots, uppercuts, hooks and jabs as Xin would turn the amount of pain he was feeling into power built up into his right arm.)

"Gregory: THIS, IS FOR MY SON! YOU DIE RIGHT HERE AND NOW!"

(With Gregory landing a destructive left rear uppercut, Xin would begin to collapse to the ground before stomping his right foot onto the ground to anchor himself as Gregory was then unable to move from the presence of an awakening evil. With Xin then faster than Gregory could predict, he'd attempt to back away in time but it was too late.)

"Xin: LIKE HELL I AM!!!"

(With Gregory immediately on the offensive, Xin would continue to parry, counter and dodge any incoming attack before using the built strength within his right arm to deliver an unexpected backhand to the face, blasting Gregory across the ground as he skids on his feet to avoid crashing any further.)

"Gregory: NNGH..! The hell w-was that..?! That backhand was lethal... This is it..."

(As Gregory was beginning to become outclassed, it was now only a matter of time before the inevitable were to happen. Gregory shuffles his feet before delivering a thunderous quick jab, fast as lightning before the match was then decided. Gregory closes in on Xin to end the fight with a destructive Right Cross Punch after switching into an orthodox stance. Before the punch could connect, Xin blocks the attack with his very wrist, grips the right hand of Gregory, leaps in midair over his head, twisting his right arm into the opposite direction before blindsiding Gregory with two fingers to both eyes, piercing through both eyeballs, shocking the men watching the fight.)

"Agents: GREGORYYY, NOOO!!!"

(With Gregory given a painful and unfair advantage for he has lost his sight, Xin releases an audible, horrifying and maniacal laugh then delivers his own destructive uppercut, along with the silhouette of a dragon revealing itself flying from the center of the back to the fist of the right handed uppercut as the strike launches Gregory into the air, crashing into one of the army trucks, crashing through said truck for it was then split in half, the terrified Marines would look on at the bloody Xin Sui, realizing that they were now able to see the markings of the Dragon across his arms toward his exposed back.)

"Xin Sui (Age: 75 | Escapee of ADX Florence | Nickname: Dragon Warrior) : Now... Let the world know, I am Xin Sui... THE TRUE DRAGON WARRIOR!"

(With the roar of a Dragon was the last thing anyone that night has heard, Richard would then eventually awaken, realizing what has happened, the aftermath of the battle with 473 killed Marine Officers, 4 downed helicopters and more than twenty dispatched ambulances to ADX Florence with the SWAT Team watching over ADX Florence, insuring there are no other escapees. With some time to process the situation, he'd rush to his father as Gregory was knocked unconscious in one hit and was being transported by helicopter to New York where he will be treated in a confined building, away from the public eyes.)

"Richard: DAD...! DAD, CAN YOU HEAR ME..?! DADDD!!"
"Paramedic #1: Stand back, we need to get him on board!"
"Richard: I'M GOING WITH HIM!"
"Paramedic #2: Let him go, Mr. Gregory wouldn't like it that his son's not on board with him."
"Richard: Thank you... What the hell happened...?"
"Paramedic #1: Its a massacre, Xin Sui escaped ADX Florence... There's no clue where the hell he could be now..."
"Richard: ...Father... I swear, if it takes me to the rest of my life, I will find Xin Sui and bring him back in myself!!"

(With the news being told to Richard, the world was now under a panic that Xin Sui, the Dragon Warrior, was now the first man in history to ever escape ADX Florence, the toughest American Supermax Prison in the United States and was placed at the very top of the Most Wanted List for countries across the WORLD...)
