It was a beautiful day in the village of Ignacia. You could hear the morning birds sing. The wind was blowing a nice gentle breeze, and the villagers were working hard. There you could see an old man walking up a path to a shop called the: Four Weapons.

"To forge the perfect weapon, you first need the right metal and plenty of heat, then cool it off, and presto. Oww." Said a boy with brown hair and rusty red eyes, to his sister as he finished pulling out a twisted sword he made.

"Hehehe. You made it too quickly Kai. Be patient. If father was still here, he'd say-" As his sister with black hair and brown eyes says but was cut off by her brother. Now known as Kai.

"I know~ No matter how much fire you have. Experiences aren't something you learn overnight. That might work for you, Nya but I'm gonna be a better blacksmith than Dad ever was." Kai says/complains to his sister also now known as Nya.

Just as he finishes saying that, an old man who walks in with a bamboo stick (referred to as a bo) says "Hum, your metal is loud and heavy; useful to slow one down, but useless for the art of stealth. All tools for samurai, but nothing for a ninja?"

The old man asks and states in a questioning tone, as he taps the helmet of a samurai armor set. "Ninja, heh you're a long way from finding a ninja in these parts, old man."

Kai says as he puts down the hammer and the twisted weapon he just made a minute or so down, and continues to say "and the shop is called: Four Weapons. Not for browsing." Kai says. A hint of annoyance in his voice.

"If you're not going to buy something, then go petal your insult somewhere else." He says as he points out the door, with an annoyed expression on his face.

"Humf, too bad, and here I thought I would find something special here." The old man says as he walks out of the shop. His sister Nya gives him a look as if trying to silently tell him to ask the old man to look around.

"If it's something special you're looking for," he says as he starts to walk over to a shack of weapons. Only to turn around and see no one there anymore. "Let me show you-" "What is it?" His sister asks, looking confused and concerned. "He was just," Kai pauses for a moment before continuing. "Ahh just forget it." You can see that he has a look of confusion and disdain. And with that, he gets back to work.

Meanwhile:
The people of Ignacia are busy working in the rice fields when suddenly dark clouds appear out of nowhere; startling the villagers and making them stop to look up at what was going on, and what they were doing.

On top of a hill is a skull-looking vehicle that drove on top, with a bunch of similar-looking vehicles as well.

The vehicle that seems to be the main Commander of the small baton; is three skeleton-looking creatures conversing with each other.

"Oh oh oh. Let me go first. Please let me go first. Oh please please~ I'm dying to go down there." A skeleton with an eyepatch blue shoulder pads; pleads with the other two skeletons on the weird-looking vehicle.

"Oh you nitwit, you're all already dead. Try to control yourself in front of Master Samurkai. EHEM but lord Samurkai with all due respect, last time you did say I could go first." Says a skeleton with a samurai helmet and black pointy shoulder pads.

"Sorry boys but this one's mine. Just remember what we're after, and find that map!" Says the third skeleton, presumably, the leader of the group, who is named Master Samurkai.

The leader of the skeleton army signals the rest of the group to attack the village and chase the villagers.. the people in the village grab their farming equipment and run to the army, to fight and protect their village and families, from the intruders.
