ZERO FILES ENTRY ONE: FILLED UNDER "BEGINNING"

To: whomever it concerns.

To: whomever it concerns.

Who am I?

Are you sure you really want to know?

Are you sure that your heart can take all that I have to tell you, all that must be told to tell how I came to be?

Why I do what I must every day?

If you think this is a journal from someone unimportant, someone who never did anything worth writing about in his life... well, YOURE WRONG.

I have done something that affected an entire city, a city that is my home... a city that evolved from a crime corrupted town revelling in its own slime and parasites, to a town half cured of crime and corruption.

All because of two special girls, their names... are Rachel and Mariko Kishi.

That's right, first mask removed, Kishi as in the billionaire industrialist/philanthropist Martin Kishi of Lunar city.

Lunar city, it's a city by the bay bordering the border between two countries (U.S/Canada), a beautiful city at both day and night.

Or at least it is to those who shy away from the truth of what lurks around them in the shadows.

Predators of crime waiting to strike at the blind and unsuspecting sheep minded citizens of humanity...and punish those who take a stand against their rule.

They worked their crimes without fear, without persecution, without total justice for what they did to various innocent people.

I could make an endless list on all the abominations the criminal element of the city did, but I will say this...one night they went too far, one night they punished their last out speaker, one night...they created a monster.

A monster that's only purpose was that he would stop at nothing to eliminate all evil...and protect the innocent, even from themselves if he had to by operating outside the law as a vigilante.

I know, because that monster is me.

This is my story, but first let me shed another mask: My name is Kagae Kishi, Youngest son and only son of Martin and Eleanor Kishi.

I was only twelve years old when the first event that changed my life forever happened.

I was young, not a real worry in the world.

My world was my family, my big sister Rachel, and my older sister Mariko.

My best friend was a boy named Marty Osmond.

He was the athletic one, and full of energy and kindness. One of the best people I ever knew before I got my abilities.

We may have been best friends but we had our differences...he was a jock; I was a book nerd if you will.

Yes that's right, a child of a wealthy family...nerdy.

We were different, but we didn't let or social interests get in the way of our brotherly friendship.

But he sure had it easy!

I wasn't one of the toughest people back then, and I being so devoted to getting good grades would sometimes earn the spur of jealous kids who thought that I thought I was better than them.
