After winning the tournament held by Esdeath, instead of Tatsumi, 23 year old Hanzo Hasashi is forced to join the Jaegers. He yields the Teigu "Netherrealm Flames", and his weapon of choice has given him the nickname "Scorpion". With this new, deadl...
Our story begins in a village far from the Capital, hidden from the eyes of the emperor and the nobles. The village had no name, and its inhabitants were all members of the ninja clan known as the Shirai Ryu.

The clan always fought to aid their brethren and bring glory to the clan. To all, the clan was their family, but none more so than it was to Hanzo Hasashi.

A pair of eyes staring into his. They held a look of satisfaction at the prospect of having just wiped out the Shirai Ryu clan single handedly.
Scorpion's eyelids began to feel heavy and close, but he knew if he did, he would never wake again. The pain began to go away though, as the weight soon began to overtake his stubbornness to die. He took one last look at the Lin Kuei dog that had decimated his family...

And closed his eyes for good.
His eyes shot open to reveal a alien place. He sat up in the bed he was laying in, and took in his surroundings. He seemed to be in a hut of sorts, one filled to the brim with potions and alchemy ingredients placed on shelves and counters.
