The Night

From a letter to the Mayor

Before finding my way to the Island and starting my work for you and the Colonel, I used to be a student… or more like an apprentice. It wasn’t a school or a university I went to, it was the Palace of Shadows. Hidden deep in the mountains of Asia, it’s a true jewel of ancient martial arts, wisdom, and unique combat training. Everything I know and everything I am is thanks to this place.

I recently received news that there’s a battle raging in the walls of the Palace – looks like a runaway lay brother, who was a friend of mine when we were kids, is looking for vengeance. He decided not to follow orders and rebelled instead. I cannot let this madman ruin the place that made me. I will travel there and see things done myself. The Palace is well-protected with a complicated system of doors that are never open all at once - if one door closes, another one opens somewhere else. That should keep the renegade busy for some time... If the fight takes me elsewhere, I won’t hesitate. The Palace is my true home, and I’ll do anything to protect it, I’ll fight as many opponents as I need to - no force will stop me.

The event takes place in 2 locations: Asia: Fusion and Asia: Palace of Shadows (new map)
Game mode: 3vs3vs3

Excerpts from a personal diary found in a hostel room 300 miles away from the Palace

I have no memory of my family. My first recollection is of the people at the Palace. Later, they told me that they had found me, a 3-year-old boy, in a burnt-down village. I was the only one left alive. They took care of me, fed me, and let me stay with them at the Palace of Shadows. I hoped they’d let me master the arts, but no. They said I wasn’t fit to be a ninja. In reality, they just didn’t want a common person, someone without ninja lineage to learn the art. Well, the joke’s on them – I’ve been watching them train for years, and I was training myself. Now, I know even more than anyone of them does – I’m stronger, faster, and smarter. And it’s time to take my revenge.

Sure, I may not look like one of the apprentices – I don’t have their attire. But I have my own, a costume I made for the battle upon my return. They will all remember this look as the look of wrath that came upon their heads!

And I’m not coming empty-handed. Oh no! I’m packing heat! My trusty bow Orochi and my sharp blade Serpent will tear through any wisdom and experience these fools may have – I’ve crafted them myself and know what these weapons are capable of. They’ll see… Soon!

An intercepted message addressed to someone named Spaceman

ZeeBro called me up the other day and said we gotta take a vacay to Asia, where some of the toughest fighters train and practice! I’m not the one to say no to a good trip, especially if there’s a ton of stuff worth bringing back home. So we’re going! Sunblock – check, ammo – check, grenades, and Medkits – check. Looks like we’re packed and ready to head out. I heard there’s a ton of authentic masks, insignias, skins to be had. Don’t know what exactly I want to bring back, but there’s enough to choose from. I’ll send you a selfie, bro - get well soon.
