A lone figure walks down the road.  His features covered by his traveling 
clothes.  He reaches his destination and looks about.  He frowns and 
pulls out a ancient flute of ivory and plays the haunting tune he knows 
will bring them to him...

Allegra Zodiak looks up as the song's melody plays through her soul and 
calls to her, demands for her to go to them...

Sinae bows her head as the powerful pull brings her to her feet and she 
walks...

Bara flips her tennis racket into its sheathe and runs a hand through her 
close cropped blond hair.  She takes to the rooftops and runs to the 
source...

Musica Zodiak raises her head from her meditaions and frowns.  She doesn't 
want to go, but she cannot deny the summons...

Virgo Celestra looked over the spanning city of Tokyo from her vantage 
point on the roof of Furinkan High School.  

Rumiko Sarugakure closes her eyes and concentrates on the music.  She 
grabs it and tears at it, but she cannot stop its call.  She jumps to her 
motorcycle and races down the street...

Jody Zodiac pulls down on the wide brim of her hat and hides her face, her 
fist clenched in anger.  The ki builds up and she slashes diagonally down 
through the telephone pole before her.  She strides down the street as the 
pole falls behind her.  She will answer the call, but she will take her own 
damn sweet time about it...

Scorpio Zodiak sheathes his sword and pulls his hat low on his head.  He 
will not refuse the call...

Yar glared up at the sky and grinned, "For good or evil...  It has begun!"
Cyber retreived his hand mounted dataspike from the computer and looked 
to his master for instructions...

"As the Shadow covers the land, the Schools of Anything-Goes will be 
consumed by them.  But, one day, one bright day, two schools will be 
freed from the cloak of darkness and merge to bring forth the Rising 
Star, and the Shadows will dissapate into the winds..."
			-Uki Shiroi, The Prophecy of the Rising Star...

The figure finishes his song and puts the flute back into it's ornamented 
case...  He looks up at the sign of the building he stands in front of.

Figure: "Tendo School of Anything-Goes Martial Arts..."  It's time...

As the school year winds to a close, the time increases...  Hello, 
summer!  Now, Twilight will fall and the Star Rises...
