- Story -
Recently, mysterious and unexplainable have taken place that have rocked the
country. In high schools all over, students have been mysteriously
disappearing with no clue as to their whereabouts. Furthermore, it appeared
that these unspeakable acts were occurring in direct defiance of the school
system. These disappearances were taking place in many different locations
simultaneously, and many thought that they were being staged by an organized
crime ring.
It was also rumored throughout the world that these acts were being plotted by
school officials or agents of a rogue foreign government. All government
agencies cooperated with each other in the investigation to stop these
mysterious events. Despite their good intentions, all of the blame fell onto
school officials and nothing was ever resolved.
Parents and police could do nothing and the country was paralyzed with fear!
A group of students decided to take matters into their own hands: "We will
protect our schools", they cried. Yet the uneasiness still remains. Will the
students get to the bottom of these strange occurences and bring true justice?
The great fight begins.
