Mega Dragon and Tiger

"Sixty five million years ago, dinosaurs ruled the world. And then came a massive asteroid many miles across. It struck earth with the destructive force of a million nuclear bombs. The planet was horribly scarred. Massive earthquakes, tidal waves and volcanic eruptions quickly eradicated most of the life on the surface of the world. The reign of dinosaurs came to an abrupt end. Only their fossils remain to us of their existence. Millions of years later, new life slowly gained a foothold on the land. In time... man appeared and claimed the earth for his species".

Switch to present day. Hong Kong, June 30, 11:00 PM, 1999.

"The night sky turns swiftly to day as new light blossoms above, ten times brighter than the sun! A swarm of meteorites enter the atmosphere, each the size of a mountain. The doom of 65 million years ago rains down once more. They burn incandescent, super-heated by the atmosphere. Each one a parcel of death... The first one hits Hong Kong with the force of ten nuclear bombs. In seconds, the pearl of the east is vaporized. And all around the world... Humans and animals are exterminated in an instant. Everything natural or man-made suffers the same fate. The resulting earthquakes, tidal waves and volcanic eruptions lay waste to anything in their path. Most of the world falls victim to a biblical firestorm. Some of the meteors were composed of radioactive material. The dust from their explosions darkens the skies with a hot, deadly cloud. And the once blue planet earth becomes a flaming red ball".

"But not all were destroyed in this tragedy. Green dots appeared around the fiery globe. Heaven's curtain extends for one thousand miles, providing impervious protection from the intense firestorm outside. The choking clouds of dust that blanket the earth slowly dissipate over time. Ten years after the apocalypse the clouds that blocked the sun are gone and the blue sky has returned. Heaven's curtain was created by thousands of broadcasting stations, each generating a unified magnetic force field through the use of lasers. When the atmosphere was deemed clear of deadly dust storms, heaven's curtain was opened. The old world was gone for good".

Switch to land of paradise, 2009.

"Ten years after the sky fell; this once undeveloped island now boasts a bustling metropolis. A high-tech ark of human civilization, glittering in the sun! Over two million citizens of paradise rejoice madly in the streets. More than two hundred thousand gathered at the pavilion to hear their leader speak".

"The average human being uses six percent of his brain power. Ninety-four percent remains as untapped potential. Edison and Einstein were two of the greatest minds of the 20th century. Both exceeded the six percent mark by a wide margin".

President bates issues compulsory brain law exams, to test brain power.

"Citizens dutifully follow the president's decree. New decree. Those over the age of ten who showed less than eight percent brain development were banished from the land of paradise. Bates said only the best of the best deserved citizenship. Over 500 thousand people were forced to leave their homes. These people were sent into the wastelands. But they found it was not deserted. Some had managed to survive the apocalypse. These survivors had formed violent tribes which terrorized anyone who was unable to defend themselves. Some of these wasteland survivors had been mutated by radiation from the space debris. It had warped their minds, as well, turning them into violent killers. Some developed the power to control minds, and used it for evil purposes.

But then came the second decree of president bates...

Colonization. "A regent rules each colony through the use of terror and extremism, the citizens if the wastelands were named the, unworthy ones. Soon the waste-land survivors became slaves. None could stand up against the technological might of the paradise military. They conquered the world in no time. Their only hope for redemption was to enter, the challenge. The winner of these contests was sent to paradise as a contender in the, best of the best championships. Since the year 2010. Fighters from around the world have gathered at paradise stadium on July 1 to compete in the championship. President bates hosts the event with all high-ranking military and dignitaries in attendance. It's the sixth annual, best of the best tournament. After several rounds of competition, two men face off for the top honour.

Prelude end.
