Nemesis – The Games that Haunt Us: Ninja Gaiden
February 7th, 2009 by Jeff Feeser
Far away from the city, atop the stone face of a lonely cliff, a man, clad in dark blue from head to toe sits and stares out at the temple in the valley below.
“….”, thinks Ryu Hayabusa, as he ponders his plan of attack, and how he will retrieve the statue of darkness from the evil Jaquio.
As he contemplates his next move, he notices the graceful motion of a single eagle, loping about in lazy circles, drawing closer and closer to the precipice.
“….”, thinks Ryu once more, as he readies himself for the climb down to the temple, not noticing the purposeful approach of the bird. And then, just as our hero is about to make his descent, the bird accelerates to the speed of sound, plunges into the young ninja’s chest, and bursts through the other side. Clutching the gaping wound in his chest, our hero falls to his apparent death.
Welcome to the world of Ninja Gaiden, a land of intrigue, action, and Birds. Deadly, deadly birds.
