Dante is fighting his opponent The Executioner in a cage match, a 250-pound killing machine with a metal helmet and amazing strength. The two stare each other down in an attempt to intimidate each other. The Executioner gives Dante the coldest stare as he blows smoke from his helmet. Dante stare back in confidence, all the while not looking a bit neither concern nor intimidated by the look this man is giving him. The look of arrogance began to fuel the Executioner’s anger for he cannot wait to get his hands on him. The two stands up as the rules of the fight are explain through a state of the art computer system. The computer explains that the fight is recorded for viewers outside and that there are cameras hidden everywhere to catch every detail. This fight has no rules, the only way to win is by knock out or death.

The bell rings as Dante launches himself out of his corner delivering the first blow to the face. The Executioner stumbled back as the ringing from the blow stay within his helmet causing him great pain to his ears, he quickly take off his helmet. Dante deliver three heavy blows to his ribs, but it did very little effect being that the Executioner is known for his rock hard body. Dante swings for the fourth and The Executioner catches his hand. Dante feel the strength this man possess and realizes he is in over his head. He picks him up and tosses him across the arena with only one hand. Dante crashes against the wall and scrambles to his feet, in a fit of rage Dante charges again. The Executioner launches his knee into the charging Dante’s stomach stopping him in his tracks. He pounds both of his fists into Dante’s back, emptying all the air out of his lungs. While the fight is going on, elsewhere a star comes crashing down behind a shaggy house in the middle of nowhere.

The impact from the crash leaves behind a giant hole in the ground, debris and smoke flies from out of the hole as the star began to shape itself into a man. A boy no younger than 16 years old lay in the wreckage unconscious as the glow from his body began to fade. The boy wakes up struggling to get up, but he is too weak from the crash to stand up. He gathers the last bit of strength he has left and attempts to climb out of the hole. As the boy climbs up the hole, his feet slips on some soil causing him to fall back into the hole. He hits his head on an exposed pipe knocking him unconscious once again.

Meanwhile back at the arena, The Executioner got Dante in a bear hug. He can feel the pressure of the hold crushing his bones. In a split second decision, Dante began to raise his body temperature making his skin as hot as lava. The Executioner’s arms burst into flame, he screams in agony as the fire peel bits of skin off of his arms. He quickly drops Dante on the floor as he claps his hand as hard as possible to extinguish the flames from his arms. Dante continue to raise his body heat as his hands burst into flames, he jumps back for the finishing blow. The Executioner pounds the ground with immense strength shaking the very arena from which they stand knocking Dante out of balance. He stumbles uncontrollably as he tries to maintain his center of gravity. Pieces of the ceiling began to fall as Dante stumbles to get himself to safety. The Executioner picks up the biggest piece of rubble he can find as he aims to throw it at Dante.

The tremble from the arena fades as Dante seizes the opportunity and charges with lightning speed. He closes in and delivers an explosive upper cut to his jaw, causing him to drop the piece of rubbish on his head. The piece breaks in half as he stumbles back in a daze. Dante realizes that this man isn’t going to come down easily and he must keep his distance. The Executioner charges after Dante shaking the ground under his feet. Though he is big, he is also fast; Dante jumps back as he watches the 250-pound killing machine run through columns and walls in the arena. The Executioner gets closer as Dante plans his next move.

Dante takes a deep breath as he draws in as much air he can to fill his lungs to the max. He holds in the airs in his lung as it mixes in with the heat in his body. Dante blows intense flames out of his mouth scorching both the air and the Executioners face in the process. The Executioner panics and hit his face in an attempt put out the flames. The flame grew with each blow the Executioner gives to himself. For a 250-pound killing machine, this man wasn’t too bright. He hits himself too hard knocking himself out. The Executioner falls to the ground shaking the arena once more and extinguishing the flames. The match is over and Dante wins the fight by knock out. He walks out the arena and to the cashier as where he receives his payment and walks out of the Lions Den.

Dante approaches his shaggy home when he discovers the smoke coming from the back of his house. He runs to the back only to see a giant hole filling what used to be his crops. Dante see a strangely dressed boy in front of the hole trembling in fear at the sight of him. It was clear this boy was not from here, he looked confused and scared, so scared in fact that the slightest noise can send the boy running. Dante asks the boy for his name. But he did not get a response; the boy takes off running heading towards a dark forest. Dante realize where the boy is going and began running after the boy to stop him. The boy runs into the forest as Dante runs in after him but it was too late, only Dante knows what dangers lurks inside the Omen Forest.

After running for what seems to be hours, Dante catches up to the boy and tackles him. The boy began to struggle as Dante explain to him that he is not trying to hurt him. Dante helps the boy up and instantly began shouting at the boy asking him how can he be so damn stupid to run into an forest without taking precaution. After the shouting he asked the boy for his name again and where was he from. The man does not remember anything about himself. Meanwhile the whole entire forest is aware of the two presences in the forest due to Dante’s shouting. As Dante began to explain the dangers of this forest and how much danger they are in now, something began to ruffle in the trees.

Dante began scanning the forest trees around him. As the ruffles in the tree got closer he heats up his fist, preparing himself for what might be coming. Dante turns around and sees the boy running away. He quickly runs after the boy, to stop him. After running through bushes and trees he catches up with him. The boy is frozen solid with fear as he looks at a pack of glowing, piercing yellow eyes. These were werewolves. Snarling with blood dripping from their mouth from a previous kill. The glare from their eyes sends chills down the boy’s spine paralyzing him in fear.

Apparently the two had just stumbled into a strict werewolf territory during dinnertime, and tensions were high. The smell of decaying flesh was enough to turn anyone’s stomach as the boy vomits on the ground. Dante scan the werewolves sizing them up and prepares for a fight. The boy’s panic turns into full-blown fright, his eyes began to glow a powerful bright yellow. This is all so new to him; he doesn’t know what is going on.

As the yellow eyes make contact the werewolves began to get agitated. The pack began to prepare for attack as each of them began to stand up one by one. Their fur began to bristle as they expose their fang in an attempt to make the two run. Dante stands his ground and braces himself for a fight. The werewolves rocketed themselves out the tree homing in on Dante and the boy.

Dante hits three of the werewolves with his flaming fist knocking them back. More werewolves began to close in as Dante tells the boy to run. He fights off the pack single handedly as the boy scurries away to safety. As the boy was running he trips and fall down a cliff and into a cave. He hits the bottom with a loud crash as he breaks what looks like to be a table of some sort. He gets up and looks around as he see stone carvings on the walls representing war of giant beings other being that seems to be a mystery to the boy. He has never seen artwork like this before or any for that matter. He walks through the cave following the artwork on the walls to see where it lead to for he doesn’t know how much danger he is in right now.

Meanwhile Dante searching through the forest, his tank top was torn to piece from the slashes the werewolves gave him. Suddenly he sees tracks of footprints leading somewhere. Dante began to follow the footprints up to the edge of a cliff. He looks over the cliff and sees a sunroof for what looks like to be a cave of some sort. He braces himself as he jumps into the hole. As he reaches the bottom he sees the broken table and knows that the boy was here and began to search for him.

As Dante began to walk through the cave, the carvings on the wall caught Dante’s attention and to his horrible discovery this was a Berserker Ogre Lair. Dante knows what these beings are capable of and have to get this boy out of their Lair before he wakes them up. Dante began to quietly run through the cave to find him making sure not to cause any disturbance to wake them up, but all the while moving fast.
He began to follow the artwork as well, knowing this would catch anyone attention that is not from this area. As he follows the trail of artwork he began to see bones scattered through the cave floors and realize that the Ogres have previously woken up and were actively occupying this cave. As more fear grew within him, Dante stopped running and realizes that there is no way that the Berserker Ogres were still in the cave. These bone were old, which meant they must have left a long time ago.

On the other side of cave the boy is walking through the cave when he see’s a lid path leading to a steep ledge, below was what look like a nest of the giant being from the drawings on the wall. There were five Ogres doing what look like meditation. Suddenly he hear shouting coming from the lid path, he looks to see what is shouting, it was Dante. The sound grew loud as the Ogres shifted uncomfortably to maintain meditation. As Dante got closer the echo of his voice began to get louder as one of the Ogres wakes up.

The shouting snaps all of the Ogres out the calm trance. The two watches as the Ogres got up one by one. The Ogres began to roar as they club the ground viciously shaking the entire cave around them and beat their chest working themselves into a berserker frenzy. The two darts out of the nest as all 5 ogres come charging after them.

Running blindly through the cave with the ogres on their tail, the two run into a dead end. The ogres close in clutching their club, readying themselves to pound the two to death. Suddenly Dante set fire to one of the Ogres face. The ogre drops his club as he tries to put out the intense flames on his face, Dante aims his fire to the ground and launches himself in the air.

Dante delivers 2 flaming heavy hitting blows to the Ogre’s jaw. The other ogre’s charges in instantly; kicking Dante into the cave wall shattering his rips. The mystery man cowers into the corner, horrified as he watches club after club, blow after blow. Suddenly the man’s eyes began to glow again as his vision turned grey.

The man looked at his hands as he sees claws coming out. Suddenly he feels a rush of strong power surge through him. The man transforms into a werewolf lycan hybrid. The ogres raised their club one more time, when suddenly something fast flies past them. The ogres stops, and look around to see what was it that went passed. Suddenly blood began to drip out of two of the ogre’s neck. In an instance their heads fall to the ground and as the bodies come crashing down shaking the cave. The remaining watch in horror as their comrades blood spray on them.

The ogres looks around to and spot the hybrid standing over the dead bodies, claw dripping with blood and what look like a wind pipe. The Hybrid’s furs on his back and head bristle and he make himself look bigger.

The ogres eyes busted into a bright red as the markings on their body began to glow red. The ogres are now in a berserker trance. They came charging at the hybrid swinging their clubs in the air. The hybrid leaps on the first ones chest, slashing his eyes wide open. Blood spills into the air and all over the cave as the ogre’s falls to his knees covering his eyes.

The second ogres hit the hybrid in the corner. He scrambles back to his feet as he readies himself for the next blow. The hybrid swipes his claws before the incoming club. The club fell to pieces as it falls to the ground. He pounces viciously on the ogre neck ripping out his throat with his fangs. The last ogre charges in as the hybrid runs through him with his claws. Suddenly the last ogre fell to pieces and scattered on the floor.

Blood painted the walls of the cave as body parts and body’s filled the nest. The hybrid picks up Dante broken up body and carries him out of the cave. As the hybrid walk out of the cave a peaceful voice entered his head. The voice introduced himself as Milo and directed him out of the forest.
