(I) [Introduction]
- The Story of Shaq-Fu -
Long ago and far away, in a place called The Second World, there ruled the
heartless sorcerer Sett Ra. His hunger for power still gnawed at him even
though his dominance over the Second World was unchallenged; he longed to
extend his grasp to the fair First World, Earth.
Sett Ra's plan was simple. He would destroy the Pharaoh of Egypt and usurp
his throne. He created a perfect assassin from his own shadow who would serve
him without question. This shadow became Beast, the mightiest and most loyal
of all Sett Ra's minions. Beast destroyed the Pharaoh, and the disguised Sett
Ra soon sat upon his throne.
However, the Pharaoh's son Ahmet was not deceived. He brazenly confronted
the powerful sorcerer, threatening to reveal him. Sett Ra called forth Beast
from his shadowy other domain. Ahmet barely escaped from the palace to the
Great Desert, where his grandfather, Leotsu the Wise, dwelt as a monk and
hermit. Leotsu and Ahmet united with a coven of powerful wizards from the
lands beyond Egypt, and their combined power was enough to send Sett Ra back
to the Second World, comatose and imprisoned within a rune-encrusted
pyramid. He slumbered for a millenium, bound by the wrappings of a mummy.
Beast roamed the Second World, dedicated to finding and releasing his
dread master. Successful at last, Beast and Sett Ra vow to wreak havoc on
those who stopped them before. They have gathered a battalion of formidable
fighters to further this end.
To regain his full strength and to end his exile from the First World,
Sett Ra must perform an ancient ritual upon a descendant of Ahmet. Beast
has now returned from Earth with the child Nezu, a child in whose veins
the royal blood runs pure. All is ready for the final cataclysmic battle -
only the Chosen One can stop Sett Ra now. One who possesses strength,
spirituality, courage, agility, intelligence and unsurpassed skill in the
martial arts. Where will the world find such a one? Only Shaq knows.
