Located to the south of Ras Al Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates is a town called Al Jazirah A Hamra (translated to English: The Red Island). Once ruled by the Zaab tribe, a dispute with Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammed Al Qasimi of Ras Al Khaimah in 1968 led to most of the tribe moving to Abu Dhabi, leaving the town all but abandoned, filled with a collection of abandoned homes and buildings, including a mosque. Widely believed amongst the locals to be haunted, the mosque was considered to be one of the most frightening places in all of the United Arab Emirates.
Naturally it made the perfect place for GRIM and his followers to gather and prepare for the Toukon Road: Champion’s Gulf Tour.
Esior the Necromancer cast a spell around “The Red Island” while GRIM’s disciples set about making preparations for their ceremony inside the mosque. The spirits of Zaab tribe members, long dead walked freely among the living. They watched as these intruders violated their home, drawing symbols on the walls and the floor and mutter incantations. The spirits attempted to frighten them away but to no avail as many of those who saw them merely scoffed, while the creature known as Tiger Mask Undead would roar when they grew close and tried to swipe at their heads.
The hour grew close to midnight and the preparations were almost complete when GRIM appeared with Sentai and Goryō in tow. Esior the Necromancer soon joined them, calling Tiger Mask Undead to his side. The dark wizard GRIM turned to his inner circle and nodded to them before beginning to speak.
“My children, the hour of black crusade is nearly upon us. Tonight we break open the fourth seal and unleash a darkness that will seep into the very fabric of each and everyone who stands opposed to the oblivion in our wake. We will shepherd this world towards its impending doom and reshape it into our own image. We shall walk the path to the ninth staircase and embrace our godhood while all around us bend the knee and worship at our feet.”
He turned to Goryō.
“Is the sacrifice ready?”
The water demon nodded and bowed his head.
“Yes, my master. Bring forth the honored soul!”
A young woman was led into the circle and kneeled in the middle of the runes. She bowed her head and awaited GRIM to speak.
“Do you know why you are here, my child,” the dark wizard bellowed.
“Yes, my lord.,” she said, “I am the vessel.”
“And is the vessel ready?”
She raised her hands in the air and threw back the robe she wore, revealing she was bald and covered head to toe in runes.
“Am am ready!”
GRIM snapped his finger and Tiger Mask Undead immediately pounced at her, ripping her stomach open with his claws as he bit at her neck. The woman did not make a sound during the attack. Her mouth gaped open and her eyes turned pitchblack. GRIM called his undead monster off and as sudden as the attack had begun it was over. The woman laid bleeding in the middle of the floor, her blood covered the runes around her and they began to glow.
The dark wizard entered the circle and without beckoned for his latest disciple, Falcon Hamada, to join him in the circle. The runes began to glow even more and the two men were drenched in a red light. One by one the spirits inside the mosque enter the circle and were extinguished by an unholy fire.
“Do you feel that, Brother Hamada? Do you feel the power flowing through you?”
“Yes, my master,” Hamada said with a nod.
“This is the force of a thousand lost souls being drawn like a moth to a flame. The vessel acts like a conduit, her blood fuels its flames. With every lost soul that enters this circle, you and I become that much stronger. With every lost soul that joins us in the fire, you and I become that much more unbeatable.
“AJ Knight and Alexander Irvine, the supposed World Tag Team Champions will fall before us like a house of card. We will return the championship belts to their rightful place and once again use them as talismans to bring upon the destruction of the world.”
Everyone in the room dropped to their knees and bowed before the glowing warriors. Meanwhile Esior smiled beneath his mask. Everything was happening just as he planned
