While riding dirt bikes, six teenagers saw a motorcycle crash before them. They went over to see if the rider was hurt, but found he was dying. Kotondo Nakao was the last member of the Hidden Shadows clan. He told the teenagers about it, and giving them his crest and a leather book, he asked them to carrying on the clan. They promised not to let it vanish, and then Kotondo died on the road. The dirt bikers buried Kotondo there in Florida, and began their Ninja training. Along with the crest, Kotondo gave them an old leather book of the Hidden Shadows clan. It contained the art of Ninjutsu and the history of the clan and its members. After years of mastering this art, the dirt bikers now are feared through out Florida. The Hidden Shadows clan has returned.
But as always, every Ninja clan has an adversary. In this case, the enemy is the Shadow Avengers, a clan specifically for shadowing and assassinating the Hidden Shadows clan.
They thought their task was at an end when Kotondo died, but now they face six other members, and although they're young, their skills make them almost immortal. Mist (Illusion, Cobra and Night Shadow's younger sister) is a member of the Shadow Avengers. Her main reason is to stop them from killing Quan Chi, (their parent's murderer) wanting her parents to rest in peace.
Rebekah a.k.a. Illusion is one of the teenagers who saw Kotondo die. She is the creator of the M. K. R. dirt bike club, and one darn good motocross racer!
Around her neck is a raindrop/whirlpool necklace, a protective charm held together with two silver dolphins. The raindrop was captured by Noob Saibot and given to Rebekah as a gift of friendship. Rebekah had first met the hidden black Ninja in the Living Forest. They now work together as a team. Illusion also teams with Sektor, the red cybernetic Ninja, and Rain.
Quan Chi killed Illusion's parents as well as her grandparents when she was about seven. She witnessed it all, but only has flashbacks of her past now. The Lin Kuei found Rebekah and took her in to their clan. There she learned the art of the Dragon. It is said that her memory loss of her past was either from a head concussion or because she blocked out the horrible images. Now at sixteen, she trails Quan Chi, waiting for a chance to slay him. Only he holds the answers to her past.
8:02 PM, Present Day: Hidden Shadows Meeting Place, Nagasaki, Japan.
Illusion, a pretty blonde American female with a German and British background stood in the clan's training room. She was wearing a black gi and her hair was pulled into a high ponytail.
She glanced around the room for a moment, as if making sure that no one was watching her, then she stepped onto the kunren (training) mat. First she did a few push-ups and stretches, but then she lashed out into a blur of strikes and kicks, viciously attacking imaginary foes. She ran to the wall and back flipped off it, kicking out hard. A hand caught her foot and she tumbled to the wood floor. She looked up to see Noob Saibot's face.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" She asked, pushing a strand of hair out of her large brown eyes.
"Just watching," the black Ninja replied mysteriously.
"Right." Illusion nodded. "So, I guess this means you have nothing to do all day, no assassins to track down..."
She walked over to the red punching bag and gave it a few hits.
The black Ninja just eyed her. Most people would have felt uneasy, but Illusion had known him for a long time. She knew she could trust him not to kill her.
"Well, what's new?" Illusion asked, unscrewing the cap to her water bottle.
"Nothing that I can tell you," Noob answered coolly.
There he goes again! Illusion thought to herself. Always acting, I don't know, annoying? But he's really…cute.
"Oh," She nodded. "That type of news."
Noob gave her a sideways glance, as if he were wondering if that was an insult or just a dumb blonde thing.
He stared at her.
"What?" She asked, tossing the water bottle to the side.
"I thought you were training," Noob reminded.
"Oh. Well, I never really practice with someone watching." Illusion answered, wondering what he thought of her now. A total moron?
"What's wrong with me being here?" He asked slyly.
"Nothing. I mean, it would be nice to have a real opponent." Illusion replied. "But…well, I stink."
"What did you call that back there?" the black Ninja shot back.
Illusion didn't reply. She followed him to the training mat.
"Try to hit me." Noob told her.
"What? Are you kidding? I'll never be able to-" She began.
"Just do it! You need to work on your speed. You're too slow." Noob explained.
Illusion sighed, wondering why she was giving in. She stared at Noob for a second, then dove at him.
He fan-blocked it and reversed her kick, sending her backwards. She landed flat on her back.
What was that for? She lunged at him again; aiming a kick at his turned back. Noob instantly turned to face her. He seemed surprised that she tried again. But as always, he stepped to the side and Illusion landed awkwardly on her side. "Feeble." Noob laughed. Illusion frowned, but then smiled back. At least she made him laugh. Suddenly Noob stiffened. Illusion knew better than to ask, "what?"
She watched him close his eyes, trying to locate where something was. She could hear soft footsteps, but didn't know directly where they came from. Noob opened his eyes and glanced at the second exit. Illusion looked there, too. When she turned, she saw that Noob had vanished.
Darn! Would he come back? She wondered. Her thoughts were shattered by a knock on the door. Illusion opened it. Five Japanese men stood there, two were in Ninja outfits.
"Genkaku-san desu ka?" The bearded man asked. (Are you Illusion)
"Hai." Illusion answered. "Watashi wa Genkaku." (Yes, I am)
"Hm." a man in an orange shirt nodded. "Kuroi Ninja wa doko ni imasu ka?" (Where is the black Ninja)
"Watashi wa shirimasen." Illusion replied with a little anger. (I don't know)
"Anata wa usotsuki!" the bearded man shouted at her. (You liar!) "Anata wa warufuzake watashi no dewa arimasen." he added. (You cannot trick me)
"Atchi e ike!" Illusion exclaimed, shutting the door and locking it. (Go away!) She leaned against it, thinking about Noob Saibot.
The strange men left the meeting place and disappeared.
Illusion felt drained and decided to get some sleep. She picked up her water bottle and bound for her room.
A hand clamped down on her waist and one covered her mouth. She tried to kick but was stunned when she heard the attacker speak. "Are they gone?"
"Noob!" Illusion gasped, pulling his hand off her mouth. "Why did you-"
"Are they gone?" He repeated.
"Yes, they just left. I made sure of it." Illusion replied.
Silence.
"Noob," Illusion said quietly. "Who are they?"
More silence.
"Noob?" Illusion looked up at his face. It was unmasked now and he leaned down. Their lips met in a soft kiss. Illusion put her arms around his waist. Noob soon took his hand off her hip and said good night. He walked down the dark hall and disappeared.
