| The heavy yet familiar guitar riff of “Walk” by Pantera sucker punches its way through silence as a beat up, dirty wrestling ring sits under a spotlight surrounded by darkness. The drums kick in, sending the song into it’s natural, guttural rhythm and the SHOOT Project helmet logo burns its way onto the dirty canvas. Seconds later, the rest of the SHOOT project logo brands itself onto the canvas. As the song continues to hammer forth, the mat begins to char and blacken, the logo turning white with ash. In the flames that begin to form, the faces of SHOOT Project Soldiers Akuma Satsui, Bobson Dugnutt, Chadwick Kyle, and Fuego Eterno appear in quick succession.

ARE YOU TALKING TO ME… |
First, there was darkness. Then as the drums pick up the pattern of a beating heart we see a silhouette shining in the middle of space. It is the outline of a man hewn from the mighty stone of the finest marble. It is a man in the image of a mythological god. There are few that will believe it but the first step is to see. Let there be light.
It is blinding, shining so bright, but you will get used to his grin. Don’t shirk back at the glare of his piercing eyes, for any sudden moves and you might be pulverized. It is those muscles that will do the job and they are so great. When one puts the whole together they can only wonder who can handle such biceps, bear those glutes, and tame that wild mane of hair.
Do not worry for he is here to inspire, deter, and save you from yourself. Yes, because at the end of the day there is nobody else to blame but you. He knows because he has been there before. Out of the ashes of depression, addiction, and misery he has risen to this form that you see smiling at your pathetic visage. And he came to crush you out of this state to resemble something closer to his perfection. Make something out of nothing as he has. It will not be perfect, because it will not be him. The name is a reminder. The body is the prophecy. He is Kowloon Zombie and he is here to save all of you.
