THE HISTORY

OF THE

WHITE LOTUS

SECRET SOCIETY

A long time ago in a galaxy far away there was a lone Sentient being named Tigris Pride while walking on a mysterious planet he stumbled upon an amulet that gave him great power. Driven by madness of being alone Tigris used the mysterious amulet to evolve a group of lions six in all into a more advance race of beings. Hence forth this small knit inner circle would be called the Pride of Seven. Tigris bestowed each one of his fellow Prides with a special ability.

He became keeper of the mysterious amulet. To safeguard the powerful relic he transformed his life force into a planet. Tigris became Planet Jungle Staron. His spirit combined with the magic of the mysterious amulet gave birth to life on the planet. In time Planet Jungle Staron became a thriving society of scholars and explorers.

On an exploration mission the six Prides of Jungle Staron were sent out to scout for other inhabitable planets for resources. One of the Seven Prides sought conquest instead of being an explorer and a scientist. In a fight with the Seven Prides Liger Star killed OTNIEL Pride. He returned to Jungle Staron and formed his own group called the Aggressors. The death of OTNIEL Pride sent Planet Jungle Staron into a civil war that lasted for Centuries. During the final days of the war Leola Pride assumed the role of leadership after a bloody and fierce battle with the Aggressors Liger Star who had murdered Usama Pride and nearly whipping the Defenders from the face of the planet. In Planet Jungle Staron’s darkest hours Leola led the Defenders to victory. She remained in leadership until her son Tigon was eighteen years old.

Liger Staron and his Aggressors were punished for their tyranny. Leola & the remaining five Prides called upon the Sentient being Tigris Pride. Together they exiled Liger Staron and his Aggressors. There punishment they were cursed to travel the galaxy on the Ghost Carrier where Liger Star would be captain forever. He was bound to the ship never to be seen or heard from again. Driven by madness of his exile Liger Staron killed his fellow Aggressors.

He sailed the galaxy alone on a desolate ship for thousands of years. Eventually he fell into a deep sleep.

Sixty years later the Ghost Carrier crash landed on Planet Earth. It landed in China. It was discovered by an Asian Templar Order known as the White Lotus. A sorcerer named Whunshol used his dark magic to resurrect Liger Staron and his deceased crew. They formed an alliance with the Warlord Vague and his empress Madame Viper taught Liger Star and his Aggressors the ways of the dark martial arts. For centuries this deadly alliance has been the unseen hand behind wars, death and destruction.

Zeus the God of Olympus sent his twin daughters to Earth to live as mortals to keep them from being entangled in the war for supremacy of earth. Fearing that Olympus might fall someday Zeus took precaution to ensure the survival of the Gods by assigning the infants a guardian Throth he gave up his God hood and immortality in order to ensure that the girls and the power of the Gods wouldn’t fall into the wrong hands. He assumed the name Evan Rain and became one of the members of the anti-terrorist organization C.O.V.E.R.

He kept one of the twin daughters and he sent the other to Okinawa Japan. Now here begins the story of Rita Rain who must become Sonic Woman in order to rescue her son Daniel and save the city of Midtown New York & the world from the White Lotus Secret Society.

THE STORM BEGINS

Rita Rain is the amazing Sonic Woman, she is not your typical Playgirl Billionaire. As a kid her parents were murdered by two burglars who broke into her families’ home. Rita & her twin sister Rhonda barely escaped with their lives & Rita had the scar on her left calf leg to remind her of that horrible night. In fear that the masked men might try to seek out Rita and Rhonda, Commissioner Steel had the twin girls separated. To this day no one knows the whereabouts of Rita’s sister Rhonda Rain. As for Rita she was raised in the Midtown Orphanage until she was eight teen years old. During that time she was visited by a man named Sir William Kingsley. He came to the Midtown Orphanage and Rita took to Storm Manor.

Sir Kingsley was a descendant of a long line of butlers who served the Rain family. A few years ago he became Rita & Rhonda’s care taker after inheriting the Rain fortune. He searched far and wide for Rhonda but each time that he searched for her it was a dead end search. Her Whereabouts were unknown. Shortly after coming into her new found wealth Rita Rain discovered that being a young playgirl Billionaire was new to her. It took a little time for her to adjust to her new life style but with Sir Kingsley’s guidance she quickly rose through the ranks of Storm Enterprises to become the CEO.

Inheriting her father’s company was a huge responsibility for Rita. After receiving her Masters Degree in Biology from Syracuse University, the board members placed high expectations on her. The executives of Storm Enterprises wanted the same level of excellence that her father Evan Rain set when he was CEO of the company. Rita hoped that she could fill the big shoes that her father had left behind. Being Sonic Woman gave her the confidence to believe in herself.

Today was a big day for Storm Enterprises at the Midtown Science Expo. Rita Rain would be unveiling her experimental Metabolic Regeneration Chamber. It was considered by many to be a medical breakthrough it has the ability to regenerate and restore damaged or even missing arms and legs. Rita’s stomach was a little queasy & she felt light headed needing some fresh air she stepped through the automatic sliding doors where she was greeted by a slew of reporters. The bright flash of camera’s blinded her.

Ms. Rain do you expect us to believe that your Metabolic Chamber can actually restore damaged arms & legs?

"Ladies and Gentlemen, seeing is believing. The Metabolic Chamber will be the future in cutting edge medical technology after today’s demonstration. Rita said leaning into podium microphone.

Rita really didn’t like being put on the spot. She tried diligently to keep her research and private life a secret. In the midst of all of the yelling amongst the shouting reporters she recognized a familiar voice. It was her old boyfriend Justin she had spent a weekend in Cancun Mexico last year.

Good to see you Justin, the demonstration will be in 30 minutes. Rita said blushing.

This was an awkward moment for Rita of all of the places that her ex-boyfriend could show up at he picked the Midtown Science Expo. Rita blushed she slightly turned from the camera’s and zipped up her lab coat. The media had totally caught her by surprise the paparazzi was looming everywhere lurking to get an exclusive of the Playgirl billionaire Rita Rain. She knew that she had to find a way to keep the suspense about her medical breakthrough. She slowly took a couple of steps backwards with a wave of her hand she stepped through the automatic doors and turned the locking latch as the doors closed in front of her.

With her hands on her hips she smiled walking away with a slow cat like walk. Rita was blown away by the attention she was getting from the media. Her breakthrough in medical science made her more famous than the president or Beyoncé had ever been.

Ms. Rain. The voice shouted as the doors closed.

She quickly made her way down the hall to her laboratory inside waiting for her was her mentor and assistant Sir William Kingsley. He was installing the second Fusion Core to the Metabolic Chamber. His mind was totally focused on putting the last modifications on the machine. He was totally unaware of Rita’s presence.

Perfect timing Sir Kingsley, are the camera men in position? Rita asked.

Yes Ms. Rain. Sir Kingsley said. He turned on the lights in the room and pulled down the lever opening the giant metal shades that covered the room. The television cameramen had their camera’s set in the balcony area circling the room. The bright flash of camera’s filled the room members of the media were scattered all over the balcony of the laboratory. Rita walked over to the table and grabbed the small microphone and clipped on to her lab coat.

Ms. Rain, if I didn’t know any better I’d say that you were stalling. The reporter said.

Oh, no. Rita shot back. My assistant Sir Kingsley is running the diagnostics program once the final calibrations are complete we will begin our very first trial run.

Do you think that you’re medical research can feel the void your father left behind? The reporter asked speaking through the protective glass. Everyone knows that Storm Enterprises was known for being a merchant of death in the chemical weapons industry.

I understand your skepticism, however as I said earlier this is a new era for Storm Enterprises. I believe that my medical breakthrough will be a stepping stone to world peace. It is our hope that through my new invention that the countries of the world will become united.

The room became silent no one said anything. Lights around the room slowly began to dim and fade to dark. All of the attention was on the CEO of Storm Enterprises. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The tension was so thick in the room that you could cut it with a knife. Rita swallowed a small lump went down her throat

Rita’s palms became sweaty her father had left big shoes for her to fill. Too many he was known to be a shrewd businessman who believed in supply and demand whether it was good, bad, or indifferent. Rita knew that the time for talk was drawing to a close. The only way that she would ever step out of her father’s shadow and change the reputation of her company would be with the demonstration of the Metabolical Regeneration Chamber. Rita was starting to feel like she had been thrown to the wolves by her company. The reporters were so relentless with their questions.

That in the midst of the yelling and loud talking, no one noticed the handicap test subject being escorted into the room. Sir Kingsley accessed the lever to the balcony area and lowered the wheel chair ramp leading inside the laboratory. The protective glass slowly came down covering the cameramen and news reporters. Rita felt a sigh of relief as she put on her safety goggles. She ran quickly turning her attention to the handicap man who was secure in a safety harness hanging three feet above the Metabolic Chamber. Rita had done her homework on the test subject. He was a Staff Sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corp. While on a routine patrol his Watch Tower was hit by an I.E.D. explosive in Afghanistan. The blast from the shrapnel caused severely damaged the soldier’s body leaving him without a right arm and both of his legs. Despite having the best medical attention from the world’s best military surgeons they were unable to save his arm and legs.

A small breathing mask was placed on the man’s face. The top panel of the Metabolic Regeneration Chamber slowly slides open in the opposite direction. Rita receives a thumb’s up from her laboratory assistant. She gave a gentle nod and the man was lowered into the Metabolic Chamber.

As the man’s body entered the chamber it slowly began to fill with water. The cameras in the balcony area were front and center for the world to see. This was the moment that Rita was waiting for a chance to change the direction of Storm Enterprises and to rebuild the image of her company. The only downside was the flood of the media hounding Rita at every turn. A lot of questions were asked about Storm Enterprises she had few answers for the media.

She had placed everything on the success of what she believed would be a stepping stone to something greater. She watched as the water filled the chamber it began to bubble and illuminate. Soon the man’s body was barely visible to the point where all that could be seen was a shadowy figure. Everyone watched with great anticipation & excitement. Rita was very nervous because her Metabolic Chamber had no successful trial runs. Today would be the first live actual subject she gently crossed her fingers hoping for the experiment to be a success.

The truth was Rita hadn’t been totally honest with
