Story[]
At night on June 10, 1997, 587 infants and young children were stolen from their homes all over the world. These children were taken to a facility known only as "The Lab". Scientists experimented and tested on the children who would never know a real life, genetically altering their DNA structure. Out of the 587, only 50 survived the procedures. Then, on February 13, 2008, The Lab's nuclear power core melted down, destroying the facility, killing all of the people inside. Except four. By a freak chance, their altered DNA made them immune to radiation. They then dropped off the face of the Earth. Until one year later. February '09, the 4 youth reappeared as the mercenary group Shocking, taking jobs for whomever would pay the most. Then, one year later, a shocking and disturbing truth reaches their ears. The organization that had stolen them from their homes had risen back to power, and even more disturbing, over 1000 children have disappeared from all over the world. The group then decides to quit taking mercenary jobs and take down the company, revealed to be known as Hydra. The group succeeds in destroying the company's headquarters.
They return to their home only to find a mysterious man who tells then about the story of the Hydra in Greek mythology. One head is cut off, then others emerge to take their place. There is a flash of lightning and the credits roll.
After all missions are completed, there is a cut scene where Venom finds an envelope with a letter inside. The letter reads:
Dear Shocking,
I have learned of your activities through one of my numerous contacts and have need of your unique... abilities. I would like to arrange a meeting. Meet me on the top floor office of the HadesTech. Inc. building next Friday night at midnight. I will give you your assignment there. Your reward will be ten million United States dollars. I look forward to seeing you there.' -Johnathon Hades
