It all began with a battle between the VC (Vagabond Characters) and the Vietnamese Army for control of the Son Doong Cave's Komodo Dragons and Gaga Octopuses. The American and Vietnamese forces organized an Allied Army to combat the VC. Colonel Travis Novak commanded the US Marines Battalion Lightning Thunder 13 (BLT 13). Travis Novak and his sister Ashley Novak successfully trapped a Komodo dragon and a Gaga Octopus in the Potomac River in Washington, DC. The Komodo dragon and Gaga octopus they caught had come from the Son Doong cave. Travis was missing in action in battle while fighting in the Son Doong Cave, near the Cu Chi Tunnel beneath the Assassin Jungle in Vietnam. Ashley entered the US Army as Captain Ashley Novak and served in Vietnam. Her primary goal was to find her missing brother.
