Dragon Gate

Ryuumon soldiers

**Dragon Gate** (Ryuumon, **龍門**) is a REA (Republic of East Asia) mafia, a criminal Chinese based group which ruled most of Tokyo Kingdom City back in Taimanin Asagi 2. They are the criminal underbelly of the group "Ryuumon Capital"

They collect protection money, are connected to drug and slave trade, as well as weapon manufacturing.

## Policy

Criminal group which is opposed to Nomad and works close with the Chinese Union.

Makes money with bioweapon creation, slave and drug trade. Highly immoral, but also trained and skilled.

## History

Originally created from a company called "**Dragon Gate** Capital" that bought most parts of the man-made island, financed by the Chinese Union. They became a mafia controlling most of Tokyo Kingdom City, keeping other groups like Nomad outside with a private armed militia. Around the time of Taimanin Kurenai, they had a deal with the group House of Greed and were one of the distributors of the drug Hallelujah, until House of Greed was destroyed. House of Greed was in reality also a proxy group of Nomad, which otherwise was unable to make deals with Dragon Gate.

The organization was very dangerous, and also traded data about body modification, with the rather disloyal Nomad scientist Kiryu Sabato, and was able to obtain both DNA samples of Edwin Black and Oboro. Afterward, the group created Oboro (Clone), which thanks to her cunning mind and skills was put in charge of one of the Dragon Gate Hideout in Tokyo Kingdom. It is unclear, how many fake memories this clone contained to remain loyal to Ryuumon. Kiryu is also mentioned to have helped in the creation with the data needed for the "warrior" experiment.

Around Taimanin Asagi 2, Dragon Gate was able to capture three Taimanin and clone Oboro experimented on them, forcing Saya to commit suicide, which awoke her Inner Demon but also turned her at this point fully insane and loyal "warrior". The other Taimanin were presumingly killed. Edwin Black tried to retake the DNA samples and steal some of Dragon Gate's research but was wounded by Saya and forced to heal within an Oni's body around Tokyo Kingdom. Clone Oboro also captured Igawa Asagi and Igawa Sakura, which investigated the case of the missing Taimanin. Clone Oboro and Saya were, however, killed by them and Black used this chance to take some of the research for himself, when everybody was still distracted.

After the death of clone Oboro, failure to create a useful bioweapon, only samples of Asagi's DNA remained. To make back some of their lost money, Asagi (TN Clone) clones were created and were spread in dark brothels, but Asagi, seeing the danger of copies of herself running around, which also could be turned into weapons, killed her clones one by one leaving Dragon Gate once more with nothing. One clone survived in the online universes and was taken by the UFS for research.

In Taimanin Murasaki, Dragon Gate is mentioned by Kiryu Sabato as some of his actions start to catch up with him, he is being investigated by Ingrid. Most of his science staff is loyal to him, and he sends his new assistant Morizawa to make contact with Dragon Gate, as he would need to redeem a favor. However, Morizawa never made the communication before being uncovered by Ingrid.

Afterward, Dragon Gate is in a constant decline, within the old canon but never confirmed to be fully destroyed.

### Timeline TABA

Follows most events of the canon timeline.

Dragon Gate has declined, they are sometimes referred to as the REA mafia. Additionally, Dragon Gate had tried to reproduce Saya, in the form of a clone, but this one was deemed to be too faulty. Unable to take human form, it was left alone in one of the labs until it broke out on its own. Some of their research data was later used to create Saya Neo a more complete version of Saya by the UFS. The UFS also were able to rescue one of the Asagi clones and turned her into a weapon of Task Force G. However, Dragon Gate itself has little effect in TABA mostly just referenced by their old experiments.

### Timeline RPGX

TA2 does take place. As a result Dragon Gate has become much weaker with other groups being more active in Tokyo Kingdom but they are at least in the beginning still the leading party in that area. Saya Neo and clone Asagi are again mentioned. However, clone Asagi is able to escape from "G" and now lives in the Downtown Detective Agency in Yomihara.

Ryuumon became a target for the Nisha Gaiza's Nisha Ninja Troops. Using the CD Virus around Tokyo Kingdom's Dragon Gate bases to take their turf in the chaos. Some of their members, including Ishiyumi Ryu have joined Nisha after their defeat. As a result of the CD Virus event, Ryuumon has been almost fully destroyed, with left over members joining other groups.

TA2 took place in some form. Dragon Gate might be still around, but is not seen.
