===The Wicked City===
An investigation and combat scenario.  The Wan Kuei discover that the Yama King Mikaboshi's Wicked City is slowly intruding into the Mortal World.  The players discover broken mirrors in cities are leaking corrupted Chi into the Mortal world.  The Kuei-jin scramble to try and seal these breaches, but anything tried is a temporary fix at best, as another hellgate soon erupts somewhere else.

One thing is clear: the arrival of the Sixth Age is nigh. The Wan Kuei call war councils, and the PCs get involved trying to create a unified front by acting as go-betweens among rival Courts. In the end, even when they're able to unite the various Kuei-jin factions, they're still beaten to the punch by Mikaboshi.

Y'see, the Yama King had been slowly corrupting [[Mage: The Ascension|Strike Force Zero]] from within, and uses the mages as his cats paws against the Wan Kuei.  SF0 agents disrupt Kuei-jin efforts to repair the broken mirrors, and even hunt them down directly.  

Through all this, the Broken Mirrors expand, and the Wicked City invades the mortal realm like a cancer, eating away at reality.  Urban areas soon become part of Mikaboshi's domain, and his demon servitors stalk the shen, forcing many to flee or into servitude.  Even the Cainites are corrupted by the powers of Yomi.

The forces of the August Courts try to hold on to the cities, but they are soon forced from their strongholds by demons and akuma loyal to the Yama King.  Even the savage ''penangallan'' of the Golden Courts are forced to flee into the jungles, but such fighting withdrawals become all-too common as the forces of darkness converge.

Cities around the world become extensions of the Wicked City, becoming bad Blade Runner or Akira parodies.  Then the vile cityscape spreads, taking over places with low ambient Chi before trying to consume dragon lines and nests.  The Kuei-jin congregate to defend the latter, as these remain the only sources of undefiled Yin and Yang Chi.

What follows next depends on the Storyteller. They can move the scene to a desperate last stand at one of the last uncorrupted dragon nests... Or go the other way, with the Kuei-jin going on the attack, with the PCs crashing Mikaboshi's coronation party and trying to assassinate him with an ancient jade dagger.  If the Storyteller prefers to end things with a literal bang, the PCs can instead set off a ''relic nuke'' right underneath Mikaboshi's nose as he crowns himself Demon Emperor, taking him and all the other Yama Kings in attendance out. Yeah.
