(The streets of Virtual Tokyo have become battlefields. Behind one knock
over mini patrol car, two patrol women duck behind the roof as darktroopers
open fire on their position.)
Natsume: They never went over this at the Academy!
Miyuki(firing back with her service pistol): I'm thinking of transfering to
another district, want to come with me? (one negatrooper gets behind
the car and takes aim at the two)
Voice from above: INCOMING!!!!!! TECH SHIELD!!!!! (Allegra powerdives
into the trooper with her shield like a ram and flattens it into
okonomiyaki) Eyew! (She takes to the air and tosses her exploding
prisms into the surrounding troopers) Dead again!
(A motorcyle with a side car jumps over the hill crest and the two people
in the sidecar and the one behind the driver jump into the air. Rumiko
plows the cycle through the mob and jumps up as well. Virgo snaps her
claws out and clawdives at the walking dead. Jody wraps herself in her
battleaura. The battleaura shell grows long, bladed extensions as she
starts spinning when she lands and shreads the ones near her. Zodiak
lets his frustration release itself as he goes into a breserker's rage and
unmercifully severs parts of his opponents and modified blaster rifles.
Rumiko comes down feetfirst on top of a trooper's head and slices downward
with her ninja-to, jumping away as the helmet splits in half with the head
as well.)
Zodiak(finds himself surrounded by troopers who open fire on him):
CRYSTALIS SHEILD!!! (a crystal-like ki shield erects itself around him)
CRYSTALIS OUTWARD BLAST!!!! (the shield explodes outward and
engulfs the troopers around him in red hot ki energy. He blocks a
blast with a thrown ki crystal ball and follows it to cut the trooper
down.)
Virgo(runs her gauntlet of troopers and finds shadow creatures): Oh.
You're only affected by ki attacks, ne? (her claws start to glow
with blue energy) Lucky me! (rips upward with her right hand and
slices the nearest one. Her eyes glow blue with her ki as she throws
herself at the remaining ones)
Natsume: You call for back-up?
Miyuki: You complaining?
Natsume: Not really... (steps back as Allegra touches down and shuts off
her thruster pack)
Allegra(through her faceplate): Move. (the officers move away from the
car. Allegra lifts up the car, bats a trooper who was on the other
side with it, and places it down on it's tires.) Get in and get
away from here! Get help!
(In his castle...)
Yar(through the looking glass): About time they show up! What were they
waiting for, an invitation? (takes a drink) Zodiak's fighting
like a man possessed... But then again... (smiles as he sees a
shadow approaching him from behind) If the shoe fits...
(Back on the street...)
Zodiak(turning to see the shadow approaching him): DIE!!!!!! (drives his
soulblade into the shadow. The shadow jerks back, then it surges up
the blade. The blade turns black as the shadow goes up it and incases
Zodiak in a dark cocoon.) NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Jody(turning her head as she beheads a trooper): BROTHER!!!
Rumiko(jumping at the cocoon with her ki shurikens): Hold on! (gets knocked
back by a ki blast from a small portal that opened up next to Zodiak)
Yar's voice(through the portal): I don't think so, kunoichi! (The portal
closes as the cocooon finishes it's work)
Yar(to the other mirror with PW and Olkon): I just had to do it! It's so
much fun to watch them be helpless! Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
Rumiko(coming up to the back of Zodiak as he kneels and holds his face in
his hands): Scorpio-kun? (Zodiak pulls his hands from his face
and pick up his hat from where it fell besides him.) Are you okay?
Zodiak(places his hat on his head and picks up his now black soulblade):
I'm just fine... (his eyes burn red and he turns to her with them
shaded beneath the brim of his hat) Is the rest of the Band finished
with the last troopers?
Rumiko(looks over her shoulder to see Virgo's Star Strike destroying the
last shadow): It seems that way, Scorp-URK! (She grabs at the soulblade
in her stomach and looks up into the shaded area of Zodiak's face and
his blazing, red eyes) no... uuuuh!! (Zodiak twists the blade, his face
a mask of perverted glee)
Zodiak: Die... Rumiko Sarugakure...
Jody(drives her ki incased fist into Zodiak's face sending him and his
sword into a wall): NO, BROTHER!!!!!!! (catches Rumiko's form in her
arms and backs away from the wall) Rumiko...
Zodiak: BAKUSAI TENKETSU!!!! (the wall explodes and he stands there incased
in his raging aura. Jody shrinks away as she realises that this is
how she looked whenever she attacked the Band in the past) Sister,
that was very unsporting of you...
Jody(tears streaming down her face as she holds Rumiko and tries to stop
her from bleeding as well): no... not you, too, brother...
YAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yar(smiling in pleasure): Ah... It's so good to be recognized for your
hand in things... Remind me to send a thank you card to Darky...
(Yar's castle fills with his laughter)
