        RPML-2025: a look of things to come
       =====================================

        March, 1999

        Petes ran up this hill as fast as his legs could go. The sounds of
combat were getting closer and louder, this frightened him the most.
        The thoughts "let her be okay! let her be okay!" kept repeating in
his mind. His reach for his sword slowly extended as he kept going.
        "<Let her be okay! Let her be okay! Let her...>"
        He stoped dead in his tracks once he reached the top of the hill.
There she was, sword plunged deep into her chest, and as the red armoured
woman withdrew her ruby broadsword, she slumped to the ground.
        "Erica..." Petes' eyes were filled with sadness and fury. "Oh
shit... Oh shit no..." Then the woman decided to retreat and dissapeared,
cackling.
        Petes ran to the bloody body of the one he secretly cared for and
clutched to her.
        "No... Erica... Don't leave me."
        "I... I won't..." Erica said faintly and tried to kiss him, nut then
went limp, blood slowly dripping from her mouth.
        "Erica? ... ERICA!?!?!?"


        March, 2025

        Oniko Ayanami looked up at the seemingly neverending buildings of
New Nerima and snorted.
        "Yeah, I'm not that impressed either. Course we've both lived here
most of our lives..." A male voice came from behind her. She spun around to
see who it was.
        "Oh hi Raku-chan!" She cheerfuly greeted the Hibiki boy and gave him
a light hug.
        "'Oh hi'? I thought you were the one who asked me to come here." he
replied and snickered a little.
        "Yeah, I have something that I think you should have..." Oniko
walked away from her window and took out a narrow item covered in a cloth
from under her bed. "It was my father's. I thought that with the kind of
training your dad gave you..." She trialed off as she took the cloth off of
the large bamboo bokken. "I thought that you should have it." And she handed
it to him handle first. "Here."
        Rakusuke looked at the weapon and noted that it was just the same
weight as his father's umbrella. "<I guess it's made of the same
materials...>" He thought to himself and then looked at Oniko, a small
pleasant smile was on her face. "Thank you, Oni-chan. I'll take good care of
it."
        "Take care of it? I'd expect you'd use it..." Oniko joked and hugged
him again. "Comon, Rezo, Shichi, and the others are waiting for us at Hell's
Capitol."
        "Right, I'll just leave it here though. I don't think I'd be able to
walk around with a bokken at my side in the night club." Raku' said as he
put the bokken back down on Oniko's bed and breifly noticed the gold
lettering ingraved on the handle, 'Purple Thunder, the master bokken'.
        "I don't think it'd be that hard to do, Shichi goes hours before he
notices that he's still wearing his combat spatula." Oniko giggled, led
Raku' out of her room by his arm and closed the door behind her.
        On the wall was a portrait of a happy couple with their names
written on the side. The man had purple-ish hair done up in a pony tail, and
the woman has short red hair. The names read Ayanami Petes & Ayanami Raye.
