"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Amen," the
priest said. Leon and Daley just stood there as
yet other AD Police Officer killed in the line of
duty and was put to rest.
"They die too young." Leon said.
Daley just nodded; but did not reply.
"Come on, let's go." Leon said.
"So where are we going?" Daley asked.
"We are going nowhere. I'm going to go
visit my singing sweetheart." Leon said, while
smiling.
'Two years and he still cannot take her
hints.' Daley thought.
Leon and Daley walked to where they
parked their ADP patrol interceptor. While
smiling, Leon said to Daley. "Priss is going to
sing at 'Hot Legs' tonight and I'm going to be
there." Leon and Daley then got in the ADP
patrol interceptor. Leon got in the driver's side of
the car, started the engine and drove down the
street towards AD Police Headquarters.

Place: MegaTokyo: Spaceport
Time: Friday: Afternoon: 4:45 P.M.
A space shuttle lands on a runway
located at the MegaTokyo Spaceport.
A man walks out of the space shuttle on
to the flight deck and heads for the Customs
Office that is located inside the spaceport. The
Caucasian man was around 6"6' tall. He had
blue eyes, sandy brown hair, and a
medium-heavy build. He was wearing a black
T-shirt, blue jeans, black belt, brown flight
jacket, black shades, black socks, and black
steel-toed boots.
When the man walked up to the woman
who was the Customs Official, the woman said.
"May I see you passport and visa, please."
"Yes ma'am." Jake said as he pulled out
his passport and visa. Then he handed his
passport and visa to her.
"Do you have anything to declare, Mr.
Goodsbe?" The Customs Official asked.
"Just my motorcycle, Miss." Jake replied.
"Did you bring any fruits and/or
vegetables with you, Mr. Goodsbe?" the
Customs Official asked
"No," Jake said.
"Are you here for business or pleasure?"
the Customs Official asked.
"Business." Jake answered
The Customs Official stamped Jake's
passport. Next, she handed Jake's passport and
visa back to him. She then said. "I hope you
enjoy your stay in MegaTokyo."
"I hope so, too. Thank you." Then Jake
walked away.

Place: MegaTokyo: A Car Rental Store Near The
Spaceport
Time: Friday: Evening: 5:15 P.M.
Jake rented a blue motorcycle from a car
rental dealer near the MegaTokyo Spaceport. He
had to pay a 15,000 yen security deposit in cash
for the motorcycle. The blue motorcycle was the
same model motorcycle that Priss 'borrowed'
during her chase to Aqua City.
Jake then started the engine of the
motorcycle and drove it towards Tinsel City.
_______________________________________
Place: MegaTokyo: A Check Point Tollbooth:
Located between Tinsel City and the MegaTokyo
Spaceport
Time: Friday: Evening: 6:45 P.M.
It was Nene's turn in the shift rotation to
work at one the of the check points that were
located all over MegaTokyo. While working at
the check point, Nene was thinking about how
much she enjoyed the gift Sylia gave her; when
Sylia came back from Germany. Those German
Chocolates were both sweet and tasty. �I wish, I
had some more of those German chocolates to
eat,' Nene thought to herself.
Just then a man on a motorcycle drove up
to the check point tollbooth. After Nene checked
the man�s license and the man had paid the toll;
Nene cleared him so that he could pass through
the toll gate.
Right then, the man asked Nene. "Excuse
me, but could you look up for me directions to a
strip bar named 'Hot Legs'?"
'STRIP BAR!?! 'HOT LEGS'!?!' Nene
thought to herself. Nene answered stiffly,
"Actually, if you are looking for directions to the
'night club' named 'Hot Legs', I know where it is.
The directions are..." Nene then gave Jake the
directions to 'Hot Legs'.
"Thank you." Jake said as he headed off
down the highway, towards 'Hot Legs'.

Place: MegaTokyo: A Warehouse That Is
Located Somewhere In The Yokohama District
Time: Friday: Evening: 7:15 P.M.
In a dark and quiet room a man with
spiky yellow hair is sitting in a chair, while
working on a computer. He said to himself. "So
Jake you have returned to Tokyo. The Reverend
will not be pleased. Now what will I use to kill
you. How about a couple of Bu-55Cs. No! How
about a dozen Bu-55Cs! Yes! Once I kill you
Goodsbe; The Reverend will reward me.
BWAHAHAHAHA!!!."
_______________________________________
Place: MegaTokyo: Tinsel City: 'Hot Legs'
Time: Friday: Night: 7:30 P.M.
Goodsbe parked the rental motorcycle
outside the side entrance of �Hot Leg's�, took off
his helmet and went in the front entrance. He
then took a seat on the second floor, overlooking
the mosh-pit and stage. He ordered a coke,
burger and fries. He took note that Hot Leg's was
very crowded tonight. His order was served. He
began to eat, drink and relax. The singer came
out and announced herself as Priss.
Jake would put money that blond hair
was a wig. Though, she looked great in that
outfit.
Priss started singing a song called
"Konya wa Hurricane".
�Good song,� he mused and he just sat
back and enjoyed the show.
_______________________________________
Place: MegaTokyo: Tinsel City: 'Hot Legs'
Time: Friday: Night: 7:45 P.M.
Leon was late for Priss's show as he
walked into Hot Leg's. He didn�t feel like
dancing. He looked around for a table. All were
full except for one on the second floor. He
walked up and noticed someone was already
there. He looked around and saw that there was
nowhere else to sit. �What the hell, I�ll ask him.�
He thought. Leon asked the man sitting at the
table. "Can I sit at this table with you?"
"Sure." Jake said. Leon sat down across
the table from Jake.
"Thanks. What is your name?" Leon
asked.
"Jake Goodsbe. Yours?" Jake asked
back.
"Officer Leon McNichol of the AD
Police." Leon said.
"What police?" Jake asked.
"The AD Police. You know; We fight
boomers." Leon said.
"What is a boomer?" Jake asked.
"What do mean 'what is a boomer'?"
Leon asked.
"Never mind. I am kind of new to 'Tinsel
City'." Jake said.
"So what business are you in?" Leon
asked.
"You could say I used to be in the
retirement business. Boy, that singer sure is
pretty good." Jake said pointing at Priss. Jake did
this to change the subject of the conversation.
"I agree." Leon said smiling.
They then decided to listened to Priss
sing for a while.
About ten minutes later, a group of six
men came up to them. To Leon they looked like
boomers, disguised as humans.
One of them turned to Jake. "Are you
Jake Goodsbe?"
Jake got up and said, "Yes. So."
Meanwhile, Leon had got to a vid-phon
and was calling for back-up.
"You are to come with us or we will kill
you," one of the 55Cs said.
As Jake heard this he stood up and his
voice turned cold, calm and deadly. "Many have
tried. All have died. Lets cut the bullshit. You
are going to kill me whether I come with you or
not. So maybe if you tell me who you work for I
may let you live."
The boomer laughed in Jake's face. It
then through a punch at his face with his right
hand. Jake caught it with his right hand and
crushed the boomer's fist. The boomer noted that
Jake was stronger than a normal human. That
was confirmed when Jake grabbed the boomer's
right shoulder and ripped it out of it's socket.
And then ripped the boomer's head off and
crushed it in his fist. "Okay. Who's next?" He
was answered by the other five boomers literally
coming out of there skins.

Place: MegaTokyo: Tinsel City: 'Hot Legs'
Time: Friday: Night: 8:00 P.M.
Priss was relaxing to the music she was
singing. While she was in the middle of singing
Mad Machine, a blue 55C landed in the center of
the mosh pit. Priss stopped singing in surprise
and shock at what she was seeing. The 55C got
up, ignored her and the crowd and jumped to the
second floor. She looked up and what she saw
made her jaw drop.
Jake used two table knifes one in each
hand and jammed them into the closest boomer's
eyes, killing it instantly. Jake saw the boomer he
threw into the mosh pit head straight for him. He
kicked it so hard, that the boomer went through
the roof and causing it to land in the alley
outside. He took five minutes to kill the other
three boomers. He went outside to get his bike
and see where that boomer went.
_______________________________________
Place: MegaTokyo: Tinsel City: Outside The
Front Entrance To 'Hot Legs'
Time: Friday: Night: 8:05 P.M.
When he reached outside, he saw that the
boomers had totaled the motorcycle he had
rented. But his duffel bag and what was in it
were okay. "Great. I can kiss that security
deposit I made on this motorcycle good-bye," he
thought to himself. He heard a gun being cocked
from behind him. Jake turned around from the
charred husk that was once his bike to see Leon
pointing his Earth Shaker at him.
_______________________________________
Place: MegaTokyo: Tinsel City: Outside The
Front Entrance To 'Hot Legs'
Time: Friday: Night: 8:06 P.M.
As Leon exited 'Hot Legs' he pulled out
his Earth Shaker. Then, he reached into his
pocket and pulled out a grenade. Next, he
attached a grenade to his gun. Finally, as he
approached Jake; he cocked his pistol and
pointed it at Jake. Leon said to Jake. "Don't
move. You are under arrest."
Jake turned around to face Leon. Then he
said. "Let me guess. This is about those
cyberdroids I just fought." Leon just nodded.
Leon said to Jake. "If you don't mind, I
would like to take you down to the station to
answer a few questions."
"Are you trying to arrest me? What law
have I broken?" Jake asked Leon.
"Property damage." Leon stated.
"There are two problems with that. First
of all those monsters attacked me. It was pure
self-defense. Secondly me and my partners own
'Hot legs'. Though, I will have to talk the to the
manger about turning it from a strip bar into a
night club." Jake stated.
"What are you?" Leon asked. As he was
putting up his Earth Shaker gun with a snap-on
grenade hook on the barrel of it.
"Let me put it this way. Inspector
McNichol. The less you know about me, the
saner you'll be," Jake replied.
Jake saw the 55C that he had kicked out
of the club earlier about to kill Leon from behind
with its mouthlaser.
"Get Down!!!" Jake shouted to Leon.
Leon ducked and rolled out of the way of
the boomer's energy blast. Leon then fired his
Earth Shaker. The grenade hit the boomer in the
head decapitating it.
"Thanks," Leon said smiling.
"Didn't mention it." Jake said returning
the smile.
"I need a ride. Do you think I could hitch
a lift from you. My bike seems to be totaled."
Jake asked while pointing at the ruin hunk of
charred metal that was once his bike.
"Sure." Leon said.
Jake heard very faint ripping sounds.
"Leon how far is it to your car?" Jake
asked.
"Not far. Why?" Leon said. Then he saw
red glowing eyes in the shadows behind Jake.
"How many?" Jake said.
"Too many." Leon said.
"Then... Run!" Jake said as he grabbed
his duffel bag and ran towards Leon's car.
As they were running to the ADP Patrol
Interceptor that Leon had. Jake said, "I'm
driving."
"Why?" Leon shouted.
"You can't drive and shoot, now can
you," Jake said.
"Good point," Leon said. He fished out
his keys from his pockets and threw them to
Jake.
Jake caught the keys and said. "Thanks."

Place: MegaTokyo: Tinsel City: On A Street
Parallel To Lady's 633
Time: Friday: Night: 8:25 P.M.
*EEE-OOO!!!* *EEE-OOO!!!* Was the
sound that came from the ADP patrol interceptor
that Jake was driving. While Leon was calling
for back up and as he was using his EarthShaker
to shoot at the boomers outside.
"Okay, I understand. We'll be there,"
Leon said to someone on the CB radio. Leon said
to Jake. "Okay, here's the plan, Jake. ADP has
setup a police barricade that is located two
blocks from here all we have to do is get there."
"Okay, but that easier said than done."
Jake said. He then added. "Get ready we're about
to make a hard left turn."
"OH SHIT!!!" Jake shouted as the car
rounded a left turn at the corner. Jake saw that
traffic had stopped. Jake had no choice but to
turn left on to the sidewalk. He honked the cars
horn and prayed that he would not hit anyone.
"You drive like a manic!!! Look out!!!"
Leon screamed.
Jake swerved the car and just missed the
idiot street pedestrian that did not notice the
ADP Patrol Interceptor's sirens and flashing
lights.
"Hew. That was close." They both said.
"So who taught you to drive?" Leon
asked.
"Some retired courier named Bean." Jake
answered. He then added. "And if you�re
wondering; Bean learned how to drive from a
guy named Elwood. Before Elwood picked-up
his brother Jake from prison."
_______________________________________
Place: MegaTokyo: Tinsel City: Lady's 633
Time: Friday: Night: 8:25 P.M.
Sylia was just closing her lingerie shop
for the night when she heard sirens and then saw
an ADP car flashing its lights while driving on
the sidewalk outside. She saw the car drive from
the right side of her shop to the left side of her
shop.
She did not have time to think about why
the AD Police car was driving on the sidewalk.
Because the Boomers that were following the car
decided to take a short cut and instead of turning
at the street; they decided to go through the shop
instead. Sylia had just enough time to duck
before the Boomers came careening through her
shop. Leaving behind broken glass windows and
debris in their wake.
When Sylia got up off the floor while
shaking broken shards of glass out of her hair.
She saw what was left of her shop. She decided
to call her team by using their pagers. 'Those
boomers have to be stopped before they destroy
something besides my shop,' she thought to
herself.

Time: Friday: Night: 8:30 P.M.
As Jake drove the police car around other
corner. Leon said to him. "Jake, I'm beginning to
think that somebody wants you dead."
"Oh, you think." Jake replied to Leon in a
sarcastic tone.
One of the boomers fired its mouth canon
and hit the engine.
"Got some good news and some bad
news Leon. The good news is I see the police
barricade down the street. The bad news is that
last shot hit the breaks. I can't slow down," Jake
said as they crashed into a store by the AD
Police barricade.
"Are you ok Leon?" Jake asked.
"I'm okay." Leon said.
Leon and Jake then got out of the police
car and ran to the AD Police barricade. After
they ran to the other side of the police barricade,
Leon said to Jake. "Jake, you'll be safe if you stay
here."
At that moment the boomer came into
view of the police barricade. The AD Police then
began to advanced the boomers and opened fire
upon them with their weapons.
_______________________________________
Place: MegaTokyo: Tinsel City: Three City
Blocks Away From Lady's 633
Time: Friday: Night: 8:35 P.M.
After five minutes of watching the AD
Policemen get their asses kicked. Jake could see
that the AD Police could not handle the
situation. He then walked up to one of the AD
Policemen and took his anti-boomer rifle from
him. Jake then slung the rifle over his shoulder.
"Hey!! You can't take that!!" The Officer
shouted. He was about to stop Jake, when Leon
told the AD Policeman it was all right.
Leon then asked Jake. "And just what do
you think you are going to do with that rifle?"
"Oh me. I'm just planning to go do a little
unauthorized retiring." Jake replied back to
Leon. Jake then asked Leon as he made sure that
the rifle was fully loaded, "Am I correct in
assuming that this rifle was loaded with armor
piercing rounds?"
Leon replied. "Yes. But for the armor
piercing rounds to be affective you would have to
shoot the boomers at point blank range. Also,
you would have to be insane to try to get that
close a combat boomer in the first place."
"And who said I was sane. Besides, don't
worry, it's just a couple of light mobile armored
combat machines. I know what I'm doing. It will
be a piece of cake for someone like me," Jake
said to Leon. Then he walked passed the front of
the AD Police barricade to face the boomers.
_______________________________________
Place: MegaTokyo: Tinsel City: Three City

Time: Friday: Night: 8:36 P.M.
Jake walked up to the nearest 55-C, who
was about to kill one of the ADP Officers and
tapped the boomer on the shoulder to get its
attention. Then, using English he said in a real
snooty British accent. "Pardon me Sir. But do
you happen to have any Gray Poupon?"
What went on inside the boomer's mind
at that moment went some thing like this:
'Primary Objective: Destroy Primary
Target: Primary Target Sighted: All Other
Targets Have Become Secondary Objectives.'
'Other Secondary Objectives: Question:
What the hell is Gray Poupon?: Find Out Later.'
'Primary Objective Targeted: Attack.'
The boomer swung his fist at Jake. Jake
dodge it and then said, "I guess you didn't" Jake
then jammed the anti-boomer rifle into the
boomer's mouth and said. "Prepare to eat lead
and shit brains. Asshole!!!." Next, Jake fired the
anti-boomer rifle and killing the boomer.
The other boomers upon seeing their
target, they began to attack Jake.
_______________________________________
Place: MegaTokyo: Tinsel City: Three City
Blocks Away From Lady's 633
Time: Friday: Night: 8:45 P.M.
About ten minutes later, Jake destroyed
the last boomer attacking him by ripping off it's
head from it's body. He held up the boomer's
head in his right hand and asked it in a sarcastic
voice. "Alas poor monster I did not know you at
all. Only went you tried to kill me did we meet.
Though it was interesting, granted. But alas like
all things it must pass. To be or Not to be. Not!
That is the question. Or as my old Mentor use to
say. You want some more!?!" He then crushed
the boomer's head in his right hand. Then he
noticed a strange jet hovering up in the sky.
Next, it landed on top of a building near the
street he was on.
'Hmmm... I wonder who they are?' Jake
thought to himself.
Jake could barely make out the
silhouettes of four figures that exited the strange
jet. He then saw the four figures jump from the
building and land on the paved street below.
Once, they landed on the street. Jake estimated
they were about twenty meters from him. As they
came into view, he noticed that they each
appeared to be wearing some sort of strange
combat armor. And each of their armor had a
different color; One was white, one was blue,
one was green and one was red. Also, from the
shape of their armor, they were probably female.
Then he noticed their feet and he began laughing
loudly.
Upon the Knight Sabers seeing the man
start laughing. Nene asked the man. "Why are
you laughing?"
Jake tried to answer Nene, while
laughing. "Its the hahaha... high heels... hahaha
What kind... hahaha... of idiot hahaha... would
put hahaha... high heel on hahaha... combat
armor? I've seen hahaha... a lot of strange
hahaha... and bizarre things in hahaha my life.
But this hahaha... takes the cake." After Jake
stopped laughing, he added. "Please let me guess
who you are. Considering the welcome
committee I just trashed. You must be the local
Girl Scout troop. So, are you selling any cookies,
today?"
Priss said to Jake in an insulting tone of
voice. "You pathetic gaijin. How dare you laugh
at us."
Jake was then irritated by what the blue
combat suited figure said. So in a harsh tone
voice Jake replied to Priss. "Look, lady. I have
been in this town for less than six hours. In that
time I have already been chased, shot at, cut,
stabbed, burned, and gutted. And that is a new
record even for me! Couple with that the fact that
I have just fought a dozen... What do you call
them?.. Oh Yes!! Boomers!! Plus the fact that I
am suffering from a severe case of jet lag and in
need of some serious sleep. Also, I am probably
in need of some medical attention. So I guess I
do not have the time nor feel like playing with
babes in toy suits so. FUCK OFF!!!"
_______________________________________
Leon was standing behind the AD Police
barricade. When he heard what Jake said to
Priss. Leon chose that moment to pray to God.
"Please Lord don't let Priss lose her temper."
_______________________________________
Priss answered him by kneeing him in
the groin. Hard. *CLANG!!*
_______________________________________
Leon said to himself. "Well, there goes
my faith in the Almighty."
_______________________________________
Jake was kneeling on the ground in pain.
His face was a mixer of both pain and rage. He
reached into his jeans and pulled out a steel
metal cup which had a large dent in the middle
of it. At that moment Jake quietly thanked every
god and deity he knew of that he made a habit of
wearing a cup.
Then he said. "All right. Bitch. You want
to play it this way. Fine. But when I am finished
with you. They are going to have trouble
identifying you with your dental records. SO
LETS DANCE!!!" Then Jake attacked her.
_______________________________________
Place: MegaTokyo: Tinsel City: Three City

Time: Friday: Night: 8:55 P.M.
After other ten minutes of fighting, Jake
thought to himself. 'Shit. I think I may have
bitten off more than I can chew. I have to take
these babes down. And I have to take them down
NOW!!!'
A second later. Nene fired her
Pulse-Strikers at him. He jumped out of the way
of the energy blast that Nene's Pulse-Strikers
made. At this moment one should take note of
what Nene's Pulse-Skrikers really are. They are
basically Electromagnetic Pulse Generator
Beams (EMP Beams for short). What that means
is while they are being fired for 1.2 seconds they
temporally blind Nene's sensors and
hypersensors. Which means when they finished
firing.
"Where did he go?" Nene thought to
herself.
"Nene!! Above you!!" Linna said over
their communicators.
Nene had just enough time to look up
and then saw the but of Jake's rifle collide with
her faceplate. The force of the impact shattered
Nene's faceplate.
Jake caught a glimpse of Nene's face
right before he heard. "Die you bastard!!!" Jake
dodged a sidekick from Priss that would have
been fatal to him.
'That bastard!! How dare he hurt Nene.'
Priss thought to herself. She then did a
roundhouse kick. But this time Jake caught her
out stretched foot. And with his strength, he then
threw her twenty meters down the street.
That was when Linna replaced Priss and
she jumped into fight Jake.
"Priss, are you all right." Sylia asked
Priss over their radios.
Priss answered. "Yes. And don't worry. I
can take that bastard."
Sylia ordered Priss. "No. Don't. Linna
can handle him. You go check on Nene. And
take her back to the KnightWing."
Priss simply replied. "Yes ma'am." Priss
then ran over to Nene to see if she was all right.
Fortunately, when Priss reached her, Nene was
okay.

Jake held-up a steel pipe that was four
meters long in a defensive posture in-front of
Linna. 'Looks like I have a longer reach with my
weapon.' Jake thought to himself.
In the blink of an eye, Linna used her
ribbon cutters to trim the steel pipe down to 1
foot.
Jake looked at his shortened piece of
steel pipe and thought to himself. 'Okay. I had a
longer reach with my weapon.'
Linna followed up her attack by doing a
round house kick aimed at Jake's head. Jake
dodged it. Jake then did a swiping leg kick,
knocking Linna's legs out from under her.
Jake thought to himself, 'I can't keep this
up forever. Think Jake. Think. I can't use some
of my more interesting powers because there are
to many witnesses. But that just means I have to
be more inventive.' Just then he saw an exposed
uprooted power cable in the road. He thought to
himself, 'That might be a crazy enough to work.
All I have to do now, is just time this right'
Next, Jake run up to where he was right in front
the power cable. After that, he yelled to the green
hardsuited figure that was 50 meters down the
street. "YOO!!! BITCH!!! GIVE ME YOUR
BEST SHOT!!!"

Linna heard what Jake said and replied
by first using her jump-jets to jump-up into the
air towards him. Secondly she shot her
wire-daggers at Jake.

At the last second Jake rolled out of the
way of the wire-daggers. The wire-daggers
missed Jake and hit the exposed uprooted power
cable instead. When the wire-daggers cut into
the power cable, the wire-daggers sent 6 million
volts of electricity into Linna's hardsuit. Luckily,
Linna's hardsuit absorbed most of the electricity
from the power cable. Leaving her mildly
shocked but otherwise unharmed.
"Are you all right Linna?" Sylia asked
over her hardsuit's radio.
Linna said. "I'm all right Sylia. But my
hardsuit is fried."
"Okay, Linna. Get back to the
KnightWing. I'll take care of this man." Sylia
said.

'Three down. One to go,' Jake thought to
himself, while he was looking at the white
hardsuited figure. He knew that the adrenaline
rush he was on was beginning to wear off. And
once that happened he would collapse from sheer
exhaustion. Also, he felt like he was going to
collapse from his injures. But, luckily he got his
second wind at that moment. Unfortunately, that
was the moment when the white combat suit
jumped right in front of him. Jake hardly had
time to react.
Sylia was the one to make the first move.
She thrust her right arm with it's laser-sword
extended at Jake. Jake dodged the strike. Then
he grabbed Sylia's arm and threw her over his
shoulder. While she was being thrown through
the air, Sylia use her free arm to grab one of
Jake's arms. And when she landed on her feet
she repeated the exact same move Jake had used
on her. Before Jake realized it he was flat on his
back. Jake had just enough time to realize what
had happened before Sylia shot a burst from her
laser at him. He barely dodged it by rolling out of
the way.
After about five more minutes of
fighting. Jake ended up in a kneeling position,
while he was pointing the large Anti-Boomer
Heavy Rifle up at the white combat suited
figure's faceplate. At point blank range mind
you. At the same time Sylia was pointing her
laser gun less than six inches away from Jake's
own face. It was like an old fashion Mexican
standoff.
Sylia knew that the rifle this man had
pointed at her head was powerful enough to
penetrate her armor and kill her. She knew she
was in a no win situation. She decided that
talking might be the best idea at the moment.
"Are you willing to negotiate about this."
Sylia said.
"I do not negotiate with terrorists. So
how about you take off that helmet and
surrender. I promise that I will let you live.
Although you will probably be a paraplegic for
the rest of your life. When I am finished with
you, you will be alive." Jake stated.
Sylia used her hardsuit sensors to scan
Jake's rifle. Next she smiled. Then she replied.
"No Deal."
"Look lady. I don't think you understand.
I have this gun pointed at your head. What is to
stop me from blowing your brains out even if you
kill me in the process. I'm not afraid to die. I
have already proven that tonight." Jake said.
"Simple. You�re out of ammo." Sylia
said.
"You�re lying." Jake said.
"Go ahead. Shoot. I dare you." Sylia said
as she smiled behind her helmet.
Jake pulled the trigger on his rifle.
*CLICK!*
'OH!!! SHIT!!!' Jake thought to himself.
He had just made a fatal mistake. He then threw
his rifle to the ground and then said, "Okay. Kill
me. But remember you started this fight."
Sylia thought about it for a moment and
decided not to kill him. Then she said. "You�re
right. We started this fight." Then she lowered
her arm. Turned around and walked over to
KnightWing.
As Sylia was about to inter the
KnightWing Jake shouted at her. "Why are you
letting me live?"
"Because you are not worth killing." She
answered back. Then she entered the
KnightWing. When she sat down in the pilots
seat, she looked back in the passenger seats and
asked Nene. "Nene are you ok."
"Yes. I have a few cuts and my faceplate
is destroyed. But other than that I am fine." Nene
answered back.
Sylia was glad that she was fine. "Priss
when we get back to the hanger we are going to
have long talk about you and your bad temper."
Sylia told Priss.
Priss just quietly replied. "Yes, Sylia."

As Jake picked himself up off the
ground, he asked Leon in a weak tone of voice.
"Leon, I have one question for you before I
collapse from my injuries."
"And that is?" Leon asked
"Who were those vigilantes I just
fought?" Jake asked, while becoming pale from
loss of blood and because he was going into
shock.
"They�re called the Knight Sabers." Leon
said.
"Vigilante babes in combat suits. What a
wonderful concept," Jake said. Then he collapsed
on to the pavement.
Leon ordered. "Somebody help me get
this man to a hospital."

The huge double-doors closed behind
Kate Madigan as she entered into Quincy's
office. She then walked up to Quincy's desk.
Quincy was sitting at his desk. Next, she
reported to Quincy, "Chairman. You requested
that someone should notify you personally, if a
Jake Goodsbe came to MegaToyko. Security told
me that he landed in a shuttle this afternoon at
the MegaTokyo Spaceport. Also, he has been
admitted to Angel Central Hospital earlier this
evening because of injures he received from an
attack by boomers and later by the Knight
Sabers. He is expected to make a full recovery
and he will be released from the Angel Central
hospital by tomorrow morning."
Quincy thought about what Madigan said
for a moment. He then said to Madigan.
"Tomorrow morning Madigan, I want you to
bring this Jake Goodsbe to meet me. So that I
may see him with my own eyes."
"Yes Sir," Kate Madigan replied.
"You may go," Madigan turned around
and then left Quincy's office.
'So you have returned, old friend,' The
Chairman thought to himself. 'Life just got a
little bit more interesting,' he added to himself
quietly.

The man with spiky yellow hair fell back
on to the floor, writhing in pain. "YOU DID
WHAT!?!" The figure in the shadows said
loudly.
The man with spiky yellow hair asked in
a weak voice. "Reverend. Why are you so upset
about me sending a dozen Bu-55C Boomers to
kill one pathetic gaijin?"
The Reverend said, "That gaijin's name is
Jake Goodsbe. And I would call him many
things. But, I would not call him pathetic. Over a
decades worth of planing and preparing may
have been jeopardized because of what you did
tonight. If he doesn't die from his injures, which
is very unlikely. If and when he recovers from
his wounds, he is going to began 'hunting' for
whoever sent those boomers after him. HE IS
NOW ON HIS GUARD!!!"
The man with yellow spiked hair said,
"So what's so important about him. All I know
about him is that he is just an ex-cop."
The Reverend replied, "Firstly, he is an
Ex-Blade Runner. He is not just an ex-cop. There
is a difference. Secondly, although you would not
find it in any of GENOM's records, from early
2022 to late 2024, he worked as Quincy's
left-hand man. He left before the Quake. But, he
was Quincy's lapdog. Also he is one of the few
people on the planet that Quincy trusts not to
stab him in the back. And probably the closest
thing Quincy has to an actual friend. It's not him
I'm afraid of. It is his allies that I am afraid of."
The man with yellow spiked hair said,
"He was indirectly responsible for the death of
your...... I mean our Creator. I thought you would
be pleased that I would try and kill him."
The Reverend said. "I am glad that you
tried to kill him. But you should have come and
told me before you tried something like this. I
have learned that discretion is the better part of
valor. And that sedulity is one of the pillared of
desecration. I would have suggested that you
should have poisoned him with something like
say, Risen or VX nerve gas. My plans are finally
coming to fruition. I have taken into account for
GENOM, the Knight Sabers, the Hou Bang, the
Chang Group, G&B, AD Police and USSD. And
I can take him into account. He will not be a
problem. But do not try to kill him again without
coming to me first." Then the Reverend added in
a very dark voice, "Or you will regret it."
"Yes Sir," Was all the yellow spiky
haired man said.

After the KnightWing landed and
everyone was out of their hardsuits and wearing
their street clothes. Sylia decided to have a word
with Priss about her temper.
"Priss you have got to control your
temper better," Sylia said.
"He started it by insulting me like that!!
How was I suppose to know that when he got up
he was going to be that angry!!" Priss stated in
her own defense.
"When you knee a man in the groin. If
and when he does get up, he is going to be
extremely angry." Sylia said.
Right after Sylia finished, Linna said to
Priss, "Sylia is right, Priss. You have got to learn
to control your temper better." Linna then said to
Nene, as she was treating Nene's facial injuries
with a first aid kit, "Will you hold still for a
moment."
"I'm trying. But it hurts when you put the
disinfectant on." Nene complained.
Linna said as she put a bandaid on
Nene's cheek. "Look Nene. You only have to
worry about having a few bruises and a small
cut. When that cut heals, it won�t even leave a
scar. So don�t worry. Besides, you didn't need to
worry about having a hairdo that makes you look
like the Bride of Frankenstein. It will probably
take from a few days to a week before my hair
returns to normal." Linna added as she used her
right hand to feel her black spiky hair.
Nene said to Linna, "Thanks Linna."
The Knight Sabers then spent the next
couple of hours talking to each other.

A younger looking Jake is driving down
a U.S. country road in a pick-up truck. While
listening to some music. When he is nearly
blinded by a bright flash of light causing him to
crash into the ditch by the side of the road. Then
the ground begins to shake. He gets out of the
car and looks into the sky and sees several large
mushroom clouds in the horizon. He then sees a
wave of fire heading towards him. Jake ducks
back down into the ditch as deep as he can go.
The wave of fire headed right over him. And
with it comes a sound that sounds like the roar of
God himself. Jake tried to cover his ears from the
sound and then screamed with it.

Jake awoke in a cold sweat. He noticed
that he was in a hospital bed and that his
wounds were bandaged and he was only wearing
his jockey shorts. 'At least I'm not wearing one of
those damn hospital gowns,' he thought to
himself. He also noticed his right hand was
cuffed to his bed-rail. He heard people talking in
the hall outside of his room. He decided to listen
in on the conversation.

Leon shouted at the doctor, "What do you
mean that he is not a boomeroid!?!"
"All the tests we did show that he is not a
boomeroid nor a boomer." The doctor said, "See.
It says it right here on the chart." The doctor
showed Leon the chart he was holding and
pointed out what he was talking about. "As you
can see. The tests show that he is human." The
doctor finished.
"Okay. The tests show that he is human.
But that still does not explain how he is so damn
fast and strong or the fact that most of his
injuries were healed by the time we got him
here." Leon said.
The doctor answered Leon by saying.
"Ahh. But that is when we looked at one of the
blood samples we took from him and put it
under a molecular scanner. We found that there
where thousands of nanities in his cells at the
molecular level. And we also found that he had
been genetically altered slightly."
"But what you just showed me said that
he was human. But that blood sample means that
he is a boomeroid." Leon replied.
"No, no, no. You do not understand. To
be a boomeroid you have to replace at least
seventy percent of your body with cybernetics.
He has all his original body parts and organs."
The doctor said .
"Hmmm. Interesting." Leon said almost
to himself.
Daley walked up to Leon. He was
holding a think folder in his right hand. "Leon
your not going to believe who your mystery
friend really is." Daley said.
"Who? Superman's evil twin brother. No,
wait that's Bizarro" Leon said.
"Ha, ha. Very funny. Not. But seriously
he use to worked as a cop in LAPD in the early
20's. He was better known as a Blade Runner.
His last case took him here to Tokyo before the
quake." Daley said.
"He's an ex-cop. Oh boy. Just great."
Leon said.

Daley noticed that someone had turned
on the TV inside Jake's hospital room. The TV
was loud enough so that he could hear the
sounds from outside Jake's hospital room.
Daley said to Leon. "Leon, I think your
friend has woken up."
Leon noticed that the TV was on in
Jake's room. Leon said to Daley, "Thanks Daley.
I don't notice."
Daley replied. "No problem." He then
said to Leon. "Leon. I'm sorry, I am not going to
be able to meet your friend today. But I have
some work to do back at the department. Bye."
Leon said to Daley, "See you later Daley.
Bye." And with that said. Daley started walking

After Leon saw Daley enter the elevator.
He decided to walk into the hospital room that

doing this morning?"
Leon replied. "Hello Jake. I am tired. But
other than that I am doing fine. How are you?"
Jake answered Leon by saying,
"Actually, considering what happened last night.
I am feeling great this morning."
Leon decided to asked Jake, "Jake, I have
to ask you. What possessed you to go fight those
boomers by yourself?"
"What can I say. But that I am the
Redneck, Ditto-Head, Terminator of Blade
Runners." Jake answered in a humorous tone of
voice.
Jake then proceeded to talk to Leon for
about half an hour.

Jake had just finished putting on his
clothes and boots. He was just about to check out
of the hospital when a woman walked into his
room and asked him. "Hello. Are you Jake
Goodsbe?"
Jake answered her by saying, "Yes I am.
And might I inquire as to who you are?"
The woman answered, "My name is Kate
Madigan. Chairman Quincy has sent me to come
get you."
"So he sent you to come get me, Ms.
Madigan. How is the modern day Earl of
Warwick doing these days?" Jake asked in a
slightly cocky tone of voice.
"Who?" Madigan asked in a confused
tone of voice.
"The Chairman of Genom." Jake replied
in a flat tone of voice.
Madigan answered, "Chairman Quincy is
doing fine. Now, can we get going? Chairman
Quincy is waiting for us to return to Genom
Tower. And he is a busy man."
Jake said. "I am sorry, Ms. Madigan. But
I am not going anywhere."
"What?" Madigan stated. Jake saw what
looked like a large man walking into the his
room. Madigan then said, "I would prefer that
you come with us by choice."
Jake said, "Whoa. Stop. There is no need
for violence right now. I don't think you
understand what I meant to say."
Madigan asked Jake. "What did you
mean to say?"
Jake answered Madigan by saying.
"What I meant to say was that I am not going to
see the Chairman wearing this clothing. Jeans, a
T-shirt and boots are comfortable to wear. But I
am not going to wear this kind of clothes when I
go see the Chairman. That would be
disrespectful to both me and him."
"That is understandable. But what are
you going to do about your clothes?" Madigan
asked.
Jake answered, "Well, I was planning on
going to a specialty clothing store, that I know
about. The clothing store is called Vinny's.
Vinny's specializes in making Italian business
suits." Then he asked Madigan, "How about you
give me two to three hours to get to Vinny's and
find myself some proper clothing to wear? Is that
okay?"
Madigan thought about the question for a
few moments. Then she said to Jake, "Mr.
Goodsbe. Considering what you are wearing
right now, I can understand that you would want
to present yourself in a more respectable manner
than you are right now. I will pick you up in
front of Vinny's in three hours. And keep in mind
that I will not wait for you a second time." With
that said, Madigan turned and left Jake's room
with her boomer bodyguard following right
behind her.

After a taxi dropped Jake off in front of a
specialty clothing store that was called Vinny's.
Vinny's was a clothing store that specialized in
make Italian business suits.
As Jake walked into Vinny's, he saw one
of the tailors. He walked up to the tailor and
said. "Hello. My name is Jake Goodsbe."
The Tailor said, "Hello Mr. Goodsbe.
Welcome to Vinny's. What can I do for you
today?"
Jake answered the tailor by saying, "I
need you to make me one of your best Italian
business suits. Also, I am in a hurry. I have an
appointment to see a very important man today."
The Tailor asked. "My I asked? Who
would be so important as to make you be in such
a rush?"
"I have an appointment to see the
Chairman today." Jake said.
"The Chairman of what?" The Tailor
asked.
"Do I have to spell it out to you in big
bold letters or can you figure it out by yourself.
THE Chairman." Jake said.
Needless to say when the tailor figured
out what Jake was talking about, his jaw
figuratively hit the floor. When the Tailor pulled
himself together he asked. "How long till you
have to meet him." The Tailor begin to smile.
The Chairman was going to see one of his
business suits. He realized that he was going to
have to make this man the best business suit he
ever made in his life.
"Noon. Why? Is that enough time for you
to make me a business suit or should I leave?"
Jake asked.
"No. No. No. That is more than enough
time." The Tailor said and then he added. "Will
you be paying with cash or credit card.
"Do you take Visa?" Jake asked.
"Gold or platinum?" The Tailor
responded.
"Platinum," Jake answered smiling.
"Yes we do." The Tailor said returning
the smile. Then he went to go get his assistants.

The Tailor and his assistants had finished
Jake's Italian suit in record time.
Jake finished putting on his new Italian
suit by getting into his Italian coat, Italian hat
and his new Ray-Ban shades. He then walked-up
to a full-length mirror in the clothing store and
he looked at himself wearing his new Italian suit
in the mirror. "Damn. I look good." Jake said.

Place: Tinsel City: Vinny's
Time: Saturday: Morning: 10:55 A.M.
A black Sedan drove-up and stopped
in-front of Vinny's. The Fighting Boomer that
was driving the black Sedan exited the car. The
boomer bodyguard then walked to the back
driver's side door and opened it for Kate
Madigan. Madigan then got of the black Sedan
and walked to the front door of the clothing
store. The boomer opened the front door for Ms.
Madigan to walk inside. Then the boomer
accompanied her inside.
Madigan walked-up to a clean-cut
Caucasian man wearing an Italian suit &
Ray-band shades and asked, "Sir, have you seen
a man that goes by the name of Jake Goodsbe."
The man said politely and with a smile,
"I might know him, ma'am. If you could give me
a description of the man. That would be helpful."
Madigan asked, "He is about your height
and build? Who also looked like he had not
shaved his face in over a week?" She then added
forcefully, "Now do you know him?"
The man took-off his Ray-band shades
and answered, "Ahh. But of course dear I know
Jake Goodsbe. Because he's me." Then Jake
added, "It's nice to meet you again Ms.
Madigan."
Although Madigan did not outwardly
show it, she was surprised when the man
revealed himself to Jake Goodsbe. She said to
Jake, "Well Mr. Goodsbe, I see that you have got
yourself a new set of clothes."
In reply, Jake said to Madigan, "Please.
Call me Jake. And you look good yourself, Ms.
Madigan. We should get going. I don't want to
be late for my appointment with the CEO of
Genom. But first, can you ask you boomer to
open the trunk to your car. So I can put my
duffel-bag in there."
After Jake put his duffel-bag in the trunk.
Madigan and Jake entered the back seat of the
black Sedan. Madigan entered from the right
side of the car. Jake entered from left side of the
car. After the boomer sat itself behind the
driver�s seat. It started the engine of the black
Sedan. And it started driving towards Genom
Tower
Jake decided to pullout a CD from his
inside coat pocket. He then asked Madigan, "Do
you mind if I listen to some music?"
"No at all," Madigan replied.
Jake put the CD in the CD player. Then
he pressed the play button. And the speaker in
the car began playing 'In the Hall of the
Mountain King'.

As Jake walked with Madigan through
the main lobby of Genom Tower he passed by a
women who reminded him of a man he once
knew. But from what he knew about
MegaTokyo's resent history, that guy was long
since dead. Jake decided to follow up on this
little mystery at a later date as he entered one of
the personnel elevators with Madigan.
When the elevator doors closed Jake
asked Kate, "Ms. Madigan, what exactly is your
position in the Genom higherarchy?"
"I am Special Assistant to Chairman
Quincy," Kate answered.
"Ahh. Mason's old job. Boy am I glad
that bastard is dead," Jake said.
"Watch your mouth. I will not have any
of that," Kate Madigan warned.
"Oh. Please. Do not try to cover for
Mason. He's not worth it. Besides I met Brian J.
Mason before. He was a snake and an asshole.
And I am very happy he is dead," Jake said
while smiling.

The woman that Jake was thinking about
at that moment was walking up to the front desk
in the Main Lobby of Genom Tower. She then
asked one of the receptionist at the front desk for
directions to the Job Application Department in
Genom Tower. After receiving the directions to
the Job Application Department. It took her a
few minutes of walking to reach the Job
Application Department. Next she entered one of
the offices. And finally she walked up to the
office secretary and said. "Hello. I have an
appointment here to apply for the secretarial job
that was in the MegaTokyo Times Newspaper."
"Please. It will be just one moment. So
sit down and wait," said the secretary. The
woman sat down on a seat that was across the
room.

"Ahh. Come in and have a seat Ms." The
woman sat down in a chair in front of the desk
where the Manager was sitting and sat her
briefcase that she was carrying beside her chair.
" I hear that you are applying for that secretarial
job. I trust that you have your credentials and
resume in order," said the Manager.
"Yes I do," the woman said. She opened
her briefcase and pulled out some files. Then
handed the files to the Manager.
The Manager took the file and as he was
reading the files he asked. "And what is your
name is Ms.?"
"Larson. Jamie Larson," She said
smiling.
"Well Ms. Larson everything looks in
order. So welcome to the Genom family." The
Manager said while smiling.
Jamie though to herself as she returned
the smile. "Yes, one step at a time, all I have to
do is be patient. I have all the time in the world."

As the huge double-doors closed behind
Madigan and Jake. Jake saw Quincy sitting at an
oak desk. Jake then said to Quincy, "Hello Dr.
Eldon Tyrell."
"Hello Jake Goodsbe," Quincy replied.
"Boy, Eldon you have been busy," Jake
stated to Quincy.
"Yes I have. Has it been 10 years
already?" Quincy asked.
"Yes, it has been 10 years and like I said,
I have returned. What is it by the way. With you
and large monolithic structures?" Jake asked.
"You wouldn't understand," Quincy
stated.
"Try me," Jake said.
"Excuse me but do you know the
Chairman and why do you call him Eldon?"
Madigan asked. Both of them looked at her.
"Yes. I am probably Eldon's only friend
on this planet," Jake replied. Then Jake looked at
Quincy and asked. "Can I trust her?"
"Yes," Quincy said.
"Ahh. Where to start. Oh. I guess it
began with my first trip to Tokyo," Jake began.
_______________________________________
Place: Genom Tower: Quincy's Office
Time: Saturday: Morning: 11:50 A.M.
"So let me get this straight. In the early
Twenties a case you were on led you from LA to
Tokyo. At which point you met Quincy. After a
terrorist attack in which you not only saved the
life of Quincy but other people as well, you
found out that Quincy was not human. But an
android. Who originally was the Eldon Tyrell
who had his mind downloaded in an android.
And instead of retiring him in like you should
have you lied and said he was human. Saving his
life for a second time. Then you made a deal with
him that you would help him take control of The
Tyrell Corporation which at the time Genom
was a subsidiary of. And still technically is. And
how you did that was you bought The Tyrell
Corporation. BUT IF YOU BOUGHT TYRELL
CORPORATION!!! THAT MEANS YOU
OWN GENOM!!!" Madigan screamed in horror.
"No. I don't own Genom. That would be
illegal. I own fifty-five percent of the stock in a
company named Tyrell Corporation Which owns
fifty-five percent of Genom stock. So I own the
company that owns Genom." Jake answered.
"But isn't that the same thing?" Madigan
asked.
Jake answered Madigan by saying. "No it
isn't. Besides sense Quincy owns 15% of Genom
stock personally and owns the other 45% of The
Tyrell Corporation stock. Plus I gave him control
of all my stocks so it does not matter. Also the
two main reasons why Quincy has alluded this is
because; Reason number one is that the income
tax in the U.S. is cheaper than the income tax in
Japan. GENOM is saving billions of yen by
doing it this way. And reason number two is that
I am insurance to make sure that no one that
Quincy does not like, takes control of GENOM if
something happened to him." Jake then asked
Quincy and Madigan. "Now does anyone besides
me feel like eating some lunch. Quincy, can you
recommend a good restaurant that I can find in
or near Genom Tower? Jake asked.
"Yes. I would recommend the Arena.
Personally." Quincy replied.
_______________________________________
Place: Genom Tower: Arena: A Restaurant That
Is Located Inside Genom Tower
Time: Saturday: Noon: 12:10 P.M.
The 'Arena' was considered the best
restaurant located inside Genom Tower. The
reason why they named it the Arena was because
there were multivids set up all over the
restaurant. All of the multivids showed boomers
fighting in a deathmatch gladiator style fighting
arena. The area where the boomers actually
fought was located deep inside Genom Tower.
Two dozen Bu-96C Recon Boomers stood guard
in case the fights got out of hand. The Bu-96Cs'
also used their advanced sensors to broadcast the
fights to the 'Arena'. The Executives who came
to the 'Arena' usually placed bets on the boomers
that would fight in the matches that were haled
that day. The boomers that fought were usually
newer and/or experimental models.
Now when an Executive of Genom came
into the 'Arena' for lunch. They placed their bets
on a datapad they were given when they entered
the restaurant. The datapad they were given
listed the boomers that were going to fight that
day and the boomers' stats, chances, weaponry,
ect... Also the chefs that worked at the 'Arena'
catered to the Executive's taste in food. They
prepared all types of exotic foods from all over
the world. You name the food. They had that
type of food.
As the Waiter saw Chairman Quincy
walk-in through the entrance to the 'Arena'. He
walked over to Quincy and said, "Chairman
Quincy. It is an honor to serve you, your lunch
today."
When everyone heard the words
'Chairman Quincy'. They immediately stopped
what they were doing. Stood and politely bowed
to Quincy.
Everyone continued standing until
Quincy said, "You may sit now." Then everyone
went back to what they were doing.
"If you will please follow me. Your table
is right this way," the waiter said.
As the waiter escorted Quincy to his
table. Madigan followed right behind Quincy.
With Jake taking up the rear of the line. When
Jake passed the table where the datapads were
he decided to pick one of them up. And after a
few keystrokes Jake not only got the computer in
the datapad to translate it's information from
Japanese into English. But Jake also got it to list
all the boomers it had on file.
After Quincy, Madigan and Jake sat
down at the Quincy's table. The waiter took their
orders. Quincy order a steak, Madigan ordered a
salad and Jake order a club sandwich.
After Madigan finished her salad, she
asked Jake, "What are you looking at?"
"I'm looking at the list of boomers that
Genom has developed over the years. But what I
am wondering is about this boomer. The Iron
Lizard. If what I read about it is correct, than
Genom did not develop the Iron Lizard. But a
Dr. Yuri. Why is Genom using such an inferior
boomer?" Jake asked as he hand the datapad he
was using, which had information about the Iron
Lizard on it. To Madigan. To let her look over
the information Jake had read about the Iron
Lizard.
"While the Iron Lizard was not built by
Genom it was perfect for the RPB Project. Which
stands for Remote Piloted Boomer," Madigan
answered as she handed the datapad back to
Jake.
The waiter walked over to Kate and said,
"Miss. Madigan there is a call for you."
"I will take it in private," Madigan said.
She did not want to trouble Quincy with the
normal day-to-day problems the Genom had. "I
am sorry Chairman. I will be back momentarily."
Madigan said, then she got up and left.
When Madigan left. Jake while looking
at Madigan (who was busy talking to someone
on a vid-phon at the moment), he said to Quincy,
"I see that you have reinstated the original
experiment."
"Yes. You could say that. I believe that
the experiment is sound. Although the first one
fell in love with her hunter. And the next one
was kidnapped; She ran away right before the
quake and is believed to be dead. But I believe
this last attempt will prove successful." Quincy
said.
"So what model type did you use as a
template for her?" Jake asked.
"A Bu-33S boomer if you are
wondering." Quincy replied.
"Fascinating. Does she know?" Jake
asked.
"Like all the others, no she does not."
Quincy answered.
Jake then said to Quincy. "Interesting.
Now Eldon, I for one personally think what you
have done with Genom so far is great. But some
of the Associates I work for are not happy that
Genom is not ready to go miltiversal yet. Namely
Phoenix Crow in particular." Jake said.
_______________________________________
Place: Genom HQ: Quincy's Office
Time: 2022 AD: Friday: Night: 10:30 P.M.
Quincy sat in his office chair at his desk.
Trying to figure out how to solve some problems
that had come up in resent weeks. For instance
the problems he was having with Wiz
Laboratories, BioEscape Corporation [BEC] and
Dr. Katsuhito Stingray in particular. Plus the fact
that to many people were asking about Quincy's
own origins. Then Quincy heard someone
chuckling in the shadows of his office.
Quincy pulled out his pistol from under
his desk. He then stood. And pointed his pistol at
the figure in the shadows of his office. "All right.
Come out into the light with your hands up,"
Quincy said.
The figure in the shadow stepped close
enough into the light that he showed a silhouette
of himself. He was around seven feet tall and had
a build that would put Arnold Schwarzenegger
to shame. But it was the figure's eyes that got
Quincy's attention. His eyes were not human. His
eyes were almost solid black orbs. The type of
black in which you could see the dark abyss
itself reflected back upon you. To be blunt, when
Quincy stared into his eyes, it completely
unnerved him.
The figure then made a hand gesture.
Quincy's pistol was pulled from his hand by
some unknown force. Next it hovered on top of
Quincy's desk for a moment. Then it melted.
Leaving a metal puddle on Quincy's desk. The
metal puddle was ice cold when Quincy touched
it with his right index finger. The metal puddle
then evaporated into vapor.
While standing in the shadows, the
figure said, "Sit down Quincy. Or should I say
Dr. Eldon Tyrell. Interesting. A human mind in
the body of a replicant. I bet your body has a live
span longer than the 4 year limit that most other
replicants have. But please sit down I am not
here to hurt or kill you, Eldon. Actually I am
here to offer you a deal that will have you and
your company; Genom in many different ways."
Quincy sit down in his desk chair. Shock
evident on his pale face. 'HE KNEW!!!' Quincy
thought to himself. "Who are you!?! What are
you!?!" Quincy said. Almost shouting at the
figure.
As the figure moved, the shadows moved
with the figure. Not allowing Quincy to see what
the figure truly looked like. Then the figure
spoke, "My name is Phoenix Crow. 'The
Anti-Twister.' And the Association I belong to is
interested in your subsidiary company Genom.
They tell me that Genom will surpass Tyrell
Corporation. That however powerful you think
Tyrell Corporation is at the moment. It will be
nothing compared to what Genom will become.
The deal is this. Allow my Associates and I to
buy controlling stock in the Tyrell Corporation in
which Genom is a subsidiary and when Genom
is ready. We will take Genom to realities beyond
your imagination, Eldon."
"What is to stop you from killing me if I
give you controlling stock of Tyrell
Corporation?" Quincy asked.
"Very simple. My Associates and I do
not just want just Genom. But you also. The only
powers that we want from Genom are to have
access to anything that Genom & Tyrell
Corporation has to offer. And concerning you,
Quincy. If you die. We pick the next CEO of
Genom. But, we will not have the power to
replace you, Eldon. That is if you agree this
deal." Phoenix Crow said.
Quincy thought about it for a second.
Then he said. "Okay. I agree to this deal."
Phoenix Crow then said while smiling. "I
am glad to hear that. Now we will be sending
you a go-between or representative. I believe you
already have met him. His name is Jake
Goodsbe. It depends on your point of view
whether he is our slave or our servant."
"Yes, I have met him before. He and his
friends saved my life and the lives of a few
others from a terrorist attack a few nights ago."
Quincy said.
"Good. Now we want ALL our dealings
with Genom and Tyrell Corporation will be done
through Jake Goodsbe. ALL documents
concerning My Associates and I will be put in
Jake Goodsbe's name. In return for agreeing to
this deal, Eldon. We are going to allow Jake
Goodsbe to work for you. You should keep in
mind that Jake Goodsbe is both a competent
mage and esper. Among other abilities. He will
know if you are lying to him. He will also do
what you tell him to do to the best of his
abilities. But his powers and abilities do have
their limits. He will work for you until he leaves
Tokyo. Do you understand this, Eldon?"
Phoenix Crow asked; While still hidden in the
shadows.
Quincy answered. "Yes. I understand."
Quincy then asked Phoenix Crow. "How are you
planning to pay for that much of Tyrell
Corporation stock?"
"My Associates and I will be paying for
that much of Tyrell Corporation stock in an
assortment of precious metals," answered
Phoenix Crow.
"And where are you going to acquire that
amount in precious metals?" Quincy asked.
Phoenix Crow replied to Quincy�s
question by saying. "Eldon Tyrell, don't worry
yourself about the exact details. My Associates
and I have all ready acquired that amount in
precious metals." Phoenix Crow then said to
Quincy. "I will leave you now. Jake Goodsbe
will be here in about an hour." With that,
Phoenix Crow returned to the shadows from
whence he came.
_______________________________________
Place: Genom HQ: Quincy's Office
Time: 2022 AD: Friday: Night: 11:30 P.M.
About an hour later Quincy's secretary
buzzed his office's vidphon. Quincy set the
vidphon for voice only. He then said into the
vidphon. "Yes."
The secretary answered through the
vidphon. "Sir. There is a Mr. Goodsbe here to see
you." The secretary then asked Quincy. "Sir,
should I let him into your office?"
Quincy answered, "Yes. Let him in."
Jake entered Quincy's office. He walked
up to Quincy's desk and sat in one of the chairs
in front of Quincy's desk.
Quincy said to Jake, "Hello Mr.
Goodsbe."
Jake said to Quincy, "Hello Dr. Eldon
Tyrell. And call me Jake. Not Mr. Goodsbe."
Quincy said. "Look Jake. I'm going to get
to the point. Why should I trust a gaijin like you
in the first place?"
Jake replied to Quincy�s question by
saying, "Because Quincy, I'm the only guy on the
planet that would probably not stab you in the
back; when the first chance arose to do so. Also,
I do not want your job, Quincy. Your job is not
worth the stress that it would being me. Though,
that's just my opinion on it on that subject."
"Okay. Now who are these Associates
that Phoenix Crow and you work for?" Quincy
asked Jake.
Jake answered Quincy by saying. "The
Associates I work for generally are made-up of
Gods, Angles, ArchAngels, Deities, Devils,
Demons, ArchDemons, Overseers, and
Metabeings. You can consider them as the
misfits of the Miltiverse. But I think of them
personally as the assholes of the Multiverse.
Also I think you should know Quincy that these
Beings value rat excrement higher than they do a
mortal life." Jake then added, "But, I think there
is something you should know about Phoenix
Crow. He has been known to get a little trigger
happy with the mega-doomsday-weapons from
time to time."
"I will keep that in mind. Now, for my
final question. Why does Phoenix Crow want
everything that involves him and his Associates
to go through you?" Quincy asked Jake.
"Very simple. It is a lot easier to cut one's
'ties' to something if you use one man instead of
a group of people to keep a secret." Jake
answered.
"What do you mean by cutting one's
'ties'?" Quincy asked.
Jake said. "What I mean about cutting
one's 'ties' is that. If the world finds out about
this little deal of ours. What will happen to me is
that..." He thought for a moment on how to
phrase it. Then he added, "I, myself will be
'retired'. But don't worry nothing will happen to
you, Eldon."
"Oh. I understand now." Quincy said.
"Okay, now lets get down to business,
Eldon." Jake said.
_______________________________________
Place: Genom Tower: Arena
Time: Present Day: Saturday: Noon: 12:20 P.M.
At that moment, the multivid showed
two Advanced Battle Boomers (BU-14Bs') were
fighting one BU-12B Commando Type Boomer
The BU-12B Commando Type Boomer was
using a two handed smartgun. Also the BU-12B
Commando Type Boomer was using a blastproof
antiballistic shield mounted on its left shoulder
to protect itself from the two BU-14Bs'. The duel
ended when the BU-12B CT destroyed the two
BU-14Bs'.
Jake pulled out a dollar from his wallet.
And he then said to Quincy, "Here Eldon. You
won that bet we made ten years ago. Mason
would get himself killed before I returned."
Quincy took the dollar and said. "I am
glad you did not forget our bet."
"Oh, By the way, Eldon. How are your
two prodigies doing?" Jake asked Quincy.
"They are doing fine." Quincy replied.
Jake said. "Although, I am glad to hear
that. I always thought that experiment was a bad
idea. But, sense you were the one to decide to do
that experiment. I won't complain. Because I
trust your judgment in that matter."
Quincy then said to Jake. "I am reassured
that you understand that. When Madigan returns,
she will be giving you a tour of Genom Tower.
After Madigan finishes giving you, your tour.
You and her will then return to my office and we
will finish conducting our business."
Jake said. "Yes. Sir."
_______________________________________
Place: Genom Tower: Quincy's Office
Time: Saturday: Night: 7:35 P.M.
After Madigan finished giving Jake a
tour of Genom Tower. They returned to Quincy's
office. Quincy, Madigan and Jake then spent the
rest of the day reviewing financial reports and
budget forms from the past ten years. When they
finished. Jake said to Quincy. "I think Phoenix
and his Associates will be more than pleased
with the progress that Genom has had already. It
looks like Genom will be ready for Phase Two in
a year to two years. And I almost forgot to ask
you. How are your niece and nephew doing? It
has been a decade since I've seen them."
Quincy answered Jake by saying.
"Although, I have not personally seen them for
about sixteen years. I have kept tabs on them
from time to time. Right now, my niece runs a
successful lingerie shop in District 3 among
other things. And her younger brother, my
nephew, is studying in Germany, under a college
of their deceased father. Madigan will now
escort you to a side entrance on the ground.
Where a valet, driving a black Sedan will drive
you to any location in MegaTokyo. Good-bye,
Jake."
"Good-bye, Eldon. I hope you have a
pleasant night." Jake said. He then turned and
left the Quincy's office for the elevator, while
being escorted by Ms. Madigan. The
double-doors closed behind them.

"Kate. I think you should know that not
only am I super-humanly fast and strong. But
also I can read minds. And yes you are quite
right I am a savage. But I am an educated
savage," Jake said as Madigan's jaw hit the
floor. She was wondering at the moment how
many secrets she had revealed just by being near
him and what her chances were if she tried to kill
him with her .454 Magnum Auto Pistol. "I
wouldn't try it if I were you. And don't worry. I
only do surface scans; most of the time." Jake
added.
Madigan signed in relief. She then asked,
"If that is true. Then why does Quincy not have
you killed?"
"Good question. First of all I read
Quincy�s mind and he thinks of me as a friend.
Plus, he knows I will not stab him in the back.
Second he views me as I do him as a tool to be
used. And third before I left ten years ago I
helped Quincy in a lot of ways besides making
that investment," Jake answered. "Besides, did
you know he's watching us right now," Jake
added as he pointed at the elevator security
camera.
"Yes," answered Madigan.

Quincy smiled as he watched them from
his office. He sat back in his office chair
wondering how long it would take for Madigan
to figure out that not only was Jake a
mind-reader but also a mind-shaper.

When Madigan and Jake reached one of
the side entrances of Genom Tower. Jake asked
Madigan, "Kate. What do you dream about?"
"Sheep. Why?" Kate Madigan replied.
"Are you sure it is not electric sheep you
dream about?" Jake asked.
"What do you mean?" Asked Kate.
A black Sedan drove up to the front of
the stairs that led to the side entrance of Genom
Tower. The Bu-55C boomer that was driving the
Sedan, got out and open the right back door for
Jake. Jake then turned to face Madigan and said
to her. "Never mind. Good night Miss Madigan.
Hope you have pleasant dreams." Jake then
walked down the stairs and entered the back seat
of the car. The Bu-55C closed the door behind
Jake. After that, the Bu-55C seated itself in the
driver's seat of the black Sedan. It started the
engine of the black Sedan and drove Jake to the
destination of his choice.

Place: Tinsel City: Cest Lavie (Pool-Bar)
Time: Saturday: Night: 9:00 P.M.
Sylia entered the nightclub and walked to
the bar and sat on one of the stools. As she was
waiting for Fargo to show up, she decided to
ordered a glass of water from the bartender.
When investigating someone or something Sylia
had always considered herself a very thorough
and resourceful woman. She had already used
her super-computer and her connections to find
out a lot of useful data about Mr. Goodsbe, but
for some reason she could not find any useful
data on Jake Goodsbe after the summer of 2022.
So, she had contacted her informant, Fargo, to
see if any his connections could turn up anymore
interesting facts about Mr. Goodsbe.
Sylia just finished her glass of water,
when Fargo walked up to her and sat at a stool
right beside her. The stool he was sitting on was
to her left. Fargo ordered his usual martini from
the bartender.
Fargo took a sip from his glass of
martini. He then said to Sylia. "I am sorry we
have to meet like this, Sylia."
Sylia said to Fargo. "Same as ever, eh,
Fargo. I see that you have finally at least gotten a
slightly better suit to wear, for once. So, Fargo.
Have you found the information that I have
requested from you?"
Fargo answered Sylia by saying. "Yes,
Sylia I have. The first thing I found that should
interest you about our friend Mr. Goodsbe was
that in the U.S. he has a Nine Class Firearms
License. If our Mr. Goodsbe decided to returned
to the U.S. he could buy, sell and own almost
any type of mech he would want. Also, I got in
touch with some people who used to know Mr.
Goodsbe when he lived in LA. And from what
they tell me he is the type of person who is likely
not to draw first blood. But, he will draw last. In
other words, he won't quit until he has what he
wants. They also tell me that he prefers to be
subtle when he is after something." Fargo then
tried to put his right arm around Sylia's shoulder.
Sylia noticed this and she grabbed his hand in a
very painful grip.
After a moment, Sylia released her grip
on Fargo's right hand. She then said to him.
"Please, continue."
As Fargo rubbed his right hand, he said.
"Now on to the juicy parts. What is not
commonly known is that during early 20's he
made a fortune on the stock market. He is rich
Sylia and I mean rich. He also seems to have
some sort connection to Genom. But, I have yet
to ascertain what that connection is exactly."
Sylia said, "Good work Fargo. You have
dug up some very interesting information. I'll
contact you, if I need anything else from you."
Sylia then got up and walked outside. The door
shutting behind her.

Place: Sun Tower Hotel: Twenty-First Floor
Room 206
Time: Sunday: Night: 10:00 P.M.
Jake laid down on the futon in his hotel
room. Thinking about what he was to do next.
His Associates at the moment were not happy
about the fact that Genom was not ready to be
expanded beyond this reality. And that not good.
But his Associates have already waited for over a
decade for Genom to be ready. They were
patient. They could wait a few more years.
Jake was thinking about what he was
going to do in MegaTokyo, now that his
business with Genom was concluded. The only
important thing he now had to do was get his
passport from AD Police. And they just wanted
to ask Jake a few questions. That little problem
would probably take all of two hours to solve.
ADP could not really charge him with anything
serious that would hold up in a court of law. It
was self-defense pure and simple. Once that
problem was out of the way. He planned to take
a few days off and see some of the sites that
MegaTokyo had to offer. Yes. Unless his
mission changes. He would be leaving
MegaTokyo in less than a week.
*Ring.* *Ring.*
[I 'm listening.] Jake said in English into
the cell-phone he had. Right before he took a
swallow from his glass of water.
[Your mission has just changed. AD
Police will call you right after you hang up from
this call. They will ask you if you want to join
ADP. Your will be answer, yes.] The person on
the other end of the celphone said.
Jake spit out the water he had in his
mouth. [What!?! Me join AD Police!?! You�re
joking right!?!] Jake said.
[No. I am not joking.] The person
talking to Jake said.
[But they�re cannon fodder. I have seen
them fight. To call them pathetic would be
giving them credit they did not earn.] Jake said
sarcastically
[Yes Our Associates and I know this.
Your mission is now to join ADP and make
them the best they could ever be. You are to give
them back. Their dignity. Their pride. And their
honor.] Said the other person.
[But I thought that the only reason you
wanted me to come back here to MegaTokyo
was to speak to Quincy and see if Genom was
ready.] Jake said, while sounding a little
confused.
[Our Associates and I already knew
Genom was not ready. I and our Associates want
a little insurance to make sure Genom stays on
track. That is why you are going to stay in
MegaTokyo and join ADP. To make sure
Genom stay on track. You are our insurance.
Besides you have no choice in this matter. Don't
forget we have invested eight years on your
personally,] said the other person.
[Yes. But you made the two years
previous to that Hell on Earth for me.] Jake said
in a mocking tone of voice.
[I think I should not be held responsible
for the actions of Matthew Twilight.] Said the
other person.
[I don't really care what you think. And I
do not like MegaTokyo. It reminds me of LA in
the 20's. And frankly, That scares me.] Jake said.
[Being scared never stopped you before.
Besides I just know you liked being a Blade
Runner. This is the closes job I can think of. I
thought you liked being a cop and a killer? Don't
you?] Asked the other person.
Jake stayed silent.
Then the other person said. [Remember.
You have done a lot more. With a lot less than
AD Police has to offer.]
[Yes I have. But not by choice. Look, I
am sick and tried of being a pawn in this sick
little game you and your immortal friends have
going. I join ADP and complete this mission. If
you give me the option to leave Barrier's
organization after this mission is completed. I
know your position it the organization that we
belong to gives you that power. Those are my
terms. Do you agree to them?] Jake asked.
[Yes I agree to your. But remember, we
all have our crosses to bear and our debts to
pay,] said the other person.
[Yea. Like what for example?] Jake said
sarcastically.
[Try staying celibate for nearly twenty
years. And see how you like it,] replied the other
person.
[I just might try that some time. By the
way, how long will this mission will take? I do
have a live you know.] Jake asked.
[About two years,] said the other person.
[TWO YEARS!!!] Jake said.
[Is there a problem. Are you not up to the
task ahead?] Asked the other person.
Jake thought about it for a moment and
he then said. [Yes. I am up to the task. But
remember one thing.]
[And that is?] The other person asked.
[I will never become you. Bye.] Jake said
and then he hung up his cell-phone.
A few minutes later the hotel vidphon in
his room rang. Jake knew it was the AD Police.
And that they were going to ask him if he
wanted to join AD Police. He was going to have
to answer yes to that question. And he then smile
because of that.
'Oh boy. Another challenge awaits for me
to solve.' Jake thought to himself while smiling.

{Cardinal. Your lunch is ready.} The
Secretary told the Cardinal.
Cardinal put the cell-phone he was
holding, down on the table and he then said.
{Thank you James. You do your service, duty
and religion proud}
{Cardinal. My I ask a question.} James
asked.
{You may.} Said the Cardinal.
{Cardinal John Goodsbe. Who was it

James asked.
{Just some personal business. Nothing

now James.} Cardinal John Goodsbe said.
{Thank you.} James said. Then he

Cardinal John Goodsbe then thought to
himself. 'So, Jake Goodsbe. My twin brother.
You said you would never become me. AHH.
But you are becoming me. AHH. But you are.'

Place: AD Police HQ: Sixth Floor: AD Police
Chief's Office
Time: Monday: Morning: 8:30 A.M.
Leon stormed into the Chief's office
fuming and thinking that the Chief's latest idea
to cut costs was totally insane.
"Is there a problem?" The Chief asked
before Leon could say anything.
"Hell yes there is a problem. You must
have gone insane. Because you�re letting a man
like Goodsbe join AD Police." Leon said.
"No. Its just that with a man like
,Goodsbe, and his abilities. We can save fifteen
percent on next years annual budget." The Chief
said.
"The AD Police already tried this idea.
Does the name, Billy Fanword, ring a bell. My
chest is still sore whenever I think what
happened then. By the way, how did you get him
to join AD Police?" Leon asked.
"Simple. I offered to get all the charges
against him dropped. If he joined the ADP. And
he said yes." The Chief replied.
"And how are you going to control him?"
Leon asked.
"Easy. He's your new partner." The Chief
said smiling.
"What do you mean he is my new
partner!?! Daley's already my partner!" Leon
shouted at the Chief.
"I know that. But Jake is still going to be
your new partner. I guess Daley will have to find
a new partner also." The Chief said.
"Why?" Leon asked.
"Consider this punishment for taking the
K-17's out without permission." The Chief said,
while smiling an evil grin.
"Okay. Next question. Where is he?"
Leon asked
"Leaning on the window right behind
you." The Chief said.
Leon turned around to see his new
partner. "So, Leon you�re my new partner. How
about I buy you a cup of coffee and tell you why
I joined ADP?" Jake said smiling.
"Sure" Leon replied. Then they left the
Chief's office to get some coffee.
_______________________________________
Place: "Piss" Coffee House
Time: Monday: Morning: 9:00 A.M.
Jake and Leon sat down at one of the
tables by the windows. The waitress who was,
by the way, human came to take their order. Why
the Owner of the shop decided to hire a human
was because of what the last Coffee Boomer that
worked here did to him. The doctors say that his
sense of taste will return, eventually.
"Good morning. What would you like to
order today." The waitress asked.
Leon and Jake both ordered coffee and
then they begin talking.
"Leon, would you like to know the
reasons why the Chief hired me?" Jake asked
Leon.
"Yes. I do. Will you please explain."
Leon replied.
"The real reasons why the Chief hired me
is because of the fact that I can rip-apart boomers
with my bare hands. The Chief is planning to use
me as cannon fodder; So that he can make more
AD Police budget cuts." Jake said.
The then waitress walked up to the two
men and served them each a hot cup of coffee.
Jake took a sip from his cup of coffee.
"And you are okay with this?" Leon
asked. He then took a sip from his cup of coffee.
"Yes. Because as long as I know the
reasons why the Chief hired me, I will not
become canon fodder. Also, do you want to
know the reasons why I joined ADP in the first
place?" Jake asked Leon.
"Of course I do. Please continue." Leon
replied.
"Okay. There are three reasons why I
joined the AD Police. The first reason is because
I hate incompetence. The second is I would like
to know who sent those 55Cs' after me. And I
have good reason to believe it was not Genom.
The third reason why I joined is that AD Police
gave me this to use." Jake reached into his left
shoulder holster with his right hand and pulled
out his gun. Then laid it on the table. It was a 44
Magnum with an extended barrel. "What can I
say? I'm a Dirty Harry fan," Jake said.
"Nice weapon." Leon said looking at the
gun.
"I know." Jake said. Then he picked it up
and reholstered it.
The Waitress came back and served them
some more coffee.
"But, take a look at this." Leon said as he
pulled out his EarthShaker and handed it to Jake.
Jake looked at gun for a moment then
said. "Interesting. A .60-caliber Smith & Wesson
better known as an EarthShaker. Based on the
Motel 3 S&W of the late 19 hundreds. Fairly
rare to find this type of gun now a days and was
standard issue for LAPD Blade Runners." Then
Jake looked a the serial numbers on the bottom
handle of the gun. "Wait a minute now. This is
Duke's gun. Where did you get this Leon?" Jake
asked.
"I'll answer your question in minute. But
who was this Duke character? " Leon asked
Jake.
"His name was Duke 'Nukem'. But he
changed his name to Dieork when he decided to
live here in Tokyo. Now, he was my mentor and
partner when I first joined LAPD and became a
Blade Runner. Duke taught me everything he
knew. Most of what happened to Duke before I
met him is classified. But what little I did get of
his past was that he raised some serious hell in
the prime of his youth and that earned him the
name 'Nukem'. The reason why Duke became a
Blade Runner as a hobby because he was about
to go insane from being bored. " Then Jake held
up Leon's EarthShaker and said. "He gave this
gun to this police woman we both met during the
mid 20's." He took a sip from his cup of coffee
and continued. "She was also Bean Bandit's
daughter. Plus, her mother was a cop named,
Angel. He gave it to her as a gift. Because he felt
sorry for her losing her arm. Now what was her
name Ahh... Jane... Jan..."
"Jeena," Leon said.
"Yea. That's her name. Real spitfire she
was. How do you know her?" Jake asked.
"She used to be my partner." Leon said.
"Why am I not surprised." Jake said
sarcastically, while handing Leon back his gun.
Jake then asked. "Care to explain?"
"When I was first transferred to the AD
Police. I was just a rookie. She took me under
her wing and taught me everything she knew.
She saved my life this gun; While working on
my first case. Later she give me this gun as a
gift." Leon said as he holstered his gun.
"Well Jeena Malso was one hell of a
woman. What ever happen to her?" Jake asked.
"That is a story for another time. But
speaking of stories. I had a look at your police
record. Why did you quit the LAPD Blade
Runner Unit? " Leon asked.
Jake's face figuratively became a stone
mask, while saying. "I retired one to many
replicates.� He took a sip from his cup of coffee
and continued. �My last skin job that I retired
was the best of the best. And I regretted retiring
him. Please drop this subject Leon. I do not feel
like talking about it. Okay."
"Okay," Leon said.
Leon and Jake both decided to dropped
the subject.
After Leon took a sip from his cup of
coffee he decided to ask Jake. "Oh. By the way.
Where are you staying?"
Jake took a sip from his cup of coffee and
he then said. "I'll be staying at the Sun Tower
Hotel until I find an apartment."
Leon then asked. "Also, I have to ask you
a question about you age. According to your
records you should be in your mid to late thirties.
But you don't look a day over 28. Why is that?"
'That's because I am only 28 years old.
Time travel through interdimensional means.
What a wonderful concept.' Jake thought to
himself. Jake lied to Leon and answered.
"Cryogenic sleep."
"Oh. And to ask another question while
I'm at it. For an American. How can you speak
and understand Japanese so fluently?" Leon
asked.
"Six years worth of intense language
classes among other things. And if you are
wondering Leon. I am fluent in several other
languages as well." Jake said. Answering Leon
truefully. He then took another sip from his cup
of coffee.
"And finally. What rank did the Chief
appoint you, too?" Leon asked.
"My rank is Assistant Inspector; The
same rank as your previous partner Daley Wong.
As Chief Inspector, you are my direct superior
officer, Leon McNichol. Which I do not mind
really. Because that means that if you go loose
cannon on me. I don't have to take the heat for
your actions. But if I go loose cannon on you.
You have too take the heat for my actions. But
didn't worry. I don't become a loose cannon very
often." Jake said. Jake then started to wickedly
smile.
"Did the Chief assign a mobile unit to
you?" Leon asked Jake.
"Yes. The Chief gave me command of
the Second Detachment." Jake said.
Leon said. "Interesting, the Second
Detachment used to be under Commander
Dieork's command."
Jake then decided to ask Leon. "By the
way what Leon. What are your opinions about
Cyberdroids?"
Leon answered Jake by saying.
"Cyberdroids are like any other machine. They
can be a benefit to humanity. Or a hazard. If they
are a benefit. Then I do not have a problem."
Jake thought to himself. 'Okay, I can
understand that kind of philosophy.'
Leon took a drink from his cup of coffee.
He then decided to asked Jake. "Not taking into
account of what happened a couple of nights
ago. What is your honest opinion of the Knight
Sabers."
Jake answered Leon. "Look as a general
rule I don't like vigilantes. They are in my
opinion the living in body ment of the term loose
cannon. And as such, they should not be allowed
to run amok. In other words, I want to arrest the
Knight Sabers." Jake said.
Leon replied to Jake by saying. "But even
I will admit to the fact that the Knight Saber
have been a great assistance to MegaToyko and
even to AD Police from time to time."
Jake then said to Leon in a strong tone of
voice. "Look, I already know that. But the fact
remains that the AD Police can not rely upon
them forever. You must understand that the odds
are against them and that one day the Knight
Sabers are either going to get killed or retire.
And on that day AD Police must be ready to take
up the slack."
"And how are we going to do that? Do
you have any suggestions?" Leon asked
sarcastically.
"Well, as I see it. We have two options to
stop boomer rampages and crimes without the
help of vigilantes." Jake said as he looked
directly into Leon's eyes. "Option number one is
that we give every citizen in this city their own
personal RPG and/or bazooka. Or we could use
option number two which is that we up-grade the
department's equipment. And since option
number one is totally insane and completely
illegal even in America. So I guess we have to
go with option number two. Also, I personally
would give everyone in the department a K-11
Jager and leave it at that. But we have to
remember to start small and work up." Jake
finished saying.
Leon chuckled and said. "You do realize
the bureaucracy that would stop you, if you ever
tried to do that."
Jake answered that by saying. "Yes, I do
understand that But, also, you must understand
that where I come from in America that is called
bullshit politics, Leon. And I know how to work
around those kinds of politics."
Leon then decided to asked Jake. "By the
way, how are you planning to get all of this done
with the Chief around."
Jake took a drink from his cup of coffee.
He then answered Leon by saying. "Leon, don't
worry I can handle the Chief. The world is full of
cheap, spineless, brown-nosing, yes-men like our
Chief for example."
Jake then stared directly into Leon eyes
and said. "Look. Leon you must understand that
I am on your side. I will do everything in my
power to make the AD Police better. Also Leon.
You have to understand that Rome was not built
in a day. It is going to take some time to
up-grade the department's equipment. But you
making an ass out of yourself to your superiors is
not going to help matters. Leon, you have to
learn to work the system better."
By that time they finished their
conversation. They had both finished their cups
of coffee. And as they were getting up to leave.
Leon said to Jake. "Oh. There is one other thing
about being an ADP Investigator you need to
know. We sometimes pull 36 hour shifts. You
either get use to it or you suffer a psychotic
episode."
Jake answered Leon by saying. "Don't
worry Leon. I can handle it. If I have to."
Leon then said to Jake as they were
leaving cafe. "Oh yeah, Jake. When we get back
to headquarters. There is someone I would like
you to meet."

"Ahh. There she is now." Leon said while
walking up to Nene's desk with Jake following
right behind him.
Nene noticed Leon walking up to her.
Stood up and greeted him. "Hi Leon. What can I
do for you?" She asked.
"Nothing you can do for me right now. I
just want to introduce you to my new partner."
Leon said as he moved out of the way so Nene
could see Jake. When Nene saw Jake she nearly
fainted from shock and fear. Leon then said.
"Nene this is my new partner Jake Goodsbe.
Jake this is Nene Romanova AD Police's
resident hacker."
"Nice to meet you." Jake said nicely.
"Hello. So you're Leon's new partner?"
Nene asked weakly. This was the man who she
fought a few nights ago. The man who shattered
her hardsuit faceplate. The man who saw her
face. The man who may figure out that she is
really a Knight Saber.
"Yes I am. By the way have we met
before?" Jake asked innocently.
"I don't know what you are talking
about." Nene denied. 'OH GOD!!! HE KNEW!!!'
She thought to herself.
"Yes. Now I remember you." Jake said.
'OH GOD!!! HERE IT COMES!!!' Nene
thought to herself.
"Yea. You're the one that gave me
directions to 'Hot Legs'. I wanted to personally
thank you for giving me directions. Without your
help I would never have found that place. So.
Thank you." Jake said smiling.
"You're welcome." Nene said signing in
relief and while returning the smile.
"What happened to your face." Jake
asked, as he pointed with his right index finger
at the bandied on Nene's face.
"Scooter accident," Nene answered
bluntly.
"Oh." Jake replied. Jake then turned to
Leon and said. "Leon would you care to show me
around this place."
"Sure." Leon replied. And they both left
Nene to do her work.

Place: ADP HQ: Sixth Floor: Near The Elevator
Time: Monday: Morning: 11:30 A.M.
After Leon finished showing Jake around
AD Police Headquarters. He told Jake that he
had some business to attend to and that he would
meet him later. Jake then decided to head for the
cafeteria to get some lunch. When he reached the
elevator, a red-haired man walked-up to him.
The red-haired man asked Jake. "Are you Jake
Goodsbe?"
Jake replied. "Yes, I am. And who are
you?"
The red-haired man answered, "My name
is Daley Wong. Leon's new ex-partner. And I
need to speak to you about Leon."
Jake said. "Well Mr. Wong, I would be
more than happy to hear what you have to say.
I'm heading to the cafeteria right now to eat
some lunch. If you want to join me. That's fine
with me."
Daley said. "All right. And my name is
Daley, not Mr. Wong."

Place: ADP HQ: Twentieth Floor: Employee
Cafeteria
Time: Monday: Noon: 12:00 P.M.
Jake and Daley got their lunches from the
cafeteria line. They sat across from one another
at a table that was located at about the center of
the cafeteria room.
After they finished their lunches, Daley
asked Jake. "Just what do you already know
about Leon?"
Jake answered Daley by saying. "Well
from what I understand. All Leon really wants is
to is do his job the best he can, without
interference from upstairs and to get a chance to
date some girl named Priss. And he would be
happy with that."
Then Daley said to Jake. "Okay. But,
there is something else you need the know about
Leon."
"And that is?" Jake asked.
"That even though Leon is the pride of
the ADP. He is a loose cannon and will face a
superior enemy in personal combat with full
knowledge that he'll lose. Some people think that
Leon has a subconscious death wish. Sometimes,
I think that he is a matyr in training." Daley said.
"Thanks. I'll keep that in mind." Jake
said. Then they both got up from the table that
they were sitting at. And they left the cafeteria.
_______________________________________
Place: ADP HQ: Sixth Floor: Chief's Office
Time: Tuesday: Morning: 9:30 A.M.
For an hour and a half, Jake had been
talking to the AD Police Chief, inside the Chief's
office; On how to improve the AD Police's image
and maintain the current budget at the same
time.
"Officer Goodsbe, could you give me an
example as to how the AD Police should change
its image?" The Chief asked Jake.
"Look, take for example this picture right
here." With his left hand, Jake gestured to a
picture that was hanging on a wall to his left. It
showed a squad of ADP Front-line Officers
wearing their helmets and gasmasks in full
combat gear. "Now when I look at this picture
the words 'Imperial Stormtrooper' comes to
mind. Now we have got to change the publics'
mind from thinking of us as jackbooted thugs
and show them that all we are is public servants
here to protect them. Or we are never going to
get the funding to do our jobs, properly." Jake
said as he stated a few examples.
The Chief said. "Officer Goodsbe, you
have raised some interesting points in your
examples. Now on to another subject. I am
deeply concerned about some of the equipment
you have been requesting. Especially the artillery
and battlemovers. Would you care to explain
yourself?"
Jake smiled and answered the Chief by
saying. "Well, all I am asking to take out of the
heavy equipment is the artillery and the Kumo
Battlemovers. I'm not asking for K-suits yet.
That is all I need, for now. The costs are not that
high. If you take look at this budget report I have
typed and prepared for you. You will see that the
budget report is very cost-efficient." He then
passed the folder that he had been holding in his
right hand to the Chief. Next, Jake telepathically
suggested to the Chief. 'Approve it.'
The Chief looked over the papers in the
folder and he said. "Yes, everything looks in
order. I approve it." He then added. "You can
now leave."
Jake then turned around and started
walking towards the door to the Chief's office.
When he reached the door, he noticed his
reflection in the window of the door that his nose
had started to bleed. He pulled out his
handkerchief from his pants pocket and he used
it to wipe the blood off his upper lip. He opened
the door himself. And as he walked thorough it,
he thought to himself. 'Damn. Why do my
powers always have to injure me, whenever I use
them?"

Place: Tinsel City: Third District: On a Highway
Time: Thursday: Morning: 10:00 A.M.
J. B. Gibson did not know much of what
was going on right now in the outside world. All
that he knew was going on today, was that he
was being transferred today from prison to some
where else. He thought to himself. 'Ahh. What
had it been? Oh yes. Almost two years now since
he was arrested after his little chase.'
Although he was glad about two things.
First was that although they arrested Naomi.
They did not charge her with anything. So she
was a free woman at the moment. Second was
that although he was in jail. During his trial he
was able to get his charges pleaded down to just
reckless driving. So, he would be out in about six
months from now.
At the moment he was traveling in the
back of a truck in handcuffs being taken to
wherever the cops wanted him to go.
Unfortunately the windows in the back of the
truck were tinted so he could not see where they
were going. Then the truck stopped. They
officers in the front got out and opened the back
door so he could get out the back of the trunk.
When he stepped out, he saw that he was in a
large, wide and very dark room.
"Hello. You must be Mr. Gibson. The
guy who decided to play Mad Max on the streets
of MegaTokyo. My name is Jake Goodsbe of AD
Police and I am here to make you an offer you
can't refuse," Jake said.
"And what is this deal?" Gibson asked.
"The deal is that you will work on a
project of mine and in return you will become a
free man. All you have to do is sign this and you
will be with Naomi in under a month." Jake said
as he pulled out a piece of paper.
Gibson though about it for a moment
then said. "I agree."
After Gibson signed the paper, he asked
Jake. "Okay. What is this project you want me to
work on."
Jake clapped his hands and the lights
came on to show that they were in the ADP
garage. With his right hand, Jake gestured to the
vehicles in the garage. He then said to Gibson.
"Make them faster."

Classrooms
Time: Friday: Morning: 9:00 A.M.
"Greetings Gentlemen. First let me make
it clear that you now belong to the 2nd
Detachment. And I understand that all of you
have volunteered for this course. When you
finish this course you will all get a raise in your
salary and be given a rank higher than your
fellow grunt Officers, but lower than a Corporal.
The course will consist of both physical and
mental learning. This course will take about six
weeks to complete." Jake said. Then he noticed
that most of them were not paying attention.
"People!! I do not think you understand the
seriousness of the situation that the ADP is
facing." Jake said. 'That did not get their
attention. Hmmm.' He thought to himself. Then
he got an idea. "You, you, you, you and you
standup." Jake said as pointed at five of the
people sitting. The five people stood-up. "Okay.
Given current ADP front-line fatality statistics
everyone still sitting will be dead by the end of
next year." That got their attention. "But it does
not have to be that way. I can teach you how to
fight boomers with what we have. Without
mechs And I am not talking about Mannequin
boomers. I am talking about fully armed Battle
class boomers." The people listening were all
ears now. The people who were still standing
were about to sit down. "Did I give you
permission to sit down yet." The people standing
stood straight up. Jake smiled and said. "You
may sit down now." And they did. Jake then
said. "People I don't care about what you do on
your off hours. But from 9 to 5 your ass is mine.
Now, the booklets I am passing out to you I want
you to read and learn from cover to cover. I know
that the booklets are in English so if you do not
know English. Learn it. Then read the booklet.
I'll be back here in an hour. I think that will give
you guys some time to look over those booklets."
Leon then pick up one of the booklets
and looked at it. The cover said in English.
'Jane's Guide To Modern Military Cyberdroids
And Mecha.'

"Okay, gentlemen. For everyone who has
been in the military you can consider what I am
about to teach you as a refresher course. For the
rest of you what I am going to teach you is how
to kill. As police you were taught how to protect
and serve. Now you will learn how to kill.
Starting now." Jake said, as a miltivid that was
in the wall behind Jake was turn on. It showed
the design schematics for a 55C Boomer.
"Gentlemen. The weakest points on this boomer
are it's optical sensors." Jake saw that most of
the men gave him confused looks. Jake said. "It's
eyes. You idiots. Gentlemen. You are going to
have to understand, that I am going to push you
to your limits. And when you reach those limits.
I am then going to force you to dig deep down
inside yourself and go beyond them. Do I make
my self clear."
His men shouted. "Yes Sir!!!"
Jake then said to his men. "Okay, your
first rule is no watching D. J. Tommy. Watching
that Max Headroom wannabe trash is not worth
it. You can do something better with your time
than watch that. Got that?"
His men shouted. "Yes Sir!!!"

The alarm was blaring in ADP HQ. The

The men were about to get in the trucks when
they all heard a *click*.
"Gentlemen. That false alarm was meant
to see how long it took you to get ready. It took
you 15 minutes. to get ready. That is to LONG!! I
WANT YOU TO BE READY IN UNDER ONE
MINUTE!!!" Jake said as he held up his right
index finger.

Place: Survival Shot
Time: Tuesday: Morning: 9:00 A.M.
A squad of combat ready AD Policemen
walked side-by-side each other in a straight row
on the grassy field that was about 50 feet from an
abandoned building that was in front of them.
They were each carrying a M42-A1 machinegun.
As they approached the red brick wall that
encircled the two story abandon building. They
passed a large tree. Then they heard a rustle from
a bush that was near the red brick wall. Instantly
they all fired their machineguns at the bush.
As the ADP squad fired at the innocence
bush. Jake walked out from the tree he was
hiding behind. As he did this, he also stopped
tugging at the wire he had tied to the bush. He
then silently walked up behind the ADP squad
and shot his paint-ball machine-gun at them. At
point-blank range, he hit all of them with
paint-balls from behind.
Jake then said them. "This Firing Line
tactic is not going to work when you are fighting
a C or B class boomer. Use common sense.
Spread out and keep your ass down. Also, you
guys need to brush-up on your coordination."

Naoko walked by Jake and Leon. She
over heard Jake asking Leon about trying to find
an aerobics instructor. She decided to butt in and
tell them. "Well, I know that Nene does have this
friend that use to work as an aerobics instructor
at Phoebe's. And is now in-between jobs."
Jake turned and looked down to face
Naoko. And he asked her in a very sly tone of
voice. "Oh really. And who is this person?"
"Her name is Linna Yamazaki." Naoko
replied.
_______________________________________
Place: At a Parking Lot Near The Fitness Bee
'Phoebe's'
Time: Tuesday: Afternoon: 2:00 P.M.
Linna exited the Fitness Bee and started
walking towards the elevated parking lot where
she had parked her mini-van. Although, Linna
no longer worked at Phoebe's, she still did
exercise there, regularly.
When Linna reached her car. A man
walked up to her. He asked her politely. "Hello.
Are you Linna Yamazaki?"
"Yes I am. But who wants to know?"
Linna asked.
"Hello Ms. Yamazaki. I am Jake
Goodsbe of the AD Police. And I need to discuss
something with you." Jake replied.
Linna said. "I am sorry. But, you will
have to excuse me Officer. I am in a hurry. So,
could you please move out of the way of my
mini-van."
Jake did so without saying a word. Linna
then got into her mini-van and turned the key to
startup the engine. The mini-van would not start.
After trying for five minutes she gave-up. Then,
she noticed that someone was tapping on her
drivers side front window. It was Jake. Linna
rolled down her window and said in a frustrated
tone of voice. "What do you want?"
Jake said to Linna, "I can help you start
your mini-van. But, first you will have to hear
what I have to say to you."
"Okay. What do you want to talk to me
about?" Linna said to Jake.
Jake said. "Well, I am looking for a
temporary aerobics instructor. I heard on the
grapevine that you used to be an aerobics
instructor. And that you are also in-between jobs
right now."
Linna asked Jake. "And what are you
offering if I take job? That is to say if I take this
job your offering."
Jake said. "The deal is this. The job will
last from one to two month. That depends on
how long it takes me to find some permanent
replacements. The AD Police will pay you the
same amount of money as your job at 'Phoebe's'
paid you. Also, the AD Police will fix any
problem that your mini-van has for one year, for
free. That is, if you take the job."
Linna thought about the offer for a few
minutes. And then she said to Jake. "It's a deal.
When do I have to show-up at the AD Police
Department?"
Jake said to Linna, "I would like you to
be there tomorrow morning. If that is okay with
you?"
Linna said. "That is fine with me. Now,
can you help me start my mini-van?"
Jake said. "Sure. Could you please pop
the hood of your mini-van for me." Linna popped
to hood of her mini-van for Jake. Jake walked
over to the engine and began work on the
mini-van for a few minutes.
Jake closed the hood to the engine and he
then said to Linna. "Try it now, Ms. Yamazaki."
Linna turned the key and the engine
started. As she backed her mini-van out of it's
parking place. She said to Jake. (Who was
standing three feet from the driver's side front
window.) "Thank you for fixing my mini-van.
And I will see you tomorrow."
Jake said to Linna, "No problem. And I
hope you have a nice day." As Linna drove out of
the parking lot, Jake thought to himself. 'It was
easy enough to fix your mini-van, Linna
Yamazaki; considering all I had to do was plug
in the spark plugs that I unplugged early today.'
He then turned around and started walking
towards where he had park his motorcycle.

After Jake over heard his men grumbling
about doing aerobics. He said to them, "Okay,
guys you got to understand, in my opinion you
are all in poor to fair shape. But I need you to be
in good shape. It is either this or ballet. And I
just can't imagine any of you guys wearing a
tutu."

Place: On a Highway Heading For USSD
Time: A Month Later: Monday: Afternoon: 2:00
P.M.
"Hey, Leon. Would like me to tell the
history of the K-suits since we have nothing
better to do?" Jake said as he driving an ADP
Troop Transport. He was driving the first truck
in a four truck convoy. All of which were towing
50MM 'Bernie' (howitzer) Recoilless cannons
hooked up on the back of each of the trucks.
"Sure." Leon replied.
Jake said. "Well the first man-amplifying
exoskeleton ever built was developed by a U.S.
company called General Electric with the U.S.
Army and Navy in the 1960's. The hydraulically
powered Hardyman made lifting 250 pounds feel
like lifting 10; all the better for loading heavy
bombs on airplanes. The mechanical arms and
legs, which made the operator look like a
Transformer, were clumsy and dangerous, so the
idea never took off. However, the Hardyman
concept was resurrected in the 1980's at the Los
Alamos National Laboratory , it was called the
Pitman project. Researcher by the name of
Jeffrey Moore wrote a concept paper on the
Pitman, a powered exoskeletal suit. It was for
infantrymen in combat. Unfortunately the U.S.
Army did not receive funding to continue the
Pitman project but the idea grabbed the attention
of the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency, which assigned the U.S. Army
Research Laboratory to study similar exoskeletal
systems." Jake then looked at Leon. "Hey, Leon
you awake?" Jake asked.
"zzzz...." Was all Jake got back.
"Hey, Leon!! Wake up!!" Jake shouted.
"Hmmm. What?" Leon asked.
"Good." Jake said smiling. Then he
returned to looking at the road in front of him
and continued talking. "Then a company here in
Tokyo got a hold of some of Mr. Moore's notes
and with the help of the U.S. Military developed
the MADOX-1 Slave Trooper from which the
K-suit projects came from." Jake finished. Then
he saw sign beside the road which said 10km to
the USSD National HQ. Jake thought back to
what he knew about the Military base. USSD
HQ was located inside the Yokota U.S. Military
Base. The main U.S. military installation in
Japan and Eastern Asia.
_______________________________________
Place: USSD: Main Gate
Time: Monday: Afternoon: 2:10 P.M.
"Huh? What the?" The Security Guard
said to himself as he saw four trucks, drive-up to
the USSD main gate. Each of them was towing
50mm cannon. He was about to go for his gun
when the driver of the first truck got out and
walked over to him while holding a security pass
in his hand.
"Hello. We have a security pass and
permission to use the firing range today." Jake
said as he handed the pass to the Security Guard.
"It will take a moment for me to verify
this." The Security Guard said while holding up
the security pass.
"Take all the time you need," Jake said.
The Guard spend some time on the
vidphon talking to his superior. When he
finished talking he came back and handed Jake
the pass. Then the Guard said. "Everything
checks out. You may proceed." Then the Guard
gave Jake the directions to the firing range.
"Thank you." Jake said. Then he walked
back to the front truck. Got in and drove through
the main gate after it opened.
When Jake passed though the main gate
he watched a pair of two Type-07 Airdroppable
Autotanks patrol the perimeter right behind the
main wall. He then saw a couple of K-12Bs' and
Standard GD-42 walk by. Next, he saw a M262
Main Battle Tank being attended to by BU-12B
Reconnaissance Boomer and two JSDF Infantry
Officials.
That was followed by a squad of Strike
Hornets; That were flying overhead. After that,
he drove for ten more minutes and finally reach
the entrance to the artillery park; A firing range
for heavy weapons. He then drove the truck onto
the artillery park.
_______________________________________
Place: USSD: Artillery Park
Time: Monday: Afternoon: 2:15 P.M.
Jake parked his truck. The next truck
pulled up right beside Jake's truck and the other
two trucks did the same by parking right beside
each other in a row.
As Jake got out of his side of the truck.
He asked Leon, "Leon how about you handle the
squad that is using the semi-automatic homing
rocket launchers. And I will handle the squad
that is using the howitzers. Is that okay?"
"Yes. That is okay; If you want to." Leon
replied as he got out of his side of the truck.
_______________________________________
Place: USSD: Artillery Park
Time: Monday: Afternoon: 2:45 P.M.
"FIRE!" Jake ordered.
*BOOM!* Came the sound from all four
howitzers.
"EMPTY!" Jake ordered.
"RELOAD!" Jake ordered.
"AIM!" Jake ordered as he watched. He
then looked at the stopwatch he had in his hand
timing how fast it took his men to fire the
'Bernies'. He had to get the time in which it took
his men to use and reload the 'Bernies' to under
15 seconds. He then looked up and ordered.
"FIRE!" *BOOM!*
_______________________________________
Place: USSD: Artillery Park
Time: Monday: Evening: 6:30 P.M.
Jake saw that Leon's squad had finished.
And Jake said to his squad. "Okay guys,
hook-up the howitzers to the back of the trucks.
Also, clean-up our gear. And lets call it a call it a
night."
_______________________________________
Place: ADP HQ: Fifth Floor: One Of The
Briefing Rooms
Time: Tuesday: Morning: 8:30 A.M.
"Okay, guys this is your final test. I want
you to all stay in this room for until I come back.
Do not. And I repeat. Do not eat the sweets. And
drink the sodas." He gestured to the table on the
right side of the room. Everyone could see that it
had on it an assortment of cakes, candies,
cookies, brownies, donuts and sodas. "And that
is an order. But you can have the white and the
water if you are hungry or thirsty." He then
gestured to a table on the left side of the room.
Which had some bowels of white rice and some
cups of water. "I will be back here, later." Jake
then turned and left closing the door behind him.
_______________________________________
Place: ADP HQ: Fifth Floor: In The Briefing
Room
Time: Tuesday: Afternoon: 4:30 P.M.
Jake walked back into the room and
asked the people to leave. When everyone left
Leon walk in and noticed that Jake was staring
at the right table. Leon walked up to the table
and was about pick up one of the cake to eat
when Jake said. "You don't want to do that."
"Why?" Leon asked.
"Because, I laced the sweets and sodas
with laxative. I am very glad that my men did
not eat or drink any of this. Because if they did
then two to three hours after that they would
have, as they say in the Army, a case of the trots
that they would never ever going to forget." Jake
said, while smiling.
"Thanks for warning me." Leon said.
"Come on. Our shift is over. I�ll buy you
something to drink at 'Hot Legs'." Jake said.
"What about the snacks? Someone might
get to them." Leon said.
"Don't worry. I'll lock the door." Jake
said. Too bad that both Leon and Jake did not
know that the door-lock to the briefing room was
broken.

Naoko walked up to Nene's desk. She
then asked Nene. "Hey. Nene. Someone found
that one of the briefing rooms down on the fifth
floor is full of sweets and sodas for everyone.
Want to come with me to eat some of the food
there?"
"Sure." Nene answered. Besides her shift
at work was over for tonight anyway. Although
she had a meeting with Sylia. That could wait
because the meeting was at 10:00 PM and it was
only 9:00 o'clock. So, she had time to do both.

Later reports would say what happened
was that while two BU-12B Infantry Types
boomers were being transferred secretly in a
cargo truck from GPCC to USSD HQ. The two
BU-12Bs went berserk when they entered Tinsel
City and killed the driver. Then the two boomers
started heading in two different directions. One
headed north. The other headed west.

A N-Police Pilot of Patrol Chopper 10
spotted the rampaging boomers and reported in.
"This is Patrol Copper 10. Report to the AD
Police that I have just spotted two rampaging
medium mobile armored combat machines. I
suspect that they are BU-12B types. Might be
Infantry types. Their location is five kilometers
North of Timex City on the Central Coastal
Highway. Both appear to be heading North
towards Tinsel City. Wait a minute. They have
just split-up. One is now heading Northeast
towards District Three, Tinsel City. And the
other is now heading Northwest towards District
Four, Tinsel City."
_______________________________________
Place: Lady's 633: Penthouse Level
Time: Tuesday: Night: 10:26 P.M.
Sylia put down her radio headphones.
Her computer had alerted her and she had heard
the entire conversation between the N-Police
Pilot and his dispatch. Since the boomers had
split-up. The boomer was heading towards the
direction of Lady's 633 would be the one that she
and Knight Sabers would take care of first.

Time: Tuesday: Night: 10:30 P.M.
*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP**BEEP*
Jake was sitting at a table on the
upper-level terrace eating an ice-cream sundae.
When he noticed that the pager on his
wristwatch was beeping. He went to the vidphon
and dialed the number the pager showed. He saw
on the vid-screen that it was Daley. "Hello
Daley. What can I do for you?" Jake asked.
"Is Leon there?" Daley asked.
"No. He went home about 45 minutes
ago. After Priss finished her singing. Boy does
Leon got a crush on her." Jake said.
"Tell me about it." Daley said
sarcastically.
"Also, Leon said he turned off his pager
so he could get some sleep. Though, I don't
blame him considering we both just finished a
24 hour shift." Jake said.
Daley thought about that for a moment.
Then his face went grim. "That does not matter.
We have a problem. Two BU-12B Infantry
Types went berserk. Do you think we should use
the K-suit." Daley asked.
"Look. Until we get permission from the
Diet to create a Mecha Unit we should not use
the K-suits. The only reason Leon did not get
fired for using the K-17 is because most of the
ADP officers said they would quit or strike. If
they did fire Leon. But we can use the Fire-bees.
But only for recon. We don't want ADP
front-line officers to die needless deaths. Now do
we?" Jake said.
"Okay. I get your point. So how long do
you think it will take for you to get to ADP HQ?"
Daley asked.
"Give me 5 minutes." Jake said. Then he
got his jacket & helmet and headed out the door.
_______________________________________
Place: ADP HQ: Third Floor: In a Stand-by &
Preparation Room
Time: Tuesday: Night: 10:35 P.M.
Jake walked into the room. He was
greeted by the sight of his squad in full combat
gear. After putting on his combat gear. Jake said
to his men. "Okay, Gentlemen. We are going to
pick a fight with a boomer. Listen-up people.
Here's the plan. For the first part. I am going to
need two brave volunteers."
_______________________________________
Place: Ring Line at Point M
Time: Tuesday: Night: 10:50 P.M.
A six-wheeled station-wagon shaped car,
with a gun turret on the back-top of the car. The
station-wagon drove within twenty meters of the
BU12-B. Then the driver of AD Police Runabout
did a one-eighty and as the car did that the man
in the turret fired the gun at the BU12-B; To
goad it into following them. It worked.
The driver of the car radioed Jake
"Commander Goodsbe, your plan has worked.
The combat boomer is now following us. We are
now leading it into the trap. I estimate we will
reach you in about ten minutes."
Jake replied. "Good work. Also, the trap
is set. So, we will be waiting for you to get here."
_______________________________________
Place: Tinsel City: On a Street That is Parallel to
The Fitness Bee 'Phoebe's'
Time: Tuesday: Night: 11:00 P.M.
Jake said to his squad. "Remember
gentlemen. Don't fire until you see the red of it's
eyes."
Right at that moment. The AD Police
Runabout turned a sharp corner and then the
runabout zoomed by the AD Police barricade
that was hiding behind the Fitness Bee. The
moment the boomer turned that corner it would
instantly be fired upon. And the boomer would
be destroyed before it knew what happened.
As the BU12-B Infantry Type boomer
came with in sight of the eight semi-automatic
homing rocket launchers and the four 'Bernies'
sights. Jake gave the order to. "FIRE!!" The
Bernies and rocket launchers fired. Several loud
booms followed. And BU-12B was destroyed.
As Jake inspected the remains that were
once the BU12-B. He said to his squad. "To
quote the words of my Father's generation in
situations like these back in America. IT'S
MILLER TIME!!"
_______________________________________
Place: On Top Of a Building Half a Block East
Of Lady's 633
Time: Tuesday: Night: 11:05 P.M.
The Knight Sabers were grouped together
on top of a building that was half a block east of
Lady's 633.
Sylia Stingray was less than happy. At
the exact moment the boomer spotted Knight
Sabers. It decided to do a U-turn and ran
(hovered). For over half an hour the boomer had
managed to evade the Knight Sabers by using its
smoke launchers. Sylia thought to herself. 'It
must have been programmed to recognize us.
And then evade us at all costs. So, someone
finally got the great idea to up-grade this
Boomer's self-preservation protocols.'
Nene said to Sylia over her radio. "Sylia.
My sensors have found the Boomer. It is about
half a kilometer west of here."
Sylia said. "Priss. Linna. Nene has found
the boomer. Let's go."
Priss and Linna replied in unison.
"Okay."
_______________________________________
Place: Point K, Route 246
Time: Tuesday: Night: 11:15 P.M.
The Knight Sabers had finally been able
to corner the BU-12B Infantry Type. Because the
Boomer had no place to run it fired it's four
rockets at the Knight Sabers.
The Knight Sabers easily dodged the
rockets.
With it's weapons out of ammo and since
it was cornered. The Boomer had no choice but
to attempt to fight the Knight Sabers in
hand-to-hand combat. Moments later, Linna
destroyed the BU-12B by cutting it to pieces
with her ribbon cutters.
Nene then suddenly held her stomach
while in her hardsuit. She then said. "Sylia, I
have to go to the restroom."
�Nene!! You should have thought of that
before we left!!� Priss remarked.
"Nene are you sure you can not wait until
we get back to base." Sylia asked Nene.
"Positive." Nene replied.
"Okay." Sylia said to Nene. Sylia then
turned and said to Priss and Linna. "Priss. Linna.
Help me find Nene a restroom." Sylia then
looked back at Nene and she added. "And I think
we better hurry."
_______________________________________
Place: The Nearest Restroom The Knight Sabers
Could Find In The Nearest Building
Time: Tuesday: Night: 11:30 P.M.
"This is so embarrassing." Priss said to
Linna as they stood guard in front of the door
that led in to the ladies restroom. Both of them
were waiting for Nene to get finished in there.
Linna just simply nodded at the reply.
At that moment Nene came out of the
ladies restroom wearing her softsuit inside her
hardsuit. She was also wearing her helmet.
"Are you finished?" Linna asked.
Nene said. "Yes. I think so." But before
she could take another step. she clenched at her
stomach and run back into the restroom.
"I think not." Priss remarked.
The Knight Sabers had to repeat this
process again on every other building. Again.
And Again. And Again. And Again. Until they
got to Lady's 633.

Place: ADP HQ: Fifth Floor
Time: Wednesday: Early Morning: 5:00 A.M.
"Where is everyone?" Jake asked Leon,
as they both exited onto the fifth floor from one
of the elevators.
"I don't know but I think we may have a
problem." Leon said as he pointed at a certain
door that was opened. They then ran into the
office room to see that someone ate all the food
that was on the right table.
"I don't get it. That was enough food here
to feed the entire AD Police Precinct." Jake said.
Immediately, Leon and Jake looked at
each other and shouted. "OH!! NO!!"
_______________________________________
Place: Lady's 633: Penthouse Level
Time: Wednesday: Morning: 7:30 A.M.
Sylia took a sip from her cup of coffee.
And then she giggled as she read the
MegaTokyo Times morning newspaper. The
front headline read. "AD Police Gets Regular."

Place: ADP HQ: Twenty-first Floor: Employee
Cafeteria
Time: Wednesday: Morning: 8:00 A.M.
Jake was sitting at table, eating his
breakfast. When Leon walked up to him and
asked him. "Jake. Did you hear that Daley got a
new partner?"
Jake finished chewing his food and then
replied back. "No. What is this Officer's name?"
Leon answered. "Her name is Milly
Jackson." Leon decided to sit at a seat across the
table from Jake. He then decided to asked Jake.
"The guys in my Detachment and your
Detachment have asked me to ask you. Also, I
was wondering this myself. And what are these
new Mobile Units called?"
Jake said while smiling. "Tokyo Blade
Runner Units. Of course."

Epilogue:
Place: Tinsel City: Empty Parking Lot:
Time: Thursday: Midnight: 12:02 A.M.
Mr. Hiro was walking towards his car,
which was parked in a deserted parking lot
planing to head home. After he got into his car
and started it�s motor running. The headlights on
his car automatically turned on and he saw a
large black shape hulking towards his car less
than three meters from his car. Then two meters.
Then one meter. Then it picked up the front-end
of his car with him inside of it and then threw it
across the parking lot. Mr. Hiro screamed as he
and his car sailed though the air. The car landed
upside down, but Mr. Hiro was left unhurt. He
got out of his car and was able to see what had
thrown his car. One of the parking light lamps
showed not one, but four K-12 A. T.s. All
painted in black. Also their black visors were
pulled down; So he could not see their faces. The
K-12 A. T. nearest to Mr. Hiro walked over to
face him.
"Please don't kill me." Mr. Hiro begged.
The person inside the K-12 A. T. pointed
his suit's right-hand at Mr. Hiro And fired the
12.7 MM Magnum located on his suit's right
wrist, thus killing Mr. Hiro.
_______________________________________
End of Chapter One
Author's Notes:
After typing 25,575 words throughout
this fanfic. And working for the past two and a
half years on this fanfic. I have finally finished
BubbleGum Blade: Book Two: Chapter One.
Don't worry. I will work on BubbleGum Blade:
Book One someday. But, for now I am going to
word on BubbleGum Blade: Book Two. Book
One is about Blade Runner. Book Two is about
BubbleGum Crisis. Your find out about most of
what happens in Book One by reading Book
Two. I am planing for Book Two to be around
twenty-one chapters. Now, please keep in mind
that this is my first fanfic. And I know that this
may not be as good as some other fanfics out
there. As long as it is better than a standard
Oscar fanfic. I will be happy. Also, I think I am
the first person to write a fanfic that begins with
a funeral and ends with a bang.
The quote one of my pre-readers about
BubbleGum Blade: "OOOOOO!!!!! Neat. Neat
neat neat. The crossover so obvious nobody ever
thought to do it. I like. I like a lot."
I will now personally thank my
pre-readers for the help that they have given me.
Thank you.
For example: Quincy being the next
incarnation of Dr. Eldon Tyrell is so obvious!!
And so very possible!!
Here are some places I used in my fanfic
that I would like to point out. So you are not
confused. The BGC RPG called the hospital that
was showed in BubbleGum Crisis 4: Road
Revenge as being MegaTokyo General Hospital.
But Angel Central Hospital was what the letters
at the top of the hospital building spelled out.
Also, Cest Lavie (Pool-Bar) is the place where
Sylia talked to Fargo in BGC 5 Moonlight
Rambler.
I should point out now that Jake Goodsbe
is NOT an SI for the following reasons:
1. Jake does not know who the Knight
Sabers are.
2. Jake does not like the Knight Sabers.
3. Jake want to arrest the Knight Sabers.
4. Jake once worked for Quincy and
Genom.
5. Jake is the closest thing to Quincy
having a friend.
6. Jake now works for AD Police.
No self-respecting SI would do any of the
things that I listed, above. Jake is Leon
McNichol's new partner. What can I say; Leon
McNichol is my favorite BGC character. And if
you have not figured out what I am doing in my
fanfic. I am up-grading the AD Police's
weaponry. But they are still going to be out
gunned most of the time. But, NOT all the time.
Also, I am going to bring back some AD Police
character like: Dieork and Jeena Malso.
Jamie Larson is Brian J. Mason. She is
not Largo. But, she is not a boomer. Nor, is she a
human and/or a replicant. Although, here is a
clue: Jamie Larson's weapon of choose in combat
is a staff.
Also, the Handyman and Pitman Projects
were Real!!! The website compares the
MADOX-1 mech to real life mech projects. The
website is:
