"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 threw
a punch at his face with it�s right fist. 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."

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.

Place: MegaTokyo: Tinsel City: Three City Blocks

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

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 Blocks

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 Blocks
Away From Lady's 633
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.

Time: Friday: Night: 8:56 P.M.
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.

Time: Friday: Night: 8:57 P.M.
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.

Time: Friday: Night: 8:58 P.M.
'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.

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 towards the

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,

answered in a humorous tone of voice.
Jake then proceeded to talk to Leon for about

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.

Place: Tinsel City: Vinny's
Time: Saturday: Morning: 9:50 A.M.
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.

Time: Saturday: Morning: 10:50 A.M.
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.

Time: Saturday: Night: 7:46 P.M.
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.

Time: Saturday: Night: 8:00 P.M.
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 put the cell-phone he was holding,

{Cardinal. My I ask a question.} James asked.
{You may.} Said the Cardinal.
{Cardinal John Goodsbe. Who was it that you
were speaking to on your celphone?} James asked.
{Just some personal business. Nothing that you
need to worry about James. You may go now James.}
Cardinal John Goodsbe said.
{Thank you.} James said. Then he turned and

Cardinal John Goodsbe then thought to himself.
'So, Jake Goodsbe. My twin brother. You said you

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."

Place: ADP HQ: Seventeenth Floor
Time: Monday: Morning: 10:00 A.M.
"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 2nd
Detachment was sent to handle the problem. 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."

Place: ADP HQ: Sixth Floor
Time: Tuesday: Morning: 11:00 A.M.
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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

*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.

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: 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:
