HUGE DISCLAIMER. i don't own Bleach or Hackers. this story is everything i don't usually do with fiction. this is a novelization of the 1995 movie "Hackers", with Bleach characters taking the roles, the dialogue is the same with a bit of tweaking in the plot. seeing as the technologies of the mid-90's are completely different from today, and i also don't know correct usage of computer jargon, just don't let it take away from the story i am trying to convey. i had writer's block while writing "Never Let This Go", i just wanted to write something else for a change, and this idea popped into my head when i had this movie on in the background. the main character reminded me of Ichigo in a way, plus i thought it would be a very different setting with a lot of opportunities for character mischief. this is meant to be ooc, have short chapters for quick reading, and just written for fun. if you have some time, check out the originial movie; it's classic.
Bleach/Hacked
Chapter One
A Hacker's Turnabout
"Ready? GO!!"
Two dozen heavily armed agents ran through the apartment home in downtown Tokyo. Although the inhabitants of the skyline apartment were under heavy undercover surveilance for the last two weeks, this time the police allowed a crowd to gather on the outside of their barriers while they made their arrest. A barrage of noice descended upon the building, a mix of feet travelling across the limolium floors, the commands of the lead officers, and surprised shrieks of bystanders.
"Go go go go! There is no threat, arrest the target!"
They kicked down the front door to the apartment, shards of wood flying out into the living room of a middle class family.
"What are you doing?!" screamed the mother in the kitchen. Two officers detained her while five more pointed their guns in her face.
"Don't move! Get the guy upstairs, break anything in your way!"
Ten soldiers filled the hallway that led to the bedrooms deeper within the apartment.
"Break it down."
"Stop it! My son is in there! What are you doing?!"
"Go go go! He's in there!"
The woman's screams were loud, but quickly drowned out by the sound of a battering ram crushing the wooden door.
There were more news cameras in the courtroom than actual people. The media couldn't stay away from covering the biggest court hearing of the year. Inside the courtroom, Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth could care less that this story and his performance would be broadcasted across the globe, even as far away as America. All he wanted was a guilty verdict, and he didn't care who the defendant was.
"The accused, Kurosaki Ichigo, also known under the online alias as Zangetsu, has repeatedly committed criminal acts of a malicious and terrozing nature. Although he possesses a superior intelligence, Kurosaki uses his gifts to a destructive and antisocial end. He created and released a computer virus that crashed fifteen thousand and seven computer systems, afflicting the business and trade district of Tokyo, single-handedly causing a five point drop in our local economy."
Slouched in the hard wooden seat, the accused tugged at the tight collar of his brown suit. No eleven year-old liked being confined in starchy clothing on a Saturday morning. Kurosaki Ichigo sat next to his mother Masaki, who kept a firm hand on his knee. Somehow, the silent gesture comforted him, even though he felt like he belonged with the dirt on the bottom of Masaki's shoes. On the other side of his mother, Ichigo's father Isshin, sat sobbing into the palm of his hands. At least his two younger sisters, Yuzu and Karin, were not present in the silent courtroom to witness his disgrace. Or at least, the unmasking of his alter ego to the whole world.
Ichigo watched the grey-haired prosecutor with the purple coat take a slight bow before returning to the desk on his side of the court room. He felt a frown tug at the ends of his lips as he watched the pompous man take his seat.
The judge at the front of the coutroom banged his gavel loudly on the counter. Although the judge was bald, he managed to grow a lot of hair on the southern end of his face, through his beard. He cleared his throat. "Kurosaki Ichigo, I pronounce you guilty of crimes accused and hereby fine your family one hundred and fifty thousand dollars."
Ichigo's father sobbed louder, causing his mother to elbow him in the side.
"I sentence you to probation, the terms of which incluse that you are forbidden to own or operate a computer, nor a telephone line, until your eighteenth birthday."
The young Ichigo heard a sigh pass through his mother's lips. He felt like crying. Instead, he let his frown surface on his face, the creases almost touching his jawline. Ichigo never planned to execute anything malignant with the knowledge he possessed, and above all of the things he was ashamed of, he hated the fact that he had hurt his mother.
like i said, i was bored and had writer's block, so i just needed to explore a different subject for the time being. i hope you have fun reading this story, as i had fun bringing it to life through the world of Bleach.
