Disclaimer: Just so you know, I don't own Jet Set Radio Future/Jet Grind Radio or any of their characters. Be cool as hell if I did, but Sega/Smilebit owns them, not me, so meh…I do own the OCs in this story though. I will also be including a few new sections of Tokyo cause it's just too damn small for my taste. Okay, on with the story!

'I should have drank so much water on that last flight!' Rhyth thought to herself as she dashed out of the restroom. She hurried through Seattle-Tacoma airport toward the gate for the plane to Tokyo. She ran down Concourse C, checking the gate numbers to see if they matched her ticket. "C7...C9...C11...C13! Yes! I made it time!" She shouted triumphantly as she stopped in front of Yoyo and Gum and struck a victory pose. The two GGs were sitting in a row of leather chairs that served as the waiting benches for departures. "Where's Corn and Beat?"

"Corn's getting pizza," Gum replied and rolled her eyes. She was wearing an 'I "heart" NY' t-shirt instead of her usual shirt and took a sip from the bottle of Jones Soda she had gotten from . "Why he's getting it now I have no idea. Especially when the flight's leaving in half an hour and they should start boarding soon. Beat disappeared. Haven't seen him since we went through security." She turned her head toward Yoyo. "Yoyo, do you have any clue where Beat went?"

"No idea yo," Yoyo replied. He didn't even bother to look up from the magazine he was reading.

Rhyth bent over at the waist and peered at the magazine cover, curious to see what had Yoyo's attention. "Playboy, I knew it." She said aloud, which caused Yoyo to freak out.

"Rhyth! Can't you just look over my shoulder like a normal person?!" Yoyo said in an irritated tone as he rolled up the dirty magazine and stuck it in his jacket. His face was bright pink from embarrassment.

Rhyth giggled and sat down next to Yoyo. "Chill out Yoyo," She teased, "They don't have cold showers in the airport." She giggled even more as Yoyo gave her a dirty look.

"This Beat friend of yours," a low voice said, "Does he wear large headphones and large sunglasses?" Rhyth's eyes widened as she saw the voice's owner. A strange-looking guy sat on the row of chairs across from the GGs. He was huge, at least two meters tall. He was dressed in blue pants, jacket, fingerless gloves, and a pair of large wraparound headphones. On his feet were a pair of two-toned brown hiking boots. His tanned skin was a stark contrast with his blue outfit. He had short, spiky brown hair and had two squinting blue eyes. Hanging round a strap from his shoulder was a black, narrow cylinder-shaped bag. A long piece of what Rhyth guessed was hay stuck out of the man's mouth. She giggled as the image of a stereotypical hillbilly popped into her mind.

"That's him," Gum replied as she looked the guy up and down, "You know where he is?"

"He's right over there at the soda machine," The man pointed and all three GGs turned their heads and looked down at the end of the concourse. Sure enough, there was Beat, hitting a soda machine in frustration.

"Thanks…" Rhyth's voice trailed off when she realized she didn't know what the guy's name was.

"His name is Mud," the boy sitting next to Mud said bluntly. Rhyth tilted her head to the side as she turned her attention the speaker. He had had shoulder length black/brown hair, with his bangs cut just below his eyes and pushed to the side, revealing his pale face. He wore something that resembled a black trench coat with the collar turned up, a white t-shirt, blue jeans, and a pair of black shoes. He couldn't be much older than eighteen. A pair of cold blue eyes lazily stared at Yoyo, who finally looked up from the magazine.

Yoyo looked incredulously at the other guy. "You're kidding, yo?"

"Rain's telling the truth," Mud replied, "My name is Mud."

"That's an odd name," Gum said with a somewhat forced smile and looked at the people in the chairs next to Rain.

The one next to Rain was occupied by a teenage Asian girl wearing a dark purple hat that had cat ears added to it. The unusual hat kept her waist length black hair in check. She wore a lavender tube top over a black mesh top, a pair of purple shorts with a cat tail attached, and a pair of what looked like black combat boots. She looked about seventeen or eighteen. Chocolate brown eyes stared at back at Gum from behind the girl's indigo highlights.

Gum averted her gaze and looked at the occupant next to the teenage girl. A teenage boy dressed in a large white ski jacket, black cargo pants, and red shoes sat hunched over slightly in the leather seat. What caught Gum's eye were all of the zippers on the boy's clothes. The main zipper on his jacket was a silver color, while the zippers on the pockets were bright green. There was a blatantly obvious metallic gold zipper for the cargo pant's groin area, and there were neon orange zippers on the normal pockets of the cargo pants. The cargo compartments had neon blue zippers and there were two red zippers at the pants' knees. Gum's eyes traveled up to the boys face and saw a mop of red hair that past the boy's green eyes. Gum raised an eyebrow as she saw the tinge of red on the boys cheeks and followed his gaze over to Rhyth. 'Why am I not surprised…' Gum thought and looked back toward Beat.

"You're all crazy yo," Yoyo said as he closed the Playboy and decided to give the four strangers his full attention.

"Says the baka reading a Playboy in public," the girl teased, and stuck her tongue out Yoyo in a childish manner. She let out a small giggle as the veins in Yoyo's head looked like they were going to burst out from his skin in rage. He was about to reply with comeback of epic proportions when a new voice interrupted their insult-fest.

"Wazzup my dawgs!" A tall, lanky guy wearing the most outlandish pair of sunglasses Yoyo had ever seen walked up to Mud and Rain. Yoyo raised an eyebrow at the sunglasses lenses', which had a white, opaque tint that hid his whole eye because of the large, wrap-around form of the sunglasses. His eyebrows were concealed by his messy blue hair, and six neon green wires extend from the back of his head from underneath his hair to what looked like a small grey backpack he was wearing. He wore a black t-shirt with a neon green outline of a wrench emblazoned on said shirt, and black pants. What made Yoyo do a double-take was the neon green magnetically driven in-line skates the guy was wearing.

'This guys' is a Rudie?' Yoyo thought and looked at his own skates then at Rain and Mud, 'Then that means these guys are…'

"TECHIE-KUN!!" the girl shouted and glomped the new guy, knocking to the ground. "It's been so loooooong!" She whined. Yoyo glanced at the bottom of her combat boots and saw neon pink wheels hidden by false bottoms on the skates. 'They are Rudies!' He thought.

"It's been twenty minutes Kat," Rain pointed out, bursting Kat's bubble. "Took you long enough Tech."

"I was giving security a going-away gift," Tech replied with a shrug and got to his feet, pushing Kat off of him.

"Nyaah…" Kat grumbled, and was about to say something more when a female voice said over the intercom: "Flight 1108 Seattle to Tokyo, economic class now boarding."

"That's us," Rain said, motioning to his companions. Kat, Mud, and Tech all walked toward the entry ramp with Rain. The red haired boy remained where he was as the other four walked/skated onto the plane.

"Sup," Corn said as he walked up in front of Gum, a half-eaten piece of pizza sitting on a paper plate in his hand.

"Good pizza I take it?" Yoyo asked as he rolled up his magazine. Corn nodded as the female voice said "Flight 1108 Seattle to Tokyo, Coach now boarding."

"Hurry up Beat!" Gum yelled at the headphone-wearing leader of the GGs, who pulled a soda out of the machine and came skating towards them. The GGs grabbed their carry-ons and walked over to the check-in counter. The red haired kid quietly got up and slid behind Rhyth as the GGs boarded their flight.
