Tokyo Knight
Drift
It all began in at a place called Diclonius Research Institude on an island not far from Japan. Guards were watching over the imprisoned creature in the facility. They were superstitious, because this creature was a killer. Later, one of the guards took some notes until he heard the sound. He went to check on the creature. Then, realizing he dropped his pen, the guard checked the ground. All the sudden, another guard came in.
Guard B: Hey! What are trying to do? Make it mad?
The first guard started trembling, preying he would find find his pen.
Guard B: Sasaki! Get back!
The next day in the control room, General Manager Kurama spoke of the creature to two men; one was the vice-minister, and the other was the well-known Bruce Wayne.
Kurama: I would like to point out that that it's very dangerous to come close to her in a radius of 2 meters. Otherwise, she'll kill you. So if you drop anything like your pen, sun-glasses, or anything else, it can't be done. You'll have to leave it to the security. As you may have noticed on your way in, one of the guards died trying to reach his pen, so be cautious.
Kuruma brought his visiters to the facility. They didn't like it.
Bruce: Building this 20 meters underground just to keep some girl? Isn't it too big?
Kurama: No. If you come close, you'll wish you didn't meet her. That's why we have a large one.
Vice-minister: Still, this is so wrong. Waisting tax money just to build a giant prison.
Kurama: We're short on that "tax". That's the point of my calling you here.
Vice-Minister: By the way, that is this thing we're seeing?
Kurama: As I was saying, she's a mutant due to the genetic defect. Mutants die when they're born usually, but this one's able to get used to things and live. We locked her up because she has more than one pair of arms.
Kurama guided Bruce and the vice-minister into the facility as it opened.
Kurama: Yes, she's a new species...Diclonius.
Bruce and the vice-minister couldn't believe what they saw. Worse, there was a sound that shocked them and a marking on the ground in front of the Diclonius prisoner.
As they left the facility, they met a beautiful young secretary who was rather clumsy. Bruce and the vice-minister noticed her constant tripping, and Bruce had already started to feel close to the girl. Perhaps he wanted to show some concern for a woman as clumsy as the secretary, which is normal for certain individuals.
In the office, the girl was speaking having a conversation with her coworkers.
Office Worker: Aren't afraid of our Chief Director Kurama? He always seems mad and his eyes look sharp. But you do your jobs like there's no problem.
Secretary: What do you mean? Our director is nice. Sure I'm clumsy, but I'm doing my best to make him proud.
As for the secerity, things were getting worse. As one of the guards tried to make a call, his cell-phone mysteriosly spun out of his hand. He spotted it in the prison and went to get it. The other guard tried to stop him, but it was too late. In fact it was to late for the first guard to get his phone. His arm broke off. The second guard tried to pull his partner away, but the first was forced in. He got to his knees, and sensed that there were hands around his face. Then, his head tore off. The remaining guard trembled. He then spotted a key being taken by the Diclonius. So he took out his gun. His firing had no affect. The Diclonius unlocked the strap to prison, and she was free. Now, her body was nude, though she had a helmet on.
Kurama showed the x-ray pictures to Bruce and the Vice-minister.
Kurama: Look at this. Here's a CT clip that took a picture of her brain.
Vice-Minister: This is the cerebellum, right? And what's this ball?
Kurama: The pineal body. It's said to control the sixth sense, but humans lost this when we gained knowlege. So now, the normal size for this is only about 5 millimeters
Kurama continued his info and mentioned the possibility of mankind's extinction if the Diclonious was to escape, but Bruce was not interested.
Bruce: Does she at least talk?
Kurama: Of course. So...why do you ask?
Bruce: I just thought that rather than lock a mysterious being up, we could at least reason with her.
Kurama: "Reason with her"? Huh! That won't be so easy, Mr. Wayne.
Suddenly, the alarm sounded.
Kurama: Lucy...impossible.
The secretary was swinging down the hall with a coffee. She then heard a screech. That's when she saw Lucy appear. The secretary wondered what was with the the helmet.
Kurama: Kisaragi!
It was too late. Lucy grabbed Kisaragi She was scared.
Guard: Sir, had she held Kisaragi hostage, she wants us to open the gate. Otherwise, she'll kill her!
Bruce: I agree.
Kurama: What? Are you insane? We can't let Lucy loose...
Bruce: You said that she can speak!
Kurama: Yes, but it won't be easy.
Bruce: Alright, than I'll just speak to her at my own risk.
Bruce slowly approached Lucy.
Bruce: Lucy, right? Now, if you'll just cooperate and let the girl go, everything will be alright.
Suddenly, a slash on the sleeve of Bruce's suit came out.
Kurama: Idiot! Look what you did!
Bruce backed away to a safer distance.
Bruce: You want to save Kisaragi, if that is her name, don't you?
Kurama considered.
Kurama: Alright, you have a point.
Kurama slowly approached the swiched while Brice waited to retrieve Kisaragi. As the door opened Lucy let go of the girl unharmed. What happened next was outside was that one of the gunners prepared himself with a Barret M82. His aim was for the back of the head, for what use is Lucy in that area. But then, she turned, as if she heard them. A bullet may have hit her and made Lucy fall, but at least she was alive. Kurama watched the fall, then he turned back.
Kurama: Call security and tell them to search for her!
In front of him stood Kisaragi and Bruce. Bruce did not like what Kurama was planning.
Kurama: Mr. Wayne, why so furious? Are you not game for Lucy?
Bruce: Director, I'm game for anything if it's beyond the business. But I came here to learn about Dicloni, not capture and/or kill one. How would you know she's the future cause of extinction? What good would killing a Diclonius do for those that want to learn about it?
Kurama: You saw what she did, Mr. Wayne. That is the sign.
Bruce: To assume things without coming up with less violent solutions to a misguided being is blasphemous. You know, if you want to kill Lucy senseless like a mosquito, go right ahead, because I'm leaving.
Kurama: Wait! I'll make you deal! How does 420 thousand yens sound?
Bruce: What's the point? I've got plenty. Besides, I know you're just talking me into killing Lucy. You're on your own.
As Bruce left Kurama, Kisaragi followed.
Kisaragi: Bruce, take me with you!
Bruce: Take you...with me? Why?
Kisaragi: I noticed you had feelings, and I wanted to see what your life is like.
Bruce: *sigh* Alright.
Elsewhere in Koto, Tokyo, a boy came out of the train at Aomi station. He was to meet his cousin in Koto after failing an entrance to college. He missed her after 8 years. The boy had forgotten his cousin's face since they last saw each other. At last, his cousin came.
Cousin: Kota? Is that you?
Kota turned in response.
Cousin: Thank goodness! You haven't changed a bit! So, you're going to the same school as me, right?
Kota: Yeah.
Cousin: Thank goodness! There's someone attending the same school as me!
Kota wasn't sure if his cousin had the same charm and appearance after 8 years.
Cousin: Kota-kun?
Kota: Yeah?
Cousin: You didn't forget, did you?
Kota: You're...Yuka!
Yuka: Yep!
They took a walk to the seaside.
Yuka: We used to play here alot when we were younger.
Kota: Did we?
Yuka: You don't remember? Well, that's fine. I'll take you to the house you'll be staying in.
All the sudden, Yuka noticed something.
Yuka: K-Kota.
Kota:?
In front of them stood a naked girl in the shallow water. Blood dripped from the left side of her head.
Girl: Nyu...
The girl walked out until she ran as if panicky by the watchers. That was until she slipped and fell. The girl then started to wail. Was she hurt from whatever caused the bleeding? Or was she scared? Kota knew better than to stare at a naked girl, despite his curiosity.
Yuka: Kota, take off your clothes.
Kota What?
Yuka: Nevermind, this is important.
The only clothes Kota could offer were his button-up shirt and his boxers fom his bag. He then noticed something. On the girl's head were two sharp triangular pyramidical lumps.
Kota: Feels hard...a horn?
Yuka: Not a good idea to let her go like this, so let's take her home.
Kota: Alright.
Bruce brought Kisaragi to his home and showed her around. Kisaragi liked it and wanted to become an assistant.
As they arrived, Kota saw they were staying at an inn.
Kota: Here?
Yuka: Yeah.
Kota: So the house they agreed to let me borrow was an inn?
Yuka: Yeah, even though it's no longer being used. My mom says she won't make you payas long as you do the house well.
Kota: How many rooms are there?
Yuka: Ten, I think.
Kota: So you want me to do all ten when I'm simply living in only one?
Yuka: That's not all. You also have to do the gardens.
Kota: So is that it? Using me as a manager until someone can come and handle it all?
Yuka: Mom says the inn will be out of business if nobody lives here.
Yuka turned to the girl.
Yuka: So...You can't speak our language, can you?
Girl: Nyu?
Yuka: Hmm...If only we knew her name.
Kota: She does keep saying "Nyu", so I was thinking we could give her that name.
Yuka: Hey, you smell something?
The odor was coming from the girl. They didn't know why, at first, but when she slipped and fell, urine spread across the floor. Yuka had to give her a bath while Kota cleaned up the mess. Who was this girl? Why couldn't she speak a human language?
Yuka and the girl came out of the bath all dressed.
That evening at the beach, Kisaragi and Bruce had a walk at the same beach the the girl appeared in. Two police inspectors asked the kids some questions, and Bruce spotted a photo of Lucy one of the inspectors was holding. Beyond that, thanks to his studying foreign languages, he heard about Lucy being with two couples.
Bruce: We better head back.
Kisaragi: Why?
Bruce: I don't want to say too much, but what I can say is that this could be our chance to find Lucy.
Back at the inn, Kota showed Yuka and the girl the seashell.
Kota: Kanae gave it to me before she died.
Yuka: Yeah. I really miss her.
The girl took the shell and looked at it...then she broke it. Kota was furious!
Kota: What did you do that for? That was my sister's memoir! Get thet the hell out if you're gonna treat our stuff like crap!
Tears came out of her eyes, and she ran.
Kota: Honestly. How could she do such a thing?
Yuka: Perhaps...because you seemed sad looking at it. Kanae would be sad to see you sad.
Kota: Still, that's no excuse to ruin one's memoir.
Yuka: I know. But you have to let it go. Kanae would've been more sad to know you were thinking of her too much. It's raining now and we better find her.
At DRI, there was a conformation that Lucy was somewhere in Koto, Tokyo.
Kurama: If she's with them, they wouldn't live. Contact Kachijima. We're assigning SAT.
Shirakawa: SAT?
Kurama: Special Assault Team.
In the field training room, a new SAT recruit, Bando, was practicing his shooting. Everyone was impressed...that was until he shot at the wrong target.
Target controller: Bando! Take This seriously!
Bando: What's the fucking point? I've been doin' this for too long! I rather shoot people!
Bando left the training room.
Bando: I'm through with this shit.
Corporal: Today's your lucky day.
Bando: Wha...?
Coporal: Four-hundred hours this morning, a killer escaped from prison. Your mission is to find and kill this murderer.
Bando: My mission...is to kill? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAA! After 8 years of training, I finally get to kill someone!
Just then, a secretary approach behind. But then...WAH! Bando pummeled her in the face, and she fell.
Bando: Don't come crawlin' up behind me...bitch.
What could she have done to deserve this? And what was it about Bando that made him want to kill people?
At his Japanese home, Bruce got to his underground lair while his butler, Alfred interviewed Kisaragi. He got to the computer to encode the coordanance of which Lucy once was and trace the map. In front of the image of Lucy were Kota and Yuka. He didn't know them yet, though. He knew that SAT could be out anytime, so this is what he did... He went into that was like a wardrobe and put on a dark suit.
Back at the inn, Kota began to feel guilty for yelling at "Lucy".
Kota: God. I shouldn't have been so harsh. Not to a person that has no idea about our language. I gotta find her, but I don't have an umbrella.
The two inspectors arrived.
Inspector A: Is this house empty?
Kota: I just moved in. Why?
Inspector A: *showing badge* We're police inspectors. We just want you to cooperate. *shows photo* You scene this girl?
Kota: W-what did she do?
Inspector A: We're asking the questions here...
Kota (angrily): Don't talk to me about who's asking the questions!
Inspector B: I think we should give it a rest. Anyways, this girl we're searching for is a killer, and she's escaped. If you see her, let us know.
The inspecters finally left Kota alone. Over him on the roof, a mysterious figure was watching them.
The SAT were heading to Koto on the Sea Knight.
Bando: I never expected an order to kill a kid. This worthless training finally paid off!
Captain: That's enough, Bando. You get your chance.
Bando: I better! 'Cause I waited forever to literally give it a shot. (to his comrades) As for the rest ya'll, the killer's mine. Anybody that shoots her first gets a cap up their ass. Get the picture?
All the SAT men nodded nervously.
As for Kota, he didn't like what he heard about Lucy being a killer, so he went to find Yuka.
On the beach, Lucy hobbled toward the water weeping. But what was she doing there?
To be continued...
