(Opening Narration)
Nobu: What is life? Some vast subconscious territory that connects souls? Is it just a world that we visit until we reach a new one? I want to know, damn it. Damn it all!
Title: Time of the Ares 01
(Nobu's Room)
Nobu: (He woke up to his alarm clock, not switching it off, sitting up and staring forward) I had that dream again. The dream of dinosaurs, and cavemen. Evolution. God. Then came humanity. I saw myself. The end.
Hanuko: (Pounding on the door) Nobu! Turn of your alarm clock! I can't deal with this every morning!
Nobu: If you don't like it than try closing the door to your room for once!
Hanuko: I do! At night, but then I wake up, open the door, and hear that annoying buzzing!
Nobu: Sister... you're a pain in my ass.
(Dining Room)
Nobu: (Sat the table eating his breakfast at a fast rate)
Hanuko: You don't have to eat like that. There's something called "savoring the taste" you know.
Nobu: Can't talk. Eating.
Hanuko: Nobu, you could be a little more appreciative that we have our house. If it wasn't for me taking response-ability when dad went into the reserve and when mom and dad chose to divorce-
Nobu: (He stopped eating and there was utter silence)
Hanuko: I'm sorry. I didn't mean-
Nobu: (He stood up) Just because you can handle it well, doesn't mean I can too. (He walked out of the house)
Hanuko: Hanuko Hanagawa. Age, 25. Older sister of Nobu Hanagawa. Nobu Hanagawa. Age, 15. Younger brother of Hanuko Hanagawa. Just got to remember that.
(Outside Environment)
Nobu: (Opened garage, sat on motorcycle, and started riding around the neighborhood. While he was riding, he saw a teenage girl being chased by a strange man) What?
Daniel: Stop her!
Yukino: It's not like I've done anything wrong! (She tripped and fell)
Daniel: (He stood in front of her and pointed a gun at her head) You know what happens to little girls that mess with men like me, bitch?
Yukino: I am not a bitch! You monster!
Daniel: That's it! (He reached for the trigger)
Yukino: (She thought) My life... is over.
Nobu: (Just as Daniel was about to pull the trigger, he turned around and hit Daniel with his motorcycle)
Yukino: (Just stared)
Nobu: Are you going to get on or what? (He opened his hand to her)
Yukino: (She grabbed his hand and sat on the motorcycle with him)
Nobu: (He drove off not looking back) Are you alright?
Yukino: I'm... fine.
Nobu: So, why would a man like that be out to kill a cute girl like yourself?
Yukino: Cute, huh? Compared to him and the others, I'm not cute. I'm just a nuisance. That man's name is Daniel Garrette. He's from the mafia.
Nobu: Mafia? (He began thinking) By helping this girl, that means I've become a target of the mafia! This is not good!
Yukino: If you want to just drop me, I don't mind. I'm used to it by-
Nobu: Don't be stupid. A pretty girl like you shouldn't throw her life away.
Yukino: You're different.
Nobu: I know I am. (He drove onward)
(Dark Room)
Mindgate: (His eyes are the only thing visible) Daniel Garrette, you screw up.
Daniel: Sir, it's not my fault! It was that-
Mindgate: Boy. I know. But you let him get away with our target! Remind me, what was your mission?
Daniel: Mission: Girl in Blood. Objective: Kill and return her body here.
Mindgate: And you did not succeed! You incompetent moron!
Daniel: Sir!
Mindgate: You screwed up too many times. Here's a new mission for you. The name of your mission is Seek at Will. Objective: Capture the boy and the girl and return them here.
Daniel: But I have no idea where they are now-
Mindgate: Just do what I say! This is your last chance! If you mess up this one last time, I will Sacrifice you!
Daniel: No!
Mindgate: Then maybe you'll succeed this time. Now, go.
Daniel: (He turned around and walked away) Whatever you say... Mindgate.
(Mall)
Nobu: (He gets off his motorcycle and takes the keys out)
Yukino: What are we doing here!?
Nobu: I'm bummed.
Yukino: So what does that have to do with anything!?
Nobu: I shop when I'm bummed.
Yukino: But what about the...! Fine, but if that man is still chasing us, then this is a bad idea.
Nobu: I know. I know.
(Mall Montage)
Yukino: Hey, thank you for saving me.
Nobu: Not a problem. But it would be nice if I could get your name.
Yukino: Yukino.
Nobu: Just Yukino? Not a last name?
Yukino: I hate my last name. It's too common.
Nobu: I see.
Yukino: Well, what about you Mr. Hit and Run?
Nobu: Nobu.
Yukino: No last name either?
Nobu: No. You won't tell me yours!
Yukino: Well, mine is common so you should figure it out!
Nobu: Then you'll have to figure my name out too!
Yukino: Nobu... people are staring.
Nobu: Oh... Shi-
Yukino: Knock it off you knuckle head!
(Mall)
Yukino: Wow. I've never had that much fun at a mall before.
Nobu: Then we should go together more often. After all, a big part of life is socializing.
Yukino I know... but we stayed far past closing time.
Nobu: I tend to do that on days that I'm bummed. (He went to put his keys in the motorcycle's ignition when he noticed the tires were popped by needles) What the hell!?
Yukino: Who would do this?
Daniel: Daniel Garrette would.
Yukino: You ass-
Nobu: (Holds onto Yukino) Yukino, calm down.
Yukino: Why should I when that monster killed my parents!
Nobu: What?
Daniel: All to keep the secret. Change of plans. Instead of just killing you, I'm going to capture you and your new accomplice. You'll most likely be sacrificed to nature. It's either you two or me.
Nobu: Sacrificed... to nature?
Yukino: (She sat down next to the tire) I'll never go! Right, Nobu!?
Nobu: What does he mean by "sacrificed to nature." He's not really in the mafia is he!?
Daniel: Wait a minute. She said I was from the mafia? Far from it. You know nothing therefore I don't have to bring you back anyway. Nature will be upset, but Mindgate will be pleased.
Nobu: Mindgate?
Yukino: (She picked up a needle and stood up) Daniel Garrette, I will never lose to the likes of you. You can hunt me all you want, but you will never win. So you might as well die! (She threw the needle at Daniel hitting his left shoulder)
Daniel: You bitch! (He tried pulling it out with his right hand)
Yukino: Come on! (She grabbed Nobu's hand and ran with him)
Daniel: (Pulled the needle out) You can't get away that easy! (Chased after them)
Yukino: (She held onto Nobu and jumped into the mall through a window. The alarms went off)
Nobu: Yukino! The police will be here soon!
Yukino: Good! (She let go of him and ran out of the store and into the main part of the mall)
Nobu: Yukino! Wait! (He ran out of the store, but stopped because he couldn't find her) Damn it. Yukino, where are you?
Daniel: (Pointed his gun at Nobu) Since I don't have to capture you, I can just kill you.
Nobu: Tell me, Daniel, how many rounds does your gun have?
Daniel: Six, of course.
Nobu: When was the last time that you reloaded?
Daniel: What? I don't remember. Now what type of stupid-
Nobu: Then is it possible that your gun has no bullets in it.
Daniel: Don't push your luck you-
Nobu: This yelling just means that your nervous. You're afraid that I might be right.
Daniel: You son of a-
Nobu: (He kicked backwards causing Daniel to fall to the ground and pull the trigger. It had missed his head, and he ran) You better check those bullets, wannabe!
Daniel: (He looked at his rounds and saw that was his last bullet) Why that bastard! (He threw his gun aside) So be it. This will just be a lot more fun. (He put on a sinister smirk)
(Hanagawa front yard)
Hanuko: (Left the house and entered her car) Nobu's not home yet. Maybe he's at the mall again. He should be home soon, but just to be sure, I better check. (She drove off in search of Nobu)
(Mall)
Yukino: (She hid inside a Kiosk for antique knives. She took a few knives and equipped herself with them) Hopefully I won't have to use these.
Nobu: Yukino! (He called her name as he was running)
Yukino: That's Nobu.
Nobu: Yukino, where are-
Yukino: (She grabbed Nobu as he ran passed the kiosk she was in and hide him with her) Nobu, shut up. He's after us, or have you forgotten.
Nobu: I know, but I gave us some time to get out of here. I tricked him, and now he's on the far end of the mall.
Daniel: Or he's right here! (He grabbed Yukino and jumped away, near the edge of a fence that showed the first floor)
Yukino: Nobu!
Nobu: Garrette, let her go!
Daniel: Don't be so rash. If you want, I could just drop her to her death.
Nobu: But then you'd fail your mission!
Daniel: Come now. I could finish it with her dead or alive. It's not like my mission was specified on status. I'll kill her if I have to, and frankly, dead is a lot easier than alive.
Yukino: (Grabbed a knife) Oh really!? (She stabbed his ribs and made a run for it as he let go)
Daniel: Damn you, you bitch!
Yukino: Wow. What language. Damn. Bitch. You definitely need a better vocabulary.
Daniel: (He pulled the knife out of himself) Do you honestly think I'm going to lose to the likes of you people. Water! Heal me!
Nobu: What is he talking about?
Daniel: (All of a sudden, his wounds started to heal instantly)
Nobu: What the hell? How did he do that!?
Yukino: He didn't.
Nobu: What? You know about this?
Yukino: Far too much. That's why he's after me. Him and Mindgate.
Nobu: Can't you just tell me who or what Mindgate is?
Yukino: I'm afraid I don't have time. (Two knives fell out of her pockets)
Daniel: So, you had a bunch of knives with you. Clever, but I should have expected that. I've been playing games with a gun. I should have done this in the beginning. Air! Levitate for me! (All of a sudden a gust of wind came and levitated the three knives in the air) Air! Kill the boy! (The knives started floating fast at Nobu)
Yukino: Nobu!! (She stood in front of him and got stabbed in the left shoulder, chest, and right cheek. She fell to the ground)
Nobu: (Looked shocked) Yukino!! (He grabbed her just as she almost hit the ground) Yukino! Why did you do that!?
Yukino: Because... I didn't want... you to die... (Dies)
Daniel: How cheesy. Young kids like you act like something out of a corny soap opera. It makes me sick. Well, now my job should be easier. Step aside boy or you will share the same fate.
Nobu: Yukino... Yukino... (He put his hand to her face so he could close her eyes, when he felt breathing) Breathing? (He started thinking) She's still breathing. (He took another knife out of her pocket and stood up with a demonic look on his face)
Daniel: What's with you boy? Step out of the way.
Nobu: No.
Daniel: I see. In that case, I'll just have to kill you too.
Nobu: Fat chance! (He threw the knife at Daniel)
Daniel: (Caught the knife) Please. I'm used to this now. You can't kill me with a knife.
Nobu: (Ran while the knife was thrown) But what about with my fist!? (He punched Daniel and Daniel fell over the fence landing the edge of a kiosk table. His blood spilled from the top of his head to the floor as Nobu watched) That bastard. He's dead. And I killed him. That means I'm going to hell when I die.
Nature: I would not be so sure about that. (A goddess like figure appeared in front of Nobu)
Nobu: Am I dreaming or something?
Nature: This is not a dream. There are many secrets to life which you do not understand yet. I have a feeling you do not want your new friend to die here. I will call upon Water to heal her wounds if you do one thing for me.
Nobu: What is it you desire?
Nature: I am being hurt by the one called Mindgate. If you can't stop him in time, I will die and this world along with the next will no longer be in existence.
Nobu: I accept.
Nature: So be it. I command Water, Earth, Air, and Fire are with you now. This is the whim of Nature, a goddess.
Nobu: So... you are Nature... (Water came and surrounded Yukino. As soon as the water evaporated, Yukino opened her eyes and Nature disappeared) Nature! Where did you go!?
Yukino: (Sat up) I'm.. healed?
Nobu: Yukino! (Ran to her) You're alive!
Yukino: I know. Thank you.
Nobu: I didn't do it. It was Water.
Yukino: Water? So you know more now...
Nobu: What?
Yukino: Nobu, do you know what you've gotten into?
Nobu: No. What?
Yukino: You got into an adventure that can tear apart the fabric of time.
Nobu: So that's what... (He grabbed onto Yukino and walked out. He put Yukino on his motorcycle as he pushed it home. Halfway through the ride home, he saw police cars heading toward the direction they came from)
Yukino: Don't you think those police men are a little late?
Nobu: Very...
Ending Narration by Nobu: So this is what I've gotten into. My dreams of the past, my existence in the present. Now, this is going to be my future. I have met Nature herself along with Water and Air. Soon I will meet Earth and Fire. If this is what my meaning in life is, than does that mean life up until now was a lie?
