Chapter 1: Implosion

Combo rammed full-speed through the window of the boarded-up building that blocked the way to the garage, knowing Tab wouldn't dare try the sick shortcut of tearing through the hobo-hideout. But just as he smashed through a back window, Tab dropped down out of a second-floor window and landed just ahead of him! Combo quickly picked up speed and found himself neck-and-neck with Tab.

"Yo! First into da garage wins!" Tab challenged. After dashing down the street for a short time they were in front of the garage door and as soon as it opened just the crack Tab needed, he bent over backwards, supporting his wait with his wrists which shredded his sleeves, and successfully slid under the garage door before Combo.

"Man, you cheater." Combo said, gritting his teeth as he watched Tab do his victory dance. "You knew you'd have an edge in that race 'cause you're so dang short!"

"Yo! Somebody fallowed y'all here! Check it!" Yo-Yo said pointing to a man who was pathetically trying to hide behind a tree so as not to be spotted by Garam, who was supposed to be looking out for Keisatsu but was too absorbed in his Game-Boy.

"Onishima!? You guys let him fallow him to our HQ?" Gum asked nobody in particular.

"THIS IS ONISHIMA TO ALL UNITS! I'VE FOUND THE PUNK'S HIDE-OUT!" Onishima yelled into his walkie-talky. Moments later the message was intercepted by Beat's communicator and was played back. As if the other GG hadn't heard Onishima's hollering the first time. Beat quickly let Garam in and closed the garage door. He laughed briefly as Onishima cursed, but then got to work figuring out what to do.

"Hmm... We could spray paint him and then have Yo-Yo imitate Onishima's voice on the walkie-talky, telling them that it's just a false alarm." Beat offered.

"Sweet! I knew my impression of Onishima would come in handy someday!" Yo-Yo agreed.

So Cube and Yo-Yo snuck out the back entrance and raced at Onishima full-speed.

"Ah-HA!" Onishima yelled at them. But before he could fire his pistole, Cube skidded behind him and painted a tag that looked like pig with a particular hair stile on the captain's back. While Onishima was busy with Cube, Yo-Yo snatched his Walkie-talky and raced away. But just as he began barking into it in his best Onishima voice, an army helicopter flew into view.

"Surrender at once." The soldier hanging out the window yelled into the megaphone in his hand. But moments after the words escaped the soldier's mouth, Combo leaped off the garage roof and tagged an Onishima-haired pig onto the windshield.

"CAN'T SEE!" They heard the pilot yell.

Then things turned worse. Three busses arrived, filled with fresh cops.

"Tag them all in the face!!" Beat yelled, reasonably calm, considering he knew that all the other GG knew this was probably the end. But all ten GG tried their best anyway.

"Sweet! Three down and only... forty-five to go." Yo-Yo yelled.

The battle continued, and believe it or not, the GG had pretty much won three minutes later. The officers were beginning to slam into each other, High from the fumes of red, green, blue and black paint. Then the officers began to run from the scene, AFRAID of the GG! That's when the helicopter, which was aimlessly circling the sky until now, began to fall. Then it Imploded through the roof of the garage, spreading flames which quickly consumed the GG's home. Beat had hardly managed to rescue Potts, and Combo was so enraged he charged at Onishima and slammed his boom-box against the police captain's head.

"Punks..." Onishima began before he passed out.

The ten GG raced towards the sea, hoping to lose the cops and then regroup in Benton-Cho. No garage equals no home, but, Benton, the Noise Tanks being banished to the subway tunnels, was there turf now, making it at least a place to stay...

"Jet Set Radio! Unfortunately, Cube, Yo-Yo and Beat were the only ones who managed to regroup! Where'd Slate, Garam, Mew, Tab, Combo, Piranha, and Gum go??? Did the keisatsu nab 'em? Or maybe they where kidnaped! The Noise Tanks have a reason for revenge, the Love Shockers probably want their turf back, and Poison Jam are probably pissed for being tagged twice before! Or maybe I'm just trying to promote the story! HAHAHAHA! Jet Set Radiooooo!"
