Cowboy Bebop-The Alternate Universe Sessions
Note: This is just my interpretation of Cowboy Bebop. This series happens at the exact same time frame as the original series. I'm not trying to copy off any other fic series like this though. Don't flame me though if this first part makes no sense. This is just a first draft, though I'll revise it if the need arises.
(Tank! music theme, scenes slightly different, instead of Spike, Jet, Faye and Ed. You see 2 young men, a young woman, and a teenage girl. The ships are the same. )
Session #1
Jailhouse Rock (w/ same 1st episode harmonica music)
It was just another day on the Blue Dragon (don't ask why I named it this). It wasn't very big; it had a triangular shape to it. It all just seemed like stacked triangles (the structure of the ship). It had several lasers on it and a torpedo launcher as well. Ran was on the ship staring at the ceiling trying to relax. It was one the joys of being a bounty hunter; lazing around the ship when there were no big bounties around. Ran was normally built guy. He was about 5'll with black hair. He didn't have many other outstanding features, other than his eyes. They had a strange tint to them, which made them have a strange gold color, but it was not too bright; it was more like faded gold. He was a young man, about 23. Suddenly, he heard a familiar sound, and a familiar voice.
"Hey! Big shot's on!" said a feminine voice.
It could only be Syl. Ran was still staring at the ceiling, or more specifically the ceiling fan. Then Syl's face appeared above him.
"Oh." He simply said getting up slowly.
Syl was about 22 years old, with long black hair. Well, it once black. She had dyed it blue. Ran thought the color fitted her perfectly, after a few laughs from him. She was actually an inch taller than he was. She had blue eyes and always seemed to carry a pale texture to her skin. She was the one who named the ship, even though it was Ran's ship. He let named it out of friendly courtesy, since the two had been best friends for over 10 years.
"I bet you they only have crap bounties today." Said Syl.
"Well we could get lucky today." Replied Ran.
"How y'all doing out there buckaroos! Its time for Big Shot!"
"The show that tells about fugitives. Our first bounty is this man!" It showed a strange looking man in jail clothes.
"This man is the jailed serial killer Wade Spaulding. He escaped from a prison on Venus and killed several guards and inmates. He's worth 4 million woolongs. He was last seen on Mars. "
"4 million! That would be more than what we've been getting lately." Said Syl.
Ran seemed a little disappointed at first, but quickly changed his tune.
"I was hoping for something in the double digits, so we can finally upgrade this ship, but I guess we can't be choosy." He said.
Ran went to the ship's controls and began plotting a course for Mars.
"What's for dinner?"
Syl was also the cook. She was very good. Most of the time she was commended for her cooking.
"Bell peppers and beef." She answered.
"This time, put the beef in it."
This was not one of those times.
"Hey, if we catch this guy I'll do that. Until then, just eat the damn thing." She said walking away.
"Come on! I didn't say that they were bad, it was a just a general concern!" Ran tried to explain.
Meanwhile on Mars.
"No, No, No!" was the screams of the dying man.
"Shut up and bleed! Now, time for a little identity switch." Said the attacker.
He dragged the body out of the alley and into the trunks of his car. The criminal then put on a wig and some new clothes. He looked exactly like the man he had just killed. He closed the trunk and got into his car. Underneath the guise, there was a somewhat ugly man. He had some cuts and sores on his face, it had looked used and worn; it was Wade Spaulding. He had a trait of killing people and stealing their identities.
"Now to put on the finishing touches." He said while driving off.
Back on the Blue Dragon.(an hour or so later)
"Okay, You head over to the cops and see what they got. I'll check the last place he was seen." Ran said.
"Yeah, yeah. I know the drill."
"Well, let's mosey, baby."
"Right."
They both got in their ships and took off after landing. They went their separate ways looking for clues. Ran landed in a small town sometime later. It was just your average town. People living were just living out their lives, trying to get by.
"Well, let's see what up."
He walked down the street. He noticed the sights and sounds of the place; it reminded him of days long gone by. Suddenly, he over heard a conversation that made the day go a little bit easier or theoretically, harder.
"2 pair again! Goddamn son of bitch! Taking my money like that you cheating dogs! Why the only reason you can even eat here is cuz of what id done!"
"Would you shut up about that! You're always saying that when your losin'!"
"Ah, forget it. Hey, did ya see this. There was guy driving in this white car about an hour ago. He driving with this strange thing sticking out of his trunk, it looked like a hand or something. It parked in that alley down the street."
"You think it's that murderer guy?"
"Well, if it is there's no way I'm gonna tangle with him!"
Ran immediately came to attention. He remembered he passed an alley on the way here. He then ran down the street back to the alley he just past. He methodically peeked around the corner and there was a white car. The trunk was open. Then he saw something that disturbed him. In the corner, a man was taking a knife and was actually skinning the man. Ran had very good eyesight in order to see this. The alley was pretty long, and kinda narrow. But why would he doing this in broad daylight? He slowly walked up to the man. Then the man got up and faced Ran. It was Spaulding.
"So, you've come to take me back huh. Just try."
"Well, if you insist."
Ran whipped out his desert eagle. It was sort of a subconscious action; the fact he'd taken his eyes off of him for a second. In that second, Spaulding had disappeared.
"What the hell?"
Then something hit him in the face. Ran didn't understand at first, but he instinctively kicked forward. He hit something physical. Spaulding suddenly appeared in front of him.
"What the FUCK was that?"
(Cue cool jazz fight music)
"Sorry little man! Now you get to die, but never fear! You will be a part of me in death." Wade said.
"You're insane."
Wade lunged at him with the knife he had. Ran dodged and fired a round. It missed and Spaulding attacked again. He slashed at Ran's head, but he dodged and body checked him throwing him back. Then all of the sudden, he disappeared.
"Stealth Camouflage?" he thought.
He suddenly saw a strange outline drawing closer to him, hugging the wall.
"Oh shit!" Ran said in a panic. He fired several rounds at the wall. One bullet hit him in the leg; the other shot the knife out of his hands. Wade then threw something at Ran that exploded in a flash of light. Wade then ran to a car, broke into it and drove off. Ran recovered and pulled out a revolver and shot it at the car. It hit the door, to which he was grateful. Then a ship landed in front of him.
"Hey, did you find anything?" she asked
"Yeah, him."
Later.
"So he killed a bunch of ISSP scientists and stole the stealth camo, and he used to work for them?"
"Yeah. However, the project was unfinished. He suffered a terrible dose of radiation and went a little crazy. The camo, once it's used, requires a certain amount of time to cool down. I guess that's what the murders are for as well. So he could disguise himself. The police just happened to catch him in the act. Good thing they had tranquilizers."
"It still makes no sense. Where did you get all that info anyway? There's no way you could have gotten all that from the police."
"If I told you that, I'd have to kill you. It doesn't matter though; he got away! We'll have to start-"
"I put a tracker bullet in his getaway car." Ran interrupted.
"You did? So you met him, huh. Did he nail you?" she asked.
"Once."
"Well, lets see where he is."
Syl looked on the computer screen. There was a map of all of mars. Then there was a beeping sound. They'd found their prey.
"He's in the east district."
"Hold on! He could have killed you last time! I'm going with you."
"Fine, I gotta get my tool though. I know how to beat him."
Ran walked to his room and got some sunglasses and a strange looking gun.
"Let's go cowgirl!"
"What the hell? Why are you taking that?" she asked pointing to the sunglasses.
"Wait and see."
Later in the East District.
Wade had spotted his next victim. It was in an old abandoned part of town. There were warehouses and slums around. He was just walking aimlessly. He then hastily put on his disguise and walked over to the man he spotted. Then, he turned around.
"What!? You again?"
"Yep. You think you're slick huh?"
"How did you find me?"
"That bullet I put in your car showed us the way. I like to call it, 'insane killer radar.' "Ran said confidently.
"You stupid cowboys are all the same. I'm going to enjoy killing you."
"I think not." Said Syl, "You're coming with us."
Syl had appeared behind him
"I see you want to die as well, girl. Very well." He said.
"Well. Let's dance."
Ran put on his sunglasses.
"Stupid cowboy. Wanting to look cool on his deathbed. I'll give him what he wants." Wade thought.
Wade disappeared. He moved toward Syl ready to kill. Ran drew his gun and it fired a strange pulse that knocked him down.
"What?! You're gonna pay for that bounty boy." Said Wade cloaking again.
(Cue jazz fight music)
Ran dropped the gun he had. It was the force gun, a type of stun weapon. Wade ran at him and began attacking relentlessly. He punched again and again. But he missed every single time. Ran, tired of dodging, punched him in the face and followed up with a roundhouse to his side. He chained some complicated martial arts moves together and put Wade on the ground. Wade then tried one final attack. He tried to stab Ran, but he grabbed the knife and broke his arm. Finally, he followed up with a flip kick and put him down for good. All the while, Syl was wondering what the hell he was fighting.
"Here's the gizmo." Said Ran taking off the camo device. Wade appeared in front of them bleeding and bruised.
"How?" he said.
"Yeah, how did you read his moves?" Syl asked.
"A little thing called infrared vision." Ran answered.
"Now I feel like an idiot."
Ran laughed.
"Don't sweat it. Well, the four million woolongs is ours."
The police came minutes later. Strangely, Wade did not resist. Although he was crazy, he was certainly not stupid enough to cross Ran again.
Later.
Ran was practicing his Jeet Kune Do in the lounge area. It was nearly dark in the room. Then Syl came in.
"It's ready."
"What's cooking?"
"Special, bell peppers and beef, with the beef." She said tossing him a cigarette.
Ran found it hard to contain his happy disposition as he lit the cigarette.
SEE YOU SPACE COWBOY.
("The Real Folk Blues")
Next session:
Ran: Now that the show's underway, it's time to have some fun!
Syl: Oh no.
Ran: What? Come on! Lighten up!
Syl: I have a feeling this fun is almost gonna get us both killed.
Ran: Well, everything else we do almost gets us both killed.
Syl: Exactly!
Ran: I just hope nothing goes wrong this time.
Syl: Next episode: "Casino Royale"
Ran: Oh, who am I kidding?
