Brief author's note:
Thank you very much for dropping by here to read my work.
To summarize this story up, it's virtually a crossover of everything I could think of, ranging from anime to movies. My goal is to entertain you as much as possible.
I don't normally make long chapters because I know how busy most people are, so don't expect anything TOO long from me… from time to time, anyhow. Most chapters will be as long as this one is, and some will stretch quite far down the page. Just saying this for future reference.
This story is quite popular at another place on the 'net that me and some online buddies of mine managed to keep going for a long time, but I've done a LOT of remodeling to the storyline, so neither two are exactly the same. Now please, do go ahead and enjoy… And please note: This is the Prologue. The other chapters look nothing like this, so you can skip this chapter if you wish, but you may want to come back to here sometime in the future... You'll find out why later, but for now... Please... Do read.

PROLOGUE
It is a chilly fall night. There are three men surrounding an area in the small forest of Tokyo2, examining a body of a young female with long silver hair and wearing a mud-stained navy blue kimono with an ocean blue sash around her waist. One of the men is in a truck nearby talking on the radio, while the other two men in the blanket of darkness are speaking softly…
"…We found her body several miles away from the border between our world and Neo Tokyo."
"What happened to her?"
"We're not sure yet. There will be an autopsy soon. As you can see, there are no visible wounds on her body, and she seemed to have died quickly. She's even smiling! It could have been a poison, but I've never heard of a poison that works that quickly on a human being."
"Who killed her?"
"We're not too sure just yet, but we do have one suspect."
"Does she have any kids?"
"Yeah, she does. Just one."
"Are you sure? She could have more."
"If she did, then we've had no clarification of them. There are no other certificates of any other kids of hers, and just photos of her only child, so she only has one. We've done the research and are one hundred percent sure of it, trust me."
"How are you so sure of this?"
"Her body was found a few hours ago, and we have been looking up information on her as quickly as we could. We have top-notch investigators, believe me."
"What's the child's name?"
"His name… is Akira. Akira Tanaka."
"Akira, eh? Does he have a father?"
"…"
"What is it?"
"…We suspect he was the one that killed her."
"But… Why would he kill her? They were so happy together, so I've heard as well, and there weren't any problems going on between them."
"As I've been told, looks can be very deceiving, and it seems she has been deceived all this time."
"Has the child been taken yet?"
"He has, but some of my men have been saying that they've been having trouble containing him."
"Containing him? What do you mean?"
"He has some freakish powers that we can't seem to control. We're trying our best not to let him loose."
"How old is the kid?"
"He's only about a year and a half old, but he is quite powerful."
"Interesting…"
The man in the truck rushes towards the two men standing next to the dead woman, who lies on the ground almost in the shape of a cross.
"Hey, guys, we have a problem at HQ! They say that the kid has escaped!"
"You mean Akira?"
"Yeah, the kid of this woman!"
"How did he get out?"
"Some people say that he just disappeared from the room he was in! The cameras stopped functioning several minutes before he escaped."
"We have to find him! Who knows where he could go."
"Why do we need him? He's only a child."
"That he is, but he is the child of… you know."
"That's true, very true."
"But you're right. What are the chances he'll survive out in the desert?"
"Yeah, he'd be better off dead. He's just as dangerous as his father. He'll surely die in the desert. If that doesn't kill him, dehydration and disease will!"
"Indeed. Contact HQ and tell them not to bother with the kid. We don't need him."
The man who ran from the truck walks back to it quickly.
"Do you think that's a very wise decision?"
"Of course! Are you doubting me!"
"I didn't say that, sir!"
"Then shut up and keep looking for clues. There's got to be some around…"
"We're going to regret this in a few years, just you wait… We will regret this…"
