Jet Set Radio Future:

anthem.:.south

A Fan Fiction by Segal

No new characters.

No drama queens.

No overdone action.

Just people and their decisions.

-------------------------------------------

I'm living my life in acts and scenes,

passing time by simple means.

I'll pretend that it's all okay,

but it's the same encore as yesterday.

anthem. has been in storyboard for two months. I've tried to put anthem. into a fan fiction form many times before, but it just didn't work. Because I rushed. So I carefully crafted anthem. to reflect how the GGs work, carefully looking at each situation differently, and learning how people will act. Simply, it's a written art of the GGs and their fight against the biggest threat of all. Bigger than Gouji and the Tower of Ultimate Beauty. The backlash of his death, and how it effects their lives.

Preview of Part I: .south (17 chapters)

The control lost with Gouji's death is astronomical. The population of Tokyo is in panic without a leader. The government is in panic without a leader. Riots have been breaking out in demand for control after many people take advantage of the confusion to steal, kill, and commit other various crimes. Without Gouji, there is no law. Without Gouji, there is no control. The economy is in ruins, and Tokyo has become it's own private war zone with itself.

The GGs can hardly fend for themselves anymore. Hayashi is chasing them down with nothing to restrain him, and his own followers from the police force who have no leader, besides him. The GGs can't buy anything - money is near worthless, they have to steal and fend for themselves in Tokyo. The garage is only an abandoned lot now, and without their own security, no one can really be certain about the future of Tokyo.

Notes on anthem.:

The title of the whole series is in lowercase and ends with a period. The different parts of the series are in lowercase and start with periods. There's a new section of the city next to the garage "Sakura Plaza" also known as Cherry Blossom Plaza, because of the numerous Sakura Blossoms growing there.
