A New JGR Era, Part One: The Beginning
By JW Winter
---------
It had been a month since the GGs had defeated Goji and the Golden Rhinos, and everything was going great. The Love Shockers were gone, they had made up with their boyfriends, who were greatly impressed with their skills, so they retired. Poison Jam had gone off to college, which was rather surprising, but not too surprising since it was a community college. And the Noise Tanks hadn't shown up ever since the GGs had saved the city, but it was suspected they were planning revenge. All was seemingly going well, and things seemed to get even better when Onishima was kicked out of the force for being too cocky. He had done more harm than help, plus he was taking bribes from the Golden Rhinos...
GG's Garage
"This is Jet Set Radiooooooooooooooooo!!!" Professor K announced "Good news for all you rudies out there, the Tokyo government has fired Onishima, and it seems that there's gonna be a new, nicer captain this time around by the name of... Officer K, my little brother!!! He's been waiting for the chance, and he got it! I'm so proud of the guy. He plans to focus more on bigger crimes than rudie vandalism! So, all ya rudies, you're safe to express yourselves! Now, back to our regularly scheduled punk rock hour on... JET... SET... RADIOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"
"That is such a cool development." Tab said "Now, we won't have to worry about the Keisatsu anymore! And without the other gangs around, we can rule the whole city!"
"This is the greatest news, GGs." Beat said "But, I think we shall leave Benten and Kogane alone."
"WHAT?!" Slate yelled "You gotta be kiddin'!"
"Yo, what's up wit dat, yo?" Yo-yo said in agreement.
"Why, Beat?" Mew asked politely.
"Because, the only real reason we ever tagged up those places was to have a little challenge." Beat said "Besides, why should we focus on other people's turf when we've got our own?"
"The boss has a point there." Garam said "We've got Shibuya all to ourselves, so why go out to the other areas?"
"Because that's what GGs do." Piranha replied "We can take the whole city now that the kiesatsu have loosened up, thanks to K's bro, and all the gangs are gone, except maybe for the Noise Tanks..."
"Hmm, I see your points, and I really think we should stick to Shibuya, for at least a little while." Beat said "If it doesn't go good, we'll take the city by storm! Okay, guys?"
"I see." Slate said "You've got a good point."
"Yo, I agree with ya leader-man!" Yo-yo said "If we get too bored, we'll take the city."
"Ditto." Piranha said.
Suddenly, in came Combo and Cube. They had suitcases.
"Well, we're ready to go." Combo said.
"It was nice staying with you guys, but we wanna check out Grind City for awhile." Cube said "We'll be back in a month or two."
"I hope you have fun, guys." Gum said "We'll miss ya, but we know you're coming back, so, see ya later!"
"Good luck, and may the GG force be with you." Beat said.
"Bye." Combo and cube said, and went out the door.
"I'm gonna miss those guys." Garam said.
"Me too." said Tab.

Somewhere in the Benten-cho subway system...
Professor K's announcement ended on the way jazzified radio of the Noise Tanks. They had been in hiding just in case the Golden Rhinos tried to retalliate, and they hadn't. And this announcement from Professor K was just what they wanted to hear. Most rudie teams are only made up of three people, the GGs had just gotten lucky with all those new members. No one had seen the faces of the Tanks, they were usually suited up when they were out. It was believed they were at team of three hacker dudes who had gotten interested in the art of graffitti, and knew how to skate. But when they were in hiding, they didn't wear the masks... And the three were sitting around the table, munching on some fast food... They had long red, green, and blue hair, and lipstick the same color as their hair... The Noise Tanks were not guys at all... They were girls. Their mysteriousness had made everyone believe they were males, and they kinda resented the fact.
"Did you hear that?" the blue-haired one said "The kiesatsu aren't gonna cause trouble for rudies anymore."
"Yeah, I heard it, Tia." the redhead said "Now maybe we can make a comeback, whaddya say, boss?"
"Marie, you've hit it right on the head there." their leader, the green-haired one known as Charla "We can finally take Benten back, without hassle from those stupid cops, plus, we can get back at those stupid GGs for messing with us!"
"You know..." Tia said "I'm getting tired of everyone thinking we're dudes. I mean, it's good to be mysterious, but it's just like men to assume we are them."
"Amen to that." Marie said "When we attack next for our big comeback, we'll reveal ourselves!"
"Sounds good to me." Charla said "Are we in agreement?"
"AYE!" Tia and Marie said.
"Then it's official." Charla said "When we make our comeback, we'll show the populace we're girls! Yeah-ha!"

The next afternoon, in Kogane....
"Fssss!"
"Spritz!"
"Ssssssprrraaaaaaayyyyyyyy....."
"Fsssspritz!"
A tag had been painted on the Kibodoka sidewalk right by the shed... It was a wierd tag, it had the picture of a blue hedgehog with green eyes and a smirk, followed by the word "Sonic Rules!" in Japanese, plus a few spritzes here and there for style. The culprit, a guy with spiky blue hair, wearing a green jacket with a purple Dreamcast symbol on the back, a black shirt with an orange DC logo, blue khakis, and ruby red skates with a white stripe and a Dreamcast symbol smiled at his work. His name was JW, and he was the member of the SuperSonic Grinders... The new gang to hit the streets, and it was their first day... with that, he skated off to the door that went into the sewer, and came to the middle of it, where his other 2 teammates standed, one wearing a purple jacket with a red DC symbol, the other with a red jacket and a green DC symbol... Red had gone out to the residential district and put his sign there, and the other one had put one in Shibuya for the GGs to see.

Bus Terminal in Shibuya-cho
"WHAT???!!!" Beat screamed when he saw the tag on the billbloard "Sonic rules?! What's going on?! Slate, you found this, any ideas?"
"I'd say there's a new gang in Tokyo." Slate replied "A gang of Sonic the Hegehog fans, I gather. See, I toldja it wasn't gonna last."
"Well, I like Sonic a bit." Beat said "But a new gang's what's the real problem... Sigh, looks like the GGs are back in business."
"That's great, yo!" Yo-yo said "Let's get back and tell the others that we're coming back to the way it was."
"Yeah, let's go." Beat said.

Benten-cho...
Noise Tank symbols were painted over... By fresh Noise Tank symbols. The three were about to make a comeback, and they were gonna finally reveal their true gender.

GGs Garage
"So there's a new gang, and it seems they're Sonic fans." Beat announced "We're back in business, they sprayed our turf! And it seems they're from Kogane, because Gum and Garam were checking the place out, and that's where their symbols are."
Suddenly, they were interrupted by Jet Set Radio....
"We've got big, somewhat bad, somewhat good, somewhat wild news, radio fans!" K said "The Noise Tanks have RETURNED!!! They're spraying up their old territory in Benten-cho faster than ever, and they've sent me this announcement: They're challenging the GGs to come to Benten, they have something they wanna reveal! plus, there's a new gang in Kogane, a trio of wild Sonic the hegehog fans, they call themselves the SuperSonic Grinders, and they've been spraying the place, plus a little tag in Shibuya for the GGs to see! That's all for this announcement on... JET SET RADIOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"
"The Noise Tanks are back?!" Garam said "That's not good at all."
"Tell me about it." Beat said "Looks like everything's gone back to the way it was, except for the kiesatsu. This looks like a major problem. Okay, I, Garam, and Slate will go and see what the Noise Tanks want... Piranha, Tab, and Yo-yo will go check out these SS Grinders, and Mew and Gum will stay here and watch the garage. Let's move out!"
