--Disclaimer: I don't own AKIRA or its characters/gangs/locations. I only own Kiba and her 'friends'. So don't flame me, or I'll report you.--

AN: I have not got a great deal to say about this chapter…other than it's just mainly here to introduce you to the new 'Neo-Tokyo' and the new OC gang …mainly just an introduction.
Um…anyone here understand the title? If not, wait until the END authors notice. Please don't hit me because it's cheesy! I just wanted a Japanese title!
Also, I'm sorry if my typing sucks…just bare with it for a little while.

"We will learn to control it…."

"…it has already begun."

BEEP. BEEP.

Happiness is one thing the people of Neo-Tokyo craved alongside power. But what sort of power did they want?
The power of love? The power to save lives? Or was it the power to destroy both?
Neither. What they wanted was the power to get knowledge, the knowledge of AKIRA.

It had been exactly 5 years since that fateful incident in the heart of the Olympics Stadium, where friends where lost…families destroyed…bonds tied and bonds broken.
The city had pretty much been rebuilt economically and partly physically, but that long craved knowledge of Akira was still in the shadows.
The government (now fully run by a certain Colonel) withheld all information regarding Akira and the incident that occurred 5 years ago, stating that another bomb went off after a gang of kids tampered with it for terrorist plans.
And, most humorously, the public believed it and accepted it.

"It's time for you to go now. You don't belong here."

"When you wake up, make sure to cough before you try to breath. Otherwise you'll suffocate."

Thump. Thump. Thump. Thu…mp…

"Be good now."

FZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

"At exactly 23:00 PM yesterday night; a bright flash was seen just south of the old Olympic Stadium site, where many rumours have flared up over the past few years that the supposed 'bomb' that went off was actually Akira or one of his 'kind'. Shortly after the flash was seen several fires started up and began to burn at a dangerous rate where the source was claimed to be, the fire department have ensured that everything is under control and….."

"Turn that shit off!" yelled a short and slightly shaggy man, a comic book laying over his face as he sat at the back of the bar.

"Shut your mouth punk or get out!" the bartender snapped before turning back to his customer, drying off one of the beer glasses.
The fairly tall teenage customer chuckled under his breath as he smoked; a smaller teen with several fox-tails covering his outfit sat beside him also chuckled before patting the taller teen on the back.

"Where's your girlfriend anyway? I thought she'd be here by now, didn't you tell her to come here at 5:00?" the smaller teen laughed, before pushing his silver hair out of his face to reveal his 'kitsune-like' face.

"She's not my girlfriend, Kyūbi. She said she had a good plan for us to get back at those Akashi-scumbags and had to tell us immediately." The taller teen replied, taking a sip of his drink before putting out his cigarette.
Kyūbi, a half-man half-fox warrior of the northern lands, stuck his nose up at the taller teen.

"That's not the impression I got when you called her, Oni. Kiba has the hots for you anyway, can't you tell? Hmmmm?" Kyūbi snorted, Oni stopped drinking and eyed Kyūbi before yanking at one of the many fox-tails on his jacket to pull him closer.

"Shut up, or I'll turn you in to the military or authorities…then you'll end up like all the other members of your tribe. Test subjects." Oni smirked, his bright red hair flaring over his shoulders as he turned back away from Kyūbi as if already expecting the answer to be 'alright, I'll shut up'.
Oni looked up at the TV again to see that the image was getting very poor, but that the area also looked VERY familiar.

"…the military have set up a barricade around the area to prevent citizens from being put in danger, the fires may have died down but for some unknown reason all the electricity in the area has failed…the army just want to make sure the area is clear and would like to announce that this is NOT an attack on Neo-Tokyo. They claim it was just a faulty power cable that caused the explosion, but several people who live around the south Neo-Tokyo area disagree. Stating that something fell from the sky…"

Oni got to his feet in an instant after hearing the location of the incident, SOUTH Neo-Tokyo!? That was where their base was!

"Kyūbi, get off your dog-ass and come with me! I think Kiba might be in trouble!" Oni snapped at the kitsune-teen, before running outside of the bar.

"HEY! You haven't paid for your drink!!!" The bartender yelled as Kyūbi left the bar as well, teasing him as he ran.

Thump. Thump. Thump…

In the southern district of Neo-Tokyo lied the ruins of the Olympic Stadium, an area off-limits to the public…but also an area swarming with gangs and twisted scumbags.
The red-light district wasn't too far from the site, which was where Kyūbi and Oni's gang settled. They where known as the 'Rune-Tooth' Gang, led of course by Oni. Who is the oldest male member of the group being 19 years old, possibly older? No one knew his REAL age, because he kept it to himself. Not even Kyūbi knew it.

"I can't believe we call this shit-hole home, Kyūbi." Oni cursed as they rode their motorbikes into the southern district.
This area was where all the commotion was, people said the place was haunted because a few weeks ago the area started to act all weird…stuff would float off the ground as if an unseen force was trying to lift it…gusts of wind would appear out of nowhere…people would get sudden rushes of cold sweats and headaches, but one case was the most horrible of them all was the mysterious figure of a boy shouting at 4 children. All of which where not seen for long, since the 'illusion' only lasted about 2 minutes and only happened at 23:00 PM every Thursday.

"Wonder what that was all about?" a young lady asked the nearby teenagers, who where all wearing leather jackets with black and white shirts. The lady's sleeves where ripped off to show her black and white striped shirt's sleeves, which where stained with oil and also torn in certain places.
These where all members of Oni's gang, since their gangs colour scheme was mainly black and white.

"Don't know Kiba, but whatever fell down here must be worth something! I bet we could sell it for a mint and buy new bikes!" one of the boys answered, getting all excited. The nearby teen hit him on the head with a good slap, being smaller and all.

"NO! We would buy some actual weapons! None of this nail-bat crap!" the teen shouted back, the two then started to fight.

"BIKES!" one shouted.

"GUNS!" the other yelled back.

Kiba, however, wasn't interested in what they would do with the money...because it would be most likely that whatever they found would be worthless.

Krrrriikkk….BANG!

The fighting suddenly stopped, as did Kiba's movement. She stopped dead in her tracks to make sure she wasn't the one who made the noise.

"What the hell was that sound!!?" one of the teenagers asked as they got to their feet and scurried over to Kiba, stood behind her of course since she was the 'responsible adult' here.
Only 18 years old and babysitting a pair of 14 year olds. How pathetic.
She pushed them away from her.

"Shut up Oki! Stay here and keep quiet, only scream if the military or another gang shows up. Otherwise, I'll break your necks. Got it!?" she snapped at them in a whisper-like tone, they nodded in unison. Only agreeing to be quiet, to avoid invoking her wrath.

"I'm going on ahead, stay here unless I call you! That goes for you too Lecku!" she said before sliding down the nearby debris to reach the bottom of the stadium pile.
What a dump, this place was almost unrecognizable to the naked eye…the gang usually came here to have private group talks because they knew other rival gangs would stay away because of the rumors…and Kiba knew something about this place was different.
What caught her eye was the new wreckage in the center of the 'stadium', several sheets of metal and concrete where sticking up out of the ground…along with a strange amount of water leaking from the new wreckage.
Must have been recent, they only visited the place 3 days ago.

Kiba approached the wreckage and heard some sounds coming from within, sounded like someone was down under this pile of crap and in a LOT of pain.

"Hey! You two! Get down here, I think someone is hurt!" she yelled, waving the two teenagers over.

Thump. Thump...


"What do you mean we can't go in there!?" Kyūbi snapped at the large soldier in front of him, Oni was stood nearby smoking a cigarette.

"I've been given my orders, none shall pass! Not even rotten punks like you! Now beat it!" the soldier snapped, Oni approached and waved his hand at Kyūbi whilst using the other to smoke his cigarette.

"…tell me at least one thing. Was there a girl and 2 kids that passed through here wearing similar stuff to us?" Oni asked, putting out his cigarette.
The soldier snorted.

"No one has passed through here since we set up the barricade! Now BEAT IT!" the soldier snapped, Oni shrugged and looked over to Kyūbi before waving him over.

"Psst! The bastard is lying! I just heard someone shouting in the distance! It sounded like Kiba!" Kyūbi whispered to Oni, who instantly answered back that there was nothing they could do if she was in danger and that it was best to just head back to base.

"The chick is tough, she'll figure out a way to escape if she gets caught. Let's head back to base and wait for her." Oni suggested, Kyūbi snorted…being a kind-hearted person he hated the idea of leaving someone behind if they where in danger.

"…no…you go on ahead Oni, I'll get Kiba. Remember? I have my special Kitsune powers. Trust me Oni, I'll bring her back." Kyūbi said. Oni shrugged and waved as he turned to leave the hoard of people who wanted to see what was going on.
Kyūbi smirked almost sinisterly; he loved using his Kitsune-magic on morons like this, it was easy as 1-2-3.
All he had to do was trigger a smoke-screen, turn into a fox and sneak past security.

Thump…

"Jesus! This kid looks awful!" Lecku shrieked, seeing a naked and scarred body being lifted out of the hole.

"He's in bad shape, wonder if he was here when that explosion went off?" Oki said as he sat the battered and bruised boy down and wrapped his lather jacket around him before they all noticed something odd about the boy.

"AHHHH!!!" the two teenagers screamed, Kiba grasped the right arm of the boy and gasped.

"He has a METAL arm!?" Kiba shouted before looking at the boys' face which was smothered in blood.
From the looks of it he hadn't slept in ages and was very weak, he might have been trapped down there for some time.
The boy finally opened his eyes and started to cough, blood splattering across the floor and leaking from his mouth.

"Take it easy now; you're out of that hole." Kiba said as she patted the boy on the back, helping him get rid of whatever it was clogging his throat.
The boy finally stopped coughing and gritted his teeth, one of his eyes half open and the other firmly shut to prevent any blood from his forehead blinding him.
Kiba pulled out a handkerchief from her back pocket and dried off most of the blood, before ripping most of her sleeves off to wrap up his wounds.
She then forced one of the teenagers to surrender their pants, after all, this boy was almost totally nude…they couldn't take him anywhere like this.
After the boy was partly dressed and cleaned up as much as possible, Kiba checked his pulse and forehead. The poor kid might be ill, because he sure looked like he was.

"You're pulse is very slow…and you're burning up…but what's with the cold sweat? We better get you back to our base before you pass out." She suggested before helping the boy up, trying her best to avoid touching that metal arm again.
Man, that thing was creepy.

"Kiba…I…I don't think this is such a good idea. Oni will KILL us if this guy is a spy or something." Lecku said who was now only wearing his underpants and his undershirt.

"Shut the hell up! I'll explain everything to Oni when we meet him later! Now….can you walk?" Kiba snapped before returning her attention to the boy, who was now trying his best to walk on his own…but was failing rather badly.
SLAM! His face hit the ground.

"…I guess not. Hey, help him up! Uh…before I forget, you got a name kid?" Kiba asked the boy as the two teenagers helped him up; he glanced around him as if unaware of his surroundings, eyes wide and full of uncertainty. He quickly sprung into panic.

"WHERE THE FUCK AM I!!?" he yelled, now starting to struggle and try to run…but of course, fell flat on his face again.
The teenagers helped him up again, Kiba placing her hands on his shoulders to stare into his dark eyes.
The boy looked around nervously; slightly weary that Kiba was testing him.

"…the kid has amnesia too…maybe if Oni finds out he can join our gang, we could use some good looking guys in it. Unlike you ugly fucks!" Kiba insulted the teenagers, but they dared not retaliate knowing how dangerous she was when angered or severely frustrated.
The boy blinked densely at Kiba before directing his gaze to her chest, a slight 'smug-look' on his face.

"At least he's not gay. Unlike Kyūbi…hehe…hey! Stop looking!!" Kiba yelled before slapping the boy across the face, then quickly apologizing as he yelped in agony.

"Oh! Sorry! It's just a reaction I have, being in the red-light district and all I get a lot of perverts looking at my chest so I have to hit them. Anyway, do you remember your name or anything about where you live?" Kiba asked the boy, who shook the pain off after being apologized to.
He blinked again.

"Uhhh…" the boy looked slightly dazed and uncertain, maybe he forgot everything?

the boys memories You're name is Tetsuo Shima. You're 20 but LOOK 15. You don't have ANY family. You live in Neo-Tokyo but don't remember where. And that's because you're a fucktard. Oh yeah, and you can ride a motorbike. end memories

"…Tetsuo…Shima…I am Tetsuo Shima." Tetsuo replied, still slightly dazed and confused.

"You're name's Tetsuo? Well, where do you live? I bet your parents are worried sick." Kiba said, but was quickly interrupted by the harsh bark of a white fox that was sat on a box nearby.

"Kyūbi!! Don't scare us like that!!!" Kiba shouted as the white fox elegantly transformed back into the young man from earlier, his tribal-fox attire making him stand out most brightly in the dark junk heap.

"I knew it, you just freaked out because you thought the rumors where true. Well, they're a load of rubbish and…wait a minute, who the hell is that?" Kyūbi asked, pointing at Tetsuo.

"God-dammit! How many questions are you gonna fucking ask me!!?" Tetsuo yelled, now fully awake and stomping his feet around like a little kid who isn't getting their own way.

"Wow. The kids got attitude. But that still doesn't answer my question." Kyūbi then asked the question again.

"His name is Tetsuo Shima. And he seems to have amnesia, doesn't seem like he remembers where he lives or anything about his family. I think he'd make a good addition to our gang but I need to ask Oni first, you seen him?" Kiba asked, but was interrupted by the sounds of a helicopter overhead.
It was the army again.

"No time! Come over here and I'll take you to Oni! Bring Tetsuo with you!" Kyūbi instructed, reaching his hands out to the 4 others.

"HALT! You are under arrest!!" the man in the helicopter shouted as he shone the searchlight on the group, Tetsuo covered his eyes to dim out the light.
That was when a flash suddenly rendered Tetsuo from moving; he froze in his vulnerable stance until Kiba grasped his arm and flung him onto her back.
The other teens took one of Kyūbi's hands, Kiba just narrowly grasping his hand as they teleported to safety.

"Did it work?"

"Yes…but he seems to have lost almost all of his memories."

"…isn't that a good thing? He won't be able to use the power if he doesn't remember having it."

"It makes no difference to how he uses the power. When we all channeled his energy into going back he lost a lot of the power, he's just like how we where."

"Does that mean he's going to be a better person?"

"…I don't know, but one thing is certain. The future still looks dark, but for a change, Tetsuo may be the one who ends it."

"I hope he does, after all, isn't that why we sent him back anyway?"

"Yes. He is the only one who can defeat HIM. When the time comes, we must aid Tetsuo in banishing the evil once and for all."
