I won't even waste my time (or yours) on the legal mumbo gumbo.

Onishima's Special Task Force

Chapter 1: Boring!

It was like any other day in Tokyo-to, grinding, tagging, thoroughly pissing off Onishima and his squad of what appeared to be clones. Beat wondered if anything would change, if there would ever be another challenge for the GG's to face. Since the Rokkaku corporation pulled most of their operations there due to humiliation from the little "incident" that happened just over a year ago, things had gotten just a little on the boring side.

"Today's gonna be the same ol' same ol'." He thought with a sigh. Each gang is still holding their own in their turf's. Every once in a while, though, the Noise Tanks would pull something off like random power outages and maybe a computer virus or two, nothing too major. Poison Jam would do the occasional "frogging," as they called it and throw garbage all over wherever they went. But, other than that nothing else really happened that would shake things up. The same routine Shibuya-cho day in and Benten-cho night out.

Everyone was tired of it. Mew would complain every other day about having to spray her tags repeatedly over the Love Shockers own brand of creativity. Yup, they were still hanging around. Combo and Cube were going steady and seemed to be more interested in each other than the group. They still came around from time to time, but not nearly as often as they used to. Yawns and blank stares were popping up all over where "Cool!'s" and "Lets go!'s" used to flow freely. Garam, the trick master, was starting to get a little sloppy and spilled every now and then from the sheer lack of excitement and suspense. Tab and Slate took up jobs at a local department store, they were so bored. As for the others, let's just say things were in a rut and going downhill fast.

Even Professor K was feeling the monotony, often playing the same song four or five times before he would realize it. No one would admit it, but Jet Set Radio was the only thing keeping the GG's, or any one else for that matter, alive.

While trying out some new tags with Gum, Beat came up with an idea to have some fun. A big smile streaked across his face as he thought what they could do. Gum noticed the grin, "What's so funny?" she asked. "You'll see soon enough," Beat told her. "Whatever." Was the only response she gave as she went back to spraying.

"I propose an all-out assault on Kogane-cho!" Beat yelled. He made sure everyone was at GGHQ to hear him make the statement. "That sounds like a good idea!" Yo-Yo blurted. "I could use some exercise!" Piranha exclaimed. "Finally! Something to do!" said Mew. It was agreed, the GG's would hit Kogane-cho next Saturday at around 4:00 in the afternoon.

Beat was ecstatic to see everyone so alive and energized again. He went to bed that night with a big smile on his face. He knew there would be no complications. He had no idea he and the rest of the GG's would receive the biggest shock of their lives.
