When Life gives You Lemons
Ch.1
Disclaimer: I don't own Jet Set Radio.
Summary: Rudies have been disappearing without a trace. Whole entire gangs have dispread, and even members of the GG's have gone missing. The few Rudies that are left have joined together to make a new gang that goes by the 'The Show Stoppers', and the only one who can lead them is the last member of the GG's, Yoyo. But when your gang is made up of the three oddballs of Rapid 99, a Poison Jam member who is scared of his own shadow, a Immortal who keeps tripping over his own two feet, and a silver tongued liar, one has to wonder if they will be able to keep themselves alive let alone try and find the missing Rudies.
The story takes place after the ending of Jet Set Radio Future.
When Gouji was defeated, everyone in Tokyo thought everything would become nice and peaceful, or at least as peaceful as it would ever get with all of the Rudie gangs running around. Tokyo actually was pretty peaceful….. At least until a total of about three months had passed, that's when the disappearances started happening. At first it was only one gang that had disappeared. The Love Shockers had gone missing and no one knew where they could have gone. The rest of the gangs did not really care about the Love Shockers being gone; it meant less competition for territory. It was only when members from all the other gangs started to slowly disappear did everyone start to worry.
At first it would only one person would go missing, but then people would start to disappear in gropes of twos and threes until everyone was gone, never to be seen again. Even the members of the famous GG's started to disappear. The first GG to go missing was Boogie; she said she was going to cover up some tags that were made by the Immortals made over at Kibogaoka Hill. A couple of people asked if she wanted someone to go with her but she would just give a smile and decline the offers. No one was all that worried about her going there, so no one insisted on going with her or anything.
However, when two days had passed and she did not return, they immediately went out to look for her. Professor K even made an announcement about her going missing on Jet Set Radio, but even after a month of searching she was never found. Everyone started to stay in groups of two or three so that hopefully no one would go missing, but it was all in vain. First Jazz and Clutch went missing, and then Cube and Combo, but the GG's were hit the hardest when Corn and Gum disappeared. When their leader and there second in command vanished, the GG's did not know what to do. Beat was chosen to be the substitute leader until Corn or Gum was found, but deep down everyone thought that Corn and Gum were gone for good just like the rest of the missing GG's. It was a rather depressing thought, but for everyone in the GG's it was time to face the music. Rudies were going missing left and right and once a Rudie was gone they were never seen again.
No one really knew what happened to a Rudie when they disappeared, but of course rumors would spread thought the city, told from one scared Rudie to another. Some said that it was Gouji's curse on the Ruddies for destroying him and his plans to take over Tokyo. Others said that it was the Golden Rhinos that were making the Rudies vanish; they were finally getting revenge on all the Ruddies for making a mockery of their group. Another rumor that was going around was that the Rokkaku police finally found a way to take care of Ruddies once and for all. There was of course no foundation for any of these rumors, but that did not stop anyone from spreading them. No one, not even Professor K, knew what was going on and with no information the GG's really could not do anything but do their usual thing.
Out of everyone in the GG's, Yoyo was the one who was hit the hardest from the vanishing friends, but he didn't show it. On the outside, Yoyo didn't seem all that bothered by what was going on. He still played with Pots, pulled pranks with Garam, and joked around like he always does, but on the inside…. Well, that's a different story. Yoyo hated to be alone; he had been alone for almost his whole life so the thought of being all alone again was not a happy one. Every time someone from the GG's disappeared, Yoyo would get sadder and sadder although he never showed it. They had enough problems as it was, Yoyo did not want to worry the GG's even more by acting all depressed or anything so he didn't show it. Not only was Yoyo a good liar, but he was a pretty good actor as well. Every day, Yoyo worried about another GG going missing, but everyone (or everyone who was left anyway) was still there by the end of the day. Yoyo thought and hoped that maybe it meant that no more GG's would go missing. All his hopes were dashed however on that one fateful morning.
Everyone decided that they would go out and spray some tags and restock on some food that day. Yoyo was chosen to hold down the fort at the Garage whale everyone else went out. Yoyo of course complained about being left at the Garage, but he did as he was asked regardless. Everyone decided to stay together and that they would come back to the Garage at six p.m. on the dot. So after saying good-bye to Yoyo, they all went off to Dogenzaka hill and Yoyo went a played with Pots to pass the time. Soon enough, six p.m. passed by and not a single GG returned. After waiting for two more hours, Yoyo set out to look for the rest of the GG's. The green haired boy practically turned Tokyo upside down on his search for his friends, but he didn't find hide nor hair of the GG's. They were gone just like all the other GG's were and Yoyo was left all alone and there was not a thing he could really do about it….
Ok, so that's chapter 1. Also, don't worry Yoyo won't be alone for much longer, and I know Yoyo still has Roboy and Pots with him but I don't think it's the same as having all of his friends with him.
