"COMMUNICATION CENTER TO ALL GOLDEN RHINOS. THE CHAIRMAN HAS INITIATED PLAN R, ALL UNITS MOVE TO THE TOKYO AREA IMMEDIATELY. IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY DONE SO."


"Hey Clutch. Say man, I don't think this is a good idea…"

"What!? Hey Soda dude, you're the one who said you were bored. I'm just trying to help cure you of that! Heh, you see?"

"I guess… then again, it's not like we have anything else better to do…"

"Exactly! So just, have fun!"

Clutch and Soda are two best friends. One is the opposite version of the other. Clutch had a vibrant appearance that stood out. A fire red shirt with spiky red hair that resembled flames and grey pants with a flame design and a gold chain attached to his left pocket. His skates were greyish blue with red wheels and he had red and yellow bands around his wrists.

On the other end, Soda's taste in style consisted of calmer tones. He wore a teal-green jacket with a collar so high that the bottom half of his face was concealed. He wore black goggles with green lens on his forehead, green pants, and black gloves. He wore teal-green skates with orange wheels. Soda was nearly bald except for the brown tuft of hair that rested at the very top of his head, but his most prominent physical feature was his big nose.

And these two friends, were looking for trouble. They decided to look for it at the GG's garage.

Clutch scanned the area, looking for any sign of a presence. Then he nodded, "All right, this place is completely empty Soda! Let's look around!"

Soda hesitated, "Wait… Clutch, what exactly are we doing anyway?"

Clutch grabbed Soda by the shoulders, "Dude, hello! Look around you! We're in the GG's garage! This is the hottest gang on the street right now! Have you been paying attention to the word at all? Sheesh!"

"Well, okay…? What are we gonna do here?"

"We're gonna go through their stuff that's what we're gonna do! We gotta see what they got stashed here! I bet they got some cool things!"

Soda became more mindful, "Whoa, Clutch. We're not gonna do anything bad are we?"

Clutch looked shocked, "No way dude! It's just gonna be fun to poke around in their stuff that's all! Now come one!"

The two skated deeper into the garage until they could get a good look at the warehouse. Clutch eagerly rubbed his hands together, "Aw man! I bet in that building is where it all is! Come on Soda."

Soda wasn't as enthusiastic, "Clutch man… what if they come back and catch us?"

"Then we'll run like hell outta here! It's no big deal, hurry up!"

Soda sighed, "Fine…"

Inside the warehouse, Clutch and Soda climbed through the window and got a look at what the GG's had in their base.

"Whoaaa, this place is beyond cool!" Clutch admired.

Soda was looking around too, and he was the only one who was alerted by the presence of a kennel, and two dishes. One with dog food, and one with water.

"Whoa, Clutch man. We better get going now."

"Are you kidding? We just got here! Don't get all cold feet on me now dude."

At the moment they both looked at the window, Roboy appeared. There was a split second of stunned silence before Roboy began shouting, "INTRUDERS! INTRUDERS! GET OUT BOTH OF YOU!"

"They've got a robot!?" Soda exclaimed.

Clutch broke into a run toward Roboy and tackled Roboy to the ground, the two wrestled on the ground.

"Clutch!" Soda shouted and jumped out of the window. He only had a split second to watch the battle.

"Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!"

He looked and saw Potts bolting at him full speed, "Whoa!" He was just about to skate away when Clutch flew into the fray and dove onto Potts with a box, closing the canine inside. The dog began barking and growling inside.

"Clutch are you crazy!?" Soda freaked out.

"I shut that robot off!" Clutch replied frantically, "Let's scram!" He picked up the box.

"You aren't gonna take that dog with us are you!?"

"We'll give him back." Clutch teased, "We're just gonna have a little fun!"

Soda was visibly concerned, and Clutch assured, "It can breathe okay? There's little holes in this box now let's go!" He took off skating.

"Clutch wait for me man!" Soda took off after him, "Ugh… this is so messed up… Hey I thought we weren't gonna cause any trouble!"


"Super bass outer space and IN YO FACE BABY! Jet Set Radio!" DJ Professor K broadcast, swinging his arms enthusiastically to get in the right mindset, "We're kickin' it live, even in the furthest reaches of the galaxy! And to all you aliens out there listening, I KNOW you plannin' to invade us! Whenever you're ready, just bring it on suckas!"

He popped his arms, "Turns out that the 'Yoyo' that supposedly betrayed the GG's was nothin' but a Noise Tank in disguise! Listen to this now! The Noise Tanks were cyborgs created by Rokkaku. They kidnapped Yoyo and built a fake one to try to destroy the GG's. Word is, since the Rokkaku police couldn't take care of the Rudies on their own, Rokkaku has sent in the Golden Rhinos, their own little secret special forces group, to tear up the streets!"

He paused before continuing, "The Golden Rhinos are a group of highly-trained assassins brought together by Rokkaku Gouji himself. Onishima and Hayashi have been kicked out of the police organization. Heh, they've gotta be freaking out by now! Especially Hayashi." He shook his head and whistled in amazement.

"All of the Noise Tanks have been destroyed, they're completely wiped out. Now, the gangs that the GG's faced in the Death Ball game, are now after the GG's. The hottest gang is certainly in the hot seat now! Hahaha! Also, where in the world can the real Yoyo be!?"


The GG's were headed back to the garage when they heard that broadcast.

Cube sighed, "Ugh… I was hoping I would never have to hear about the Golden Rhinos again! I hear that name and bad memories pop up!" She lowered her head, then she thought of Coin, "But… I'll be brave."

Combo skated closer to her.

"I still feel bad though, if I had just told Coin to wait for us he'd still be here…"

"Cube we had no idea." Combo comforted, "It was nobody's fault. Anyway, we have a chance at redemption, right? We're friends again now."

"Of course." She smiled a smile that quickly faded, "Hey Combo?"

"Hm?"

Cube kept herself from sobbing and quietly said, "I'm so sorry… about why we split up, and about what happened in the sewer…"

"Don't worry Cube." Combo consoled, "It's all in the past. Let's look toward the future."

She giggled softly, "Right. I know, it's just…"

"It's okay, I understand. Also, I'm really glad you helped us, you didn't have to do that."

"Of course I did! I couldn't just… you know."

"I know."

The GG's continued skating to their destination. Rhyth skated with that perpetual small smile she had most of the time, she felt joyful knowing that she was right about Yoyo. At the same time worried. She took a deep breath, "Oh please… let Yoyo be safe…"

Someone patted her on the shoulder, "Hey Rhyth." It was Gum.

"O-Oh, hi Gum. What's up?" She asked.

"Um… hey listen Rhyth…" She cleared her throat, "You were right about Yoyo all along. He didn't betray us. I'm sorry about what I said back there."

Rhyth was puzzled, until she remembered their argument. Nonetheless, she reassured Gum, "It's okay Gum. I understand why you would… say what you said."

"I'm thinking about it now, and maybe we should've had more faith in him… He's our friend."

"It was a clever ploy on the part of the Noise Tanks. They really deceived us. You don't have to feel guilty, none of us have to."

"I get it, but this had got me thinking a lot about myself. I guess the truth is, I've still got some old wounds that hurt." Gum admitted sadly, "People I trust letting me down has been such common theme in my life. When I thought Yoyo betrayed us, I just snapped. I was quick to think that he was just another person who let me down. I should've had more faith in him like how you did."

Rhyth smiled understandably, "Gum, you're the strongest woman I know. You've been through so much and yet you just keep going."

Gum chuckled, "I don't know Rhyth. You had faith in Yoyo in the face of the most convincing and painful lie. Plus, you've been through some crap yourself."

"Yeah, I have. I still think you've had it worse."

The two girls laughed, then stopped skating for a short while to exchange a hug. Because of this, they fell behind the group.

"Okay, let's catch up before they leave us behind. Heheh…" Gum amusingly stated.

"Yeah, we should." Rhyth chuckled.

"Whew… we're fixing to have one hell of a night ahead of us."

"You can say that again!"

"No, I think once is sufficient."

Corn spoke, "Everything is quiet for now, of course that could change really quickly."

"At least the Noise Tanks aren't gonna be bothering us anymore." Beat cited.

"True, but we've still got more to worry about."

"Yeah, like who was that guy with that huge claw?" Boogie inquired.

"Whoever he was, he seemed like bad news." Garam input.

Jazz cautioned, "We might be seeing him soon."

"I don't know, but we've got to stay on guard." Corn warned, "We all know the Golden Rhinos are on the way and I think it's best we try to avoid them if we can for now. We gotta get Yoyo and learn what their plan is before we strike. As we all know these guys are very dangerous, not like the Rokkaku Police we've faced before."

The GG's were passing through the silent Dogenzaka Hill when something caught out of the corner of Gum's eye.

"Hey, check it out!"

Everyone stopped.

"Gum?" Corn queried.

On the wall was a small piece of graffiti artwork, depicting a rhino and odd symbols.

"Oh no, it's them… They've been here." Cube dreaded.

Jazz expressed disgust, "Ugh, that is the ugliest graffiti I've ever seen!"

Combo stared at the work, "The Golden Rhinos... that's the exact same symbol that Cube, Coin, and I saw in Grind City! They're already here…"

"Son of a…" Corn glanced around hastily, "Okay everyone, let's hurry back to the hideout now! Quickly!"

The GG's took off in a frantic pace.

No more than a minute after they disappeared did a black car slowly drive by, the driver and passengers peering out the windows. The driver spoke into a radio, "This is the Golden Rhinos in the Dogenzaka Hill area. The vicinity appears to be clear."

The communication center responded, "Keep watch, those rats are around somewhere. Remember, you are authorized to use any force necessary to take them down."

Fortunately, the GG's made it back to the safety of their hideout without being seen.

"Okay, that was a bit freaky." Beat commented, "I can't believe those guys got here already."

"Looks like the jig is up. Rokkaku Goji really is out for us." Garam noted.

Corn stepped into their hideout further, he had a feeling that something was strange. There was no music playing, leaving an eerie silence.

"Hey everyone!"

The rest of the GG's caught up.

"Does something seem… a little off around here?"

The GG's collectively looked around, curious and confused.

"It's a little too quiet…" Combo spoke, "Ugh… I don't like this…"

Cube held onto his arm tightly.

"Huh…" Gum skated forward, "Roboy! Hey Roboy, we're back!"

No answer, except the sound of the wind and the faint noise of an airplane in the distance.

"Roboy!" Corn called, again receiving no answer.

"Okay, now I'm really starting to freak out." Garam admitted.

"Maybe he's just trying to play a joke on us." Boogie reasoned.

The GG's slowly rolled toward the warehouse, keeping fully aware of their surroundings. Corn peered around the corner where the window was, and there was Roboy on the ground.

"Roboy!" He shouted.

Gum rushed to Corn's side and gasped, "Oh no Roboy! Guys, get over here!"

All the GG's hurried to their downed robot friend, anxious.

"Whoa, Roboy! What happened?" exclaimed Beat.

"Is he okay!?" Rhyth worried.

"He doesn't look like he's damaged." Corn informed, "I mean he's pretty indestructible but…"

"He's deactivated." Gum observed, "How did this happen?"

"Let's find out." Corn re-activated him.

A few seconds passed of wiring sounds and beeping. Roboy's eyes blinked rapidly before settling down and remaining on. He lit up hastily, "Whoa, what happened? Where are they!?" His head darted in all directions.

"Whoa, whoa! Calm down Roboy it's us!" Corn calmed him, "We're back."

Roboy froze for a second, "You guys! Oh no… I think we'd better step it up real good soon!"

"Roboy, what happened? How did you get turned off? What's the last thing you remember?" Corn interrogated him.

"You talk so fast… huh… well…" He hesitated before snapping, "Oh that's right! INTRUDERS! THERE WERE INTRUDERS!"

"What!?" The GG's shouted together.

"Somebody busted in!?" Garam shouted.

"Are they still here?" Gum questioned. Several of the GG's began scanning the area.

Corn raised a hand to calm everyone, "Quiet everyone! Roboy, how many were there? What can you recall?"

"Um… let's see… there were two of them. Rudies just like you guys. One was wearing red the other was dark green…"

Before he could continue, a piercing scream shook the entire base making everyone jump. Rhyth rushed out of the base, alarmed.

"Rhyth, what's the problem!?" Corn asked.

"Potts is gone! I can't find him anywhere!"

"Oh no…" Beat dreaded.

Boogie came out of the warehouse behind her, "She's right! I looked all over!"

Upset, Rhyth folded her hands, "Whoever broke into the base, they must have taken Potts! What are they going to do with him?"

"This is a dognapping!" Garam concluded.

"We've got to catch those jerks!" Beat stated, "Only thing, where are we going to find them?"

Roboy explained, "Before I went completely out… I heard them saying something about the Skyscraper District and Pharaoh Park."

Immediately Corn jumped to action, "Let's hurry GG's! If we're fast enough we could catch up! Roboy, are you feeling all right?"

Roboy moved his limbs around, "I'll be fine. Not to brag but I am super durable. It'll take a lot more than that to wear me down!"

"I figured. That's great. All right GG's, move out!"
