Chapter 5
Future site of Eggkaku Expo
"Where am I?" Tom said.
He then saw someone who made him freeze.
"A-A-Anna!?"
The girl looked at him and said, "Huh? Do you know me? Your one of the FF's right? Then tell
this fool," she points at the Noise Tank, "that they've got the wrong girl! He thinks I'm
one of you guys! So, they dragged me out here and looked what's happend to me!!!!"
Tom questioned the Noise Tank as to what they'll be doing.
"You two," he said, "will be facing off in a round of Death Ball. Here are the rules:
2 teams fight for the control of the ball. If you can make it through a full lap without dropping
the ball or getting taken from you, you win. You can pass the ball to your team member during
that lap....That is all. A few elite members of our orginization will join you as well. Do
not beg us for mercy. Remorse was not a program we were programmed for. You have no choice. You
must fight."
"What?! What do they think they're..... I guess it's no use talking to them. So how good do you
throw? We don't even know each other, so I guess we should try to get some teamwork goin'."
Tom and Anna began practicing throws and team work plays.
"So, you got the gist of it? No matter what, we have to win. But you need more than just
confidence."
"Time to get this over with. Yo, we're ready." Tom said to the Noise Tank.
DJProf.K:"Hold your seats kiddies, everyones favorite game, DEATH BALL, I'm your live update manager.
First up the Doom Riders vs. FF's. The Doom Riders used to be called 'Hell's Bikers', but it seems
they got their skulls pulverized in a tangle with the Eggkaku Police. No, seriously. So now they've
had their skulls replaced with helmets."
"Yes, got the ball." Tom said, creating a commanding lead.
Pulling ahead they won.
"The FF's win, Doom Riders knocked out cold. Can't collect insurance in hell, boys."
Noise Tanks:"Losers will pledge loyalty to Lord Ryan and be our slaves forever."
DJPK:"Round two Immortals vs. the FF's, back for more. Damn those Immortals are ugly, so ugly
not even their mothers could love them."
"What is wrong, mortals?" one of the Immortals said.
"We are not called Immortals for nothing."
"Death is watching you, beware."
"Talk is cheap, Immortals. You may be Immortal, but I'm the Ultimate and I won't let you beat me."
Tom said, doing a boost dash to greatly increase his lead.
Once again the FF's won.
DJProf.K:"Yeah, The FF's win! Those dried up punks got no guts, no brains either, no what I'm sayin'?
Round Tres, Love Shockers vs. the FF's again. FF's are starting to slow down.
Preaching a message of Love and Death, its those lovable pshycopaths the Love Shockers. Who's gonna' bear the
brunt of their message today."
"Hahaha, you have the honor of being beaten by us, the Love Shockers."
"Why not save yourself the trouble and roll over now?"
"DIE!" The Love Shockers shouted.
"Never, not while my heart shows me the true way." Tom said.
"Girls don't like clingy guys, you know." said one of the Love Shockers.
DJPK:"Oh no its the Eggkaku police. They messin' everthing up. I hope the Rudies don't lose it and run away."
"Hahaha. Someone was kind enough to tell us where you were. Don't think it'll be like last time.
I don't want any funny business. Just except your fate and die, you guinea pigs!!! Besides it's kinda late." Hayashi said.
"Four tags to get on this one. Seems easy enough." Tom said.
He got the two on the side and the sensor on top, but couldn't find the last one.
"Where is it?"
Just then the terror drone stood up on its legs and shoot waves of energy from its underside.
"That's it. That's the last sensor." Tom said, as he dashed under the legs and sprayed that sensor with a
river of paint.
"Guinea pigs? What was I thinking?" Hayashi said.
DJProf.K:"The station that'll teach you what your parents and teachers are afraid to,
now class, open your books to pg 32. Ryan's gutsy plans were interupted by the Eggkaku police.
Has that backstabbing traitor tried to take the FF's down from the inside. The Noise Tanks
must've fried some circuits, cause they're rioting in the streets. Can anyone stop them?"
------------------------
Chapter 6
Garage
"Okay, we need to stop them from rioting. Any ideas?" Sonic said.
"Well, we could just smash 'em to pieces." Metal suggested.
"Maybe we could short circuit them somehow." Tails added.
"Hmmm, I say we split up and all cover parts of the city. If we each clear an area, we
should be able to take care of this mess." Sally said.
"Sounds good to me, let's go."
-----------------------
Dogenzaka Hill/Shibuya Terminal/99th Street/......
The members of the FF's each took a part of the city and began the systematic destruction
of the Noise Tanks.....However their valiant plans soon showed the flaw.
There were just too damn many Noise Tanks. They needed some way to stop them all at once.
Tails came up with a solution.
"We can do this one of two ways. We can either create an EMP to shortcircit them all or we
can create a special computer virus that will jump from Noise Tank to Noise Tank."
"I say we go with the EMP thing." Metal said, "I'm sheilded from those and it's alot more
contained than a virus."
"I'm with Metal on that one." Sonic said.
"As am I." Sally said.
"Okay, then. We'll create an EMP, but how?"
"That's the question isn't it." Zoel said.
"I wonder if I.....yes I do. I think we can use Nicole to create one." Sally said.
"Are you sure, Sal? It might fry Nicole." Sonic said.
"It's our only choice, right?"
"She's right, Sonic." Tom said, "It's our only chance."
"Okay, let's do it to it."
Sally hooked Nicloe up to the telephone wires.
"Now, we only get one shot. We need to overload the generator on this. Doing so will send out
the EMP. Ready, Nicole?"
"Yes, Sally." responded her computer.
"I'm ready to, Sal." Sonic said as he started to run in place on a treadmill.
"Pretty ingenious." Tom said.
"Yeah, using Sonic's speed to overload the generator." Zoel said.
As Sonic ran faster, the generator became more overloaded.
Finally, it went critical and released an EMP.
"Nicole, show scan of Noise Tank activity."
Nicole displayed a map of Tokyo-to.
The dots representing the Noise Tanks were disappearing in relation to the EMP.
"Yes, it worked." Sonic shouted.
DJProf.K:"Someone's battlin' Ryan over in the Skyscraper District. Get over there now!"
------------------------
Skyscraper District
"I don't see him." Tom said.
Just then he saw a Poison Jam member. He looked pretty beat up.
"What happend?" Tom asked.
"You must be a part of the FF's....Your friend, Ryan, was heading toward Sky Dinosaurian Square.
What is that guy....."
DJProf.K:"The roars of ancient dragons. According to Poison Jam's info, Ryan is biding his time here."
"Time to kick some booty and beat that traitor Ryan."
Just then Cube came outta nowhere.
"He's a fake!" she shouted, running into Ryan.
Ryan then turned out to be a Noise Tank in disguise.
"Peace will never be on the streets. Chaos is its true nature."
"Well, that was unexpected. I should've known that some nasty clone was behind this." Tom said.
Tom began to chase after all three Noise Tanks.
"Time for Tagger's Tag!" Tom shouted, skating after them.
The three Noise Tanks jumped on the roller coaster railing and began to grind along it.
"Not so fast!" Tom said, following right behind.
As they entered a loop, Tom sprayed the back of the first and he fell all the way down off the coaster.
"One down."
Next, as they went through a tight spiral, Tom layed down another tag, knocking out
that Noise Tank.
"Last one, nowhere to hide."
Tom nailed the last one and all three threw their heads back in shame.
From out of nowhere, a cybernetic arm knocked off the heads of the two lackey Noise Tanks and then the Ryan impersonater.
"Why does it matter to you punks what happens on the streets, argh, never ....bzzzt..mind, be warned, we may be gone, but
the syndicate continues on. You best be sleeping with one eye open from now on...."
With those words the Noise Tanks head exploded......
Chapter 7
-------------------------
Back at the Garage
DJProf.K:"We're kickin it live and reaching the farthest galaxies. I know that all you aliens are planning to invade,
so bring it. Turns out Ryan's real identity was that of a Noise Tank. Even more interesting is that the Noise Tanks
were cyborgs created by Eggkaku Gouji. I guess their plan was to kidnap Ryan, replace him with this fake, and stop the
FF's from the inside. Eggkaku has called on the Golden Rhinos to take care of the FF's where the Noise
Tanks failed. These deadly assasins are causing panic on the streets and are highly dangerours. More important, they
are Eggkaku's personal Assasins, Eggkaku just happening to be Tokyo's current mayor.
Needless to say, Hayashi has been kicked out of his useless police force and you can bet he's pissed.
Now that the Noise Tanks are gone, the Doom Riders, implanted with the Noise Tank brainwashing, are after the FF's
territory. Defeat the Golden Rhinos and find the real Ryan!"
"I can't beleive that was a fake." Tom said.
"Yeah, the thing is, when did the switch happen?" Sonic asked.
"More importantly, where is the real Ryan?" Callie said.
As they tried to form some plan, they were interupted by a human with spiky, red hair.
"You fools must be lookin' for that dude, Ryan. Tell ya what I know where he is and all you have to do
is give me 8 graffiti souls. Let's see how far you're willing to go for your comrades. Oh, and my name's Clutch."
"Hmm, do you think he's telling the truth?" Tails asked.
"I'm not sure, but he's the closest thing we have to a lead right now." Shadow answered.
"Then it's agreed," Sally said, "we'll give him the Graffiti Souls."
Sonic skated over to Clutch.
"Here you are man, we held up our part. So tell us, where's Ryan?"
"I'll take these.......see ya around, suckas!"
".....Huh?....!...Wait come back here!" Sonic shouted, tripping over his own skate.
Shadow skated to see what had happend.
"Sonic, where's Clutch?"
"...ugh...He took the Graffiti Souls and ran off."
"What?! Man, you've got to be shitin' me."
"Nope, we need to catch him, I think he ran off to either Kibogoaka Hill or Chuo Street."
Shadow filled the others in on what happend.
"I'll head to Kibogoaka Hill." Zoel said.
"And I'll had to Chuo Street." Shadow said.
----------------------
Garage to Kibogoaka Hill
Zoel made his way to Eggkaku-Dai Heights and entered the sewer system.
"Let's see, Kibogoaka Hill is the Second Pipe on the left."
Zoel jumped in the pipe and skated through it.
About ten minutes later, he finally saw sunshine.
"Ah, made it......Oh no......" he said, seeing ten machine gun toting Golden Rhinos in front of him.
"Damn, it's a setup." Zoel said plowing through five of them and spraying their backs.
With just a little strength left, Zoel managed to beat the last five Golden Rhinos.
"..Ugh, ouch.....Damn that Clutch....hope Shadow has better luck.
------------------------
Chuo Street
"Where could that little SoB be at?" Shadow said to himself.
As if by luck, Shadow saw some spiky red hair moving over by the music bird statue.
"Gotcha!" Shadow said skating towards him.
Clutch was caught a little off guard.
"...Uh...I didn't steal nothin'! I just took out a little loan. Oh, and they got your friend
over in the fortified residential zone. I swear, man! Hey lemme help you out! I won't try nuthin' funny, I swear!"
"Sure, why not? Just don't pull any crap or you'll pay." Shadow said.
-----------Clutch has joined you------------------
"Now, time to head back and tell the others." Shadow said skating back towards the garage.
------------------------
Garage
"....What?! He's in the fortified residential zone?"
"Yep, Sonic, that's what Clutch told me...right?" Shadow said, looking at Clutch.
"Like I said, that's right. But that place is deep in the ghetto, man."
"Yeah, and it could be the fake one, again." Tails said.
"I think Tom should go." Zoel said.
"Huh? Why me?" Tom asked.
"Because it should be second nature for a white homie such as yourself. Just act like you did back on Earth, and
you should be fine."
"....you Son of a......Oh, well....it's true....This one's mine guy's, they're going down this time."
"Are you sure?" Sally asked.
"Yep, this is my mission. I will succeed and I will be back." Tom said skating off.....
-----------------------
The Fortified Residential Zone
"Well, here I am....what's that?" Tom asked.
Tape Recorder Voice:"Soon, when timer runs out, this building will go kaboom. Fools, you cling to the sad notions of
comradery and friendship. Because of this, your pitiable little lives will end in a grand display
of fireworks."
DJProfK:"Hurry and spray the blue device first to stop the timer."
"Oh, Shit! Just great. Well, time to save the ghetto."
Tom spotted the first two on top of some platform.
He grinded up the ladders to reach them and sprayed them, deactivating their timers.
On the floor, he sprayed four more while grinding between them on pipes.
The last two were up some stairways.
"How do I get up there?" Tom asked.
Then he got his answer.
Tom grinded the rails across, and the ladders up till he reached the last two.
"(sigh), timer's been deactivated."
Tape Recorder Voice:"If you are hearing this, it means you have somehow managed to deactivate all the blue devices. How
Interesting. Let's see how well you fare a second time."
DJProfK:"Well it seems you've stopped the blue devices. Now find the red ones and disarm it."
"What now? Time to disarm this sucka."
Tom skated to the higher levels in order to reach the second
set of devices.
"Ah damn, this is going to be tough." Tom said, seeing how all the devices were
spread out all over the place.
Needless to say, Tom fell many times trying to get them, as he didn't have enough energy to use his Hands of Light.
"...ugh, finally, I can save Ryan."
DJProfK:"You stopped the timer. Whew, man oh man, I was sweating bricks over here. Now go save Ryan."
Tom skated up and through the last level of apartments to the cage where
Ryan was being held.
Tom jumped on rooftops, fell through a few, and finally arrived at the top floor.
Tom just looked at me.
Then ProfK, butted in, as a couple of harriers came crashing through the ceiling.
DJProfK:"Heads up, Golden Rhinos incoming! Guess they didn't like you messing with the timers. Take 'em all out!"
"What?! I don't need this." Tom said, starting to glow.
"Oh, Shit. I think I know what's going to happen." I said, taking what little cover I could.
"Now, you'll feel my power." Tom shouted, doing his hand-rave move.
"HANDS OF LIGHT!!!" Tom shouted, unleashing a huge beam of destructive energy,
turning those three harriers, and the Golden Rhinos inside, into dust.
I jumped out of my now broken prison.
"Hey, Tom, who's the man?"
"I'm the man!" Tom said, as we did our secret handshake.
DJProfK: "Jet Set Radio!! Whether your chillin' on your couch or coffin, tune us in to keep ya company. The FF's rescued the real
Ryan.....I think! He had heard a rumor about the Golden Rhino's and had gone off to try and stop them on his own, but
ended up getting caught. Now I'm on the top of their lists for giving you the lowdown. This must be the first time I've been on
top since the burping contest in first grade. Also, someone who looks alot like Tom is going around spraying some really funky
graffiti. Is this what'll happen in the streets? Go stop him!"
------------------
Chapter 8
------------------
FF's Garage
"Ah, good to be back." I said.
"Yeah, your just lucky I saved your sorry ass." Tom said.
The others showed mixed feeling towards my foolish decision to end this quickly.
"Look, I got you into this mess, I was just trying to get us out of it as fast as
possible." I told them, "Hey, why is there some paint cans lying around and what's wrong with Sonic? And why do you guys look a little dazed?"
"Uhhhhh, never you mind....no need to worry about that...." Tom said stuttering.
"Besides," Tails said, getting back on topic, "Ryan, that's why we're here. To help you; all of us are a team. And will do it all together." Tails said.
"Your right, so let's finish this and head home."
"I'm a bit rusty, but this next mission is mine." I said.
"No doubt this is the real Ryan, this one's too headstrong and impatient." Sonic said.
"Ha ha, real funny. So any idea where the next distrubance is coming from?" I asked.
"Well, according to information that we received from DJ Prof. K, The Golden Rhinos
are focused on two areas right now...." Sally said.
"And those would be?" Shadow asked.
"Chou Street and Highway Zero."
"I'm taking Highway Zero." I said.
"Then I'm taking Chou Street." Tom offered.
"No way man, you've done way to much, saving Ryan. I'll handle it." Shadow said.
"I'd fight over it, but your right, I don't have much energy left and would more than
likely just die again."
"Again?"
"Never mind, just hurry up so we can head back to Mobius."
"Right." Shadow said, speeding off to Chou Street.
--------------------------
Chou Street
DJProfK: "Ain't no superheroes to save the day in the world of the streets. It's all
up to you to take the role on for yourself. Chou Street has been layed to waste and Highway Zero is a sea of flames. Stop them Golden Rhinos once and for all."
"Right. Time to go to work." Shadow said, skated onto Chou Street.
Suddenly, a golden armed assasin jumped in front or rather shot his arm out and
swung over to Shadow.
"You, of all places, you had to be here."
"Ah, Project Shadow, how nice to see you again." said the figure.
"I can't say the same for you, Commander." Shadow said, growling while he spoke, "How
did someone like you end up back in the land of the living?"
"It's a long story, (wavy lines, flashback sequence)....After your mangy human friend
took me along with him when our GUNDAMS exploded, I found myself between dimensions. I
guess you could say I was in a sorta of hell. Let's just say that making the right deal with the right guy can get you anywhere."
"So you made a deal with the devil, just to come back and fight us."
"Oh no, I came back. Fighting you will be an extra bonus. You should be so lucky as to
die by these wonderful cybernetic hands."
"Yeah right, let's fight. En guarde!" Shadow said charging at him.
The Commander shot his arm into a building and pulled himself out of the way.
"Damn, he's quicker than before, I need to get close enought to spray his back, but
with that kind of speed, how can I knock him down?"
"What's the matter, Project Shadow? If your the Ultimate Lifeform, you should be able
to dodge this." the Commander said, firing his other arm out towards Shadow.
"That's it." Shadow thought, "I'll grind up his arm to get him, just like I grinded the Prototypes support system rails."
With that Shadow jumped on the arm and grinded towards the Commander.
"What the? Hey, get off. No free rides."
Too late, he was met with one of Shadow's rollerblades to the face and fell down.
"Your time's up, it's painting time."
Shadow used his mad painting skillz to put the Commander out for good.
"No, not again. We will meet again..mark....my.....w.w.words..." he said, as a Golden Rhino jet fired four missles at him, which picked him up, and exploded, taking the
Commander with them.
"Yes, we may meet again, but....I'll just kick your sorry ass again. Hey, Ryan, can you hear me?"
--------------------------
Highway Zero
"Yeah, Shadow. I read you loud and clear. What's up?" I said/asked.
"Well, I defeated a "friend of ours" from the past, so Chou Street is now safe."
"A friend?"
"I'll explain later. Just finish off the Golden Rhino leader there so we can go home."
"Gotcha." I said, closing the channel. "I wonder what he meant by a "friend"? Oh well,
time to finish this.
I skated into Highway Zero and the traffic was gone. It was empty, like a ghost town.
"Bizarre, there's no one here." I said, jumping down to the street below.
"Whoa!" I said, jumping to the side, nearly becoming fried by some psycho chick with
a flame thrower.
"And how shall we cook this one, well done, Oh... I know, Deep-Fried!" she cackled.
I sensed a disturbance, something was up with this person, like she was possesed or something.
"Oh well, you want a fight, you've got it."
I figured that if I sprayed the tank on her flamethrower, I could set off a chain reaction, that would cause her flamethrower to explode.
However she was not going to make this easy.
She shot flames all over the place and turned me into a human fireball.
"Ouch, hot!" I said, sounding like a complete moron.
However I soon gained the upper hand and her tank exploded, engulfing her in flames,
which shot up and knocked down a billboard, crushing her.
Before I turned around, I saw some kind of dark presence leave from where her
corpse was.
"That shadow, it must have been the distrubance I felt. I can't get it now, but what
was it and where did it come from?"
Just then DJ Prof. K opened up a channel.....
DJ ProfK: "From the direction of the skyscraper district, ji--ji--ji....
Huh? Who the hell are you? Get out! Hey don't Touch that!"
"Sounds like Prof. Knux is in trouble." I shouted heading towards the Skyscraper district.
-------------------------
Skyscraper District
"Look, guys. Something's happened to Knux, or rather Prof. K. I'm chechking it out.
I'll radio in if something big goes down."
I didn't like this but I had to do something, if Knux was killed, who knows what that
would do to this dimension reality.
I didn't have to look far for the source of trouble.
A helicopter was carrying DJ Prof. K towards the site of the Tokyo Rail Line.
And to make matters worse, Zero Tom, Tom's look-alike, decided to show up.
I skated over to the rooftop he was on and talked to him.
"Hey, what's going on?" I demanded.
"......." Was his reply.
He then skated off towards the site of the Tokyo Rail Line.
"Hey, come back here." I said, chasing after him.
-------------------------
Tokyo Rail Line
DJProfK:"Hey! The Golden Rhinos are here. I'll keep broadcasting as long as I can.
The Golden Rhinos have brought in some strange looking machine. What is that damn thing? Whatever it is, you've got to destroy it."
"This presents a problem." I said to myself.
I opened a channel and asked for Tails.
"Tails here, what's the prob?"
"Well, there's a maniac train speeding around the Tokyo Rail Line and I've got no clue
how to stop it."
"Well, does it have a weakness you can exploit?"
"I'll I see are two engines mounted on the back, divided into four section."
"Well, it seems to work on people, so spray the damn things engines and clog it up."
"It's seems so simple, but in theory it should work. Okay, wish me luck."
I started skating behind it and worked hard to keep up.
It deployed lines to electrify the tracks but I was to quick for it.
However, when it opened up and launched a rail car at me, I wasn't prepared for it.
"Ouch, shit, damn! PAIN!" I shouted, tumbling to the ground.
I soon caught up and after a long, painful, and drawn out battle,
the terrifrying train exploded in a huge fireball.
---------------------
Shibuyat Terminal
Eggkaku, in his strange tower thing, made his speech:
"People of Tokyo, of the world, konichiwai, and good evening.
This is DJ Big Gouji.
Eggkaku Bonzai Radio.
To start off the night, although it is behind, the Eggkaku Expo starts today.
Now I will show you the true meaning of art.
Oh, I love beauty.
The name of this tower of ultimte beauty is blah-blah-blah, it's name is not important.
What you must know is that this tower plays the music of the future of Tokyo and the
world.
There is no need to resist.
Hurry to the Shibuya Terminal.
Hurry! Hurry! Isogeeee!"
---------------------
FF's Garage
"Man, I almost thought we had won." I said.
"I can't beleive it." Sonic said.
"Well, what are we going to do?" Shadow asked.
"I know." Tom said, "I'm going to face him, and defeat him."
"Are you sure?" Zoel asked.
"Yes, I must face my destiny." Tom said, skating solemnly off to face Eggkaku.
"Good Luck, my friend!" I shouted.
---------------------
Shibuya Terminal
Tom skated along and jumped down to face Eggkaku.
Eggkaku broke into another speech.
"Ladies and gentleman. Thank you for gathering here. However this tower is not finished.
That is why I need ALL of you.
With you voices, we can complete this tower of Ultimate beauty.
Wipe the smiles of your faces. Show me your inner demons.
HA HA HA! That's better. This is the art of Despair!
Abandon your hopes and throw away those miserable smiles.
And now, here to guide you are my children, Zero Tom!
And I, DJ Big Gouji, will provide the accompinament.
Aiieeee!"
"Great, two look-alikes to deal with, oh well, let's do it." Tom said, skating after
the Zero Tom's.
As Tom chased the two Zero's Gouji was talking smack.
"You think I'm crazy, the way I see it your the one's who are crazy."
"We see things from different perspectives, but in the end....he who speaks the loudest is right?...RIGHT!"
"WRONG!" Tom shouted, tagging the first Zero down.
Tom took his, but he finally beat the second one.
The sky returned to normal and so did Prof K.
DJ Prof.K:"Yeeeeaaaaahhhhhhh bbbbooooyyyyy! We're kickin' it liiivvvveee!
Welcom to the new Jet Set Radio. Hold it, Hold it....Wait a minute...I think I'm gonna
call it Jet Set Radio Future...yeah...and when I say future I don't mean that stuff
that Nostradamus wrote. The future is one big blank slate, baby. You decide what goes
on in it!"
"Do not interfere with my masterpiece. Perhaps you would like to help with it?"
Eggkaku said, adding his two cents, while sucking Tom into the tower.
----------------------
???????????
"Bwa ha ha ha. All of you, heed my words. Mmmy name is Rocker Eggkaku Gouji, I hold
the key to the future of mankind!
Hahaha, the women and children, the world belongs to me." said Eggkaku, before he was
engulfed in purple light and transformed into this huge robot type thing.
"Where am I?" Tom said. "I'm can't signal the others and I sense an evil presence."
Tom turned around just in time to see shadow creatures coming at him.
"Could these be the work of Darc?" Tom thought as he ripped through them.
"Let's see, the only way up is to grind strategically on the pieces of railing and such that made there way in here."
Tom took the chance and grinded, jumped, spun, wallrided, and so on till he reached the top.
There were only two words to describe Eggkaku's new state.
UG-LY!
"Time to take you out, and go home!" Tom said, charging the newly dubbed A.KU.MU.
Tom slammed him to the ground and cracked his arm.
Tom sprayed like a wild man, tagging him as fast as possible.
However, A.KU.MU got up and knocked Tom to the edge.
"Ahhh!" Tom said, holding on by one hand.
"So-o, time to die!" A.KU.MU said charging Tom.
"No, it can't end like this. I can't let it end like this." Tom said, his eyes glowing.
Tom unleashed his power and went Super.
A.KU.MU. stopped in his tracks. "What power is this?" he asked.
"That of the Ultimate Lifeform. CHAOS CONTROL!" Tom shouted, ripping straight through
A.KU.MU.
A.KU.MU. exploded into energy and Edd
"There, it's finally over. However, we may have won this battle, but the war still rages on."
The dimension's went back to normal as Tom headed back towards the garage.
-----------------------
EPILOGUE
The tower of evil had been destroyed.
"Grahaaaa, See Ya Later! Gaaaag!" Eggkaku said, speaking his apparent last.
DJ Prof.K said it best:
"A man's desire crumbled, the tower is no more than steel and glass.
This paper we have called money, that can corrupt men.
The prescence of people like Gouji make you wonder, was this just one man's desire,
or was it perhaps a symbol of the darkness living in our world.
This suppression was no match for a person's want of freedom of life.
The more you push people, and take away their freedom, the more they will
push back.
Those who want freedom will fight tooth and nail for it.
The reminders of this war will be etched on the wall, as well as in our memories.
So once again the radio will play static and worn out tunes.
Heh....the city is normal, alright.
But one can't help but wonder....what will happen tommorow?"
As for us:
In the end Eggkaku disappeared, we didn't need reminders that we saved the city, we
did it to express our freedom.
"Hey, turn that radio up!" Sonic shouted.
As the music played and the radio blared, a feeling came over us. We had once again
done what we always do, upheld freedom and fought for what we beleived in.
As we listened to the music, we soon began to return to our dimension on Mobius.
One by one we disappeared.
I was the last to go. I'll probably never forget this world.
But one thing is for sure, they'll never forget about me or my friends.
---------THE END for us, but on the streets there is no such thing as THE END---------

Chapter 5
Future site of Eggkaku Expo
"Where am I?" Tom said.
He then saw someone who made him freeze.
"A-A-Anna!?"
The girl looked at him and said, "Huh? Do you know me? Your one of the FF's right? Then tell
this fool," she points at the Noise Tank, "that they've got the wrong girl! He thinks I'm
one of you guys! So, they dragged me out here and looked what's happend to me!!!!"
Tom questioned the Noise Tank as to what they'll be doing.
"You two," he said, "will be facing off in a round of Death Ball. Here are the rules:
2 teams fight for the control of the ball. If you can make it through a full lap without dropping
the ball or getting taken from you, you win. You can pass the ball to your team member during
that lap....That is all. A few elite members of our orginization will join you as well. Do
not beg us for mercy. Remorse was not a program we were programmed for. You have no choice. You
must fight."
"What?! What do they think they're..... I guess it's no use talking to them. So how good do you
throw? We don't even know each other, so I guess we should try to get some teamwork goin'."
Tom and Anna began practicing throws and team work plays.
"So, you got the gist of it? No matter what, we have to win. But you need more than just
confidence."
"Time to get this over with. Yo, we're ready." Tom said to the Noise Tank.
DJProf.K:"Hold your seats kiddies, everyones favorite game, DEATH BALL, I'm your live update manager.
First up the Doom Riders vs. FF's. The Doom Riders used to be called 'Hell's Bikers', but it seems
they got their skulls pulverized in a tangle with the Eggkaku Police. No, seriously. So now they've
had their skulls replaced with helmets."
"Yes, got the ball." Tom said, creating a commanding lead.
Pulling ahead they won.
"The FF's win, Doom Riders knocked out cold. Can't collect insurance in hell, boys."
Noise Tanks:"Losers will pledge loyalty to Lord Ryan and be our slaves forever."
DJPK:"Round two Immortals vs. the FF's, back for more. Damn those Immortals are ugly, so ugly
not even their mothers could love them."
"What is wrong, mortals?" one of the Immortals said.
"We are not called Immortals for nothing."
"Death is watching you, beware."
"Talk is cheap, Immortals. You may be Immortal, but I'm the Ultimate and I won't let you beat me."
Tom said, doing a boost dash to greatly increase his lead.
Once again the FF's won.
DJProf.K:"Yeah, The FF's win! Those dried up punks got no guts, no brains either, no what I'm sayin'?
Round Tres, Love Shockers vs. the FF's again. FF's are starting to slow down.
Preaching a message of Love and Death, its those lovable pshycopaths the Love Shockers. Who's gonna' bear the
brunt of their message today."
"Hahaha, you have the honor of being beaten by us, the Love Shockers."
"Why not save yourself the trouble and roll over now?"
"DIE!" The Love Shockers shouted.
"Never, not while my heart shows me the true way." Tom said.
"Girls don't like clingy guys, you know." said one of the Love Shockers.
DJPK:"Oh no its the Eggkaku police. They messin' everthing up. I hope the Rudies don't lose it and run away."
"Hahaha. Someone was kind enough to tell us where you were. Don't think it'll be like last time.
I don't want any funny business. Just except your fate and die, you guinea pigs!!! Besides it's kinda late." Hayashi said.
"Four tags to get on this one. Seems easy enough." Tom said.
He got the two on the side and the sensor on top, but couldn't find the last one.
"Where is it?"
Just then the terror drone stood up on its legs and shoot waves of energy from its underside.
"That's it. That's the last sensor." Tom said, as he dashed under the legs and sprayed that sensor with a
river of paint.
"Guinea pigs? What was I thinking?" Hayashi said.
DJProf.K:"The station that'll teach you what your parents and teachers are afraid to,
now class, open your books to pg 32. Ryan's gutsy plans were interupted by the Eggkaku police.
Has that backstabbing traitor tried to take the FF's down from the inside. The Noise Tanks
must've fried some circuits, cause they're rioting in the streets. Can anyone stop them?"
------------------------
Chapter 6
Garage
"Okay, we need to stop them from rioting. Any ideas?" Sonic said.
"Well, we could just smash 'em to pieces." Metal suggested.
"Maybe we could short circuit them somehow." Tails added.
"Hmmm, I say we split up and all cover parts of the city. If we each clear an area, we
should be able to take care of this mess." Sally said.
"Sounds good to me, let's go."
-----------------------
Dogenzaka Hill/Shibuya Terminal/99th Street/......
The members of the FF's each took a part of the city and began the systematic destruction
of the Noise Tanks.....However their valiant plans soon showed the flaw.
There were just too damn many Noise Tanks. They needed some way to stop them all at once.
Tails came up with a solution.
"We can do this one of two ways. We can either create an EMP to shortcircit them all or we
can create a special computer virus that will jump from Noise Tank to Noise Tank."
"I say we go with the EMP thing." Metal said, "I'm sheilded from those and it's alot more
contained than a virus."
"I'm with Metal on that one." Sonic said.
"As am I." Sally said.
"Okay, then. We'll create an EMP, but how?"
"That's the question isn't it." Zoel said.
"I wonder if I.....yes I do. I think we can use Nicole to create one." Sally said.
"Are you sure, Sal? It might fry Nicole." Sonic said.
"It's our only choice, right?"
"She's right, Sonic." Tom said, "It's our only chance."
"Okay, let's do it to it."
Sally hooked Nicloe up to the telephone wires.
"Now, we only get one shot. We need to overload the generator on this. Doing so will send out
the EMP. Ready, Nicole?"
"Yes, Sally." responded her computer.
"I'm ready to, Sal." Sonic said as he started to run in place on a treadmill.
"Pretty ingenious." Tom said.
"Yeah, using Sonic's speed to overload the generator." Zoel said.
As Sonic ran faster, the generator became more overloaded.
Finally, it went critical and released an EMP.
"Nicole, show scan of Noise Tank activity."
Nicole displayed a map of Tokyo-to.
The dots representing the Noise Tanks were disappearing in relation to the EMP.
"Yes, it worked." Sonic shouted.
DJProf.K:"Someone's battlin' Ryan over in the Skyscraper District. Get over there now!"
------------------------
Skyscraper District
"I don't see him." Tom said.
Just then he saw a Poison Jam member. He looked pretty beat up.
"What happend?" Tom asked.
"You must be a part of the FF's....Your friend, Ryan, was heading toward Sky Dinosaurian Square.
What is that guy....."
DJProf.K:"The roars of ancient dragons. According to Poison Jam's info, Ryan is biding his time here."
"Time to kick some booty and beat that traitor Ryan."
Just then Cube came outta nowhere.
"He's a fake!" she shouted, running into Ryan.
Ryan then turned out to be a Noise Tank in disguise.
"Peace will never be on the streets. Chaos is its true nature."
"Well, that was unexpected. I should've known that some nasty clone was behind this." Tom said.
Tom began to chase after all three Noise Tanks.
"Time for Tagger's Tag!" Tom shouted, skating after them.
The three Noise Tanks jumped on the roller coaster railing and began to grind along it.
"Not so fast!" Tom said, following right behind.
As they entered a loop, Tom sprayed the back of the first and he fell all the way down off the coaster.
"One down."
Next, as they went through a tight spiral, Tom layed down another tag, knocking out
that Noise Tank.
"Last one, nowhere to hide."
Tom nailed the last one and all three threw their heads back in shame.
From out of nowhere, a cybernetic arm knocked off the heads of the two lackey Noise Tanks and then the Ryan impersonater.
"Why does it matter to you punks what happens on the streets, argh, never ....bzzzt..mind, be warned, we may be gone, but
the syndicate continues on. You best be sleeping with one eye open from now on...."
With those words the Noise Tanks head exploded......
Chapter 7
-------------------------
Back at the Garage
DJProf.K:"We're kickin it live and reaching the farthest galaxies. I know that all you aliens are planning to invade,
so bring it. Turns out Ryan's real identity was that of a Noise Tank. Even more interesting is that the Noise Tanks
were cyborgs created by Eggkaku Gouji. I guess their plan was to kidnap Ryan, replace him with this fake, and stop the
FF's from the inside. Eggkaku has called on the Golden Rhinos to take care of the FF's where the Noise
Tanks failed. These deadly assasins are causing panic on the streets and are highly dangerours. More important, they
are Eggkaku's personal Assasins, Eggkaku just happening to be Tokyo's current mayor.
Needless to say, Hayashi has been kicked out of his useless police force and you can bet he's pissed.
Now that the Noise Tanks are gone, the Doom Riders, implanted with the Noise Tank brainwashing, are after the FF's
territory. Defeat the Golden Rhinos and find the real Ryan!"
"I can't beleive that was a fake." Tom said.
"Yeah, the thing is, when did the switch happen?" Sonic asked.
"More importantly, where is the real Ryan?" Callie said.
As they tried to form some plan, they were interupted by a human with spiky, red hair.
"You fools must be lookin' for that dude, Ryan. Tell ya what I know where he is and all you have to do
is give me 8 graffiti souls. Let's see how far you're willing to go for your comrades. Oh, and my name's Clutch."
"Hmm, do you think he's telling the truth?" Tails asked.
"I'm not sure, but he's the closest thing we have to a lead right now." Shadow answered.
"Then it's agreed," Sally said, "we'll give him the Graffiti Souls."
Sonic skated over to Clutch.
"Here you are man, we held up our part. So tell us, where's Ryan?"
"I'll take these.......see ya around, suckas!"
".....Huh?....!...Wait come back here!" Sonic shouted, tripping over his own skate.
Shadow skated to see what had happend.
"Sonic, where's Clutch?"
"...ugh...He took the Graffiti Souls and ran off."
"What?! Man, you've got to be shitin' me."
"Nope, we need to catch him, I think he ran off to either Kibogoaka Hill or Chuo Street."
Shadow filled the others in on what happend.
"I'll head to Kibogoaka Hill." Zoel said.
"And I'll had to Chuo Street." Shadow said.
----------------------
Garage to Kibogoaka Hill
Zoel made his way to Eggkaku-Dai Heights and entered the sewer system.
"Let's see, Kibogoaka Hill is the Second Pipe on the left."
Zoel jumped in the pipe and skated through it.
About ten minutes later, he finally saw sunshine.
"Ah, made it......Oh no......" he said, seeing ten machine gun toting Golden Rhinos in front of him.
"Damn, it's a setup." Zoel said plowing through five of them and spraying their backs.
With just a little strength left, Zoel managed to beat the last five Golden Rhinos.
"..Ugh, ouch.....Damn that Clutch....hope Shadow has better luck.
------------------------
Chuo Street
"Where could that little SoB be at?" Shadow said to himself.
As if by luck, Shadow saw some spiky red hair moving over by the music bird statue.
"Gotcha!" Shadow said skating towards him.
Clutch was caught a little off guard.
"...Uh...I didn't steal nothin'! I just took out a little loan. Oh, and they got your friend
over in the fortified residential zone. I swear, man! Hey lemme help you out! I won't try nuthin' funny, I swear!"
"Sure, why not? Just don't pull any crap or you'll pay." Shadow said.
-----------Clutch has joined you------------------
"Now, time to head back and tell the others." Shadow said skating back towards the garage.
------------------------
Garage
"....What?! He's in the fortified residential zone?"
"Yep, Sonic, that's what Clutch told me...right?" Shadow said, looking at Clutch.
"Like I said, that's right. But that place is deep in the ghetto, man."
"Yeah, and it could be the fake one, again." Tails said.
"I think Tom should go." Zoel said.
"Huh? Why me?" Tom asked.
"Because it should be second nature for a white homie such as yourself. Just act like you did back on Earth, and
you should be fine."
"....you Son of a......Oh, well....it's true....This one's mine guy's, they're going down this time."
"Are you sure?" Sally asked.
"Yep, this is my mission. I will succeed and I will be back." Tom said skating off.....
-----------------------
The Fortified Residential Zone
"Well, here I am....what's that?" Tom asked.
Tape Recorder Voice:"Soon, when timer runs out, this building will go kaboom. Fools, you cling to the sad notions of
comradery and friendship. Because of this, your pitiable little lives will end in a grand display
of fireworks."
DJProfK:"Hurry and spray the blue device first to stop the timer."
"Oh, Shit! Just great. Well, time to save the ghetto."
Tom spotted the first two on top of some platform.
He grinded up the ladders to reach them and sprayed them, deactivating their timers.
On the floor, he sprayed four more while grinding between them on pipes.
The last two were up some stairways.
"How do I get up there?" Tom asked.
Then he got his answer.
Tom grinded the rails across, and the ladders up till he reached the last two.
"(sigh), timer's been deactivated."
Tape Recorder Voice:"If you are hearing this, it means you have somehow managed to deactivate all the blue devices. How
Interesting. Let's see how well you fare a second time."
DJProfK:"Well it seems you've stopped the blue devices. Now find the red ones and disarm it."
"What now? Time to disarm this sucka."
Tom skated to the higher levels in order to reach the second
set of devices.
"Ah damn, this is going to be tough." Tom said, seeing how all the devices were
spread out all over the place.
Needless to say, Tom fell many times trying to get them, as he didn't have enough energy to use his Hands of Light.
"...ugh, finally, I can save Ryan."
DJProfK:"You stopped the timer. Whew, man oh man, I was sweating bricks over here. Now go save Ryan."
Tom skated up and through the last level of apartments to the cage where
Ryan was being held.
Tom jumped on rooftops, fell through a few, and finally arrived at the top floor.
Tom just looked at me.
Then ProfK, butted in, as a couple of harriers came crashing through the ceiling.
DJProfK:"Heads up, Golden Rhinos incoming! Guess they didn't like you messing with the timers. Take 'em all out!"
"What?! I don't need this." Tom said, starting to glow.
"Oh, Shit. I think I know what's going to happen." I said, taking what little cover I could.
"Now, you'll feel my power." Tom shouted, doing his hand-rave move.
"HANDS OF LIGHT!!!" Tom shouted, unleashing a huge beam of destructive energy,
turning those three harriers, and the Golden Rhinos inside, into dust.
I jumped out of my now broken prison.
"Hey, Tom, who's the man?"
"I'm the man!" Tom said, as we did our secret handshake.
DJProfK: "Jet Set Radio!! Whether your chillin' on your couch or coffin, tune us in to keep ya company. The FF's rescued the real
Ryan.....I think! He had heard a rumor about the Golden Rhino's and had gone off to try and stop them on his own, but
ended up getting caught. Now I'm on the top of their lists for giving you the lowdown. This must be the first time I've been on
top since the burping contest in first grade. Also, someone who looks alot like Tom is going around spraying some really funky
graffiti. Is this what'll happen in the streets? Go stop him!"
------------------
Chapter 8
------------------
FF's Garage
"Ah, good to be back." I said.
"Yeah, your just lucky I saved your sorry ass." Tom said.
The others showed mixed feeling towards my foolish decision to end this quickly.
"Look, I got you into this mess, I was just trying to get us out of it as fast as
possible." I told them, "Hey, why is there some paint cans lying around and what's wrong with Sonic? And why do you guys look a little dazed?"
"Uhhhhh, never you mind....no need to worry about that...." Tom said stuttering.
"Besides," Tails said, getting back on topic, "Ryan, that's why we're here. To help you; all of us are a team. And will do it all together." Tails said.
"Your right, so let's finish this and head home."
"I'm a bit rusty, but this next mission is mine." I said.
"No doubt this is the real Ryan, this one's too headstrong and impatient." Sonic said.
"Ha ha, real funny. So any idea where the next distrubance is coming from?" I asked.
"Well, according to information that we received from DJ Prof. K, The Golden Rhinos
are focused on two areas right now...." Sally said.
"And those would be?" Shadow asked.
"Chou Street and Highway Zero."
"I'm taking Highway Zero." I said.
"Then I'm taking Chou Street." Tom offered.
"No way man, you've done way to much, saving Ryan. I'll handle it." Shadow said.
"I'd fight over it, but your right, I don't have much energy left and would more than
likely just die again."
"Again?"
"Never mind, just hurry up so we can head back to Mobius."
"Right." Shadow said, speeding off to Chou Street.
--------------------------
Chou Street
DJProfK: "Ain't no superheroes to save the day in the world of the streets. It's all
up to you to take the role on for yourself. Chou Street has been layed to waste and Highway Zero is a sea of flames. Stop them Golden Rhinos once and for all."
"Right. Time to go to work." Shadow said, skated onto Chou Street.
Suddenly, a golden armed assasin jumped in front or rather shot his arm out and
swung over to Shadow.
"You, of all places, you had to be here."
"Ah, Project Shadow, how nice to see you again." said the figure.
"I can't say the same for you, Commander." Shadow said, growling while he spoke, "How
did someone like you end up back in the land of the living?"
"It's a long story, (wavy lines, flashback sequence)....After your mangy human friend
took me along with him when our GUNDAMS exploded, I found myself between dimensions. I
guess you could say I was in a sorta of hell. Let's just say that making the right deal with the right guy can get you anywhere."
"So you made a deal with the devil, just to come back and fight us."
"Oh no, I came back. Fighting you will be an extra bonus. You should be so lucky as to
die by these wonderful cybernetic hands."
"Yeah right, let's fight. En guarde!" Shadow said charging at him.
The Commander shot his arm into a building and pulled himself out of the way.
"Damn, he's quicker than before, I need to get close enought to spray his back, but
with that kind of speed, how can I knock him down?"
"What's the matter, Project Shadow? If your the Ultimate Lifeform, you should be able
to dodge this." the Commander said, firing his other arm out towards Shadow.
"That's it." Shadow thought, "I'll grind up his arm to get him, just like I grinded the Prototypes support system rails."
With that Shadow jumped on the arm and grinded towards the Commander.
"What the? Hey, get off. No free rides."
Too late, he was met with one of Shadow's rollerblades to the face and fell down.
"Your time's up, it's painting time."
Shadow used his mad painting skillz to put the Commander out for good.
"No, not again. We will meet again..mark....my.....w.w.words..." he said, as a Golden Rhino jet fired four missles at him, which picked him up, and exploded, taking the
Commander with them.
"Yes, we may meet again, but....I'll just kick your sorry ass again. Hey, Ryan, can you hear me?"
--------------------------
Highway Zero
"Yeah, Shadow. I read you loud and clear. What's up?" I said/asked.
"Well, I defeated a "friend of ours" from the past, so Chou Street is now safe."
"A friend?"
"I'll explain later. Just finish off the Golden Rhino leader there so we can go home."
"Gotcha." I said, closing the channel. "I wonder what he meant by a "friend"? Oh well,
time to finish this.
I skated into Highway Zero and the traffic was gone. It was empty, like a ghost town.
"Bizarre, there's no one here." I said, jumping down to the street below.
"Whoa!" I said, jumping to the side, nearly becoming fried by some psycho chick with
a flame thrower.
"And how shall we cook this one, well done, Oh... I know, Deep-Fried!" she cackled.
I sensed a disturbance, something was up with this person, like she was possesed or something.
"Oh well, you want a fight, you've got it."
I figured that if I sprayed the tank on her flamethrower, I could set off a chain reaction, that would cause her flamethrower to explode.
However she was not going to make this easy.
She shot flames all over the place and turned me into a human fireball.
"Ouch, hot!" I said, sounding like a complete moron.
However I soon gained the upper hand and her tank exploded, engulfing her in flames,
which shot up and knocked down a billboard, crushing her.
Before I turned around, I saw some kind of dark presence leave from where her
corpse was.
"That shadow, it must have been the distrubance I felt. I can't get it now, but what
was it and where did it come from?"
Just then DJ Prof. K opened up a channel.....
DJ ProfK: "From the direction of the skyscraper district, ji--ji--ji....
Huh? Who the hell are you? Get out! Hey don't Touch that!"
"Sounds like Prof. Knux is in trouble." I shouted heading towards the Skyscraper district.
-------------------------
Skyscraper District
"Look, guys. Something's happened to Knux, or rather Prof. K. I'm chechking it out.
I'll radio in if something big goes down."
I didn't like this but I had to do something, if Knux was killed, who knows what that
would do to this dimension reality.
I didn't have to look far for the source of trouble.
A helicopter was carrying DJ Prof. K towards the site of the Tokyo Rail Line.
And to make matters worse, Zero Tom, Tom's look-alike, decided to show up.
I skated over to the rooftop he was on and talked to him.
"Hey, what's going on?" I demanded.
"......." Was his reply.
He then skated off towards the site of the Tokyo Rail Line.
"Hey, come back here." I said, chasing after him.
-------------------------
Tokyo Rail Line
DJProfK:"Hey! The Golden Rhinos are here. I'll keep broadcasting as long as I can.
The Golden Rhinos have brought in some strange looking machine. What is that damn thing? Whatever it is, you've got to destroy it."
"This presents a problem." I said to myself.
I opened a channel and asked for Tails.
"Tails here, what's the prob?"
"Well, there's a maniac train speeding around the Tokyo Rail Line and I've got no clue
how to stop it."
"Well, does it have a weakness you can exploit?"
"I'll I see are two engines mounted on the back, divided into four section."
"Well, it seems to work on people, so spray the damn things engines and clog it up."
"It's seems so simple, but in theory it should work. Okay, wish me luck."
I started skating behind it and worked hard to keep up.
It deployed lines to electrify the tracks but I was to quick for it.
However, when it opened up and launched a rail car at me, I wasn't prepared for it.
"Ouch, shit, damn! PAIN!" I shouted, tumbling to the ground.
I soon caught up and after a long, painful, and drawn out battle,
the terrifrying train exploded in a huge fireball.
---------------------
Shibuyat Terminal
Eggkaku, in his strange tower thing, made his speech:
"People of Tokyo, of the world, konichiwai, and good evening.
This is DJ Big Gouji.
Eggkaku Bonzai Radio.
To start off the night, although it is behind, the Eggkaku Expo starts today.
Now I will show you the true meaning of art.
Oh, I love beauty.
The name of this tower of ultimte beauty is blah-blah-blah, it's name is not important.
What you must know is that this tower plays the music of the future of Tokyo and the
world.
There is no need to resist.
Hurry to the Shibuya Terminal.
Hurry! Hurry! Isogeeee!"
---------------------
FF's Garage
"Man, I almost thought we had won." I said.
"I can't beleive it." Sonic said.
"Well, what are we going to do?" Shadow asked.
"I know." Tom said, "I'm going to face him, and defeat him."
"Are you sure?" Zoel asked.
"Yes, I must face my destiny." Tom said, skating solemnly off to face Eggkaku.
"Good Luck, my friend!" I shouted.
---------------------
Shibuya Terminal
Tom skated along and jumped down to face Eggkaku.
Eggkaku broke into another speech.
"Ladies and gentleman. Thank you for gathering here. However this tower is not finished.
That is why I need ALL of you.
With you voices, we can complete this tower of Ultimate beauty.
Wipe the smiles of your faces. Show me your inner demons.
HA HA HA! That's better. This is the art of Despair!
Abandon your hopes and throw away those miserable smiles.
And now, here to guide you are my children, Zero Tom!
And I, DJ Big Gouji, will provide the accompinament.
Aiieeee!"
"Great, two look-alikes to deal with, oh well, let's do it." Tom said, skating after
the Zero Tom's.
As Tom chased the two Zero's Gouji was talking smack.
"You think I'm crazy, the way I see it your the one's who are crazy."
"We see things from different perspectives, but in the end....he who speaks the loudest is right?...RIGHT!"
"WRONG!" Tom shouted, tagging the first Zero down.
Tom took his, but he finally beat the second one.
The sky returned to normal and so did Prof K.
DJ Prof.K:"Yeeeeaaaaahhhhhhh bbbbooooyyyyy! We're kickin' it liiivvvveee!
Welcom to the new Jet Set Radio. Hold it, Hold it....Wait a minute...I think I'm gonna
call it Jet Set Radio Future...yeah...and when I say future I don't mean that stuff
that Nostradamus wrote. The future is one big blank slate, baby. You decide what goes
on in it!"
"Do not interfere with my masterpiece. Perhaps you would like to help with it?"
Eggkaku said, adding his two cents, while sucking Tom into the tower.
----------------------
???????????
"Bwa ha ha ha. All of you, heed my words. Mmmy name is Rocker Eggkaku Gouji, I hold
the key to the future of mankind!
Hahaha, the women and children, the world belongs to me." said Eggkaku, before he was
engulfed in purple light and transformed into this huge robot type thing.
"Where am I?" Tom said. "I'm can't signal the others and I sense an evil presence."
Tom turned around just in time to see shadow creatures coming at him.
"Could these be the work of Darc?" Tom thought as he ripped through them.
"Let's see, the only way up is to grind strategically on the pieces of railing and such that made there way in here."
Tom took the chance and grinded, jumped, spun, wallrided, and so on till he reached the top.
There were only two words to describe Eggkaku's new state.
UG-LY!
"Time to take you out, and go home!" Tom said, charging the newly dubbed A.KU.MU.
Tom slammed him to the ground and cracked his arm.
Tom sprayed like a wild man, tagging him as fast as possible.
However, A.KU.MU got up and knocked Tom to the edge.
"Ahhh!" Tom said, holding on by one hand.
"So-o, time to die!" A.KU.MU said charging Tom.
"No, it can't end like this. I can't let it end like this." Tom said, his eyes glowing.
Tom unleashed his power and went Super.
A.KU.MU. stopped in his tracks. "What power is this?" he asked.
"That of the Ultimate Lifeform. CHAOS CONTROL!" Tom shouted, ripping straight through
A.KU.MU.
A.KU.MU. exploded into energy and Edd
"There, it's finally over. However, we may have won this battle, but the war still rages on."
The dimension's went back to normal as Tom headed back towards the garage.
-----------------------
EPILOGUE
The tower of evil had been destroyed.
"Grahaaaa, See Ya Later! Gaaaag!" Eggkaku said, speaking his apparent last.
DJ Prof.K said it best:
"A man's desire crumbled, the tower is no more than steel and glass.
This paper we have called money, that can corrupt men.
The prescence of people like Gouji make you wonder, was this just one man's desire,
or was it perhaps a symbol of the darkness living in our world.
This suppression was no match for a person's want of freedom of life.
The more you push people, and take away their freedom, the more they will
push back.
Those who want freedom will fight tooth and nail for it.
The reminders of this war will be etched on the wall, as well as in our memories.
So once again the radio will play static and worn out tunes.
Heh....the city is normal, alright.
But one can't help but wonder....what will happen tommorow?"
As for us:
In the end Eggkaku disappeared, we didn't need reminders that we saved the city, we
did it to express our freedom.
"Hey, turn that radio up!" Sonic shouted.
As the music played and the radio blared, a feeling came over us. We had once again
done what we always do, upheld freedom and fought for what we beleived in.
As we listened to the music, we soon began to return to our dimension on Mobius.
One by one we disappeared.
I was the last to go. I'll probably never forget this world.
But one thing is for sure, they'll never forget about me or my friends.
---------THE END for us, but on the streets there is no such thing as THE END---------
