Disclaimer: Okay, this is before Xenogears and Xenosaga. I created the characters but the last names are Namco's. Some things I refer to are and are not copyrighted.
Before Xenosaga. Before Xenogears, there was Lost Jerusalem or Earth as we called it. Read as man kind struggles with the planet and how they escaped.
Chapter 1
Ayu Uzuki.
Ayu loved engineering. She currently worked at a car manufacturing company. Everyday she would doodle thing son her worksheets, most things were robots.
"Miss Uzuki, didn't I tell you to stop doodling on the work forms? Next time and your fired!" Ayu's boss yelled. Her boss got worked up over the slightest things.
"Yes sir," she replied solemnly. Her co-worker, Kanji Ridgeley came bursting through the doors.
"Chief! I heard the boss yelling again, if this keeps up you wont be the chief anymore!" Kanji yelled, using his most annoyingly whiny voice.
(Hmm, maybe that is where Allen got it from?)
"Really its okay Kanji. All I did was draw blueprints for something," Ayu smiled. Kanji rolled his eyes.
"That's what designing paper is for!" He threw some down and Ayu gleamed with happiness.
"Thanks!" She grabbed it. The first shift was over and Ayu was free to go. She got into her Buick and she drived down the streets. On her way home she stopped into a store.
"HARDWARE" The sign said. Ayu was looking for something special. In order to create what she wanted, she needed the goods.
"Ah," Ayu smiled. She picked out the parts and charged them to her credit card. Over the years Ayu had tried to create something she read in a book, an android. She even once considered cryogenically freezing herself so she could meet some in the future. Some called her crazy, but Ayu was a genius. She had gotten into Harvard at the age of 13 and graduated at the age of 15. What she was doing in some lousy car company was anybody's guess. Her fiancé, Sean died 2 years ago in a car accident. Ayu was lucky she came out unharmed. Which was weird because the car was completely totaled and the area around Ayu was completely safe, no dents or anything. It was as if someone was watching over her. Ayu left the store and got into her car. As she drove, she saw an elderly couple holding a sign. She slowed down to see what it said.
"The evil spirits are here!" They drew a black like ghost thing there to show emphasis. Ayu drove on by, that must have been the third crazy couple she had seen that day.
"I wonder what happened to them, I thought that their age was the golden one." Ayu drove into her brother's house, which she also owns. Ayu's parents were killed in a freak accident 14 years ago.
"Hey Tanaka!" Ayu called.
"You better not be reading!" Ayu was clearly fed up with Tanaka reading every single day, all day. He once had a bookstore but no one came.
"Really Ayu. You should see this new book. I got it for you!" He lied. Really he picked up the book because it looked interesting, but he decided that it would be better for his sister. Ayu came in and hung up her coat.
"Lemme see," she said. She grabbed the book and read the back cover. It was a newly published book. After she read the back cover, she went in her room and placed it on her nightstand.
"You were right, big brother. It does look like an interesting book." The only reason he gave it to her was that he could not understand one word of their techno babble.
"Oh another thing. A huge storm is coming near us. I saw it on the weather channel," Tanaka called after his sister.
"So could you cook before it hits us?" He pleaded. Tanaka could not cook worth money, leaving Ayu to do it all.
" Fine." Ayu pulled out some TV dinners and put the on in the microwave. After she left them to cook, she went in her room to read her new book. It was a science fiction novel that was supposed to be in the future. Someone wrote it by the name of Jin Uzuki.
"Hmm, cute name. I might name my kid that if I had one," Ayu chuckled. Then it hit her.
"Uzuki! He might be related to us!" Ayu ran to her computer to get on her Internet. On it she checked a family tree website. No Jin Uzuki.
"Hey Tanaka!" Ayu yelled. He ran into her room, thinking she had food.
"Food?" He asked hungrily.
"No, do you know of any Jin Uzuki's?" Ayu replied. Tanaka scratched his chin.
"Nope. Sounds like a fine name though," he laughed. Then the microwave beeped and he ran off in search of food. Ayu turned on her MP3 player and listened to some songs she found on the Internet. Ayu Uzuki was 17 and her brother was 25. Ayu's friend Mimikai Itsumi called. Mimi as Ayu called her worked with her at the car company.
"Hey there girl!" Mimi squealed. Mimi had the voice of an adolescent child, high pitched and squeaky.
"Hey Mimi." Ayu had to pull the phone away from her ear because she talked so loudly.
"Hey, I heard you got yelled at again!" Mimi squawked. Ayu sighed.
"Ayu! You cannot be doing this to your job! Where would you go if you got fired?" Mimi asked. Then she quickly regretted what she said.
"To either the opposite company who wants to pay me over 200,000 extra or to a top-secret engineering project," Ayu smirked. She loved being smart. Mimi sighed.
"Well think about it okay? Do not forget we have dinner reservations for tonight! The guys and us. We can get ready in an hour if that's okay?" Mimi asked. Ayu smiled.
"Okay!" Mimi and Ayu hung up and Ayu fished something nice out of her closet. It was a red cami with a knacki skirt. She pulled her blondish brownish hair up in a golden hair beret and applied some make-up. She wore ballet flats instead of pumps. Ayu sat down on her porch swing waiting for Mimi. Once she pulled up Ayu got inside. Mimi was 18 going on 19 and Ayu was just turning 18. They did not go to a bar; they went to a fancy restaurant where two guys were waiting. One had blonde hair and the other had black.
"Hello, im Tom and this is Eric," the blonde-haired person said. Mimi blushed but Ayu did not do anything. The thoughts of Sean still flooded her mind. She was only 15 but she loved him so much. Sean was 17 at the time. Tom pulled his arm around Ayu but she scooted away. Although when Eric put his hand on Mimi, she giggled and scooted closer. The waiter came and got their orders. After 30 minuets, they got their food and chowed down.
"Hmm, this is good food!" Tom said food in his mouth. Ayu scooted away. She would much rather be with her tools, trying to create something than be with this freak Tom.
"Mimi, its getting late. I should really get home." Mimi looked at Ayu's plate. She had only eaten the chicken.
"I thought you were paying!" Mimi protested. Ayu shook her head and walked off. Tom and Eric looked at her bewildered. Ayu waved good-bye and walked home.
Author's Note: Okay nothing really great happened here, but I promise weird things are going to happen to Miss Uzuki. You can count on it!
