I do not own Paranoia Agent or anything affiliated with the anime. I am not making any money or getting any fame from writing this story so don't sue me. The following is just what I believe the fictional Shounen Bat is like.

This is the story of the anime Paranoia Agent through Shounen Bat's point of view. I will do my best to follow the storyline as accurately as possible but if I make mistakes please bear with me. Anyways this first chapter will tell the reason behind Shounen Bat and a few things about his character.

Due to the way I am writing the story there will be several spoilers throughout the story and the story won't make much sense if you haven't seen the anime. I also need to explain a few extra things that will help understand the story. I'll be writing chapters to coincide the timeline of the events from the show starting with the accident when Tsukiko.

Shounen Bat (Little Slugger) was born from Tsukiko, he is a little voice from her thoughts and fears that she was never aware of, Maromi made sure that Tsukiko could never hear him. Every once in a while she could feel his presence but she never knew she had another person in her mind.

His personality was shaped by the way Tsukiko thinks and that's where he got his way of reasoning. He talks to himself a lot and he doesn't care about anything other than his work. He is always in a state of nothingness but still has awareness. The way I see it is easy to understand and experience. Find a place where it is totally quiet and the temperature is slightly cold. Close your eyes softly but make sure that you can't see or feel any light. Next let the feelings of your limbs and body fade away. Concentrate on your thoughts and think to yourself (if you have a song stuck in your head this probably won't work.)

Now as with all good stories (I hope this one will be too) the beginning.

"I am Shounen Bat, I am what I am because people need someone to solve their problems. They need someone to blame for their failures, someone to fix their lives, I am that person. It all started with her, Tsukiko. She was afraid and I was born. Her need to find someone else to blame became an obsession strong enough to give me form. She forgot me, but I never left her.

"For years her fears and troubles gave me strength and all I could do was wait until I became strong enough to take shape."

"I lived in her mind and she knew."

"I lived there for so long and now I can finally accomplish what I was meant to."

"These people out here they need me…I am the one that they wait for."

"I can hear them calling out to the wind begging for someone to save them."

"That is who I am, there's nothing anyone can do to stop me."

"I induce pain and horror upon people but will be thankful for my help."

"Soon everyone will see what I can do, I will only become stronger and I will save humanity from itself and everyone will stop being hating life."

"I hear her, the little girl in her heart, the one that keeps me alive."

"It's her fear, pain, worries and that dog, Maromi that give me shape."

"I heard her cry out to me a few days ago. She wanted me to save her again, at that time I was finally released and as I gained the strength to take form, that damn bastard of a dog banished me from her. That blow crippled me for a while. I woke to find myself alone within a dark nebula. I was there alone, but strangely enough I felt myself everywhere too. I had gained the power to find people that needed saving and I wasn't burdened by a cluttered mind. I could still link with Tsukiko's mind and that helped me figure out which people needed saving."

"I was free and now I took to the sky and saw for the very first time saw my kingdom. All of Japan would be mine for the saving but first this little city would have to do. I've finally found my first patient. His name is Kawazu. I feel his spirit breaking. That man doesn't stand a chance, his life has always been a mess and his job is worse. Maromi is pressuring me to get rid of him because he's pestering Tsukiko but to hell with that mutt. I don't take orders from anyone anymore. I will only save people who need it most and I think that he is one of those people."

"I can't wait for him to finally snap."

"His cry for help isn't strong enough yet but I'm sure it will be

……………soon."
