Chapter 43 – Ghost in the magic
The city of Tokyo in the year of 2034 is a place where life between the digital and physical world has been blurred. The boundary of technology and humanity has been stretched beyond imagination with lives being led in both the electronic and physical worlds. With the melding of man and machine a new cybernetic level of existence is being created an existence that continues to redefine mankind. In the pass few weeks since the Laughing Man incidents had happen there were a lot of changes going on in Japan. For one thing a new prime ministers had been elected the first woman after the facts were release about the conspiracy by the Ministry of Health to suppress the Murai Vaccine, a vaccine that can effectively treat cyber sclerosis. The hardening of the brain for those who have been cyber implanted.
The ones that cause it is Section 9, a special anti-cybernetic terrorism unit for the Japanese government. Was the one that brought that information into the public eye causing massive reform in the government. After being disbanded the group was reform again after the news broke out about the truth about the Laughing Man. Now they're working under the new government that they help set up. After they had quickly put an end to an arm take over at a government building without any deaths with the hostages that were taken.
The people of the city of Tokyo were going on with their daily business as they had always done before. Some of them felt better that there's a way to treat cyber sclerosis as well as the ones that have it. Then there were some people that didn't really care about it as they just go on with their lives as if nothing had really changed, as it was the ruling party that really runs things in the government. A lot of people that don't have any cyber parts have started to talk about how its better not to have cyber parts as something like this could happen again. As one of the reasons why all of this happened was that the people in the government that was part of the world wide scandal didn't want to discredit the cyber implants that were still new at that time.
Inside the rebuilt building of the new Section 9 a meeting was taking place. Dealing with the sudden rash of robberies, that's been going on throughout the city for the past two months. "The only thing that connects all of the items that have been stolen is that the items are all very old and said to have magic powers," Daisuke Aramaki head of Section 9 said to his team. He relies upon his many international and corporate contacts to supply his team with the information they need to get the job done. Seldom directly involved in police action, he is nonetheless constantly working behind the scenes to coordinate the efforts of his agents.
"The people who rob the places hit all wore outlandish costumes that would fit right into a fantasy movie set," Batou said as they all look over the pictures that some of the people who were rob manage to take of robbers. It was of the people that were dress in armor that had attacked one of the still existing old temples and taken off with some old scrolls that said to list magical items and contain spells.
"Are these the only photos we got of them?" Borma ask looking at the only pictures of the robbers that they got. He's has a bald head and cyber eyes along with a large body, "These are only from the ones that rob the old Hina Temple."
"If it wasn't the fact that temple still had a working old fashion camera that they use to bring in people. We wouldn't have photos of what they look like," said Ishikawa whose primary function as an intelligence gatherer. An accomplished hacker gives up to data information to the team, "Other then that we got nothing but what people saw when the other members of this group robbed those other places."
"It's always the same thing a sudden power surge that destroys all of the buildings systems than they hit fast and gone the next," Paz a detective who assists with the legwork and daily investigations of Section 9 helps with hacking with Ishikawa and teams up with Borma, "All of the systems seem to have been struck by a bolt of super charge lightning as all of the systems were made to handle high voltage."
"So what do the others of this group look like?" Saito ask the major. He's the sharpshooter of the team that likes to use a .50 caliber sniper rifle and use a cybernetic magnification scope hidden in his left eye to uplink with a GPS satellite for additional accuracy.
Motoko Kusanagi the second command major of Section 9, was forced by a medical condition to switch to a prosthetic body at a very young age. Although now she is incredibly adept at using her state of the art highly modified prosthetic body has a stoic demeanor. Holding up a written report she began reading off of it, "In the museum a woman dress in leather and a gasmask overloaded the computer system with some kind of high voltage weapon knocking out all of the cameras in the building. No one got a good look at her as she than release some kind of sleeping gas on the people in the museum. How it was so quickly spread as there's no trace of any tanks or containers after she made off with those rituals items. Then there's the one that deals with some kind of cyborg that's made to look like something cross between a man and a dinosaur. The two objects that were stolen was a dragon statue that was the center piece of the Stone Dragon Restaurant and before that an ancient stone orb from a privet collectors vault. Nothing else was taken from any of the places that were broken into so its not money they were after as there were more valuable items that could have been stolen."
"Are there any other links to the thief's besides that all of the items stolen are said to have magic?" Aramaki ask.
"Nope it seems that whoever they are. They're only after the items that are listed in that scroll that was stolen from the temple. Since the scroll was never copied onto any hard drive the only ones that know what's on it are the ones that stole it as they're using it to find out what items have a magical background story. Then it's a simple matter to go on the net to find out where the items are store at. So unless we go and do some research on artifacts that have magic powers we have no idea where they're going to hit next," Motoko said.
"So what magic does the objects that been stolen use for?" Togusa asks as he looks at the pictures of the armored group as he's thinks that he seen something like the armor they wore from someplace but couldn't remember where.
"Well all of the objects are said to have the power to open up gateways to other worlds," Motoko said reading what they manage to gathered on the items.
"So someone is trying to open a portal into the demon world to bring the human race to its knees," Batou said causing everyone to look at him strangely, "Okay so I watch some old animes that have the bad guys opening up a portal to unleash demons."
"Wait that's it!" Togusa said snapping his fingers, "I knew I saw something like the armor that their wearing. It's from an old movie that my wife had me watch call 'Lord of The Rings' the armor that some of the people in it wore the same kind of armor."
"Ah yes the book series by Tolken been years since I read it," Aramaki said.
"So you think there's a connection there?" Motoko ask him.
"Maybe but the movie was, made in the late 1990s and besides the few book fans only a few people watch that movie anymore," Togusa said.
"Okay were dealing with people who are movie fans than," Batou said.
"I want all of you to find any leads that you can find on these people do whatever you can to find out who they are and what their doing with all of the items that they have stolen," Aramaki said.
"Okay we're on it," Batou said as he and the others headed out for their usually haunts for their information.

Elsewhere in the city –
In the bar that the Section 9 agents use to spread out information to the reporters it was unusually crowed. Motoko and Batou walk down into the basement bar spotting two other people in the bar. The first one is a dark skinned woman dress in a leather jacket and pants. She kept her dark hair is made up into locks and from the looks of it they figure that she had a cyber implant accident as there was just something wrong about her. The other woman on the other hand has pink hair. She's wearing an outlandish leather outfit. It's made of skin tight leather that seemed better suited for an S&M video than everyday clothes. But then again what Motoko wears isn't what most people would call normal either. Her face is quite pretty and had a mole on her left cheek. Both of them are sitting at a table waiting for something as they drank some beer.
"Oh hi Motoko, Batou been awhile," the barkeep greeted them. He's a large man but has a soft voice.
"Hi so what's good today?" Motoko asks as she and Batou sat at the bar stools as they would have to wait till those two leave before they could start asking questions.
"Oh why do you have to be like that," the barkeep said, "You know that my stuff is good." (1)
"He's right you know," the pink haired woman said, "This stuff isn't as strong as I like but still its good."
"Still a bit more kick to it would be nice," her companion added as she gulps down her glass down.
The door to the restroom bang open letting out a 9-foot tall female. She has a mane of pitch-black hair was frizzled and unruly, bushing out to her shoulders by the time it fell that far down. She wore a pair of blue overalls and a green and yellow striped long sleeve shirt. She's powerfully built as the way that the shirt she wore seemed ready to tear apart with her every movement.
"So ready to go?" the pink haired woman ask the giant.
"Sure let's go," the giant woman said as she follow the two out of the bar climbing up the steps. Motoko and Batou waited till they heard the front door closing before they went down to business.
"Wow what kind of cyber implants did she order?" Batou said as he seen some strange implants before but he never seen someone making themselves into a giant like that.
"She doesn't have any implants," the barkeep said, "She just that big."
"I thought that people like her are treated so that they wouldn't grow that big?" Motoko said.
"While when I ask her that and she just said that she just grew that big," the barkeep said.
"So anyways have you heard of anything about the robberies that been happening lately?" Motoko asks.
"No sorry whoever is doing those jobs are making sure that there's no leaks. No one has been hearing anything about those who are behind all of the robberies," he said than the lights of the building suddenly turn off, "Hey what's with this blackout?"
'Major there's a several city block blackout in your area,' Aramaki call her through the cyber link.
'We're on it,' Motoko said as she and Batou got up and ran outside.
"Okay where do were start looking?" Batou ask as he looks around as people around the streets are wondering what happen to the power as something like this hasn't happen since the last war. Gun firer soon erupted from a building down the street.
"Over there seems good," Motoko said as she and Batou ran down the street and into the building.
They made their way through the people that are running out of the building once they heard gun firer. It was a small office building that they had ran into, as they got higher the sound of the gun firer suddenly stop with a cry. The hallway where the gun firer had came from was empty and dark, they knew that the gun firer came from this floor but they didn't know from where. A man was suddenly was thrown through one of the doors in front of them.
"Careful now," Batou said as both of them pulled out their guns. Then he look down at the man that was thrown through the door, "How he?"
"He'll live," Motoko said as she did a scan on the net for information on the office they're about to enter, "This is one of the offices for the one of the crime families."
"On the count of three. THREE!" both he and Motoko pop into the office to find everything clear. There were bodies of the people that were inside the office covering the room. Those with artificial parts were torn off of their bodies and thrown around the room. It looks as one hell of a fight had taken place in here.
"Hey who did this?" Motoko ask one of the wounded people that was still concise. All of his artificial limbs were all torn off of him.
"They came too fast, there was no way to fight back," he moans as he passes out from the pain.
"You think they're still here?" Batou ask as they heard something in one of the other rooms. They move as one to either side of the doorway before they burst into the room.
Inside they found something that really didn't make sense. It looked at least partly like some kind of a dinosaur though not one that has ever walked on the face of the Earth. The ten foot tall creature is dress in heavy plate armor that they only seen in old movies, making it look like a walking tank. It has no tail but has the thick skin and powerful legs of a dinosaur. It is obviously designed to be able to walk upright. It has small eyes and a heavy and rounded snout of a carnivorous dinosaur such as a T. Rex or a Velociraptor. It also has long and thickly muscled arms and hands with slender grasping fingers. As impossible as it sounds it looks like the mutant offspring of a man and a dinosaur. Looking closely they couldn't see how someone could have built something like this cyborg without anyone noticing or how it got into the building without alerting anyone else seeing it.
The dino hybrid hearing them enter the room turn its head towards them as it was trying to tear open the wall safes door off. It let out a low growl as it turn its full attention to them. Bringing itself to its full height of over ten feet fully cover in armor that's been stolen from one of the army bases for tank armor it bared its huge fangs to the two humans that would dare to fight it.
"You know I didn't think it would be this big," Batou said as he and Motoko covered it with their suddenly pathetic weapons as the hulking creature started walking towards them.
"Hold it right there!" Motoko said as she kept her cool demitted as she was face to face with a giant cyborg to her eyes.
"You really think it will stop?" Batou said as he could see the marks where it was shot off but the armor it wore didn't even had any dents on it. He raised his gun to firer at an unprotected spot on the creatures body when both he and the Major were suddenly knock forwards as something slam into them from the back. Then before they regain their balance the person that hit them swing its arms at their hands knocking their guns away from them.
Turning quickly they saw a strange short man that was slightly hunched over. It was wearing black armor that made it look very demonic. The helmet consisted of two pieces, the skull and the visor, both of which had spikes extending into the face area, and these were riveted together at a point in front of where the ears should be in such a way as to give the impression of a fanged maw. The creature has very long limbs like that of a monkey or an ape, but unlike the gentle creatures it has long claws coming for its arms. It stared that the two agents as it let out a hissing sound.
"What you know you maybe right about the demon gate thing," Motoko said as she stared at the creature in front of them. The creature leaped at her knocking her through the open doorway.
"Major!" Batou shouted turning to help her when he was grab and lifted up by his arm. He turn to come to face with the dino that he had forgotten about, "Oh yeah I forgot about you." The dino let out a roar as it slams Batou onto the wooden desk breaking it as Batou slammed on top of it. Getting up from his fall Batou saw it stomping towards him, "Don't think that I'm that easy." He charged at the dino slamming his fist into its unguarded jaw putting all of his weight into his punch. Looking up Batou saw that his punch didn't even fazed it as it stared down at him letting out a low growl like that of a dog before it attacks, "Well this is going to suck."

In the other room –
Motoko leaped backwards as the creature swings its clawed arms at her. She couldn't get close to it as it could quickly twist its body around at angles that made it look like it's double jointed. It could launch a attack from almost any kind of position as it leap around the room clinging to the walls and the ceiling as it tried to hit the fast moving human.
'We can use some help here chief,' she called out to Aramaki with her intercom as she ducks the creature's clawed hand, 'We're dealing with some major upgrade cryborgs here.'
'Major what are they?' the chief said over the com.
'Well one is a cross between a human and a dino while the one that I'm dealing with has long claws and is like a human fly,' she said as she throws a chair at the creature who, easily slice through the wooden chair with its claws.
'Backup will be there any minute just hold them off as long as you can,' Aramaki said over the com.
The creature leaps at her with its claws aim for her head. She grabs holds of arms holding it back but the creature prove to be stronger then it looks as it began forcing its claws closer to her face. Bringing one of her legs up to her chest she kicks the creature away from her sending it flying back but ended up doing a back-flip onto its feet. The wall next to her suddenly exploded as Batou flew through it. "Batou!" she shouted as the dino cyborg poke most of its massive body out of the hole it made. It spotted her and swung his arm at her hitting her and making an impression of her in the wall as the force of the blow hit her with the force of a truck.
As she laid there unable to move as her systems been damage with that one hit leaving her unable to move her body until it's repaired. The smaller creature hissed something to the dino who nodded and popped itself back through the hole it just made. There were the sounds of something being torn came from the room, then the dino return carrying the heavy wall safe in its arms. The two cyborgs as it was the only way to explain them left the room as Motoko watch them leave. Batou who was in her sights he's heavy damage as some of his cyborg parts were showing broken parts on them and would need a major overhaul to be fix.
"Major!" Togusa shouted as he entered the room followed by Borma.
'Over here my nerves system been damage can't move my body and Batou took some heavy damage,' Motoko call out to them with her intercom.
"I get Batou down to the medic," Borma said as he lifted the heavy body of Batou down the stairs.
"Where did they go?" Togusa ask as he and Borma hadn't seen whoever done this as they came up the only staircase in this building.
'What you guys didn't see a ten foot tall dino and a guy with long claws both dress in armor coming up here?' she asks.
"No we didn't see anyone," he said.
'How can that be?' she wondered as there was no why they could have gotten out without alerting Togusa and Borma as they came up the only stairs of the building.

Far from the city –
"Well that could have gone better," Padak said as Gnasher and Runt return from their mission.
"Well we got the item," Runt said.
"Along with what's in the safe," Gnasher said as he put down the heavy safe down. He grabs a firm hold on the safe door and gave it a heavy jerk ripping it off of its hinge's.
"Well let's see what in here," Grelk said as he looks through the loot, "Well there's enough money here to last us awhile at least."
"So is it in there?" Padak asks him.
"Yup here it is," Grelk said as he pulls out a necklace with a bright green gem on it. The gem seems to have an inner fire inside of it that glowed a bright light.
"Good work you two," Estella said as Dagakul and Beast followed behind her with Beast holding a large statue of a green turtle, "With the power outage we were able to get the other item as when the call came out about Gnasher and Runt pop up on the channels all of the police in the area were on the look out for you two letting us get the second statue without any trouble."
"Are you sure you'll be able to open up a portal for us to go back home?" Padak asks her.
"Yes I can but the power that's needed I don't have," Estella explained to him again.
"And that's why you're having us stealing all of these magic items for you," Dagakul said as Beast place the turtle statue next to the blue colored statue of a dragon that they had stolen earlier.
"Yes once we get all of the magic items that can increase my magic and are for opening up portals we can all go home," Estella said as this world was interesting but she misses Lake Castle and her little brother. (2)
"I just hope it isn't a waste of time," Padak said.
"It's either that or those government people catch us and cut us up to see how we work," Dagakul said as she and Beast had taken a liking to Estella in the two months that they have been in this world.
"Don't worry I might stretch the truth now and then but I'm not going to fail at bringing us all back to our homeworld," Estella said to the group that were once her foes but as they suddenly found themselves in this new world they banded together to find a way back from where they came from.

1 – Can't remember his name.
2 – She tells people that she's powerful all of the time. But now stuck in a world with magic is gone she now has to stop lying and start showing that she can really do the magic that she says she can do.
