"There was no time machine, we never hit an old man with a sword, and you saw nothing!" Motoko stated as she ran past him dragging Hiromi by the hand, who was actually rather pale with an unfocused gaze, and...was that a stab wound!? "Bye Jun!"

As he watched his sister frantically drive away with her Choom, with what looked like a broken katana blade lodged in her shoulder. Turning to the burning scrap heap of a car his gonk sister left behind, he was confused about why the back end looked so strange even as it burned. Then it chose that moment to blow up, knocking him off his feet.

After shaking himself, he turned his head to the right... Only to find a burned handle of a katana, which looked kind of fancy...

Shrugging it off, he started to sit up and push off whatever was pressing down on him. Only to stare into the eyes of a skeleton, with some embers still burning in its eyes.

To the day he died he would swear that he grabbed the katana handle and sprang to his feet in a defensive posture, he did not... Not in a million years shriek like a soprano with arachnophobia finding a tarantula in their shower, nor did he blindly grab the broken katana as if it was a safety bear and run back to his old home and embrace his XXL Burrito machine...

2008

"Lord Arasaka-" Called one of his minions as the car approached at high speed, the bullets burning up as it was covered in a strange field. Moments before it could hit him he drew his katana, only for it to disappear, and set his spread feet on fire.

"Aaaagh!" Saburo Arasaka screamed as his burning feet set his pants on fire. "Put it out you fools!"

Quickly his trained bodyguards rushed to pat him out, grabbing water, and so on to try and put out the devil fire.

He would remember, that devil car that tried to end his life.

2021

"Aaaah! Not agai-" A shrieking voice interrupted his meditations on the treachery that burned down their influence in Night City, and how Arasaka could endure.

Hearing that sound from that...demon had him leaping to his feet, his katana swinging towards that sound, and this time he touched the demon... As it side swiped him as it disappeared, leaving him feeling cold, and his sword frozen. He was also lamenting what he would later find out to be a shattered hip, and a burst testicle...

2077

"It has come for me!" Saburo screamed as he leaped away from his treacherous son. hand already drawing the katana he almost left in the car that conveyed them. But this was his moment to slay the creature and its hellish driver!

He could see it approaching the window, the driver face twisting into a hellish expression (Confusion that the old man was getting in the way of her car), and then widening as his sword burst into light from the upgrades he had installed into it over the years. Its fire would no longer...

V, Jackie,Yorinobu, Adam Smasher, and even Saburo's dedicated body guard Goro all stared as a car tore through the window and passed through the other side carrying Saburo Arasaka with it. With Goro desperately leaping towards the back of said car with his katana drawn, only to fall off as the car shock from the maddened Saburo trying to destroy it even as he was being carried off.

Drawing to the edge of the shattered window Adam Smasher watched the car take off with his one time employer, bobbing and weaving, and even making barrel rolls trying to throw off the crazy old man whose legs looked...shattered.

Yorinobu on the other hand looked down just as an almighty crash echoed faintly upwards, before shaking his head at the foolish loss of life, and the idiot who thought he could actually hold on to a speeding vehicle in flight.

"...Blackhand you were not..." Yorinobu declared in derision before turning around and walking to the elevator, planning to inform others of the incident. Though he was contemplating leaving out that the car hit his father, maybe the old devil will pass away from the phantom car he used to swear was trying to kill him.

"It would be impossible..." Yorinobu muttered to himself as he dismissed the coincidence, just as the car flying at high speeds suddenly disappeared leaving a trail of fire in the sky. Not before the old man screamed Banzai as he stabbed his katana through the passenger window.

Kusanagi Apartment Two Days Later

"You hit Saburo with a car!" V shouted as she stomped around the apartment, her frenzied expression torn between dismay, and a slight hint of respect/awe/

"We are so...dead." Jackie stated he looked around at the wildly changed gonk kids of Section 9.

Motoko being a Borg who still hovered around Hiromi who nearly died years ago, who had been changed heavily by the incident. With a cyber arm, and an eye patch over her left eye.

Apparently she lost the eye that had been a gift from Motoko to try and mend fences after said incident. only for said eye to get torn out after she was captured by Scavs. Ironically she saw the same eye passed to her boss by some merc during a meeting, only finding out who it belonged to after she was fired.

"What is going on?" Jun asked as he was walking bye, tucked into his belt was a tanto with a hilt she had seen just a few days ago. "Why are you two here?"

Not noticing Motoko glare at the Tanto, or how Hiromi's hand came up to lay against her shoulder.

"Why do you have Saburo Arasaka's Sword?" Jackie asked as he blatantly stared at the blade.

"WHAAAT!" Jun shrieked in a high soprano voice, causing the multiple women who just happened to be hanging around the apartment to stop glaring at each other, and instead look at him with various looks on their faces and in their eyes.

Notes: I saw the Back to the Future dlc for Power Wash Simulator, it did this! Blame it and not me!
