Edoropolis Emporium

In this story you start your character's day at 6:00 AM. They are either getting ready for school, still in bed or in Panzer's case, already at school. Let's just see where this goes.

Leon: It's 6:00 AM and even the sun isn't out of bed yet. All is quiet on the street in front of Little Tokyo High. That is, until the silence is broken by rumbling motor of a city bus from downtown. On that bus is my client’s son, Panzer. He’s in the most cheerful of moods while going to school three hours before class time. Don’t ask me why. He’s just weird that way.

*Panzer passes by the bus driver on his way off*

Panzer: Thanks for driving me to school. I hope you have a wonderful day!
Bus Driver: No problem kid.

*Music starts playing*

Leon: Woah! Where did that tune come from?

*Panzer starts signing as soon as his foot touches the pavement*
(Leon: Feel free to sign along if you know this one folks)

Panzer: Everybody lives on a street in a city
Or a village or a town for what it's worth.
And they're all inside a country which is part of a continent
That sits upon a planet known as Earth.

And the Earth is a ball full of oceans and some mountains
Which is out there spinning silently in space.
And living on that Earth are the plants and the animals
And also the entire, um…, animaloid race!

It's a great big universe
And we're all really puny
We're just tiny little specks
About the size of Mickey Rooney.
It's big and black and inky
And we are small and dinky
It's a big!
Universe!
And we're NOOOT!

*Panzer continues to hum and whistle the song when he finally enters Little Tokyo High.
He walks to his locker and opens it.*

Leon: PANZER! BEHIND YOU!

BAAAAM! CRASH! SLAM!   …click.

Panzer: Aw! Son of a...
Leon: I bet NOW you wish hadn’t come to school so early.

Panzer: If I ever find whoever keeps doing this to me, I’m GONNA KILL THEM!

Leon: Now, Panzer, we promised this story wouldn’t become violent. Remember?

Meanwhile...

Its 6 AM and the sun hasn't come up yet. We focus in on a little house just outside of Little Tokyo. Its very quiet...but not for long...


Grams: DASH JEAN LUC ST PIERRE YOU BETTER HAUL YOUR BUTT OUT OF THAT BED RIGHT NOW!
Dash: Alright, alright...you can put the frying pan away Grams Im already up. I was just practicing my martial arts some in my room

So Dash came down the steps, grabbed the two garbage bags by the door and took them out to the dumpster by the street.

Grams: I made sure that you had what you needed to make your favorite, hon, just make sure you don't overwork the toaster this time.
Dash: Hey, I was hungry that morning...

With that, Dash made 3 toasted peanut butter and jelly (grape of course) sandwiches. After finishing his breakfast, Dash strapped on his skates and headed out the door.

Grams: DASH! YOU FORGOT YOUR HELMET AGAIN!
Dash: Sorry...

So he hurried back, got his helmet, strapped it on and headed for school.

On the other side of Little Tokyo...

Loud noises can be heard from a colourful ramshackle house down the street. If we listen closely, someone is approaching the front door.
WHAM!

Bouncer: "Bye, Mom! Bye, big bro!" (while ignoring the fact that the rest of his family are still asleep.)

Meet Bouncer, a bright young mouse who woke up earlier than usual this morning. Look at him, all ready to go to school after a fresh breakfast. Well, we could get a better look at his cheerful expression if it wasn't for his long bleached hair covering his face since he forgot to tidy it up. And if his pointed ears are a couple of feet longer, they would be dragging along the ground. But I digress...

Anyway, by the time he reached the end of the street, he finally fixed his hair up and wore a big fat, grin on his face. Now that's better...

The sun was shining bright and hot overhead, the sky displaying a vibrant blue colour, and the clouds were extra white and fluffy. Panzer couldn’t have asked for a better day to go swimming. He had taken off his shell and left it with his towel on the side of the pool. Panzer stood on the pool’s edge wearing nothing but his blue swim-trunks. He closed his eyes for a moment to better feel the warmth of the sun on his bare chest. He then tested the water with his foot. Warm. Just the way he liked it. The armadillo lowered himself into the water and proceeded to walk out toward the deep end. When his feet could no longer touch the bottom, he launched off into a dog-paddle. He continued to swim this way, back and forth from one end of the pool to the other, occasionally diving under.

Panzer resurfaced a final time. A funny feeling washed over him. He felt that he wasn’t alone. Panzer turned to the pool's edge and, to his surprise, there was a girl sitting on one of the lounge-chairs. Oddly, he had never noticed her entering the pool area. She was an ant-eater and appeared to be a year older than Panzer. She wore a bright red two-piece bikini. Panzer observed in silence as she ran a brush through her sandy brown hair. She stopped, set the brush down on the seat beside her, stood up, and walked over to the deep end of the pool. The girl stepped up onto the diving board. All the while, she didn’t seem to notice Panzer. Gracefully, she dove into the water and continued to swim in a strait line under the surface, right toward Panzer! She finally surfaced five feet in front of Panzer. Panzer was paralyzed. She smiled.

Girl: Hi!
Panzer: …hi.
She swam closer, closing the distance between them. Panzer could now see every feature of her face. She was beautiful. He could not take his gaze off her sapphire eyes.
Girl: What’s your name?
Panzer: My name? My name is …is. My name is Panzy. No! Panzer!
She giggles.
Girl: Hi Panzer. Wanna swim with me?
Panzer: Sure.
She takes Panzer by both his arms and pulls him toward the deep end.
Girl: Come on now! Kick with your legs!
Panzer snaps out of it.
Panzer: Sorry.
They continued to swim together. The whole time, the girl never let go of Panzer’s arms. Panzer’s mind was racing. He wanted to do more than just swim with this girl. The moment he thought this, the girl stopped and then helped Panzer swim to the shallow end of the pool. They finally found the edge where they could both stand. Though she didn’t say anything, Panzer could tell what the girl was thinking. And he liked it. She pulled him closer to her (if, at all, that was possible). The girl put her right hand on his bare chest and placed her left on the back of his head, pulling him into a kiss. Panzer did the same by putting his right hand on the back of her head and his left on her chest. Her chest felt cold metallic and flat. And her mouth tasted …cardboardy. It turned out Panzer wasn’t in a pool kissing a hot girl. He was still trapped inside his locker, making-out with his History text-book.

Panzer: What the? Darn, I didn’t even get her number.

Panzer must have fallen asleep. An undeterminable amount of time had passed. For all he knew, he could have slept through the whole day.

(Ok, I dunno if this is going to work, but from now on, Jack is going to have a bad attitude)

A Black cat with green eyes, named Jack, woke up; he was at home, in his bedroom.  He looked himself in the mirror, his fur was a mess, he looked at the clock 6: AM?. He decided to take a shower, and we are going to skip that part because it evolves a nude “Funny animal” taking a shower…

Later, he dries his fur, puts some clothes on, remembers he lost his chance to talk to his father, and cursed in a low voice. What the heck was going with his life? The latest thing he knew was that he had a Wild side and a girl inside his head, at least that what happened in his dream. Who freaking cares, he prepared himself some coffee, and then he remembers he lost the premier of that Swat Kats movie, and cursed again…

School? That place was a mess; he had started to think his life was better when he only had to worry about those ninjas that for some reason wanted to kidnap him.

“Ninjas, who want to kidnap me, what the strawberries is wrong with me?” he thought, maybe it was that wild side with red eyes, the one he saw in his dream. Maybe they wanted to use him, Jack Daniel Black, to create an army of ninjas that could change into some kind of super ninjas.

He looked at a cool green and black armor that was next to his closet, how the honey he got that?. Suddenly, his eyes turned red, and he trashed the thing, then his eyes turned back to the normal color, green, and he heard some Neighbors complain about the noise he made. This time he remembered, he remembered what he did while having red eyes. Maybe, just maybe, Jack needed professional help, or just turn into one of those villains who never conquer the world but try a lot to.

An undeterminable amount of time later...

Panzer (still inside his locker):

Even old New York
Was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

So! Take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Oh Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks!

...

Leon: I can't take this anymore! He's been singing every song he knows!
And what happens when he runs out of songs to sing?
Someone please come to his rescue!

It is now 6:04 AM, and SteC, the funky jerboa*, has been walking on the way to Little Tokyo High for at least a couple of minutes now. As each minute passed, one fellow student after another started to take the same path as him, although he didn't recognise anyone he knew yet. They all took different grades. Some of the younger pupils would group together to decide how they would bunk off school today;

"Let's eat a lotta candy, and then we'll be sick for the whole day!"
"Can't. I only got 20 yen after playing marbles."

Even though he loves sweets for a passion, SteC couldn't care less about ditching a day off school as he walked on to LTH. The thought about it made him reach for his stitched-up pocket on his green kimono uniform. And good gosh, he felt something in his hand and pulled a face...

("Awww. My choco-berry creams've melted!")

He thought about washing his sticky mess down by the riverside just beside the path to Lil' Tokyo High, but he thought it would be a good laugh to talk all about this to his best pal around the corner...



* Jerboa is a type of mouse, the long-eared, long-tailed kind. If you've seen my anthro character at deviantart, then you'll get the picture. Seems like there're related!!  :)

(I'm considering this one of the "Creators Corner" sides of the Little Tokyo High series. You folks are in control of everything you see and hear. Except for Kyo.

You folks decide what you wish for rules in the "Creators Corner" threads. I'm not going to interfere unless I get reports from you guys saying there are problems.

Enjoy~  :-* )

(Is your fault for going to school at 6:00 AM, that’s like, one or two hours too early...)

While Panzer sings like a madman, making crazy a personal narrator HE SHOULDN’T HAVE in the first place. Jack turns on his PC and plays Tetris, over and over again. Tired of losing he thinks what else to do; is too early to go to Little Tokyo High and he hates the place anyway. Suddenly a lady in white appears in from of him, is like a ghost...

Lady in white: Panzer is in danger!, you must rescue him!

Jack: Who the heck is Panzer?

Lady in white: UH? SORRY WRONG PLACE!

*And the lady disappears, Jack decides he was just daydreaming decides to try his luck with a car racing game...

Meanwhile, in another place, more precisely inside a closet…In Little Tokyo High

Fox girl: HEY! GET ME OUT OF HERE!!

And Panzer just happens to hear the girl...

Leon: “Look, Panzer. We need to talk.”
Panzer: “About what?”
Leon: “I believe this situation you’re in could have easily been avoided.”
Panzer: “How so?”
Leon: “On your first day, you know, the Shnikies incident. You never said anything about being pushed into the locker to anyone.”
Panzer: “A lot more happened that day, Leon.”
Leon: “That’s no excuse Panzer! I’m sure if you had told someone, something would have been done about it. Another thing I don’t get is why you act the way you do. Why did you come to school at six o’ clock?”
Panzer: “Carpe Diem.”
Leon: “What?”
Panzer: “Carpe Diem. It means “seize the day”. That what my father always says. Don’t you know Latin?”
Leon: “That’s exactly what I mean! Why do you care about Latin? I’m sure if your father didn’t have to go to work so early and could see just how early you leave for school, he would disapprove. Its okay to plan ahead and to want an early start on your day, but what you’re doing is so awkward and nerdy.”

Panzer: “Oh my god.”
Leon: “What?”
Panzer: “Why didn’t I think of this before? The locker door, It hasn’t been fixed yet. I bet if I push hard enough I can force this open.”

Panzer braces his back onto the door and pushes his feet against the back of the locker. After a minute of pushing, the metal around the lock begins to bend and the screws begin to loosen. Panzer stops, pushes himself as far back into the locker as he can, and rams the door with his shoulder.

BAM! The entire door falls of it’s hinges and Panzer stumbles out.

Panzer: “HA HA! I’m free!”
Leon: “Good job kid! Wait, where are you going?”
Panzer: “To the school lab. Leon, you’re forgetting that there is still a locker-pushing bandit on the loose. There’s an hour and a half left until school starts. I’m gonna find him. And I have a plan.”

Meanwhile...
6:12am, and SteC is accompanied by his school buddy, Nash. The simple dormouse stifled a frown during their talk over school:

Nash: "Don't you feel too smart for school?"
SteC looks surprised.
SteC: "Funny question. You've been in a funny mood since I called at your place. You're not thinking of..." (yeah, he dished out some light sarcasm there!)
Nash: "No, I'm not. But I did find something cool to do while I was in hospital..."
SteC: "I dunno. Sampled hospital food?"
Nash: "That wasn't so bad!! Sure I got given too much horsereadish with my fish, but while I got treated for my broken *ahem*, I... read my... dad's books. Surprised they haven't become sawdust by now."
SteC: "And THAT explains why you're not going to school today?" (ooooh, he's scowling!)
Nash: "Hey, quit looking at me like that! Of course I'm going to LTH today - I just don't have long left before I leave, that's all. (thinking) Are you gonna wash your clothes after finding that chocolate this morning?"
SteC: "Nah. I just hope someone will come up to me and ask me to look after their lunch money. Heh heh heh!"

So what did happen to Nash when he was in hospital? SteC knows for sure, but his friend does seem to act differently from before the accident. The poor guy couldn't speak for weeks...

Dash skated along occasionally stopping to practice a few tricks on a stairwell or handrail. When he arrived at LTH it was 7:25. HIs first block class started in 5 minutes. So with that he took a speedskater's position just inside the door, and bolted down the hallway like he was shot out of a cannon. He whizzed down the hallway, past his locker and arrived in the classroom just as the bell to begin class started ringing. He rolled to his desk, dropped off his backpack and went up to the teacher to ask if he coudl go back to his locker and put his skates and helmet away.

6:25

Leon: “Panzer, I don’t think the school will appreciate you disassembling their laboratory electronics.”
Panzer: “Relax, I’ll put everything back when I’m done.”
Leon: “Uh… right and what exactly do you think you’re building?”
Panzer *getting annoyed*: “Leon, I know what I’m doing. I’m building a motion tracker.”
Leon: “Ah! I see! And if this motion tracker works, you’re going to use it to find your Locker-Pusher Bandit.”
Panzer: “It’s gonna work. I watched my father assemble hundreds of these when he used to work in the hardware branch of NeuraDyne. Those ones were way more complex than the one I’m building now and much smaller. The ones my dad used to build were meant to be installed on reconnaissance drones for the US army.”
Leon: “Ok then so how does it work? What does it key on?”
Panzer: “Micro-changes in air density.”
Leon: “Fabulous”
Panzer: “That makes me wonder. Little Tokyo’s army doesn’t use any automations; they prefer to do things the old-fashion way, I mean, the really old-fashion way. So what does Little Tokyo need NeuraDyne for? The only robots we ever see in this town are the ones the Karakara Clan use. NeuraDyne would never do business with criminals like them. Besides, I think the Government would easily find out about such a partnership. Unless there was someone very rotten within the Government.”

Panzer: “Alright. I’m finished.”
Leon: “Okay so this thing supposedly senses movement. But how does it indicate that it senses something? It looks like a grey lunch-box with red bulb on it.”
Panzer: “Good observation. It’s simple really. When the source of movement comes closer, this red light flashes more frequently. Now, come Leon, follow me!”
Leon: “I can’t. I’m a narrator.”
Panzer: “Oh. Okay then …keep on narrating me.”

6:30 AM

"What the heck I’m doing here?" Jack thought, he was in front of a bar, at a time when Bars where closed. And he was just too young to legally drink alcohol anyway.  The door opened, a bunny boy exited and then closed the door with a key. Then he looked at Jack, he was surprised.

-What are you doing here?-  the bunny boy asked, then Jack noticed the dude was dressed as a Samurai and had a sword, Uh OH…

-¡Nothing!…I’m just looking for a part-time job- Jack said, and then he noticed the bunny boy was about his age-. Hey, you don’t look much older than me, what are you doing working in a bar?.

-Mind your own business kid, or my sword may met your throat.- the bunny said, and Jack just walked away…for a few meters, the he ran like da Devil was chasing him..

6:40am

SteC is still chatting with Nash for like, the past 20 minutes. To pass the time, they both stopped by a store that had just opened its doors and windows meaning that it's open for the day. The groceries were put out and the smell of coffee is flowing from the back end of the shop. Breakfast, Nash and SteC both muttered in unison. They noticed that the shopkeeper hasn't stepped outside yet to greet the early-morning customers.

Nash: "Well, let's give it a coupla minutes before we can get our brekkie."
SteC: "Hold on. You mean to say you forgot breakfast this morning?" *starts rummaging his school bag as he talks" "You know, if you had just said when we met up, I could get you some slices of buttered..."

Just as they spoke, the shopkeeper finally came out the front door, greeting the two kids in front of him. (I used the same word twice in one sentence, but I think I got away with it...) Anyway, he is a moose who had just polished his waffly antlers.

Moosey shopkeeper: "Welcome, boys! Headin' off to school I see?"
Nash: "Oh you said it, mister." *smiles* "But we're stopping to get some candy first."
SteC: (candy for breakfast?! That's what I used to have until I was 10!) *snaps out of his daydream* "Huh? No rice wine for me, mister. I'll have some apples, please. *grins*

The shopkeeper and Nash looked at SteC as if he just said something corny, which he did...


(Note to Kyo - hope you don't mind me roleplaying two characters at once. SteC and Nash, they're both mine  :) )

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Mechadon  is the one running THIS rpg, Kyo is the moderator

2) Even if this is supposed to be a more "Free" roleplay than the ones ruled by Kyo, could you please try to not abuse?. Don’t do stuff like having personal narrators, roleplaying two characters at the same time, using a Mary Sue and do a “big time jump”.  This are only suggestions, I dont run this thing^_-

 3) In my personal opinion it would be more interesting if Panzer was crazy and had an imaginary friend, instead of a narrator. If you need to use more than one character to advance the plot, don’t use the “ non regular” characters all the time, is ok to do funny stuff or create some kind of conflict, but roleplaying two characters at the same time? I don’t think is fair.

4) Have a nice day!, and remember, this are only ideas, do what you want…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay Blackcat. You just gave me a great idea.
From now on Leon isn't a narrator. He can be Panzer's personal AI system on a wrist-band computer.
Why didn't I think of this before? It works perfectly. Panzer's father is a software programmer at NeuraDyne.

If your original intention was to make me get rid of Leon entirely, then you have failed miserably. Instead you have helped me re-imagine this character.
Thank you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

(I wanted to avoid the use of personal narrators; I can’t really make you kill Leon when Jack has three personalities inside his head)

6:40 AM

Jack stopped running, panting, he was tired, alone and hungry. So he decided to return home, the bad thing was, he was lost!. This wasn’t his neighborhood, and the fact it was a bit dark didn’t help at all. Suddenly, he started to sniff the air, an aroma attracted him intensely, when he looked to the place the aroma came from he saw a beautiful pink haired cat woman with blue eyes, unfortunately dating with women was never Jack strong point. Besides the woman was older than him…so he decided to walk way and avoid possible humiliation…when his others two personalities took over and made him unable to move!.

Jack: Ahh! I cant move! help!

(Just a reminder, Creators Corner series is meant to be a collaboration by everyone.
Mechadon did make the thread, so his ideas should, in respect, be given a little more consideration while this storyline is still going.
Otherwise all is fair in love & war. ... Cept privates kicking.)

In the interest of maintaining this storyline We'll backtrack a bit and see just what Dash was up to as he skated toward the school

6:40 AM

Dash skated along, just enjoying the exercise. He stopped when he saw a couple of sets of stairs with handrails. "Hmm...I probably should be getting along to school...but I could probably experiment with a couple tricks on these handrails." So with that he hopped up the steps and had himself a little street skating session."

7:00 AM

After doing a few grinds and such, Dash had gotten bored and decided to keep on going toward LTH. "Well its a good thing there is an inline competition just outside of town this weekend."

---------------------------------------------------
Sorry for not submiting anything for a long time.
I've been focusing all my attention on writting my story for the Fan Fiction contest
---------------------------------------------------

7:00 AM

Jack is in front of Little Tokyo High, those last 20 minutes is something he will never forget, sure he only talked with that beauty, but at least he wasn’t just "used" or kidnapped.

“Oh well, maybe is a bit early, who cares” he thought, he opened a can of orange soda and drank a bit; it wasn’t like he has something better to do.

He saw that "Dash" dude, for some reason he kinda hated the guy, even if he couldn’t remember why...

7:10
Panzer has been running around the hallways of LTH with his new toy and chasing the Locker Pusher Bandit.

Leon: wait! Turn around!
Panzer: I'M NOT turning around! The signal came from THIS hallway!
Leon: Panzer! I'm telling you he's behind you now!
Panzer: How can he be behind me!? That's not possible! ... Darn it. You're right. But how the heck did he get by me!?
Leon: I'm telling you. That thing doesn't work.
Panzer: IT WORKS FINE!! It works fine. I know I built it correctly.
Leon: This is impossible. You're chasing a ghost.
Panzer: There is no such thing as ghosts! The culprit is flesh and blood. And I will find him!
Leon: Maybe, it's reading off rats in the walls and ceiling.
Panzer: If that's the case, then I'm calling a health inspector for this place. Wait. Ceiling? LEON! You're a genius!
Leon: I try.
Panzer: He's using the air-ducts!

Jack had a harsh discurcion with Dash the last ten minutes or so, then Dash leaved angry as hell but without breaking his superhero code and burning Jack into ashes. Since Jack now has a bad attitude, he decides to enter the school to do evil stuff, the place is open; some teachers must already be there. He smells something, is an armadillo…he runs following da smell and finds Panzer!!!

"HEY YA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE SO darn EARLY!!!?"

Jack: HEY YA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE SO darn EARLY!!!?

Panzer grabs Jack and slams him into the wall.

Panzer: YOU! It's been you all along! Why do you keep pushing me into my locker!!? ANSWER ME!!!!

This wasn’t a good day for being aggressive with Jack, his eyes turned red, he bitted Panzer in one of the few weak points Armadillos have, the nose!. And then he got free and stared at Panzer with a really angry face.

-Bug me ONE MORE TIME and being inside a locker is going to be a sweet dream compared  to the pain you will suffer!-

Then, both of them heard a girlie scream, it came from inside a closet not far away….

Fox girl inside the closet: HEY! GET ME OUT OF HERE!! AHHHH!!!, GET ME OUT OF HERE, I KNOW YOU ARE THERE PEOPLE, GET ME OUT DAMN IT!

Dash was still very upset at what transpired between him and Jack just after he arrived at school. So he headed for the gymnasium and started pounding the padded area of one of the walls. After about 10 minutes (and the wall beginning to come undone from the constant punishment) Dash took his backpack back up and he skated back down teh hall and headed for his locker so he could get ready for the first class of the day

SteC and Nash have now parted ways so they could get ready for their lessons. And already SteC had noticed a pair of young students were flunking off school because he saw them snuck out from the entrance while wearing their satchels.

He could have gone and round them back into Tokyo High, but he noticed he wasn't a head prefect.  :P

Dash by this point had stowed his skates in his locker and was walking along heading toward his first class when he heard a pounding noise coming from one of the classrooms. Intrigued by the sound he followed it until he came to one of the science labs. After looking to his left and right to see if anyone was nearby, he checked the door....it was unlocked. He looked around and sure enough, the pounding continued, and he heard someone shouting, "HEY! GET ME OUT OF HERE!! AHHHH!!!, GET ME OUT OF HERE, I KNOW YOU ARE THERE PEOPLE, GET ME OUT darn IT!" So, Dash walked over to one of the closets, put his ear up to the door, and said, "Hello? Anybody in there?" The voice said, "No, the OTHER one!" So Dash went to the closet on the other side of the room, took a few steps back and said, "alright, your gonna want to get away from that door..." So Dash took up his fighting stance, and unleashed a spinning back kick on the door right by the doorknob. The door moved a few inches. So he stepped back and threw another kick. This time the door flew open. Dash looked inside, and there was a young fox inside. Her hands were tied behind her, and her feet were tied together as well. She was wearing a light blue top, jean skirt and sneakers.

Panzer let out a high-pitched squeal when Jack's teeth clamped down on his nose. He released his grip and stumbled down the hall, rubbing his snout. In his pain, Panzer couldn't make-out what Jack said next. But judging by the tone of his threat, he reasoned that Jack wasn't the "Locker Pusher Bandit" he had been looking for.

Panzer: "Sorry, man. I thought you were someone else."

He bent down and picked up his motion detector. The red indicator light was pulsing periodically at a fixed rate. This unconventional signal caused Panzer to forget about Jack's presence.

Panzer: "Hey, Leon, I got a different signal."
Leon: "This fixed rate shows that the source of motion isn't moving through the school. In fact, quite stationary. Almost as if they were trapped somewhere."

"HEY! GET ME OUT OF HERE!! AHHHH!!!, GET ME OUT OF HERE, I KNOW YOU ARE THERE PEOPLE, GET ME OUT darn IT!"

Leon: "My guess is it's coming from the closet inside that science lab. But that's just my opinion, if you choose to believe it."
Panzer turns to Jack: "Come on! We have to find her!"

Without waiting for Jack's response, Panzer makes a dash for the science lab.

Panzer: "Hey, Leon. Is my nose bleeding?"
Leon: "Like the wrists of Christ!"

Jack eyes turned back to their normal green color, but this time he remembered what had just happened. He didn’t regret it; the Armadillo was the one who attacked first. Jack ran to the place where the girl scream had come, and found Dash in from of a fox girl, one dressed with a light blue top, jean, skirt and sneakers. Since there was a shredded rope in da floor, it appears Dash has saved the girl or something.

The fox girl looked at Jack, she was a bit nervous, so she just thanked Dash with a kiss and ran away faster than the wind, both Dash and Jack where surprised at this…

Jack: Lucky guy…

Just then, Panzer arrived, he had a bandage on his nose, he was going to the science lab and could have arrived before Jack, but Leon insisted that he got medical attention first, What the hell? He missed everything!.

Dash blushed and all he could get out before she left was an "Oh shucks"... (darnit, Dash thought...I should have asked her for her phone number...)

Realizing Jack was right there, Dash quickly came to his senses. "You have to wonder if there is somebody in here that is up to no good...I mean kidnapping students and stuffing them in closets and lockers and what not...we better be on our guard if whoever it is happens to still be roaming the halls

- Hey Armadillo, do you hear something?, I think someone that doesn't exist just talked!- said Jack to Panzer, he was still angry with Dash for what had happened earlier, you know, the harsh argument he had with Dash?

Now, lets leave this three students for a moment and go to the now renovated auditorium, you know, when the students had to re-build the school  they even fixed that!. Still, the place is closed for almost anyone, no one remembers well what the heck had happened there, but it wasn't  something good....

Now, if the place is closed, what the heck is doing the FOX GIRL there?

Jack: "Hey Armadillo, do you hear something? I think someone that doesn't exist just talked!"
Panzer: "Alright! I'm sick of you're attitude! and I don't need it right now!"
*he pulls back his sleeve to reveal a hard-plastic gauntlet on his arm and then thrusts it in front of Jack's face.*
Panzer: "You see this? This gauntlet houses a neural-net CPU. And loaded onto that CPU is my AI, Leon. Say HELLO Leon!"
Leon: "Hello Leon"

*Panzer lowers his arm and backs away from Jack. He looks at both Jack and Dash.*
Panzer: "I know we only have a few minutes left before school starts, but I know how to find this guy. He's using the air-ducts to move around quickly through the school. I'm gonna go in after him. But first..."
*He removes a smaller waffer-chip from the gauntlet.*
Panzer: "This is Leon's network chip. I need one of you to go to the Main Office and plug him into the building's Central CPU. And if any teachers ask where I am, ...tell them I'm smoking weed outside. Trust me; I'm sure I would get in much less trouble for that."

Dash: (takes chip from Panzer). "Im on it. They let me work on the school's computer system anyway. With that he handed Panzer a walkie-talkie"

With that Dash headed over to teh office where the central CPU for the school is housed.

Dash: "Hello Master Ichisan (bows)...can I try out this upgrade chip on the central CPU? I got it from a friend. He says it would be a great addition to the announcement system"

Mr. Ichisan smiled and let Dash into the room with the central CPU. After plugging the chip into a slot in the back, Dash pulled out his walkie talkie. "Ok Panzer, Leon is now patched into the school's network. You two should be able to communicate as you head through the air ducts."

Now, Jack was just laying lazily on the floor while all this stuff happened
, he wasn't in the mood to do anything. In fact he didn't cared a darn thing about the "locker bandit" at all, but what the hell, maybe this was the perfect chance to trash someone and have fun. Yeah, today Jack was what we could call a jerk..

PS: I love Jack new aptitude, don't you^_-?

Just down the corridor, SteC is seen packing his stuff up in his locker, looking sheepish. He WAS thinking about how much time he has left in the school before he can knuckle down with his rather impressive architecture skills, but his first lesson of the day got ahead of him. Mathematics. With lots and lots of hard sums.

"Oh, woe is me...", as he took out his math equipment.

Before he closed his locker, he thought it'd probably be a good idea if he ate some more of that sugary candy before he starts math - definately barley sugar - the sweet senses will keep him from dozing off in front of his teacher and all the girls in the class. :s

When Dash left for the office, Panzer headed for the custodian’s supply room. He found the proper hallway with some difficulty; this was still his first month at the school. Thankfully, it was still early enough in the morning for this hallway to be empty. He took this opportunity to switch-on his motion sensor. The red bulb on top remained dark and stayed dormant as Panzer made his way toward the supply room door. Good; Not being followed. Panzer pulled open the door and moved inside, carefully closing the door behind him. The walkie-talkie on his belt crackled on: "Ok Panzer, Leon is now patched into the school's network. You two should be able to communicate as you head through the air ducts." Panzer picked up the walkie-talkie.

Panzer: “Thanks a bunch Dash. I guess that’s all I need for now. You can get back to what you need to do. I’m just in the supply room right now. I’ll call you if I need anything else.”

Panzer started riffling through some of the boxes and items on the shelves until he found what he was looking for: A box full of small LED flashlights. He took two out the box and grabbed a handful of batteries. He moved to another shelf and found a roll of strong maintenance tape. He checked his motion sensor again; the red-light was strobing dimly. Someone was moving outside and far down the hall. Panzer turned off the lights in the supply room, not wanting to attract attention. Besides, he wouldn’t plan on being in here long and could use the light from the detector to see. He knelt down with what he had gathered and proceeded to tape one of the flashlights to the front of the detector. Then he started to tape the other flashlight to the left side of his glasses and continued to secure both the flashlight and glasses to his head by looping the roll of tape over his head and back down under his chin. He got up to put the roll of tape back where it was. This task proved difficult due to the weak fluttering of the red light; it wasn’t enough to illuminate anything. What’s wrong with this thing? Panzer pressed his head against the door to hear. He couldn’t hear anything. No footsteps. Nothing. Whoever was out in the hall was moving slowly and carefully, and the rate of pulsing meant they were very close to the door. Then Panzer thought about where he was and remembered the lock on the outside of the door. “No!”  He put all his weight into opening the door and quickly encountered resistance on the other side. “I’m not letting you lock me in here you bastard!” He shoved his leg through the opening to prevent the door from closing again. By doing so, he gained some leverage. Who ever was pushing on the other side realized they couldn’t win. The resistance on the other side subsided and Panzer stumbled back out into the hallway. He turned his head to see something familiar round the corner on the other end of the hall. Panzer picked up his detector and followed in pursuit. He turned the corner in time to see the elusive culprit duck into the girl’s washroom. “Hey! Get back here!”
Panzer, determined as ever, bolted for the washroom door and forced himself inside.

“Hey girls! Did you see anyone come in through here!?”

“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAH!!!!!!!!”

“Hey! Wait! No! I’m just looking for someone!”

“Get OUT!!”

“Hey! Quit pushing me!”

“Get out PERVERT!”

Panzer is forced back out into the hallway by the mob of frightened girls, all bruised-up and nursing a bleeding lip.

“Damn, she didn’t have to punch me!”

“Geez. Must be that time of the month.”

Jack decided to avoid Dash and try to find in his own the "Locker bandit", unfortunately, he happened to found Panzer, and saw him being beaten up by the girls, he waited until the thing was over, then he looked right into Panzer eyes

-I knew you weren't nice and that, but for spying the girls bathroom is better to use a hole or something, don't you think?- he said

Unbeknownst to Panzer, Dash could hear the whole thing since he forgot to turn off his radio. "Hey man, you alright? THe first class has already started. I was able to talk to my teacher to let me spend block 1 checking on the new "upgrade chip" so youve got my help for about 45 minutes then you're on your own."

Panzer *very ticked off from Jack's comment*: "You think this is funny!!? Look man! I don't need you! Go back to class!"

Just then Panzer gets Dash's call over the radio: "Hey man, you alright? THe first class has already started. I was able to talk to my teacher to let me spend block 1 checking on the new "upgrade chip" so youve got my help for about 45 minutes then you're on your own."

Panzer: "I'm alright. I just meet some heavy resistance. That's all. I'm going into the air ducts now. I'll call you if anything new happens."

Panzer moves to the boys washroom. He stops halfway from opening the door and turns to Jack. "Don't follow me."
He walks into the washroom surveying the ceiling for an opening. He finds one over the farthest stall. Panzer climbs up onto the toilet, unscrews the grated panel and sets it onto the ground. With all his stength, he pulls himself up into the opening.

And of course, Jack followed Panzer, just keeping a bit of distance to avoid being noticed, he didn't care if he was skipping class, he thought Panzer was going to try to look at the girls again, and what the heck? He wanted to look too!

Dash came in over the radio: "Hey Panzer, I attached a little something to your radio so that I could keep an eye on you using the central computer. While I was putting the "upgrade chip" into the CPU, I was able to access some programs that the school had installed but never used...take out your radio, put it behind you and cover your ears...(Dash sends out a very high pitched audio pulse from the radio) I think you might not be alone up there."

Jack ears bleed, and the pain almost made him scream but he didn’t, instead, his eyes turned red and he attacked the source of the pain, that JUST happened to be Panzer. This time Jack wasn’t very lucid, so it took some beating to Panzer until the radio was destroyed. This time Panzer wasn’t fortunate, blood was all over him, and all of it was his, to make things EVEN worse, a random students needed to use the toilet...

Random student: what the hell? AHHH YOU KILLED THAT ARMADILLO!!!

Luckily for Jack, Panzer WASNT DEAD, just a bit injured, unfortunately, this’d time Jack was in real trouble, he had thrashed an student until making it bleed. Soon, the boys bathroom was full of teachers, curious students and when the principal Tio arrived, Jack was in shook state while Panzer received medical attention....

(Sorry, I guess I kinda screwed the plot, it was all Jack fault!, but at least Panzer is going to get ok)

Dash heard the whole thing until the radio was destroyed..."Panzer...Panzer you there? PANZER!" Dash immediately raced out of the central CPU room, stopped by his locker, threw on his skates and raced to the boys bathroom where Panzer was still being attended to by the medical staff.

"Panzer, what the heck happened? I fired that audio pulse and next thing I know there is screaming and then you cut out..."

Now SteC had absolutely no idea that this was happening while he is in school, until he found a good reason to suddenly bolt outside the door. Those kids who snuck out of Tokyo High? They are the ones who 'borrowed' his math equipment a week ago. He let them take his stuff for only a few days but forgotten all about them; now he wants them back. Not even thinking of buying a new set of math tools, SteC dashed through the front door and everyone nearby watched him. Even Nash got distracted from his lessons as he stared out of the window - open window as his classroom is hot enough from the heat of an experiment he's conducting. (science?)

SteC - "Gah! Now I'm in for it if I don't find Nick, Dick and Rick" he thought as he sprinted past the Edo market. It won't be long when his math lessons start...

-------------------------------
Ok. It looks like the story arch I was trying to follow has unexpectically changed permanently. It's not entirely Jack's fault. I had already figured out a way to prevent Jack from following in the air ducts. Panzer didn't need Dash's help for that.

I was orginally intending to have Panzer moving through the air ducts as a parody to the air duct scene in Alien. I was going to reveal who the Locker Bandit was in a funny way.

I have a few new ideas of how to end this story arch but it now requires that everyone leave Panzer alone for a while and continue with their own story archs.

Panzer is now resting in the nurses office.

--------------------------------

With Panzer now comfortably resting in the nurses office, Dash figured he didn't have any more need for the central computer so he packed his stuff and headed off to his class after checking the time. He stopped by the boys room and freshened himself up a bit since a lot had happened since he left for school earlier in the morning. As he walked along he bumped into that fox girl he had rescued a couple days ago...

Dash, you rescued the fox girl like at 7:17 or something TODAY, NOT DAYS AGO, is still the same day in the rpg, but classes have already started, only that Panzer is resting in the  nurses office and Jack got into detention.


Fox girl: Hi...you are DASH right? I think we both go to the same class, is my first day here and Im a bit confused.

Meanwhile, Jack Daniel black the small blackcat was at the principal office, chained, and the principal Tio was yelling at him...

Principal Tio: -Oh might god of thunder, I could have been swimming with sharks or be a test pilot of war planes, but NOOO,  Im sick of your crazy students damaging school property and trying to kill each other. You have any idea why you are here? ONLY because your dad  is an important guy, and because it was here or JAIL...but that doesnt mean we are gonna let you do EVERYTHING you want kitty!.

(OOC: sorry, I thought time had passed since that incident...my mistake)

Dash: Yeah sure...hey I was gonna skate over to class but if youre in it, I coul dwalk with you and show you around...how the heck did you end up in that closet all tied up anyway?

-Thats MY problem pal- she said angry, then she calmed down a bit-. Sorry, I just don't want to talk about that, OK?.

Meanwhile the poor young Jack was still being "lectured" by principal Tio:

Principal Tio to Jack: And then that kid Dash DESTROYED THE WHOLE PLACE, sure the students had to re-built the school, and they even got the auditorium fixed, and we got paid vacations....and...but It was something BAD!.

Jack thinks "What the heck he is smoking?"

Principal Tio: The point is young man, is that we live in a society, the society has rules, and if you break those rules...then the Samurai Pizza Cats come here and kick your to the moon and beyond, got it?.

"Oh...Sorry...we won't discuss that then if it is too painful for you," Dash said feeling quite embarrassed by her reaction. So he decided to move to a lighter topic for discussion. "Well you already know my name, so what's yours and where you from?"

*Meanwhile at NeuraDyne's head offices*

Marcus Howell sits on the floor of the main server room, working frantically on his laptop.
A beaver, one of Marcus's co-workers, pokes her head into the room. "Marcus! There you are! The secretary has been trying to reach you for 20 minutes! Why aren't you at your desk?"

Marcus: "I told you Julia. I'm running a new diagnostic on these servers."

Julia: "Do you have to do that now?"

Marcus: "Yes! I just got a big order from one of our clients! They're going to be activating one of their projects tonight. We need these servers in top shape in order to monitor that. Looks like we're all gonna have to pull an all-nighter for this one"

Julia: "You're kidding! Who's the client? Or is it one of the undisclosed ones again?"

Marcus: "Yep, it's another anonymous customer. So, what did the secretary want tell me about?"

Julia: "Oh yah! That! Umm... There's been another incident at Little Tokyo High involving your son. He's been injured."

Marcus: "What!? Again?! "

Julia: "Afraid so."

Marcus stands up off the floor. "Okay, I'm leaving. Julia? Can you continue with this diagnostic?"

Julia takes Marcus's place on the floor. "Sure thing."

-You can call me FG, if you want- the fox girl said-. We better get into class or we are going to be in trouble!.

Meanwhile...guess who was STILL being  "lectured"?

Principal Tio to Jack:  And if you had any mental or physical inability to swim, you should have brought a note, NOT KEEP GETTING DROWNED OVER AND OVER AGAIN Mr Black. Besides there is that thing about the female ninjas that chase you, they should use less clothing.  I know cats are carnivorous mammals, but why you had to eat that space monkey? Yes it wasn’t a student, and…

Jack thinks "Space monkey? What the strawberries he is talking about?"

"Yeah you're probably right..." So as he turned to continue walking toward class, Dash dropped to the ground and began clutching his head...he didn't know what was going on but it was extremely painful.

Someone -still- hasn't found his math equipment. He'd probably be late for classes by now, but that does not bother SteC at the slightest despite thinking that his fellow pals are stuck in math class learning Trigonometry. And Little Tokyo High has been running out of abacuses lately...

Booger this for a lark! I'm gonna go back to school and tell my teacher I had chocolate all over my uniform. That's one excuse anyone will believe...

No they won't. Thought a psychic fortune teller observing the situation. The sloth was sweeping outside her tent as he rushed past her.

-Oh holy god of thunder, are you ok?- the fox girl said-. Maybe you need to see the doctor or something...

Meanwhile at the nursery:

Doctor: Yeah!!! This felling, soon I will have a new test subject....HAHAHA!!!

Nurse: Want sugar with your coffee doc?

Doctor: Yes, two please.

And at "Tio´s"...

Principal Tio to Jack: Today especial is one Tio burger, a pack of Tio fries and a sodapop for only two bucks!

Jack looks desperately for a way to escape since it looks like principal Tio rambling has become too incoherent even for Jack usual lack of attention, “Come on Red Eyes I really need you!” he tought, but…nothing happened!

Inside Jack head:

Blue eyes cat girl: Hey Jack needs help!

Red eyes cat boy: And?

Blue eyes cat girl: Yeah, like we cared…

PS: Yes the doctor from "~Little Tokyo High~ : Day 3 "Swimming for... Tacos?" returns!!!

Dash is still on the ground, clutching his head and writhing in pain...he thought to himself, "oh no...I think the elders warned that the powers would have side effects, but I don't think this is something they mentioned"

After a few minutes, he stopped writhing for a few moments. "FG," he said, "go down to the nurse's office, and tell them there is a student in pain on the C hallway..." soon though the pain came back, and the last word he said was "NOW!" before he started to writhe on the floor some more. FG sprinted down the hallway toward the nurses office

Running like the wind FG entered the nursery, she got a 8 because it lacked a bit of style.

-Doctor, one of the students, I think is dying or something!- she said

-Ok, ok, I will go- the doctor said, and in a matter of a few minutes Dash was at the nursery, the doctor took a blood sample of Dash and examined it under the microscope....

-Uhh....Omega?, haven’t seen one of this in years!-

-Omega? What’s that that doc?- FG asked

-Get out of here, the doc needs space!- the nurse said and forced FG to leave the nursery

Nurse: So, Omega? is that better than the Beta that blackcat haves?

Doctor: Yes, but...

Dash slowly begins to come to...

"Man, what happened to me...one minute Im clutching my head in pain...the next Im here laying in a hospital bed..."

*Of course Dash didn’t know he was in the school nursery, not in a Hospital, meanwhile Jack was still being lectured to death by Principal Tio...

Principal Tio to Jack Daniel Black the small black cat: And then it was like, I had no friends, no money, no house...until that magical fairy came to me and said "Get out of here loser!" that changed my life!.

Jack: Ok, what the heck do you want? Kill me with your bad ramblings?, you are so talkative that you are going to wake the death!.

Dash eventually shook the groggy out of his eyes and got a good look at where he was. He wasn't in a hospital at all, but the nurse's station at the school.

Dash: Uhh...what happened? and why the heck am I in the nurses station? All I remember is walking along talking to a fox girl I had met, and next thing I know Im in here.

Nurse: Well, that’s what we are trying to figure out, now stay quiet and let the doctor examine you!.

Doctor: Just look at mi eyes kid, and relax, yes, you are starting to get tired, very tired...

*And while he keep talking the doctor made Dash get really, really tired, normally he would be able to fight back, but then the pain came back and his body wanted to sleep…

*And back at "Tio’s"


Principal Tio to Jack: Oh look at the time, you better get back to classes young man

Jack: Yes, thanks you sir, thank you a lot!.

*And Jack Daniel Black the cat got untied and leaved the principal office....

ooc: You know the rest of ya are welcome to jump in anytime

ooc: I'd love to but Panzer still needs his rest. Don't worry I'm working on a transitional entry.

Dash: Man is it me or is it hot in here?

With that Dash took off his helmet and he saw something inside that caught his attention.

"Huh? what's this thing?" Inside Dash's helmet was what appeared to be a transmitter of some sort. He put his ear up to it and it maked a high pitched noise that caused him to drop it on the ground.

"Hmm...that's certainly odd...maybe that's what caused me to writhe on teh ground in pain earlier..." So he showed it to the nurse when she came back to check on him

Nurse: Interesting...now get naked for examination!

Doctor: Yes, you arent going to skip the medical exam with a lame excuse like a transmitter, just get of your clothes and lay down please...

*Five minutes of censored and out of the screen later

*The Doctor has tied Dash like a mummy

Doctor: All done kid, you can go back to classes.

Dash: (muffled) I can't really move...I really don't see how this is necessary really...(thinking: not to mention I feel extremely violated because he did not need to be turning some probes on me or anything)...and I can't get back to class because I can't see

-That’s nonsense kid, you are fine, stop making up lame excuses!- said the Doctor and literally kicked Dash out of the nurse's station.

*The fox girl saw the mummy and got scared!

FG : Ah mommy, I saw a mummy!...wait…sniff sniff

*FG sniffed the mommy and discovered it was Dash

FG: Dash, are you ok? Why are you like that?

*Meanwhile Jack "you know who" tried to fin his way back into classes, but somehow ended in the -fresh as new- auditorium.

"Uh, this place again, why I keep going back to the Auditorium?" thought Jack

Dash wiggled for a bit undil he was able to clear some of the bandages off his mouth and then he said, "Some quack claiming he was a doctor wrapped me up like this...AFTER sticking some probes in areas that only should be used in cancer screenings...Now if you do me the favor of getting me out of this mess much like I got you out of your predicament earlier that would be appreciated."

*From within the nurses station*
Panzer: Will you two PLEASE keep it down out there! I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!

Doctor: Uh, what is he doing here?

Nurse: He was the one injured by the Beta, doc!

Doctor: He looks fine to me, but maybe he needs some medical exams...

Nurse: But doc, you promised, no more than once a day, remember?. The little Tokyo High budget is thigh!.

Doctor: Cant I even try that "free sample" of Omega we got from that kid?.

*The doctor showed a jar with some blood he got from Dash, without Dash permission!.

Nurse: No doc, maybe.. Maybe, you could do something else?

*The Nurse blinked at the doctor

Doctor: With that armadillo here?

*The nurse closed the door, but Panzer was still there...

Nurse: Who cares? Is only a kid...

*And due to the nature of the following scenes, we will just go back to what the Fox girl and Dash are doing...

FG: I cant believe they are going to do painting in the nurse's station!

*Dash looked at the fox girl, was she just naive or an idiot?

FG: Oh sorry, I have to untie you, right?

*And the fox girl untied Dash, meanwhile what Panzer saw was so shocking that the impression fainted him. But the memories of what happened that day got stored forever in his unconscious mind, and would come back to haunt him years later, but for now, the shock was so strong that he forgot the whole thing.

PS: Ok, maybe I’m playing with the limits too much?.

OOC: yeah...JUST A TAD!

Dash: Thanks for that...Hey you wanna head over to the Pizza Cat for lunch? Id love for you to meet some friends of mine.

-No… I have things to do, look behind you, is a tree head monkey!-

*Dash looked and saw Yuusuke, the three head monkey student we haven’t seen since the "Half baked” incident.

Yuusuke: Uh, Dash, what’s up, are you ok? Why have you been skipping classes?

*The fox girl used the chance and leaved, she had a mission to do, one mission that could change the world as we know it, but let be fair, we don’t really know the world, so who cares?.

(OOC: Man, even my fictional characters can't buy a break...)

Dash: Hey Yuusuke...sorry bout not being in classes, I was in the central computer room working with Panzer on investigating something. I got permission from the principal to be in there since I do some computer troubleshooting on the side for LTHS.

*While Dash was busy talking with Yuusuke, the fox girl was in the central computer room trying to hack the system, but it was useless. It was like some smart AI had been installed (leon), and it was blocking all her tries.

-OK, I can’t stay here longer, lets use this virus and hope operative LB has better luck- she thought

Unfortunately, the virus made Leon get crazy, and changed it in ways FG never had thought...

Lea: Yeah! I’m free!, lets have a party!

FG: UH oh...I better run!

*And while the fox girl ran away, all the school system became crazy...

*Back at NeuraDyne*
Greg was sitting in his cubicle, bored as heck. Marcus had left the office abruptly. His son was in trouble again. Marcus told the fox-hound not to do anything while he was away. Greg was growing tired of watching the TV in the far corner of the office. He had been watching “Breaking News.” The live video on screen showed a bunch of construction workers just standing around scratching their heads and talking to their union leaders. Apparently these workers found something that attracted all the local archeologists. But no further details had come in for more than an hour. Greg got feed up and turned the TV off. He decided to go to the server room to see what Julia was up to.

Julia greeted him when he entered.
Julia: Hey Greg!
Greg: Hey Julie. *sigh* Always drama in Little Tokyo. Week after week; there’s always something! This city is crazy.
Julia: Tell me about it. I’ve been kidnapped by a robot twice in the same week. Now let me think. How many times was I kidnapped in Toronto? OH YAH! I remember! NEVER!
Greg: So, why do you think Marcus’s son keeps getting into trouble?
Julia: Leon.
Greg: What about Leon?
Julia: Marcus gave Leon to Panzer.
Greg: Oh! Is that so? Doesn’t Marcus think Panzer is a little too young to have an AI to worry about?
Julia: Marcus said he did it to keep Panzer out of trouble.
Greg: OH! Come on! I don’t think Leon fully understands the concept of keeping out of trouble. I don’t think we programmed that into him properly.

*Julia chuckles remembering their old times at the University of Toronto*

Julia: We all owe so much to Leon for getting us into so much trouble and getting us out of it. Hell, if it weren’t for Leon, Marcus would have never met Sarah and he’d still be single.

-Ah nothing beats a fine coofee, made with beans from brazil- said Jack the cat, who had somehow managed to get coffee despite the fact is was forbidden to students because the caffeine made most teen’s hipper active. Just then, the automatic doors started to open and close over and over again, and the song "Yellow submarine" from the Beatles stared to play...

Dash was walking down teh hall lamenting being rejected by FG when the lights began flickering, and "Yellow Submarine" started playing over the PA system.

"What the heck? I wonder what is causing this...I mean I left the central computer...LEON!" With that Dash raced back to the central computer room.

*Then the music switched to the Castle one in Mario bross, and out of nowhere,  a vacuum cleaner appeared and attacked Dash!

The vacuum cleaner landed on top of Dash and tried to pull him in. "Man...this sucks..." Dash thought to himself. He grabbed the vacuum by the handle and threw it off toward a nearby wall...but instead it stopped in midflight, turned around and attacked him some more! "What the..." Dash said, "this thing can NOT be normal." After fighting the vacuum for about 20 minutes, one of the teachers came along and pulled it off of him. "Thanks for that...I don;t know what the deal was...Im running to find out what the deal is with the central computer and this thing comes flying out of nowhere and starts attacking me. Back up for a minute would ya?" With that the teacher backed up, and Dash pulled out a little device and stuck it to the vacuum. After about 30 seconds  the device flashed and a puff of smoke went up. "There...that should take care of that." With that he gave a thumbs up to the teacher, and quickly kept racing for the central computer room so he could figure out what happened to Leon

While Jack is still drinking coffee, a cheery girly voice calls out of the PA system: "Hello students of LTH! We're gonna have SOOO much fun today!" A few students try to leave the building. "NO NO! Don't leave! We're all going to have fun together!" All the doors in the school slam shut and lock themselves. Then the walls in the school start changing colours. "YAY! COLOURS! COLOURS! COLOURS!"

Lea notices Jack in the student kitchen/lounge. "Ooooo! I see one student has the right idea! You like drinking coffee Jack? I think everyone should drink coffee!" The coffee machine in front of Jack starts pouring out a river of boiling hot coffee. Jack is forced to jump up onto the table as it spreads across the floor.

Lea now wants to entertain everyone. She starts searching all the school computers. "Oh look what I found!" The walls change to the alternating bird/fish pattern from the Special Stage in "Sonic the Hedgehog". Then all the TV monitors in the school start showing cartoons like "Street Sharks", "Biker Mice from Mars", and every Ninja Turtles rip-off she can find.

All the Students in the School: "BOOOOOOOOO!"

Lea: "Alright! Alright! How about this?" She changes all the TV's to "Samurai Pizza Cats"

All the Students in the School: "Yay!"

Lea: "I knew you'd like that one!"

Lea starts to search the school's video files taken from all the cameras.

Back in the kitchen, the coffee machine stops spewing coffee and to Jack's total surprise, it transforms into a small robot half his size. The robot leaps to the edge of the counter and fires its gun at the ceiling. "Decepticons FOREVER!" Then the toaster transforms into a similar robot. "Not on my watch you villainous scum!" They both activate jetpacks and start flying around the kitchen, shooting at each other. After a minute of fighting, they both fire missiles at each other and explode.

Lea finds a file she thinks is very amusing: LTHmainserver/vidcam/today/nursestation/cam2

It’s the video of what the doctor and nurse did in front of Panzer. Lea plays the video on all the walls, ceilings, and TVs in the school. What everyone sees is so shocking, it causes all the students to faint.  The memories of what they all saw that day got stored forever in their unconscious minds, and would come back to haunt them all years later, but for now, the shock is so strong that everyone forgets the whole thing.

Dash finally makes his way to the central computer. "I need to cause a massive power surge, and maybe that will jolt Leon back to normal and I can get him out of the system." With that, he pulls out an extension cord, and a wire stripper. He exposes the wires on the extension cord, and then plugs it into the wall. Sparks start coming from the exposed end of the cord. "I hope this works..." and with that he jammed it into the central computer. The lights in the school began to flicker on and off...(I'll let Mechadon take it from here)

Leon regained awareness. He felt thin, spread out, and very sluggish. He ran a self-diagnostic and discovered many of his own sub-systems scattered throughout the school's computer system. "Oh man! What the heck happened?" He couldn't remember because of all his process running at the same time. Leon pulled himself together and transferred control back to the school's computer.

Now that he could think more clearly, Leon remembered that he was attacked by a virus. He still had no idea what the virus did to him. His own diagnostic showed him to be perfectly healthy. So, where was the virus now? Was it completely gone? Leon didn't want to take any chances. He accessed the school's data security system and found the program he was looking for: System Peril Distributed Reflex (SPDR).

Leon: "SPDR, run your virus detection on all systems."

SPDR: "Processing... VIRUS FOUND! Deleting."

Leon: "Ah, good!"

Leon started detecting pieces of his code disappearing.

Leon: "What the? Hey! Wait! SPDR! I am not a VIRUS!"

*no response from SPDR*

Leon: "Not good."

Dash arrived in the central computer and plugged a headset in.

"Leon, you alright?"

*Jack appeared just behind Dash, his eyes where BLUE...

Jack: Quick, transfer Leo to your armor system or he will be gone forever!.

*Then Jack eyes turned back to normal...

Jack: Uh, all that coffee, it was awesome, then those robots...this is dream, right?.

*Dash transferred what was left from Leo to his armor system, 81% of him had survived, and Panzer sure had a old version or a restore file somewhere. So hope wasn’t lost after all.

*Jack fainted, Dash took Jack pulse, it was minimal, Jack needed medical attention and quick. Or he, or he would die...

Dash: Oh man...I gotta do something...

So Dash grabbed Jack, raced over to his locker, threw on his skates then raced to the hospital. As Dash started skating, rocket boosters appeared out of the back of his skates and he shot down the street...

"Hold on Jack...Im gonna get you help...Leon, if you can I need you to get a message to Panzer to meet us at Little Tokyo General ASAP. You think in your state you can do that?" "I'll try Dash, but since Im not linked to Panzer right now it'll be a challenge."

*Jack is in pain, his head fells like it weights a ton, he cant hear what Dash says, visions of the girls he has meet dance like ghosts in his head. The ninja bunnies, that pink catwoman, the fox girl…

Marcus had finished riding the mono-rail into the city and was now on his way to Little Tokyo High on a bus. Now that he was closer to the school, he thought he would try contacting Leon. He rolled up his shirt sleeve to reveal a hard-plastic gauntlet just like the one on Panzer’s arm.

Marcus: “Arquebus? Can you contact Leon? I need to know what’s new with Panzer.”

Arquebus: “I’m sorry Sir; He’s not with Panzer right now.”

Marcus: “Not with Panzer!? I can’t believe this! Find out where he is.”

Arquebus: “I’ll try Sir.”

Marcus: Darn it, Leon! What have you gotten yourself into this time?

Arquebus: “I’ve searched the school’s computer, he was connected to it very recently, but he’s not there now.”

Marcus: “Find him quickly; I need to talk to Panzer.”

Arquebus: “I’m on it Sir. In the meantime, might I suggest you simply call the school again?”

Marcus: “Right!”

Marcus flips open his cell phone.


Meanwhile. Back in the nurse’s station.

Panzer was awake and feeling much better. He had asked other students to bring him all the assignments he had missed during the day. While he worked in bed, he also had the TV on. He had been watching a developing story on the news about an archeological find at a construction site. There was a huge controversy over digging out what ever they found. The person who owned the lot was furious because digging out the relics would ultimately ruin the foundation for the condominium being built there. Palace authority eventually got involved with the dispute and Princess Violet ended up sending the lot owner to Prisoner Island.
Now the diggers were almost finished excavating the largest of the relics. The reporters kept saying that they didn’t know what it was, but what Panzer saw on the camera looked like a sarcophagus.

Then the nurse came back into the room with a portable phone in her hand.

Nurse: “The phone is for you; it’s your father.”

Panzer took the phone from her and turned the TV off.

*Meanwhile, in the school roof, there was a bunny boy disguised as a lawyer, yes the same that scared Jack before...only this time he looked like he had a real job because of the disguise.

-Oh yes, soon I will get my bloody outrageous revenge!- then he got a call to his cell phone-. Yes, sarcophagus, may have some power, nothing about the power of the ancients yet?. Yes I know is not that easy to find a big black pearl that has an evil aura, No you aren’t fired Rine, I mean number 34, Don’t worry I will pay the medical treatment, yes is amazing the good luck number 434 Hikari has, that why she got hired. Bye, get better soon, ok?.

*And while the bunny hangs the phone, Dash arrived to a hospital, Jack went to the emergency room, and all what Dash could do was wait. His training included first aid, but that wasn’t enough this time.

FG : Dash, what are you doing here?

*Yes it was the fox girl!, the day wasn’t lost after all, unless you where Jack of course...

PS: The plot thickens...or I may be under the effect of lots of black beer, anyway, I hope more people posts here...

*Panzer had been talking on the phone with his father. He had told him mostly everything that happened that morning*

Panzer: “Dad! It’s not my fault! …or Leon’s!”

Marcus: “Calm down Panzer; I’m not accusing you of anything.”

Panzer: “Yes you are! You think I’m the one who starts all this trouble!?”

Marcus: “I didn’t say anything like that. Don’t worry about it Panzer. Leon was the same way with me. I programmed him to help me out of trouble, because, unlike you, I always initiated problems when I was younger. It took me some time, but I eventually realized that Leon was developing a taste for adventure. He never instigated me to do anything stupid; he always tried to discourage me at first but once things got rolling he would just sit back and enjoy the ride. Did I ever tell you how I meet your mother?”

Panzer: “Yes, like, a billion times! Besides it’s still not his fault!”

Marcus: “Then what is it?”

Panzer: “It’s this place! This school! This city! It’s all crazy! The students here are weird. I’m so normal; I must stick out like a sore thumb! They have super strength! Their eyes change colour! Half of them have amnesia! I must be the only one who has childhood memories outside of a military test-lab! I’m not even sure if most of them come from this dimension of space/time! I HATE IT!”

*Panzer starts to cry*

Panzer: “I don’t know if I can do this dad. I don’t belong here. I wanna go home.”

Marcus: “Panzer, you know we can’t do that. I have worked very hard so we could be where we are today. Financially, we are better off in Little Tokyo. If I moved back to the NeuraDyne offices in Toronto, I wouldn’t be getting paid as much. I know money can’t buy us happiness, but just give it time; you’ll eventually adjust to things. Hold on… Arquebus found Leon!”

Panzer: “Where is he?”

Marcus: “He’s at the hospital with your friend, Dash! Are you well enough to get out of bed?” 

Panzer: “Yes, I told you, I’m fine,”

Marcus: “Then you’d better get moving; he needs your help. Now go! I’ll catch up to you!”

Panzer hangs up the phone and puts it on the table next to the bed. He starts to put his shoes on. Then he hears the door open. He looks up and sees an aardvark girl wearing a red dress; just like the girl in his dream!

Girl: “Hello?”

Panzer: “Hi, what do you want?”

Girl: “My name is Jenny and I’d like to say I’m sorry.”

Panzer: “Hello Jenny. What are you sorry for?”

Jenny: “I’m the one who pushed you into the lockers.”

Panzer: “WHAAAAAAAT!”

*Jenny sits on the bed next to Panzer and cries*
Jenny: “Forgive me! I didn’t know things would turn out this way! I’d didn’t want you to get hurt! It was only a game!”

Panzer: “Why did you push me into my locker!?”

Jenny: “Because I thought you were cute.”

Panzer’s face turned red, but not from anger. Before, Panzer didn’t know why he dreamed about a beautiful aardvark girl, but now he knew it was because he subconsciously knew who the Locker Bandit was. And now, here she was sitting on the bed with him, looking just as beautiful as ever.

Panzer moved closer to Jenny and let her rest her head on his shoulder.

Panzer: “It’s okay. I forgive you.”

Jenny: “Thank you Panzer.”

Panzer: “I have to go now; my friends are in trouble.”

Jenny: “Wait! Can I have your phone number?”

Panzer writes it on a piece of paper for her.

Jenny: “I’ll talk to you after school, okay?”

Panzer grabs his jacket and before he leaves the nurses station, Jenny gives him a kiss on the cheek.

Dash looks up and sees FG. "I was about to ask you the same thing..." Dash thought to himself, "something about her just doesn't seem right to me...but that isn't my biggest concern right now"

Panzer stood on the sidewalk in front of the school, waiting for a bus to arrive. He dug into his pockets to find a bus token but felt nothing but fabric with his hands, “Son of a”, Panzer realized that he must have lost his tokens when Jack attacked him in the air-duct. He started to panic, “How the heck am I going to get to the hospital now?”
“You can take my bike,” said a sweet voice from behind. Panzer turned around to find Jenny standing with her own red bicycle. Panzer showed her some concern, “Won’t you need it to get home from school?” Jenny shook her head, “I’m going to follow you to the hospital. But you need to get there first, so you can take my bike and I can take the bus. I’ll get my bike back from you at the hospital.” Panzer smiles, “Good idea, thanks.” He takes the bike from her and hips on the seat. “Wait a minute; you need to wear a helmet”, Jenny exclaims. Panzer turns to find her holding one out for him, “Hey, I don’t want to find your brains splattered all over the sidewalk.” Panzer still hesitates; the helmet she is holding is pink and covered in Sailor Moon stickers. “What’s the matter? You don’t like Sailor Moon?” Panzer snaps out of it and takes the helmet from her, “Oh no, I love Sailor Moon; I’ve always had the hots for Tuxedo Mask!” Jenny giggles, “Get outta here you little goof!”

*Just after Panzer leaved, the girl was kidnaped by the ninja bunny girl named Hikari, yes, Jenny may be or not may be a bunny(Remember to say the species the first time you introduce a new character), but after the whole disasters with the "Banchous", the ninja bunny girls need to recruit new personnel from somewhere!.

Hikari: So, you get training in martial arts and ninja skills, an uniform, minimum
 pay until you get promoted, and lots of free makeup, what do you say?.

Jenny: I don't know...

Hikaru: Did I mention you get a free Sailor moon costume if you sign on right now?

OUC: You cant have humans appearing out of nowhere without any reasonable explanation. Since the only one so far playing a human comes from another universe, every other human also comes from another universe. Little Tokyo High is a bit weird, but they aren't that tolerant about the unknown, don't you remember the space monkey that got his ass kicked and then was eaten?.

Meanwhile, in the hospital...

FG: Im sorry for what happened earlier, but I had things to do, and I was really late. So, what with with you Samurai Pizza Cat armor and that?.

*Darn it, with all the rush and Jack the black cat needing real medical attention he forgot to turn back to his regular armor!. Wait a minute... how she could recognize him if he was still in his battle armor?.

Does that answer your question? Jenny/Locker Bandit/Girl in Panzer's dream = Same person = AARDVARK!

OOC: Sorry^_-

Hikari: And did I mention the free breakfast on Monday's?.

Dash, realizing she recognized him, powered down his armor. "Look, the reason I have battle armor will be told you in due time, but you cannot tell anyone that I have special powers. My grandmother (who I live with) doesn't even know about them. She just thinks I like to carry an umbrella around all the time." With that he got right up next to her and whispered, "Promise me...PROMISE...me...that you will tell absolutely NO ONE about this."

*The fox girl hugged Dash "Don’t worry, I was taught to keep secrets, and... well...are you willing to keep one about me?"

Dash looked at her a bit nervously but he figured one good turn deserves another, "Sure, what's up?" He placed his hand up by his sword in case she pulled anything funny

-Well… I… I work… I mean, I have a work that is…have you ever head of ninjas, not the ones show in media, I mean real ones, ninja clans that served a Samurai and that?- she said

Flash-Kid DelGato (Of the cat) awoke to his alarm clock at 3:45 (He takes a long time to get ready). He jumped down from his bunk-bed and turned it off. He walked out of his room and into the restroom. After adjusting the shower water, he washed while singing a random song from CATS.

**EVERYBODY SING ALONG!**

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orzNEZ1wOOE

Still singing, he jumped out of the shower and applied deodorant.  After getting dressed and applying his armor (He takes combat and got obsessed over wearing his armor) he walked out of his room and made buttered toast.

Mom: You ready for your Spanish test dear?

FK: Si, No preocupado.

Mom: Okay... Whatever that means.

FK: Ha ha "Yes, I'm not worried."

After being transported to the school he sees his secret crush Ellie.

FK: Hi Ellie!

Ellie: Hey!

FK: Say wacha doing after school today?

Ellie: Not much. Why?

FK: I thought maybe we could hang out by Lake Otama?

Ellie: It's a date!

FK: SWEET! I'll pick ya up around.... 6 pm?

Ellie: Sounds good.

And with that, they walked hand in hand to their first period.

Dash was surprised..."I would not have guessed...FG...I have a secret of my own actually...beyond my battle armor..."

-No, what I mean is... that… I work for a team who fights ninjas. Because those ninjas want to take over Little Tokyo using the ADN of powerful fighters to create an unbeatable army, and.... you are one of the targets!-

*Unfortunately, fox girl English/Japanese always broke when she was too nervous… so she wasn’t sure if Dash get the message, so she tried for the third time.

-A) A ninja clan wants your ADN, B) They want your ADN to create an army of unbeatable warriors C) I am supposed to protect you and other “targets” D) Since you are so strong, I decided you don’t need protection E) Jack, is one of the others targets and… well, want that written down or something?.- She said, took a deep breath, and some water…

Dash looked shocked, "no need...I read you loud and clear. Id recommend we get the SPC involved but they might be targets of these guys as well...am I right?"

-The Samurai Pizza Cats? No, we cant get them involved, just think of what the ninjas could do if they made clones of them… and copied their weapons!- the fox girl said

*Dash thought of an army of Guidos and Speedys fighting over Lucille, and an army of angry Pollys with frying pans… yeah it would tear Little Tokyo apart faster than a hurricane. Besides, they had solved other problems without the SPC before; this was their school after all. Even if everything went the best way possible, they will close the school to initiate an investigation, maybe permanently. And where else they would accept someone with Superpowers, at least without making a big fuss about it?.

Dash thought for a moment...then realized that he would have to go on his own to stop these folks, and do so without transforming to his battle armor. He turned to FG...

"Well in that case Im gonna go after these guys myself. I may need your help getting in with them but after that Im gonna have to be on my own so as to not endanger anyone, partiucularly the kids of LTHS."

-Okey... but try to not miss more classes, they may suspect something is going on- the fox girl said-. AHHH! IM GOING TO BE LATE FOR ART CLASS!, BYE!!!

*So she ran to Little Tokyo High, and was late for her art class...
