Back...to the Future!; At least there are no pines
Topic Started: Mar 31 2010, 06:33 AM (955 Views)
Yosuke

Shun was always in control whenever he had accelerated his car to absurd speeds...so why was he having trouble managing 88mph? Even then, the scenery was blowing by as quickly as it did when he was going at his maximum! It was odd, he had no control over the UP-15, the car he had been using ever since his life took that drastic turn. It was always well maintained and not once has it failed him...

So why was it doing so right now?

No matter what he did he couldn't stop or even change direction. He was just going so "fast" that he wasn't able to recognize anything. All he could do was swear that he'd get that strange ghost girl for doing this...well...if he survived, anyway. He just had a bad feeling that he had encountered a threat greater than any Invader faced thus far...but he'd deal with that when the time came.

As a bright flash appeared before him...and when it faded, he was apparently stopped in the middle of a fairly empty parking lot. Everything seemed okay, Shun was still alive so that was always a plus...but he had to ask himself one thing.

"Why is it so cold...?"

Kicking back in a police box with a box of jam donuts and a comic book, life was pretty good for Benny at the moment. At least until the UP-15, under the control of one Shun Ukiya, decided to go screeching across the parking lot in a cloud of rubber and smoke before coming to a halt in the middle of nowhere. Before the car even came to a complete stop, the man in the black suit was running towards the car as fast as he could, pointing straight at the driver and yelling at the top of his lungs.

"Oi, you there, in the car!"

That was about as far as Benny got before he realised he was missing the one symbol of authority that every man needs for such awesome one-liners: his glasses, which were quickly snapped open and placed upon his head. Now that his awesome level was back to normal, he came to a halt next to the still smoking car and pointed at the driver yet again.

"Freeze!"

Man, that was cold! Damn cold!

It took Shun but a moment to get his bearings of what the hell was going on, at the very least he knew he wasn't in Tokyo anymore. With what little he could see through his frosted windows, he noticed that the building nearby wasn't familiar at all. Still, his less than glamorous entrance into the parking lot did not go by unnoticed, as what passed for a figure of authority was telling him to freeze.

'He's kidding...right?' Shun thought, shivering a bit before finally rolling down the window and poking his head out of the vehicle. Giving the officer a casual wave he kept his cool and went with the obvious.

"Anything wrong, officer?"

Benny was expecting some kind of drugged-up ruffian, or maybe some random bald man in a straightjacket to be behind the wheel, but what popped out of the driver's side window was just some punk kid with a bandage across his nose.

Well, if this kid is gonna mess with me, let's play! No one messes with Benny the Cop! Wait, what was my high score again? Nine? Ten? Should be fun!

"Yeah, there is. Would you like to tell me why you were travelling at 88mph in my parking lot, or why a little kid like you is behind the wheel of a car? Get out of the car, right meow!"

Yep. He just said meow.

That's one!

"I'll do so right meow then." Shun decided to go along with the strange verbal tic for now, he wasn't sure where he was and revealing the fact he was on a case too soon could lead to trouble. It was odd for him to actually think things through but at the same time he did have reason to: the Invaders were constantly changing and the "Ghost Girl" proved it, until he had something to go off of he'd at least try to keep his cool.

Whether he'd succeed was another story.

Either way, he stepped out of the car, with minor difficulty stepping out due to the sheets of ice, but otherwise followed the orders for now. "Just taking it out for a test drive, just got it out of the shop...you know how that is, right?"

Benny couldn't help but be annoyed when Shun obeyed his command and got out of the car, still calm as can be. "Taking it for a test drive? I don't think you understand the consequences of what you're doing, boy! Joyriding, speeding in a built-up area and mocking a police officer? You'd best start explainin' right meow, or else I'm gonna have to take you in." he said quietly, tapping his hand against his hip holster for emphasis.

'Right meow'? Who does this kid think he is, trying to play with me!? I'm Benny the Cop, damnit!

"Meow meow here, no need to jump to conclusions. As you can see what happened was beyond my control." Shun continued to keep his cool, unless he had no other choice he'd do something drastic, besides, he was having fun using meow, and wanted to see how many he could use. Either way, it wasn't his fault his car was apparently sort of frozen now, but he couldn't just up and say a loli-ghost did it.

"And I'm not mocking you good sir, flattery and mimicking and all that."

"Do I look like a cat to you, boy? Am I jumpin' around all nimbly bimbly from tree to tree? Am I drinking milk from a saucer? Do you see me eating mice!? You stop that right meow!" Benny yelled, seemingly enraged but biting his tongue and thanking the Gods for his glasses as he tried damn hard not to laugh. Any punk that could keep up with him for this long in the meow game and not lose it completely had to be a worthy adversary!

"Do I have to stop meow? It's so much fun!" Shun quipped but sighed. While the "game" was indeed fun, it was time to be serious for a moment, the officer was getting angry...but at the same time Shun didn't sense any malice from the cop, he was just doing his job. Either way, Shun just dug into his pocket and pulled out something.

"This should clear things up." and with that, he held out his means of identification: his Earth Defense Licence.

It took all of Benny's effort to resist slapping Shun in the back of the head for wasting his time with such an obviously fake ID. That said, the older man couldn't help but smile at what he percieved as bandaid boy kept up with his games. Earth Defense Licence? Christ, either this kid's a fruit-loop, or he really likes messing with people. Well...two can play at that game!

"Do you think I'm an idiot, or are you just trying to get into trouble? A toy ID like this will only get you in more trouble meow, understand? Aliens? Seriously? Besides, even if this thing was real, it expired in 1971! I'll let you off with a warning this time, but you should go back to where you got this right meow get your money back. This is one of the worst fake IDs I've ever seen!"

This...was definitely different from what he was expecting. Shun was too used to authority figures shitting their pants whenever he pulled out the ID, instead, he was berated for it being fake, and for that matter it was already expired. Last he checked, he celebrated the New Year with his family and friends a few weeks ago, at most! He had at least a year before his licence needed to be renewed!

"Wait...what's the date meow!?" he asked, almost panicking. Something was definitely off...but at the same time the cat stuff hadn't really left his system. Either way...Shun was in for a very big surprise.

Shun's surprise was nothing compared to that of a man driving along the roads of Hyakuji just outside Majikku Mall. He sped along at the legal limit in a car more expensive than most of the city's inhabitants could ever dream of affording, for now without a care in the world. Without a paranormal frequency to chase down or school in session it was free time. He was spending that free time cruising along, enjoying the scenery and making notes of which roads led where. He'd just moved from Tokyo after all, so things weren't familiar just yet.

Majikku Mall... that's an appropriate name, Reiji Kageyama thought as his eyes spotted the sign marking the exit for the massive mall complex. Hyakuji was a town riddled with people like himself and Ayane--not Gate Keepers, but rather beings with supernatural powers. A town not only filled with magic-users, but completely unabashed about being so. The name of that shopping mall just went to further that belief. He was about to toss it aside as just a meaningless piece of trivia when a flash caught his eye.

"Hmm?"

Making sure no one was in front of him and the road wasn't about to turn suddenly, he slowed slightly and looked over in the direction of the flash, the mall's parking lot. What his eyes caught after turning sent chills down his spine and stopped his breath. It... can't be. It can't be! That's supposed to be in Tokyo! Don't tell me... Ayane!?

The exit for Majikku Mall had almost passed. Any rational person would have just driven on by, admitting they'd missed the exit but taking the next one to loop back around instead. Reiji, on the other hand, slammed on the brakes and turned hard, his tires splitting the otherwise calm air with screeching as he mercilessly forced the Tuscan S into a corner without any warning. Fortunately, this was one of the reasons he bought it in the first place--its performance was nothing to shake a stick at. Even abused it followed the path he intended.

Quite fortunately for any motorists who may have been nearby at that time, the exit for Majikku Mall went right into the parking lot, which was empty near where he entered. Fortunate because he overcooked the corner, since it turned sharply at the end to make the lot. As such his car spun rather dramatically into the parking lot and came to a screeching halt as the brakes finally overcame momentum.

For a moment he just sat there and caught his breath. It was a gutsy maneuver to be sure, one he was only half sure he'd have been able to pull off. Not car nor driver nor innocents were harmed, so for now he was spared a heart attack. Then he saw the license plate of the blue Toyota Sports 800 parked haphazardly in the middle of the lot with a police officer leaning next to it.

[AEGIS03]

Then he pretty much did have a heart attack. "No... mistaking it. It's the UP-15. When the hell did it leave Tokyo?" he said to himself, shaking off the shock and finally opening the door to step out. He took his cane with him, walking steadily but quickly with its help towards the car and its occupant. But... who's driving it?

The UP-15's roofline being as low as it was and the rear window being as small as it was, he couldn't see very well into the cockpit. It was someone with brown hair, that much he could figure out. It wasn't Ayane, then. Was there another Gate Keeper with that color in the AEGIS Network?

"Besides, even if this thing was real, it expired in 1971! I'll let you off with a warning this time, but you should go back to where you got this right meow get your money back. This is one of the worst fake IDs I've ever seen!" the officer interrogating the UP-15's driver was saying, holding a card in his hand. The card's color... the mention of the date... gears were already turning in Reiji's mind. Impossible thoughts, ones that shouldn't happen. There just wasn't any way.

"Wait...what's the date meow!?" came a voice too ridiculous to be anyone else. Finally, Reiji had reached them and could see both the ID in Benny's hand and the UP-15's driver as clear as day. As much as he didn't want to admit it, as impossible as it seemed... there was just no mistaking that boy. He'd never, ever forget that voice. That face.

"It's the year 2001, Shun Ukiya," he said to the boy in the car, then turned to the officer who was interrogating him. 'Mall cop' was more like it--seemed this wasn't a traffic stop, but was just a bored security guard. "Is there something wrong here, Officer?" Reiji said to Benny, as formally as possible. Unlike Shun, Reiji knew all too well that an AEGIS ID wouldn't get you anywhere nowadays. It would get you into AEGIS facilities but that was about it. Instead, he'd be relying on either the guard being intimidated... or easily bribed.

Either way, he needed Shun intact. There was a single burning question in Reiji's mind that needed an answer immediately, but it wasn't something he was about to ask in front of a bystander. He wasn't fond of being thought crazy, after all. Shun Ukiya... how the hell are you appearing in front of me again!?

The screeching of tires, the roar of a straight-six engine tuned to perfection. There was no doubt about it, there was another law-breaker in Benny's parking lot...but what stepped out of the now-stationary Tuscan wasn't another punk kid, but an older man with in a dark suit and sunglasses not dissimilar to his own walking with a cane.

"It's the year 2001, Shun Ukiya," he said to the boy in the car, then turned to the officer who was interrogating him. "Is there something wrong here, Officer?"

Oh, so he knows this kid? Well, he looks like he knows what he's doing, so I guess he can take responsibilty for him...but who cares about that!? That car is frickin' sweet! Even though he liked to think of himself as a hard-boiled deftective, even though it absolutely shattered the professional demeanour he tried to maintain...he couldn't help but drool over the fine piece of engineering in front of him.

Putting aside the fanboyism for a moment, Benny straightened himself back up and stared back at Reiji. "No, I was just advising this young man here that flashing around fake and/or expired IDs while speeding isn't a good idea. Honestly, I really don't feel like doing all the paperwork for this right meow, I'd rather just go back inside and get a waffle hotdog. Consider yourself off the hook, kid...unless you guys want some too?"

And so, Shun was now even more confused. Nevermind the awesome act of the Tuscan just suddenly spinning into the parking lot (if this were another time he'd have probably asked how to do that trick), but the moment the driver of said car told him it was 2001...well, Shun just couldn't believe it. He was just in shock, resulting in him weakly shaking his head in response to Benn'y offer for food. "I-It'll never happen again...must have brought the wrong one by mistake." he stated, laughing rather nervously before taking a moment to look at the person who apparently knew him.

He looked familiar but couldn't quite place it for a moment. Granted, the way he carried himself...the voice, it was one Shun wouldn't forget. It would probably also help explain why this man knew his name.

"Are you Reiji's dad?"

...well, his assumption was close.

That was easier than expected, Reiji thought as the officer explained his not wanting to deal with the papers for writing Shun up. There was one odd thing that stood out, though; ...meow?

"I'd rather just go back inside and get a waffle hotdog. Consider yourself off the hook, kid...unless you guys want some too?" Benny said. In a move that was a little shocking--then again, this whole situation was pretty surreal already--Shun turned down an offer for food.

"I-It'll never happen again...must have brought the wrong one by mistake."

Reiji cleared his throat and shook his head. "Actually, we'll join you in a moment. I just have to talk to him alone." He'd wait for Benny to leave before asking or saying anything. Shun, however, was the first one to speak between them.

"Are you Reiji's dad?"

That actually got a chuckle out of the older gentleman as he shook his head and pulled open the UP-15's door to usher Shun out. "That's not quite right. Here, this should explain things for you, Ukiya." Reaching into his suit he retrieved his own Invader Hunting License, the one with his name, date of birth, blood type, and various other AEGIS Network rank information on it. "It doesn't hold the same power that one used to, though. You can't get out of traffic stops or anything. So, Ukiya... how the hell did you get here? I wasn't aware time travel was in your repertoire."

For now, he'd leave out the part where he was supposed to have died 30 years ago, and the part where was married with child. One of which was in the very same city. That was some coincidence... what were the chances all three of them would be in the same place? Zero, anywhere else.

This was Hyakuji. A place of magic and miracles... and horrible.
