[blurred images of things that will occur during the story] [BUT THIS IS OUR GALAXY] Two brothers battled each other for control of our galaxy. With opposite but extreme powers and abilities, each managed to control one half of the galaxy. As they warred, chaos swept among the planets. The people cried for peace. They made only one request of the two kings who ruled over them - that a special police force be created, one without any influence from either government. Thus, the restoration of order ensued, through the creation of IRIS ------[end intro] [chapter title page] IRIS The 53rd Division Planetary Exploration 5001: The Orphan's S.A. ------- [scene of police-vehicles in front of a catholic cathedral- a few read 53Xenon, the rest read 39Yttrium] [picture of a man wearing a brown trench coat, smoking a cigarette; the man is young, looks like a teenager, though he's actually in his early twenties, Japanese, sloppy brown hair, dark, wide blue eyes] [in this picture, only his hand lighting the cigarette, the bottom of his chin, and the mid part of his trench coat are shown] [picture of a profile paper in the man's hand] Suboji: ?small military group, committed two previous major offenses, both robberies of the same kind. Has previously evaded the 47th group and the 89th group, though in both cases this was only because of an early escape and late response. Killed thirteen individuals during the first robbery, four during the second. Highly dangerous. Leader may possibly contain an S.A. [Looks up at the building] And this time, they kill eight. Now that we've driven them into a corner, how will the rats bite? Will you add children to your death count? [a uniformed officer whose uniform has the 53Xenon logo on it comes to speak to him] Officer: Sir, most of the children were outside playing but the younger ones have been taken hostages. Only one of the nuns was in the building at the time, but they sent her out with their demands, so right now it's only the children left in there. Suboji: .....(so they didn't expect our division to keep up with them, and took their time with this robbery, and now they're pinned. Probably became relaxed after pulling off the first two so smoothly. They weren't sure how to act, so they panicked and decided to take hostages.) ......but for it to be at an orphanage..... Officer: Sir? Suboji: Get me a copy of their demands, and contact koji in the- [a large man with a uniform reading 39Yttrium interrupts him] Simpson: Director Hiroushi! This is the 39th division. You can't do anything here. This situation will be handled properly by us. Suboji: [glaring] (even though we were the first ones to keep up with this group) Director Simpson, I understand. [walks towards the scene] I'll make sure not to get anyone killed. Simpson: [huffing, bars the way] Look, chink, our division can easily save a couple of hostages. My reputation won't be spoiled by some dead brats within my division, so get out. Your guys couldn't even keep these criminals from leaving your division - you aren't going to be able to do anything here. [his expression changes to one more friendly, almost mocking] Not that anything better was expected from 53rd division, why, you're almost a kid yourself - Suboji: [crumples the papers in one hand, and with the other hand drops his cigarette to the ground, which he puts out with his foot] When I say I won't get anyone killed, I meant none of the terrorists. I would like to be able to question them all afterwards. Excuse me. [walks towards the building gates. The officer approaches him with a small metal box.] Officer: Sir, the cameras have been connected to the inside. The signal is connected to here. [hands him the box] Suboji: (good work koji) [looks at the screen, where several small children, early elementary or maybe younger, huddle in a group. With them is one older boy, who looks like he's in his early teens.] ..... This boy..... I thought you said all the older children were outside playing. Officer: That one was taking care of the smaller ones. Suboji: Name? Officer: The nun said Jun, but she was very frightened and you asked us not to hassle her.... Suboji: That's fine. [zoom in on the screen to focus on Jun] His eyes..... Officer: Sir? Suboji: (hold an intense will to fight) Contact Koji. Tell him to prepare to fire upon the building. Officer: Sir?! The hostages- Suboji: I'll handle it. The blast is only a distraction. Feel free to explain that to Koji, though he should already understand. Officer: Yes sir! [Suboji starts to draw out his cigarette box, then suddenly pushes it back into his pocket and draws his gun instead] Suboji: 17..... 16...... 15...... ----- [scene - inside the building, the small children are huddled around Jun. Most are scared, some a crying, and a few have very determined expressions. Jun also has a determined expression. Four armed men stand around them, and a fifth looks over an electronic radio box with worried eyes. The loot from the robbery is shoved to the side.] [the man holding the radio box looks up at Jun] Man: Hey kid, what's with the look? .....you'll live to experience it if you stay good and stay quiet. [Jun stays silent, still determined, his hands gripping into the cloths of the children he is holding] [the man stands, wearily] Man: Look, we have our own reasons for what we do. Now if iris'll just wise up and let us go on- [suddenly, an explosion shakes the building] Armed Man 1: Fuck! They're shooting at us from space, even though we have hostages- [Jun, suddenly in motion, appears from bellow and knocks the man senseless with a wooden katana. The other men, surprised, don't react. Jun swiftly takes down two more the armed men, then moves towards the third. Before he can attack, however, the armed man 4 points his gun at him.] Man: [eyes opened wide, small small pupils, angry and scary] You, kid- [From behind them, a bullet soars into the loot, knocking it over the ground. Jun takes the advantage to knock out the fourth armed man. The man throws down his radio, smashing it into the ground and pulls out a hand gun of his own. (during this action, someone is saying "3.... 2..... 1......") Just has he's about to shoot Jun, a bullet rips into his trigger hand. The man crinkles in pain, and Suboji appears behind him, his gun held out his hand.] Suboji: Zero. Negative 2, negative 3, negative?.. [lowers gun] [Jun and Suboji match eyes.] Suboji: hmph. [jun is startled] [Suboji puts away his gun and pulls out a cigarette, which he lights carefully and smokes in front of Jun.] Jun: Mr. Cop sir person, you can't smoke here inside the cathedral. [Suboji glares at Jun, then drops the cigarette and the ground and puts it out with his foot, to Jun's horror.] Suboji: ...displayed a very powerful S.A.. Jun: hah? [puzzled chibi expression] Suboji: Drawing a wooden sword out of the air, showing extreme speed and agility - such super human qualities could only be possessed through an S.A.. You? no, Jun, you're wasting your abilities in such a place. Your S.A. is superior to many people even inside of IRIS. Jun: ...hah?! [total puzzlement, surrounded by question marks] Suboji: *sighs* Well, come outside and I'll explain it to you. Jun: ?..HAH?! [several of the nuns, and the other police men suddenly move in. the young children run to the nuns for comfort, and many start crying. Some of the older children who were outside also come in. Many run up to Jun and try talking to him, who turns chibi and looks wildly at all of them as they crowd around him. Suboji then picks chibi Jun out of the crowd by the back of his shirt and pulls him outside.] Jun: a-hold it, oi, hold, hey, I haven't even said twenty words yet and you're already dragging me around [chibi face >_<] ---- [scene - inside the 53rd division ship, Suboji is standing in front of his desk lighting a cigarette. Suddenly his face takes the expression of surprise and annoyance and three chibi Jun's surround him; one is taking away his cigarette, the second his lighter, the third the pack out of his jacket.] Chibi Juns: Person Mr. Cop sir person, smoking will make your lungs take on a yucky black color and shrivel all funny and keep you from getting old and hurt your health. Suboji: [serious] So, do you understand? This place is more appropriate. Those with extreme S.A.s shouldn't exist outside of IRIS. Jun: [chibi expression of one with profound concentration - sweat drop, eyebrows thin and tilted in, small forehead wrinkles, etc, sitting like a frog] So? you wanna adopt me so that I can become a part of your unit thingy and then I'll no longer be a citizen of the Blue government and become a member of your IRIS thingy and then do things to help little babys and stuff? Suboji: [trying to hold his irritation] Yeah. ?Just do what I say. Jun: [saluting, his eye two upwards arcs, still crouching in the chair in frog position] Hai sir!
