Volume I, Chapter I: "George and Guy"

   It is a dark and clear night in Old Japan. This City is named Dingo-Xiao, named during the “Great Merge” of Australia and Japan Centuries ago. It was once a Mecca of joint contributions from both lands in technology and friendship. Now it is a regular city no more important than the other high tech cities in United Japan. It is full of buildings that were used for something important at one time. Now they are just useless abandoned buildings adopted by the natives. some are head quarters for the gangs here, some are havens for the unwanted of society and others, are a means for escape.


An old warehouse, it seems to have 3 separate floors of windows that are broken and others are boarded up. it is surrounded by huge metal boxes, used for shipping over seas. the yard is surrounded by a tall stone fence but it has a few small holes in it as well as no gate.

A youth suddenly turns a corner running full speed. He has a white t-shirt on with a blue flight jacket over it, with blue jeans and tan boots. His left hand appears to be metal. He has a blue ball cap turned to the back with black unkempt hair sticking form the front and sides.

This kid is one of the many orphaned kids of  Dingo-Xiao, his name is George, George is 14, doesn’t go to school often but is no dummy by any means . He is very active and kind. George is running because he  just pissed off this Guy. His name is actually “Guy”.

See a tall muscular but not overly huge male. Dress in a long brown trench coat with the sleeves torn off, exposing his tattoos of a  silver dragon going down both arms with red eyes, he also wearing black gloves. He has dark blue jeans with black boots on that have multiple buckles on them. He has red spiked hair and a white head band that says “No Escape” in black tied around his forehead.

Guy, “Come back here mate, I just wanna talk with you.”

George is running towards the entrance of the warehouse compound, “No thanks you look like a boy toucher!”

Guy, still in pursuit, “what? I ain’t no boy toucher! You just wait.”

He follows George into the yard. George is looking for a place to hide. Looking left and right he decides to go through a hole in the building. He hears Guy out side looking for him.

Guy, “Make it easier on yourself mate, come on out. Wouldn’t want you to get hurt like last time would we?”

George looks at his left arm and rubs it, then looks at the palm of his hand. He looks up with a determined look on his face.

Guy is coming around the front of the warehouse where the door is. he puts his hand on the huge metal door.
“You think this door is gonna stop me form getting you, George? It won’t, i am tired of playing with you George. Activate.”
When he says this the eyes on his tattoos pulsate with light. the dragon itself starts to spread all over his arms forming a layer metal skin. Guy’s eyes begin to turn red with no pupils.

George is inside the warehouse backing up from the door, he is several yards away from it. The only light inside is from broken windows and holes in the ceiling and walls. He doesn’t look scared more like preparing for what is to come.

The door explodes off the hinges and falls in two separate directions, landing on the floor. The doorway casts a light leading up to George with guy’s shadow in the middle. Guy is standing there with his arm extended after punching the door.
He stares George in the eyes and George does not flinch. Suddenly he starts charging George.

George raises is left arm straight up his hand disappears into a shadow. Guy is still charging him, he then  pulls down a chord that was hanging just above his head.
it seems to be attached to a cable that kept some large boxes secured. They fall on top of Guy before he can react. Burying him completely.

George picks up a metal rod that roll away from the crashed debris. He begins to run towards the pile.
“you bastard!”

Guy’s arm erupts out of the debris and grabs George by the collar of his jacket.
“you little snake, did you think that could stop a Steel Dragon? Your a fool for what you did to my bike.”

George, “not scared of you or any Steel Dragon! Your all cowards, beating on the weaklings of the city.”

Guy pulls him closer, “like you? don’t worry your demise will be the next message your sister gets.”

he pulls his other hand back and a blade extends from his wrist stretching past his palm.
George stays himself and gets ready for the strike.

From behind  Guy. “what message are you going to deliver to me?”

In the door way is a female with a red cap similar to George’s on top of long slender black dreads in a pony tail. here skin is slightly tan, she is wearing shades, a red half jacket with her sleeves rolled up revealing metal arms with white gloves. She has a pink shirt on tucked into form fitting blue jeans. Wearing knee high red boots with two pink buckles on each. Her name is Alexx, she is Georges sister. Lucky for him.

Guy looking pissed throws George back into the shadows. Alexx looks at this but doesn’t lose focus of Guy.

Guy, “Alexx, i was just gonna do you a favor. You know that kid is nothing but dead weight.”

He slowly is walking towards Alexx.
Alexx, “my brother is, my brother. No more no less.”

Guy points at her, “he is the reason you have tech on your body.”

Alexx, “you have tech as well Guy.”

Guy, “by choice as a Steel Dragon, now let this be. just walk away. If you get involved you know what will happen.”

Alexx slightly smiles, “Go.”

Several different colored lights start to flash on  her arms a flash of blue light emits from behind her shades. She is suddenly right in front of Guy. they are crossing arms. he is blocking her and she is blocking his wrist blade.

In the back of the warehouse is a room that has a small hole in the wall that George made. He is laying on top of a giant glass and metal casket. the room has many of them lining the wall, the others are standing. it is obvious he knocked it over when he crashed through.

George, “ouch, i hate that guy. now where am i?”

he looks at the wall he crashed through holding his metal arm.

“wow, good thing i came through with the left side. that wall looks like it was cemented over. weird.”
The room starts flashing red and white lights and a voice speaks.

Voice, “This is the  auditory warning system. Damage to subject C - 2676, stasis chamber 7.”

George looks down at the chamber  and reads “7” , then jumps off of it.

Voice, “emergency disconnect to save the other subjects is initiated. warning subject will be immediately awaken no sedation, warning subject may have awaken craze. danger level for this subject considering current status of human ability and technology is level 1.”

George, “Awaken craze what the hell is that?”

He rolls up his right sleeve to reveal a small touch screen. He types AWAKEN CRAZE into it.

A small voice emits from his wrist, “Awaken Craze. Definition To be suddenly awaken from prolonged stasis without virtual education for adjustment to environment. subject will have only survival instincts until he forms level 4 thought patterns or is sedated.”

George, with his back to the chamber, “great a crazy thawed out old guy.”

He walks up to a dusty control panel with flashing lights and pulls a cord from his wrist computer. On the screen it says DOWNLOADING.

Alexx is being struck by Guy with the back of his hand. She slides back in a ready stance.
 She jumps up then pulls two small guns from her back that were under her jacket. She begins firing rapidly.

Guy dodging, he is running from the trail of bullets behind him, “Shooting? Are you crazy? Your gonna bring the J.U.P. stupid girl!”

He dodges and dodges until he gets to her, right before he slashes her she leans and shoots him in the stomach. he rolls on to the floor near the doorway.

Guy, “dammit, your gonna pay for this!”

Alexx  just looks and says nothing.

A huge shadow is cast over her and Guy.


George is still in the room.

“awakening in ten micros, subject C- 2676.“

George , “okay, I mean he is a level 1 threat, no problem”

Voice, “Warning. Upon final scan, unexplained mutations have been discovered within subject C-2676. Upon genetic assessment of the subjects current physical  statistics, a new threat measurement has been made.”

Moments earlier.

Alexx is facing a Giant figure dressed in a black sleeveless shirt exposing his metal arms, with black spiked gloves. On his side is a wide blade with a pistol shaped handle, that appears to have two barrels on it. his pants are red with black boots. He is bald of a pale complexion, with a Steel Dragon tattoo reaching across his forehead from ear to ear.
On his shoulders is a smaller male, that has similar tattoos on his arms as Guy. He has long black hair that is not tide down, wearing brown pants and black athletic shoes. Of a darker skin tone almost pecan like, also has a sword on his back. It is long and narrow with a long blue hilt that has a gold tassel hanging from it. They are Roger and Norman. They are NOT here to help Alexx.
