Chapter 001 : End Of The Beginning

IT'S THE YEAR 4047 AND THE WORLD HAS FALLEN TO RUIN, PEOPLE FIND THEMSELVES STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE THE THREAT UPON THEIR DAILY LIVES BECAUSE OF MONSTERS CALLED KAIJIN.

KAIJIN FIRST APPEARED DURING A DISASTER WE CALL THE GREAT CATACLYSM AND NOW MOSTERS ROAM THE EARTH. HUMANS HAVE BEEN PUSHED TO THE CORNERS OF THE WORLD IN CITIES BEHIND GREAT WALLS.

SUBJEGATION OF THESE MONSTERS HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BUT IT PROVED INEFFECTIVE AS THE TECHNOLOGY WAS STILL UNDERDEVELOPED. SO AS TIME WENT BY, THEY FOUND SOLUTIONS TO THEIR PROBLEMS BY INJECTING THE SPINAL FLUID OF THE KAIJI INTO THE HUMAN CELL TO IMPROVE THEIR DNA.

AT FISRT IT FAILED AS SPECIFIC HUMANS WERE NEEDED FOR THE PROCEDURE BUT NOW MORE AND MORE HUMANS ARE BECOMING COMPATIBLE WITH THE KAIJIN CELLS. THESE PEOPLE ARE CALLED AJIN.

THIS IS WHERE WE FIND OUR PROTAGONIST, A 14 YEAR OLD BOY WHO'S AN ORPHAN THAT FENDS FOR HIMSELF IN THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE DESERT.

ISAGI : (THINKS TO HIMSELF) I CAN'T KEEP GOING LIKE THIS, SOONER OR LATER DEATH'S GONNA CATCH UP TO ME. I HAVE TO GET MYSELF A GUN.

STORE VENDOR : (SHOUTING) SOMEBODY CATCH THAT BRAT.

ISAGI STEALS A PIECE OF MEAT FROM THE VENDOR AND RUNS TOWARDS AN ALLEY , JUST AS HE IS ABOUT TO ESCAPE, HE FINDS HIMSELF CORNERED BY A GROUP OF BANDITS.

BANDIT 1 : AINT NOBODY TELL YOU THAT STEALING IS WRONG.

BANDIT 2 : END OF THE LINE KID.

CHOJI : YOU KNOW WHAT I HATE THE MOST KID?

A BIG FAT MAN APPEARS INFRONT OF ISAGI.

CHOJI : SOMEBODY WHO STEALS FROM ME THINKING I'M GONNA TURN A BLIND EYE. WELL I'M NOT THAT GENEROUS.

BANDIT 1 : WHAT SHOULD WE DO TO HIM BOSS?

CHOJI : MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF HIM. BREAK BOTH HIS ARMS, SO HE WON'T THINK OF STEALING FROM ME AGAIN.

BANDIT 2 : ROGER THAT BOSS.

THE BANDITS TURN TO ISAGI AND HE LOOKS AT THEM WITH FIRE IN HIS EYES.

BANDIT 1 : NO NEED TO LOOK AT US LIKE THAT KID, WE'LL JUST BREAK YOUR ARMS AND THEN LET YOU GO. HOW'S THAT?

AS THE BANDIT SWINGS HIS STEEL ROD. SIRENS APPEAR IN THE DISTANCE AND THE BANDITS START TO SCRAMBLE.

BANDIT 1 : WHAT SHOULD WE DO NOW BOSS?

CHOJI : LET'S GO YOU IDIOTS, WE DON'T NEED THOSE MORONS ON OUR ASSES.

ISAGI GETS ON HIS FEET AND STARTS RUNNING TOWARDS HIS SHACK.

2 HOURS LATER

ISAGI ENTERS HIS HOUSE AND STARTS PREPARING THE MEAT. HE BOILS SOME WATER AND AS HE IS ABOUT TO SIT DOWN TO EAT, 3 OTHER SLUM KIDS ENTER HIS SHACK.

MARLO : LOOK WHO IT IS BOYS "ISAGI KUROZAKI".

ISAGI : WHAT DO YOU WANT, MARLO?

MARLO : I'M ABIT HUNGRY YOU SEE AND I COULD GO FOR A BITE RIGHT ABOUT NOW.

ISAGI LOOKS AT HIS FOOD, IT'S SO SMALL, EVEN HE CAN'T FILL HIS OWN STOMACH WITH IT.

MARLO : NOT GONNA SHARE HUH.

ISAGI : YEAH.

MARLO : WELL THEN WE BOTH KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS RIGHT.

ISAGI STANDS UP AND LOOKS AT THE 3 SLUM KIDS. THEY COME CLOSER TO HIM.

ISAGI : SO I'M GUESSING YOU GONNA TAKE MY FOOD.

MARLO : THAT'S A PRETTY SMART OBSERVATION YOU GOT THERE. NOW HAND OVER THE FOOD OR ELSE.

ISAGI : OR ELSE WHAT?

ISAGI PICKS UP A BOWL OF BOILING WATER.

MARLO : GET HIM.

AS THEY APPROACH, ISAGI POURS THE BOWL OF HOT WATER ON THE 2 KIDS AS THEY CRY IN PAIN HE ATTACKS MARLO AND SUBDUES HIM WITH EASE. HE PUTS HIS KNEE ON MARLOS HEAD AND PULLS HIS ARM.

MARLO : THIS ISN'T GONNA END WELL FOR YOU KUROZAKI. ATTACKING US MEANS WAGING A WAR WITH THE SLUM GANG AND DRAX IS NOT SOMEONE YOU WANNA MESS WITH.

ISAGI : WHO SAID I'M AFRAID OF DRAX?

ISAGI PULLS MARLOS HAND UNTIL IT SNAPS

MARLO : AHHHHHHHHH

ISAGI : NEVER TRY TO STEAL FROM ME AGAIN.

2 OF MARLOS GANG MEMBERS HELP HIM UP AND MARLO GIVES HIM A LAST LOOK.

MARLO : YOU'RE GONNA REGRET THIS KUROZAKI.

HE MOVES OUT.

ISAGI : FUCK. NOW I HAVE TO FIND A NEW SPOT.

ISAGI PACKS ALL HIS IMPORTANT ITEMS AND MOVES OUT. IN THE DISTANCE HE HEARS TRUCKS AND BIKES REVING THEIR ENGINES.

ISAGI : THAT WAS FASTER THAN I THOUGHT

HE DIVES INSIDE SOMEONE ELSE SHACK AND A BIKE PASSES BY

ISAGI : SORRY

HE MOVES OUT AND STARTS TO RUN IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.

DRAX : WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT WE'D MEET LIKE THIS KUROZAKI.

ISAGI STOPS IN HIS TRACKS

DRAX : I HEAR YOU TOUCHED TWO OF MY BOYS. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT?

ISAGI : THEY ATTACKED ME FIRST

DRAX : IS THAT TRUE BOYS?

MARLO : HE'S LYING BOSS, WE JUST WANTED TO RECRUIT HIM INTO THE GANG BUT HE SUDDENLY ATTACKED US AND THREW A BOWL OF HOT WATER ON US.

ISAGI : ARE MY BOYS LYING ISAGI?

ISAGI : LOOK DRAX, IF IT'S A FIGHT YOU WANT THEN STOP TALKING SO MUCH.

DRAX: YOU KNOW I LIKE YOU ISAGI-KUN, SO IF YOU APOLOGIZE I'LL CONSIDER FORGIVING YOU.

ISAGI : FUCK YOU DRAX.

DRAX : I TAKE IT, YOU WONT APPOLOGISE. THEN THAT LEAVES ME WITH NO CHOICE. TEACH HIM A LESSON BOYS.

4 OF DRAXS MEN APPROACH ISAGI

ZEKE : DON'T WORRY KID. I'LL JUST BREAK YOUR SPINE AND EVERYTHING WIIL BE SETTLED.

AS ZEKE LUDGES AT ISAGI WITH A PUNCH, HE DODGES AND GOES FOR AN UPPERCUT. IT CONNECTS AND ZEKE IS KNOCKED OUT.

DRAX : THAT WAS FAST. NEXT.

THE GROUP HESITATES

DRAX : WHAT ARE YOU GUYS SCARED NOW. HE JUST TOOK OUT ONE GUY.

HE LOOKS AROUND HIS GROUP.

DRAX : OK FINE WHOEVER CAN GET ME HIS HEAD WILL GET 2 CANS OF MEAT TONIGHT.

THEY ALL ROAR AND START HEADING FOR ISAGI. ONE BY ONE ISAGI PUNCHES HIS WAY THROUGH THE GANG THEN HE FINDS A KNIFE ON THE GROUND.

ISAGI : WASN'T PLANNING ON KILLING ANYONE TODAY BUT OH WELL. LET'S FUCKING DO THIS.

HE STABS GUY ON GUY AND DROPS 6 OF THEM.

DRAX : (THINKS TO HIMSELF) THERE'S TOO MANY OF THEM.

HE TRIES TO KILL HIS WAY OUT BUT THE GANG MEMBERS KEEP ON COMING. DRAX BECOMES TIRED OF WATCHING.

DRAX : GET ME THE STUN GUN.

HE SHOOTS IT AND ISAGI IS HIT. DRAX WALKS UP TO ISAGI WHILE HE'S ON THE FLOOR AND SHOVES HIS BOOT ON HIS FACE.

DRAX : SIX OF MY MEN ARE DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU KUROZAKI AND YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THIS, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. PUT HIM IN A CAGE.

THEY PUT HIM IN A CAGE BEFORE DRIVING OFF TO THEIR BASE. ISAGI WAKES UP AND HE CAN FEEL THAT SOME OF HIS RIBS HAS BEEN BROKEN FROM THE FIGHT EARLIER ON.

DRAX : GOOD YOU'RE AWAKE. YOU'LL NEED MORE SLEEP THOUGH CAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF FUN AHEAD OF US. LET'S HOPE YOU MAKE IT THROUGH IT ALL.
