ATOMIC DESTINY, PART ONE

*The sun sets across the downtown skyline of Motohama. Across Edo's biggest city on it's north side, a businessman exits one of the tallest skyscrapers and enters the awaiting limo. As the limo drives out of the city, the businessman tells the driver...*

Businessman: Shotaro, take me home. I've had very stressful day.

*The window that seperates the front from the back now rolls down and a white haired man now turns to face the businessman, while smiling sadistically. The businessman now exclaims in shock....*

Businessman: OH MY GOD! YOU'RE NOT SHOTARO!

*The white haired man now exclaims as his eyes begin to glow bright red....*

"Shotaro": And you're not going home, Mr. Yamaguchi-san!

*The white haired man now begins laugh maniacally as the inside of the limo now begins glow with red light and fill with mist. Yamaguchi-san now screams in terror as the sun continues to set in the distance.*




*Meanwhile on the outskirts of Motohama, a figure in white is seen racing around on appears to be an offroad motorcycle. Eventually after a few laps, the figure comes to a stop and removes his helmet. The man now looks at his digital watch and exhales loudly, while shaking his head. The man now says out loud to himself....*

Man: Damn it, still off the mark.

Second Man: But still better than most.

*The first man now turns to face the second man, whom happens to be standing on Lofstrand or forearm cruches, and tells him....*

First Man: What do you want this time, Hayabusa-san?

*Hayabusa, as in Eiji Hayabusa, the legendary former Motocross superstar. Now retired and disabled to various injuries sustained during his racing career. He now tells the first man....*

Eiji Hayabusa: You know what I want, Jin.

*The first man, Jin, now shakes his head in disbelief as he puts his motorcycle helmet back on....*

Jin: And you already know my answer, Eiji.

Eiji Hayabusa: I do.

Jin: Then I guess I'll see you at the same time, next week.

Eiji Hayabusa: Of course. I know you'll change your mind eventually.

Jin: Not gonna happen, but keep dreaming.

*Jin now speeds off on his motorcycle and Eiji continues to watch him with great interest. He know says to himself quietly...*

Eiji Hayabusa: It's not my dreams I worry about, Jin. It's yours.

*As Jin continues to speed off, unknownst to him, a shadowy figure is shown watching from a distance with an even greater interest than Eiji Hayabusa.

A few more minutes pass and it's now night in Motohama. Jin now shown driving down one of the city's main highways. Eventually he comes to an intersection where a white haired police officer is directing traffic. The officer now motions to Jin to go right. Jin reluctantly agrees too, not wanting to take a detour. The white haired police now smiles sadistically as he continues to watch Jin drive down the detour. His eyes now briefly glow red, as well.

About a mile down the detour, Jin begins to becomes aggitated as he begins to drive through a dark tunnel. Jin then comes to a dead stop as what few lights in the tunnel now all shut off in front of him. Jin now takes off his helmet and exclaims.....*

Jin: What the hell? Something is very wrong.

*A set of glowing red eyes now appear in the dark in front of Jin. A menacing voice now yells at him....*

Menacing Voice: OH, I'M AFRAID NOTHING IS WRONG, KAWASAKI-SAN! EVERYTHING IS VERY VERY RIGHT! ESPECIALLY FOR YOU!

*Jin Kawasaki now yells back, as he slowly prepares to speed off on his motorcycle to escape....*

Jin Kawasaki: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!

*Jin Kawasaki now become even more startled as the glowing red eyes steps out of the shadows, to reveal the same white haired police officer from earlier. The white haired man tells Jin.....*
 
White Haired Man: I AM YOUR DESTINY, KAWASAKI-SAN!

*Jin now mouths "My destiny" as the white haired man continues to tell him...*

White Haired Man: YES! YOUR DESTINY! FOR YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN! CHOSEN TO JOIN HAZARD! SO I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO WISH YOU.......

*The white haird man now begins to walk towards Jin, who now begins to back up along with his motorcycle. The white haired man now extends his arms and yells out at Jin....*

White Haired Man: CONGRADULATIONS!

*Jin Kawasaki now begins to rev up his motorcycle at he tells the white haired man...*

Jin Kawasaki: Yeah. Thanks. BUT NO THANKS!

*Jin now speeds foward at top speed, knocking the white haired man to ground with a hard crash. Jin Kawasaki now speeds off without looking back for a second more. The white haired man immeadiatly gets back up to his feet, without even a scrath on himself. He now exclaims as his eyes begins to glow red once again....*

White Haired Man: HARD TO GET, I SEE! OH BOY! I DO LOVE A GOOD CHASE!

*The white haired man now begins to laugh maniacally out loud as his red eyes begin to glow even brighter than before. Loud shrieks are now heard as Jin Kawasaki continues speed away at high speed on his motorcycle.  The shrieks continue to grow louder and closer behind him. This causes Jin to become startled for a moment and look behind him. He then mutters to himself....*

Jin Kawasaki: What the.....

*When he turns back around, he barely has time to notice the large pothole in the road in front of him, that seemingly appeared out of nowhere. Jin tries to slow down and avoid it, but to no avail. The motorcycle crashes nose first into the hole, wrecking it and sending Jin Kawasaki flying off the front of it. Jin slams hard into the pavement before rolling several time across it. He now lays on the pavement on his back, in a bloody and broken heap. Just before Jin Kawasaki loses consciousness, he notices a blurry dark figure with glowing red eyes approaching with familiar white hair. The white haired man now stands over Kawasaki and tells him.....*

White Haired Man: As said before Kawasaki-san, welcome to HAZARD.

*The white haired man now begins to laugh again as his eyes continue to glow bright red, before Jin finally loses consciousness.

Meanwhile at the headquarters for Hayabusa Racing, which is basically a rundown former auto repair shop, Eiji Hayabusa is sititng in his office with a young lady in mid 20s. This is Eiji's neice, Emi Hayabusa. And as a recent business graduate from Motohama University, she now handles the finacial situation for Hayabua Racing. Which sad to say is.....*

Emi Hayabusa: ...in the proverbial finacial toilet! In fact, we are the verge of bankruptcy, Eiji!

Eiji Hayabusa: *sighs* I know, Emi. I know.

Emi Hayabusa: Then why aren't you trying to get some new sponsors like Suzuki Sports did.

Eiji Hayabusa: *groans* Please don't bring them up, Emi.

Emi Hayabusa: WHY NOT?! With their new sponsors, they are the talk of the Edo Motorcross this year. In fact, they probably will win the Edo Grand Prix.

*Suddenly the gravely voice of a older man says....*

Gravely Voice: Yes, we will.

*Eiji Hayabusa is now startled to see his old partner turned bitter rival, Meguro Suzuki, standing there. The owner of Suzuki Sports now tells Eiji....*

Meguro Suzuki: Eiji, at least be a man and stand up to greet me. Or are you just gonna hide behind your desk like a COWARD!

*Emi Hayabusa, ever the hot-headed young woman, now gets in Suzuki's face and yells at him....*

Emi Hayabusa: YOU BASTARD! HOW DARE COME HERE AND INSULT HAYABUSA-SAN!

*Megura Suzuki now begins to snicker and then tells Eiji....*

Meguro Suzuki: Oh I see, how it is. You are not hiding your desk anymore. You are hiding behind a WOMAN! *laughs* My, how the mighty have fallen.

*The irrate Eiji Hayabusa has heard enough, and finally manages to stand up after much struggle. He now tells Megura angrily....*

Eiji Hayabusa: You leave my neice out of this, Meguro! This is between you and me!

Mysterious Voice: And.....ME!

*Eiji and Emi are now startled to see a much taller and younger man enter the building and stand next to Meguro Suzuki. The man in a black racing jumpsuit, has a large red X on his upper left breast and on his back, where his racing team logo should be. Emi Hayabusa now exclaims recognizing the man finally....*

Emi Hayabusa: RIDER X!

*Meguro Suzuki now smirks and tells both Eiji and Emi....*

Meguro Suzuki: That's right, in the flesh. And the best part is, he is now the top star of Suzuki Sports!

Emi Hayabusa: Impossible.

Meguro Suzuki: With the right sponsors, NOTHING is impossible, my dear. Well except for Hayabusa Racing ever winning the Edo Grand Prix.

*Meguro Suzuki now begins to laugh as he begins to leave the Hayabusa Racing headquarters. He now snaps his finger and says to Rider X.....*

Meguro Suzuki: Come Rider X, we have a Edo Grand Prix to prepare for.

*Rider X now smirks and says to both Eiji and Emi....*

Rider X: Yes we do, Suzuki-san. Yes we do. Until next time.....

*Rider X now suddenly grabs a startled Emi by the wrist and kisses her on the hand as he tells her.....*

Rider X: My dear.

*Rider X now lets her go and begins to leave the building. Eiji now stops his neice from hitting Rider X from behind, as he does. She now tells Eiji....*

Emi Hayabusa: *groans* UGH, THAT BASTARD!

Eiji Hayabusa: Yes, he is. But a very talented one.

Emi Hayabusa: What are we gonna do, Hayabusa-san? As I was explaining earlier before I was RUDELY interupted, if we don't win the Edo Grand Prix this year, Hayabusa Racing is DOOMED!

Eiji Hayabusa: There is only one thing we can do, Emi. We need Jin Kawasaki.

*Emi's eyes now widen as she exclaims....*

Emi Hayabusa: JIN KAWASAKI?!

*Eiji Hayabusa now nods as he slowly sits back down at his desk. He now begins to look at an old framed pictured on his desk, as Emi asks him....*

Emi Hayabusa: But why HIM?! Why THAT man!

*Eiji now continues to look at the picture as he tells her....*

Eiji Hayabusa: Because he reminds me of somebody else at that age. Somebody who was just as headstrong, just as reckless, and just as free spirited.

Emi Hayabusa: Who uncle, who?

*Eiji now looks up at his neice and smirks as he tells her....*

Eiji Hayabusa: Me.

*Emi Hayabusa now just schoffs in anger and walks out of Eiji's makeshift office. Eiji now calmly sighs as he continues to look at the picture on his desk. The cameras now zoom in on the picture of two young men One man is around Jin's age and is standing in front of a motorcycle, holding a large trophy. The man next to him is little older, with his hand on the first man's shoulder. Next to the older man is a young boy around 8 years old. The cameras now fade out from there.

We now fade into a much darker room, with two shadowy figures, one shorter than the other, are now shown standing in front of a larger viewing screen with their backs to the camera. A man in a pointed black hood and robes with glowing red eyes is now shown on the viewing screen. He now tells the two shadowy figures in a distorted voice....*

Hooded Man in Black Robes: *distorted voice* It is time. Begin Project ATOM.

*The shorter shadowy figure now tells Hooded Man, in a muffled voice....*

Short Shadowy Figure: *muffled voice* Yes, Leader. It will be done as you command.

*The viewing screen now turns off as we fade out to a close from there.*
