LOTM: Howling Winds P43/Transcript

(The scene opens to Taji looking out a window at the city streets smirking)

Taji:...

(Mother walks in)

Mother: The defense was a success Takahashi-san. The police won't be attempting another attack anytime soon.

Taji: Send a messenger to the police. Inform them that if they even think of trying this again, I'll bomb a random town or city.

Mother: As you wish.

(Mother walks off)

Mother:....Hm?

(Mother stops and looks out another window)

Mother:...Taji, you might wanna come see this.

(Taji walks over and looks out)

Taji:... Well well well.

(There standing before the building is Kaede)

Kaede: TAJI!!!! COME OUT AND FACE ME NOW!!!!!

Taji: Hehehe. The Tiger has come to die. She's not worth my time anymore. Let my men deal with her.

Mother: You sure?

Taji: As powerful as the Tiger is, they are just 2. They'll be bested easily.

Mother: Hmph.

(Kaede then glares)

Kaede: Although if you don't mind, I brought a little surprise to ensure we aren't bothered!

(Kaede gives a hand signal. The two then notice something coming down the street)

Taji: What...?!

(The two see charging toward them are Kaede's friends and fellow students, all Gifted)

Taro: Let's do this!! *Fires eye beam*

(Taro fires an eye beam toward the window Taji is at, but Mother protects him with her ribbons)

Taji:... Fine then... Destroy them all.

Mother: *To a radio* ALL FORCES MOBILIZE!! WE'RE UNDER ATTACK, DO NOT LET THESE CHILDREN THROUGH!!!

(The scene cuts to the heroes charging in)

Kaede:...

(Syndicate forces are seen exiting the building and taking up defensive positions)

Kaede: They know we're coming now!

Keji: FINE WITH ME!!

(Keji uses his Gift to blast himself forward)

Keji: LET'S GO!!!

(Keji launches over a wall and kicks down two grunts as the Gifted clash with the grunts)

Taro: TAKE THIS!!!

(Taro blasts some grunts down)

Keji: Jin, we've started the attack! What's your status?

Jin: *Over radio* Jacking in now! This building's a damn fortress, it- GET DOWN!!!

(Auto turrets activate and fire at the heroes as they take cover)

Jin: *Over radio* Automated turrets, part of the building's security protocol! I'll try and see if I can disable it!

(As the turrets fire, Miu holds out her hands and a shield is put up around her and some students)

Toka: Man I love your shield Miu!

Miu: Same!

(Egao is then seen running out to the fight and sees Miu protecting the others)

Mother: *Radio* Egao what's going on?!

Egao: Turrets are struggling against one of the students! But don't worry, I've got it!

(As Miu holds up the shield, Ghost Hands form around her)

Toka: ! MIU!!

Miu: Huh?

(The hands tickle Miu)

Miu: ! *Laughing*

(Miu struggles to keep the shield up as the turrets keep firing)

Keji: S-Shit, Jin how's the hack going?!

Jin: Close, just a little longer!

(Amei near by spots Egao)

Amei: Sis... I have to stop you...

(Amei starts heading toward Egao)

Egao: Come on kid, just put the shield down so those turrets can turn your buddies into paste!

Amei: MIA!!

Egao: !

(Amei tackles Egao)

Egao: GNN!! Oh ho, hello again sister!

(Egao kicks Amei off)

Amei: NN!

(Amei and Egao both stand)

Egao: Hmph.

Amei: Sis please... Don't do this...

Egao: Don't do what? Help the only REAL family I had since that fateful day?

Amei: Sis that WAS your real family you lost! The family WE lost! Taji's brainwashed you!

Egao: He's made me better sister! More than I ever was back then!

Amei: That why you won't show your true heritage off?

Egao:...

(Egao adjusts her pants and her hood, allowing a brown cat tail and brown cat ears to pop out)

Amei:....

Egao: That better sis?

Amei:...

(The security system then shuts off)

Egao: !!!

Jin: *Voice* Security's down! Get inside the building and quick!

Taji: *Voice* Egao! Get back in here and help Mother and the men defend the building!

Egao: *Growls* Fine! This ain't over sis!

(Egao runs back inside)

Amei: Mia!

(Amei tries to give chase before grunts block her path)

Grunt #1: THERE!!

Amei: ! EEP!!

Grunt #1: Let's skin a cat!

(The Grunts prepare to attack, when suddenly a beam is fired at the grunts knocking them down. Amei looks and sees Yuri)

Amei: Thanks Yuri!

Yuri: Don't mention it!

Kaede: Keji, our team will enter the building! The rest of you, push in and handle the grunts!

Student #3: You got it!

Kira: Go get 'em guys!

(The 5 make a run for it)

Grunt #2: STOP THEM!!

(Yui turns and fires electricity at the grunts before rejoining her friends. Inside Taji is watching)

Taji: Come little Tiger cub... I'm waiting...

(Taji glares and glows red)
