Annihilation
(YamatoMan narrates)
YamatoMan.EXE
My name is YamatoMan.EXE, a samurai thief navi from the Undernet. Many enemies and opponents, ranging from police to criminal syndicates, have tried to stop me, but to no avail. When me and my allies are after something, there's nothing that can stop us. I am one of the 'Thieves of Justice,' YamatoMan.EXE.
Carlos H. Lupin
Master Carlos is my operator. Although an indirect cousin of Lupin the 3rd, Master Carlos is still a skilled thief with no 'impossible' in his dictionary. He has a sense of duty and great pride that helps him strive on, but he's also the rival of the Net Guardians' leader, David. His fears/dislikes, among other things, are dogs(which he could barely suppress on the job), bishounen, cowboys, and totalitarians.
Naomi.EXE
Naomi is a female net navi also operated by Master Carlos. Despite her acting like a run-of-the-mill schoolgirl ditz to her opponents, her enormous power and skills reduce it to a simple act. However, she's still a nice person, and looks up to Master Carlos like a big brother, hence she refers to him as such.
Oscar M. Samson
This man is Master Carlos' partner, a professional, cool, assasin skilled with firearms. His trademark weapons are the Desert Eagle and the M-16 Full Custom. His sense of duty makes him a good man to count on.
Inspector Kouichi Zenigata
Inspector Zenigata is the descendant of the famous Heiji Zenigata. Although his main goal is to capture Lupin the 3rd, he's also trying to capture Master Carlos. He's a real pain for all of us to deal with.
So, We're all a bunch of interesting fellows, what's gonna happen to us this time?
(Somewhere in Italy)
(a man, facing a suspect, holds up a small plastic bag with hair in it)
Man: See? Who else has here has this color? How about you give yourself up before the forensics beat you?
(A detective walks in)
Detective: It's planted.
(Man gasps, suspect sighs)
Man: What do you mean?
Detective: Did you notice any trace of the roots, and a slight shortage at the back of Dr. Riviera's hair? It's obviously been cut and planted in various areas of the body. And judging from the pair of scissors I just noticed in your pants pocket, then It is you Mr. Cienaggia, who killed your cousin and tried framing it on Dr. Riviera!
Cienaggia: I, I give up. (collapses to his hands and knees) You are as good as I've heard, Detective Giovanni.
Anchorman: In Italy, Famous Freelance-Detective-for-Hire Roberto Giovanni has solved the infamous Cienaggia murder, and now plans on capturing the famed Carlos Lupin. We'll now bring you an interview with WNN's Joseph Blackburg, right now.
(Zenigata is eating japanese food in a hotel room)
Joseph: So, Mr. Giovanni, how exactly are you going to capture Mr. Lupin?
Giovanni: Well, I have the freedom to stop his crimes where the police cannot.
Zenigata: (finishes eating a ball of rice) A freelancer, huh? Some hotshot.
Giovanni: Unlike Interpol's Inspector Zenigata, I'm able to think in the same level of a thief, without the tie-ups of police affiliation.
Zenigata: Rrrr... (smashes his dishes in anger) Why you-!
Joseph: I see.
Carlos: (watching) Well Detective, You probably know who and what you're dealing with if you can spew that much crap out of your mouth! (laughs)
Giovanni: Anyways, I'll also maintain security of the new 'Great Thieves of History' exhibit at the Crescent City museum, with a display of treasures Carlos and company have left behind.
Naomi: Oniichan, he seems to be a threat.
Carlos: Maybe...
Giovanni: The only reason for the inclusion of what they left behind, which is completely worthless in and of themselves, is to lure them into my trap.
Carlos: (swoops up in intense anger) WHAT?! Worthless?! I bled, sweated and toiled for justice, and some damn DETECTIVE calls them WORTHLESS?!?! He'll get his in the damn end! (growls)
Joseph: So, it's the challenge of the great detective. Good luck to you, Detective Giovanni.
Challenge of the Great Detective
(The NG's House, a tall black man with an afro, shades and a beard in a black business suit walks in)
Man: Is Carlos Lupin in?
Jonathan: So, who are you anyway?
Man: Oscar M. Samson.
Cyros: Who?
Oscar: Like I said, I am Oscar M. Samson. May I please see Carlos Lupin?
David: (walks up to Oscar) I see. Well, I don't need any more of that guy's problems walking through the-
Oscar: (quickly pulls out a gun) If you didn't have the brain cells to know, I am an old friend of Carlos. I just want to reunite with him, that's all. Anyways, he's expected my arrival, so you better stop provoking me or else... (fires the gun, David twists to the side to avoid the shot and it hits the wall resulting in a splotch of red liquid)
David: The hell? (reaches for his shotgun)
Carlos: (popping out of his room) David, what are you doing? Let Oscar in already! Quit holding him up!
David: Well you could have let us know! Or don't you remember how your LAST personal visitor tried to kill you and EXPLODED?
Oscar: Hmph. (walks to Carlos' room) Don't worry, it'll wear off in a few washes. (laughs)
Moe: Eh, leave it there. It goes fine with the green, brown, and black blotches on that wall already.
(Carlos' room)
(Oscar opens the door)
Oscar: Yo! (smokes a cigarette) It's been five years and you still plan your jobs out, eh Carlos?
Carlos: Well you kinda changed, Oscar. Five years, and you're smoking cigarettes! (tosses a cigar at Oscar, who catches it)
Oscar: Hey, if you're unable to buy items from some psuedo-communist country, you have to use what you could get. (smokes the cigar) Anyway, I heard about what's going on with that Detective Giovanni character. How did he become famous, anyway?
Carlos: A few years ago, an attempt at murdering the Pope was made. The police were baffled who and why tried to do that, when Detective Giovanni arrived from Venice, and solved the whole thing shortly after. Turned out to be a satanist or something.
Oscar: Damn!
Carlos: Anything happen in your sector?
Oscar: Well, I did kill two gangs with one shot.
Carlos: What was it, one man part of two one-man gangs? Just kidding. How'd that work?
Oscar: This one gang hired me a sum to oust their rival gang. After that, the gang I was hired to kill gave me an even larger sum to kill the gang I worked with. More and more, they wanted me to kill either gang, and it began to piss me off. There were arrangements I made to have both gangs unexpectedly meet in an abandoned warehouse. Ultimately, I hid in the corner, away from their sights, and fired at the center of the building. this triggered the gangs to fire at eachother, which ended with both gangs dead. Afterwards, I enterd both hideouts, took all of the money I could find, and ran off.
Carlos: Wow.
(Carlos' HP)
Yamatoman: So who is this Oscar Samson?
Naomi: He's an old friend of Oniichan.
Yamatoman: I see. A rather interesting fellow himself. Anyways, we'd better get planning on this heist.
Carlos: -Oh yeah! (puts on a disguise)
(Crescent City Museum)
Giovanni: Alright, Carlos Lupin. Let's see what you're going to do.
Zenigata: He's going to rob us right under our noses, that's what he's going to do!
Giovanni: Attain silence, Inspector! We have plenty of guards and a sophisticated electronic security system! There's nothing for you to scream about.
Zenigata: Well what if that guy gets past the initial security, huh? I'm suprised that you don't have a back-up plan of any sort.
Giovanni: You're one to talk! You haven't done any of the sort in the past, Inspector! Besides, I you don't know what my plan really is.
Guard: Department of Electronics?
Worker: Yes, I've heard about problems with the server recently.
Guard: Well, I really haven't recalled any...
Zenigata: Alright, who are you?
Worker: Like I said, I'm from the Department of Electronics.
Giovanni: (walks up to the worker)Do you have verification?
Worker: (shows his card)
Giovanni: (takes and examines it) ...Alright. It's down in the basement.
Worker: Thank you. (leaves)
Zenigata: That's forged.
Giovanni: Please Inspector, patience! Interestingly enough, I've been hearing of problems with the server as well. He's certainly going to excessive lengths.
Zenigata: Are you saying-!?
Giovanni: Patience!
Oscar: (walks into the exibit without his shades, thinking) OK, he's going in, now I just need to look around the exibit. (puts on a special pair of shades displaying the security system) I see, it's all electronically connected. (runs to another guard) excuse me, where's the restroom?
Guard: Over there.
Oscar: Thanks! (runs to a stall and locks the door)
Zenigata: Is that Oscar Samson?
Giovanni: Who?
(The restrooms)
Oscar: (sitting on the seat, talking to his watch) Carlos, the entire security system's connected to the server.
Carlos: (hiding in the server room) Sweet. We'll go exactly as planned.
Oscar: OK.
Carlos: Plug-in! YamatoMan.EXE, Naomi.EXE, Execute!
(SecurityComputer)
Carlos: Alright, I need you to download certain files to these places in the computer.
Yamatoman: What do they do?
Carlos: Well, 1 hour after the museum closes, these files open automatically, commanding the computer to deactivate the security.
Naomi: Because of the small size of the museum, only a small number of guards will be on duty tonight.
Carlos: OK, let's get to work, I'll explain the rest while you do so.
Yamatoman: OK!
Naomi: OK!
Carlos: YamatoMan, The front and the side areas are for the keyboards, camera management, and monitors. Naomi, plant your files in the back areas. They are the memory areas, switch room, and core. Anyways, the only actual guard is Detective Giovanni. All of the other guards are my personal associates. At that point, Detective Giovanni will walk to the server room, checking on my 'progress.' When his back is turned, an associate knocks him cold, and locks him in a bathroom stall. The security system should be down by then. It is that time, that we get all of my past treasures and leave, providing the detective with a note before getting out.
Voice: Unfortunately for you, I've heard all of what you're going to do.
Yamatoman: Who are you?
Voice: SonicMan.EXE!
Naomi: Do you know who I am?
Sonicman: Should I care about some blue-haired girl navi?
Naomi: I am Naomi.EXE, the Golden Angel!
Sonicman: Pfft. Yeah, so you're Carlos' other navi. What, did you think you were fear-inducingly infamous?
Naomi: Well...why not?
Sonicman: Yeesh, I'll blast you to deletion!
Naomi: I don't care if it's not nice to point, but I just want to point something behind you.
Yamatoman: (on a platform with a bow and arrows) Yamato Arrow! (arrows fly into SonicMan's back)
Sonicman: Uwaaa-!
Naomi: Hyper Missle! (blasts SonicMan in the face)
Sonicman: Dammit... Wave Cannon! (blasts Naomi in the shoulder)
Naomi: Ahhh!!! (stumbles back and regains balance)
Sonicman: (turns around) And just who are you anyway?
Yamatoman: YamatoMan.EXE. Great thief of the Undernet and former guard of Ganguro-Boi!
Sonicman: Who?
Yamatoman: S.
Sonicman: Okay, you're kinda famous. I should get some good merit points by deleting both of you anyway.
Naomi: (jumps up from behind) A mere fantasy! (knees SonicMan in the back)
Sonicman: (is barely injured) What the heck? Is that how you want to play, huh? (aims at Naomi) Eat this! (fires Wave Cannon, which Naomi dodges) Humph.
Sonicman: (Warps to behind Naomi, where SonicMan absorbs the waves and charges up to an even more powerful attack) Crushing Pulse Frequency! (fires toward the ground)
Yamato, Naomi: Barrier! (blocks the waves)
Sonicman: Oh brother, so you're faster than the speed of sound?
Yamato, Naomi: Now, to finish you off!
Yamatoman: Yamato Koushen! (fires a beam from his crest at SonicMan)
Naomi: Missle Storm! (fires a barrage of missles at SonicMan)
Sonicman: No, I couldn't end up like this... (explodes in deletion)
(Main Floor)
Giovanni: Hmmm...it's been over an hour Carlos is surely expecting me to check up on him by now. Might as well oblige him. (while he is about to walk down the stairs, an imposter guard tries to knock him cold) Oof! (spins around and grapples with the guard) So he has a man on the inside? I suspected as much.
Zenigata: (hears it) Complete vigilance! (runs toward Giovanni's location, only to get knocked out himself by another guard)
Giovanni: What's this? Just how many of you are in on it? (A third guard comes up from behind and holds back his arms) Well this is a pathetic sight. I've checked all your backgrounds personally. Either Carlos went to ridiculous lenghts to forge your certificates or you really are law enforcement officers siding with a thief. Perhaps there's no hope for such a town. (is finally knocked unconscious)
Carlos: (hears Giovanni tumbling down the stairs) Buruzai.
(imposter guards carry the unconscoius Giovanni and Zenigata to the men's room)
Yamato, Naomi: Ready to Plug Out!
Carlos: Alright! Plug Out!
(Oscar Samson walks in)
Oscar: Yo!
Carlos: Hey man! Now, we have an hour to wait. Wanna drink?
(One hour later)
Carlos: Let's go! (runs out)
Oscar: Sweet. (runs out)
(Carlos and the gang run to the exibit, retreiving all the items)
(Carlos walks to the stall Detective Giovanni is in)
Carlos: (writes a note and plants it on the stall door) Hope you enjoy your sleep, Detective!
(The next day)
Giovanni: Ugh, my head... Huh? (grabs the note and reads it)
[Let's see, you must be awake if you're reading this! Anyway, I just recollected my past treasures to once again give to others (with a small portion for myself and my friends). Arrivedemchi, Giovanni!
-Carlos H. Lupin
Vash the Stampede's my bitch! -Oscar M. Samson]
Giovanni: Hmph, victor by conspiracy. Should have him reclassified as a sydicate rather than a thief. (crumples up the note, walks to the server room) Such distinct physical proportions and yet the local officials still claim he is a master of disguise. Ridiculous. (passes the exhibit) All his items gone, as expected. But the museum had no plans to keep them anyway, so it doesn't matter. The only point of this challenge was to determine Carlos' style and level of predictability, and other than his allies who will certainly be losing their commission if I find out they really are guards, he's presented no surprises. (arrives at the server and logs on) and here's the real prize: clues and evidence. (downloads the logfiles from the recording he set up of the Sonicman battle) Now that I have some actual footage of Carlos and his navis in action, bringing them to justice got much, much easier.
Carlos: (in a car, giving away various items to people in the ghetto district as Oscar slowly drives on) Enjoy, people! It's yours from the beginning, and it's yours once again! (laughs) No one can stop Mr. Domino!
