Scene 13 - “I Will Be The Last One”
The Formers, seeking to restore the "live forever lifestyle" throughout the world, have set Tokyo city’s docking stations ablaze, looking for the one who holds the key to the mysterious Tokyo Steel project.
Meanwhile, as the city burns, the one called Hashimoto scours every corner of the city looking for his Unreal - the original, synthetic bliss-provider that was later used as the mold for the "New Persuader's" 2nd generation of dance destroyers. He had built here nearly two years ago, but since the rise of the 2nd generation, their time together has been mostly spent underground, hiding from "those in the know".
When the second of the three Tokyo city fires was set, the two left their hideaway and agreed to part ways in the hopes of confusing all those who sought answers. Lovers in ways unimaginable, the two had agreed to meet at a secret place outside the city’s limits. Unfortunately, unforeseen damage to her parts and the associated “re-boot” of her system resulted in a change of direction for the “Last of the Unreals”, leading her to a burning docking station for an infusion.
Fearing this scenario, Hashimoto races to the burning station with the hope of saving his prized creation. It is here where the two lovers, one human and one synthetic, come together for what they now realize is the final time. Disoriented and confused, the “Last of the Unreals” stares from a window at her seemingly lover, while he pleads for her to flee the flames.
Meanwhile, a Former can be heard in the distance, motivated by the synthetic screams coming form the station. He runs towards Hashimoto, hoping to find the answers to un-doing the events of the past.
As the Former comes into her view, memories suddenly flood the Unreal’s mind – the re-boot has been compromised and she is suddenly aware of here surroundings. She looks out the window, now realizing her lover is desperately calling her from across the Fire. Her synthetic fibers quiver with unknown emotions as she comes to realize that it is too late and she can not escape.
She can be heard saying…”I will be the last one…”
The Backstory...
In this story, there are two generations of “Unreals” that walk the streets of Tokyo city. The first generation of these synthetic creations was developed to be a provider of sex, submission and tolerance to the rich and lonely who sought an expensive alternative to human companionship. Unfortunately, it wasn’t long before word of these freshly created she-bots soon reached the all-knowing ears of the “New Persuader”.
Having eradicated dancing and desire from the metropolis of New York City, the New Persuader was now setting its sights on the Pacific Rim - a long outstanding haven for those seeking the “live forever lifestyle”. Bowing to new influence and persuasion, the manufacturers of the Unreals struck a deal with “The Requester” (the New Persuader’s dealer) to produce a new army of “Seekers”, complete with new and disturbing motivations.
During the construction phase, these 2nd generation Unreals were infused with a rare and mysterious material know as the “Tokyo Steel”, making them nearly indestructible. Not only did this silver fabric prove impenetrable, it had the power to influence the minds of anyone that came in contact with it – The perfect, textural extension of the New Persuader’s vision. Only a select few scientists had knowledge of the material, all of whom were later dissolved by The Requester. The 2nd generation Unreals possessed all of the beauty and poise of the first generation models, which made them hard to distinguish. With one touch, however, the difference was unmistakable.
With Tokyo.quickly falling under the influence of The New Persuader, word of a new army soon reached an elite band of rebels known as “The Formers”. Although victorious against the original Persuader and his army of primitive robots known as the “Dance Police”, they were not prepared when one of their own turned to sip from “The Modern Seduction” and rise as the New Persuader.
Reeling from the unforeseen actions of “The Traitor”, The Formers once again found themselves battling a new enemy and defending the live forever lifestyle from their underground bases. When word came that the Traitor had set his sight on eradicating ....Tokyo.... of all who dare to dance, The Formers took their show on the road.
Armed with new purpose and revenge, The Formers made their way to Tokyo with the intent of dissolving (literally) the new army of Unreals – now known widely as "Seekers". Upon their arrival, they were quickly befriended by a scientist named ________, who was an original advocate of the “live forever lifestyle” in ..Asia... Part of an elite team of chemists known as “The Enablers”, _________ had unknowingly created a material that would come to be known as “The Tokyo Steel”.
Initially unaware that she had created something so far-reaching and dangerous that it would change the world forever, _________ was determine to make things right. Fortunately, she had developed an antidote…A synthetic fire that would weaken the “Tokyo Steel”, and thus the Unreal itself. ________ wasted no time in providing The Formers with what was left of the formula for the repellent (an explosion had burned much of The Enablers lab down). Conversely, The New Persuader wasted no time destroying _________ upon hearing this.
The "Battle of Tokyo" would rage on for many weeks. Unable to fully realize the formula for the antidote, the Formers were unable to fully match the sheer power of the Tokyo Steel-infused Unreals/Seekers. In a situation that mirrored the one they had witnessed in the "Fall of New York”, The Formers scrambled to find another weakness in the army. Fortunately, one would present itself in the form of the one they call Hashimoto.
When the original Unreals were constructed, they were formatted with a special code in their heads that signaled it was time to seek assistance whenever damage was sustained. If an Unreal was damaged in any way (I.e. a “John” attempted to harm them following an encounter), the system within would re-boot and an auto-pilot mechanism would take over, instructing the Unreal to seek the nearest “docking station”. These docking stations were erected in secret locations across Tokyo and contained all of the technology required to repair a damaged unit.
Note - It was at these docking stations where the New Persuader secretly injected the first generation Unreals with the “Tokyo Steel”.
Sharing a similar desire to live free, Hashimoto sent a secret message to The Formers, advising them of this construction quirk - The thought being that they would seek out these “docking stations”, wait for the damaged 2nd generation Unreals to arrive, and then destroy them with their nearly realized antidote. Every station would be set ablaze. It was his hope that he and his original Unreal could remain underground until the 2nd generation units were destroyed. Unfortunately, The Requester was also hunting for answers, specifically the secrets contained in the original Unreal.
Eventually, The Requester and his Hench-women would force Hashimoto and his Unreal from their underground hideaway. Knowing that all of the answers could not be accounted for if they were to separate, the two lovers agreed to flee quietly to a secret hideaway just outside the city limits, away from the influence of the New Persuader.
