Scene 5
Big O’s Chromebuster strikes something in front of the enemy megadeus and dissipates. The enemy apparently had an energy shield of some sort and Roger was taken quite off guard by this.
"You’re nothing more than a coward hiding in the shadows," Roger shouted.
"I wouldn’t judge a book by its cover now Roger Smith. I have evaded the cops countless times and I even get out of the tightest situations with a souvenir!"
By now Roger has seen enough of the megadeus through the light of the Chromebuster to conclude that it was a Big. It was designed, from the looks of it, to be either a prototype for Big O, or...possibly its successor. It had arm pistons and arm shields, however it lacked the stylish helmet that the Big O had. Instead it had a smoother more 'upside-down bowl' like helmet with long sideburn like structures down the sides of the head. Its legs were like Big Duo's however the feet were obscured, but they were there. In the wind the chest seemed to move...however as the Big stepped out of the shadows coming a little closer to Big O, it was made clear that the megadeus was wearing a giant coat-like armor. It protected most of the upper arms, from the shoulders to the elbows, as well as the chest area with the exception of the cockpit glass and the ribs that made the abdomen.
The enemy Big took out a huge pistol like cannon, something the Negotiator had never seen before on a megadeus, and the piston shot a bright beam of energy at Big O. It made a deep cut on the side of the face plate.
Inside the cockpit of the mystery Big there was some laughing. There inside the glass covered cockpit of the strange megadeus was Lupin the 3rd, Fujiko, Jigen, and Goemon. Lupin was seated in the control chair.
"Hehehehehehee! I TOLD you it was real."
"Man Lupin this is fr*gg*n awesome."
"Now hold on Jigen. I this doesn’t feel right. I sense that there is something about this machine that we do not fully understand yet."
"Oh like what Goemon?"
Goemon shrugs, he knows there’s something more to this megadeus than meets the eye, however, he cannot figure out what it was exactly. Lupin looks out towards the black megadeus. He pushes down the pedals, the Big responds by powering up. Its eyes flash a dark color and then the megadeus walks forward towards the lines of Military Police, but more importantly, towards the other Big. Lupin swings a joystick back, the megadeus pulls back its arm and fires out its arm piston; Lupin pushes the joystick forward quickly and presses the button on top of the stick, the Big still running headlong at Big O throws the punch, lands it on Big O arm shields, and then hammers down the piston. Big O is forced back by the blow and buildings nearby are damaged from the blast.
"Oh yah OH YAH!! I was born to do this. Come on Big Lupin let’s get this guy."
"Big Lupin?"
"Yes Fujiko, what’s wrong with the name ~_~"
"Nothing, jeez someone’s really full of himself."
Lupin ignores her and continues throwing punches at Big O. Roger, who can see Lupin in the cockpit via monitor, soon began to regret doubting that Inspector. Big O then stops and punches Big Lupin, so hard in fact that it sends the Big flying backwards. Roger pulls back his left hand, and lifts his hand from the control stick. It then folds down and flips over revealing a new joystick. Roger pulls the stick down hard as Big O’s arm busts open into four panels. The O-Thunder fires as the joystick stops at the bottom and a barrage of energy blasts streak towards the red coated Big. It holds up its arm shields and the barrage hits it, the Big straining under the force of the attack. The ring created from the cannons in Big O’s arm then travels out and hits Big Lupin creating a massive ball of flames. Dastun at that exact moment orders his troop to fire. A dozen shells sore into the flames and strike Big Lupin, causing minimal damage...all the while Inspector Zenigata looks on dumbfounded.
"Damn...great Lupin has one of those things too. I knew it. *
he looks up at Big O* *groan* Come on, get him...just don’t kill him."
The red megadeus' eyes shine through the flames. Its pilot, the master thief, Lupin the third, struggles to figure out all of its weapons.
"ARRGH!! Where the hell are the weapons on this thing!?"
"Why don’t you just read the manual, Lupin?"
"Oh shut up Goemon. Things this old don’t HAVE manuals...DAMN IT! *slams his fist on a panel*"
The panel opens up revealing rows of buttons. Lupin, after pondering it for a moment, then slams his hand on all of them. The ribs of Big Lupin open up revealing missile bays. Zenigata gasps at the sight and hides inside the trash can pulling the lid over it, sealing it shut. Dastun orders all his men to retreat and they do so quickly. As Dastun looks back he sees Big O open up its missile bays. "Oh no..." he thinks. The missiles fire from Big Lupin and rocket toward Big O. Big O fires all of its missiles and they collide head on with the others. The blast from them sends Zenigata’s trash can flying back some fifty feet and the vehicles the Military Police were fleeing in, swerving.
The smoke clears and the Bigs stare at each other, watching, waiting for the other to make its move. Zenigata scrambles out of his totaled trash can and then looks at the two megadeuses. He shuts his eyes and screams.
"DAMN IT!! This isn’t getting us anywhere!"
Roger blinks and then looks down at the monitor in front of him, staring at the angered Inspector. Lupin too looks down at Zenigata.
"Huh?! Z-ZENIGATA?! What the hell’s he doing here?!!"
Zenigata raises his hand to his mouth.
"That’s it...Big Zenigata get over here!!"
Roger+Lupin: "Big...what?! O_O"
A noise is heard from high above them, their megadeuses tilt their heads upwards to see a trail or condensed vapor in the sky. A megadeus then lands between them, facing Big Lupin. The jets in its legs fold back in and the armor slides over them. The megadeus is brown all over except fro its head, hands, and feet. The feet are painted black and the head wears something like a giant hat. It too has arm pistons and looks very much like the Big O, however it is unlike either Big O or Big Lupin; it wears a giant armored trench coat. Roger is kind of uneasy of this point. Lupin and the gang stare completely in shock at the sight. Dastun looks back and sees the brown megadeus and he nearly stumbles over in surprise.
(Roger) "Inspector?! Y-you have a megadeus?"
(Zenigata) "Interpol’s been designing it for some time now. Never thought we'd have to use it though."
*roger face faults*
"Now then...Lupin! You’re mine! Get you’re a** over here!!"
"What?! You’ve got to be kidding me! Pops, how can you pilot that thing?"
"Does it really matter? *
Big Zenigata takes out a pair of megadeus sized handcuffs* You’re under arrest Lupin!"
Big Lupin jumps and turns around. It runs away at top speed across JFK Mark. Big Zenigata follows with its handcuffs in hand. As they disappear over the horizon, Roger and Dastun are left still in an awkward state. As Big O goes underground, Roger walks up to Dastun. They look at each other with dumb expressions on their faces and then walk together into the Speakeasy.
Across the barren desert walks a lonely man. His red coat flaps in the wind...he stops at the edge of the desert and looks out over the city. He puts down the giant cross he was carrying, and adjusts his glasses. He’s never seen such a city, it had huge domes and no plants to speak of. The tall man looks over his shoulder. Two women about 200 yards behind him and struggling to get through the sand...He smiles and then heads down into the city. Meanwhile hundreds of miles away, a sinister looking man watches him through a TV screen and laughs maniacally.
"The stage is set for you," the evil man whispers as he turns off the TV, "Mister Vash the Stampede."
