Fleming Send suggestions, corrections (this'll probably need a few...), or comments to: David Fleming -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oyaji Pai... Take this... Oyaji Someday... I'll make you human... Oyaji I promise... TITLE "A Changed Life" Yakumo The gods of fate were definitely having some fun that night... Yakumo Maybe... If I hadn't have been late for work... Keikan Hey! This's a pedestrian area! Yakumo Heh heh... 'Scuse me! Yakumo Man, if I'm late, Mama's gonna kill me! Yakumo Outta the way! Move it! Yakumo Sorry! Yakumo Gangway! Comin' through! Yakumo Ow ow ow... Yakumo Hey... Yakumo You OK? Yakumo I, uh, didn't see you... Yakumo Are you Chinese? What's your name? Pai Pai. Yakumo "Pai," huh? I'm... Yakumo Oh, this get-up? Yakumo Don't worry... I'm not a transvestite... Yakumo When I was a kid, mom got fed up with pop and left home. Yakumo Then, four years ago, dad left for Tibet, and then disappeared... Yakumo I didn't have much choice, so I got into this line of work. Pai Very scientific talk... Yakumo Does she really understand Japanese? Yakumo Geez, she's filthy... She ever heard of a bathtub? Okama1 Hey Yakumo, what's with the girl? Okama2 I thought girls weren't your strong suit... Okama1 Well, he IS 16 now... Okama1 Guess he's gotten into the kinky stuff... Yakumo Knock it off! Pai Yakumo? Yakumo Yeah... My name's Yakumo... Pai Yakumo... Fujii? Professor Fujii's son, Yakumo? Yakumo How'd you...? Pai I found you! I finally found you! Pai It's been four years since I left Tibet! Yakumo What the...? Mama Asshole! Mama Don't make the customers cry in here! Yakumo Mama! Help me! Mama Why should I? Yakumo Hey! Okama2 Eyewww... Pai Professor Fujii... Yakumo Dad?! Okama2 She says he's a professor... Okama1 Yakumo's father was famous, wasn't he? Yakumo Nah... He was just a folklore specialist with a thing for the supernatural... Yakumo I can understand why mom left him... Oyaji "How are you, Yakumo?" Oyaji "I am on my way to Kunmin from Tibet, but, unfortunately, Oyaji it looks like your father will be leaving this earth right here." Oyaji "However, the girl who has this letter is looking for you..." Oyaji "Her name is Pai. She's a kind girl who nursed me back to health." Oyaji "More importantly, she is one of the legendary beings that I have spent my life searching for, Oyaji who, it is said, have the power of eternal youth." Oyaji "She is the last surviving triclops -- the last of the 'Sanjyanunkara.'" Yakumo The 'Sanjiyanunkara?' Oyaji "Biologically, the triclopes are a species that evolved differently..." Oyaji "Commonly, they're 'monsters.'" Oyaji "Pai still doesn't know how to use the power of eternal youth, Oyaji but she says she's been alive for about 300 years..." Pai Hey, professor, Pai wants to become human, too... Oyaji Sure... If I can... Pai Really?! Oyaji "Long ago, they were fascinated by humans, so, when they found a means of doing so, Oyaji the triclopes took upon themselves the brief lifespan of humans." Oyaji "Right now, it looks like Pai is the last of the triclopes." Pai What can Pai do to become human? Oyaji Take this with you... Oyaji When I die, my son, Yakumo, will make you human... Oyaji "To become human, the 'Statue of Humanity,' is necessary. A picture of it is enclosed." Oyaji "The Statue of Humanity is at a company in Hong Kong called the 'Yogekisha.'" Oyaji "Please, Yakumo! Take Pai to Hong Kong to pick up the Statue of Humanity! Please" Yakumo He can't be serious! Yakumo What's with this "Hong Kong" shit?! Yakumo He can't tell me to just drop everything...! Yakumo Why should I do anything for that grubby little... Okama 2 It took some work, but I fixed her up a bit... Pai Don't I look strange, Yakumo? Yakumo C..cute... Yakumo But that's got nothing to do with it! Yakumo There's no such thing as monsters! Announcer Please look at this! It suddenly appeared in the skies above the Shinjuku area! What on earth is it? Kyakusan What the...? Pai Takuhi! Yakumo So what's this "Takuhi" thing?! Pai He's my friend who lives in my staff! Yakumo Huh?! Try not to introduce us, OK? Pai When he gets excited, he loses control -- if we don't calm him down soon, he'll get REALLY dangerous! Yakumo Leave me outta this! Pai Stop! Don't you recognize me?! Yakumo Ow! Pai Takuhi! Stop! Yakumo No way... Pai N..no... Yakumo I'm gonna die... Pai Don't die! Yakumo! Yakumo I don't believe it... Yakumo She really isn't human... Pai Takuhi! Calm yourself! Yakumo I..I could've sworn that that Tahuhi thing... Yakumo My clothes are wrecked, but I'm not hurt... Yakumo It wasn't a dream, was it? Yakumo She was trying to protect me... Yakumo Hong Kong, huh? Yakumo Well, we finally made it to Hong Kong! Yakumo And what the hell's this mark? Yakumo It's a real pain... Pai Yakumo! Hurry! Hurry! Pai Let's get to the Yogekisha! Yakumo What're you smiling about? I'm in a bad mood... Pai I'm gonna be human soon! Pai I'm really happy! Yakumo Are humans that great? Yakumo Say, Pai... Why do you want to be a human so badly? Pai Don't know... Pai I've wanted it for 300 years, but I forgot why... Yakumo What an airhead... Pai Found it, Yakumo! Pai This is it! Yakumo Yep, no mistaking it -- this is it! Pai This Statue of Humanity is here, right? Pai Pai's gonna be made human, right? Ling-Ling H..hey! Ling-Ling Hang on a second, you people! Pai The Statue of Humanity! Yakumo Come back here! Yakumo Aw, shit! Pai Yakumo! Look out! Ling-Ling He must've died on the spot... Yakumo Yep! Yakumo Ow... Huh? Yakumo Huh? What happened? Pai I'm so glad... Ling-Ling H..hey, you! Ling-Ling You're OK? Yakumo Looked like he was about to hit me, but I guess he missed... Ling-Ling He MISSED?! Pai The Statue of Humanity is gone! Ling-Ling So, you're Professor Fujii's son? Yakumo Yeah. Well? Ling-Ling Yeah, this's the one that the professor left... Ling-Ling He said that it was important for some reason, so he stashed a tracker in it. Pretty handy... Yakumo So, who were those guys? Ling-Ling You tell me... Yakumo So, what does the Yogekisha do? Ling-Ling We publish a magazine that specializes in the occult. I'm the assistant editor. Ling-Ling AND the only employee... Pai This is the thief's house? Yakumo Man! That place is huge! Ling-Ling Antique thieves and a millionaire... What's the connection...? Ling-Ling If we pull this off, we ought to be able to collect damages... Ling-Ling I wonder if this'll sound reasonable... Yakumo Ling-Ling, hurry up! Yakumo This place sure is spooky -- I wonder if there are any monsters here... Ling-Ling C'mon, Yakumo -- unscientific stuff like that don't exist! Yakumo But didn't you say that the Yogekisha specializes in the occult? Ling-Ling That's just my job! If there's money in it, it's OK... Yakumo Hey! That's fraud! Yakumo What's the matter, Pai? Pai ...feel something... Pai feels something... Pai The Statue of Humanity! Pai The Statue of Humanity... It's here... Pai This can make Pai human... Ling-Ling Who are you? Huan I'm Huan -- the mistress of this mansion. Ling-Ling You probably don't feel that way right now... Huan After my husband died in a freak accident a year ago, strange creatures began to appear in the mansion. Huan And then, wierd things started to happen... Like what happened to me tonight... Yakumo They're those creatures! Yakumo They stole this from the Yogekisha! Huan Now that you mention it, I haven't seen that before. Certainly a strange-looking statue... Ling-Ling We call it "The Statue of Humanity," but we don't really know much about it. Huan Is that so... Chou What are you doing over there? Huan Chou! Chou Mistress! Chou Who are you people?! Ling-Ling Ah... I'm Ling-Ling Lee of the Yogekisha. Ling-Ling We traced this antique here, which was just stolen from our company -- but we aren't suspicious at all! Ling-Ling But, first, leave your monster-extermination problems to the professionals! Ling-Ling Hmmm... necessary expenses'd be... hmmm... quite a bargain at a mere $3000 a day! Yakumo Hey! Didn't you just say that there's no such thing as... Ling-Ling It's OK if there's money involved! We found the statue, right? So butt out! Huan It doesn't look like they know anything about the statue... Chou In that case... Ling-Ling Geez! Ling-Ling And, if you act now, I'll throw in these high-quality wards! Ling-Ling They're a bargain in sets of ten, and they're easy to use! Chou We don't need any! Ling-Ling Well, I guess we'll be heading back to work now... Chou That won't be necessary. Chou I'll just have to kill all of you in self-defense. Yakumo You've gotta be kidding, old man! Chou I'm serious. Ling-Ling So, you admit that you were the thief? Chou I merely had something that will serve an important purpose brought here. Chou Time to say goodbye... Ling-Ling Run! Huan Do they seriously think that they can escape? Yakumo Man, Ling-Ling -- you're good! Ling-Ling Comes from living in Hong Kong! Pai You said that you don't believe in monsters, but you were still carrying around that ward! Ling-Ling That was business, too! Business! Yakumo Shit! They got me! Lackey A zombie! Peon A zombie? Lackey This guy's a zombie! Peon A zombie... Ling-Ling Yakumo! C'mon! Move it! Ling-Ling What happened?! It looked like you got shot! Yakumo Zombie...? Yakumo Hey, Ling-Ling! Do you know what a "zombie" is? Ling-Ling "Zombie..." Now, where have I... Ling-Ling Oh, yeah! Professor Fujii! Oyaji "The Triclopes: Three-eyed, mystical creatures. Immortal; beautiful in appearance." Oyaji "Often bewitch the human heart and devour the souls of humans." Oyaji "The person whose soul has been devoured becomes an undead -- one whose body will not die." Oyaji "And on the forehead of the undead will appear the mark 'Uu.'" Ling-Ling Heck, people made up that story a long time ago... Ling-Ling Hmm... I wonder if we'll ever make it out of here... Yakumo She's right, isn't she? Yakumo You ATE my soul, didn't you?! Ling-Ling No way! Yakumo You ATE my soul, Pai? Yakumo It's coming again! Pai I didn't "eat" your soul... Pai These are just demons that are temporarily phased into this dimensions. Yakumo Who are you?! You aren't Pai, are you?! Pai I didn't "eat" your soul -- I only merged it with my own! Yakumo My soul... and your soul...?! Pai That is how I saved you in Shinjuku... Pai And now that your body is indestructible, I won't need to do so again... Pai We are now one. Pai If I die, you will die, too. If I become human, you, too, will become human once more. Pai What's the point of having a zombie if he can't handle something like this by himself... Yakumo Are you all right? Chou So, you destroyed my Tohchao, huh? What the hell are you people? Yakumo I don't know for sure, but ,somehow, I don't think we're normal humans... Chou If you give back the Statue of Humanity, I'll let you leave. Pai No! This can make Pai human, so it's a really important statue! Chou Is that so? Chou Come, Sohkai! Chou Sohkai! Kill the punk and the girl! Yakumo Get out of here... Yakumo Get out of here, triclops... You said I should fight by myself, didn't you? Pai Over here, Mister Monster! If you don't come this way, I won't give you the statue! Yakumo You idiot! Stop it! Get out of here with the statue! Yakumo If you give it to him, you won't be able to become human! Pai Hurry! I don't want to die! Yakumo Get out of here! Hurry! Yakumo Yeah! Yakumo If I can reach it... Pai No! Chou Shut up! This belongs to Lord Kaiyanwan! Yakumo Who's this "Kaiyanwan?" Chou A zombie! Chou That's ridiculous! Ling-Ling I wouldn't try to run away. Chou W..why...? Huan You killed my husband, didn't you? Huan I'll take that statue back, now. Pai S..stop! Chou So, you've betrayed me, Shunkai? Pai Don't die! Chou Do you think I'm just going to GIVE this to you?! Huan Chou, you bastard! Chou If you want to find the statue, you'll have to work for it... Yakumo Man... We went to all that trouble, and for what...? Pai It's OK -- at least Yakumo's safe. Pai But the Stutue of Humanity is gone, isn't it... Yakumo Just leave it to me! Yakumo I'll turn you into a human yet! Pai Really? Really, Yakumo? Yakumo Yep. Yakumo But I have NO idea how... Yakumo H..hey! Waitaminute! That tickles! Hey! Shunkai I apologize, Lord Kaiyanwan. Shunkai I will get back the Statue of Humanity by the time of your rebirth. Shunkai Please forgive me. Shunkai A boy with the mark of the undead... Shunkai How interesting...
