Little Jumper 2

------------------------------------

045:
TEXT1: 0010 INLC

BOX1: Mankind had secretly
BOX2: completed the creation of the "Time Jumper",
BOX3: a machine capable of time travel.

BOX4: It decomposed matter into individual particles
BOX5: and rebuilt them after "time jumping."

BOX6: However, due to doubts about whether life
BOX7: could survive such a process,
BOX8: in addition to worries about its impact on the public order,

BOX9: the use of such technology was forbidden under international treaties
BOX10: and kept hidden from the general populace.

046:
BOX1: For now,
BOX2: let's ignore that knowledge;
BOX3: as this story,
BOX4: passing through seventeen years time,

TEXT1: is about the meeting of these two people.

047:
TITLE: Chapter 2: My Dad Is 17 Years Old!?


048:

BUBBLE1: Mom

SIGN: Ichinose - Toshi (?), Haruka, Hiroki

049:
BUBBLE1: Mom....

BUBBLE2: Hiroki! Who is this girl!?
BUBBLE3: I already told you! This is your granddaughter, Chimari!
BUBBLE4: Granddaughter!? Have you hiding this child from us!?

BUBBLE5: Come on, I'm 17! How can I be the father of a 15 year-old girl!?
BUBBLE6: Like I said earlier, she came from the future riding some huge machine!

BUBBLE7: Then where is this supposed machine, huh?
BUBBLE8: It melted away as suddenly as it appeared. How many times do I have to say all this!?

050:
BUBBLE1: Whatever it was, it really messed up the road in front of us.
BUBBLE2: Those guys have been repairing it since early this morning...
sfx: gagagagaga (construction noises)

BUBBLE3: Why is she wearing your shirt?
BUBBLE4: She was naked when she first appeared, so I didn't really have a choice.

TEXT1: After using some kind of amazing power, she went into the house.
BUBBLE5: Mom! Are you here?

TEXT2: Then she just sort of passed out....
BUBBLE6: Mo ... m....
sfx: furaaa (wobble, in this case the sound of her falling over)

BUBBLE7: Why didn't you tell us about this before?
BUBBLE8: Weren't you guys knocked out cold?

BUBBLE9: Anyway! This is your granddaughter from the future! Got it?

051:
BUBBLE1: I don't get it.
BUBBLE2: As expected from your father, Hiroki. Idiocy runs throughout the Ichinose bloodline, after all.

BUBBLE3: What's that supposed to mean?
BUBBLE4: What's that supposed to mean?

BUBBLE5: Nevermind that! Dad, get to work!
BUBBLE6: And Hiroki, you get to school!

BUBBLE7: I'll look after the girl while your gone.
BUBBLE8: Okay, okay.

052:
BUBBLE1: Nothing particularly important is happening.
BUBBLE2: Ichinose Chimari is resting,
BUBBLE3: the Ichinose household is as usual,
BUBBLE4: and Ichinose Hiroki is on his way to "Nanshou High...."

BUBBLE5: Now then, what should our next course of action be...?
BUBBLE6: Ahhhh.

BUBBLE7: Chief Fuwa!

053:
BUBBLE1: Kozakura....
BUBBLE2: Kozakura can't eat anymore shark fin...!
sfx: uuuun (moaning)
sfx: munya munya (talking [or just moving her mouth] in her sleep)

BUBBLE3: Shock her.
BUBBLE4: GI
sfx: bachibachi (the sparkling of lightning)

BUBBLE5: Gyaaaaaa!

TEXT1: Ichinose Chimari

054:
BUBBLE1: Is she REALLY my daughter?
BUBBLE2: I mean, that was the first time I ever liked a girl at first sight.
TEXT1: Ichinose Chimari Father: Hiroki

BUBBLE3: What is it that I'm feeling then?
BUBBLE4: Maybe it's what they call "paternal love...?"
sfx: uuuuu (groaning)
sfx: kon (pop)

NOTE:
So which girl is your favorite?
You better decide quick or
I'll hit you again!

Shiratori Kana
055:
BOX1: ... Favorite, huh?
BOX2: This isn't good,
BOX3: yearning for my own daughter.

BUBBLE1: Why do I have to be the father!?
BUBBLE2: When did I even make a ki--

BOX4: Hold on.
BOX5: I can't make a kid on my own.

TEXT1: In other words,
TEXT2: If I have a 15 year-old daughter 17 years in the future,
TEXT3: then at some point I'm going to find a girl as cute as Chimari and....

BUBBLE3: YES!

BOX6: If I can save her mom soon, this summer
BOX7: is going to be AWESOME!!

056:
BUBBLE1: Hmmmmm.

BUBBLE2: Ichinose! Stand in the hallway!
BUBBLE3: Yes, Sir, right away!

BUBBLE4: Ariri...?
BUBBLE5: Did he say "Ichinose?"

057:
BUBBLE1: Lucky!
BUBBLE2: I guess I found my dad.

sfx: dodododo (step step step...)

BUBBLE3: Huh?

BUBBLE4: Wh, Wh, What are you doing!?
BUBBLE5: Why did you come to...?

BUBBLE6: Ah. *heart* [Can't make heart marks on a Mac. Macs are stupid.]
BUBBLE7: You're that nice boy from yesterday!

BUBBLE8: I fainted after all that,
BUBBLE9: but when I woke up I was with my grandparents.

058:
BUBBLE1: I didn't see my mom anywhere in the house, though....
BUBBLE2: Of course not! I'm not married yet.

BUBBLE3: So I had no other option but to come here and look for my dad.
TEXT1: Grandma said he was at school

BUBBLE4: It's frustrating, but if I want to fix my mom's genes
BUBBLE5: I have to make my dad take me to her house.
BUBBLE6: Frustrating?

BUBBLE7: It's against the law to talk about the future, but ...
BUBBLE8: I hate my father. *heart*

059:
BUBBLE1: Wh-Wh-Why do you hate him...?
sfx: Hmmm....
BUBBLE2: Sorry. I really wanna tell you,
BUBBLE3: but it's a crime if I say more than that.

TEXT1: Whatever! She can love me or hate me, she's still my daughter!
sfx: kiin kooon (ding dong)
TEXT2: My target is her mother....

BUBBLE4: Anyway, you can't come to school.
sfx: kiin kooon (ding dong)
BUBBLE5: I'll take you there, so let's go!

060:
BUBBLE1: "Go?" Go where?

BUBBLE2: To your mother's place.

BUBBLE3: What's her first name?
BUBBLE4: Her maiden name?
BUBBLE5: Or, you can just tell me where she lives!

BUBBLE6: Trust me. I WILL save your mother!

061:
BUBBLE1: Wh-What's wrong?
BUBBLE2: Th ...
BUBBLE3: Thank you....

BUBBLE4: I was dead-set on coming coming here,
BUBBLE5: but really I've been so scared and worried....

062:
BUBBLE1: Come on,
BUBBLE2: don't cry over something like this!
BUBBLE3: Aww, my motives are....

BUBBLE4: Ahaha.
BUBBLE5: You're such a nice guy.

BUBBLE6: I wish I my stupid father were here to see you.
BUBBLE7: He could learn a thing or two!

BUBBLE8: Anyway, let's hurry to your mother's place.
BUBBLE9: Uh, about that....

BUBBLE10: Apologies, but I cannot allow that.

063:
BUBBLE1: Public security!
BUBBLE2: Damn.

BUBBLE3: !?

BUBBLE4: !

BUBBLE5: Stop! He has nothing to do with this!
BUBBLE6: Then surrender. If you use your shock wave now, he'll be in danger as well.

sfx: ta (dash)

064:
BUBBLE1: Now then, stop you crimes
BUBBLE2: and sleep in this cryopod for seventeen years, brat!
[cryogenic hibernation machine]
sfx: shuuu (sound of the mist expelling from the pod)
MACHINE: City Police Department, Temporal Security Division

BUBBLE3: Before that...

BUBBLE4: Four others are supposed to have jumped along with you.
BUBBLE5: Tell us where they are.

BUBBLE6: You do have the right to remain silent, but we have our orders.
BUBBLE7: If you keep your mouth shut, we'll just peruse your recovery disc.

BUBBLE8: "Recovery disc?"

065:
TEXT1: To pass through time, organic matter needs to be broken down into particles.
TEXT2: The "Time Jumper," a defective machine, is the foundation of this system.

TEXT3: After time jumping, as the particles are restored to its former state,
TEXT4: the Time Jumper and its rider are merged into one.

BUBBLE1: As a precaution, one's particle data is recorded
BUBBLE2: into a "recovery disk," constructed of antiparticles, prior to time jumping.
sfx: kyuiiiii (inital whirring)

066:
BUBBLE1: People like us who have time jumped, called the "rebuilt," have bodies that consist of a concentration of unstable particles,
BUBBLE2: but the data stored on this disc allows us to retain our human forms.
sfx: kiiiiiii (whirring)

BUBBLE3: Changing that data
SMALL BUBBLES: Paki, peki(unknown sfx... the sound of his appearance changing)
sfx: kiiiiii (whirring)

BUBBLE4: enables us to draw out properties of the machine merged with us.
sfx: kashan (shuffling sounds?... anyway, more sounds of his appearance changing)

BUBBLE5: Of course
BUBBLE6: information about my body, my memories ... even my clothing are recorded
BUBBLE7 as they were before the jump.
TEXT1: Ugly.

BUBBLE8: I get it! So when the
BUBBLE9: professor said that the key to genetic manipution is put in the disc, he was talking about that disc?
BUBBLE10: I'm going to delete that data from your disc.
sfx:peki, paki, gashan (changing his appearance)


067:
BUBBLE1: What!? You can't....
BUBBLE2: Gyaaaa!

BUBBLE3: R-Run!
BUBBLE4: Go to your mother!

BUBBLE5: What are you doing, you brat!?
BUBBLE6: Ngh....
sfx: DOKAAA (BAM!)

BUBBLE7: Idiot!

068:
sfx: kiiiii (whirring)

BUBBLE1: !
sfx: hyuuuun (blowing of wind)

sfx: dooooooo (impact noises; deep, loud rumbling)
sfx: za (clutch)

069:
sfx: buuuu (a rising pitch)

BUBBLE1: No! Can't you control that!?

BUBBLE2: Shock wave!

sfx: DOOOOO (BOOOM!)

sfx: gogogogogo (rumbling)

BUBBLE3: What the!?
BUBBLE4: What was that!?

BUBBLE5: Whoa....
sfx: gogogogo (rumbling)

070:
BUBBLE1: You're powers are incredible...!
BUBBLE2: Yeah, but I'm getting sleepy again.
BUBBLE3: WHAT!?

071:
BUBBLE1: Hurry and put me down
BUBBLE2: so we can go to your mother's house.
BUBBLE3: We can't.

BUBBLE4: I don't know my mom's first name, her maiden name, or her address.
BUBBLE5: I thought I could just find her at home!

BUBBLE6: But, but don't worry! I'm sure my dad knows it all!
BUBBLE7: He's probably already dating mom anyway!

BUBBLE8: There's no way I would know!

BUBBLE9: ??

072:
BOX1: In the end,
BOX2: Chimari

BUBBLE1: Sorry, Chief....
BUBBLE2: I, uhh....
BUBBLE3: Shock her.
BUBBLE4: GI

BUBBLE5: Gyaaaaaa!

BOX3: has to be my daughter.
BOX4: Definitely.

BOX5: After all,
BOX6: idiocy is in our genes.
BUBBLE6: Man...what am I supposed
BUBBLE7: to do now...?
TEXT1: End of Chapter Two
