"( "Tank" by The Seatbelts )" "I think it's time to blow this thing." "Get everybody and their stuff together." "Okay, 3..2..1.." "Let's JAM!" "E" "Jet:" "This peculiar story began on a blistering hot day." "Out of the blue, I got an e-mail from an old acquaintance of mine." "There was no explanation, and the message was very terse." "All it said was:" ""Seek the holy beast of Anzan"" ""I am where the four gods meet."" "Jet:" "The message came from a guy named "Pao" who I had lost touch with long time ago." "I was leery, to say the least." "So I looked into his current whereabouts." "Pao's background was unknown." "But he had a reputation as one of the...  ...three greatest Feng Shui masters on Mars." "But when I finally managed to locate him, it was not in this world." "I suppose you couldn't have sent me that message from here, could you?" "Female:" "The one who visits from the inauspicious door..." "Receives word from the heavens, and lead me to the sun stone..." "Just like the pa-kua said!" "Huh?" "Look out!" "What are you aiming at!" "?" "Heck of a place for target practice." "Hmm?" "I found a way out!" "What...?" "Hey!" "Whoa!" "Idiot!" "Shit!" "Aaahhhh!" "This way!" "Earth Chi!" "Ugh!" "That was a pretty close one, huh?" "Huh?" "I'm just glad you're safe." "Un-ha." "Huh?" "A-choo!" "And what are you up to?" "Take a look over there." "Jet's got a friend." "Hmm?" "Ohhh!" "It's a fine romance." "She's too young for that." "Hot dog bun, not too young!" "Maybe he's got a thing?" "Nah, afraid she's too old." "Oldie, moldy, history, mystery!" "Poa's little girl, huh?" "I just didn't expect you to be this old already, Meifa." "I'm sure you don't remember this when you were this little, I met you when visiting your father." "Where you friends with my father?" "How did you know him?" "How?" "Well..." "He was an acquaintance." "It's been 10 years you know." "But I sure am sorry he got killed in that transport accident..." "He was on his way to Jupiter." "They told me it was very sudden." "There was a hyperspace fluctuation." "Weeeeep!" "Here you are." "Oh, thank you." "Huh?" "You Jets: "girlfriend"?" "Huh?" "Does he have a thing for you?" "All is fair in love and war!" "Jet, why were you at my fathers grave?" "Nobody outside the family knows about his accident yet." "Message:" ""Seek the holy beast of Anzan"." ""I am where the four gods meet."" "What's this...?" "This is a message that was sent here by your father." "When?" "Three days ago." "Meifa:" "Right before the accident." "It means he knew!" "Can you help me, please!" "?" "Huh?" "It has to be!" "It's about the sun stone!" "Sun stone, what's that?" "The direction, the day, and time you arrived... were all the best combination for Feng Shui!" "Especially if you're on a quest!" "What kind of quest?" "For the sun stone!" "Please Jet, help me!" "Yes." "Yeah, we will have it soon." "Right, I understand." "So, how's the boss taking it?" "Uh, you know..." "That can't be real good." "Not good at all." "Let's do it!" "Jet:" "I didn't owe any favors to Pao or the girl." "I could have blown the whole thing off." "But something made me hang on." "Maybe it was all the dangling questions." "Why did Pao send the message to me before he died?" ""Four gods, and the holy beast of Anzan."" "What did all that mean?" "And who were the guys that tired to shot us at the grave site?" "And then there was Meifa, with that gypsy scarf, and all that spirit." "The universe is composed of the three Chi's." "One is the Chi of Heaven, the energy that comes from the Sun." "And one is the Chi of Earth, the power that comes from the planet we live on." "And the last one is the magnetic Chi that comes from organisms like us." "You mean human Chi?" "Yes, from the human body." "Each body produces a magnetic field." "Which inner acts with the magnetic field of the Earth and that's what creates the energy we all use." "Universal Feng Shui is science that reads these natural energies and applies them to everyday life." "Ice cream." "Huh?" "Ahh!" "Universal Feng Shui..." "Is that any different from plain old fortune-telling?" "Fortune-telling indeed!" "Fortune-tellers only predict or foresee." "But Feng Shui is active." "It has the power to turn bad luck into good luck." "For example, if you were a powerful Feng Shui master like my father..." "What's wrong?" "I just realized that I never spent time like this with my father..." "Wait a minute!" "First of all, I'm not old enough to be your father." "If anything, I could be your boyfriend." "No, wait, that would be bad, wouldn't it?" "Open foot, insert mouth." "I mean, I would be more like your older brother." "Ice cream." "Ice cream?" "Ice cream cone!" "Let's go, big brother." "I believe "Anzan" refers to this building." "The Mountain Hotel." "Over there!" "Blue Dragon!" "White Tiger!" "Snake and Tortoise!" "Red Phoenix!" "What's that?" "The Zenith Cross, it's the fourth god!" "It's here!" "It's the sun stone!" "You sure about that?" "Here they come." "They're right over there." "Right." "Oh, Careful!" "I finally found it..." "This is it, Jet." "The sun stone." "A black rock?" "Hmm..?" "Jet, hey!" " Get outta here!" " Hey!" "Skeezer with suits!" "A bottle of Lao Chu." "I don't need a glass." "Un!" "Un!" "Un!" "Un!" "Un!" "Now, what are you guys up too?" "Heh, you think I'm gonna tell you that?" "Not a chance baldly!" "Ugh!" "W-We're from the Blue Snake, we're on assignment!" "So you're syndicate scumbags..." "What are you following us around for?" "I-I can't tell you that even if you killed me!" "I can't tell you any more!" "I-lt's Pao." "We were after him, but he got away!" "We track him as he said." "That's what lead us to you." "I-I'm telling you the truth!" "We're on the low end, so that's all the information they gave us!" "Aaahhhh!" "Yeah, I believe ya." " Jet!" " Hmm?" "My father..." "he's alive?" "Jet:" "The words in Pao's message had lead us to the stone." "But, did that mean Pao was still alive?" "It seemed he wanted us to have this stone." "But why?" "What was we suppose to do with it?" "Every time we solved the mystery, it just lead to new ones darker and more unsettling than the ones before." "And our only clue was the stone itself." "I decided to run some test." "So this is a piece of the moon from that Gate accident 50 years ago?" "Feng Shui masters call it the sun stone." "You see all the time and space fluctuations were absorbed by the stone, condensing a tremendous amount of energy, amplified by the sun." "Looks like a plain old moon rock to me, you know?" "Hey, how much is it worth if we try to sell it?" "Alright, you two smoke outside if you need to smoke." "What?" "Excuse me, but you always smoke in here Jet.!" "This is now, a non smoking area." "Come on now, you're joking around, right?" "Do I look like I'm joking to you?" "It's my ship." "Huh?" "Ahhh!" "So, what are you gonna do with this sun stone?" "I don't know." "I have no idea." "My father had something in mind, but what?" "Hey, come here!" "Ein!" "What are you doing?" "The luo-pan..." "What is it?" "It can't be." "It shouldn't spin like that." "I took the magnet off." "I see..." "I get it now!" "Huh?" "So that's the point!" "Huh?" "WE CAN DO IT!" "You see, my father has a sun stone as well." "The two stones resonate to one another." "If we follow the energy, it will lead us to my father." "So that's why Pao wanted you to find this stone." "It's like a beacon." "Yes, but..." "I don't know why my father sent that message to you." "...and not to me." "What do you think, Spike?" "They make a good couple." "I think it's a dangerous combination." "Why is that?" "The more righteous a guy was back in his youth the more likely he's is to fall for some young thing when he gets older." "Is that right?" "Definitely, men are extremely predictable." "My father believed in Universal Feng Shui, and nothing else." "He couldn't believe in people." "So my mother left him, and she took me with her ." "That was seven years ago..." "I'm sure he could have found me, it wouldn't have been that hard, you know?" "But he never tried once in all those years." "I'm sure there's a good reason for it." "And what's the reason those men were after my father?" "They're bad men, how did they know him?" "Please, tell me the truth, Jet!" "I want to know who my father really is." "Jet:" "Pao... was the consultant for a major syndicate." "That's the real story." "He leaked some inside information to me when I was a detective with ISSP." "See, he was looking for a way out, and thought I could help him find it." "I tried, but it's impossible for someone to leave when they know that much." "Once you join the syndicate, they own you forever." "If you cross them, they take revenge on you and your family." "I'm sure that's what he was trying to avoid." "But you can ask him yourself, if the sun stone leads us to him." "Meifa:" "Here!" "Over this way!" "Faye:" "There's nothing here." "And the radar?" "Spike:" "Un-umm." "Meifa:" "That can't be..." "I'm sure this is the right spot." "Spike:" "Hmm?" "Wait..." "Hold on." "Got company!" "These guys never give up." "Spike, Faye, deploy!" "This is your little party, Jet!" "Battle stations or die with the ship!" "Those are your options!" "What the hell am I doing this for?" "Spike:" "It's called giving, Faye." "Think of us as Fairy Godparents." "We're about to grant the princess' a very special wish." "Faye:" "We are, huh?" "Robot ships...!" "?" "So these must be the evil stepsisters." "Shit!" "They're trying to scare us!" "Ed:" "I got it!" "I got it!" "I got it!" "Jet:" "Spike!" "Come back in!" "What's, that!" "?" "It looks like if we apply enough energy to the stone we can draw out the forces trapped inside it." "Yeah, great." "Then what?" "Then we take our shot, all-or-nothing." "What ever you're gonna do, do it fast!" "I put it in!" "All right!" "Jet:" "Spike, hit with your plasma cannon." "Right, I'm shooting a rock now." "(Communicator beeps)" "Huh?" "Looks like you made it in time, Jet..." "Pao!" "You're alive..." "Meifa..." "It's been a long time." "Pao, you're in a unstable force field." "I can't get any closer." "Yes, I know..." "There's no oxygen left here anyway." "I sent you that message because I hoped you could bring my daughter out here..." "So... you're trying to tell me that you used Feng Shui to bring us here?" "!" "Pao:" "That's right." "It's not right." "You weren't in control of this operation." "Meifa is here now because because she wanted to find you." "You might be right." "Perhaps I gave myself too much credit." "Meifa... it's so wonderful to see you one last time." "I hated you for all those years." "It's true." "It hurt so much." "But now I don't." "Daddy..." "Jet:" "Now, I don't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing...  ...that we brought her out there." "But that was how this peculator case ended." "Meifa went back home to Mars." "Our no smoking area became a smoking zone again." "And life returned to the same daily routine just like before." "One thing has changed, though..."
