"Ready when you are Len." replied Shin,smiling.
"Let's go!"
And they were off.Both of them ran on the top of a building and leaped over the gap that separated two buildings from one another.When Shin landed,he quickly fell into a front roll to lessen the impact of the jump before recovering from the roll quickly and continued his run.The thrill and adrenaline was making this fun,and the wind on his face gave him a great feeling.Another jump.
"Hey,hey!Len,wait.Let's make this a tag game." he ran over to the older man and tapped his back. "You're it." then he ran,laughing.
"Oh you rascal!" the man named Len chased after him.
Shin quickly utilized one of the gaps between the buildings to slide down to ground base.He tapped his shoes on the floor.He smelled burning rubber.
"Ugh..." he checked his shoes. "I slid down from 12 floors...looks like I'm going to have to get some new kicks..." he looked up and saw Len sliding down after him.He quickly ran down the alley.There was no way Len would be able to tag him.He jumped up and kicked off from one side of the wall to the other,then kicked off again,gaining height and evading the hands of Len,who had managed to close the gap.He did a quick flip and landed on top of a dumpster's cover.He looked back and saw Len running after him.He smirked before standing up and frontflipped over Len,who jumped onto the dumpster at the same time.
"See ya!" Shin taunted,before running away.He heard a small sigh from Len,and he smiled to himself.
In front of him was a small wall,and he had to get over it to escape from Len.Smiling,he jumped and grabbed hold of the ledge,before using his legs 'walk' on the wall.But for some reason,his feet didn't meet anything at all. He looked down to find that his feet had disappeared.In his panic,he let go of the wall and fell down on the alley floor.
"What!What's going on!!LEN!LEN!I lost my legs!Save me!!Somebody!" he yelled out,almost crying with fear.He looked at the wall and saw that there was a black hole in the middle of it,where his feet had gone through.Was that what made his legs disappear?The black hole seemed to grow larger and larger in size,much to Shin's disbelieving fear,and soon,everything was dark.That was the last thing Shin could remember as he screamed out in the dark.
Shin slowly opened his eyes.He blinked a couple of times,adjusting himself to his surroundings.He looked up and saw himself in the glass.Wait...in the glass?And what was with his extremely long hair?And he was stark naked!WHAT?!He looked around and saw 5 other similar glass tubes,each holding their own inhabitants.He looked at himself again.He looked...different.There wasn't any blemishes on his body.And there was no more scars on his knees from a free-running accident.And the surgery scars on his chest were gone.He looked perfect,skin as smooth as a baby's.He watched as one of the girls climbed out of her tube,followed by one of the guys.He decided to follow suit as well.Besides...could he even breath inside here?He cut through the liquid with strong,heavy strokes.The liquid wasn't water,that's for sure,there was no buoyancy at all.But to Shin,it seemed like a piece of cage to reach for the top.He popped the lid of and grabbed onto the edge.He relinquished his hold on the edge when a surge of electricity shocked him.Right...He swan back to the top again,and this time,instead of holding the edge,he kicked off the glass and grabbed hold of the lid instead before sitting on it.The smell was awfully heavy with anti-septics.Shin wrinkled his nose before looking at the lid.
SHIKENKAN M01 - INOUE SHIN
"So I'm Inoue...Inoue Shin." He proceeded to jump off the lip onto the floor.
NINGEN NO KAMI
HUMAN-GODS
Ningen no Kami is the name of the new species of humans that are sleeping dormant in these tubes right now. They have been in these tubes since they were embryos and will awaken once they have reached the age of eighteen. These tubes are called Shikenkan and are basically their mothers' wombs. Ningen no Kami are the "perfect humans" that excel in everything,and specialize in up to five things. They have been genetically altered to look flawless and beautiful in every aspect, and will be used as our organization's successors in order to plot the next revolution, making Japan the world's ruler. Like in Las Vegas, What happens in here, stays in here.

'I've been asleep for 18 years?The National Sports Team...my life...everything from the start.Were they merely a dream?A dream that has just been taken from my hands.Did I lose everything I cherished?Is this solid reality?Or is it merely another cruel dream,waiting in the shadows to grasp my life once more?' he thought to himself,looking back at the Shikenkan.He threw a punch right at the glass,bruising his knuckles.
"This Shikenkan...is not my mother." he muttered to himself,rubbing his knuckles before he calmed himself down and stood straight.He had no business here.He wanted out.And he wanted out NOW.He looked at the door.
