Disclaimer:I do not own any of the characters in the story.They are NOT mine.Phew.
Description:This story portrays the early adventures of Gene Starwind.This takes place before the T.V. series of Outlaw and shows the events leading up to Outlaw Star.There are many places in the fic that are not seen in the series.I made them up for pure entertainment. There are some rather graphic elements in this story,so be warned.
"Morning's Dawn,Part 1"
It was late,yet the city did not sleep.The bright neon signs of small shops combined with the windows of the tall skyscrapers to cast bright shadows about.Many people still lined the streets,mainly the hardcore late nighters.The shops of the city had cleverly placed themselves close to the bars and whore houses so they could get a greater flow of customers.In one particular bar,called "Blood and Fire",the attendance was the greatest so far.
The speakers in the bar blasted out rock music,along with techno and other various styles.The dance floor was full,and so was the bar.This was a easy place to go in alone and come out with somebody you had never met.Yet one young man had no intention to do that.He sat silently at a table in a darkened corner,his eyes scanning the throngs.His sleevless shirt stuck to him,due to the enourmous amount of body heat that was in the bar.Strapped to his hip was a Bren Ten 10mm handgun and in the small case next to him was a pair of submachine guns.
Suddenly the man's eyes widened when he saw his objective walk through the door.The subject was huge,an incredibly tall and muscular man who was being escorted by two other thugs,each armed with 9mm handguns holstered across their chests.The trio wearyly scanned the room for trouble.When they were comfortable,they proceeded in.
"Let's do this,"the man thought to himself,as he rose from the table.Just to be safe he traded the 10mm for one of the subs and carefully pulled his trenchcoat,with titanium armoured shoulder plates,on.He concealed the sub in it's folds and walked to where the group now sat in a booth.
"Excuse me,"he asked when he stopped at the booth.
"Yeah,what the hell do you want?"the big man asked,contempt in his voice.
"Are you the man called Goio Ento?"
The big man glanced at his guards,who slowly began to move their hands towards their 9mm handguns.
"Yeah,who are you and why do you wanna know?"Goio asked,his voice angry.
"Thank you,"the young man replied.Suddenly the youth pulled forth the hidden submachine gun and opened fire.Goio had no time to react from the lighting move and the first burst caught him in the chest.
Blood splattered across the table and the people in the bar screamed. One of Goio's men unholstered his gun and fired.The bullet grazed the attacker,cutting deep.The young man fired again,hitting Goio's guard in the forehead.His head exploded in a shower of pink and he slumped across the table.The second guard tried to run,but was taken down by a bullet to the back of his head.Off in the distance police sirens wailed and only then did he notice the bar was empty.

"Goio Ento,wanted for 3 murders,2 rapes,and multiple robberies,"the police officer read from the computer's data files.
"How much is the reward?"the young man asked.
"Well,it says here you should receive ten thousand for taking him out,"the officer said,reading some more from the computer screen.
"I would like my reward now."
"Sure thing,"the officer smiled,"but before I can clear you,I need your name,if you wouldn't mind."
"Oh,no problem,"the young man smiled,"My name is Gene Starwind."
"Well,congratulations then Mister Starwind."
~*~*~*~*
Gene emerged from the police station,and crammed the packet of reward money into his coat.He looked at his arm where he had been shot.The hospital doctor had stiched it shut and wrapped it heavily in gauze.
Gene knew it would be at least three weeks before he'd be healed,so the money would have to last him.He squinted at the light from the just rising sun,and smiled.Gene turned and walked away from the station as the sun rose higher,bathing the city in the warmth of a new day.
