Thank you very much for the info, James and Amy! No, it's not a Gatch F fic. It's actually going to be a mammoth sequel to events that took place in Gatch F. Yes, Ego is going to be in it, but I am very, very sure you're NOT going to like what I do to him in the story. I'm pretty sure even the Swannies would want to kill me for what I'm going to do to Jun also.

The only things I could say for certain about this story is that:
1) The title of the story is "Saving Icarus".
3) It's probably going to be around 10-20 chapters long.
4)
5) Sosai Z is *still* alive.
6) All of the major baddies from the 3 Gatch series will be in this story. I'm not saying how they look.


Sincerely,
Rory


That's good news, Rory! Wanna bet I won't like what happens to Ego? You might loose.

He,he, he all 3 of them? That's even better! And Sosai on top!

But have I read well? Surgery to the Eagle and Condors? Unless is a sex-change surgery (Swannies will be very mad in that case)

Honestly, what will you do to Ego?
Torture? Bondage? Worse things? Damn, I gotta get the smut out of my brain!


Are you really sure you want to be spoiled that much? What happened to Ego, Berg Katse and Gel Sadra, etc. is actually one of the shocking parts of the story, and I really don't want to get this particular detail out.

As for the surgery, I could only say this much. Dr. Black Jack will be attempting to cure Ken of the cancer that resulted from the use of the Hypershoot, but he will discover something about the Eagle because of it. It is this "something" that will bind the events in the story together.

Dear James,

Again, thank you so much for that information! Just one last question. Sorry for this, but the screencaps I've seen are so tiny, I couldn't see the image all that well.

Just how does Sosai Z look like? Was he that antimatter asteroid? So the part that Ken stabbed with his sword was his brain?

Sorry for asking so many questions. I'm the type who's very meticulous with detail when it comes to writing fics.

Sincerely,
Rory

Is this the same Black Jack that Daniel Rush uses in his story, where Mark is shot by a sniper?

You'll have to tell me who Daniel Rush is because I haven't read any story of his.

He is over at Gatchaman Fanfic Archives and has written a fair number of stories

I guess if you have not read any of his stories then you can not answer that question. But he sounds like the same Dr. - works on hard or near impossible cases.

Let me check it tomorrow. I'm finishing some deadlines today and we also have an editorial board meeting. Grrrr...

EDIT: Just checked. Yep, it's that Dr. Black Jack. But...my pardons to Daniel Rush...I'll do Black Jack better than he did in his story. And I would have to thank my former background as a doctor for this.

Anyway, just in case you're curious, here's a pic for your reference. This was made by my artist friend Laura Zel Carboni, who's a huge Black Jack fan. The guy on the left is Black Jack. The silver-haired guy on the right is Dr. Kiriko. In the story I'm doing, Black Jack will be the one protecting Ken. Dr. Kiriko, who in Osamu Tezuka's anime/stories is a former Vietnam War vet doctor with a knowledge in biological weapons, will be the new Chief Scientist of the ISO and Joe's ally.

Looks like he might be the same.
The story I was thinking of is called 'Leap of Faith" and you get a fair description of Black Jack right in the first chapter, but he appears through out the 19 chapter story healing Mark from a bullet to the spine.

Hi all!

quote:
Dr. Black Jack will be attempting to cure Ken of the cancer that resulted from the use of the Hypershoot, but he will discover something about the Eagle because of it.


The only problem with this is that Ken is not dying from cancer. We actually wrote about this back in the GatchaCon fanzine in 1998, in a section called "Gatchaman" Myths and Truths. What we said then was as follows:

"While Ken is suffering from a physical problem in the latter half 'Gatchaman Fighter,' what he has is a bit different than cancer. Instead, constant exposure to the energy used in the Hyper Shoot has caused cellular disruption of Ken's body. In episode 35 of the series, Director Nambu realizes the extent of the damage that has been done to Ken. With continued exposure, this disruption would cause Ken to simply disintegrate. A cure is discovered in episode 37, thanks to the development of the Neo-Bio Reactor, a device that can revitalize cells. But this 'cure' is only a stopgap measure, and by episode 41, Director Nambu found that it was no longer very effective. By episode 46, it was determined that if Ken used the Hyper Shoot one more time, he would die."

As for what Governor Z looks like, it all depends on what part of him you're looking at. At his most basic, Z is nothing more than a single small piece of Governor X, the only part that survived X's destruction in "Gatchaman II" #52. That piece is what Ken sliced in two at the end of the series, and it looks like this:

 

When people usually see Z, what they see is the gigantic outer shell that he built around himself, looking much like a metal pyramid. It looks like this:

 

When Z brought Egobossler inside his shell to talk with him directly, Z appeared as a large, shadowy shape with lights flashing around him. This shape towered over Egobossler, and looked like this:

 

 

Z is not the anti-matter asteroid. The asteroid is something that Z brought to Earth in order to destroy the planet.

I hope this helps!

James

Cheers to the Gatch Magic

So much wonderful information and I'm attending a lousy medical convention...Grrrr!

Thank you very much for that *wealth* of information, James! Especially the huge screencaps. For someone who had to squint through thumbnails, these were very, very helpful!! Although I must admit the last pic scared the s**t out of me.

Sorry, Amy, Ego will definitely NOT retain his original appearance, but will revert back to it in the end. And that's all I can say.

Apologies for the short reply. I'm being crowded around by doctors in the room that has been set up as a cybercafe. I would much rather do something else than attend this convention actually.

Will be back (hopefully!) Saturday!

Rory

Well it's still good to hear it! When you say original appeareance or the blue one? Wasn't Sosai the one who caused the transformation?
I hope he will become a better person towards the end! And that he'll finally get a girfriend!

No, Z didn't cause him to become blue-skinned. He had the blue skin and the white hair following the surgery he had done to change his face to look like that of his half brother. Since his half brother had brown hair and normal skin color, exactly why he did this is unknown.

James one question.

Why haven't they employed you to work on the scripts for the movie???

If you had some say in it, James...I would definitely say the film was in good hands...then I could really be optimistic! Bounce2
