This piece of fan fiction is situated in a new universe unrelated to my Ravens universe, my 'Opportunities' universe, the 'Forevermore' universe and the BOTP universe that I have previously posted.
This Gatchaman universe contains the Master Thief Remy LeBeau, Gambit from Marvel comic books.
Wait! Don't hit the back icon yet!
This *isn't* a Gatchaman/Marvel Universe Crossover. There are no mutants in this universe. So no telepathy, no telekinesis, no ice powers, no control of magnetism, no X-Men, no Avengers, etc.,
On the plus side, you don't have to have prior knowledge of Gambit to read this story. On the down side, if you already hate the character Gambit... well--this isn't *exactly* the Gambit you know from the books. I mean... I *could* have created a brand new character and society but...
<sigh> Never mind, if I lost you as a reader because I used Gambit, you wouldn't have read this far...
You can blame Daniel Rush for the inspiration. He's the one who first mentioned putting Gambit into the Kagaku Ninjatai Gatchaman universe as a sixth member of the KNT and fired my imagination on the GML **way** back in August 1997. We exchanged e-mails and I proposed a story which describes the KNT's first encounter with a Master Thief known as Gambit...
Unfortunately, my last input from Dan on this piece was in November 1997. {I will get you for this, Dan. <grin>} I already put too much thought behind it to toss it on my discard pile, so I'm writing it now.
The story line still follows the basic structure I mapped out when Dan and I first started this, but I changed quite *a lot* of elements between November 1997 and now. I'm also playing around with the idea of different spoken languages in this piece.
I admit now that I'm rather useless at writing a mischievous Jinpei, I am more comfortable with writing him as an older boy, like I do in Ravens. But Dan set the tone for Jinpei's character, so I'm just following through as best as I can.
If there are no objections Dan, I am claiming ownership of this universe now.
Depending on the response to this piece, I may turn it into an open-ended series. Who knows? I could even start inserting other comic book characters into this universe. Marvel... DC... Vertigo... A lot will also depend on whether or not I feel there's a story to tell and if I think a particular character insertion makes sense. Otherwise, it could spawn a different universe <grin>
If you want to raise suggestions, send them over and if I do develop something from it, I'll give credit where it's due :-)
Daniel Rush named this piece and provided the location for the story. Information on the Escillis poison was also provided by Dan. Lucien David and Jintaro Cain belong to Daniel Rush. Andre and the concept of International Guilds in this Gatchaman Universe belong to Jacque Koh, as does this particular use of Gambit. :-)
So without further ado, I now present to you...
