My name is Ben, I have been searching out former characters from various manga and the subsequent Anime that appeared. I know it sounds boring but...
His eyes opened blurry and caked with rhuem. The smell of firewood burned in his lungs. He felt cold, he felt naked! Still unable to visualize the room ( was it a room?) he was laying in on what felt like dirt and blankets. The smoke was thick and suddenly filled with the smells of coffee and steaks. He blinked quickly because he was famished and wanted something to eat. He then listened for noises that might help him nail down where the hell he was.
The sounds he heard were a bit weird and a lot quiet. Vehicle traffic noises, horns, levmotors, and an occasional yell of a driver, but a bit far away and above his head. The wind shifted what sounded like a tent flap.
"I'm in a tent with a fire pit on a bedroll, and under a raised highway." He thought to himself.
"Ah, your awake." the voice said, "I was thinking the old man's finally lost it."
The voice was male and very close to his ears. The heat from the fire was warming and helped a bit with making his arms move...
"Woah there Kimosabe. No moving just yet. You are recovering from death again."

Chapter 1
"Down With the Sickness"
"I told you several times already he has been gone for nearly a year. He was wearing a navy blue jacket black pants fair complexion and a pom-pom dark green hairdo he would be about 30 years old and is dangerous with or without arms!"
Jet has been working hard this last year, first he hears about the death of Vicious which was a great relief to him. Second; the remainder of the Red Dragon Clan was coming after him and Faye not a lot of them but still not a great thing. Third; and most serious, "Spike Spiegel! has been missing for a damned year and you still act like I'm in cahoots with him, I am ISSP TOO YAH KNOW!"
The Inter-Solar System Police splash screen was responding back, "Were Mister Black, were." The screen went black and 40 woolong charge appeared. Followed by Thanks for utilizing the zenith network.
Suddenly there was a crashing flashing light and glass pieces littering the staff room of the Bebop. Normally this happens rarely but that was the last working viewer and the third in as many days.
"Faye! Bring the med kit I used the wrong arm again!"
The tent was once again quiet with only the sounds of traffic etcetera going on.
Spike's bandages were soaked with antibiotics antibacterials antifungals anti genetics and anti cybernetics. Also urine from the old man.
Spike realized the smoke wasn't for him it was for the smell. Spikes last memories were of the loss of Julia and the death of Vicious. He was just starting to ask where and how he got here.
"You are here because the spirits called out to you and told me where to find you. I found you and you're here." Laughing Bull responded to his thoughts. "Enough talking bird go to sleep." With a flourish of hands the light dimmed to darkness.
Spike was soon dreaming but it was as if his right eye was doing it. A happy scene unfolded, Ed was there talking to Ein about quantum computers that she had made friends with and wanted to introduce him to them. Ein responded with a single bark. Faye was there pouring a drink for her older(younger) sister her name was Rae and at 60 she was very pretty. Things were comfortable and nice and...
BOOM!
The scene showed the Bebop burning and falling to the sea as pieces flew off and minor explosions littered its metal rain shower. The bridge and nose were still intact and Ed was grabbing Spike's arm yelling something to him..."Jet is in Bebop. Spike go and save him."
The water consumed the Bebop and it was gone. The splash was huge and was heading right at...
SPLASH!
"Wake up bird!" The water was very cold and Spike sat up slowly pain from the stomach wound, pain from hunger, pain from not moving, and one hell of a headache.
Laughing Bull looked at his handy work mumbling an incantation or two.
"I can do no more, bird now you must fly again watch yourself from your spirit." Laughing Bull's son appeared with a fresh washed pants and jacket,a white shirt with a permanent bloodstain and a thin tie.
"I'm still looking for the shoes they were moved around the tent a few weeks ago but they are here."
Spike was still reeling from his dream he remembered the flames curling from the Bebop, the shape of a red dragon.
