This is the prelude of the story "Big Burning Heart" english version !
A friend translate it to me^^ (Maybe there's mistakes, but I don't give a crap, I'm really happy he does that for me^^ )
After many wars, the world was finally at peace and stability was in the air. Seriously wounded, nature had grown over the ruins of what was once radical urbanism. Though, here and there, small groups of people were trying to restore its grandeur to their beloved city.
Even though, violence kept going in the streets of Tokyo, but at an inferior scale. Bahn Akaishushin, 28 years old gang leader used to spend his time conquering territories in order to spread his grasp on most of the districts.
Until this day, in spring…
Even if the atmosphere was tense, Bahn used to be carefree and enjoyed meaningless fights instead of keeping an eye on his true enemy. Until the day he was defied by the leader of a district where he had no authority. The young woman had lost more than a fight that day. Bahn didn’t mean to kill her, but in the heat of the fight, after a violent blow on the back of her neck, she was gone. When he ripped off the mask that veiled her face, he was like struck by lightning. The young woman he had just killed was his first girlfriend, barely his only good memories from his childhood. Tears of rage and despair were dropping from his eyes as he pressed the corpse against his chest. He yelled at the sky: « Why? WHYYYYY!!! »
Police, warned by the neighbourhood, was on the scene in the minute. Bahn had to run in the dark streets, leaving his first love lain on the ground, under the rain.
Bahn stopped in front of a little shop, safe but out of breath. He looked at his image in the window and then at his hands… « I never meant, I swear ! Why have I done this? » He wandered alone in the streets, dressed in rags and with the cap of his former school. He was without a job and probably without a gang either. He was now all alone. He said to himself « What am I gonna do? ». At first he thought about returning to his father who held a ramen shop (Japanese noodles), but he was well aware of the fact that he would never be accepted there. Not after choosing the ways of the street, of gangs and violence rather than look for a serious job.
And so he went to the temple district, where he could rest. Temples were full of eatable offerings that contented his stomach. Bahn was well known in this district for his violent actions. Indeed, he found it easier to solve problems with the strength of his own fist. Sometimes, he was even “solving” things before the problems show.
He actually confessed in a little temple, on the top of a hill. In the temple of passion who was quite famous among the young lovers. This temple was modest; there was only a bell, hanged by a stiff red and white cord. He started to pray for the soul of his lost love, still shaking with anger against himself and with sorrow and infinite despair. He swore in front of the gods: «I’ll never hurt anyone ever. Help me find my way.»
While he was still at his prayers, a sound caught his attention. Police was in the neighborhood. Bahn was in panic; he had to escape the police at all cost. He looked everywhere for an alternate exit but this small temple had only one way in and out. Bahn noticed a little crack right under the bell. He kicked the paving stone with his geta (wooden Japanese sandal) and it broke, leading him under the ground. Bahn found himself in a vast dark room and managed to recover his senses. Without even looking back, he stepped through the room and arrived before stairs going downwards. He stepped down. The next room was enlightened with glowing moss and had a sort of panel carved in stone on the ground. It represented two waves and a drop of water held together into a heart. Bahn also noticed that symbols were carved in the walls too. He was not really good at reading and used to argue with Kanji (Japanese characters). The only books he used to read were the simplest mangas and as a result, those ancient carvings were absolutely unreadable to him. The situation had left him with no other choice but looking for an exit first because the police had probably followed him underground. He tried all he could but had to face the evidence: « Fuck it! I’m stuck! »
Bahn heard a charming voice behind him. « Hold on! Don’t touch a thing! » With his great senses of survival, he ran as fast as he could to the opposite wall. He tangled his feet in the pavement and fell pitifully before the eyes of the young woman. This guy was just pathetic to her « Wha…what an idiot! » Olly, as a member of the Japan Defense Committee, had seen many kinds of calamities, but this one owned them all. The young lady was famous in the Committee not only for her intelligence but mostly for her super-sized breasts. Bahn was trying to get back on his feet and placed his both hands on the panel mumbling a word he should have never have pronounced : « Aï! »
The heart-carved panel shone suddenly and blinded Bahn, he felt as if his heart was melting. A strong burn feeling was killing him with pain. He had the feeling that flames were devouring him. « It burns! Help! »
Olly was watching the whole scene, totally paralyzed by fear, while Bahn was rolling on the ground. Then, the heart symbol vanished from the stone and the pain running through Bahn’s body stopped immediately and he could finally get up. He checked his body rapidly and found out he was undamaged. He also noticed the presence of a mysterious tattoo on his chest. «What’s this? It looks like this symbol on the ground, there. Huh? Where has it gone? ». Olly got closer from Bahn and gave him a wild smack in the face yelling: « Dumbass! Do you have the slightest idea of what you’ve just done? » Bahn, carefree as ever, replied « um...well, no… not quite. But I have a strong feeling I’m about to get it revealed! »
As soon as he ended his sentence, a purple ray emerged from his tattoo and had him bowed in rear. The ray blew the ceiling and got lost far into the sky, like a bullet of light sent in outer-space. Bahn, totally amazed, said « Wow! Awesome… Did I do it myself ? » Olly thought in herself it could have happened to someone better than this stupid tramp. She managed to keep her blood cold and tried to calmly explain him what the situation was: « So here we are, I’ll try to make it clear: You’ve just been granted the Symbol of the Burning Passion which possesses very particular powers. The ray that just spread from your chest was a message sent through space. To summarize, an asshole has just warned dangerous aliens that time to invade earth has finally come. The end of the world has just been triggered off. » Bahn slowly raised his sad-looking-dog air. His eyes met with Olly’s super-sized breasts « Holy cow! How huge! » A second smack reached his cheek. « Don’t you understand ?! You are the one who condemned us … though, there’s still a chance that you could save us. But you’ll have to be under the command of the Committee of Defense. » Bahn answered « Wait a minute fat cow, I don’t work for anybody. No one ever tells me what to do, I am my own master. And you won’t be the one preventing me from acting like that anyway! »...
